  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - The Privilege of Choice

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    It would have been nice if God had let us order life like we order a meal. I’ll take good health and a high IQ. I’ll pass on the music skills, but give me a fast metabolism. Would’ve been nice, but it didn’t happen.

    When it came to your life on earth, you weren’t given a voice or a vote. But when it comes to life after death, you were. In my book that seems like a good deal, wouldn’t you agree? Have we been given any greater privilege than that of choice?

    You’ve made some bad choices in life, haven’t you? You’ve chosen the wrong friends, maybe the wrong career, even the wrong spouse. You look back and say, “If only. If only I could make up for those bad choices.” Well… you can. One good choice for eternity offsets a thousand bad ones on earth. The choice is yours.

  • The Bible for Kids Podcast - S8Ep12: Beginning with God: 92 Bible Devotions for Young Children

    This week, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with author Carl Laferton to talk about his brand-new book, Beginning with God: 92 Bible Devotions for Young Children.

    If you’ve got little ones at home, this is a resource you’re going to love. These devotions are designed to help young children discover our promise-keeping God in a way that’s both fun and meaningful.

    Each devotion is short, engaging, and easy to do, perfect for busy families, and just right for keeping young attention spans focused. More importantly, they’re helping lay the foundation for a lifelong love of God’s Word.

    As a family, you’ll spend intentional time together with Scripture through simple questions, guided prayers, and read-aloud moments from God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook.

    And it’s not just reading; there’s plenty of interaction built in. Every devotion includes optional activities, retelling prompts, and even a sticker that connects to the story you’ve just explored, which kids absolutely love.

    Here’s how each devotion is structured:

    You’ll start with a simple question to get your child thinking, followed by a short prayer. Then comes a read-aloud from God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook, along with a few easy review questions to reinforce what they’ve learned. You’ll wrap up with another prayer, a fun sticker moment, and an optional activity to bring it all to life.

    There’s so much here for kids to see, hear, talk about, and do, making Bible time something they genuinely look forward to.

    If you’re looking for a simple, meaningful way to connect with your preschooler or kindergartner and grow together in faith, Beginning with God is a fantastic place to start.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 23rd - Mark 10:15
    Mark 10:15
    [Jesus said:] “I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
    It wasn’t at all surprising that there were parents who wanted Jesus to bless their children. What was surprising was that Jesus had time to do so. He was on the way to Jerusalem and within a few days he would be crucified, and he knew that all of this was ahead of him. The disciples were concerned that Jesus shouldn’t be bothered by children, so they told the parents off. The disciples were simply seeking to protect Jesus, but they were absolutely and completely wrong. Even though they knew Jesus well and had spent much time with him, they completely misread the situation.
    Not only did Jesus welcome the children, but he went much, much further. He insisted that the only way to enter the kingdom of God was by becoming like a child. As he so often did, Jesus was turning the disciples’ thinking upside down. They saw children as a noisy distraction, but he saw them as the perfect illustration of what they all needed to be.
    I am sure that Jesus had many things in mind when he encouraged his followers to become like children. He was aware of their humility and urged his disciples to come to him with empty hands, ready to receive his gifts. He was also deeply aware of the trusting nature of children. Children very quickly learn who they can trust. I remember with pleasure the times when my children would leap into the air, certain that I would catch them. Now that they are adults, I am equally grateful that they don’t still do so! When a child leaps into their parent’s arms, they are expressing total confidence. They know they will be completely safe.
    As adults, we are wonderful at making everything extremely complicated. The previous verses tell us of Jesus being challenged about his views on divorce. I think he pointed to children by way of contrast. It was as if he was saying: “Stop making things so complicated. Just trust yourself to me.”
    Question
    In what ways do you need to become more childlike?
    Prayer
    Lord God, thank you that you are a loving Father and that I can always place my complete trust in you. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - Scared of Christ's return?

    Is 1 John 2:28 a warning to believers that they should fear the return of Christ? What is it like to be in the kingdom of God today? Does a Christian need to wait before they're involved in ministry? Can a believer sell their soul to the devil? I missed an opportunity to share my faith and now, I want to go back and talk to them again. What should I do?

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - From Cross to Crown: What Jesus Finished and What It Means for You! - Part 3
    If it's finished… why are you still trying so hard? Discussion Questions:

    2. What three truths are showcased by the three Hebrews passages presented?
    3. How did God disarm the rulers and authorities? What were they armed with?
    4. What does it mean to you that you have died to the world? To its principles?
    5. React to this statement: We each need to attend our own spiritual funeral and sign the death certificate!
    6. How does 2 Corinthians 5:21 detail a "radical exchange"? What are the benefits?
