by Nate Fulk on April 23rd, 2024
1 Kings 8:6, 10-13 (NLT)6 Then the priests carried the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant into the inner sanctuary of the Temple—the Most Holy Place—and placed it beneath the wings of the cherubim.10 When the priests came out of the Holy Place, a thick cloud filled the Temple of the Lord. 11 The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the Lord filled the...

Complete Surrender
by Chris Johnson on April 19th, 2024
Matthew 16:21-27 (NLT)21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.22 But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying ... Read More

Called to Serve
by Kara Stephens on April 17th, 2024

Christ Crucified
by Jill Allen on April 15th, 2024
1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (NLT)18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 19 As the Scriptures say,“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.”20 So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the... Read More

A Shield Around Me
by Kara Stephens on April 10th, 2024
Psalm 3 (NLT)
1 O Lord, I have so many enemies;
so many are against me.
2 So many are saying,
“God will never rescue him!”3 But you, O Lord, are a shield around me;
you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.
4 I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy mountain.5 I lay down and slept,
yet I woke up in safety,
for the Lord was watching over me.

God is Sovereign
by Chris Johnson on April 9th, 2024

The Lord scoffs at them.5 Then in anger he rebukes them,... Read More

The Bride of Christ
by Jennifer Sosniak on April 5th, 2024

In today’s devotion, we are going to look at how God responds to the heartfelt sinner’s prayer, and how His work on the cross allows us to experience forgiveness.
