What if one of the greatest obstacles to your God-given purpose isn't failure, but distraction?

We live in a culture that constantly encourages us to consume more: social media, entertainment, news, sports, and endless content. But what if all that consumption is keeping us from the very purpose God created us for?

This message was originally shared during a Men's Breakfast gathering at New Life Community Church Cicero, where men cam...

What happens when one person says yes to God's calling?

In this powerful Christian devotional based on Joshua 1:1-2, we explore how God often places a vision in the heart of one obedient servant so that many others can experience His blessings.

God gives the vision. The servant obeys. Many receive ...

In this devotional, Omar Calvillo from From Wrong to Strong Ministries reflects on the first recorded words of Jesus in the Gospel of John:

“What do you want?”
“What do you seek?” (John 1:38)

Before miracles, sermons, or commands, Jesus asks a heart-searching question that still confronts us today. Why are we following Him? What are we truly seeking?

Through John 1:38-43, this devotional explores how Jesus i...

What does it really mean to “remember those in prison” in Hebrews 13:3?

In this devotional, Omar Calvillo unpacks the powerful call for believers to stand in unity, compassion, and action. Scripture doesn’t call us to feel distant sympathy, it calls us to identify deeply with those who are suffering.

In this From Wrong to Strong Weekly Devotional, Cisco Terrazas brings a powerful reminder from 1 Corinthians 3:5–9 about our true role as believers.
Many Christians carry pressure that was never meant for them. We feel responsible for results, for change, for outcomes in people’s lives. But Scripture makes it clear: we are called to be faithful, not responsible.
Some plant. Some water. But God alone brings the gro...

In this message preached at New Life Community Church in Cicero, Omar Calvillo walks through Colossians 1:15–20 to answer one of the most important questions in life: Who is Jesus, really?

Salvation is found in no one else. The resurrection of Jesus is not optional. It is ...
