TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 14TH DECEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 14th December 2024, Saturday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: NOEL—Ways to Celebrate the Season: Express Your Faith
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:6
Recommended Reading: 2 Timothy 1:3-7
How can we best celebrate Christmas? Our weekend devotions focus on the word NOEL. The N stands for giving to the needy, the O for open your home.
Today, let’s think about the E and learn to express our faith. There’s a recent phrase that’s become popular among Christians—“initiating Gospel conversations.” Whenever you find yourself with someone, even a stranger, look around for anything that will help turn the topic gently toward the Lord.
Is the person wearing a cross around her neck? Does the message on his t-shirt lend itself to conversation? Do they have a discouraged look on their face?
Many people—not everyone, so be prepared!—will respond positively to a loving spiritual comment, especially at Christmas. Even a Christmas carol in the coffee shop can help you find a point of connection to discuss Christ. We’re not responsible for the harvest, only for the sowing and watering. Perhaps today the Lord will cause your path to cross with someone needing a word of encouragement, allowing you to initiate a Gospel conversation and express your faith.
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.
