There’s a kind of truth you can pick up in a classroom, and then there’s the kind you can only receive from the Spirit Himself.

Why Everything Feels Unstable in America Right Now
The Daily Devotional by Vince Miller
SUMMARY: Everything feels unstable right now—and it’s not just political. When authority is contested, truth is negotiable, and order fractures, fear fills the gap.

REFLECTION & SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What makes instability feel more personal than political? 2. Why does contested authority produce fear—even for people who avoid politics? 3.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . Many believers think they’re supposed to have everything figured out. Like they should instantly know God’s will, instantly understand Scripture, or instantly sense the “right” next step. But Paul is incredibly honest here: You can’t figure out God on your own. And you’re not expected to. These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For...

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . One of the hardest parts of following God isn’t obedience. And it isn’t sacrifice. It’s the waiting in the dark—the moments when you can’t see what God is doing, and it feels like nothing’s happening. Paul speaks right into that tension. Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to...

Ever feel like you’re not impressive enough for God to use? Like your words aren’t sharp enough… Your story isn’t dramatic enough… Your personality isn't bold enough. Paul’s right there with you. In fact, he leaned into it. And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know...

The Daily Devotional by Vince Miller
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . There’s a quiet pressure most people feel — the pressure to be enough. Strong enough. Wise enough. Disciplined enough. Spiritual enough. Successful enough. And when we’re not? We hide it. Or we hustle to make up for it. Paul ends this opening chapter with a truth that cuts through all that pressure: And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from...

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . Some of the most defining moments in life aren’t victories. They’re the moments you were overlooked. Not chosen. Not impressive enough. Not the one anyone expected to matter. Paul actually wants you to remember those moments — because they’re the key to seeing how God works. For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly...

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . Some people miss God’s answer because it doesn’t look like the answer they wanted. The Jews wanted signs — power on full display. The Greeks wanted wisdom — arguments polished like marble. Everyone wanted something impressive. But God didn’t send a performer or a philosopher. He sent a crucified Savior. Not what they asked for… but God gave something better. For...

The Daily Devotional by Vince Miller
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . Some things only make sense after they save your life. Before that? They sound like nonsense. That’s how Paul describes the cross. To one group, the message of Jesus crucified is the power of God. To another, it’s foolishness — a ridiculous idea wrapped in impossible claims. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us...

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is . The argument started small. They always do. A comparison here. A subtle jab there. Then suddenly the whole church in Corinth was splintering into camps — Paul’s camp, Apollos’ camp, Peter’s camp, even a “we only follow Christ” camp said with a smug twist. Division never screams at first. It whispers. Then it fractures. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name...
