Here's a 5-day devotional guide based on this week’s message

Day 1: God's Unfailing Love
Reading: Exodus 34:5-7, 1 Peter 5:6-7
Devotional: Today, we focus on God's self-revelation as a God of steadfast love and faithfulness (Chesed ve Emmet). This love isn't just a feeling, but a commitment; it's the kind of loyal love that perseveres through all circumstances. God invites us to cast all our anxieties upon Him because He cares for us deeply. Reflect on areas in your life where you're holding onto worry or fear. How might believing in God's unfailing love change your perspective on these concerns? Take time to intentionally "cast" these burdens onto the Lord in prayer, trust in His care and faithfulness.

Day 2: Strength in Weakness
Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:7-18, 12:9-10
Devotional: Paul's metaphor of "treasures in jars of clay" reminds us that our weakness is the very stage on which God's strength is displayed. When we feel broken, pressed, or perplexed, these are opportunities for God's power to shine through us. Think about a current challenge you're facing. How might God be using this situation to demonstrate His strength? Instead of asking God, "why me?" or for Him to remove the difficulty, try asking Him to reveal His power through it. Remember, it's often in our moments of greatest weakness that we experience God's presence most profoundly.

Day 3: Perseverance and Character
Reading: James 1:2-4, Romans 5:3-5
Devotional: The path of spiritual growth often leads through trials. James encourages us to "count it all joy" when we face various trials, not because the trials themselves are enjoyable, but because of what they produce in us. Perseverance, character, and hope are forged in challenges.  Please take some time today to reflect on a past difficulty you've overcome. How did that experience shape your character or deepen your faith in God? Now, consider a current struggle. How might God be using this to develop perseverance and hope in you? Ask God for the strength to embrace this process of growth and to trust in His good purposes. Let God transform you into the person He has called you to be.

Day 4: The Transforming Gospel
Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Romans 12:1-2
Devotional: The gospel isn't just about future salvation; it's about present transformation. As we behold the glory of the Lord, we are being transformed into His image. This transformation often happens in the mundane and challenging moments of everyday life. How have you seen the gospel changed you over time? Are there areas where you still resist this transformation? Invite the Holy Spirit to continue His renewing work in your mind and heart today. Ask for eyes to see how He might be using your current circumstances to conform you more to the image of Christ.

Day 5: Hope in Suffering
Reading: Romans 8:18-39
Devotional: In a world filled with pain, brokenness, and trials, the promise of hope shines brightly for those who belong to Christ. Paul declares that “our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” This means no hardship, no grief, no disappointment is final. God is working through it all; He is shaping us and pointing us to a future where every tear will be wiped away. Paul goes on to proclaim that nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. No trouble, no persecution, no loss, no power in Heaven or on earth can break that bond. As you read these verses, let them remind you of God’s unshakable commitment to you. Take some time to reflect: what situation in your life feels overwhelming, as though it might separate you from God’s love? Hold that circumstance up to the light of this passage. Ask God to give you a fresh perspective through the promise of future glory and the assurance of His steadfast love. To seal this truth in your heart, read verses 38-39 out loud and remind yourself that nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate you from the love of God that is yours in Christ Jesus.

Here's a 5-day  devotional guide based on this week's Sermon

Day 1: The Mission of God
Reading: Genesis 12:1-3, Isaiah 42:6-7
Devotional: God's heart for the nations has been evident from the very beginning. When He called Abraham, it wasn't just to bless one man or one nation, but to bless "all peoples on earth." This mission continues through Isaiah's prophecy of Israel being "a light for the Gentiles." As we reflect on these passages, let's consider our role in God's grand mission. How are we being called to be a light to those around us? In what ways can we participate in blessing all peoples? Take time to pray for opportunities to share God's love with someone from a different cultural background this week.

Day 2: The Sending God
Reading: Mark 3:13-15, Luke 10:1-3
Devotional: Jesus exemplified the heart of a sending God. He called disciples to Himself, but He didn't keep them close for His own benefit. Instead, He sent them out with purpose and power. Notice the pattern: first, Jesus calls them to be with Him, then He sends them out. This reminds us that our effectiveness in mission flows from our intimacy with Christ. Today, spend extra time in God's presence, allowing Him to fill you before you go out. Ask Him to show you who He might be sending you to today.

Day 3: The Great Commission
Reading: Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8
Devotional: The Great Commission is not a suggestion but a command from our risen Lord. Jesus promises His presence and power as we go to make disciples of all nations. This task might seem overwhelming, but remember that it starts right where we are - in our "Jerusalem" - before expanding outward. Today, reflect on the spheres of influence in your life. Who in your family, workplace, or neighborhood needs to hear about Jesus? Pray for boldness to be a witness, trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to work through you.

Day 4: The Value of Every Soul
Reading: Luke 15:1-10, 3 John 1:5-8
Devotional: These passages highlight the immense value God places on each individual soul. Jesus tells parables of searching for the one lost sheep and coin, illustrating God's relentless pursuit of the lost. Similarly, John commends believers for their support of missionaries, recognizing the importance of reaching out to strangers. As you go about your day, try to see each person you encounter through God's eyes. How might your interactions change if you truly believed each person was infinitely valuable to God? Look for an opportunity to show Christ-like love to someone you might normally overlook.

Day 5: The Urgency of the Harvest
Reading: John 4:34-38, Romans 10:13-15
Devotional: Jesus speaks of fields ripe for harvest, emphasizing the urgency of the gospel message. Paul echoes this, asking how people can believe if they haven't heard, and how can they hear without someone telling them? This urgency should stir our hearts to action. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Today, pray earnestly for God to raise up more workers for His harvest field. Then, consider your own life - are there areas where you've been hesitant to share your faith? Ask God for courage to step out and be part of His harvesting work, whether that's across the street or across the world.

Here’s a 5-day devotional inspired by this week’s sermon.

Day 1: Created in God's Image
Reading: Genesis 1:26-31, Psalm 139:13-16
Devotional: As we reflect on being created in God's image, we are reminded of our inherent worth and purpose. God intentionally crafted each of us, imbuing us with qualities that reflect His nature, creativity, love, and the capacity for relationship. Today, consider how you uniquely reflect God's image. In what ways can you use your God-given attributes to honor Him and serve others? Remember, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, designed with intention and love by the Creator of the universe.

Day 2: Living in a Fallen World
Reading: Romans 8:18-25, 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Devotional: Our world, though created good, now groans under the weight of sin. We experience pain, suffering, and brokenness daily. Yet, as believers, we are called to live with hope. Today's passages remind us that our present sufferings are temporary and a glorious future awaits us. How can you maintain an eternal perspective in the face of worldly challenges? Consider ways to be a beacon of hope in your sphere of influence, pointing others to the redemptive work of Christ amidst life's struggles.

Day 3: The Universal Need for Salvation
Reading: Romans 3:21-26, Ephesians 2:1-10
Devotional: Today's readings highlight our universal need for salvation and God's gracious provision through Christ. We all fall short of God's glory, yet He offers us redemption not based on our own merits but through faith in Jesus. Reflect on your own journey of faith. How has God's grace transformed your life? Take time to thank Him for His unmerited favor and consider how you can extend that same grace to others who are still seeking.

Day 4: Renewing Our Minds
Reading: Romans 12:1-2, Colossians 3:1-17
Devotional: Developing a biblical worldview requires the ongoing renewal of our minds. As we immerse ourselves in God's Word and yield to the Holy Spirit, our thinking is transformed. Today, examine areas of your life where your thinking might not align with God's truth. Are there cultural influences or personal biases that need to be brought under Christ's lordship? Commit to regularly engaging with Scripture and Christian community to continually shape your worldview according to God's perspective.

Day 5: Living as Christ's Body
Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ephesians 4:11-16
Devotional: As believers, we are not just individuals saved by grace, we are part of Christ's body, the Church. Today's passages emphasize our interconnectedness and the importance of using our unique gifts to build up the body. Reflect on your role within your local church community. How are you using your God-given abilities to serve others and contribute to the body's growth? Consider reaching out to a fellow believer today to encourage them in their faith journey, recognizing that we are all vital parts of Christ's body.

Day 1: Walking with God
Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-9  
Devotional: Today's passage emphasizes the fundamental call to love God with all our heart, soul, and strength. This love is not a casual affection; it is an all-encompassing devotion that should permeate every aspect of our lives. As fathers, leaders, or mentors, we are called to model this love for God in our daily lives. Today, take a moment during your quiet time to reflect on how you can love God more fully with your entire being. Consider how you can integrate God's Word into your daily routines, conversations, and decisions. Think of ways to make God's truths visible in your home and life, just as the Israelites were instructed to bind them on their hands and write them on their doorposts.

Day 2: Being Present and Teaching
Reading: Proverbs 22:6
Devotional: The wisdom found in Proverbs emphasizes the importance of guiding our children along the right path. This guidance requires us to be present and intentional in our teaching. In our busy world, it's easy to become distracted or physically present without being fully engaged. Today, take some time to reflect on how you can be more fully present with your loved ones. Consider how you can use everyday moments to share wisdom and instill godly values. Remember, teaching doesn’t always take place in formal settings; often, it occurs during daily interactions, conversations, activities, and even conflicts. Pray for the discernment to recognize and seize these valuable teaching moments.

Day 3: Recognizing Children as Gifts
Reading: Psalm 127:3-5  
Devotional: Today's passage describes children as a heritage and a reward from the Lord. In a world that often views children as burdens or inconveniences, this perspective is revolutionary. Take a moment to reflect on the children in your life, be it your own or those you influence. How do you view them? Are you helping them discover their God-given purpose and potential? Consider ways to better nurture and guide these "arrows" so they can achieve the purpose God has for them. Pray for wisdom to recognize each child's unique gifts and to support them in flourishing within God's plan.

Day 4: Loving Your Spouse
Reading: Ephesians 5:25-33
Devotional: Paul’s instruction to husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church sets a high standard for marital love. This sacrificial and selfless love serves as a powerful example for our children and the world. Take a moment to reflect on your marriage or significant relationships. How can you demonstrate Christ-like love more fully? If you’re single, think about how you can model godly love in your other relationships. Remember, our ability to love others well flows from our relationship with God. Spend some time today embracing God’s love for you, and allow it to overflow into your relationships with others.

Day 5: Perseverance in Faith  
Reading: Hebrews 12:1-3  
Devotional: The Christian life is often compared to a race because it demands endurance and perseverance. Today's passage encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus as we run this race. As parents, leaders, or influencers, we may feel discouraged when those we care for stray from the path. However, we are called to persevere and never lose hope. Take a moment to reflect on areas in your life where you might be tempted to give up. How can focusing on Jesus help renew your strength and hope? Remember, God is faithful, and His timing is perfect. Pray for the endurance to continue running your race, trusting God with the outcomes.

Here is a 5-day Devotional Guide based on this week’s sermon from Joshua 5

Day 1: Renewing Our Covenant with God
Reading: Joshua 5:1-9
Devotional: Just as the Israelites renewed their covenant with God through circumcision, we too are called to renew our commitment to Him. This physical act symbolized a spiritual reality - setting oneself apart for God. Today, reflect on the areas of your life where you may have drifted from God. Are there "Egypts" in your life - old habits or sins that you need to leave behind? Remember, God is always ready to renew His covenant with us. Take time to recommit yourself to Him, ask for His grace to help you live a life that honors Him.

Day 2: Remembering God's Grace
Reading: Exodus 12:1-14, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8
Devotional: The Passover celebration reminded the Israelites of God's incredible deliverance from Egypt. For us as Christians, we have an even greater deliverance to remember - our salvation through Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb. Today, spend time meditating on God's grace in your life. How has He delivered you from sin and death? How has His grace transformed you? Let this remembrance fuel your gratitude and strengthen your faith. Just as the Israelites were called to forget Egypt, ask God to help you leave behind any lingering attachments to your old life of sin.

Day 3: Recognizing Who Fights Our Battles
Reading: Joshua 5:13-15, Ephesians 6:10-18
Devotional: Joshua's encounter with the commander of the LORD's army reminds us that our battles are ultimately spiritual, and God Himself fights for us. Like Joshua, we need to recognize God's supreme authority and approach Him with humility. Are you facing challenges that seem insurmountable? Remember, you're not fighting alone. God's power and His Heavenly armies are on your side. Today, surrender your battles to the Lord. Take off your sandals, metaphorically speaking, and stand in awe of His holiness and power.

Day 4: Pressing On Towards the Goal
Reading: Philippians 3:12-14, Hebrews 12:1-3
Devotional: Paul's words echo the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. As believers, we too are on a journey pressing on towards the ultimate goal of knowing Christ fully. What things from your past do you need to forget in order to move forward? What weights are holding you back from running your race effectively? Today, ask God to help you let go of past failures, hurts, or accomplishments that might be hindering your spiritual progress. Fix your eyes on Jesus and press on towards the prize of His heavenly calling.

Day 5: Living as God's Holy People
Reading: 1 Peter 1:13-16, Romans 12:1-2
Devotional: God called the Israelites to be set apart as His holy people, distinct from the nations around them. Today, He calls us to the same standard of Holiness. This doesn't mean perfection, but it does mean continually yielding our lives to God's transforming work. Reflect on areas where you might be conforming to the world rather than being transformed by the Word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you live out your identity as God's holy, set-apart child. Remember, holiness isn't about following rules, but about reflecting God's character in a world that desperately needs to see Him.

Here is a 5-day devotional guide based on this week’s sermon from Joshua 4.

Day 1: Remembering God's Faithfulness
Reading: Joshua 4:1-9
Devotional: Just as Joshua commanded the Israelites to set up memorial stones, we too are called to remember God's faithfulness in our lives. Reflect on a time when God showed up in a powerful way for you. How can you create a tangible reminder of that moment? Consider starting a journal or finding a small object to serve as your own "memorial stone." When doubts creep in, let these reminders strengthen your faith and testify to others of God's goodness.

Day 2: Stepping Out in Faith
Reading: Matthew 14:22-33
Devotional: Peter's walk on water reminds us that faith often requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Like Pastor Wes who had to lead unexpectedly at 21, God sometimes calls us to tasks that seem beyond our abilities. What "impossible" thing might God be asking you to do? Remember, just as He empowered Joshua and the disciples, God will equip you for whatever He calls you to. Take a moment to pray for courage to step out in faith today.

Day 3: The Power of Community
Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Devotional: The sermon emphasized how we "build in community." Our faith journeys are not meant to be solitary. Who are the people God has placed in your life to encourage and strengthen you? How can you be that person for someone else? Consider reaching out to a fellow believer today to share how God is working in your life. Let your story be a "living stone" that builds up the faith of others.

Day 4: Leaving the Past Behind
Reading: Philippians 3:12-14
Devotional: Joshua's act of burying stones in the Jordan symbolized leaving the past behind. Paul echoes this sentiment in his letter to the Philippians. What "old life" habits or mindsets do you need to leave behind to fully embrace God's calling? Take time to confess these to God, asking Him to help you press on toward the goal He has for you. Remember, in Christ, you are a new creation!

Day 5: God's Provision in Difficult Times
Reading: Exodus 16:1-18
Devotional: The manna in the Ark of the Covenant reminded Israel of God's provision. Even in our darkest moments, God is still working. Reflect on a time when you felt God's provision in an unexpected way. How can remembering His past faithfulness give you hope for current struggles? Write a prayer of thanksgiving for God's provision, both seen and unseen, in your life.

Here's a 5-day devotional guide based on the Sermon from Joshua 3:

Day 1: Preparing Our Hearts
Reading: Joshua 3:1-6
Devotional: Just as Joshua instructed the Israelites to consecrate themselves before crossing the Jordan, we too must prepare our hearts daily to encounter God. Take time today to reflect on areas of your life that need consecration. Are there habits, thoughts, or attitudes that are hindering your walk with God? Pray for God's guidance in purifying your heart and mind. Remember, God desires to do wonders among us, but we must be ready to receive them. How can you better position yourself to experience God's miraculous work in your life today?

Day 2: Listening to God's Voice
Reading: Psalm 119:105-112
Devotional: In the sermon, we were reminded of the importance of listening to God's voice through His Word. Today's passage describes God's Word as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Consider how you can make more time to engage with Scripture daily. Are there distractions you need to eliminate to hear God more clearly? Reflect on a time when God's Word provided guidance in a difficult situation. How can you cultivate a greater hunger for God's Word in your life?

Day 3: Stepping Out in Faith
Reading: Hebrews 11:1-6
Devotional: The Israelites had to step into the overflowing Jordan before the waters parted. Similarly, our faith often requires action before we see results. What "Jordan" are you facing in your life right now? A difficult decision? A daunting task? A call to ministry? Remember that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. How can you take a step of faith today, trusting that God will make a way where there seems to be no way?

Day 4: God's Sovereignty in Chaos
Reading: Psalm 46
Devotional: The sermon highlighted how God demonstrated His sovereignty over the chaotic waters of the Jordan. In our lives, we often face situations that seem out of control. Today's psalm reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Reflect on a time when you experienced God's peace in the midst of chaos. How can you cultivate a deeper trust in God's sovereignty, even when circumstances seem overwhelming?

Day 5: United in God's Mission
Reading: Ephesians 4:1-16
Devotional: As the Israelites crossed the Jordan together, they became unified as a nation. Today's passage emphasizes the importance of unity in the body of Christ. Consider your role in your local church community. How are you contributing to the mission of making disciples? Are there ways you can foster greater unity and collaboration within your church family? Remember, we are stronger together, and God often works through our collective faith and obedience to accomplish His purposes.

Here's a 5-day devotional guide based on the sermon on Joshua 2

Day 1: God Uses Unlikely People
Reading: Joshua 2:1-7
Devotional: God often chooses to work through people we might overlook or dismiss. Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, became an integral part of God's plan for Israel. Her story reminds us that God's grace extends to all, regardless of their past or social status. Reflect on how God has used unexpected people in your life to bless you or teach you important lessons. Consider how God might be calling you to serve, even if you feel unqualified. Remember, God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called.

Day 2: Faith That Leads to Action
Reading: James 2:14-26
Devotional: Rahab's faith wasn't just a mental assent to facts about God; it led her to take bold action to protect the Israelite spies. James points to her as an example of faith working together with actions. Today, consider how your faith is manifesting itself in your daily life. Are there areas where God is calling you to step out in faith and take action? Pray for courage to live out your beliefs, even when it's challenging or risky.

Day 3: God's Sovereignty in Our Lives
Reading: Romans 8:28-39
Devotional: The story of Rahab demonstrates God's sovereign control over history. He used her actions to further His plan for Israel and ultimately to bring about the lineage of Jesus. This passage in Romans reminds us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. Reflect on situations in your life that seemed negative at the time but that God used for good. How might this perspective change how you view current challenges?

Day 4: The Power of God's Word
Reading: Hebrews 4:12-13
Devotional: Rahab had heard stories about God's power and deliverance of Israel. These accounts of God's word and deeds led her to faith. The Bible tells us that God's word is living and active, able to penetrate our hearts. Consider how God's word has impacted your life. Are you regularly exposing yourself to Scripture? Commit to spending more time in God's word, allowing it to shape your thoughts and actions.

Day 5: God's Redeeming Love
Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Devotional: Rahab's story is ultimately one of redemption. God not only spared her life but also grafted her into the people of Israel and the lineage of Christ. This passage in Ephesians reminds us that we too have been saved by grace through faith, not by our own works. Reflect on God's redeeming work in your life. How has He brought you from death to life? Take time to thank God for His amazing grace and consider how you can share this message of hope with others who may feel beyond redemption.

Here's a 5-day devotional guide based on the sermon on Joshua 1:10-18

Day 1: Strength and Courage in God's Presence
Reading: Joshua 1:1-9
Devotional: Just as God commanded Joshua to be strong and courageous, He calls us to face life's challenges with boldness. Reflect on areas in your life where you need God's strength. Remember His promise: "I will never leave you nor forsake you." How does God's constant presence empower you to step out in faith? Today, identify one situation where you need courage and pray for God's strength to face it.

Day 2: Preparing for God's Call
Reading: Luke 9:57-62
Devotional: Jesus challenges us to follow Him wholeheartedly, without looking back. Consider the areas in your life where you might be hesitating to fully commit to God's call. Are there "goodbyes" you need to say or preparations you need to make to follow Christ more fully? Take time to reflect on what total commitment to Jesus looks like in your daily life. Pray for the grace to put your hand to the plow without looking back.

Day 3: Unity in the Body of Christ
Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
Devotional: Paul reminds us that we are all vital parts of Christ's body. Each member has a unique role that affects the whole. Reflect on your place in your local church or Christian community. How are you using your gifts to strengthen the body? Are there areas where you've been holding back? Ask God to show you how you can more fully engage in building up His church and supporting your fellow believers.

Day 4: Finding Rest in Christ
Reading: Matthew 11:28-30
Devotional: Jesus offers true rest for our souls. In a world full of busyness and anxiety, His invitation to come to Him is precious. What burdens are you carrying that you need to lay at Jesus' feet? Reflect on areas of your life where you're striving in your own strength rather than resting in Christ. Take time to visualize yourself handing over your worries and cares to Jesus, and receiving His peace in return.

Day 5: Obedience and God's Promises
Reading: Joshua 1:10-18
Devotional: The Israelites responded to Joshua with a promise of obedience, recognizing that following God's appointed leader was crucial to entering their promised rest. Consider your own walk with God. Are there areas where you're struggling to obey? Remember that God's commands are always for our good and tied to His promises. Reflect on a specific area where God is calling you to obey. Pray for the strength to follow through, trusting in His faithfulness to fulfill His promises in your life.

Here's a 5-day devotional guide based on the sermon on  Joshua 1:1-9

Day 1: Courage in the Face of Fear
Reading: Joshua 1:1-9

Devotional: As we begin this journey, we're reminded of Joshua's call to leadership. God's repeated command to "be strong and courageous" echoes through the ages, speaking to us today. Like Joshua, we often face transitions and challenges that can stir up fear. But God's promise remains: "I will be with you wherever you go." Today, reflect on areas in your life where you need courage. How might God be calling you to step out in faith? Remember, true courage isn't the absence of fear, but moving forward despite it, trusting in God's presence and promises.

Day 2: The Power of God's Word
Reading: Psalm 119:9-16

Devotional: Joshua was instructed to meditate on God's law day and night. This wasn't mere intellectual exercise, but a deep engagement with God's truth. Today's passage from Psalms reinforces the transformative power of Scripture. As you read, consider how you can more intentionally incorporate God's Word into your daily life. Perhaps it's memorizing a verse, setting aside dedicated time for Bible study, or discussing Scripture with others. Remember, the goal isn't just knowledge, but allowing God's Word to shape your heart, mind, and actions.

Day 3: Embracing New Beginnings
Reading: Isaiah 43:18-19

Devotional: The Israelites stood at the brink of a new chapter, preparing to enter the Promised Land. Similarly, God often calls us into new seasons, asking us to leave behind the familiar. Today's passage reminds us that God is always doing something new. Reflect on transitions in your own life. Where might God be leading you? What old patterns or mindsets might He be asking you to leave behind? Trust that even when the path ahead seems uncertain, God is already there, preparing the way.

Day 4: Obedience and God's Promises
Reading: James 1:22-25

Devotional: God's promises to Joshua were tied to obedience. It wasn't about perfection, but a willingness to follow God's leading. James echoes this, reminding us to be "doers of the word, and not hearers only." Today, examine areas where you might be resisting God's guidance. Are there commands in Scripture you find challenging? Ask God for the strength to move from mere knowledge to active obedience. Remember, true prosperity and success in God's eyes come from aligning our lives with His will.

Day 5: God's Presence in Every Step
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20

Devotional: We conclude our week with Jesus' Great Commission, which carries an echo of God's promise to Joshua: "I am with you always." This assurance of God's presence was vital for Joshua as he led the Israelites, and it remains crucial for us today. Whether facing major life decisions or navigating daily challenges, we're never alone. Spend time today simply being aware of God's presence. How might your perspective shift if you truly believed God was with you in every moment? Let this truth embolden you to live courageously, knowing that the God who called you will also equip and accompany you every step of the way.

Here's a 5-day Bible devotional guide based on the Joshua Background sermon:

Day 1: God's Faithfulness in His Promises
Reading: Joshua 1:1-9

Devotional: As we begin our journey through Joshua, we're reminded of God's unwavering faithfulness. Just as He kept His promise to bring the Israelites into the Promised Land, God remains faithful to us today. Reflect on the promises God has made in your life. Have you seen them fulfilled? Are you still waiting? Remember that God's timing is perfect, even when it doesn't align with our expectations. Today, choose to trust in God's faithfulness, knowing that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6).

Day 2: Courage in the Face of Fear
Reading: Numbers 13:25-33, 14:6-9

Devotional: Joshua and Caleb's courage stands in stark contrast to the fear of the other spies. In our lives, we often face giants that seem insurmountable. But like Joshua and Caleb, we're called to see our challenges through God's eyes, not our own limited perspective. What "giants" are you facing today? How might your outlook change if you truly believed that the Lord is with you? Take a moment to write down your fears, then pray for God's courage to face them, remembering that "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31).

Day 3: The Power of God's Presence
Reading: Exodus 17:8-16

Devotional: The battle against the Amalekites teaches us a profound lesson: our strength comes from God's presence, not our own abilities. Just as Joshua's victory depended on Moses' uplifted hands, our success in life's battles relies on staying connected to God. How often do you rely on your own strength instead of God's? Today, practice "lifting your hands" to God throughout the day, acknowledging your dependence on Him in every situation. Remember, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13).

Day 4: Embracing Our New Identity
Reading: Numbers 13:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17

Devotional: God changed Hoshea's name to Joshua, signifying a new identity and purpose. As believers, we too have been given a new identity in Christ. We are no longer defined by our past or our failures, but by who God says we are. Take some time to reflect on your identity in Christ. Are there areas where you're still living according to your old identity? Ask God to help you fully embrace your new identity as His beloved child, chosen and set apart for His purposes.

Day 5: Leading with God's Spirit
Reading: Numbers 27:15-23

Devotional: God chose Joshua as a leader because he had the Spirit in him. This reminds us that true leadership - whether in our homes, workplaces, or communities - comes from being filled with and led by God's Spirit. It's not about our own charisma or abilities, but about allowing God to work through us. How are you cultivating the presence of God's Spirit in your life? Today, pray for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, and ask God to guide you in every decision and interaction. Remember Jesus' words: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you" (Acts 1:8).

Here's a 5-day Bible Devotional  based on the Easter sermon:

Day 1: The Power of the Resurrection
Reading: Luke 24:1-12
Devotional: The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith. As we read about the women discovering the empty tomb, we're reminded that Jesus conquered death, offering us hope beyond our earthly lives. Today, reflect on how the reality of the resurrection impacts your daily life. Does it fill you with hope and courage? Ask God to help you live in the power of the resurrection, facing each day with the confidence that comes from knowing Christ has overcome the world.

Day 2: Walking with Jesus in Our Doubts
Reading: Luke 24:13-35
Devotional: The story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus shows us that Jesus meets us in our doubts and confusion. Like these disciples, we often struggle to recognize God's presence in our lives, especially during difficult times. Today, consider the areas in your life where you feel discouraged or uncertain. Invite Jesus to walk with you, opening your eyes to His presence and truth. Ask Him to make your heart burn within you as you encounter Him in Scripture and in your daily experiences.

Day 3: From Skepticism to Faith
Reading: John 20:24-29
Devotional: Thomas's journey from doubt to faith reminds us that God understands our skepticism and meets us where we are. Jesus didn't rebuke Thomas for his doubts but provided him with the evidence he needed. Today, bring your doubts and questions to God. Ask Him to strengthen your faith and help you trust Him even when you can't see or understand everything. Remember, blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.

Day 4: The Transforming Power of God's Word
Reading: Luke 24:44-49
Devotional: Jesus opened the disciples' minds to understand the Scriptures, showing how all of God's Word points to Him. This reminds us of the importance of studying Scripture and allowing it to transform our thinking. Today, approach your Bible reading with fresh eyes, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus on every page. How might a deeper understanding of God's Word change your perspective and actions? Pray for a burning heart that comes from encountering Christ in Scripture.

Day 5: Living as Witnesses of the Resurrection
Reading: Acts 1:6-11
Devotional: Before His ascension, Jesus commissioned His disciples to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. As believers, we too are called to share the good news of Christ's resurrection and its implications for humanity. Today, consider how you can be a witness for Christ in your sphere of influence. Ask God for opportunities to share your faith and for the courage to take them. Remember, you're not alone in this mission – Jesus promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age.

Here's a 5-day  devotional guide based on the sermon on April 13:

Day 1: The Humble King
Reading: Luke 19:28-40
Devotional: As we read about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we're struck by the contrast between earthly expectations and heavenly reality. The people expected a conquering king, but Jesus arrived on a humble donkey. This reminds us that God's ways are often different from our expectations. Reflect on areas in your life where you might be imposing your own expectations on God. How can you cultivate a heart of humility, ready to accept God's plans even when they differ from your own? Remember, true greatness in God's kingdom often comes through humility and service.

Day 2: The Peace that Surpasses Understanding
Reading: Philippians 4:4-7
Devotional: Jesus offers a peace that goes beyond worldly understanding. Unlike the Pax Romana, which was peace enforced by military might, Christ's peace reconciles us to God and transforms our hearts. In today's reading, Paul encourages us to bring everything to God in prayer, promising a peace that will guard our hearts and minds. What anxieties or worries are you carrying today? Bring them before God, trusting in His promise of peace. How might this divine peace change your perspective on life's challenges?

Day 3: The Stone the Builders Rejected
Reading: Psalm 118:19-29
Devotional: This psalm, quoted during Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, prophesies about the Messiah being rejected yet becoming the cornerstone. Jesus fulfilled this prophecy, being rejected by many yet becoming the foundation of our faith. Sometimes, what the world rejects, God exalts. Have you ever felt rejected or overlooked? Remember that God sees value where others might not. How can you align your perspective with God's, both in how you view yourself and others?

Day 4: Ambassadors of Reconciliation
Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Devotional: As followers of Christ, we're called to be ministers of reconciliation. God has reconciled us to Himself through Christ and now calls us to share this message with others. This is the essence of the Great Commission. Reflect on your role as Christ's ambassador. How can you represent Him faithfully in your daily interactions? Consider one practical step you can take today to share God's reconciling love with someone in your life.

Day 5: Expectations vs. Reality in God's Kingdom
Reading: Isaiah 55:8-13
Devotional: Throughout the Bible, we see God's ways often confounding human expectations. Isaiah reminds us that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and His subsequent path to the cross exemplify this truth. As you read Isaiah's words, consider how God has worked unexpectedly in your own life. Have there been times when God's plans seemed puzzling at first but proved wise in the end? How can you cultivate trust in God's higher ways, even when they don't align with your expectations? Pray for discernment to recognize God's hand at work, especially in challenging or confusing circumstances.

Here's a 5-day  devotional guide based on  April 6th sermon on Acts 8:26-40 

Day 1: A Heart for People
Reading: Luke 10:25-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan)

Devotional: Just as Philip demonstrated a heart for people regardless of their background, Jesus teaches us through the parable of the Good Samaritan to love our neighbors without prejudice. Reflect on how you can cultivate a genuine love for all people, even those different from you. Are there barriers in your heart preventing you from fully embracing others? Ask God to soften your heart and give you His perspective on the people around you. Consider one practical way you can show Christ's love to someone outside your usual social circle today.

Day 2: Being Led by the Spirit
Reading: Acts 8:26-40 (Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch)

Devotional: Philip's willingness to be led by the Spirit resulted in a divine appointment with the Ethiopian eunuch. How open are you to the Spirit's leading in your daily life? Reflect on times when you've felt God's prompting and how you responded. Are there areas where you're resistant to the Spirit's guidance? Ask God to increase your sensitivity to His voice and for the courage to obey promptly, even when it seems uncomfortable or inconvenient. Today, practice being attentive to the Spirit's whispers and be ready to act on what you hear.

Day 3: Pointing People to Jesus
Reading: Isaiah 53:1-12 (The Suffering Servant)

Devotional: Philip used Scripture to point the Ethiopian eunuch to Jesus. This passage in Isaiah profoundly reveals Christ's sacrificial love and redemptive work. As you read, meditate on how Jesus fulfilled these prophecies. How does this deepen your understanding and appreciation of the gospel? Consider how you might use this passage to explain Christ's love to others. Pray for opportunities to share the hope of Jesus with someone in your life, and for wisdom to use God's Word effectively in conversations about faith.

Day 4: Expecting God to Move
Reading: Acts 4:23-31 (The Believers Pray for Boldness)

Devotional: The early church prayed expectantly for God to move powerfully through them. How expectant are you in your prayers and evangelism efforts? Reflect on times when you've seen God work in unexpected ways. Are there areas where you've limited God due to doubt or past disappointments? Ask God to renew your faith and give you a spirit of bold expectancy. Today, pray specifically for God to use you to impact someone's life, and watch attentively for how He answers.

Day 5: Engaging Your World
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 (The Great Commission)

Devotional: Jesus commands us to go and make disciples of all nations. This echoes the urgency we see in Philip's ministry and Mr. Nee's question, "Why didn't you come sooner?" How seriously do you take this commission in your daily life? Reflect on the unique opportunities and relationships God has given you. Are there people in your sphere of influence who haven't heard about Jesus? Ask God to give you a renewed sense of purpose and urgency in sharing the gospel. Today, identify one person you can pray for and intentionally engage with about faith.

5-day devotional guide based on  March 30th  sermon on Acts 8:9-25

Day 1: The Power of the Gospel
Reading: Acts 8:4-8
Devotional: The gospel's power to transform lives and communities is evident in Philip's ministry to Samaria. Despite cultural barriers and a history of animosity between Jews and Samaritans, the message of Christ broke through, bringing joy and healing. Reflect on how the gospel has transformed your own life. Are there any "Samarias" in your life - places or people you've been hesitant to engage with the good news? Ask God for courage to share His love in unexpected places.

Day 2: Unity in Christ
Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22
Devotional: The early church faced the challenge of uniting diverse groups under Christ. Peter and John's journey to Samaria demonstrates God's desire for unity among believers. Paul's words to the Ephesians further emphasize how Christ breaks down dividing walls. Consider the divisions that exist in your church, community, or personal relationships. How can you be an agent of unity, reflecting Christ's reconciling work? Pray for God to help you see others as He does.

Day 3: True Faith vs. False Belief
Reading: James 2:14-26
Devotional: Simon the sorcerer's story raises questions about genuine faith. James teaches that true faith is evidenced by works. Examine your own faith journey. Are there areas where your beliefs haven't translated into action? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any disconnect between what you profess and how you live. Commit to taking one specific action this week that demonstrates your faith in a tangible way.

Day 4: The Role of the Holy Spirit
Reading: John 14:15-26
Devotional: The account in Acts 8 highlights the importance of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as our helper and guide. Reflect on your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Do you rely on His guidance daily? Are you aware of His presence in your life? Take time to invite the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh, empowering you for witness and service.

Day 5: Engaging Darkness with Light
Reading: Matthew 5:13-16
Devotional: Philip and the apostles didn't shy away from engaging with spiritual darkness. Jesus calls us to be salt and light in the world. Consider the "dark" areas in your community or sphere of influence. How can you bring Christ's light there? It might be through acts of kindness, speaking truth in love, or simply being present. Ask God for wisdom and opportunities to shine His light in practical ways this week.

5-day devotional guide based on  March 23rd  sermon on Acts 8:1-8


Day 1: Finding Purpose in Persecution
Reading: Acts 8:1-8
Devotional: As we read about the persecution of the early church, we're reminded that God can use even the most challenging circumstances for His glory. The scattering of believers led to the spread of the Gospel. Reflect on a difficult situation in your life. How might God be using it to further His kingdom? Ask for the courage to share your faith, even in the face of opposition.

Day 2: Everyday Evangelists
Reading: Matthew 28:16-20, Acts 4:13-20
Devotional: The early believers weren't trained theologians, yet they boldly shared the Gospel wherever they went. God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. Consider your own life - what unique opportunities do you have to share Christ's love? Pray for boldness and wisdom to be an "everyday evangelist" in your sphere of influence.

Day 3: Breaking Down Barriers
Reading: John 4:1-26, Galatians 3:26-28
Devotional: Philip's ministry to the Samaritans reminds us that the Gospel breaks down cultural and social barriers. Jesus Himself modeled this by speaking with the Samaritan woman. Are there people or groups you tend to avoid? Ask God to give you His heart for all people and the courage to build bridges across divides.

Day 4: Joy Amidst Chaos
Reading: Philippians 1:12-30, James 1:2-4
Devotional: Despite persecution, the early church experienced great joy. Paul later wrote about rejoicing in suffering. This supernatural joy comes from knowing Christ and understanding His greater purpose. What challenges are you facing? How might focusing on God's presence and promises bring you joy in the midst of difficulty?

Day 5: Demonstrating the Gospel
Reading: Matthew 5:13-16, 1 Peter 2:11-12
Devotional: Philip not only proclaimed the Gospel but demonstrated its power through signs and wonders. While we may not perform miracles, our lives should still demonstrate the transforming power of Christ. How can your actions this week display God's love and grace to others? Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you to live out the Gospel in tangible ways.

5-day devotional guide based on this week's sermon:

Day 1: Seeking the Lost
Reading: Luke 19:1-10
Devotional: Jesus' encounter with Zacchaeus reminds us that God actively seeks those who feel lost, overlooked, or unworthy. Like Zacchaeus, we may feel hindered by our past, our reputation, or our perceived shortcomings. Yet Christ calls us by name, inviting us into a transformative relationship with Him. Today, reflect on areas in your life where you feel "too far gone" for God's grace. Remember that Jesus came to seek and save the lost - including you. How can you respond to His invitation today?

Day 2: God's Unconditional Love
Reading: John 3:16-21
Devotional: "For God so loved the world" - these words encapsulate the heart of the Gospel. God's love isn't based on our worthiness or achievements, but on His character. He loves us despite our flaws and failures. Today, personalize John 3:16 by inserting your name: "For God so loved [Your Name]..." Let this truth sink deep into your heart. How does knowing you are unconditionally loved by God change your perspective on your life, your struggles, and your relationship with others?

Day 3: Faith That Transforms
Reading: Romans 4:18-25
Devotional: Abraham's faith, like Zacchaeus', was credited to him as righteousness. True faith isn't just intellectual assent, but a transformative trust that changes how we live. Zacchaeus' encounter with Jesus led to immediate, tangible changes in his actions. What areas of your life need to be transformed by faith? How can you demonstrate your trust in God through concrete actions today?

Day 4: From Outsider to Insider
Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22
Devotional: Many of us have felt like outsiders - in social situations, at work, or even in church. The beauty of the Gospel is that it breaks down dividing walls, bringing us near to God and to each other. Christ has made a way for us to move from outsiders to insiders in God's family. Reflect on times you've felt like an outsider. How does your identity in Christ change that perspective? How can you help others feel included in God's family today?

Day 5: Overcoming Obstacles to Grace
Reading: Romans 8:31-39
Devotional: Like the crowd's complaints about Jesus associating with Zacchaeus, there are often voices - internal and external - that try to convince us we're unworthy of God's love. Paul reminds us that nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ. What "noises" in your life try to drown out God's voice of love and acceptance? How can you tune your heart to hear God's voice above the crowd? Today, choose to believe that you are loved, accepted, and sought after by God, regardless of any obstacle.
