The 8 Minute Devotion

Strength from Zion (Psalm 20:2)

When David went out to battle, he was not fighting on his own strength - the Lord was with him! Join Pastor Cameron as he encourages us to fight spiritual battles with the strength that comes from God's very presence!

The Name of the Lord Protects Us (Psalm 20:1)

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, as Pastor Cameron reminds us on today's podcast. The Lord's names reveal and remind us of His character and His ways!

The Lord Answers and the Lord Grants! (Psalm 20:1-9)

Join Pastor Cameron as he begins breaking down Psalm 20. The Lord answers and grants the prayers of His people! 

Jacob Was Finally Straightened by God (Isaiah 44:2)

Pastor Cameron brings our "From Jacob to Israel" series to an end by looking at the final name Jacob was given - Jeshurun. Jeshurun means "straight" - the Lord transformed Jacob until his character was finally completely straightened and upright!

Jacob's Limp (Hebrews 11:21)

As a result of his encounter with God, Jacob's hip was put out of place and he walked with a limp. This limp was a constant reminder of his need to rely on the Lord's strength and not his own, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today! 

Jacob Was Persistent (Genesis 32:22-30)

The core characteristic of Jacob's life that led to his transformation was his persistence. He refused to let go until God blessed and transformed him - join Pastor Cameron as he exhorts us to have a similar determination! 

Vessels of Mercy and Vessels of Wrath (Romans 9:22-23)

God used Laban as a vessel of wrath in Jacob's life. We never want to be used as a vessel of wrath but rather as a vessel of mercy, as Pastor Cameron encourages us today. 

Jacob Was Corrected by God (Genesis 29:25-27)

Join Pastor Cameron for a new week on the podcast. In God's mercy, He revealed the sin and deception in Jacob's life by bringing him to an even greater deceiver, Laban. 

The House of God (Genesis 28:18-22)

On today's episode, Pastor Cameron discusses how Jacob named the city where he had his vision Bethel, meaning "the house of God." As believers, we need to remember that everywhere we go should become a home for God's presence!

Jacob Had Visions of God (Genesis 28:11-17)

Another aspect of Jacob's transformation was that he had visions from God - when God spoke to Him it gave Jacob confidence that God would be working through the trials that lay ahead. Join Pastor Cameron as he considers Jacob's vision on today's episode.
