Tune in, Monday-Friday for a short devotion as you start your day. We'll be covering a number of topics and get into what Scripture says about how we should live our lives.
Betrayal is hard for everyone, and almost always comes as a surprise. Imagine how hard it would be to know that it is coming and where it's coming from.
Is it possible to be angry and still be righteous? Jesus was a staunch defender of His Father and wasn't afraid to correct inappropriate behavior. He could also get angry.
How quickly can cheers turn to anger? What would make people go from "Hosanna" to "Crucify?"
Once we are FOLLOWING Christ and CHANGED by Christ, what's next? What do we do with this change of heart that we have been given?
Once we are really following after Christ, what's the natural next step? How do we allow Christ to affect every aspect of our lives directly?
When we follow someone on a road trip, we have to make sure we stay close to them in order to not lose them in traffic. If following Christ like that? How do we follow Him closely
We hear the word "Disciple" talked about a lot in the Church, but what is it? What makes a disciple? Should I be a disciple?
What happens when we stop trying to get "ours" and start acting like Christ? Can we put aside our selfishness and truly show mercy?
How do we deal with suffering? Do we just sit where we are and quit, or do we see the possibilities beyond that?
If we truly believe that God's mercy and grace are for everyone, then shouldn't we celebrate that? Or do we, instead, find ourselves angry when those we don't think deserve it receive that same reward?
What happens when God calls you very specifically to take on a task, and you ignore Him? Are you ready to deal with the consequences of that decision?
Life can be really hard. Thankfully, we have a God who grants us mercy in our darkest moments. He reaches down with compassion to give us hope.
Can Things really go too far? Can they go so far away from God that He wipes His hands of them? Is there redemption?
Water represents so many things in our lives. It also represents so many things in the Bible. How does God show us his justice and abhorrence for sin through water?If you'd like to learn more about Leesburg Christian Church, please go to leesburg.cc for everything you need to know.

What happens when God has had enough? Is it possible that a city could be so vile that God has no other choice than to destroy it?
Fasting is more than just not eating. It's a spiritual discipline that has been practiced for thousands of years, and Jesus even did it. What is it, and should we be practicing it today? If you want to find out more about fasting, go to leesburg.cc/fast
How is putting money in the offering a spiritual discipline? Does God NEED our money?
Does God just want us to give whatever is left over, or does He want us to go big?
We've all heard the statement, "God loves a cheerful giver." Are we cheerful when we give? Do we find joy in giving?
What exactly does the Bible say about giving? Why is it so important?
Unity is not as easy as it sounds. Today's culture is as divided as it's ever been. How does the Church stand unified when everything around us is in chaos?
We don't have to figure out life alone. We have a supernatural helper who leads, guides, and empowers us.
Christianity isn't a solo sport. We aren't meant to do it alone. We need others. When it comes to defeating the forces of evil, we must unite with other in our mission.
Service is a core value of our church, and it's a core value of the disciple. How can we go into a dark world and be of service to a world that sees things so differently than we do?
God wants us in 100%. What does that look like, and what's keeping us from getting there?
No matter how much you get, there's never enough power when that's your goal. Is this how a disciple should live? Should we desire power?
We are a society that has figured out how to avoid human interaction at almost every level. Is this how God designed us?
Sometimes, beauty doesn't come from where we think it does...neither does love.
What is the response of the disciple when we realize we've already won?
To love God the way that He wants us to isn't really what we typically think it is. It's not about lavish worship services or deep study. It's actually something much more simple.
Philippians 2:3-4 shows us the best example of what the heart of a disciple should look like. How much could the Church look different to the world if we learned to be more selfless?
Sometimes, we just need to stop and be thankful. Unfortunately, we let ourselves get too busy with life to really soak in God's goodness.
Most times, we don't like to rock the boat. We don't want to be a pain in the keister to anyone. However, the Bible does call us to something more. Is it possible that tension can be a good thing?
What happens when we begin worshipping something soulless, lifeless, and that could care less about you? We become exactly the same. Most don't see greed as worship, but that's what it is...the worship of possessions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leesburg-daily/message

Whenever we think of hell, we think of pitchforks and the devil with his pointy horns. We think of fiery lakes and burning sulfur. What if hell's truest punishment isn't what we think it is? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leesburg-daily/message
