In this devotion, Pastor Tim shares a powerful story from Walter Wangerin, Jr. titled, "Ragman."

One of Satan's most deceitful lies is the thought that "You Are Too Dirty, Broken, Flawed, and Sinful to be Forgiven." In our guilt, he whispers that God could never forgive someone like us. But God's Word speaks truth to the contrary. God removes our sin and clothes us in righteousness. Join us as we confront the lie of unworthiness and embrace the boundless grace of God’s forgiveness.

Pastor Tim Runtsch offers a devotion titled, "Abide With Me" that is based on the old hymn of the same name, as well as Psalm 46:1.

Loneliness is one of Satan’s most painful lies. He whispers in our struggles: "You Are Alone." But God’s Word speaks a different truth. God assured us that he would never leave us nor forsake us, and he proved the promise by sending us his Holy Spirit. Join us as we confront the lie of loneliness and find comfort in the unfailing presence of God.

Pastor Tim Runtsch offers a devotion titled, "Grace Was Always the Plan" based on Psalm 103:8-12 and Romans 3:23-24.

Satan tells us, “You Can and Must Save Yourself." Work harder, be stronger, take control—this lie leads to exhaustion and despair. But Scripture reveals a different truth: salvation is not our work but God’s. Join us as we expose Satan’s lie and rest in the truth that God saves in Christ alone.

Pastor Tim offers a devotion based on the powerful words of Romans 5:8 titled, "Loved Because He is Love."

When suffering comes, when prayers seem unanswered, when life feels lonely—Satan whispers his most painful lie: "God Does Not Love You." This deception strikes at the heart of faith, tempting us to doubt God’s goodness. Our suffering seems to suggest God has abandoned us. Yet, Jesus reveals the ultimate proof of God’s unending love for us. Join us as we expose Satan’s lie and find unshakable assurance in Christ’s love.

When we sin, our first instinct is often to hide it. We think if we cover it up, we can avoid consequences, maintain our reputation, or even fool God. But this is Satan’s lie: "You Should Cover Up Your Sins." God’s Word makes clear that concealed sin only leads to deeper destruction. But there is good news—God calls us not to hide but to confess and receive his mercy. Join us as we expose the lie of secrecy and embrace the freedom of God’s grace.

Pastor Tim offers a devotion based on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:1-2. It is titled, "The Measure You Use."
