Rev. Luke Powell Daily Devotions

God is generous in so many ways. Are we thankful for His generosity? Or are we just paying lip service to God?

Where can I find hope? The ultimate source of hope in these broken times is the cross of Jesus Christ.

Seeking intimacy in cold, uncommitted relationships, or images on a screen? There is a better way. Jesus heals and brings us the intimacy we need.

Should we try escape our past? Our try find healing from it? The cross of Jesus offers healing for sinful pasts.

Feeling afraid? Feeling insecure? The cross of Jesus is the answer.

We were born to matter! Steve Deneff's book More Than Forgiveness shows us how our need for significance has been distorted by sin, but is healed at the cross of Jesus.

I want to worship God as my life in this world ends - knowing I'll be singing forever in the next life too.

10 000 reasons for my heart to sing is too few. There are countless more reasons, when we know God!

God is rich in love, and slow to anger. His name is great, and His heart is kind. Will you worship Him for these reasons? And all sorts of other ways that He is good?

"Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing til the evening comes". This is the Christian life - singing praise all through the day, whatever happens.

Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin's modern classic song inspires us to worship from the heart, not just with our lips. That's what true worship is!

If I want to live for God, I need to be disciplined and choose what is good over what I feel like.

We all have specific callings from God, to be lived out in our day to day lives. What is yours?

Daily I must remind myself: God is my highest joy and desire! I love HIM above all!

Reminding myself that God has filled me with his Spirit and sanctified me is what enables me to live for Him.

Every day I like to remind myself that I am loved and forgiven by the God of the universe.

Paul is clear in his writing that revenge is not for us. Why? Because Jesus died even for the sins of those who've hurt us.

Paul instructs us to be patient with everyone! Not just some, but everyone!

The early Christians helped the weakest in their camp. How can you help somebody who is weak today?

Paul was a great encourager, in a time when Christians surely got discouraged quickly. Do you need courage today? Find it in Jesus! _______ Paul's Words of Encouragement In 1 Thessalonians 5:14, Paul says to his people, "We urge you, brothers and sisters, encourage the disheartened." Encourage the disheartened. That's a great lesson for us today. Are you encouraging that disheart...

Paul told the early Christians to always strive to good - and that meant warning those who were idle and disruptive. Do we need to hear his warning today?

"Some day you will read in the papers that D. L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am. I was born of the flesh in 1837. I was born of the Spirit in 1856. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit will live forever." #dailydevotional #death #dailydevotion #Jesus

One of Moody's great evangelistic meetings was very much influenced by the prayers of 2 ordinary women. You can also pray like them! #dailydevotional #dailydevotion #prayer #evangelism

Once sentence about giving God your everything changed DL Moody profoundly. Maybe it will do the same for you? #dailydevotional #dailydevotion #consecration #surrender #Jesus

When a man criticized Moody's grammar, his reply was epic! Think before you criticize. #dailydevotional #dailydevotion #criticizing
