Daily Devotional | He Came for the Needy | Matthew 2:19–23 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:19–23. In this devotional, we are reminded of the birthplace of Jesus—a dirty feeding trough in “Nowheresville.” Yet, like every other part of His life, Jesus’ humble earthly beginnings show us a wonderful truth about God—He cares about the broken, poor, and needy. He doesn’t just save the wealthy and privileged. Jesus was born, crucified, and resurrected for all of us. Hallelujah!

Daily Devotional | A Life Lived Well | Matthew 2:9–13| Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:9–13. Whenever God starts something new in our lives—a ministry, a church, any Spirit-led venture—it’s most vulnerable when it’s new. Jesus’ life was threatened for the first time when He was just a new child! But where God guides, He is faithful to provide. Let’s trust Him through every spiritual attack and for every detail. There’s nothing better than serving Jesus!

Daily Devotional | King of Your Life | Matthew 2:1–4 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:1–4. In this devotional, we are reminded that Jesus should be King of our lives. When we accept His gift of salvation, we are no longer ruling our lives. Just like the Magi followed the star of Bethlehem to the King of kings, we, too, follow His guiding light and worship our Lord. Life is so much better with the True King of glory!

Daily Devotional | Jesus Our Savior | Matthew 1:18–21 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 1:18–21. We celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas, but how often do we remember the reason we do that? Jesus wasn’t just a miracle baby born under impossible circumstances—He was born to be the Savior of the world. Our sins are washed away because of His loving sacrifice. This Christmas let’s rejoice in knowing that we are saved forever—thank You, Jesus!

Daily Devotional | Believe for the Impossible | Luke 1:26–35 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Luke 1:26–35. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us that Jesus doesn’t want a present tied up with a pretty bow this Christmas—He just wants us to believe Him. He’s a big God who can do big things! Remember how Jesus was born? A virgin giving birth is impossible! But nothing is impossible with God. Believe in His ability, and watch what happens.

Daily Devotional | Your Prayer Is Heard | Luke 1:10–15 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Luke 1:10–15. In this devotional, we learn about answered prayers from the story of Zechariah. An angel told the priest, “Your prayer has been heard.” What a blessing! While God does not work according to our timetables, He is always listening, moving, and answering our prayers. This Christmas, keep praying for the miracle you need—your prayer is heard.

Daily Devotional | Christmas Hope | Malachi 4:5–6, Luke 1:5–7 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Malachi 4:5–6 and Luke 1:5–7. Is an impossible situation filling you with dread this holiday season? God loves to work in places where there seems to be no hope! If He could fulfill Old Testament prophecies in miraculous ways, surely God can provide for us. Have hope this Christmas—God is working!

Daily Devotional | His Love Is Greater | Matthew 1:1–2, 5–7, 16 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 1:1–2, 5–7, and 16. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala begins looking at the genealogy of Jesus—which includes the son of David and Bathsheba. Isn’t it amazing how God took one of the darkest times in David’s life and used it for His glory? And He does the same with us today! There is no sin too dark that Jesus can’t wash it away. What a blessing!

Daily Devotional | His Love Endures Forever | Psalm 136 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 136. What do you need? Spiritually or physically, God always provides for our needs. We may think that because we’ve failed Him by disobeying, now He won’t want us anymore. But that’s a lie! The love of God is never ending! The Lord always meets our needs, and He always loves us. Let’s hold onto that promise and praise the Lord for it.

Daily Devotional | Don't Worship Death | Psalm 135 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 135. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala urges us to worship the living God. We make idols out of everything—money, pleasure, status, social media. But idols are dead. They can’t see, hear, or speak to us. Why would we want to worship something with no life when we could worship the Creator God who can see, hear, and speak to us? Hallelujah, our Lord is alive!
