Everyone talks about love — but the Bible defines it differently. In this first session of Love Like God, we begin exploring 1 Corinthians 13 phrase by phrase starting with three powerful words: Love is patient. Patience is more than waiting calmly — it is choosing grace when irritation feels justified. This study will help you: • Understand God's love more deeply • Grow healthier relationships • Respond with Christlike patience For downloadable study guides and the complete series: https://www.livingthewordtoday.com/love To order Love Like God: https://t.co/C3mZNYVRcg #love #is #patient #bible #1corinthians13 #freestudy, #christian #relationships #biblicallove #patience #christianlife #LoveLikeGod

What do you do when your relationship with God feels right, but something still feels off? Jesus points us to a truth we often overlook: unresolved conflict with others can hinder our worship. In this Jump Start devotional, we continue the conversation on mending our messes by looking at Jesus' words in Matthew 5:23–24. We explore why confession to God is essential, but not always sufficient, and why reconciliation with others matters deeply to our spiritual walk.

Feeling spiritually stuck or discouraged after a misstep? In this Spiritual Jumpstart, we return to one of the most basic—and most powerful—truths of the Christian life: how to mend a mess-up when we've fallen short. Using 1 John 1:9, this message walks through God's road to recovery when sin disrupts our walk with Him. Rather than hiding, blaming, or minimizing our failures, Scripture invites us into a simple but life-giving process of restoration. In this teaching, you'll discover: • Why taking responsibility is the first step toward spiritual renewal • What it really means to confess—and why “telling on ourselves” matters • How God's faithfulness and justice guarantee forgiveness and cleansing • How confession resets our relationship with God and restores joy This message is a reminder that spiritual growth doesn't come from pretending we're perfect—it comes from honestly bringing our failures to a gracious and faithful God. If you need a reset, a fresh start, or a reminder of God's mercy, this short devotional is for you.

Begin and end your day with prayer 2. Redeem routine moments (commuting, chores, exercise) 3. Tie prayer to daily events and reminders 4. Pray for people when you think or talk about them These small, intentional steps can bring new joy, peace, and spiritual energy into your relationship with God

Start your New Year with a heart of wisdom. In this message from Psalm 90:12, we're reminded that our days are precious gifts from God—and that true wisdom comes when we learn to “number our days” and live with intention, gratitude, and purpose.

So teach us to number our days … In this devotional you'll discover: • What it really means to “number your days” • Why awareness of time leads to wiser living • How to align your heart with God's will in the year ahead • A simple prayer you can make your own today If this encourages you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe for more biblical teaching and practical devotionals. #NewYear #Psalm9012 #Devotional #ChristianLife #Wisdom #BibleTeaching

What if the greatest Christmas gift was sitting right in front of you… unopened? In this heartfelt Christmas message pastor Jesse Waggoner shares a true family story—a living room filled with warmth, laughter, children, and presents under a glowing Christmas tree. As the night winds down, one mysterious gift remains. No one knows who it belongs to. That moment becomes a powerful picture of a much deeper truth. Christmas is about a gift God has already given—a gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Yet, like that final present under the tree, it's possible to leave God's gift unopened. Through Scripture from Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8, this message explains: • Why we need a Savior • What God's gift truly is • How salvation is received—not earned • And how simple faith opens the greatest gift of all If you've ever wondered what it means to believe, to receive God's grace, or to take a step of faith, this message is for you. And if you already believe, it's a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the gift we celebrate at Christmas. Don't leave the gift unopened. Merry Christmas, and may God bless you as you celebrate Jesus—the Savior of the world.

If you've ever wrestled with worry, fear, or overwhelming anxious thoughts, this message is for you. In this video, we look directly into God's Word to discover the Bible's simple—yet powerful—two-step cure for anxiety: pray and give thanks. Drawing from Philippians 4:6–7, we explore how prayer shifts the burden from our hands to God's, how thanksgiving reconnects us to His goodness, and how surrender leads to a peace that “surpasses all understanding.” You'll learn: Why anxiety often grows from our desire to control How prayer recenters your heart on God rather than fear How gratitude strengthens faith for today Why God promises peace when we bring our requests to Him How He guards both our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus Whether you're facing a heavy season or simply need a reminder of God's care, this teaching will encourage you to rest in the peace only He can provide.

In this short devotional, we reflect on Jesus' words in Mark 9:41—that even giving a cup of cold water in His name will not go unrewarded.
