Summary

Today we continue our week long focus on the Holy Spirit by exploring what it means for us to grow in friendship with him. We’ll never have a kinder, more present friend than the God who dwells within us. May we discover the pathway he’s laid before us to grow in friendship with him today, as we take time to experience him in a fresh way.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 25:14, and today's worship is I Am Your Beloved & Running Home by Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser.

We are so excited to share our latest worship song, Coming Through, featuring Jeremiah Brinkley! Check it out on the various streaming platforms here or over at our YouTube channel, here!

What started as a daily email devotional in 2015 has grown into a worldwide movement of over 2.6 million men and women connecting with God every day through our app, First15 Worship, Primeros15, our Spanish-language platform, our podcast, and live and virtual events.

That’s millions of people encountering God’s presence — and being used by him to transform our culture.

Today, you can help fuel this movement by becoming a First15 Monthly Partner. The amount you give is up to you — just knowing you’re investing to impact more lives for Christ is what matters. Go to first15.org/monthlypartner to give now.
