The 8 Minute Devotion

The Narrow Gate (Matthew 7:14)

Jesus said that the narrow gate leads to salvation - He is the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life.  Following Jesus requires taking up our cross and living a life of obedience and discipleship, as Pastor Cameron reminds us on today's episode.  

The Wide Gate (Matthew 7:13)

On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron looks at the words of Jesus, seeing that the "wide gate" leads to destruction.  All attempts to find justification and salvation outside of Jesus lead to death.  The wide gate may be the easy way in the short-term, but it leads to eternal separation from God.  

The Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12)

The Golden Rule is not meant to be just a sentimental saying that we place on a plaque on our wall, but rather a reality that is lived out by the people of God!  We can truly treat others in the way we wish to be treated, and on today's episode Pastor Cameron reminds us of this great truth.  

Are We Born Good People? (Listener Question Friday)

Are we good people who do bad things, or bad people who do good things?  Join Pastor Cameron as we answer a listener question on today's episode, discovering that while we are born sinners, we were also made in the image of God.  As we are redeemed we pass over from being sinners to being saints.  

Good Gifts (Matthew 7:9-11)

If natural fathers and mothers know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more does our perfect Heavenly Father know how to provide for all that we need?  Join Pastor Cameron for today's episode as he reminds us that when we pray, our Good Father gives us good gifts!  

Knock (Matthew 7:7-8)

We knock to get someone's attention - knocking in prayer is exactly the same.  It's our way of demonstrating to the Lord that we are committed to receiving an answer to our prayers - join Pastor Cameron as we discuss this on today's podcast.  

Seek (Matthew 7:7-8)

Those who seek will find - those who passively sit back will not!  Join Pastor Cameron as we see the keys to seeking the Lord for miracles, blessings, and His very presence.  

Ask (Matthew 7:7-8)

One key to prayer is to ask and keep asking - miracles come to those who persistently ask largely of the Lord.  Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to make bold requests in Jesus' name!  

Pearls Before Swine (Matthew 7:6)

There is a difference between the holy and the profane, the righteous and the unrighteous.  On today's episode, Pastor Cameron encourages us to be separate from that which is wicked.  

See Clearly (Matthew 7:5)

Before we help others with the speck in their eye, we must allow the Lord to take the log out of our own eye! Pastor Cameron reminds us of the need for personal holiness, and the fact that we can help others once we deal with our own issues.
