The 8 Minute Devotion

2 of Jesus' apostles, Thomas and Peter, failed greatly around the time of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Yet both were restored to the ministries, as Pastor Cameron discusses today. 

Pastor Cameron looks at three restoration stories from Luke 15 on today's episode. Jesus shared about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, showing God's heart for restoration in each! 

David is a sterling example of God's love for restoration - his sin was grave but God restored him fully. On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron encourages us about God's heart from this story.

God is a God of restoration, as Pastor Cameron shares on today's podcast. We look at the restoration of Judah as an example of God's unending love. 

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron discusses the purpose the Lord had in Philemon's loss of Onesimus. Whatever pain or problem we go through, we can be sure that the Lord has a redemptive purpose for those who love and service Him. 

Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to willfully give ourselves to God. The Apostle Paul realized the value of willful giving, and gave Philemon the chance to joyfully give to the Lord. 

The Apostle Paul would have liked to keep Onesimus with him in Rome, but he sent him back to Philemon. Join Pastor Cameron as he reminds us not to hold selfishly to those God puts in our lives, but to release them into the destiny God has for them. 

The name Onesimus meant "useful", but somewhere along the way he became useless, as a runaway slave and thief. However, through the Gospel, the useless man became useful once again - that is the transforming power of the Gospel, as Pastor Cameron shares today!

The Apostle Paul was fruitful, even after being thrown into a Roman jail - no matter what the enemy devised against him, he continued to bring glory to the Lord. He led the runaway slave Onesimus to salvation while in the worst of circumstances, as Pastor Cameron shows us on today's podcast.  

A soft answer can turn away wrath, while a rude command leads to more anger. Christian leaders should learn to speak to others with kindness and respect, as Pastor Cameron encourages us today.
