Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Cymbala

Are we staying faithful to the unique calling God has placed on our lives, or are we letting organizational demands crowd out our spiritual focus? In this message, explore Acts 6 as the early church navigates growth, ministry priorities, and the vital need for leaders who are truly full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. Discover why devoting ourselves to prayer and the Word opens the door for God to move beyond our human limitations.

Are we trying to live for God and share the gospel in our own human strength, or are we walking in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit? In this message, explore Acts 1:8 and discover why early believers were told to wait for spiritual power before becoming witnesses to the world. Instead of getting distracted by speculation over end-times dates and prophecies, God calls us to draw near to Him and receive the spiritual force needed to reach a culture in need of Christ.

Are we trying to overcome our struggles alone, or are we allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us? In this message, explore how self-control is not produced by self-effort, but is a fruit of the Holy Spirit living within us. Discover how yielding to the Spirit empowers us to conquer addictions, discipline our speech, and break free from the desires of the flesh.

How do we experience true, lasting joy even amid life’s greatest trials? In this message discover how yielding to the Holy Spirit unlocks the fruit of the Spirit—moving us beyond fleeting happiness and into the supernatural strength found in the joy of the Lord. As we learn to walk by the Spirit rather than relying on our own strength, He produces a deep, surging peace that guards our hearts against despair and spiritual exhaustion.
