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.

Daily Devotional | Modesty: Bible Versus Culture| 1 Timothy 2:8–10 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
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.

Daily Devotional | Callings Beyond Expectations | 1 Timothy 2:5–7 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Maybe he called you during a church meeting or used another believer to speak life over you. It’s important that we remember these words and allow them to stir a fire within us.

There are many people—including some of us—who would not be where they are today without the mercy and grace of God. When we think about His goodness, it’s overwhelming!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:15–16. Many of us think we’re too far gone or we’ve done too much wrong for God to use us. But look at the apostle Paul’s testimony! He called himself the worst of all sinners, not to hold himself to his past, but to illustrate that if God could use him, He could use anyone. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to guide and use us today. We all have a testimony!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:15. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down the apostle Paul’s famous line, “I am the chief of sinners.” We have no righteousness on our own. But Jesus gives us His! Righteousness from Christ guards us from the condemnation that the devil wishes upon us. So Paul meant no condemnation by his statement—he knew Jesus’ righteousness was on him and he was saved by grace. Hallelujah!

We are all sinners, but we can be cleansed, redeemed, and saved forever because of God’s great love for us. But that message isn’t just for church-goers—it’s for everyone! So let’s have patience with those who are deep in their sin and show them the amazing love and salvation that God freely gives.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy1:12–14. We have countless reasons to be thankful for God’s daily mercies. He may allow us to go through bleak and hard times—but as a famous preacher put it, a jeweler puts his best diamond on black velvet. That dark background illuminates the beautiful diamond, just like our trials illuminate God’s goodness and graciousness in our lives. Let’s thank Him for it all today!

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.

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!

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.

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!

The world today is full of people “speaking their truth.” If everyone has their own “truth,” then how are we supposed to know what’s really true? There is only one absolute truth—Jesus Christ. Through the Bible, we find out about the truth so that we can be able to identify false doctrines. Let’s pray for discernment today and lean on what we know is true.

But humility is the opposite—humble people appreciate and value correction. God says that He hates pride but will lift up the humble. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we must humbly lower ourselves so that God can raise us up.

Many people say that if someone corrects them, they must not love them .But it’s the opposite! It's because God loves us that He gives us chastisement, or correction. A wise person will receive that and change his or her words or behavior. Today let’s pray for the wisdom to welcome correction from our heavenly Father.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 1:1–2, 5–7, and 16. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala begins looking at the genealogy of Jesus—which includes the son of David and Bathsheba. Isn’t it amazing how God took one of the darkest times in David’s life and used it for His glory? And He does the same with us today! There is no sin too dark that Jesus can’t wash it away. What a blessing!

Daily Devotional | His Love Endures Forever | Psalm 136 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 136. What do you need? Spiritually or physically, God always provides for our needs. We may think that because we’ve failed Him by disobeying, now He won’t want us anymore. But that’s a lie! The love of God is never ending! The Lord always meets our needs, and He always loves us. Let’s hold onto that promise and praise the Lord for it.

Daily Devotional | Don't Worship Death | Psalm 135 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 135. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala urges us to worship the living God. We make idols out of everything—money, pleasure, status, social media. But idols are dead. They can’t see, hear, or speak to us. Why would we want to worship something with no life when we could worship the Creator God who can see, hear, and speak to us? Hallelujah, our Lord is alive!

Jesus gave us everything—He’s worthy of all our praises. It makes God our Father happy when we lift our hands and praise His holy name. Lift our hands up today and bless the Lord!

Daily Devotional | The Blessing in Unity | Psalm 133 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 133. If unity is absent, so is the Spirit of God. That sounds harsh! But the reality is that God loves and honors unity among believers. If we have bitterness or jealousy toward one another, then our spirits are not welcoming to the Holy Spirit. Let’s pray for unity in our homes and churches.

God is not a concept to be defined. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always good. It goes against our human nature to wait patiently, but by God’s grace, we can!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 126. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to tell others about Jesus. The Bible calls this “sowing seeds”—like gardeners who plant seeds in the ground, we drop spiritual seeds when we share the message of salvation. Sometimes it’s painful not to see instant fruit in the lives of those we talk to—but the psalmist says that there is a joyful harvest for those who sow with tears! We must pray for others and continue planting those seeds.

The famous missionary David Livingstone was a great example of this strong faith—after surviving a lion attack, he lived fearlessly for God! The Lord said He will protect us, so we can live in that promise.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:169–176. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reads one of his favorite Bible verses. Even though it doesn’t seem to make sense to end a chapter with “I have strayed. . . . Seek your servant,” with these words the psalmist gives us a beautiful picture of God’s goodness. Even the strongest Christians are susceptible to straying—but Jesus always seeks us and carries us through our troubles. May God bring us out of our bad situations and help us to live for Him every day.

Only praising the Lord on Sundays will lead to a spirit of fakeness, and the world has enough of that already. Let’s be true worshipers of God and thank Him often for all He's given us!

Jesus endured great pain—and as His followers, we will suffer too. But what a glorious encouragement it is to know that God is with us! Pressure and mental strain can either bring out the best in us or drive us back to worldly ways. May the Holy Spirit help us to fully rely on the Lord.

He challenges us to pray at night—during those moments when we should be sleeping but we’re wide awake instead. Sometimes our sleeplessness is the Lord prompting us to get us praying and spending time with Him. While the world’s asleep, we can make a difference for the kingdom of heaven by praying for others.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:121–128. New Testament Christians do not have to abide by all the Old Testament laws—for example, we’re free to eat pork and shellfish, and we don’t have to make sacrifices in the temple. We also shouldn’t pray for the destruction of our enemies as Old Testament authors did! But it takes discernment to understand these matters. When we study the Bible, we must ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. He’ll always help!

And one thing about Jesus is that He never acted differently with one person than with another. He was always His true, loving, holy self. We need to be that way too. We can’t be fake! Let’s pray today that the Lord will sustain us so that we can walk in unity and not be double-minded.

In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala takes us through one of the most popular verses in the Bible: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” Obviously we can’t hold the Bible up on a dark night and expect it to light our way. What we receive from the Scriptures, however, offers spiritual guidance for our daily choices and actions—what not to say, where to go, how to react. Let’s allow God to illuminate the way for us in this dark world.

In today’s devotional, Pastor Cymbala asks us, “Where would you rather be today: on earth, fighting the devil, or in heaven with God?” As believers in Christ Jesus, this should be an easy question! The Bible promises that we’re going to heaven if we’re saved. When our time on earth is through, there will be no coming back or reincarnating—just instantly facing our Savior. Hallelujah for that!

If we’re the ones acting wrongly, he still loves us. The chastening of God helps us to live godly lives, if we're open to receive the teaching. However we may be feeling today, we can take refuge in the peace and love of God. Let’s thank Him for that!

A multi-millionaire may appear to have wisdom since he’s so successful, but he could be taking actions that God disapproves of. That makes the rich man quite unwise! We Christians must have the fear, or deep respect, of the Lord in order to be wise. Let’s pray for wisdom today.
