What Are You Really Investing In?

What Would You Risk for Jesus?

What does it mean to "contend earnestly for the faith"? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the remarkable story of Elijah Lovejoy—a pastor, newspaper editor, and follower of Christ who refused to compromise his convictions, even when it cost him everything. Drawing from Jude 1:3, this message reminds us that following Jesus requires both courage and dependence on God. Lovejoy's unwavering commitment to truth became a powerful example of what it looks like to stand firm when facing opposition. As we pray for the next Great Awakening, we're challenged to ask ourselves: What are we willing to risk for the sake of Christ? God continues to use ordinary believers who faithfully stand for truth, love others, and refuse to compromise their faith.

Don't Drift Spiritually

Are you actively living for God's kingdom—or simply drifting through your faith? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Jude 1:3 and the call to "contend earnestly for the faith." Following Jesus isn't passive. God calls His people to live with spiritual urgency while remaining completely dependent on His power. Like branches abiding in the vine, we don't strive in our own strength—we allow Christ to work through us as we faithfully serve His kingdom. As we pray for the next Great Awakening, we're reminded that revival begins with believers who refuse to become spiritually complacent. God invites each of us to live with purpose, stand firm in our faith, and participate in His mission every day. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

More Than Just Making Money

Can your career become a ministry? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the remarkable story of Cyrus McCormick, the inventor whose faith transformed not only his life, but the way he used his success to serve God's kingdom. After placing his trust in Christ, McCormick viewed his business as more than a way to earn a living. He used the resources God entrusted to him to support churches, train future pastors, and invest in gospel ministry, demonstrating that every profession can become a platform for eternal impact. Romans 8:37 reminds us that we are "more than conquerors" through Christ. Whether you're an entrepreneur, employee, student, or business owner, God can use your gifts, your work, and your influence to bless others and advance His kingdom.

The Victory Is Already Won

What do you do when life feels overwhelming? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on Romans 8:37 and the powerful promise that believers are “more than conquerors” through Jesus Christ. The challenges we face are real. Discouragement, temptation, spiritual battles, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming at times. But Scripture reminds us that our confidence is not found in our own strength. It is found in Christ, who has already conquered sin, death, and the power of the enemy. No matter what you're facing today, God's victory is greater than your struggle. Through Jesus, you can face every challenge with hope, courage, and confidence. The victory is not something you must earn—it is something Christ has already secured.

A Mother's Prayers Changed History

What do you do when someone you love seems far from God? In this Daily Hope devotional, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the remarkable story of Arthur Tappan and the mother who faithfully prayed for him through years of spiritual wandering. For more than a decade, Arthur resisted the faith he had been taught as a child. Yet his mother never stopped praying, never stopped hoping, and never stopped pointing him toward Jesus Christ as the true foundation of life. Eventually, God answered those prayers in a powerful way. Arthur's transformed life would go on to influence countless others, reminding us that we never know how God may use the people we're praying for today. If you're carrying a burden for a child, grandchild, spouse, friend, or loved one who seems far from God, this message is a reminder to stay faithful. God is still at work, even when you cannot see it. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day. Download the CP+ Spiritual Fitness App for more.
