2025.01.24 | Daily Devotion | The Evil of Envy │ Mark 11:17–19 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Sometimes it’s hard not to be jealous when we see others receiving blessings. But we have to remember that envy destroys others. In fact, the envy of the religious leaders in Jesus' day was the human catalyst for getting Jesus on the cross! Let’s pray that God delivers us from jealousy and envy. May He help us to rejoice in others’ blessings.

2025.01.23 | Daily Devotion | A House of Prayer │ Mark 11:17 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Churches should be houses of prayer. Pause and think about that. How much time do our church services give to praying? While there’s nothing wrong with focusing on a theme, the real vision of the church should be talking with and calling out to the Lord in prayer. We need to remember what the church is called to do today.

2025.01.22 | Daily Devotion | It's God's House │ Mark 11:12–18 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Most of us have seen or heard about churches and preachers scamming people. What a shame! Jesus literally overturned tables in the temple because He saw people overcharging those who were there to give glory to the Lord. God wants His house to be a place of worship and offering. May we never be a part of taking advantage of others.

2025.01.21 | Daily Devotion | Hosanna! | Mark 11:7–11 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the people called out "Hosanna!" They were drawing attention to Him. But the Lord was entering their city on a lowly colt. Jesus never showed off or tried to impress; instead, He was humble and meek. Let’s be humble like Jesus today and cry “Hosanna” to His name.

2025.01.20 | Daily Devotion | It’s Not About Us │ Mark 10:52–11:6 | Pastor Jim Cymbala
What do you have that the Lord can use? Perhaps you have a talent, a pay increase, or some spare time in your day-to-day life that you can give to God. The greatest joy in life is to be available to the Lord and see Him use us in some way for His honor and glory. It’s not about us, it’s about Him.
