Devotional 3.27.26



March 27, 2026 – The Act of Communicating His Word – Serving Others

 

Psalm 68:19–20

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

 

Scripture Reading – Matthew 28:16-20, Matthew 25:31-46

 

Psalm 68 declares that God is not distant, He is actively saving, sustaining, and delivering His people. In Matthew 25, Jesus shows that this saving work has visible expression. Those who belong to Him care for the hungry, the stranger, and the hurting. In doing so, they reflect His heart and reveal His kingdom. Communicating the Word of God is not only spoken but also lived. As we proclaim the gospel to the world, our actions give credibility to our message. When we care for others, we demonstrate the reality of a God who saves and restores. The gospel we share is the same gospel we embody. As ambassadors of Christ, we are called to declare His salvation and display His compassion so that others may come to know Him.

 

The songs we sing shape how we understand and communicate the gospel. Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) calls us to lift our voices together, proclaiming the coming King. Jesus Strong and Kind reminds us that Christ invites the weak and weary, giving us a message of hope to share. Speak O Lord centers us on God’s Word, equipping us to communicate His truth faithfully. And How Deep the Father’s Love For Us anchors us in the depth of God’s love displayed through the cross. These songs teach us that the message we proclaim is rooted in God’s saving work, and they prepare our hearts to share that truth with both our words and our lives.

 

Further reading: Romans 10:14–15; 2 Corinthians 5:16–21; James 2:14–17

 

Reflection Questions:

1.     How can your actions help communicate the truth of the gospel to others? 

2.     Who in your life might need to both hear and see the love of Christ?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for being my salvation and for caring for me daily. Help me to faithfully communicate Your Word through both my words and my actions. Give me eyes to see the needs around me and a heart that reflects Your compassion. Strengthen me to share the hope of the gospel with boldness and humility. May my life point others to You and display the love You have shown me. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Devotional 5.16.25

Yours, O Lord, Is the Kingdom   1 Chronicles 29:10-11 Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 70   Psalm 70 is a cry for urgent help: “Make haste, O God, to deliver me!” In contrast, 1 Chronicles 29 declares God’s eternal rule, power, and glory. Together, they reveal two essential truths of faith: God is both near to the needy and exalted above all. We pray for deliverance while praising His unshakable sovereignty. David, in his final prayer, praised the Lord not for personal blessing, but for God’s eternal kingship and majesty. When we feel weak and desperate like the psalmist, we look up and remember the greatness of our God and His amazing love demonstrated in sending Jesus Christ (John 3:16; R...

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 4.25.25

Grace Received, Grace Shared Ephesians 2:8–10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 66   Ephesians 2:8–10 reminds us that our salvation is purely a gift of grace—not earned, but given, so that no one may boast. We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to live lives of purpose, filled with good works prepared by Him. Psalm 67 echoes this theme, celebrating God’s mercy and blessing so that His ways may be known throughout the earth. As we come to the Lord’s Table on Sunday, we remember we are saved by grace and sent by grace. Communion is not just a remembrance of Christ’s death—it’s also a recommissioning to live out the grace we've received, that all nations might rejoice in God’s saving power through our ...
