Daily Devotions: Pastoral Prayer - February 7, 2026
Exodus 28:29 (NLT) “In this way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes of Israel over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place. This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.” In this Old Testament devotional, Pastor David Sumrall points us to a powerful picture of leadership and prayer found in the priestly ministry of Aaron. God instructed that the names of the twelve tribes be carried over the priest’s heart as he entered the presence of the Lord. This was not sy...

Daily Devotions: Offerings - February 6, 2026
Exodus 25:1–2 (ESV) “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me.’” In this Old Testament devotional, Pastor David Sumrall shows us the powerful truths found in these two simple verses about offerings and worship. God instructs Moses, as the spiritual leader, to tell the people to bring an offering. Giving does not begin with silence or assumption, but with clear spiritual leadership that communicates God’s instruction. The offering is to...

There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank.

Instead, he turned and went into his palace, and did not take even this to heart.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall highlights the danger of hard hearts, closed minds, and closed ears.

He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall highlights the truth that God is not controlling, but sin is. God created us with free will. He does not force obedience, love, or devotion. Sin, however, does the opposite. Scripture teaches that people...

Scripture Reading: Genesis 49:1–7 In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores Jacob’s blessings over his sons and what they reveal about leadership and character. He highlights two key lessons: first, an unruly spirit, like Reuben’s, destroys the potential for future leadership—discipline and self-control are essential for promotion. Second, violent and angry people, like Simeon and Levi, must be scattered, as grouping them together only amplifies harm. Yet, in God’s mercy, even those scattered can be used for His purposes. This devotion reminds us that character shapes des...

Joseph shows that economic crises follow a pattern: first, cash disappears; then, assets that cost money to maintain are sold; finally, land begins to transfer hands. Those who retain liquidity and act wisely at the right time can acquire what others must let go.

When someone has genuinely learned, it shows in two ways: discernment in their decisions and the words they speak. As truth becomes part of the heart and lifestyle, it naturally flows from the mouth. This reminds us that teaching and mentoring are successful when the principles we share are repeated and lived out by others. ---- ...

Daily Devotions: Joseph's Life Was Not All Easy - January 22, 2026
Scripture Reading: Genesis 42:1–43:32 In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall looks beyond Joseph’s promotion to reveal a lesser-seen reality of his life in Egypt. Though Joseph held great authority and wealth, his life was not easy. Scripture shows that he endured daily prejudice and exclusion because of his identity as a Hebrew. His success did not spare him from bigotry, envy, or resentment. This devotion challenges us to see success clearly. God’s blessing does not remove hardship, and promotion does not eliminate opposition. Prosperity often comes with pressu...

When Joseph was promoted to govern all of Egypt, his authority was publicly established. Yet he did not begin by celebrating or issuing orders. His first action was to inspect the land and understand what had been placed under his responsibility. Before leading, we must learn. True leadership begins with understanding what we have been entrusted with. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture...

As he prepares to face his brother Esau, Jacob turns to God with a powerful, four-part prayer that gives us a clear pattern for praying when trouble surrounds us. From Genesis 32, we learn how Jacob approached God in obedience, reminded Him of His promises, humbled himself before the Lord, expressed gratitude, and then boldly presented his request for protection. This prayer shows us how to stand on God’s word even when fea...

Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.’” In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we look at the church in Pergamum, a place described as the very city where Satan had his throne. Surrounded by intense spirit...

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.” In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we learn Paul’s warning to...

Daily Devotions: Learning the Difference Between Explaining and Proclaiming - October 20, 2025
1 Timothy 4:6 (NLT) – “If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed.” In today’s Daily Devotion, Pastor Sumrall reminds leaders that true ministry is not just about proclaiming truth, it’s about explaining it. The Apostle Paul urged Timothy not merely to declare what is right but to help believers understand how to live it out. Too often, leaders shout commands like “Be holy!” or “Have faith!” without teaching...

Daily Devotions: Love Flows From Three Rivers - October 17, 2025
1 Timothy 1:5 (ESV) – “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” In this teaching, Pastor Sumrall shares how true love isn’t something we just talk about—it’s something that flows from the right source. Like rivers joining to form something greater, love flows from three streams in the believer’s heart: a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith. When we walk in holiness, keep our conscience tender before God, and live out real faith—not imitation or performance—then genuine love n...

1 Timothy 5:14–15 (ESV) – “So I would have younger widows marry, bear children, manage their households, and give the adversary no occasion for slander. For some have already strayed after Satan.” In this passage, Paul reminds believers that the way we live can either give the enemy room to slander us—or take that opportunity away. satan looks for chances to twist truth and spread lies, so it’s important to live wisely, avoiding even the appearance of wrongdoing. As Pastor Sumrall shares, many have been destroyed by false accusations rather than by truth itself, so guarding our reputati...

Pastor David Sumrall reminds us that this decline doesn’t happen overnight—it starts with small compromises. When ministers or believers begin acting instead of serving sincerely, speaking lies instead of truth, silencing their conscience, and controlling others through legalism, they start walking down what he calls...

Paul teaches that new believers—no matter how gifted or influential—need a season to grow before taking on leadership or ministry roles. Rushing into responsibility too soon can lead to pride and unnecessary hardship.

God values zeal that is guided by wisdom and understanding. When we rush ahead without learning first, we often make choices that lead us off course. In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we’re reminded of the importance of pairing enthusiasm with knowledge.

When a man finds a wife, he not only receives God’s favor but also discovers a treasure of great worth. A treasure isn’t something we treat casually—it’s something we value, protect, and care for deeply. Gentlemen, your wife is far more precious than gold or any earthly possession.

Proverbs 18:8 (ESV) – “The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body.” Not all words are worth listening to. Some conversations build us up, while others quietly tear relationships apart. Proverbs warns that gossip—those “dainty morsels” of rumor—sinks deep into our hearts, shaping how we think and feel about others. It may seem harmless at first, but gossip plants seeds of strife and can even separate close friends.

I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them.” In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we are reminded when persecution comes, God does not leave His people to suffer alone. Just as Jesus told Saul, “Why do you persecute Me?” (Acts 9:4), we learn that when the church suffers, Christ Himself suffers with us. In Isaiah, God reminds His people: “In all their suffering, He also suffered… He personally rescued them” (Isaiah 63:9).

Paul reminds us that people can be swayed by persuasive words, deceived by well-crafted arguments, or caught up in empty philosophies. But real convict...

Paul commends Epaphroditus as a true brother, coworker, fellow soldier, and messenger who loved God’s people and risked his life for the work of Christ.
