Life feels hopeless sometimes. But Jesus made us such a precious promise! We can know immediately that we’ll be with God infinitely. All we have to do is acknowledge Jesus. Recognize that you are a sinner in need of saving, and the only One who can save you is the Lamb of God. Once we accept that gift, we need to tell others about God’s promise! Let’s live in the love of our Holy Father.

2025.03.21 | Daily Devotion | What Great Love! │ Mark 14:32–36 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Jesus, the Son of God, faced more stress than we could ever comprehend. As the cross loomed before Him, He was “overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” What would have happened if Jesus had avoided the cross? May we never take for granted the amazing sacrifice made on our behalf. What great love He showed!

2025.03.20 | Daily Devotion | God Knows Us │ Mark 14:27–31| Pastor Jim Cymbala
We don’t know ourselves that well. We sure think we do—we can think highly of ourselves and judgmentally of others. But when we see how strong and holy God is, we realize how weak and woeful we are. Take a step back today and ask God to reveal Himself—it’s humbling!

2025.03.19 | Daily Devotion |Start Over with Jesus │Mark 14:27–28 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
We can easily get so caught up in our views of pastors and leaders that we lose sight of Jesus. People will fail us and hurt us. But God never will. Even when we fail or get hurt by people in church, Jesus never changes. Today can be the day we start over in our relationships with Him and restore our faith!

2025.03.18 | Something From Heaven | Pastor Jim Cymbala
We all have times when we don’t quite feel right spiritually. Even pastors get discouraged and need prayer. What we need is something from heaven. Only those things from God above will fulfill us. Let's pray for a fresh fire in our spirits and trust that the Lord will comfort and anoint us.
