Are you among the many on the broad road, or among the few on the narrow way? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster draws from Ephesians chapter 2 and several powerful scriptures to show us the serious condition of the person who does not know Christ as Savior — and the urgent choice every soul must make.

You might be asking yourself today:

- How do I know if I am truly saved or just religious?

- What does the Bible mean when it says we are dead in trespasses and sins?

- Can God even hear my prayers if I am living in sin?

- What does it mean to walk according to the world?

Key points from this devotion:

- Sin causes spiritual death — a separation of the soul from God (Ephesians 2:1, Romans 6:23)

- Iniquity separates us from God and hides His face from us (Isaiah 59:2)

- The unregenerate man follows the world's system, which opposes all that is godly

- Eternal life is a gift found only in Jesus Christ, not in religion (1 John 5:11-12)

- Jesus warns that the broad road leads to destruction, but few find the narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14, KJV)

Are you dead in sin — or alive in Christ? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 2 and walks us through one of the most sobering and hopeful truths in all of Scripture — that every person born into this world is born spiritually dead because of Adam's sin, but that death is not the end of the story.

Drawing from Luke 7:12-15, John 11, Genesis 2:15-17, Romans 5:12, and John 5:24-40 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster shows us what it means to be dead in trespasses and sin, and what it means to pass from death unto life through faith in Jesus Christ.

You might be asking:

- Why does the Bible say I am dead if I am physically alive?

- How did Adam's sin affect me personally?

- Can someone who goes to church still be spiritually dead?

- What does it mean to truly come to Christ and receive life?

Key points from this devotion:

- Spiritual death entered the world through Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden

- Every person is born spiritually dead, unable to respond to or understand spiritual things

- Jesus demonstrated His power over death by raising three people — a girl, a widow's son, and Lazarus

- Coming to Christ is the only way to change a death sentence into everlasting life

- The invitation is open today — come to Christ before it is too late

Do you know the hope God placed in your calling? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter 1 verse 18 (KJV) and walks us through one of the most powerful truths a believer can grasp — that God called you not because of anything you did, but because of His own purpose and grace.

You might be asking — Why would God choose me? What does it mean to be called by God? How does my calling affect the way I live today? And what does God actually see when He looks at me?

Here are some key points from this devotion:

- God's calling is by grace alone, not based on your works or worthiness (2 Timothy 1:9, KJV)

- We have been called out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9, KJV)

- The hope of your calling should motivate you toward purity, obedience, and faithfulness

- God sees your future glory, not your past failures — just as He saw valor in Gideon and a rock in Peter

- God invests in His church because He will one day receive glory through us

Do you have the mind of Christ needed to truly understand the things of God? In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church draws from Ephesians, John 14:25-26, John 16:12-14, and 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 (KJV) to unpack what it means to be spiritually enlightened and why the natural mind simply cannot grasp the deep things of God on its own.

You might be asking: Why do some people laugh when I talk about God? Why does the Bible sometimes feel hard to understand? What does it mean to have the mind of Christ? How does the Holy Spirit actually teach us?

Key points from this devotion:

- The Holy Spirit is the source of all spiritual enlightenment and revelation

- The natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit — they seem foolish to him

- What God has prepared for those who love Him surpasses anything we can imagine

- When you receive Jesus Christ, you receive the Holy Spirit as your teacher

- Hiding the Word in your heart guards you against sin

Are you truly growing in the knowledge of God, or do you only know about Him? In this Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Colossians 1:9-12 (KJV) and walks us through the Apostle Paul's powerful prayer for the believers at Colosse — a prayer that asked for no material things, only that they would know God more deeply, walk worthy of Him, and bear fruit in every good work.

You might be asking — what does it mean to walk worthy of the Lord? Why does Paul pray for patience and long suffering with joyfulness? Is there a difference between knowing about God and actually knowing God? How do I grow in the knowledge of God daily?

Key points from this devotion:

- Paul prayed that believers would be filled with wisdom and spiritual understanding

- Walking worthy means our conduct and lifestyle should be pleasing to God

- Being fruitful in every good work is part of God's desire for every believer

Are you praying for what people truly need most? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Philippians 1:9-11 and Colossians 1:9 (KJV) to show us that the Apostle Paul's prayers went far deeper than physical needs — he prayed for love, knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual understanding.

You might be asking: Why does Paul pray for spiritual things instead of physical ones? What does it mean for love to "abound more and more in knowledge"? How do I pray more meaningfully for the people I care about? What does it look like to be filled with the fruits of righteousness?

Key points from this devotion:

- Paul prayed that believers would grow in love, knowledge, and sound judgment

- True intercession goes beyond physical needs to spiritual growth and readiness

- Being sincere, fruitless-free, and filled with righteousness are things worth praying for

- From the day Paul heard about a church, he did not stop praying — and neither should we

- As believers, we are called to think more deeply about the spiritual well-being of those we love
