  • Saturday Daily Affirmations: I Trust God Was at Work Even When I Didn't Notice (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

    Saturday is a good day to slow down and look back over your week with God. Not to replay everything or overthink it, but to notice where He met you, where He carried you, and where His grace showed up. These Scripture-based Christian affirmations are a gentle way to reflect with honesty and gratitude before the new week begins.

    I'll say each affirmation, pause so you can repeat it after me, and then

    read the Bible verse it comes from.

  • How Do You Know If a Word Is Really From God? (Acts 16:16-18): Hearing God

    Confidence in Hearing God:

    Something can be accurate and still not be from God. That's the hardest

    part of discernment, and it's what we're working through today.

    This week we've been talking about prophecy, and a question came in about

    something I said on Monday: that accuracy is not the test. Today I explain what I meant, using the slave girl in Acts 16 who said something completely true while serving something demonic. I also share what happened in Maui with a tarot card reader, and something the Lord did at church on Sunday that I haven't talked about yet.

    Questions we answer today

    What's the difference between something being true and something being

    truth?
    Why does Paul cast a spirit out of a girl who was telling people the truth?
    Why are tarot cards, psychics, and horoscopes a counterfeit rather than
    harmless?
    What does it mean that the enemy disguises himself as an angel of light?
    What's the difference between a private prayer language and a public message in
    tongues?

  • Does God Owe You Anything? (Luke 4:16-30) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

    Hearing God in Luke:

    Within six verses of saying Scripture had been fulfilled in their

    hearing, Jesus' hometown was dragging Him toward a cliff. What set them off is worth understanding.

    Today we're in Luke 4:16-30. Jesus announces the year of the Lord's

    favor, which was Jubilee, and then He stops reading Isaiah mid-sentence. He
    leaves out the part about vengeance, which is the part they had been waiting generations for. Then He tells two stories about God's mercy landing on outsiders, and the room turns on Him. Underneath all of it is a question worth sitting with in our own Bible study: do we want the miracle more than the miracle worker?

    Questions we answer today

    What was the year of the Lord's favor, and what did Jubilee actually

    mean?
    Why did Jesus stop reading Isaiah 61 halfway through the sentence?
    Why does Luke keep using the word "today"?
    What were they really saying with "physician, heal yourself"?
    Why did the stories of the widow and Naaman enrage them?
    Can we fall into the same entitlement they did?

  • Why Do I Still Live Like a Prisoner After God Set Me Free? (Luke 4:14-22) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

    Hearing God in Luke:

    Jesus stood up in His hometown synagogue, read Isaiah out loud, and said

    it was about Him.

    Today we're in Luke 4:14-22, where Jesus announces His mission: good news

    to the poor, liberty to the captives, sight to the blind. The word for liberty
    is the same word Luke used earlier for the forgiveness of sins. It means
    release, pardon, a debt wiped off the books. I also share a story from a prison
    in Kenya that changed how I read this passage, including one woman who stayed in her cell after her freedom had already been paid for.

  • Why Do I Feel Like I Have to Prove Myself? (Luke 4:1-13) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

    The devil's first words to Jesus were "if you are the Son of God." God had just called Him exactly that.

    We're in Luke 4 today talking about the enemy. Who he is, how he actually

    operates, and why his opening move is almost always an attack on identity. He isn't trying to get you to doubt that God exists. He's trying to get you to
    prove something God already settled, because once you're busy proving, he can get you to do almost anything. This one is meant to give you a battle plan, not fear.

    Tuesday Daily Affirmations: Victorious Through Jesus (1 Corinthians

    15:57)

    Step into your week with boldness,

    peace, and purpose. These Scripture-based Christian affirmations are a short but powerful way to trade your own strength for God's before the day gets away from you. As the world demands more, God invites you to lean on Him. Today's affirmations are a reminder that you are never alone, never powerless, and never without purpose.

    I'll read each phrase, you repeat it, and then I'll tell you the Scripture it comes from.

  • Why Does Resistance Come Right After You Obey God? (Luke 4:1-13) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

    Have you ever said yes to God and then watched everything get harder?

    Luke 4 shows us why.

    We're starting Luke chapter 4 in our fall Bible study, and before we get

    to the three temptations, there's something in the first two verses most of us
    read right past. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is the one
    who led Him into the wilderness. The hard season wasn't a detour from the
    assignment. It was part of it. Today we look at the forty days, why that number matters, and how Jesus fought as a Spirit-empowered man rather than by pulling rank.


    Join me on an immersive Bible Study Experience. Learn more at ⁠BibleStudyLive.org⁠

    Have a question about the series or a prayer request? Leave me a

    voicemail: ⁠SpeakPipe⁠


    Questions we answer today

    Was Jesus not already full of the Holy Spirit before His baptism?

    Why does Scripture keep using the number forty?
    Why did Jesus answer the devil with verses from Deuteronomy?
    What does Israel's forty years have to do with Jesus' forty days?
    Is the wilderness a detour or an assignment?
