Jack Hibbs - Watch Sermon: Wonder - Part 4 (1 Timothy 3:16)
John Hagee (October-10-2021) Daily Devotional: 1 Timothy 6:18 - Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share…
One person who sees a need and is willing to try can change everything. A simple willingness to try can make all the difference.
Over forty years ago, Pastor John Hagee invited a nine-year-old boy to church. The youngster responded that he would love to go to church, but he did not have a ride. Pastor Hagee promised to find a ride for him. When he asked the church for a volunteer, a teenage girl raised her hand.
Every service the boy could attend, that young lady made certain that he made it to church. From the outside, it looked like a little thing, a mere good deed. In reality, she was a world changer.
That nine-year-old’s path changed the moment He surrendered his life into God’s hands. The course of his family destiny was altered for eternity. He became a pediatrician who has treated thousands of patients. For twenty years, he has volunteered as a Cornerstone Church cameraman so people around the world can tune in to worship. Thousands of people have been impacted by Jesus because one young girl was willing to try.
You are not responsible for a whole eternal destiny, but would you meet just one small need today? What difference could you make if you were only willing to try?
Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May God give you the courage to try. As you listen to His voice, He will bring you victory after victory. You are a difference maker!

John Hagee (July 05 2022) Daily Devotional: 1 Timothy 6:11 - But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
Satan is an enemy who attempts to draw us in, to bring us near. Since he is a roaring lion who walks about seeking whom he may devour, he knows that he needs to be close enough to pounce (1 Peter 5:8). When it comes to fleeing from temptation, Joseph provides us a prime example.
Young Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery; he was bought by Potiphar, the Egyptian captain of the guard. Because the Lord was with Joseph, Potiphar saw that everything he put his hand to prospered. He made him overseer of his household. Since he was a handsome man, he caught the eye of Potiphar’s wife. Day after day, she attempted to seduce him. Day after day, he refused her. He would not stoop to dishonor Potiphar’s trust or to sin against God (Genesis 39:9).
One day, when no one else was around, as Joseph went into the house to work, she grabbed hold of his garment and would not let go as she tempted him yet again. He resisted her pleas, pulled away, and left his garment in her hand as he fled. There was no shame in running away!
Instead, the Apostle Paul said to “pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.” He goes even further when he encourages young Timothy to “fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life…” (I Timothy 6:12). When we submit to God and resist the devil, James tells us that he will flee from us (James 4:7)!
In all the places where Satan would seek to entice you to sin or where he would draw you close enough to pounce and devour, resist him. When we submit to God first, we do not stand to resist in our own power.
Blessing: Heavenly Father, help me to avoid even the appearance of evil in my life. Help me submit to You so that I may resist the devil and set him to flight. Help me to walk worthy of this holy calling. In the name of Jesus…amen.

Jentezen Franklin 1 Timothy 2:2 - Prayer. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 1 Timothy 2:2
John Hagee (October-18-2022) Daily Devotion: 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron
We are a nation in need of Truth. If we reject that Truth, we will live under a lie.
Paul warned that in the last days, men would love themselves and their money above all else. They would be braggarts and blasphemers, disobedient to their parents and despisers of good.
He foretold a generation more knowledgeable than any other before that would drift ever farther from the Truth. Making a show of godliness, their lives will deny its power and validity (II Timothy 3).
In today’s verse, the Spirit expressly directed Paul to share that in the last days, even believers will fall for lies of deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Their consciences will become so seared, they will not be able to comprehend Truth.
Our culture has accepted false narratives and succumbed to deception until we are numb to the lies. We have fallen prey to Satan’s lies until our national conscience has been seared.
The best way to identify a counterfeit is to be so acquainted with the Truth that we cannot be fooled by any worthless imposter. May God’s Word grow such deep roots in our lives that we will never be lured away to depart from the faith.
Today's Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May the truth of God outweigh every lie of Satan in your life to make you free indeed!
