Sermon Devotions
Inspiring weekly devotions that motivate us to remain steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ!
Week of January 4th
Devotion 1: Remember Who You Are
Scripture:
Romans 5:8 — But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Reflection:
God, in His mercy, gives us anchors of remembrance. Chief among them is the cross. Romans 5:8 calls us back to the defining truth of our identity: we are loved by God, not because of what we have done, but because of who He is. When we remember Christ’s sacrifice, we are reminded that our story is not rooted in our failures but in His grace.
Prayer:
Thank God for loving you consistently and faithfully. Ask Him to anchor your identity in Christ alone. Pray for a renewed sense of hope grounded in the gospel.
Action:
Take a few minutes today to reflect on your faith story. Write down one way remembering Christ’s sacrifice strengthens your identity and hope.
Devotion 2: God’s Love Is Undeniable
Scripture:
1 John 4:7–8 — Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Reflection:
We live in a world where trust is fragile and commitments often change, but God is not like us. He does not waver. Scripture declares that God is love — not merely that He shows love, but that love is central to His very nature. To doubt God’s love is to misunderstand who He is. Even when feelings fail or circumstances confuse us, God’s love remains undeniable, constant, and sure.
Prayer:
Praise God for His unchanging character. Confess moments when you have doubted His love. Ask for faith to rest confidently in who God is.
Action:
When doubts arise today, speak this truth aloud: “God is love, and He loves me.” Let that truth shape your thoughts and responses.
Devotion 3: God’s Love Is Unmerited
Scripture:
Romans 5:6 — For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
Reflection:
The gospel is humbling. Before Christ, Scripture describes us as helpless, ungodly, sinners, and even enemies of God. There was nothing attractive or worthy in us that earned God’s affection, yet He loved us anyway. God’s love is not a reward — it is a gift. When we truly grasp the depth of our unworthiness, we begin to marvel at the richness of His grace.
Prayer:
Thank God for loving you when you were far from Him. Confess any pride or self-reliance you have depended on instead of God. Ask God to cultivate humility and gratitude in your heart.
Action:
Show grace to someone today — especially where it feels undeserved — as a reflection of the grace God has shown you.
Devotion 4: God’s Love Is Unforgettable
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:24–25 — and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Reflection:
The love of God is written in history through the cross of Christ. Jesus was mocked, wounded, and crucified — not as a tragic accident, but as a loving sacrifice. The Lord’s Supper reminds us that God’s love is not theoretical; it is costly and personal. When we remember Christ’s broken body and shed blood, we are called not only to gratitude, but to reverent self-examination and renewed devotion.
Prayer:
Thank Jesus for His sacrificial death. Ask God to search your heart and reveal any unconfessed sin. Pray for spiritual renewal and deeper love for Christ.
Action:
Spend time today in quiet self-examination. Confess sin, receive God’s forgiveness, and recommit yourself to living fully for Jesus.
