God Promises Freedom 16.07.2026 13мин

As we enter the middle of our series on God’s promises, today we’re going to look at his promise of freedom. Every day this world tries to chain us to its ways, holding us down where God is trying to lift us up. But in Jesus, we’ve been offered total and complete freedom. And in the Spirit we’re offered a continual pathway to exercise that freedom. Whether it’s fear, lust, pride, or something else, God has real freedom for you today in his presence. May chains break today in light of God’s glorious grace.Your gift makes First15 possible!More from First15Read today's devotional or listen to today's worship song at First15.org/todayDownload the First15 appDonate to First15 at supportfirst15.orgShare a testimony or feedback at podcast@first15.orgSubscribe to First15Check out our new Guided Prayers podcast - Subscribe for new episodes every Monday!

God Promises His Compassion 15.07.2026 11мин

On today’s First15, we’re going to look at God’s promise of compassion. Few things draw me nearer to God, faster, than a fresh revelation of his compassion. In a world that judges us so quickly, and so often fails to offer second chances, compassion is in short supply. May we not only get a revelation of God’s compassion in our own lives today, but may God mold and fashion us into his likeness, that we would be a people of compassion.Your gift makes First15 possible!More from First15Read today's devotional or listen to today's worship song at First15.org/todayDownload the First15 appDonate to First15 at supportfirst15.orgShare a testimony or feedback at podcast@first15.orgSubscribe to First15Check out our new Guided Prayers podcast - Subscribe for new episodes every Monday!

Plans 09.07.2026 13мин

Willing, joyful obedience comes from a place of deep-rooted trust in the character and intentions of your God.

Trustworthy 06.07.2026 12мин

Trust is something we are not created to give away lightly. We value trust like we value our own lives, constantly scrutinizing others to see if they're worthy of our trust. But still we are made to do life with help. We are made to place our trust in that which will provide us with more life, joy, and peace. I pray that this week you and I will discover how trustworthy our heavenly Father is. I pray that we will willingly hand over control of our lives to a capable, loving, and near God. And I pray we will experience the abundant life that can only come through placing our trust in a God who gives up everything for relationship with us.Right now, your gift will go twice as far through a generous $10,000 Matching Grant!More from First15Read today's devotional or listen to today's worship song at First15.org/todayDownload the First15 appDonate to First15 at supportfirst15.orgShare a testimony or feedback at podcast@first15.orgSubscribe to First15Check out our new Guided Prayers podcast - Subscribe for new episodes every Monday!

God’s Heart to Meet with Man at Pentecost 04.07.2026 11мин

As we near the end of our week on God’s heart to meet with man, we look today at Pentecost. The day of Pentecost was a major fulfillment of God’s desire to meet with us.

We see God’s desire to dwell with a people satisfied as his Spirit fills them and remains with them forever.

God’s Heart to Meet with Man: The Woman Caught in Adultery 03.07.2026 11мин

Have you ever believed the lie that your sin makes you unlovable to God? I think we all have at one time or another. We will look today at the story of the woman caught in adultery. For some reason, every time I read this story it surprises me again. God is oftentimes different than we expect, much kinder in fact. May today be no different.

God’s Heart to Meet with Moses 01.07.2026 13мин

Oftentimes we look at Old Testament stories of man’s encounters with God and grow jealous. We question why God doesn’t show up in the way he did with Moses for us now. There is a portion of relationship, encounter and intimacy available to us with God today that men of the Old Testament could have never dreamed of. It is my hope and prayer that you leave today having experienced the richness, unity and oneness with the Spirit of God you would made for.A new $10,000 Matching Grant has just been released, which means your gift will go twice as far to create these daily moments of connection with God.More from First15Read today's devotional or listen to today's worship song at First15.org/todayDownload the First15 appDonate to First15 at supportfirst15.orgShare a testimony or feedback at podcast@first15.orgSubscribe to First15Check out our new Guided Prayers podcast - Subscribe for new episodes every Monday!

God’s Heart to Meet with Gideon 30.06.2026 11мин

Have you ever felt incompetent for the work God sets before you? The mission and call of God on our lives can seem daunting and impossible. Know that Gideon felt that way, and it’s okay if you do too. But God wants to speak courage and empowerment to our hearts today that he will be with us, moving through us every step of our journey.

God’s Heart to Meet with David 29.06.2026 12мин

Throughout Scripture we see countless examples of God meeting with man and countless lives being transformed as the result. These examples are in Scripture to stir our faith and fill us with a desire to meet with our Creator. When we read about the life of David, we should be filled with a longing to live as he did, centered around meeting with our heavenly Father. When we read about Gideon or Moses, we should long to know our God as they did. When we read about Jesus coming down to us or his heart for the woman caught in adultery, we should respond by pursuing encounters with our Savior. And when we read of Pentecost and Jesus’ second coming, we should seek out the fullness of God’s presence available to us on this earth in preparation for the age that is to come. May your heart be filled with a wholehearted desire to pursue meeting with God this week.A new $10,000 Matching Grant has just been released, which means your gift will go twice as far to create these daily moments of connection with God.More from First15Read today's devotional or listen to today's worship song at First15.org/todayDownload the First15 appDonate to First15 at supportfirst15.orgShare a testimony or feedback at podcast@first15.orgSubscribe to First15Check out our new Guided Prayers podcast - Subscribe for new episodes every Monday!
