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 . Everyone’s building something— a career, a reputation, a family, a future, a legacy. But Paul reminds us that the foundation matters just as much as the construction. Actually—more. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no...

You’re Not as Important as You Think | 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
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 . We live in a culture obsessed with taking credit. Who built this? Who made that? Who gets the recognition, the spotlight, the applause? Yet Paul cuts through all of it with one simple reminder: What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he...

You can know the verses. You can show up every Sunday. You can love the right teachers. And still act spiritually immature. That’s the sting of Paul’s words here. He doesn’t confront their theology—He confronts their behavior. But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not...

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 are moments when you feel underqualified for the life God called you to live. Moments when you stare at a decision, a temptation, or a responsibility and think, “I don’t know if I’m built for this.” Paul ends Chapter 2 with a declaration that dismantles that fear. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of...

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 . Ever notice how following Jesus changes the way you see everything? Not overnight… but steadily. Quietly. Deeply. You start noticing things you’d never noticed before. You sense dangers you used to walk right into. You feel conviction where you once felt nothing. You recognize truth in places you once ignored. Paul captures that shift in a single verse: The spiritual person...

You’ve probably felt this before—trying to share something God is doing in your life, only to be met with a blank stare. Maybe they look confused. Maybe uninterested. Maybe they just don’t feel what you feel. Paul explains exactly why that happens. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to...

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 kind of truth you can pick up in a classroom, and then there’s the kind you can only receive from the Spirit Himself. Paul makes that distinction in one verse that’s easy to skim past but huge in meaning. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. — Paul is...

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. Where do you most often look for peace when...
