Weekly Devotions

When I Drift, Grace Leads Me North

February 20, 2026

If you’ve ever tried to travel without a reliable point of reference, you know how quickly you can become disoriented. The same is true spiritually.

The Wrong Wall

February 13, 2026

This wasn’t a humble man downplaying his accomplishments — this was a man who had genuinely earned every title, every honor, every ounce of respect his culture could offer. By every measurable standard, Paul had made it.

Heart of Worship

February 6, 2026

God often leads us to the water by first allowing us to feel our thirst. The ache itself becomes an invitation because it points beyond relief to the One our souls actually need.

Take Him at His Word

January 30, 2026

Scripture does not present the Father as becoming the Son. It shows the Father sending the Son, and the Son taking on flesh. The Father and the Son are distinct, yet fully one in deity.

For This Reason I Kneel

January 23, 2026

When you kneel, you are saying something with your body that your heart may still be learning: I am not self-sufficient. I am not in control. I need help from Someone greater than me.

Come and See When You’re Not Sure Yet

January 16, 2026

Nathanael’s first response is blunt: “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” That one line captures the resistance many of us feel when God doesn’t match our expectations.

Try It Without…

January 9, 2026

For those who believe, there is always hope, comfort, and a divine purpose at work, even when it’s hidden from view.

“All In for Christ” – A Devotional on Friendship, Faith, and God’s Promises

January 2, 2026

As I grew in faith, I realized (R) had been pointing me toward something greater all along: not self-help, but surrender to God’s will.

Christ in the Waiting: A Christmas Devotional

December 26, 2025

Grace sits at the center of that invitation.

And Heaven and Nature Sing

December 19, 2025

Even before the song spreads outward, it is anchored upward. God is praised not because He meets our expectations, but because He is Creator and King.

The Significance of God — Three in One

By Robert Wilkins | October 31, 2025

Asking God about significance, on the other hand, is different. That’s a question of meaning, value, and impact. “Lord, what does this reveal about You? What does this change in me?”

Surfing the Living Waters

By Robert Wilkins | October 24, 2025

The act of forsaking God for broken cisterns is a choice that leads to a useless search for satisfaction and eventual bondage because these self-made sources inevitably fail.

Confidence in God’s Plan

By Robert Wilkins | October 17, 2025

A Devotional Journey Through Revelation. Many people, churches, and pastors avoid deep dives into John’s profound “Revelation of Jesus Christ.”

When Heroes Fade

By Robert Wilkins | October 12, 2025

This verse suggests more than just rescue from danger; it’s being brought into fellowship with God beyond death. “Sheol” is the grave, the place of the dead.

From “Schurch” to Salvation

By Robert Wilkins | October 3, 2025

This verse suggests more than just rescue from danger; it’s being brought into fellowship with God beyond death. “Sheol” is the grave, the place of the dead.

Is there enough Holy Spirit to go around?

By Robert Wilkins | September 26, 2025

I grow weary of seeing believers give him the same allegiance they owe to Christ. I don’t care what Jimmy Kimmel said about him; I didn’t watch Kimmel before, and I won’t now.

Speaking the Truth That Transforms

By Robert Wilkins | September 19, 2025

Truth without love is harshness. Love without truth is sentimentality. But Jesus? He brings both—with transforming power.

Peace in the Storms, Sunny or Rainy

By Robert Wilkins | September 12, 2025

There is a purpose in all He creates—even when we don’t understand. Too often I thank Him for beauty but forget to praise Him in the cold rain. Yet He is there nonetheless.

Revelation Study Guide

David Silver

Many people, even Christians, fear the book of Revelation. While it is one of the hardest books of the Bible to understand and apply, it is nonetheless possible to make great progress. It is actually one of the most encouraging books of the Bible. The main theme is for believers to continue to be faithful and endure tribulation, despite persecution, spiritual warfare, and trials. This study guide will take you through every chapter of Revelation and give you a good sense of the content and application. May God richly bless you as the book promises to those who take this book to heart.
