Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Seven
21/06/2024 Duración: 02minIn today's reflection on 3 John 1:4, John expresses his joy in seeing others follow Jesus. It's a sentiment shared by many parents, grandparents, and pastors. John's journey from a close-knit family to a diverse group of disciples taught him the value of unity in Christ. Despite differences, he recognizes the importance of relationships rooted in Jesus. So, consider: Are you using your personality as an excuse to avoid relationships? Instead of focusing on differences, let's embrace the value in learning from one another.You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Six
20/06/2024 Duración: 01minEver thought about what guarantees God offers? In today's chapter, we dive into the concept of guarantees. What assurances can we have from God? Hopefully better than failed products like Olestra or New Coke. As we ponder our requests to God, we may wonder if there's anything He always says yes to. In 2 John, John shares three things we can count on: grace, mercy, and peace—gifts from Jesus through our Heavenly Father because of the cross. Grace gives us what we don't deserve, mercy gives us relief from what we do deserve, and peace surpasses understanding. Take a moment to reflect on the grace, mercy, and peace you've received from Jesus.You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Five
19/06/2024 Duración: 01minI wonder how many of us have prayed and then thought, "I must not be doing it right." Or maybe you've prayed and didn't get what you wanted, wondering if there was sin or a lack of manners in your request. In my book "After Amen," I explore what comes after we hang up the phone with God. Is there something we can do to determine His response? While there are steps to take after prayer, the biggest lesson is that God always answers, though not always with a yes. Sometimes it's "yes," sometimes "yes, but more," sometimes "not now," and sometimes "no, because I love you too much." Have you ever considered the specificity of your prayers? Maybe it's time to focus and ask for something specific. Try it out and see what God does.You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Four
18/06/2024 Duración: 02minDid you know that even seemingly crazy ideas can lead to great decisions? I heard a story about a company struggling to speed up packing glass items because workers kept reading newspapers. Someone joked about hiring blind people, which turned out to be a brilliant solution. Similarly, Jesus' teachings might seem unusual, like when He said, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood is associated with me." The Spirit also guides us in seemingly unconventional ways, like forgiving and showing kindness. How do we know it's from the Spirit? It aligns with Jesus' teachings.

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Three
17/06/2024 Duración: 02minGet a fresh perspective on being chosen and how it applies to your everyday life in today’s devotional. I told a story in the book about a guy coming to the children's ministry, pointing at his kids, and saying, "Well, not you, not you, not you. I choose you." The joy in that kid's eyes was unforgettable. This is important for us as followers of Jesus. Some debate whether all are chosen or just a few. I believe Jesus' sacrifice invites us all. Jesus calls us to be God's children. Today, consider God as your Heavenly Father.You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty Two
16/06/2024 Duración: 01minIn today’s devotional, we're talking about the priceless gift of freedom and forgiveness Jesus gives us. Just like the goats in Leviticus—one slaughtered, one set free—Barabbas was guilty and freed, while guiltless Jesus was crucified. Because of Jesus, we receive atonement and freedom we couldn't afford. Think about this: Jesus gives us what we cannot buy. Is it freedom, guilt-free living, forgiveness from shame?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty One
15/06/2024 Duración: 01minEver feel lost in your own life? We can all relate. In today’s devotional, we're talking all about finding our way when we feel lost. Today's reading tells a funny story about Mutlu, who gets so drunk he joins his own search party looking for himself. We've all been lost in one way or another. In 1 John, we read about how Jesus is a light in the darkness, guiding us out of our own sin and confusion. Jesus, help me see all things by your light. What do you need to bring the light of Jesus to today?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Twenty
14/06/2024 Duración: 02minAre you a comparing addict? Constantly measuring yourself against others, tallying up what you believe you're owed? In today's reflection, we encounter Jesus addressing this very tendency with Peter and John. Jesus's response to Peter's comparison? "What is that to you? Follow me." Reflect on the areas where comparison creeps into your life. Is it in appearance, possessions, relationships, or talents?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Nineteen
13/06/2024 Duración: 02minHave you ever wondered why the stone was rolled away from the tomb? It wasn't so Jesus could get out; it was so we could look in and see that He wasn't there. Reflecting on Mary Magdalene's encounter at the empty tomb, we see a profound truth unfold: Jesus's resurrection not only revealed His victory over death but also opened the door for us to be adopted into the family of God. Despite her past, Mary was embraced into God's family, just as we are. Have you ever considered what it means to be accepted and adopted by the Father?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Eighteen
12/06/2024 Duración: 01minDid you know that you are someone Jesus trusts? It's not just about being loved or expected much of, but Jesus actually places his trust in us. Reflecting on John's account, we see that Jesus entrusted his message and mission to his followers. Just as he trusted John with caring for his mother, he entrusts us with spreading his message further. Have you ever considered yourself as someone Jesus trusts with a mission, a vision, his goal?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Seventeen
11/06/2024 Duración: 01minDid you know that you are loved as much as Jesus? Just as the Father expressed His love for Jesus through audible affirmations, His love for us knows no bounds. Imagine living each moment enveloped in the knowledge that you are cherished by God just as Jesus is. What transformations would occur if we truly embraced this reality?You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site

Friend of God: Daily Devotional - Day Sixteen
10/06/2024 Duración: 02minWhile we may have grown up believing God resides solely in church buildings, Scripture reveals a different reality. God's presence transcends physical spaces; He dwells within us through His Spirit. Jesus himself spoke of the Spirit's arrival, promising something even greater than His physical presence. So, have you ever considered the Spirit as better than Jesus? It's a remarkable concept, yet Jesus affirmed it. While some may long for audible voices or visible signs, the Spirit's whispers within our hearts bring us even closer to God. As you pray today, consider thanking the Holy Spirit for His closeness and be mindful of God's presence throughout your day.You can purchase the book here: https://pastorrustygeorge.square.site
