Reflect on how God works all things together for good in the lives of believers, providing purpose even in struggles. God Makes Us, Breaks Us, Puts Us Back Together is not a slogan—it is the lived testimony of every believer who has walked any real distance down the road of life. Scripture does not promise a pain-free journey. Instead, it promises a purposeful one. Romans 8:28 anchors us in this truth: God is never wasting a moment, a wound, or a season of loss. He is always working, shaping, redeeming, and restoring.

The Inn Within – Making Room for Christ Daily
Explore the meaning of The Inn Within and how it can deepen your spiritual journey with Christ throughout the year. The reflection concept for today’s devotion—and for next Sunday’s message as well—came to me while preparing for a Tuesday morning Ascent Bible Study. It centers on a familiar Christmas phrase that quietly confronts us all year long: “There was no room at the inn.” Over time, this phrase has taken on a deeper meaning for me—what I now call “The Inn Within.”

The Bigness of God – Trusting Him Beyond What We Ask
Explore The Bigness of God and break free from limited beliefs. Discover how God exceeds our expectations and imagination. We all have a tendency to think small when it comes to God. Even those of us who have walked with Christ for many years can quietly place limits on what we believe He will do. We pray cautious prayers. We set modest expectations. We assume God will act only within the boundaries of what feels reasonable to us.
Resolutions or Transformation | Romans 12:2 Devotion
Explore this New Year devotion based on Romans 12:2, urging transformation by the Holy Spirit rather than temporary resolutions. As we welcome the year 2026, many people around the world will make New Year’s resolutions. These promises often focus on self-improvement—better habits, stronger discipline, healthier choices, or renewed priorities. Yet experience teaches us a familiar lesson: most resolutions fade quickly. They are made with sincere intention but rely heavily on human willpower, which is limited and fragile.
The Child Who Grew to Be Our Savior
Reflect on the impact of The Child Who Grew to Be Our Savior, highlighting the growth and wisdom of Jesus as foretold in Scripture. Christmas invites us to linger at the manger, to marvel at the wonder of God made flesh. Yet Scripture gently urges us not to stop there. The Child in the cradle did not remain an infant. He grew, learned, obeyed, suffered, and ultimately reigned. Luke’s Gospel gives us rare glimpses into the hidden years of Jesus’ life, reminding us that the eternal Son truly entered our human story. From the manger to the cross to the crown, God’s redemptive plan unfolded with purpose, humility, and glory.
God Calls Us: Fulfilled Prophecy and Obedient Faith
Discover the profound ways God calls us, tracing His purpose through the early life of Jesus and divine prophecy. From the earliest pages of Scripture, God reveals Himself as a God who calls. He calls individuals, families, and nations according to His redemptive purposes. Sometimes His call comes through direct words, sometimes through angels, sometimes through dreams, and now—most faithfully and personally—through the Holy Spirit and the written Word. In today’s devotion, we trace God’s calling hand through prophecy and fulfillment, especially as seen in the early life of Jesus. What appears at first to be a series of relocations—Egypt, Israel, Nazareth—is in fact the careful unfolding of divine intention. God is never improvising; He is always fulfilling what He has spoken.
