Daily Devotions with Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:1. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down the three blessings Paul prayed over Timothy: grace, mercy, and peace. We may think that grace and mercy are the same; rather, they go hand in hand. Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us, and mercy is His compassion on us. When we live in the reality of these blessings, peace then sets in. Praise the Lord for His goodness to us!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:3. The world today is full of people “speaking their truth.” If everyone has their own “truth,” then how are we supposed to know what’s really true? There is only one absolute truth—Jesus Christ. Through the Bible, we find out about the truth so that we can be able to identify false doctrines. Let’s pray for discernment today and lean on what we know is true.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from the book of 1 Timothy. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala introduces Paul’s letter to a very important young pastor. He provides context for the book and reminds us that the church is the body of Christ. It’s not good if a part of your body is in disrepair! We need to get involved in our local churches, like Timothy needed to, and strengthen the body of believers.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 2 Corinthians 7:5–6. The Bible is filled with honest accounts of fragile people like us. In a letter he wrote, the apostle Paul shared how a friend had comforted him. What a difference a little comfort and encouragement can make! May we all seek to be uplifting Christian friends instead of spirit-drainers.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 150. In this devotional, we see the emphasis on praise in the final psalm. We have so many reasons and ways to praise our Lord, and He’s worthy of them all! But if we’re honest, how often do we praise objects and people other than God? All those things can disappear in the blink of an eye, but our worship of God endures forever. Let’s praise the Lord today!
