MINISTRY MOMENT

Reflect on a time when you were faithful in a seemingly small task or responsibility. How did this act of faithfulness impact your life? Did you experience unexpected blessings or opportunities as a result

PRAYER POINT

"Lord, help me to cultivate a heart of faithfulness. Grant me the strength to be diligent in my daily tasks, no matter how mundane they may seem. I pray for the grace to honor my commitments and steward my time, talents, and resources wisely. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

GOING DEEPER

GOING DEEPER Read and study Hebrews 11:1, and reflect on the following: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is the foundation of faithfulness. By trusting in God's promises, we can be faithful in our daily lives, even when we can't see the immediate benefits. Read and study Proverbs 3:5-6, and reflect on the following: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." This verse encourages us to trust in God's guidance and to seek His wisdom in all our decisions. By trusting in Him, we can be more faithful in carrying out His will. Read and study Matthew 6:33, and reflect on the following: "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." When we prioritize God's kingdom and righteousness, we are demonstrating our faithfulness to Him. In return, He promises to provide for our needs.

WALK IT OUT

Identify one area of your life where you can improve your faithfulness. This could be a specific task, a relationship, or a Biblical practice. Set a specific, measurable goal related to this area. For example, if you want to be more faithful in your prayer life, you could set a goal to pray for 15 minutes each day. Create a plan to achieve your goal. Break down your goal into smaller steps and set a timeline for completing each step.

SHARE WITH OTHERS

Share this devotional with a friend or family member who could benefit from its message. Encourage them to reflect on their own faithfulness and to seek ways to grow in this area. You could also discuss the devotional together and share your thoughts and insights.

Ep. 424 - Waiting to Open the Gift

December 26, 2024 • Matthew 7:11, Hebrews 11:6, Romans 8:25

MINISTRY MOMENT Have you found it difficult in the past to wait for something patiently? Are you in a season right now where you are struggling to wait for a gift, dream, or promise? PRAYER POINT "Father, thank You that YOU have an amazing plan and purpose for my life. I recognize that You are the one and only perfect gift-giver. You give us blessings in Your perfect time and way. Help me to trust You and wait patiently. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen!" GOING DEEPER Read and study Matthew 7:11, Hebrews 11:6, and Romans 8:25. WALK IT OUT The truth is that we won’t have to wait long for new opportunities that will help stretch our patience. The next time you find yourself struggling to wait patiently, bring those burdens to the Lord in prayer and worship. SHARE WITH OTHERS As much as we each struggle with patience at times, we can know that our friends and family will also struggle in this area. Look for ways to encourage those around you with the Biblical approach to waiting patiently.

Ep. 423 - The Greatest Gift

December 25, 2024 • Romans 8:25, Matthew 7:11, Hebrews 11:6

MINISTRY MOMENT Do I fully believe that my life is a gift and offering that God both desires and deserves? If you feel inferior, insignificant, or unworthy, be reminded that Jesus came at Christmas to live the life that would be given for YOU. PRAYER POINT "Father, thank You for the gift of Jesus. Thank You for the gift of life and new life in Christ. Thank You for the grace to give myself more fully to God’s plans and purposes for my life. You are worthy of all I am and all I have. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen." GOING DEEPER Read and study Romans Chapter 6. WALK IT OUT Decide or rededicate yourself today to give your life to the Lord, not just as a one time salvation decision, but as an ongoing way to give back to God for all He has given you through Christ. SHARE WITH OTHERS Consider encouraging someone that the God of the whole universe eagerly desires a personal relationship with them.
