Thursday May 14 2026 - Scanner News - Panhandle Scanner News

(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) -- Yesterday, just after noon, scanner traffic indicated a pedestrian versus vehicle accident around 20th Street for a 52-year-old female hit by a car. Fortunately, no major injuries were reported. You can find the audio of that call in the comments on our Facebook page. (LAKE ALICE, Neb.) -- Around 8 p.m., Scotts Bluff Rural Fire District was dispatched to a structure fire on County Road C, north of Scottsbluff. All occupants were confirmed out of the home. The structure was fully involved upon arrival. Mutual aid was then requested from Gearing Fire, Minatare-Malbeta Fire, Bayard Fire, and Banner County Fire for pumpers, tankers, and Type 6. Dry and windy conditions caused this structure fire to spread rapidly, also causing a grass fire. The structure, contents, and vehicles were a total loss. The State Fire Marshal's Office deemed the cause undetermined. All units cleared the scene six hours later at 2 a.m. Thunderstorms rolled through the area last night, but brought more lightning than rain. Multiple fires started overnight across the Panhandle, with major coverage being provided by the WatchDuty app. To our knowledge, there are currently three fires burning, the Sandy Fire, the Grizzly Bear Fire, and the Ash Pole Fire in Sioux and Dawes Counties. Yesterday morning, we mentioned the Red Flag Warning, and we ask everyone to please continue to heed all warnings. Dangerous fire conditions will remain throughout the day. For these stories and more, and all the coverage on the overnight traffic, please visit our website at panhandlescanner.com, or our Facebook page by the same name.

The Principle of Partnership (Untangled From Doubt) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

Apart from the act of Creation, can you find where God decided to do something for humanity anywhere in the Bible without some conversation or partnership with humankind? When the world became so dark and evil, to the point where God regretted creating people, there was a man who found favour in His eyes. God partnered with Noah and preserved the human race. Without Noah responding to the Word, the instructions of God, all the people of the earth would have been destroyed. (See Genesis 6). To establish a nation, he called another man, Abraham. Abraham received a promise with a visual representation to remind Him of what God vowed to do. When he looked up to the stars, or down to his feet in the sand, he was reminded of what God had said: “You will be a father of many nations.” (See Genesis 17:5). He partnered with Joseph to bring provision. He partnered with Moses to bring deliverance. He partnered with Rahab to bring protection. He partnered with Joshua to occupy the land He promised His people. He partnered with David to rule His people. He partnered with Solomon to build His temple where His people could worship. He partnered with His prophets to bring vision and direction. There was not one account where God provided, delivered, protected, occupied territory, ruled, or directed His people without their permission and participation. God will never force His will on us, we have to humble ourselves, ask, and submit to the Word (the promises and the instructions) we receive from Him. God wants to bring salvation to the earth. He wants to bring salvation into your circumstances. Into the situations you are passionately praying for. He wants to bring solutions through you for the world around you. Will you partner with Him? He partnered with Mary to bring Salvation into the world. This is what Mary did when she received the Word Gabriel delivered. She partnered with God when she responded: “Let it be unto me according to your word.” (See Luke 1:38). And the Word became flesh in her. She took herself away for the first three months as she protected and nurtured the Word she received within her heart. There were no physical signs to reveal she was about to give birth to the Messiah. She only had a promise/a word. There was no sensation of a baby kicking inside her yet. To safeguard the incorruptible seed conceived in her heart, she surrounded herself with people of faith. Elizabeth, her cousin, was also experiencing a supernatural birth. Mary had a visual representation of the promise the Lord made to her. Mary wrote a beautiful song, praising God for the salvation about to enter the earth through her. She sang praises to God in thanksgiving for what He was doing through the presence of Jesus on the earth. She sang this song before she had the baby in her arms; before the baby kicked in her womb. What is the promise He has made to you? Have you responded to His promise? Do you have it in front of your eyes daily? Can you see salvation in the outcome you imagine, even before the breakthrough comes? “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” (Luke 1:45, NIV)

An Impossible Situation (Untangled From Doubt) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

For nothing will be impossible with God. – Luke 1:37 ESV Has your heart ever been tangled up in doubt and unbelief? You want to stay in faith, but you just can’t seem to marry up the hours of praying and declaring with the results you are seeing in the flesh? When you find yourself without a job and you just don’t have enough money to make it to the end of the month. When you are sitting in the doctor’s office and receive the diagnosis with the caveat that there is no cure. When you get a phone call telling you your teenager who you have been praying for has been arrested for another DUI. Have you found yourself shouting at God in sheer frustration: “You said nothing is impossible, Father! What is going on here? Where is the breakthrough we have been praying for?” It was in a moment of frustration that I cried out to God. I got out my Amplified Classic Edition and pointed to Luke 1:37 saying: “Look, Father! You said nothing is impossible for you. Why are we not seeing breakthrough in this situation?“ The Holy Spirit gently nudged me to look at the second part of this verse: “…for no word from God is ever without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Revelation flooded my heart in that instant. The answer I was looking for was contained within these words. I began studying it closer and discovered three keys that untangled me from doubt. Over the next few days, I will share these keys with you.

What Does The Resurrection Mean? (He is Risen) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From He Is Risen! The Reality of the Resurrection by Daniel Kolenda And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. – 1 Corinthians 15:14-20 NIV In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul, himself a witness of the resurrected Christ, imagined the implications of a reality in which Jesus has not risen. It’s a chilling passage that paints a picture of a bleak and hopeless world. He said that if Jesus is still dead, preaching and faith are useless, the disciples are false witnesses, we are all still in our sins, the dead are gone forever, and those who believe are the most pitiful of all people. But then, in Verse 20, Paul changed the tone with this amazing declaration that makes all the difference: “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead” (NIV). Early Christians would greet one another with Paul’s words! In place of “hello,” a believer would say, “Christ is risen,” and the other would respond, “He is risen indeed!” Jesus Christ did rise from the grave! He is risen indeed! The resurrection was God’s supernatural vindication of what Jesus did for us. It means Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be—the Son of God, sent into the world so we could have forgiveness, full and free. The resurrection means God accepted Jesus’ death in our place on the cross. It means Jesus was ultimately victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave. Because death couldn’t hold Him, because sin has no power over Him, and because Jesus is alive, we have great hope in Him! The Bible says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). That hope is “an anchor of the soul” (Hebrews 6:19).
