Acts 13:2 (ESV) - “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shares an important leadership lesson from the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. When the Holy Spirit called individuals for a specific assignment, He clearly identified those He had chosen. Although others joined the team, not everyone had been specifically called to that work.

Pastor Sumrall explains that there is a difference between giving someone an opportunity and recognizing a genuine calling. Good intentions, family connections, or a desire to help are not substitutes for God's direction. When people become part of a ministry or assignment without a clear calling from God, difficulties, discouragement, and even departures can occur when challenges arise.

This Daily Devotion reminds us of the importance of building teams according to God's leading rather than human preferences.

2026 1 Timothy 4:13 Project 

2 Kings 18:4 (ESV) - “He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores an important lesson from the reforms of King Hezekiah. What had once been a God-given symbol of faith became an object of worship. The bronze serpent, originally used by God to encourage faith and bring healing, had gradually become something the people honored and revered in place of God Himself.

Pastor Sumrall explains that symbols can be helpful reminders of God's work, but they must never take the place of a relationship with Him. Throughout history, people have sometimes become attached to objects, traditions, or experiences that once strengthened their faith, only to elevate them beyond their proper purpose.

This Daily Devotion reminds us that our faith must always be centered on God.

2026 1 Timothy 4:13 Project 

Acts 11:4 (ESV) - “But Peter began and explained it to them in order.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall examines how Peter responded to criticism after sharing the gospel with Gentiles. Although Peter had obeyed God and seen people come to faith in Christ, some believers criticized him because his actions challenged long-held cultural traditions. The issue was not a violation of Scripture, but a departure from customary practices that many had grown comfortable with.

Pastor Sumrall explains that believers will sometimes face criticism for doing what is right, especially when God's leading challenges established traditions or expectations. Peter’s response was neither defensive nor argumentative. Instead, he calmly and clearly explained what he had done, why he had done it, and the results that followed.

This Daily Devotion reminds us that when faced with misunderstanding or unjust criticism, wisdom often requires patient explanation rather than conflict.

2026 1 Timothy 4:13 Project 

Acts 10:33 (ESV) - “So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come. Now therefore we are all here in the presence of God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shows us the attitude of Cornelius and his household as they gathered to hear Peter speak. They did not come together for entertainment, social interaction, or personal gain. They came with a sense of expectation, recognizing that they were in the presence of God and ready to receive a message from Him.

Pastor Sumrall explains that our approach to church matters. When believers gather, they should come with hearts prepared to hear God's Word, believing that He has something to say that can shape and transform their lives. The focus is not on personalities, programs, or distractions, but on receiving the truth God desires to communicate through His Word.

This Daily Devotion reminds us to approach every church service with reverence, expectation, and a hunger to hear from God.

2026 1 Timothy 4:13 Project 

Proverbs 29:25 (ESV) - “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.”

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches about the danger of living with a fear of people. Solomon warns that fearing others becomes a trap, leading people to compromise their convictions, change their behavior to gain approval, and make decisions based on the opinions of others rather than the truth of God’s Word.

Pastor Sumrall explains that many people spend their lives trying to please everyone around them, fearing criticism, rejection, or what others might think. Yet God never intended us to be controlled by the expectations of people. Instead, believers are called to place their trust in the Lord, finding security in His approval rather than the approval of others.

This Daily Devotion reminds us that freedom comes when we stop living for people’s opinions and start living in confidence before God.
