Daily Devotional | Everyone Has an Opinion | 1 Timothy 2:11–15 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:11–15—a heavily disputed passage of Scripture. It’s all about the role of women in the church! Pastor Cymbala encourages us all to do our own biblical research and pray for insight on this challenging topic, but we shouldn't break fellowship with other believers over our varying opinions. Through the Holy Spirit, let’s seek to understand God's Word and prioritize unity and love.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:8–10. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down a tricky verse about modesty. The world screams for women to dress sensually, while certain churches stack up unreasonable requirements in the name of “modesty.” We have to look at what the Bible says. Let’s approach modesty and what we wear with a spirit of prayer, asking God for peace and guidance rather than pleasing people.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:5–7. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages each of us to follow our individual callings. God has a plan and design for each of our lives. What people think about who’s more likely to do what doesn’t matter—if God calls you to something, you’ll succeed. Let’s focus more on what the Lord asks of us personally than on what others think of us.

Daily Devotional | Our Mediator | 1 Timothy 2:3–5 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:3–5. A mediator is someone who goes between the judge and the accused. When it comes to our eternity, God is the judge, and we are the accused sinners. We have no way to get into heaven on our own—but Jesus steps in as our mediator! He took our judgment upon Himself and takes our prayers to God personally! Are we living in that truth daily? Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we should be!

Daily Devotional | Who Does God Love? | 1 Timothy 2:3–4 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:3–4. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reads from the Bible that God wants everyone to be saved. That verse negates the idea that only a select few people can get saved. God loves everyone! Jesus died for all mankind! With that in mind, let’s tell others today that God loves them and has a plan for them.

Daily Devotional | Tune Out the Noise | 1 Timothy 2:1–2 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:1–2. It’s hard to hear Jesus if our lives are full of worldly noise. As Christians, we are called to live godly and peaceful lives. How are others supposed to see our godliness if we’re overwhelmed by the same things they are? Let’s live for Jesus today and be lights in the dark world.

Daily Devotional | Powerful Prayers | 1 Timothy 2:1–2 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 2:1–2. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala dives into the importance of prayer. Even before preaching and singing, churches should be known for praying. When prayer is done with faith and sincerity, there’s no request too small, too emotional, or too specific for God. He wants to hear it all! Let’s ask Him for hearts to pray today so that our faith can stay invigorated.

Daily Devotional | Stay in God’s Hands | 1 Timothy 1:19–20 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:19–20. There are many things in the Bible we won’t fully understand until we get to heaven. But we can clearly understand this: we should never blaspheme God or push the envelope with sin. There is no “how far is too far” just because we’re saved by grace. We must submit ourselves to God’s plan every day—our lives will be so much better for it!

Daily Devotional | That Still, Small Voice | 1 Timothy 1:18–19 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:18–19. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us to keep our consciences clean. Sometimes that means waking up in the middle of the night to ask forgiveness for something we said earlier! We have to be sensitive to the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit who convicts us. When we yield to Him, we keep short accounts with God and can live with good consciences.
