A Morning Devotion by Rev. Joseph Holmes HC Ministries International November 29th, 2025 --- Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! This morning we're going to look at Romans and the importance of today's living with all of what's going on in the world and in our daily lives. Our devotion comes out of Romans chapter 15, verse 13. ## Introduction You know, I've been pastoring for many years now, and one thing I've noticed is how easy it is for people to get caught up in the routine of religion while missing the revolutionary power of relationship with Jesus. We show up on Sunday, we check the boxes, we say the right words—but are we truly experiencing the abundant life Christ promised? This morning, I want to talk to you about something that changed my life and continues to sustain me every single day: the difference between being religious…

A Morning Devotion by Rev. Joseph Holmes HC Ministries November 28, 2025

Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ.

I hope this day finds you rested and ready, because I've got something heavy on my heart this morning that I need to share with you. It's something the Lord's been pressing on me all week, and I believe it's a word for right now—not just for today, but for every single morning we open our eyes.

See, we live in a world that's moving fast. Things are coming at us from every direction—worry, distraction, temptation, lies, fear. And if we're honest, some days it feels like we're barely keeping our heads above water. But here's the truth: we're not in this fight alone, and we're not in it unarmed. God has given us everything we need to stand firm. The question is, are we using it?

This morning, I want…

A Thanksgiving Day Devotion by Rev. Joseph Holmes HC Ministries International November 27, 2025

Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! May you all be blessed on this Thanksgiving Day!

I want to start by asking you a simple question: When was the last time you truly stopped to remember? Not just to think about yesterday or last week, but to really remember—to sit in the wonder of all that God has done for you? To trace His fingerprints across your life and let gratitude overflow from your heart?

This morning, as families gather around tables laden with food, as football games flicker on television screens, as the aroma of turkey and pumpkin pie fills homes across this nation, I want to talk with you about something deeper than a holiday. I want to talk about a way of life. Because Thanksgiving, my friends, isn't just a day circled on…

A Morning Devotion by Rev. Joseph Holmes HC Ministries International November 26, 2025

Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ!

I want to talk with you this morning about something that every single one of us faces, whether we've been walking with Jesus for fifty years or fifty days. It's that gut-wrenching struggle that keeps us up at night, that makes us question our salvation, that leaves us wondering if we're really saved at all. I'm talking about the war that rages inside each one of us—the battle between wanting to do what's right and finding ourselves doing exactly what we know we shouldn't.

Maybe you woke up this morning carrying guilt from yesterday. Maybe you're tired of fighting the same battle over and over again. Maybe you're new to faith and thinking, "I thought becoming a Christian would make this easier, not harder!" Perhaps you've been in church your…
