4-minute Devotions - the Podcast

Anybody can have extraordinary faith. Perhaps it starts with simply thinking about what we have heard about Jesus and remembering what we (and others) have already experienced. Then it continues with the active resting on the unchanging promises of his Word and trusting he can do it again. Are you ready to reach out a hand and touch the edge of His robe?

"Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you" Col 4: 12

‘I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does’ (John 5: 19 NLT).

Why do we find it difficult to surrender everything to God? Perhaps a fresh look at His love for us might help.

My thanks to Ps Jay Lee for featuring one of my 4-min devotions on his Daily Sabbath podcast. This is a simple message about Timothy, the Apostle Paul's great friend and helper. How God can take an ordinary person like you and me and make him into something extraordinary.

On what do you base your faith? David would encourage us to allow the scriptures to take us on a journey through the history of God's faithfulness

The power of praying in unity

The story of King Hezekiah and the siege of Jerusalem. In one brief prayer of desperation, Hezekiah reminded himself where God is, who God is, the extent of His kingdom and what God can do. He invited God into his dire situation, and he prayed that his God is glorified. Then God turned things around...

Choosing to trust God while He moves at the pace He chooses

This is a sample from my new audiobook: "Bite-size devotions for the busy Christian" published by Kharis Publishing. Looking through the stories of 1 Samuel, one message comes through loud and clear: God will do what He said He will do.

‘The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.’

When all else fails and when the fragility of life (and the fragility of those around us) is most apparent, our hearts can find courage again in the promises of God 

Devotion based on the Parable of the widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18: 1 - 8

Don't try to imagine how God will answer your prayer. He can do way more than all we ask or imagine

3 essential parts of life. Each one is an act of faith

When God seems far away our hope is in the promise of God's unfailing love

Sometimes the Bible calls us to be silent before God. It is the greatest form of trust

Short devotion based in Isaiah 40: 27 - 31

What does the Bible say about eternal life? What Jesus said might surprise you

Ever felt like you are not good enough? The good news is, God LOVES to partner with us in his purposes

What miracles has God done in your life? Hang on to them

The deeper the pain or the challenge, perhaps the deeper He draws us into relationship with him – if we are willing

When we go through tough times, God is treating you like a son or daughter and He delights in you
