5-Day Devotional Walking by the Spirit in a Fast-Moving World Day 1 – Slow Down Before You Run Scripture Proverbs 6:18 “Feet that run rapidly to evil…” Devotional Thought Not all sin begins with rebellion. Some begins with speed. Impulse short-circuits discernment. In a culture built on instant gratification, fast reactions, and emotional responses, we can find ourselves running before we’ve prayed. God doesn’t just care about direction—He cares about pace. The Spirit rarely shouts over chaos. He often whispers…

A Lying Tongue 5-day devotional
5-Day Devotional A Lying Tongue — When Truth Is Distorted Day 1 — The Source of Lies Scripture John 8:44“…he is a liar and the father of lies.” Devotional Thought Jesus makes a startling statement: lies have a father.

That means truth is not merely ethical—it is relational. Every time…

Haughty Eyes — When Self Takes the Throne Sermon Day 1 — When Pride Goes Unnoticed Scripture “There are six things which the LORD hates… haughty eyes.”— Proverbs 6:16–17 (NASB95) Devotional Thought Pride is rarely obvious. It often hides behind competence, success, self-reliance, and even religious activity. That’s why Proverbs begins with eyes before actions. “Haughty eyes” describe a heart posture that slowly shifts trust away from God and places confidence in self. Pride doesn’t always reject God outright—it subtly…

At North Church, we believe God does…
