Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:12. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us who provides our strength: God! We are called to serve the Lord with gladness—but sometimes we get run down. When we can’t imagine doing any more, we need to remember where our help comes from. God promises to give us the strength we need to do what He’s called us to. Let’s live that out today!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:9–11. As Christians, we aren’t called to live under Old Testament law. At the same time, the good news of salvation has to be prefaced with the law. Why? To bring conviction of sins. We have to know and confess our sins before we can appreciate our Savior. Let’s thank Jesus for all He has saved us from!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:7–9. Born-again Christian believers are not meant to live under the law of Moses. Saying that confuses and even angers some people! But we’re helpless to abide by every single law. Jesus died on the cross so that we could get out from legalism and law-based faith. We have to tell our Savior that we’re hopeless without Him. God is our salvation and our hope.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:5–6. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to keep the main thing front and center. Many of us have seen church people argue over the tiniest details while forgetting the simplest truth of Christianity: love Jesus and love others. When we follow this command, God can work mightily in and through us!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:5. If we were called to perfection, no one would be a Christian. We can’t act as though we perfectly have it all together—that would be hypocrisy! We can’t have clean consciences all on our own. Let’s be sincere about our shortcomings and ask the Lord to purify our hearts, cleanse our consciences, and strengthen our faith.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:5. Many of us who grew up in church believe that only people from our own church or denomination will go to heaven. But how can that be, if the Bible says that God loves everyone? We must look at what the Scriptures say and go by that. Are we willing to be radical enough to love everyone like Christ does? Only by the power of the Spirit can we do that—let’s pray for His help today!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:4. Too often Christians wrangle over minor issues. At the end of our lives, what’s going to be more beneficial to a desperate mother or a man looking for redemption—talking about who Cain’s wife could have been or the fact that Jesus died for the sin of mankind? While biblical discussion is beneficial, let’s not lose sight of what matters most.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:1. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down the three blessings Paul prayed over Timothy: grace, mercy, and peace. We may think that grace and mercy are the same; rather, they go hand in hand. Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us, and mercy is His compassion on us. When we live in the reality of these blessings, peace then sets in. Praise the Lord for His goodness to us!
