The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 78 September 1, 2026 Psalm 118 This devotional explores Psalm 118 as a profound prophecy concerning the ministry, suffering, and ultimate victory of Jesus Christ. The preacher highlights how the psalmist's distress and deliverance prefigure Christ's rejection by men and His triumph over death through resurrection. Central to the message is the identification of Jesus as the cornerstone rejected by builders but exalted by God for the salvation of believers. The sermon emphasizes that trusting in the Lord rather than human authority provides true refuge and strength against opposition. Ultimately, the text calls listeners to rejoice in the day of salvation wrought through Christ's steadfast love and sacrificial work.

Three Pastors examine the severe and escalating persecution of Christians globally, with a specific focus on lethal violence in Sub-Saharan Africa driven by Islamist extremism and resource conflicts. They analyze how religious ideology often serves as a mask for deeper human depravity and political power struggles, while also noting that anti-Christian laws are expanding in various nations. They critique the inefficiency of international aid efforts and the legal barriers preventing direct intervention by Western citizens. Despite these geopolitical challenges, the conversation emphasizes that Christianity historically thrives under pressure, urging believers to remain spiritually vigilant. The guys conclude by challenging listeners to reflect on their own willingness to endure suffering for the gospel and to actively fulfill the Great Commission.
