How You Know You’re His: The Spirit Within

There is one Spirit (Eph. 4:4, KJV). In today’s devotion, we explore how the Holy Spirit indwells every true believer, seals us “unto the day of redemption,” and builds us together as one Body in Christ. Pastor Roderick shows from Scripture that the Spirit isn’t an optional add-on later in life—He is God’s guarantee the moment we believe.

Key Scriptures (KJV):
Ephesians 4:4 • Romans 8:9 • Ephesians 1:13; 4:30 • Ephesians 2:21–22

You’ll Hear About:

  • Why “no Spirit, no sonship” (Rom. 8:9) clarifies assurance.

  • Sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise at belief (Eph. 1:13).

  • Sealed until the day of redemption (Eph. 4:30).

  • How the Spirit builds the church into a holy temple (Eph. 2:21–22).

  • Why the same Spirit in all believers makes real unity possible.

Takeaways:

  1. The Spirit’s indwelling and sealing happen at salvation.

  2. The Spirit is the bond of our unity and the pledge of our future.

  3. Live like you’re sealed—walk in peace and build up the Body.

Reflect & Apply:

  • Where do I need to rest in the Spirit’s seal today?

  • How can I pursue unity knowing the same Spirit indwells us all?

Why We’re One: The Body of Christ Explained

There is one body and one Spirit (Eph. 4:4, KJV). Today we slow down and remember who we are: members of Christ’s Body—“of His flesh, and of His bones” (Eph. 5:30). Pastor Roderick traces how this truth resets rivalry, clarifies calling, and restores peace in the church.

Scripture (KJV):
Ephesians 4:1–4; 5:30 • Ephesians 2:16 • Romans 12:4–5 • 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, 20 • Colossians 3:15

You’ll hear about:

  • Why you’re a member, not the whole body—and why that matters.

  • Different functions, one Head (Christ): eyes see, ears hear, feet move (Rom. 12:4–5).

  • How the Spirit places us into one body and calls us to let peace rule (Col. 3:15).

Takeaways:

  1. Unity isn’t a program; it’s a Person’s Body.

  2. Gifts differ, value doesn’t.

  3. Peace grows when members serve their part.

Reflect:

  • Which “part” am I trying to be that I’m not?

  • Where can I let the peace of God rule today?

Agape vs. Friendly Love: What’s the Difference?

The Spirit creates unity; believers keep it—by forbearing one another in love (Eph 4:2–3).

Today’s devotion builds on humility, gentleness, and patience, and adds the fourth essential: forbearing in love. From Ephesians 4:1–4 (KJV), we learn agape is not what we get—it’s what we give. It bears, forgives, and keeps peace when annoyances and provocations arise. Pastor Webster shows how agape differs from self-love and mere friendship love, and why Paul calls us to endeavor—be diligent—to preserve the unity the Holy Ghost already produced.

Highlights:

• Agape that “covers a multitude of sins” (1 Pet 4:8; Prov 10:12)

• Humility → gentleness → patience → forbearing (the unity pipeline)

• Paul’s urgency: “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit” (Eph 4:3)

• Real examples: Paul’s readiness to suffer (Acts 21), Abraham’s endurance (Heb 6:15), Christ’s prayer for oneness (John 17)

Takeaway: Spiritual unity is inside-out work. We can’t create it, but we must keep it—diligently.

Afraid of People or Pleasing God? (John 9; Eph 4)

Fear of people or praise from God? John 9 tests our hearts; Ephesians 4 shows the worthy walk.Today Pastor Roderick Webster continues Practical Christian Living in Ephesians 4:1–3 (KJV). Paul’s “I therefore” turns doctrine (ch. 1–3) into daily life (ch. 4–6): humility, meekness, longsuffering, forbearance, and unity in the bond of peace. We also visit John 9 and John 12:42–43—some believed yet kept silent, loving human praise more than God’s. Finally, Titus 2:10 reminds us to adorn the doctrine—live in a way that makes truth beautiful.Takeaway: Right living needs right doctrine; unity isn’t built by ditching truth but by wearing it with grace.Scriptures (KJV): Ephesians 4:1–3; Ephesians 1–3 (context); John 9; John 12:42–43; Titus 2:10; 2 Corinthians 4:6.If this helped, like & share to bless someone today.

How Do I Know I’m Missing Jesus?

Are you missing Jesus in your daily life? In Luke 2:41–52, Mary and Joseph assumed Jesus was with them—and went a full day without noticing. This message unpacks that “danger of assumption” and shows how we can be active in church yet distant from Christ. You’ll learn the signs of a missing Jesus—when His presence, power, and peace feel far away—and why unconfessed sin, spiritual neglect, fatigue, trials, disobedience, and living by feelings can cloud our walk.

We’ll also map a clear path back: repent, return to the Word, lean on the Holy Spirit, and rest in His pardon. If you’ve been worried, restless, or running on empty, this teaching points you to the Savior who never left—you just lost track. Expect Scripture, practical steps, and hope. Missing Jesus doesn’t have to be your story; let today be a fresh start.

Faith That Amazed Jesus: Lessons from the Centurion

Great faith can move the heart of God. In Matthew 8:5–13, we meet a Roman centurion whose trust in Christ was so remarkable that Jesus Himself marveled. He believed that just one word from the Lord was enough to heal his servant—and it was done.

In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster unpacks the story of the centurion, explores why Jesus praised his faith, and reflects on how we too can learn to trust God’s Word completely. You’ll also discover the significance of Capernaum as the center of much of Jesus’ ministry, and how miracle after miracle showed His authority over sickness, sin, and doubt.

If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God’s promises, this message is for you. Be encouraged—Christ honors those who believe Him without hesitation.

The Centurion's Faith: A Study in Capernaum

This devotional audio focuses on a passage from Matthew chapter 8, verses 5-13, which describes Jesus healing a centurion's servant.

The speaker begins by referencing a hymn about trusting God for salvation, connecting it to the theme of faith. The discussion explores the significance of Capernaum as Jesus's ministry headquarters and details other miracles performed there, such as healing a leper, a paralytic, and Peter's mother-in-law.

The centurion's role as a Roman military commander is explained, drawing parallels to other centurions mentioned in the New Testament, to underscore his position and the nature of his faith.

The segment concludes by setting the stage for a deeper examination of the centurion's plea to Jesus.

What Manner of Man Is This?

Storms don’t mean you’re out of God’s will—sometimes, they’re where Christ shows His greatest power. In this episode of Words from the Word, Pastor Roderick Webster takes us back to the Sea of Galilee, where the disciples faced a storm and then witnessed Jesus calm it with just a word.

But His authority didn’t stop there. When confronted by demon-possessed men, Jesus again displayed His absolute power—sending evil spirits fleeing at His command. From Job to Isaiah, Daniel to Peter and Paul, encountering the living God always left His servants humbled and transformed.

Today, this same Christ still reigns over every storm and every spirit. Whether you’re facing trials, temptations, or spiritual battles, His word is enough.

Count the Cost: Crossing to the Other Side (Matthew 8)

A sober, hope-filled call from crowds to commitment as Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22—“count the cost, and follow Jesus, because God is still on the throne.”

God is still on the throne—even when life looks dark. Today Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 8:18–22 (with Luke 9:57–62 and Mark 4:36) and asks: How committed are we when the crowds fade and the cost rises?

Scriptures: Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 9:57–62; Mark 4:36
Theme: The cost of discipleship • Commitment over comfort • God’s sovereignty
Prayer: “Lord, keep us from quick talk and make us faithful followers. Give us grace to cross to the other side. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Are We Saved by Grace or Good Works?

Are we saved by grace—or do we have to earn it by being good enough? In this powerful devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster unpacks Ephesians 2 and Titus 3 to make a compelling case: Salvation is by grace, not works. If you’ve ever worried about “losing your salvation” because of sin or failure, this message will give you solid biblical assurance.


You’ll discover what it truly means to be saved by grace through faith, how God’s mercy withholds judgment we deserve, and why no amount of good deeds can earn what Christ has already freely given. Plus, you’ll learn the difference between working for your salvation and working it out in daily obedience.

Can Jesus’ Touch Truly Cleanse You from Sin?

When sin isolates and defiles, only one touch can make you whole. In today’s devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster uses the biblical picture of leprosy (Matt. 8:1–4; Lev. 13) to show how sin spreads in our lives—and how only Jesus’ compassionate touch can heal our deepest wounds and restore fellowship with God.🔹 In this episode you’ll discover: Why leprosy in Scripture is a vivid picture of sin’s depth and spread (Lev. 13:1–8, 45–46). Sin’s slippery progression: “Sin spreads like leprosy” (Lev. 13:8). How sin isolates us—cutting us off from community and communion with God (Lev. 13:45–46). The only remedy: coming humbly to Jesus, confessing our sin, and trusting His power to cleanse (1 John 1:9; Matt. 8:3). Practical steps to examine your heart, confess your sins, and accept Jesus’ forgiveness today.🛠 Next Steps: Reflect: What “plague” of sin has crept into your life and begun to isolate you? Respond: Humbly confess your sin to Jesus (1 John 1:9) and believe He alone can cleanse you.
