(Romans 8:38-39 NKJV)

We all carry past hurts, regrets, shame, and offenses—sometimes ones we replay over and over in our minds. In our daily prayer and devotional, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering Podcast, vividly recounts a gathering of teenage girls invited to lay down their pains on a cross and symbolically cross them out, illustrating what forgiveness looks like in radical form. God doesn’t just pardon our sins; He erases them, choosing not to keep a record of our offenses. As long as we confess and repent, He separates our wrongdoing from us, remembering them no more. But God’s mercy is not just for our own restored relationship with Him—it’s meant to shape how we treat others. We are called to forgive as He forgave us (Colossians 3:13). Forgiving doesn’t always mean forgetting in the sense of erasing memories. It means removing the debt, letting go of grievances, refusing to hold someone’s past mistakes against them. Liberation comes when we choose grace over bitterness, extending to others what God has extended to us. Bible Reading “As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”— Psalm 103:10–12 Key Takeaways God’s forgiveness is complete: He removes our transgressions and doesn’t retain them. Forgiveness is a deliberate choice—not forgetting, but no longer holding a debt against another. Our freedom in Christ empowers us to forgive those who have wronged us. Keeping no record of wrongs allows relationships to be renewed and hearts to be healed. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for pardoning me and erasing my sins. Help me accept Your mercy fully and extend that same grace to others. Show me where I hold grudges or keep score of offenses. Give me strength to forgive, to release the record, and to love as You have loved me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Fear can feel overpowering—especially when circumstances press in, when we live in places that feel unsafe, or when anxiety has had time to settle in. But, as we reflect in our daily prayer and devotional, Scripture doesn’t leave us defenseless. In this devotional, Vivian Bricker reminds us that God is with us even when fear seems to surround us. Though we often don’t see His hand at work, God is always moving behind the scenes—striking down evil, guarding us, and providing strength. Even when fear grips our hearts, we can choose to turn to Him, surrender our anxieties at His feet, and let His peace guard our minds (Philippians 4:6–7). Moses’ charge to Israel in Deuteronomy 31:6 still rings for us today: “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God goes with you.” We don’t face life’s dangers alone. He never leaves us. With this promise, our fear can be met with courage rooted not in our own power, but in the faithful presence of God. Today's Bible Reading: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”— Deuteronomy 31:6 Key Takeaways God is always present—even in the darkest moments—and never abandons us. Fear doesn’t need to control us; we can bring it to God in prayer. True courage comes from trusting that God is greater than our threats. The promise in Scripture is not that trouble won’t come, but that we won’t face it alone. Let’s Pray Together Dear God, fear surrounds me and uncertainty abounds. Thank You that You are here with me. Please strengthen my heart to be strong and courageous. Remind me that You will never leave me or forsake me. Help me surrender my fear to You and cling to Your steadfast love and protection. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Related Articles When God Seems Silent—How to Pray When Fear Seizes You – Crosswalk.com Why Do I Still Feel Fear?

Welcome to episode #241!

When the seasons shift—especially from the vibrancy of summer to the stillness of fall—it can remind us of life’s own changes: loss, renewal, and waiting. In our daily prayer and devotional, Alicia Searl beautifully points us back to a truth we can depend on no matter what season we’re in: God is always faithful. We often wrestle with questions like, “What does it mean that God is faithful?” or “Am I faithful enough to Him?” But Scripture makes it clear that God’s faithfulness is not dependent on our performance—it’s rooted in His perfect, unchanging character. From Genesis to Revelation, His Word reveals that He never leaves, never breaks His promises, and never wavers in His love for His people. When life feels uncertain, we can look back at the way God has carried His people—Israel delivered from Egypt, the fulfillment of His promises through Jesus, and His ongoing presence through the Holy Spirit. His faithfulness extends from generation to generation (Psalm 100:5). Just as He sustained His people in the past, He will sustain us now. Fall invites us to slow down and reflect—to notice God’s fingerprints in both the falling leaves and the steadfast truth that He never changes. In this season, may we find comfort in His promises and gratitude for His unwavering faithfulness. Today's Bible Reading "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." – Deuteronomy 7:9 Key Takeaways God’s faithfulness is a cornerstone of His character—He cannot be anything but faithful. His covenant love continues through generations, no matter our changing circumstances. Remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens our trust in His future promises. Every season, including the difficult ones, is a reminder of His unbroken presence and care. Let’s Pray Together O God, thank You for being faithful in every season. When my heart grows weary or doubts arise, remind me of Your steadfast love and promises. Help me to see Your hand at work, even when I can’t understand the path ahead. Reveal Your faithfulness to me in new ways this fall, and teach me to rest in the peace of knowing that You never fail. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

WEEK 4 | READY LEADERSHIP FORMATIONFight Ready: A Study in 1 Timothy | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn this week's message from 1 Timothy 3:1–16, Pastor Craig explores God's perfect design for church leadership. Paul's letter to Timothy lays out two distinct roles—elders who lead like Christ and deacons who serve like Christ. These roles are not about status or skill but about godly character and humble obedience to God's Word.Through this passage, we learn that the church is called to be a pillar and foundation of truth, standing firm against compromise by raising up leaders who reflect Jesus in how they lead, teach, and serve.Key Takeaways:God's design for leadership is rooted in character and submission to His will.Elders shepherd the church through teaching, prayer, and spiritual oversight.Deacons meet practical needs, protect unity, and release pastors to pastor.The church must pray for, encourage, and follow its leaders as they follow Christ.Healthy leadership strengthens the whole body and magnifies the gospel.Related Scriptures:1 Timothy 3:1–16Acts 6:1–7Titus 1:5–9Hebrews 13:7, 17This message reminds us that when leaders lead like Christ and the church follows with humility and grace, the truth of Jesus shines through the world.Need prayer?

Nighttime can stir up unease. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, when the world quiets down, our minds can fill with fears and worries that daylight had kept at bay. In Psalm 91, the writer paints a vivid picture of God’s protective care—His wings stretched wide, sheltering His children in a place of warmth and safety. It’s a comforting image for anyone who lies awake, anxious about what might come. Amanda Idleman reminds us that we can rest securely beneath those wings. God’s faithfulness is not fragile or fleeting; it’s our shield and rampart, our steady defense when darkness falls. His promise is clear—He sends His angels to guard us, He hears our cries for help, and He delivers us from fear and danger. Amanda shares from her own story of witnessing God’s protection and redemption in her family’s life. Through foster care and adoption, she has seen how God covers His children—restoring what was broken, protecting the vulnerable, and bringing light into the darkest places. That same care and covering are available to all who call on His name. When the night feels heavy, and fears start to whisper, remember that God’s light is greater than any darkness. He never leaves, never sleeps, and never abandons His people. You are safe beneath His wings. Today's Bible Reading: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." – Psalm 91:4 Key Takeaways God’s protection is constant—He covers us with His wings and surrounds us with His angels (Psalm 91). His faithfulness is our shield and peace in the darkest hours. When we feel fear rise at night, we can declare His promises and rest in His presence. The same God who redeems broken stories guards your heart and home. Let’s Pray Together God, thank You for being my protector and refuge. When night falls and my thoughts turn anxious, remind me that I am safe under Your wings. Calm my heart and fill my home with Your peace. Let Your faithfulness be my shield, and Your angels stand guard around me and my loved ones. Thank You that darkness never has the final word—You are my light and salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Title: You Must Go ForwardSpeaker: Pastor Roland RocchiDate: 24th August 2025Location: Ballarat, Australia This episode traces God’s mighty deliverance of Israel from Egypt, beginning with His call to Moses at the burning bush.

The shift from summer to fall is bittersweet. Today's prayer and devotional remind us that as we say goodbye to long, sun-drenched days, we also receive the crisp winds, colorful leaves, and rich harvests that usher in a new season of God’s design. Scripture reminds us that the seasons are not random but intentional. God set them in motion for His purposes, each one accomplishing His will (Ecclesiastes 3:1, Psalm 104:19). Even when change feels unsettling, we can take comfort in knowing that God holds every season—and our hands as we walk through them (Isaiah 41:13). Fall reminds us that beauty often emerges in the midst of transition. Just as the leaves burst into brilliance before fading, we are reminded that God can bring purpose and radiance out of life’s changes. Your Daily Bible Reading: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." – Genesis 8:22 Key Takeaways God created the seasons to fulfill His purposes and remind us of His order and care. Fall’s beauty points us to the eternal light of Christ, our true source of life. Change can feel unsettling, but God lovingly holds our hand and steadies us. Every season carries lessons, blessings, and reminders of His faithfulness. Let’s Pray Together Dear Father, thank You for the beauty of fall and the reminder that You are in control of every season. Help me savor the changes with gratitude, holding fast to Your hand through every transition. May I see this season through Your eyes and trust Your will is being accomplished. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Take a quiet walk this week and notice how God’s glory is revealed in the changing leaves and crisp air. Write down a change in your life that feels difficult right now and pray for God’s perspective on its hidden beauty.

There are seasons in life when everything feels overwhelming — family struggles, financial pressures, illness, or work challenges. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, in those moments, even getting out of bed can feel like too much. But God never intended for us to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Instead, He invites us to lean on Him, to trust Him fully, and to remember His goodness. Lynette Kittle encourages us that when life feels unbearable, we can take intentional steps to anchor ourselves in God’s truth: remembering His past faithfulness, staying persistent in prayer, feeding our souls with Scripture, and reaching out to encourage others. These small but powerful practices help lift our eyes off the heaviness and fix them back on the One who carries us. God’s Word promises that He is our Savior, our hope, and our strength. Even when life seems too hard, He is with us, sustaining us moment by moment. Your Daily Bible Reading: "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God." – Psalm 43:5 Key Takeaways God never designed us to carry life’s burdens alone; He calls us to lean on Him. Remembering God’s past faithfulness builds hope for today. Prayer, even when it feels hard, keeps us connected to God’s strength. Scripture refreshes weary hearts with truth and perspective. Reaching out to others, even in our struggles, brings blessing and renewal. Let’s Pray Together Dear Father, thank You for being my Savior and my God. Although my body, mind, and heart feel weary, I choose to put my hope in You. Remind me of Your goodness and faithfulness. Strengthen me through prayer and Your Word, and help me to bless others even when I feel weak. Thank You that in You, I have hope and reason to praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Life can leave us feeling like victims of our circumstances—overwhelmed by grief, hardship, or unfair struggles. In today's prayer and devotional, Scripture calls us to shift our perspective: instead of asking “Why me, God?” we can ask “How can You use this, Lord?” Keri Eichberger shares the inspiring story of her friend Mark, who battled cancer with unshakable faith. Even in his hardest days, Mark chose to see himself not as a victim but as a vessel of God’s glory. His testimony reminds us that God can redeem our suffering for good and use our pain to point others to His strength and hope. When we lean not on our own understanding but on the Lord, our hardships become platforms for His faithfulness. Today, ask yourself: Am I living as a vessel of God’s light, or am I letting my circumstances define me as a victim? Today's Bible Reading: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 Key Takeaways God can use even the hardest circumstances to bless others and bring Him glory. Choosing to be a vessel shifts our mindset from despair to purpose. Trusting God with all our heart allows us to endure trials with peace and hope. Our legacy can inspire faith in those who watch how we live and suffer with trust in God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, You are the one I can hold tight to. Thank You that You use every valley, every hardship, and every tear for good. Help me choose to be a vessel of Your glory and not a victim of my circumstances. Fill me with Your peace and joy today, so that my story points others to Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Begin each day asking God to make you a vessel of His love and truth.

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? In our daily prayer and devotional, we consider that too often, our view of ourselves is clouded by shame, insecurity, and the critical voice in our own heads. We imagine God sees us the same way — through the lens of our failures and flaws. But Scripture tells us something very different. Through Jesus Christ, we are chosen, loved, redeemed, and clothed in righteousness. God doesn’t see us through condemnation but through the finished work of the cross. He calls us His children, His holy people, and His treasured possession. Keneesha Saunders-Liddie reminds us that learning to see ourselves through God’s eyes is life-changing. Instead of walking in guilt or striving for worth, we can rest in the truth that His love is unconditional and His gaze never wavers. To God, you are not a mistake, a burden, or too far gone. You are His. Today's Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” – 1 Peter 2:9 Key Takeaways God sees you through Christ’s finished work on the cross, not through your failures. You are chosen, loved, and secure in Him. Seeing yourself through God’s eyes motivates a life of holiness and confidence. His love is steadfast, unconditional, and never based on performance. Let’s Pray Together Abba Father, thank You for seeing me not through condemnation but through the sacrifice of Your Son. Help me to walk in confidence as Your chosen child, knowing that I am forgiven, loved, and secure in You. Teach me to view myself through Your eyes, living a holy life that reflects Your goodness. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Start your day by declaring aloud who God says you are (1 Peter 2:9). Replace negative self-talk with God’s truth from Scripture.

Title: How to be strong when you're notSpeaker: Pastor David SunderlandDate: 13th April 2025Location: Canberra, Australia In this episode, the speaker takes us through the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, exploring how God’s people found strength in the face of opposition, weariness, and failure. Drawing from the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, the message highlights how unity, humility, and reliance on God turn weakness into resilience.

Title: Two Things To Worry AboutSpeaker: Pastor John JoskeDate: June 2025Location: Gold Coast, Australia In this episode we unpack the clear choices God presents throughout scripture: blessing or curse, obedience or disobedience, life or death. Drawing from Deuteronomy, 1 Kings, and New Testament passages, the message encourages listeners to make a wholehearted commitment to follow God—without compromise or trying to live both ways. The talk highlights how many today, like in Elijah’s time, want the benefits of serving God while holding on to worldly choices. But Jesus made it clear—you can’t serve two masters. From the Garden of Eden to the church in Revelation, the pattern remains: God offers blessing to those who obey and cleave to Him. 3 Key Takeaways: God sets before us a simple but vital choice: life and blessing, or death and cursing. You cannot live with divided loyalty—serving both God and the world is not an option. Cleaving to God and obeying His word is the key to long-term spiritual blessing and direction.

“Unleashing the heart of the Father is a power the world does not know.”   Summary God wants us to know Him as a father.  We as parents are to prepare the hearts of our children to know the father by acting like him.  So when our children wonder what God is like, we should be able to say to them, “God loves you as I love you, but so much better”.  For us to do that, we need to know what God is like, so we can act as him.  In this podcast we break open the Word of God to share with you how God describes Himself in the Bible and how we can come to know Him better by reading what He has told us!     Key Takeaways God wants to “father” His people in the Old Testament Isaiah 64:8 Jeremiah 31:20 Deuteronomy 14:1 Jesus says he has come “from the Father”  that He is a son John 14 Matt 11:25 John 16:23  Jesus tells us that WE are sons and that God is Our Father too! Matthew 23:9 Matthew 6:6   1 John 3:1 Galatians 4:6 Luke 12:32 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 John 20:17 Why does this matter?  Because we are to be like Our Father.  We as parents are to act like him, imitate Him, take on His characteristics in flesh so our children can believe they have a heavenly Father who loves them, will always be there and never fail them.  Psalm 103:13 Matt7:10   Couple Discussion How does God want to be a father to us?  To our children?  Are there any obstacles to us calling God “Father”?  Take some time to pray into those this week.
