Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 138. Many people speculate about what humility is. Some say the weight of our sin is what keeps Christians humble. But actually, Jesus giving us kindness and mercy instead of the judgment we deserve for our sins makes us want to have humility! Let’s pray to be empty of ourselves so that we can be full of God.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 137. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us to have fellowship with the Lord. Remember when you first got saved? As we get older and move past that initial day of salvation, many of us lose our joy—the songs in our hearts dry up because of lost fellowship with God! We can never lose relationship with Him, but we sometimes slip out of fellowship. Let’s restore fellowship with Jesus today and sing a song of praise!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Luke 2:22–32. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us of the importance of the Holy Spirit. Christianity is based on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. But we can’t worship and serve Him without the power and influence of the third member of the Trinity—the Holy Spirit. Let’s pray to be Spirit-filled Christians, today and every day. Our relationships with Christ will be far better for it!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Luke 2:8–15. Many people are searching for peace. Some try meditation, others seek peace through substances. These worldly “solutions” just lead to numbness. There’s one real way to have inner peace—Jesus Christ. When everything around us gets loud and busy, let’s remember that the Prince of Peace is always by our sides.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.
