Daily (Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays) less than 5 minute Bible devotional to help get your day started right. Practical topics that will help grow and strengthen your walk with Jesus.
Mark 1:29-34, we see Jesus entering the house of Simon, and finding our his mother in law is sick in bed. Jesus heals her sickness, and immediately she serves them. Later, all the town brings those that are sick and demon possessed to Jesus for healing. It may be your prayer that brings healing to your loved one. Who do you need to pray for today?
People were amazed at the teaching of Jesus, the authority of Jesus & the power of Jesus. Jesus did and said things they'd never heard before. What if we followed in His footsteps and did things that people today had never seen or heard?
Jesus heals a demon possessed man in Mark 1:23-26, Yet, we can learn more about Jesus through His interaction with the demon possessing this man. Is belief enough? Well, even the devils believe, and look where it got them.
Jesus entered the synagogue and taught as one who had authority is what we read in Mark 1:21-22z and the people were astonished because He taught better than the scribes the people were used to. Why is that? Because Jesus knew the Scriptures and knew the message God had given Him. We need to follow the leading of God when we tell others about Jesus. If God calls you to share your faith with someone, then God will give you the words to say. Your part is to be obedient.
The verses we look at in this episode all have one thing in common- your obedience matters. God wants your obedience. God wants you to trust Him.
Could it be that we have our focus on the wrong thing? Jesus calls His first disciples and told them He'd make them fishers of men. Fishing they understood. Jesus didn't use bait, He simply called people to repentance. Our focus must shift from using “bait” to call people to Christ, and use the Gospel to call people to repentance. When Peter and the disciples went fishing in John 21, they caught nothing. When they followed Jesus' instructions, they caught so much that their nets began to break. Maybe we need to follow Jesus' calling to repent and believe.
During trials, actually at all times, we need to keep our focus on Jesus.
In this episode, we explore the deep wisdom of Psalm 141:3–5—a heartfelt prayer from David seeking God's help to guard his mouth, resist wickedness, and remain open to correction from the righteous. Join us as we unpack the beauty and challenge of living with integrity in a world full of distractions and temptations. Whether you're seeking spiritual encouragement or practical insight on walking faithfully, this meditation offers both a warning and a hope: that discipline, spoken in love, is a gift—and that true strength is found in surrendering our words and will to God.
In today's episode, we pause with David in the quiet of Psalm 141:1–2, where he pleads, “O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” This is more than a cry for help—it's a posture of surrender, reverence, and trust. Together, we'll reflect on what it means to let our prayers rise like incense, especially in the moments when words feel few and the heart feels heavy. You're invited to slow down, breathe deep, and let this ancient song shape your evening offering to God.
In this episode, we explore Jesus' final words before His ascension—words that still echo in the hearts of believers today. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to the empowering promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8, we unpack how Christ sends His followers into the world with purpose and power. We also reflect on the angelic reminder in Acts 1:11 that He will return just as He left, and the personal call in John 21:20–22 to follow Jesus faithfully, without distraction or comparison. Join us as we dive into these pivotal scriptures and consider what it means to be a faithful witness in our time.
Why is it that even after choosing to follow Jesus, we still struggle with sin? Why do we fall into the same patterns, even when our hearts long to live differently? In this episode, we talk about the inner battle every Christian faces — the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, guilt and grace, striving and surrender. We'll explore what Scripture says about this fight, how to navigate it without giving in to shame, and why God's love doesn't depend on our perfection. If you've ever felt like you're failing God or wondered why holiness feels so hard, this conversation is for you.
In a world filled with distractions, pressures, and shifting values, how do we stay grounded in our faith in Jesus Christ? In this episode, we dive deep into Romans 8, one of the most powerful and hope-filled chapters in Scripture, to explore what it means to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, challenged by the world around you, or simply looking to deepen your walk with God, this episode will offer biblical insight and encouragement to help you live with confidence and purpose.
Shame called. Guilt texted. Condemnation knocked. But guess what? You don't live there anymore. In this episode, we unpack the freedom bomb dropped in Romans 8:1—“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That's not a cute suggestion. It's a kingdom fact. If you've been dragging around spiritual baggage Jesus already paid to check, it's time to let it go. Walk in grace, drop the guilt trip, and stop giving the enemy a seat at a table he wasn't invited to.
You've got gifts—divinely wrapped and Spirit-delivered—and no, sitting on them isn't an option. In this episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12:7-18 and call out the holy hesitation that keeps too many believers spiritually stagnant. From wisdom to healing to speaking in tongues (yes, we're going there), it's time to stop acting like you're giftless. Every part of the body matters, and spoiler alert: that includes you. Tune in, get uncomfortable, and let's stop ghosting the Holy Ghost.
In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Paul's unexpected call to Macedonia—a reminder that divine redirection often follows human rejection. Join us as we reflect on how God's purpose prevails, even when the world says “no.”
Many of us need to learn how to let go. Let go of the things that cause us to worry. Worry is not something God wants us to carry. Today, we will learn how to let go of our worries, and embrace the peace that only God can give.
With all that is going on in our country right now, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Heaven has immigration rules. What are they? Let's look.
Acts 2:41-47, here we get a glimpse of the early church. We need to be more like this, and less like the church is now.
After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up.
God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.
God wants to give you a sound mind. A mind that is at peace with God, a mind that is focused on Him, and not the world. Are you ready to receive that mind today?
Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn't have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don't associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.
God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.
2 Timothy 4:7, Paul is teaching that God did not give us fear. Fear paralyzes our faith and renders us useless to God.
We are looking at 1 Thessalonians 4:7 and seeing what God has called us to, and what He has called us to abstain from.
There have been posts on social media lately that has caused me to scratch my head and say “huh?” One recently was someone posted that we need to read Ephesians 5:14, this verse proves that the Bible is “woke.” Friends, this kind of false teaching is all over our world today. We must make sure we walk right in this world, we need to awaken from our sleep and pull our heads out of the sand. By the way, Ephesians 5:14 is calling us to awaken out of our sleep and start living in the light of God.
Your faith is either proven or disproven by the works you do. Faith and works go together. Your works prove your faith. Your faith prove your works.
Today, we are going to look at a trial example. Trials are a part of life, and I will review what a trial is. I will also look at a real life example of someone who gone through a trial, and how they handled it.
Today, we are looking at a real life example of temptation. David and Bathsheba. Be sure to listen and see how David got carried away into sin, and find out what the consequences of that sin was.
Today we are looking at trials. You know, those things of life that none of us wants. In James 1, we are told how we should respond to those times of trials. When your faith gets tested, how do you respond?
Adam & Eve failed theirs. Jesus passed His. Today, we look at temptations. Find out where temptations come from and what makes them tick, but also where Adam and Eve fell short. Tune in and learn how to watch out for temptations.
What does it mean to be set apart in a modern world, that is my topic for today. We live in a world where everyone is encouraged to do what they please, not matter the consequences. The Bible paints a different picture. One where God desires us to be holy, to be set apart, not following the things the world chases after. This episode will challenge your way of living in our modern world.
We are told throughout Scripture the importance of prayer. We taught how to pray and how not to pray. But, the question I want to pose to you today is: Do you expect anything out of prayer. In Acts 12, we read about Peter being thrown in prison, and the church praying consistently for him. When Peter shows up at the door, the people praying for him first don't believe it's actually him, then are astonished at the sight. Listen to this episode, and take time to look at your prayer life and prayer habits, and start praying the way Jesus would want us to pray-expectantly.
Todays episode teaches us what True Revival is. I will give you a hint-true revival runs on the timetable of God, not mans timetable. We will discuss the definition of revival and look at some examples of revival in the Bible.
Sometimes we get a little cold. I don't mean cold as in a lack of heat. I mean cold as in our faith grows cold. When that happens, it usually means that there is something (sin) blocking our relationship with Jesus. In this episode, we look at what it means to be revived and what is essential to being revived.
What is your affection set on? Seriously, what has your focus day in and day out? Bills? Vacation? Work? If you answer anything but Jesus, then your focus and affection is on the wrong things. If you want to build a rock solid faith in Jesus that will stand strong in whatever life throws at you, then you must keep your eyes fixed on Him. Are you ready to do that?
In order to build a rock solid faith in Jesus, you must first understand that you are a sinner in need of a Savior, and that Savior is Jesus. Confess your sins and believe in Him, and His sacrifice for your sins. That's the only way to build your faith in Him
Another step to developing a rock solid faith in Jesus is to understand that it will not happen overnight. We must overcome sin, and we must understand that to sin is a choice. What are you going to choose today?
there are things in life that causes us to be faithless, that hinder the building of our faith. Today, I give you two things that i believe hinder our faith and keep it from growing.
Jesus told Thomas to be not faithless. Today, I am teaching on what being faithless means, and how to avoid being faithless.
Luke 24:1-12. At the dawn of Resurrection Day, Jesus' disciples had no faith. Upon hearing the news of the resurrected Jesus, the disciples didn't believe it. Faithlessness is a problem for all of us.
What do you see when you look into the empty tomb? A former Pastor of mine asked that on Facebook the other day. It got me to thinking. In this episode, I give you 4 things that I see when I look into the empty tomb. What do you see?
Mark 5:1-20, Jesus heals a man who was demon possessed. He tells the man that he can't come with Jesus, but instead, to go into his town and people and proclaim the great things that Jesus did for Him. Sometimes we put more importance on those who leave their home to proclaim the Gospel, but we still need those who are willing to go into their towns, workplaces, homes and school to tell others what Jesus has done for them.
Today, we are studying selected passages from Mark 15 about Good Friday. The day that Jesus was crucified for your sins and mine. We are specifically looking at the mocking He endured for us. Thank you, Jesus!
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, people praised Him because of the miracles and works He had done. They were offering praise to Him. Jesus has done miracles and works in your life as well, when was the last time you praised Him?
As we continue studying the Triumphal Entry of Jesus, better known as Palm Sunday, I present a question for you to ponder, What message are you telling the world? Just like the people that lined the streets of Jerusalem and put palm branches and clothes down to make the way for Jesus, we need to make the way for Jesus as well. Throughout Scripture, Repent was preached. We need to proclaim that people need to repent. What message are you giving?
Many of us are holding on to things that is hindering our relationship with the Lord. It is also hurting our praise. Today, we look at how dangerous it is for our faith to hold on to things we don't heed to hold on to.
A week before His crucifixion, multitudes lined the streets praising Him as He passed by, it's what we call Palm Sunday. When was the last time you raised your palms in praise to Jesus?
In today's episode, we continue the series The Calling of God, Moses got God angry because he focused on what he couldn't do, instead of what God can do.
Moses first asks, Who am I? Then Who are you? Today, he asks what f they don't believe me? A legitimate question. We must realize the important thing is our obedience to God and His calling on your life.
First, Moses asked “Who am I?” Now, Moses asks, “Who are you? If we are going to proclaim Jesus to a lost and hurting world, we must make sure we know Him. Do you know Him today? That's what we are talking about in todays episode.
