Daily Devotions

Day 1: The Power of Jesus' Words

Devotional: Today, let's talk about a sermon that has been remembered for thousands of years. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is like the best pep talk, teaching us how to live right. People back then were amazed because Jesus spoke with authority. That means when He talked, people knew His words were important. He wasn't quoting others; He was speaking directly to them. If you ask Jesus to guide you today, He will. Just like He fed the hungry back then, He can feed our hearts with wisdom right now.

Day 2: Recognizing Jesus' Authority

Devotional: Great leaders often don’t need to shout about their power. People naturally recognize it. Jesus’ way was different from other teachers. While others quoted important people, Jesus was the important person! He said things like, “You’ve heard it said, but I say…” making it clear He knew what was right. When we recognize that Jesus is the ultimate authority in our lives, we start to see His ways as a new way to live, full of purpose and direction.

  1. What does it mean to you to acknowledge Jesus as the ultimate authority in your life?
  2. Think about a time when you learned something new about God. How did it change you?
