Hebrews 13 shows us that the Christian life isn’t just lived in the big moments—it’s lived in the everyday choices of love, hospitality, contentment, and trust. Today we remember that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life isn’t a sprint—it’s a long race. But we don’t run alone. Christ has already gone before us, and a great cloud of witnesses surrounds us with encouragement.
The old sacrifices could only cover sin for a time. But in Hebrews 9, we hear the good news that Jesus entered the true sanctuary once for all — not with the blood of animals, but with His own, to make us clean forever.
Hebrews 8 reminds us that the old covenant could show us our sin, but only the new covenant in Christ can take it away. In Jesus, God doesn’t just give us new rules — He gives us a new heart and an unbreakable promise of mercy.
On Veterans Day, we give thanks for those who have served and sacrificed for peace. In Hebrews 7, we remember that Christ, our eternal High Priest, still intercedes for His Church Militant and has already secured victory for His Church Triumphant.
When faith feels shaky, Hebrews 6 reminds us that our hope isn’t tied to how tightly we hold on to God—it’s anchored in how faithfully He holds on to us.
In Hebrews 3, we’re warned not to harden our hearts — not because God is harsh, but because His Word is alive. Today we hear the gentle reminder to keep listening to the voice of Jesus, who is faithful even when we wander.
Hebrews 2 reminds us that Jesus didn’t save us from a distance. He became one of us — sharing our flesh, our temptations, and even our suffering — so that He could bring us home to the Father.
In a world full of voices, Hebrews 1 reminds us that God has spoken once and for all through His Son. Jesus isn’t just another messenger — He is the message: the radiance of God’s glory and the Savior who still speaks grace into our lives.
In one of Paul’s shortest letters, we find one of the clearest pictures of what grace really does. The letter to Philemon shows us that the Gospel doesn’t just forgive — it restores, heals, and makes family out of strangers.
We live in a world obsessed with self-improvement. But in Titus 3, Paul reminds us that what we truly need isn’t a better version of ourselves — it’s a brand-new heart, washed clean and made new through the mercy of Christ.
On Reformation Day, we remember how God’s Word brings light and freedom to His Church. In Titus 1, Paul urges believers to hold firmly to that Word, because sound teaching isn’t just about right doctrine—it’s about real life in Christ.
At the end of his life, Paul looks back not with regret but with confidence in Christ. In 2 Timothy 4, we hear his final charge: keep the faith, run the race, and trust the Lord who has already finished it for you.
It’s easy to confuse strength with control or confidence. But in 2 Timothy 2, Paul reminds us that true strength doesn’t come from willpower — it comes from grace. God’s grace doesn’t make us passive; it makes us steadfast.
The world changes fast, but the Word of God doesn’t. In 2 Timothy 3, Paul reminds us that Scripture isn’t just ancient truth — it’s living truth that anchors us when everything else feels uncertain.
In 2 Timothy 1, Paul reminds Timothy that sincere faith doesn’t start from scratch—it’s handed down, lived out, and strengthened by the Spirit. Today we reflect on the legacy of faith that shapes us and the call to pass it on.
Growth in faith doesn’t happen overnight. In 1 Timothy 4, Paul urges believers to train in godliness — to stay grounded in the Word and keep running the race with endurance. It’s not about perfection, but persistence in grace.
What makes someone worth following? In 1 Timothy 3, Paul describes leaders who aren’t perfect, but steady—men and women whose lives reflect Christ’s grace in everyday faithfulness. In today’s devotion, Pastor Lane shares about his mentor, Pastor Mike Ramey, whose bold faith shaped his calling into ministry, and how the Church continues to raise up faithful servants through the LCMS’ Set Apart to Serve initiative.

In a world that thrives on division, prayer is one of the most countercultural things we can do. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul calls believers to pray for everyone—even those we struggle to understand or agree with—because Jesus died for all.
Ever feel like God couldn’t possibly use someone like you? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul reminds us that Jesus didn’t come looking for the qualified—He came to save sinners and show the world what His mercy can do.
