The 8 Minute Devotion

Wait with Patience (Romans 8:25)

How do we receive the promises of God?  By waiting for them, with patience!  As we wait in hope and faith, we know we will receive God's good gifts - join Pastor Cameron as he looks at this on today's podcast.

Why Is the Bible Divided into the Old and New Testament? (Listener Question Friday)

Why is the Bible divided into the Old and New Testament?  Is it true that there is a staggering difference between God's character and behavior in these two parts of the Bible?  Pastor Cameron answers these questions on today's podcast, as we see that the Old Testament was pointing ahead to what Christ would do, while the New Testament looks backwards at what Christ did do.  God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever!  

Hope that is not Seen (Romans 8:24)

Hope grows best in the dark - it grows when we do not see the answers we are looking for!  It is in times of difficulty that we can learn to trust in the character of God and hope in His unfailing goodness.  Join Pastor Cameron for more on today's podcast.  

The Redemption of our Bodies (Romans 8:22-23)

Join Pastor Cameron for today's podcast, as he looks at the truth God will redeem His children in the spirit, soul, and body!  We should eagerly await this redemption, just as creation is waiting for it.  We have been given a firstfruit of God's redemption, but so much more is coming our way - the best is yet to come!

Creation Is Waiting (Romans 8:20-21)

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron discusses the ways creation was affected by the sin of the human race.  Creation itself was placed under the curse of sin, but when God restores mankind to full glory creation will be healed as well!  Death, decay, and corruption will forever fade away as healing and wholeness comes to the entire universe.  

The Children of God (Romans 8:19)

All of creation is waiting for the glory God will manifest in and through His redeemed sons and daughters.  The future is unimaginably bright, for all who put their trust in Christ!  Join Pastor Cameron as He discusses this coming glory on today's podcast.  

Why Are There So Many Versions of the Bible? (Listener Question Friday)

Pastor Cameron answers a listener question today, "Why are there so many versions of the Bible?"  We discover that the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, but the intent of the Scriptures was always for God to communicate to man.  The different versions we have today are avenues whereby God's Word can be made clear in our modern age.  

Light Affliction (Romans 8:18)

Our problems will not only be eclipsed by our future glory - it is actually our perseverance through the trials that works the glory into our lives!  Just as gold is purified through fire, so our faith is purified through intense struggle.  Join Pastor Cameron on today's episode as he shares personal examples of how he has seen this principle at work.  

The Glory Is So Much Greater than the Suffering (Romans 8:18)

We all go through various trials and suffering here on earth, but as believers we have an incredible promise - all of this pain isn't even worth comparing to the glory that is on our way!  Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us that none of our pain is forgotten; our suffering enables us to identify and ultimately reign with Christ in His glory.  

Heirs (Romans 8:17)

Pastor Cameron looks at an amazing truth on today's podcast - we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ!  There is no need for us to live life grasping after earthly recognition or rewards when we realize the incalculable treasure we already possess in Christ.  Everything we need or ever will need has already been provided for us!
