Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Cymbala

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.
Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Galatians 5:22–23.

Are you experiencing true, inner peace—or are anxiety and chaos stealing your rest? In this message, explore the vital distinction between having peace with God through salvation and experiencing the daily peace of God imparted through the Holy Spirit. Discover how yielding to the Spirit frees us from strife, calms our hearts, and guards our homes against division.

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.

God’s commandments are impossible to obey on our own. For example, we need the Holy Spirit to love our enemies as ourselves!

Going to church doesn’t overcome the flesh; only a close, personal walk with the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit.
