In our final day of this week-long series seeking to put our faith to action, today we’re going to look at the victory we have in God’s love. As God’s people, he’s inviting us into his victory, a victory we so desperately need. May God establish us in his power today, and may chains fall off us and others as God guides us into a lifestyle of victory in him.

First15 Worship is here!

As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:

“Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”

At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.

Love Hopes Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

As we near the end of our series on love does, today we’re going to look at the role of hope in putting our faith into action. You and I need hope more than ever. We need God to give us fresh vision for the work he’s doing and will do in the world around us. And we need him to empower us to share that vision with others, that our perspective would be grounded in his goodness. May God fill us as his people with fresh hope in his presence today.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Corinthians 13:7, and today's worship is Real Thing by River Valley Worship.

Love Forgives Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

In today’s devotional, we’re going to look at the role of forgiveness in putting our love into action. In God we have forgiveness for every sin we can commit. And that forgiveness not only washes us clean, but empowers us to become like our great Forgiver.

Every day we’re wronged in some way. And every day is an opportunity to show others forgiveness, not because they deserve it, but because loving forgiveness is the way of our Good Shepherd, the author and founder of our faith. May God empower us to forgive as he does today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 4:32, and today's worship is Landslide by Rita Springer.

Love Encourages May 31, 2021

Show notes

In today’s devotional we’re going to look at the role of encouragement in putting our love into action. In a world that constantly seems to beat us down, we’re in need of some real encouragement. God has an encouraging word to speak to everyone around you. And if we’ll make space to listen, he longs to share that word with us that we might see his kingdom advancing in the heart of another.

May God encourage us today, and empower us to encourage another as we make space for his loving presence.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 10:23-25, and today's worship is Catch Me Singing by The Worship Initiative feat. John Marc Kohl.

Love Makes Time for Others May 30, 2021

Show notes

In our third day of this series exploring how to put our faith into action, we’re looking at how we can love others by simply making time for them. The busier our schedules get, the harder it can be to make time for the needs of others. But we see in Jesus someone who while holding the power to save and heal the world, made time for the one. May God grant us his perspective and fashion us into his likeness today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 8:40-42, and today's worship is Never Be The Same by First15 Worship feat. Ashley & Bryan McCleery.

Love Is Present May 29, 2021

Show notes

As we continue this week’s focus, seeking to put love into action, today we’re going to look at how simply being present can make all the difference in the life of another. As our world becomes more and more distracted, and takes less time to notice what’s happening in the life of another, may God empower us as his people to simply be present today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:7, and today's worship is This Close by Steffany Gretzinger.

Action Fueled By Love May 28, 2021

Show notes

James 2:26 tells us, “Faith apart from works is dead.” If we are going to experience the fullness of life offered to us through our faith we must be those who put our words into action. We must not profess to love God on Sunday and live as if he isn’t present, real, or good on Monday. May your faith come alive this week as you seek to be a doer of the word.

Our Scripture for today comes from James 2:26, and today's worship is Follow You Anywhere by Passion feat. Kristian Stanfill.

Loving the Church May 27, 2021

Show notes

As we wrap up our week on loving people, we look today at how we can love the Church as God does. Jesus says we will be known by the way we love each other. Would people know you’re a Christian by the way you love your brothers and sisters? People are messy, it’s true. We all are. And yet Jesus saw our worth and loved us in the midst of our messiness. How can you mimic that same love today as you seek to love his Church? Today we’ll look at the perspective and affections of Jesus for his people. May our hearts and minds be transformed as a result.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 13:35, and today's worship is Build Your Kingdom by First15 Worship feat. Emily Huffaker.

Loving Strangers May 26, 2021

Show notes

As we near the end of our week on loving people, today we shift to loving those we don’t know. We are all so busy, and most often unaware of those around us, becoming too focused on ourselves to notice others. Perhaps today God would shift our focus upward to see the faces we pass on the streets or on the elevator. How much could a kind word or smile help someone out having a rough day? Let’s try to take our eyes off ourselves and see those we pass every day and don’t seem to notice. Could God want to use you to minster to someone you don’t even know? Let’s find out.

Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 13:2, and today's worship is For the One by Brian & Jenn Johnson.

Loving Friends May 25, 2021

Show notes

In today’s devotional, we’ll be learning about what it means to be a friend who loves well. Think about your dearest friends. What role have they played in your life in the best and in the worst times? Does your heart fill with thankfulness as you acknowledge what a good gift God has given you in them? May we pinpoint exactly what it means to intentionally love our friends well today. May we be filled with the love of Jesus and grace of God to go out of way to love and minister to those special people in our lives today.

Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 17:17, and today's worship is Your Love Is A Well by First15 Worship feat. Rachel Denison.
