Kindness: More than Mr. Nice Guy
Pastor Steve Taylor  E-mail Steve   Lakeshore Bible Church Tempe, AZ
Subscribe to Pastor Steve's Devotions    Tune in to Lakeshore's service broadcast every Sunday
God's spirit is designed to produce fruit in our lives, and as we continue this study on cultivating a crop, we examine the qualities of spiritual fruit in the Christian life.  In today's message, we examine what kindness really is and how we can grow kindness in our lives.
Overcoming Fear with Faith
Pastor Mike Montgomery    Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Pelzer, SC
We all have our fears, but how do we overcome fear and doubt? What causes us to be afraid? If we truly trust in God, why do we focus only the "wind and the waves" in our life? Storms will always come, but we're never alone if we fix our eyes on Jesus.

The Open Bible Pulpit: Hosea - 12- Countefeit Hope
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck   Church of the Open Bible  Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C). Though most of the prophecy was written regarding Israel's future, it's also relevant for our learning today. In today's message, we examine the nature of our hope. "Counterfeit hope" is based on man's limits, but God's hope is far greater. God saves the best for last. So where do you put your hope? Are you being robbed by what this world tells you?

Freedom is not Free
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Michael
North Kent Bible Church
Rockford, Michigan
We are blessed in America by the many who have sacrificed their lives to give us freedom. We are the recipients of their great sacrifice. But our freedom wasn't free. A great price was paid. As Christians, we have been set free as well. Jesus gave himself to purchase our freedom. Do we live like we're grateful?
We Remember, We Hope, We Wait
Pastor Michael Hoffman E-mail Michael
Oregon Church of God 860 West Oregon Trail Road, Oregon, Illinois
Nobody likes to talk or even think about death, but what about the hope promised beyond death? There's lots of ideas about what happens, but there's also a lot of misinformation that isn't taught in the Scriptures. Does death equal an immediate reward? What about the resurrection? When will it be? How will it happen? Does the Bible clearly tell us what happens? Find out in today's message as we examine the hope for believers beyond the grave.

School for David
Pastor Wally Winner E-mail Wally   Joy Fellowship 492 Bessie Road, Piedmont, SC
Education hasn't changed that much in God's school.  It's a small school where few enroll and even fewer graduate.  But as we look at David in today's message, we see a man who let God be his teacher.  We also see 3 ways God will teach us if we'll let Him.

I Dare You!
Pastor Larry Mayberry  E-mail Larry    Pennellwood Church of God Wyoming, Michigan
I dare you. These three, harmless little words can get you into so much trouble. Do you remember any of those high school pranks? Often the person only dared you because they didn't want to do it. It's different with Jesus though. He doesn't dare us. He doesn't ask us to do anything he himself hasn't already done. He didn't deserve to die, but he gave his life. Are you willing to follow him? Are you willing to tell others why you follow him? I dare you!
Eph. 1:17; Col. 1:13,14; 20-22; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 5:9,10; Gal. 2:20,21; 1 Pet. 2:20-24;

I Thought You Would Call Me Father
Dr. Joe Martin, Atlanta Bible College   E-mail Joe
Did you know that the God we worship has a name? In fact, in the Bible, His individual, personal name is used almost 7000 times. God tells us exactly who He is. His unique name is important. It's critical that we know it. But why did it go from a proper name to a generic "LORD" or "GOD" when the scriptures were translated? Why aren't we honoring the unchanged name of the Lord our God? Why do we avoid it? Traditions that are wrong are still wrong. Let's start getting it right.

The Open Bible Pulpit: Hosea - 11- With God, There is Tender Love
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck   Church of the Open Bible  Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C). Though most of the prophecy was written regarding Israel's future, it's also relevant for our learning today. In today's message, we examine how Israel rejected God's care. In the same way, we can reject and neglect God's love. But how will you respond? What's holding you back?

God's Contract
Pastor E. Richard Smith
Before anyone builds, they need a blueprint or plan of what they're going to build.  And before you build, you make a contract with the builder.  In today's message, we look at a blueprint for walking in faith.  We're also reminded that any plans we make need to be plans that draw us closer to our God.  He has already made a contract with us and to the world.  Will you be a part of God's plan for your life?
Heb. 9:27,28; 10:37; Isa. 7:14; 9:6; 11:3; Deut. 18:15; 1 Pet. 3:12; Rom. 6:23,4,5; 5:1,2; 12:1,2;
1 John 1:7-9
The Soul Goes Where?
Pastor Rex Cain
Sometimes doctrines in church tradition go unexamined, but when we scrutinize the concepts against what the Scriptures have to say, we discover the truth.  It's that way in today's study of the "soul."  Many teach that man is created with an innate immortality, but is that what the Bible really indicates?  Does man have an immortal soul that lives on after he is gone?  What really happens after a person dies?  And from where did the concept of the immortal soul come?  Find out the answers from history and the pages of the Bible in today's message.

With Reverence and Awe
Pastor Mike Montgomery    Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Pelzer, SC
Are you excited to come worship God in the house of God?  Do you anticipate going?  If you do, you know the wonderful blessing it is to be a part of the household of faith.  And in today's study in Psalm 122, we find great applications for our lives and our worship as the church.
Psalm 122; 120; 121; 133:1; 27; 1 Cor. 10; Eph. 2:19-21; 4:3; Rom. 14:19; 5:1,2; John 17; 4;

"Hyper-Nike" - More than Conquerors
Pastor Alan Cain  E-mail Alan   Lawrenceville Church of God Springfield, Ohio
Who we are as children of God is more important than what the world may see.  We are even told that we are "more than conquerors" if we're in Christ.  And in today's message, we are reminded that there are no "giants" we can't conquer.  Even when others may think the enemy is too strong, we, like David, should see our great God - not a great giant.  Will you be a "hyper-nike" for our Lord?

God's spirit is designed to produce fruit in our lives.  As we continue this study on cultivating a crop, we examine the qualities of spiritual fruit in the Christian life.  In today's message, we examine what it means to have true, lasting, growing biblical peace.

Wisdom and Wonder of the Word

The Bible is God's own word. It instructs and teaches us. Like the example of the Bereans, do we receive, examine, and apply it? Like Josiah, do we find, read, and obey the book? Are we sharing what we read? Be encouraged in your study in today's message.

The Open Bible Pulpit: Hosea - 10 - What About Prosperity?
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck   Church of the Open Bible  Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C). Though most of the prophecy was written regarding Israel's future, it's also relevant for our learning today.  In today's message, we look at two ways: the broad way and the narrow way. The world tells
us how we can be prosperous. The world's riches are measured in how many dollars we have, what kind of house we live in, and what we own. But what's the limit? What value is having it all if you "lose your soul?" What's so different about God's prosperity?
Focus on the Kingdom: Program 22

Through these broadcasts and this ministry, Anthony aims to recover the focus of the Gospel message of the first-century disciples of Jesus, the Messiah, as it was preached and taught. Join with us today as we study Jesus' favorite topic, the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Hannah Had Her Feet on the Ground
Pastor Rex Cain
Hannah desperately longed for a child, but she was unable to have any.  To make it worse, she was the victim of taunts and humiliation because of it.  She wept and mourned greatly.  She was miserable and desperate.  And though she endured much heartache, Hannah was a spiritual rock.  She had both her feet on the ground.  She put her faith in God and prayed earnestly to the Lord.  She turned her burdens over to Him.  She surrendered everything to God, and then she accepted God's will for her life.  She put Him first, and then she even gave God her firstborn son.  What an example for all of us!  What if we all followed her example in our lives and families today?
1 Samuel 1, 2, 3
Mothers of Faith
Pastor E. Richard Smith
Nothing is as expressive as the love between a mother and a child, but as Christians, we can all show and share God's love as a spiritual family.  We can have a great influence on other "children" in the faith.  We can all guide and lead others into the proper way of life.  And as we honor the "mothers" of our faith, let us be reminded to live and love in the examples they have shown to us.
Psalm 110:1-3; Prov. 22:6; 2 Tim. 1
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Real Freedom
Pastor Wally Winner E-mail Wally    Joy Fellowship 492 Bessie Road, Piedmont, SC
What is real freedom?  Do we really understand it?  What will we do with it?  David was fighting for his freedom as we read in I Samuel 21, and in today's message, we look at his example and note three qualities of a freedom fighter.

Profile of a Faithful Mom
Pastor Michael Brown E-mail Michael   Glad Tidings Church of God Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
Imagine being a parent and knowing that your child would be killed. In Egypt, this was the case. It took much faith to face the times of tragedy and terror under the Pharaoh. When Moses wrote the book of Exodus, he gave an intriguing account of his birth mother and what he remembers about her. She and her husband went to great lengths to ensure the safety and survival of her son. They knew there was nothing they could do but trust God. And through their act of courage and faith, God would change the course of history.

A Virtuous Woman
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
Solomon likely knew a lot about having bad women in his life. But in Proverbs 31, we find the description of the "virtuous woman," a model for all godly women. And in today's message, we celebrate and honor Mother's Day by turning to these scriptures.
Proverbs 31:10-31
No Time for Silence
Pastor Dick Eldred E-mail Dick
Sometimes the Christian life can become the same old routine if you let it, and we can miss the greatest blessing that God has for us. In today's story, we learn that the greatest witness for Christ is not necessarily the one who knows all the Bible, the one who's the greatest teacher, or the best debater, but the person who has come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior with an unquenchable excitement. A man who sat hopelessly day after day found the kind of healing only Jesus can give - and it transformed his life forever. And he couldn't keep silent! What an example for us!

The Open Bible Pulpit: Hosea - 9 - Five Steps to Destruction
Pastor Chuck Jones E-mail Chuck Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
In this series by Pastor Chuck, we're examining the prophecy from the book of Hosea (753 - 722 B.C). Though most of the prophecy was written regarding Israel's future, it's also relevant for our learning today.  In chapter 9 of Hosea, we learn that sometimes it's not just the sin in our lives, it's the attitude we have towards the sin. How can we avoid these steps towards judgment?  Find out in today's message.

The Last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ   Pastor Hollis Partlowe
Leaving your will helps determine how your property will be distributed after you die and to whom. But Christ arose to execute his own will. That is why we have a sure inheritance and a certain assurance of our redemption at Christ's second coming. Our Savior has purchased us through his blood. Jesus has made the down payment for us and brought a new covenant to all people. And when he' comes again, it will be to distribute our everlasting inheritance!

The Coming Kingdom
Honorary Elder Ed Goit   Glad Tidings Church of God   Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
The coming kingdom is the believer's expectation.  When Christ returns, it will be the beginning of God's tomorrow.  It's when the whole earth will finally be redeemed and restored.  It will be a time when peace will reign.  Justice and righteousness will rule.  The Davidic dynasty will be re-established.  God's promises will be fulfilled.  Are you preparing for the coming kingdom of God?

The More Abundant Life
Pastor C.E. Randall
Is there more to this life?  Jesus said there was.  He told his followers that he came to give them a more abundant life.  And he does.  He promises us a more abundant and eternal life to come, but he also promises us a more abundant life now too.  In today's message, Pastor Randall reminds us of all the ways we can have a better life now as prepare for the eternal life to come.

Discerning God's Will
Honorary Elder Ed Goit   Glad Tidings Church of God   Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
Sometimes we find ourselves asking how we can know what God's will is for our lives.  What should I do?  Who should I marry?  What job should I get?  How can we know?  Can we expect God to give us a great miracle so we can know?  As we look to God's word in today's message, we find the basis for developing scriptural answers to discern and understand God's will and to listen and find God's guidance for all of life's decisions.

White as Snow - or White as Snow?
Pastor Mike Montgomery    Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Pelzer, SC
The story of Naaman's leprosy healed by God through His prophet Elisha is a story of hope that parallels our Christian conversion.  Like leprosy, sin is our disease, but we're offered new life in Christ.  And as we examine the details of this miraculous healing, we're reminded of 7 symbols that still speak to us today.

Fruit-Bearing Possibilities
Honorary Elder Ed Goit   Glad Tidings Church of God   Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
When a sower sows good seed, he anticipates a good harvest.  Likewise, Christians can, and should, be sowing the seed of the gospel in their lives and also be producing spiritual fruit.  In today's message, we're reminded of the characteristics of a fruit-filled life.  So how does your harvest look?

Tabernacle Types
Pastor Terry Ferrell E-mail Terry Greenville Church of God, Greenville SC
The pattern of the tabernacle was given to Moses directly from God, and a large part of the book of Exodus is devoted to the instructions on its construction. In today's study, we also find how the types of the tabernacle used in the New Testament serve as a pattern and lesson for our Christian service.
