Today is the final episode of our Prayer & Fasting journey. Together we reflect on the story of Esther, a powerful reminder that fasting isn't just personal, it's communal and courageous. Even when God seems hidden, His hand is at work, weaving great reversals through our surrender. As Esther stood in the gap for her people, we’re invited to fast and pray not only for ourselves, but for others in need of hope and breakthrough. Join us in drawing near to the God who turns silence int...

Welcome to Day Four of Vox Church’s Week of Prayer and Fasting. Today we reflect on one of Scripture’s most sobering yet hope filled moments the confrontation between the prophet Nathan and King David in 2 Samuel 12. Through this powerful story of sin, conviction, and restoration, we’re reminded that God’s exposure of our brokenness is not for condemnation, but for redemption. David’s response, turning to God through prayer and fasting, gives us a model of humility and repentance. We are call...

Drawing from Acts 13:1-3, today we look at the powerful moment where the Holy Spirit sets apart Barnabas and Saul (later Paul) for a divine calling, a moment that would shape the future of the global church. Through the examples of Saul, Barnabas, and the gathered believers, we’re reminded that fasting isn't passive waiting, it's an active, humble pursuit of God's will. This episode encourages us to create space in our lives for clarity, calling, and community as we fast and worship tog...

Welcome to Day Two of Vox Church’s Week of Prayer and Fasting. Today, we are highlighting Nehemiah 1. We meet a man whose heart breaks over the brokenness of his people and city, and his first response isn’t action; it’s prayer and fasting. In this story, we explore how God gives us holy burdens that draw us to intercession, repentance, and ultimately compassionate action. Nehemiah’s story challenges us to slow down, feel deeply, and bring our grief, concern, and vision to God first. W...

Join us as we begin our week of Prayer and Fasting with a powerful reflection on Jesus’ 40-day fast in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). This episode explores how fasting reveals our reliance on God over self, exposes the spiritual battles we face, and invites us into deeper dependence on God’s presence and provision. Join us as we learn from Jesus’ example to draw near to God with intention, making space for Him above all else. Whether you’re new to fasting or looking to renew your practice, ...

Day 8: Easter Sunday – He Is Risen On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the truth that changes everything: He is not here. He has risen. In Luke 24:1–12, the women arrive at the tomb expecting death but find instead a message of life, hope, and victory. Today’s devotional invites us to consider how we respond to the resurrection—will we dismiss it as an idle tale, or like Peter, will we run to the tomb in faith? Because Jesus lives, everything has changed. Fear is silenced, death is defeated, and l...

Day 7: Holy Saturday – The Silence of God Holy Saturday is the day between. Between the suffering of the cross and the joy of the resurrection. Between confusion and clarity. Between death and life. In Matthew 27:62–66, we see fear gripping both Jesus’ enemies and his friends—one group afraid that the story isn’t over, the other afraid that it is. Today’s devotional invites us to sit in the stillness and silence, to recognize the fear, and to remember: even when we cannot see it, God is still...

Day 6: Good Friday – What God Meant for Good On the darkest day in human history, Jesus was crucified, mocked, rejected, and pierced for our transgressions. Yet through this unimaginable suffering, God was accomplishing something eternally good. In today’s reflection on Luke 23:33–46, we witness the mercy of Christ, the power of the cross, and the invitation extended to every sinner: “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” Good Friday reminds us that even in our greatest sorrow or sin, God’...

Day 5: Holy Thursday – Is It I? On Holy Thursday, we enter the upper room with Jesus and his disciples as they share the Passover meal for the last time. In Mark 14:12–24, betrayal sits quietly at the table, yet Jesus offers bread and a cup—symbols of his body and blood poured out for many. Today’s reflection invites us to wrestle with the sobering question: Is it I? In our own failures, we are not met with condemnation, but with an invitation to repent, to receive grace, and to remember the ...

Day 4: Holy Wednesday – The Servant King As Jesus approaches the cross, he kneels to wash his disciples’ feet,a quiet, stunning act of humility and love. In today’s reflection on John 13:1–5, 12–17, we see the Savior who knows all things choose to serve in the lowliest way, showing us the heart of God. This devotional calls us to embrace the way of Jesus: a life marked not by status or self-preservation, but by love expressed through service. Let his love reshape you today. From the triumphal...

Day 3: Holy Tuesday – Even When Faith On Holy Tuesday, we witness an extravagant act of worship from Mary as she anoints Jesus with costly perfume, preparing him for burial. Through John 12:1–8, we reflect on the faith of Mary and Martha, two women who trusted in Jesus not just when everything made sense, but even when it didn’t. In today’s devotional, we’re invited to cultivate that same kind of trust: faith that holds steady through loss, uncertainty, and surrender. May their example inspir...

Day 2: Holy Monday – A House of Prayer On Holy Monday, we reflect on Jesus cleansing the temple, a bold act of justice and spiritual clarity. Through Matthew 21:12–17, we’re reminded that our lives—like the temple—are meant to be houses of prayer, not hidden places for idols. In today’s episode, we consider what needs to be overturned in our hearts, where healing is needed, and how childlike humility opens the door to deeper intimacy with God. Let Jesus do the cleansing work only he can do. F...

Day 1: Palm Sunday – The Peace We Miss On this first day of Holy Week, we reflect on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling ancient prophecy and revealing himself as the promised Messiah. But while the crowds shouted praise, they missed the deeper peace he came to bring. Through Luke 19:28–40, today’s devotional invites us to consider whether we too are missing the peace Jesus offers—peace with God, and peace with one another. Join us as we reflect, pray, and prepare our hearts for...

“The Word Became Flesh” On this final day of this Advent devotional, we reflect on John 1:14-18, a passage that reveals the heart of Christmas: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” Jesus, the eternal Word of God, entered creation to bring grace and truth to a weary world. His birth, life, and sacrifice offer the hope and promise of salvation to all who receive Him. This Christmas, as we celebrate with family and friends, let us marvel at the miracle of God’s love story. The...

“The Light of the World” Today’s reading from John 1:1-13 reminds us of the profound truth of Jesus’ identity as the Word and the Light of all mankind. Through Him, all things were made, and His light shines in the darkness, a light that darkness cannot overcome. This passage calls us to recognize the unifying force of Jesus, fully divine and fully human, who offers the hope of life and light to the world. As we marvel at the Christmas lights illuminating the season, we are reminded that they...

“A Child is Born, A Son is Given” Today’s reading from Isaiah 9:2-7 paints a beautiful picture of hope fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ. Written 700 years before the first Christmas morning, this prophecy celebrates the arrival of a light that shatters darkness, a child born to bring freedom, justice, and everlasting peace. He is the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Isaiah’s words remind us of the deep anticipation and longing for the Messiah, a ...

“Sharing the Good News” Today’s reading from Luke 2:15-20 continues the shepherds’ story as they respond to the angelic announcement of Jesus’ birth. Hurrying to Bethlehem, they find Mary, Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger—just as the angel had said. Filled with awe and joy, the shepherds can’t keep the news to themselves. They spread the word, glorifying and praising God for the miracle they’ve witnessed. The shepherds’ celebration goes beyond simply marveling at the moment; they become...

“Good News of Great Joy” Today’s reading from Luke 2:8-14 recounts the incredible moment when angels appeared to shepherds, proclaiming the birth of Jesus. On an ordinary night, the fields were suddenly illuminated by the glory of the Lord, and the angel announced the good news: the Savior had been born. The angelic choir’s song, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,” filled the night with hope and joy. This moment reminds us that the message of Christ’s birth is for everyone, inc...

“Good News of Great Joy” Today’s reading from Luke 2:8-20 captures the awe-inspiring moment when shepherds, keeping watch over their flocks, are visited by angels announcing the birth of Jesus. The angel’s message—“Good news of great joy for all people”—emphasizes that the gospel of Jesus is for everyone, bringing peace and joy to those who receive it. The shepherds’ response is immediate. They go with haste to see the Savior and then spread the word of what they have witnessed. Their excitem...

“The Manger and the Kingdom” Today’s reading from Luke 2:1-7 recounts the humble yet powerful birth of Jesus. Born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger, Jesus’ arrival fulfilled prophecy and set in motion God’s plan for redemption. The manger, a feeding trough for animals, symbolizes spiritual nourishment and humility. Jesus, the Bread of Life, offers sustenance for our souls, showing us that God’s kingdom often works through unexpected and lowly means. The circumstances of Jesus’ birth remind u...
