1/31/2026 “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” —  1 Corinthians 4:1–2 Have you ever paused to consider the reality that nothing you possess truly belongs to you? Everything you have—your children, homes, businesses, resources, influence—has been entrusted to you by God. You are not an owner; you are a steward. James 1:17 affirms this truth:  “Every good

1/30/2026 “As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.” — 2 Corinthians 6:1 In 1 Corinthians 4:1–2, Scripture declares: “So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” To rightly grasp this passage, we must first understand what stewardship truly means—and how faithfulness is measured. A steward is not merely a custodian who preser

1/29/2026 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” —  1 Peter 4:10 There is a higher purpose to life than living for oneself—and truthfully, a life centered only on self is not life at all. If your days, weeks, and months revolve solely around your own needs and those of your immediate family, you are not fully living the God-life. God created you for more. Much more. God has placed som

1/28/2026 “The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.”  (Psalm 14:2)   God has needs.  There are things within our possession—both tangible and intangible—that the Lord has need of. Jesus demonstrated this clearly when He instructed His disciples to untie the colt for His triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He told them,  “If anyone asks why you are doing this, say, ‘The Lord has need of it’”  (Mark 11:3). The

1/27/2026 “And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it…’”  (Mark 11:3)   Scripture tells us plainly,  “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful”  (1 Corinthians 4:2). To truly understand faithfulness in stewardship, we must first recognize a foundational truth:  everything we have came from God.  James 1:17 declares,  “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.”  

1/26/2026 “The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.”  (Psalm 16:6) As a Christian, you have a divine advantage in life. You were not saved to struggle endlessly or live beneath God’s provision. You were born into a godly heritage and called to inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9). David understood this reality when he declared,  “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want”  (Psalm 23:1). In Christ, you lack nothing—He is your sufficiency. The

1/25/2026 Psalm 67 “May God be merciful and bless us. May His face smile with favor on us. May Your ways be known throughout the earth, Your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise You, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise You. Let the whole world sing for joy, because You govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. May the nations praise You, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise You. Then the earth will yield its harvests

1/24/2026 Ephesians 6:18 “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.” 1 Corinthians 14:2 “For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.” Romans 8:26 “In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himse

1/23/2026 Psalm 122:6–7 “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, prosperity within your palaces.’” The nation and people of Israel remain very important to God, and Scripture clearly instructs us to pray for their  peace and salvation . Though many in Israel rejected the Messiah, God has not rejected them. Romans 11:11 tells us that salvation was made available to the Gentiles so that Israel might be provoked to jealousy an

1/22/2026 Acts 6:7 “So God’s message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted too.” The power of the gospel cannot be denied. The gospel is the solution to  every  problem facing mankind. Romans 1:16 tells us that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, and 2 Peter 3:9 reveals God’s heart—that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance and the knowledge of Christ. By the g

1/21/2026 2 Corinthians 9:7–8 “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” Philippians 1:7 “It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you shar

1/20/2026 2 Samuel 22:2–4 “And he said:  The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. ” Several years ago, while preparing for an international trip, I felt an unusual uneasiness in my spirit. I immediately discerned that it

1/19/2026 Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Malachi 2:15 (NLT) “Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are His. And what does He want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; rema

1/18/2026 Isaiah 53:5 “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 “Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” Do you realize that the same price that was paid for your salvation is the same price that was paid for your healing? Healing was not an

1/17/2026 Acts 16:14–15 “One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. When she and the members of her household were baptized, she invited us to her home…” 1 Timothy 2:4 “[God] desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Corinthians 5:19 “That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting

1/16/2026 1 Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 12:15–26 “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” God planted and anointed you in your local church for  productivity and excellence . He did not plant you there to be passive, indifferent, or merely observant. It grieves the Holy Spirit when a believer lives without producing results worthy of the name o

1/15/2026 Luke 10:2 “And He said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’” Isaiah 60:4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried at your side.” Being part of a church is far more than attending services. When you actively participate in the vision of your c

1/14/2026 Acts 26:16–18 “Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of Me. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.” In Jeremiah 3:14–15, God

1/13/2026 Ephesians 6:18–19 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.” Colossians 4:3–4 “Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it mani

1/12/2026 Colossians 4:3 “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.” Ephesians 6:18–19 “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.” Philippians 1:27 “Whatever h
