Scripture Focus:   Luke 5:20 Thought : Draw upon faith and follow the grace giver… Jesus! Devotional:                                                                                  In Luke 5:17-26, a paralyzed man was carried by faithful friends into the presence of Jesus, lowered through a roof to receive healing. But what Jesus did first surprises many of us: He forgave the man’s sins. Before addressing the brokenness of the body, Jesus addressed the more profound need—th

Scripture: Luke 5:17 Thought for the Day : Be the quiet wind of healing for a weary soul today . Devotional: When we hear of healing, our minds often race to dramatic miracles—blind eyes opened, the lame walking, diseases erased in a moment. But in Luke 5:17, we’re reminded that healing is not always about physical transformation. The same power of the Lord to heal sometimes operates in quieter, subtler ways through His people today. Each believer carries this power to bring

Scripture Reference:   Luke 5:37-39 Mark 2:21-22 2 Corinthians 5:17 Romans 8:27 Devotional: New wine can't thrive in old vessels—your soul wasn't meant to carry a life transformed by grace and the weight of the old nature. Fracture is inevitable. What did Jesus mean when He talked about new wine and old wineskins? In a time when wine was stored in leather skins, people understood that new wine—still fermenting and expanding—needed new, flexible wineskins. Otherwise, the press

Scripture : Luke 5:27-28 Thought: Your salvation testimony isn’t measured by its drama, but by your transformation. Jesus called—you followed. That’s the power of grace. Devotional : At first glance, this story seems simple—Jesus calls, and Matthew follows. Unlike Peter’s dramatic call, when Jesus directed them to cast their nets into deeper water, they drew out a miraculous abundance of fish. (Luke 5:1-11). Yet, the miracle is there, quiet but no less powerful. The Miracle

Scripture : Luke 5:3-7 Thought :  Obedience in the ordinary opens the door to the extraordinary. Devotional: Jesus may require us to do things that seem senseless when processed through earthly reasoning—but He always has a kingdom purpose. When Simon Peter cast his nets into the deep at Jesus’ instruction, he had every reason to object. He was an experienced fisherman who had worked all night without success. To his human reasoning, casting again was pointless. But when he o

Scripture : Luke 5:3-5 He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing! But at Your word, I’ll let down the nets .” Thought : Don’t let your surroundings or circumstances distract y

Scripture Focus : Luke 5:1–3 (CSB) Thought for the Day :  God often meets us in the mundane—and turns weariness into wonder. Devotional : God’s Word prepares us to view the ordinary activities of our lives through a spiritual lens. In every daily task, we should be cognizant that He is working even when He is silent. Sometimes we expect God to shout over the noise of our lives, but more often, He whispers in the quiet corners of our routines. In Luke 5, Jesus meets Simon—not

Scripture Focus: Luke 5:13 Thought for the Day: Jesus didn’t just heal the leper—He restored him. In the pain standing before Him, Jesus saw the reason He came to redeem: sin, suffering, rejection, and hopelessness. His touch still heals. His grace still restores. Devotional : In Luke 5, we find a man whose story reflects the very reason Jesus came to earth. He was not only physically afflicted with leprosy but also emotionally, socially, and spiritually devastated. When Jesu

Scripture : Luke 5:29-32 Thought : We carry the message of hope in Christ—so let us lead others to the true Physician of souls by loving them deeply and investing in their lives. Devotional: Jesus did ministry differently. While most rabbis sought the brightest from the finest families, Jesus chose fishermen, tax collectors, and sinners. He wasn’t interested in tradition or prestige—His love for those in spiritual blindness drove him. When Levi (Matthew) hosted a banquet, he

Scripture : Matthew 5:43-48 Thought : As Christ followers, to love as He loves is to be shaped by His nature. … Therefore, loving our enemies reveals whether or not we possess the heart of God. Devotion : The world has always resisted Christ and His followers. Hatred, slander, and persecution are nothing new. So, loving those who love us back is a picture of the world—it requires little sacrifice. But Jesus calls His followers to a radical love, one that mirrors the very char

Scripture : Hebrews 6:19 Thought : When storms batter your heart, remember: your stability is not found in your strength but in the One who holds you fast. Devotional: Life often feels like a restless sea. Storms come with little warning—financial strain, broken relationships, sudden illness, or overwhelming anxiety. When the winds of uncertainty rage and storms of uncertainty threaten to pull us away—fear, illness, broken relationships, or loss. The question becomes, “ What

Scripture : John 15:10 Thought : Self fractures. Christ makes whole. Therefore, abide in Christ—where your true identity is restored. Devotional: We were created to be whole in Christ—to find our identity anchored in Him, drawing life and purpose from His love. Yet the world pulls us toward self-rule, promising freedom but delivering fragmentation. When we choose to live divided—partly for Christ, partly for self—we experience what Scripture calls being “double-minded and uns
