Devotional-Immanuel God With Us 4:24

Play Pause

2d ago4:24

4:24

The name that changes everything isn’t complicated. Immanuel tells the truth about God’s heart: He moves toward us, not away, and He chooses closeness over spectacle.

Ready to rethink Christmas beyond the soft glow of the nativity scene?

He is-The Character of God: He is Wonderful Counselor 26:20

He is-The Character of God: The Savior to Savor 31:48

28d ago31:48

31:48

The word Savior can feel familiar enough to skim past, especially in a season crowded with lists, sales, and year-end hurry. We slow down to ask what Luke 2:11 actually promised to people who had waited four centuries for God to speak and lived under the weight of empire. Many longed for a military hero. God answered with a child. That surprising a…

Devotional-The Seal of Your Father's Pleasure 5:27

2M ago5:27

5:27

Ever long to hear, “I’m proud of you?” God’s words over us bring the ultimate affirmation. In Mark 1:11, He said to Jesus, “You are my Son, whom I love, and with you I am well pleased.” If Jesus needed these words, how much more do we? Through God’s adoption of us (Ephesians 1:5-14) and the sealing of the Holy Spirit, we are already beloved. Receiv…

He is-The Character of God: He is the Abundant Shepherd 27:16

27:16

Scarcity tells a loud story—work harder, hold tighter, go faster. We push, we pour out, and end up empty. But there’s a better story. In this episode, we slow down and rediscover God as our Shepherd—the One who guides, provides, protects, and comforts. From Psalm 23 to John 10 and Revelation 7, we trace how true abundance flows not from striving, b…
