Devotional 10.17.25


Celebrate God 

Ephesians 3:20–21

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 

 

Scripture Reading – Psalm 92

For our call to worship this Sunday, we will read together Ephesians 3:20-21, which reminds us that God can do immeasurably more than we can imagine, working in us and through us according to His power. Paired with Psalm 92, a psalm of praise for God’s steadfast love and mighty works, we are reminded that His faithfulness endures and His power transforms lives. Even when our circumstances feel small or overwhelming, God’s ability to exceed expectations encourages us to trust Him fully. Like the flourishing of a well-watered tree, our lives reflect His glory as we remain rooted in Him. Our response to His immeasurable power is worship, recognizing that all honor, glory, and praise belong to Him forever. This is a good reminder that worship is not about us or our preferences, it is about God and praising and exalting Him, it is our response to His glory and loving kindness.

 

The songs Forever Reign, Thank You Jesus for the Blood, Jesus Paid It All, and How Great is Our God teach us these truths through melody and lyrics. Forever Reign reminds us that God’s love and sovereignty stretch over every aspect of our lives. Thank You Jesus for the Blood and Jesus Paid It All highlight the depth of His sacrifice, our redemption, and the personal nature of His grace. How Great is Our God invites awe and reverence for His majesty and creative power. Together, these songs reinforce that God is powerful, faithful, and worthy of our praise, inspiring hearts to trust Him, rest in His promises, and live in joyful obedience.

Further reading: Psalm 145:3; Romans 8:37-39; Jeremiah 32:17

Reflection Questions:

1.     How does trusting in God’s immeasurable power change the way you face challenges?

2.     Which song or Scripture verse helps you most remember God’s greatness in your daily life?

 

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your limitless power and faithful love. Help me to trust You in every situation, even when I cannot see the outcome. May Your truth shape my thoughts, guide my choices, and inspire my worship. Let the songs I sing and the Scriptures I study remind me daily of Your greatness, Your sacrifice, and Your presence in my life. Strengthen my faith to live boldly for You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Devotional.1.5.25

Devotional on   Ephesians 2:4–7, Psalm 51 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus  (Eph. 2:4-7) .   This Sunday we will gather for the first time of this New Year, 2025 and will be returning to our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind , beginning with Psalm 51. The New Year brings an opportunity for new beginnings, new goals, and a sense of a fresh start. Psalm 51 is a great chapter to focus on in the beginning of a new year because it is a prayer of repentance, confession, and praise. David, having been convicted of his sin with Bathsheba, pours out his heart to God, asking for forgiveness and mercy. He recognizes...

Devotional 7.11.25

July 11, 2025 – Tell The Story Matthew 28:18-20:  And Jesus came and said to them,  “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.   Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”   Scripture Reading – Psalm 78   What’s your story? What is God’s redemptive story? Do those intersect for you? This week is a good time to reflect on those questions. The writer of Psalm 78 is recounting the lessons from Israel’s past. Asaph is doing this to remind them of who God is, the mighty and faithful acts he’s done, and that Israel (the tribe of Judah, v. 68) are God’s chosen people. The psalmist’s desire is that they not only repent of their sin and unbelief (v. 32), but that their transformation and turning back to...

Devotional. 1.10.25

  Devotional on  Hebrews 3:1-3, Psalm 52   Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,   2  who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house.   3  For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.    This Sunday we will continue in our sermon series  Psalms: Heart, Soul, and Mind  with Psalm 52. As I was reading this psalm, with the lyrics of our morning worship songs playing in my head, I was struck by the awareness of choice. David is writing during a very difficult and dangerous time, and yet chooses worship instead of despair.    God gave us the gift of free will, the ability to make choices and to have discernment. Many of us have started 2025 with goals, or resolutions. How are...
