ALL IN with Stephanie

Boasting, why is it not aligned to love? Boasting focuses on self. Boasting doesn't leave room for the celebration of others. Boasting gives no recognition to God. Join us as we read together and study, 1 Corinthians 13:4, "Love does not boast" Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to produce greater faith and hope.

Envy. Envy acts in opposition to love. Envy distracts from the ability to love others because it focuses have versus have not. This month we continue looking at love. Loving others, when it's easier to hate. Loving others, when it would be easy to envy what others have. Envy focuses on the gaps between us, love focuses on Jesus, the one who bridges all gaps. Join us as we read together and study,...

Celebrate! Rejoice! With the love that is overflowing we can celebrate and lift up those around us! For the beautiful moments and blessings in life! Today may the love in our hearts and appreciation of the love of our heavenly father so flow from us that we can celebrate this life no matter what our circumstance. 1 Corinthians 13:6 Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to produce greater faith and hop...

Love is Kind. Seems like a no-brainer. Yet, I know in my home, those I love the most, I can be the least kind to. Kindness doesn't come easy when we are stressed, and life is moving full steam ahead. But kindness is the evidence of live. May the kind side of love grow in us. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to produce greater faith and hope.

1 Corinthians 13 is known as the love chapter. And February is known as the LOVE month (thank you Hallmark)! Appropriately, then we are studying love this month! Each Cup of Hope we will take a look at a section of the verses from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Verse 4 tells us, "love is patient." We see the demonstration of patient love through the life of Jesus Christ. Today we dig into patience that com...

What do you think and believe about God's kindness? Nehemiah 9:17 demonstrates for us God's kindness reigned down on the Israelites - despite their refusal to listen to Him. He extended mercy and kindness on them because of His great love for them. He loves us just the same. Let's experience God's kindness today. Meditate on the words of scripture this week and let God's kindness become real, evid...

What do you think and believe about God's kindness? We will study Titus 3:4&5 today.  These verses highlight salvation as the demonstration  of God's ultimate kindness. Meditate on the words of scripture this week and let God's kindness become real, evident and visible to you. Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to produce greater faith and hope.

What do you think and believe about God's kindness? Do you acknowledge it? Do you see it, experience it and understand it? His kindness leads to repentance, we are told in Romans 2:4. This week on Cup of Hope we are focusing on the Kindness of God.  Meditate on the words of scripture this week and let God's kindness become real, evident and visible to you. Cup of Hope: A gulp of God's word to...

Behold Creation. Behold the beauty and expanse of the sky. Behold the transformation of the sky at sunrise, the vibrancy of color and creativity. Behold the new day. Behold the power of God to create the heavens and the earth. In the beholding may you learn to trust, may you feel comfort of the power of God, may you be at peace knowing God holds it all together. And He has a purpose for it all! As...

Romans 1:23 tells of those who exchange the glory of God - who fixed their eyes on what was seen - for the glory of what was visible. May we fix our eyes on Jesus - though we cannot see Him with our eyes - we know He is with us. May our understanding of God's glory rise as we seek His face above the things that are visible. This week on Cup of Hope we are talking about living by faith & not by...

Wisdom. What is it? How do we know if we have it? Well, according to Paul in his letter to the Roman church, he identifies that there were a lot of "knowledgeable" people. People who knew God, but did not have HIS wisdom. Wisdom is demonstrated through actions. It's one thing to have the head knowledge, yet another thing completely to employ the knowledge. Having wisdom is not about "fixing" other...

Do you know God? Do you know and trust that He is at work? How does this knowledge of him translate into how you live, think, behave and talk? This week on Cup of Hope we are talking about living by faith & not by sight - and this idea of God's glory. God's glory - the honor that He is due - we give to him by how we respond, how we behave, how we think & live our lives. Let's bring him glo...

The gift of salvation is untouchable. There is not greater gift that we can receive than the gift of salvation. However, as the "honeymoon" phase of salvation wears off, sometimes the excitement and joy of our salvation wears off.  One way to keep the joy from wearing off, or to rebirth the joy is the recount all that God has done - and share his goodness, the goodness of giving us the opport...

Salvation is a gift from God. It is a gift that only he can give. It is a gift to be received. We can choose to know the gift exists - yet not receive it. Not believe that it is true for us, and therefore miss out on the benefits & blessings of the gift. In Psalm 62:1 & 7 David writes of the blessings of the gift of salvation. He knew where his salvation came from. And he felt, lived and w...

Salvation is about faith. It's about putting faith in something we can't see - but trusting and believing in the fact that Jesus washes away our sin. We get to be in relationship with God. On this episode of Cup of Hope we discuss Romans 1:16-17 which talks about the righteous walk by faith. And it is the power of God that gives us salvation. Salvation by faith. Join us, reflect, respond, be renew...

We are promised - and we can attest to the fact that we will walk through many trials. Today we take a look at James 1:4 where we learn that endurance perfects in us our lack of nothing. As our faith muscles grow, so does the muscle memory, and we can endure through hard times with greater resilience. Join us today and let your cup be filled up!

We are promised - and we can attest to the fact that we will walk through many trials. Trials can be big and life altering. They can be smaller but still change thinking or behavior. Or affirm our faith. Today we take a look at James 1:2-3 where we learn that trials produce in us endurance. Trials are like weights in weightlifting - the give us muscles of faith. A gulp of God's word to produce gre...

God is faithful. Sometimes we forget just how faithful he is. But when we look at sculpture we can see He is faithful to give us just what is needed.  Listen to the lyrics of the song and to the words of the verses and be encouraged to know that God is with you!

Today on Cup of Hope I share the lyrics to the song, Pretty Amazing Grace by Neil Diamond. This song has a special place in my heart - and my dad's heart. My dad introduced me to this song shortly before my brother went into the ICU, and passed from this life a couple of weeks later.  God's grace, is the only thing worth living for.  God's grace fills us up, it removes the emptiness we f...

This morning on Cup of Hope we share about hope! Hope is available to all of us, we just have to seize it - and truth that Christ is faithful to His promises. He is the anchor for our souls!   The song, "I have this Hope" from Tenth Avenue North has been an inspiration for me for the last 5 years as I began writing, and sharing the story of alcoholism in our family.   Cup of Hope is a da...

Canyons, a song written by Cory Asbury has meant a lot to me. It has reminded me of God's love for me. I paints a beautiful picture of the never-ending love of God.  Ephesians 3:18 -19 supports the lyrics and John15:13 as well.    Cup of Hope is a daily video devotional series where Stephanie Winslow highlights a verse from the Bible and teaches on it to provide a quick morning gulp...

The band Skillet wrote a song called, Stars. This song has incredible lyrics. They remind us of how God who created the stars, set them in place also knows our name. He holds our hearts. He calms our storms.   Listen to the song : https://youtu.be/TbLJyjfyACM .

We are told not to covet our neighbors house, possessions, job, etc.  Covet in essence means that we desire what someone else has.   If we are busy wanting what others have we miss out on the blessing of what God has given us.  Covetousness leads to emptiness, it leads to disappointment and leads to envy - none of which produce anything positive in our lives.   A Morning C...
