Living Out The Great Commission
on February 6th, 2025
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:18-20 Over the next couple of days, we are ... Read More

The Danger Of Being Full Of Yourself
on February 5th, 2025
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. (Philippians 2:3) As sinful human beings, it is easy for us to be full of ourselves. In fact, I would venture to say that most people at some point or another struggle with a narcissistic attitude where they think they are too good, too busy, or too important to be involved in connecting with pe...

Why Support Israel?
on February 4th, 2025
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.” – Psalm 122:6 As believers, we need to be linked with the nation of Israel. We need to support them. We need to pray for them because God’s Word instructs us to do so. But why is that the case? That’s the exact question we’re going to be answering over the next couple of days. In this devotion, we’re going to look at three reaso... Read More

A Faith That Draws or Drives
on February 3rd, 2025
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5Stephen’s story teaches us that we have a faith that draws men to God—or drives them against us. Acts 6:8 says Stephen, “a man full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.” Yet, despite his faithfulness, opposition arose. When the Sanhedrin heard his defense, “they were furious... Read More

A Faith Rooted in Fact
on February 2nd, 2025
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105As Christians, our faith is rooted in fact, not just feeling. Stephen’s defense before the Sanhedrin powerfully demonstrates this truth. When asked if the accusations against him were true, Stephen did not respond with emotion or opinions. Instead, he said, “Let me tell you the facts.” He recounted God’s faithfulness throughou... Read More

3 Keys To A Heavenly Perspective
on February 1st, 2025
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. (Proverbs 19:21) If we want to live this life on earth well, we need to do so with a heavenly perspective at the forefront of our minds. This world is not our home, and one day we will begin our eternity in heaven with Jesus. Therefore while we are still here on this planet, I believe there are three attit... Read More

Listening Instead Of Talking
on January 31st, 2025
The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him. – Acts 11:1-2 Conflict is an inevitable and unavoidable part of life. There is no way you are going to live on this planet and not face conflict. It’s just not possible. But believe it or not, there is actually a p... Read More

Giving and Serving
on January 30th, 2025
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. (2 Corinthians 5:14) I love the story of Hudson Taylor when he was interviewing possible candidates for missionary work. During the interview process, he asked each of these young people, “Why do you want to become a missionary?” One of them answered, “I just want to be a missionary because the... Read More

Focus On The Word
on January 29th, 2025
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. – Psalm 119:105 Yesterday, we talked about feeling stuck. It’s tough to find yourself in a situation where nothing seems to be changing. You’re not moving forward or backward. You just can’t seem to make any progress and you don’t know what to do! As we said yesterday, our Savior, Jesus Christ, is always with us, and He promises to help us w... Read More

Dealing With Doubt
on January 28th, 2025
“If you can, will you heal him?” Jesus says, “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:23-24) Yesterday, we talked about what it looks like to pray in faith. Praying big prayers can be scary, especially when what you’re asking for seems impossible. But we serve a big God ... Read More

Gratitude Is A Defense Against Anxiety
on January 27th, 2025
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7Anxiety is a common struggle, but God has given us a powerful tool to combat it: gratitude. You cannot be grateful and anxious at the sam... Read More

Gratitude Is The Gateway To Contentment
on January 26th, 2025
I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. – Philippians 4:12If you are having a difficult time being content, and all you can see are the negative things in your life, you need a double shot of gratitude. Paul wrote these words while in prison, showing that contentment is not about what we have but about ... Read More
