Are You Called by God or Running on Your Own?

Are you truly called by God, or are you running on your own strength? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens with a powerful hymn of salvation and moves into a sobering message about what it means to be genuinely called and empowered by God for ministry. Drawing from Ephesians, Jeremiah 23, Acts 14:1, and 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 in the KJV, Pastor Webster challenges both ministers and everyday believers to examine the source of their spiritual activity. You might be asking: What happens when someone enters ministry without God's calling? How do I know if I have real spiritual power or just human effort? Is it okay to feel weak or foolish in God's work? What does it mean that God gives the increase? Key points from this devotion: - Salvation is by grace alone, not by anything we have done - Spiritual office without spiritual power produces human failure - Anyone in ministry without God's appointment is a usurper - God deliberately chooses the weak and foolish to do His work - Losing your sense of servanthood means losing your spiritual usefulness If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment below, share it with someone who needs this word today, and subscribe so you never miss a devotion. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening hymn of salvation 1:15 No boasting — grace alone saves us 2:00 Urgent call to trust Christ now 2:49 Paul's calling and God's power 3:56 Spiritual office without power fails 5:01 What is a usurper in ministry? 5:34 Jeremiah warns against false prophets 8:11 The danger of losing servanthood 9:01 God chooses the weak and foolish 10:37 Closing prayer and farewell

Are You a Minister? What It Really Means to Serve

Are you a minister? What does it really mean to serve God? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 3 and Romans 15 (KJV) to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in the church — minister. You might be asking: - What is the mystery Paul talks about in Ephesians 3? - Why was Paul arrested if preaching is not a crime? - Does being called a minister mean anything without God's power? - Can God really use someone with a past like Paul's? Key points from this devotion: - The mystery revealed: Jewish and Gentile believers are now fellow heirs, one body, equal shareholders of God's promise - A minister is simply a servant — one who does what they are told by a higher power - Paul considered himself the most undeserving, yet grace found him anyway - Spiritual office without spiritual power produces human failure - The power God gives is the power of spiritual insight into Scripture, not just miracles If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone, and subscribe so you never miss a new episode of Words From The Word with Pastor Roderick Webster. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening Hymn — Saved by the Blood 1:10 Paul's Offering for Jerusalem Saints 3:45 The Mystery Defined — Ephesians 3 5:50 Why Was Paul Really Arrested? 6:15 Called to Be a Minister 7:20 What Does Minister Actually Mean? 8:30 Grace Given to the Undeserving 9:50 The Power Behind True Ministry 11:35 Closing and Next Devotion

Are You Included? The Mystery Paul Died to Tell You

Are you included in what God is doing? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 3 and unpacks one of the most powerful truths in all of Scripture — a mystery hidden for ages but now fully revealed. Drawing from Ephesians 3:2-7, 2 Timothy 1:11-12, Galatians 1:11-12, and Colossians 1:25 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster shows us how God entrusted Paul with a divine commission — not just to preach the gospel, but to reveal something the Old Testament never made plain. You might be asking: What exactly is this mystery Paul keeps talking about? Does it apply to me today? How did Paul receive this revelation if it came directly from God? And what does it mean that Gentiles are now fellow heirs with the Jews? Here are a few key points from today's devotion: - A dispensation is a divine appointment — a stewardship you will answer for - Paul's calling to the Gentiles came not from man, but directly from Jesus Christ - The mystery is this: Gentile believers are fellow heirs, members of the same body of Christ - This truth was hidden in the Old Testament but is now fully revealed through the Spirit If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss a word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening Hymn — Blood of Jesus 1:05 Paul the Prisoner — His Story 2:31 What Is a Dispensation? 4:00 Grace Given to the Gentiles 7:00 The Mystery Now Revealed 8:06 What Exactly Is the Mystery? 10:00 Revelation Came Directly from God 11:37 Wrap Up and What's Next

When God Protects You From Plots You Never Knew About

Have you ever been protected from a danger you never even knew existed? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten walks us through Acts chapters 22 and 23 in the KJV, continuing the powerful testimony of Paul the prisoner. You might be asking: Why did simply mentioning the Gentiles cause a riot? How did Paul's Roman citizenship protect him from an illegal beating? What do we do when people plot against us behind our backs? And how does God use the people closest to us to keep us safe? Key points from this devotion: - Paul's testimony sparked a riot the moment he mentioned God sending him to the Gentiles - His Roman citizenship stopped an unlawful scourging and showed how God uses every detail of our background - Paul used God-given wisdom to divide the Sadducees and Pharisees, buying himself time - A conspiracy of more than 40 men vowed not to eat until they killed Paul — and God exposed it through one young nephew - God personally encouraged Paul, saying he would testify in Rome — the mission was not over God's protection often works in ways we never see.

Is Redemption Really Free? What Paul's Story Reveals

Is redemption really free, and if so, what was the price? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens with the powerful hymn "Nor Silver Nor Gold" by James M. Gray and takes us deep into Acts 22:1-22 (KJV), where the Apostle Paul stands on the steps of the temple and gives one of the most compelling testimonies in all of Scripture. You might be asking — Can someone who actively persecuted Christians really be saved? What happened to Paul on the road to Damascus? Why did Paul go blind, and what does that mean for us? What does it mean that redemption was bought with the blood of Jesus? In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through these key points: - Paul openly identifies with his persecutors, sharing their background before sharing his transformation - A blinding light on the Damascus road stopped Paul in his tracks and changed his direction forever - Ananias, a man of good report, spoke simply — and Paul's sight was restored that same hour - Paul received a clear calling: to be a witness to all men of what he had seen and heard - The crowd listened — until Paul mentioned the Gentiles If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, and share it with someone who needs it today.

Why Was Paul Proud to Be a Prisoner?

Why was Paul proud to call himself a prisoner? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 3, verse 1, where the Apostle Paul introduces himself not with titles of honor, but as a prisoner of Jesus Christ. Using the King James Version, Pastor Webster walks us through the powerful backstory behind Paul's imprisonment and what it truly means to suffer for the sake of the gospel. You might be asking: Can following Jesus really cost you your freedom? What does it mean to be a prisoner of Christ? Is it possible to boast in suffering? How did Paul end up in chains in the first place? Key points from this devotion: - Paul identified himself as a prisoner of the Lord Jesus Christ, not of Rome - True Christianity includes being a partaker of the afflictions of the gospel - Paul's imprisonment was directly connected to his preaching to the Gentiles - The mob in Jerusalem wanted to kill Paul for bringing the gospel to outsiders - God's purpose cannot be stopped even when His servants are in chains If this devotion blessed you, please like, leave a comment, share this video, and subscribe so you never miss a Word From The Word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening and Series Recap 0:24 Hymn: Nor Silver Nor Gold 1:33 Paul the Prisoner — Ephesians 3:1 2:32 Not Ashamed of Suffering for Christ 4:26 Why Paul Was Imprisoned 4:38 Acts 21 — Arrest in the Temple 6:45 Mob Violence and the Rescue 8:14 Paul Speaks to the Crowd 9:55 Closing and What's Coming Next

Are you a living stone in God's temple?

You might be asking... What does it mean to be a "living stone"? Why does unity matter so much in the Church? How is Christ building His Church today? What is the purpose of apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers? Key points from this devotion: - We are all sinners by nature, but redemption comes through the blood of Jesus Christ alone - The Church is one body, Jews and Gentiles unified under one Spirit and one hope - Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone — no other foundation can be laid - Every believer is a living stone set in a holy, spiritual temple - God gave gifts to the Church to mature, build up, and protect the saints from false teaching If this devotion blessed you, please like, leave a comment below, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe so you never miss a word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening 0:12 Redeemed by the Blood of Jesus 1:01 Why We All Need Salvation 2:09 The Church — One Body One Building 3:31 Christ Is Building His Church 4:41 You Are a Living Stone 6:06 Gifts God Gave to Grow His Church 7:12 A Living Temple Awaiting His Return 7:28 Closing and Next Devotion Preview
