Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:19–23. In this devotional, we are reminded of the birthplace of Jesus—a dirty feeding trough in “Nowheresville.” Yet, like every other part of His life, Jesus’ humble earthly beginnings show us a wonderful truth about God—He cares about the broken, poor, and needy. He doesn’t just save the wealthy and privileged. Jesus was born, crucified, and resurrected for all of us. Hallelujah!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:9–13. Whenever God starts something new in our lives—a ministry, a church, any Spirit-led venture—it’s most vulnerable when it’s new. Jesus’ life was threatened for the first time when He was just a new child! But where God guides, He is faithful to provide. Let’s trust Him through every spiritual attack and for every detail. There’s nothing better than serving Jesus!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 2:1–4. In this devotional, we are reminded that Jesus should be King of our lives. When we accept His gift of salvation, we are no longer ruling our lives. Just like the Magi followed the star of Bethlehem to the King of kings, we, too, follow His guiding light and worship our Lord. Life is so much better with the True King of glory!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 1:18–21. We celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas, but how often do we remember the reason we do that? Jesus wasn’t just a miracle baby born under impossible circumstances—He was born to be the Savior of the world. Our sins are washed away because of His loving sacrifice. This Christmas let’s rejoice in knowing that we are saved forever—thank You, Jesus!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Luke 1:26–35. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us that Jesus doesn’t want a present tied up with a pretty bow this Christmas—He just wants us to believe Him. He’s a big God who can do big things! Remember how Jesus was born? A virgin giving birth is impossible! But nothing is impossible with God. Believe in His ability, and watch what happens.
