Coffee Devo | Have You Lost the Word of God?
Have You Lost the Word of God? Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead invites you to pause, reflect, and grow through God’s Word. In 2 Chronicles 34, young King Josiah led a nation back to God after the long-forgotten Book of the Law was discovered in the temple. Although God’s Word had always been available, it had been neglected and nearly forgotten. Could the same be true in our lives today? Have you become so busy that your Bible remains unopened? Have you drifted from spending daily time in God’s Word? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to rediscover the life-changing power of Scripture and renew their commitment to reading, studying, and living according to God’s truth. At Go & Tell Ministries, we are passionate about helping Christians grow in their faith and confidently share the Gospel. Through Bible-based resources, practical discipleship tools, and simple biblical teaching, Pastor Jim Halstead equips believers to make disciples who make disciples.

Coffee Devo | The Power of Repentance and God’s Mercy
Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead explores one of the Bible’s greatest stories of redemption. King Manasseh is remembered as one of Judah’s most wicked rulers. He rejected God’s commands, led the nation into sin, and ignored the warnings of God’s prophets. Yet even after years of rebellion, God’s mercy remained available to him. When Manasseh found himself in deep distress, he humbled himself before the Lord, prayed sincerely, and sought God’s forgiveness. The Lord heard his prayer, restored him, and transformed his heart. Through this powerful account in 2 Chronicles 33, we see that genuine repentance opens the door to God’s grace, no matter how far we have wandered. Have you ever wondered if you’ve gone too far from God? Are you carrying regret or searching for a fresh start? This short Christian devotional reminds us that God still hears humble prayers, forgives repentant hearts, and restores those who turn back to Him in faith. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to help believers grow in their faith, share the Gospel, and make disciples who make disciples. Go & Tell… The Story of His Glory!
Coffee Devo | Are You Living for What Matters Most?
Pause and consider one of life’s most important questions: What are you living for? Jesus asked a powerful question in Luke 9:25: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” Success, possessions, and achievements may bring temporary satisfaction, but they can never replace a life rooted in Christ. James reminds us that our lives are like a mist, here today and gone tomorrow (James 4:14). Moses prayed, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12), encouraging us to live each day with purpose and an eternal perspective. Are you investing your time in what truly matters? Are you building a life that will have an eternal impact? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to evaluate their priorities, seek God’s wisdom, and live each day with faith, purpose, and a heart devoted to Christ. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples. Go & Tell… The Story of His Glory!
Coffee Devo | Be Still and Know That I Am God
A gentle reminder to pause in the presence of God. In a world filled with constant distractions, noise, and uncertainty, Psalm 46:10 calls us to stop striving and place our complete trust in the Lord: “Be still and know that I am God.” Being still is more than simply being quiet, it is choosing to rest in God’s sovereignty, trust His faithfulness, and remember that He remains in control no matter what circumstances we face. Are you taking time each day to slow down and listen to God? Could He be inviting you to find peace and renewed strength in His presence? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to quiet their hearts, deepen their relationship with God, and discover the peace that comes from trusting Him completely. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples.

Coffee Devo | Encourage One Another Every Day
Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead reminds us that one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to live out our faith is by encouraging others. In Hebrews 3:13, we are instructed: “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” God designed the Christian life to be lived in community, where believers strengthen, support, and encourage one another to remain faithful. A kind word, a prayer, a phone call, or a simple act of kindness can make an eternal difference in someone’s life. Encouragement helps build faith, strengthens relationships, and reminds us that we are never meant to walk alone. Who can you encourage today? How might God use your words to bring hope, comfort, or renewed faith to someone who needs it? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to intentionally build others up, grow in biblical community, and reflect the love of Christ through daily encouragement. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples.

Coffee Devo | Are You Living Out God’s Purpose?
Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead invites you to reflect on one of life’s most important questions: Are you fulfilling God’s purpose for your life? In Acts 13:36, Scripture says of King David, “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep…” David’s life was not remembered for his achievements alone, but because he faithfully fulfilled the purpose God had given him. God has a purpose for every believer. Each day is an opportunity to serve Him, encourage others, share the Gospel, and make an eternal impact. Our greatest success is not measured by worldly accomplishments but by faithfully living according to God’s calling. What purpose has God placed before you today? How can your life point others to Christ and leave a lasting legacy of faith? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to seek God’s direction, live intentionally, and faithfully serve Him in every season of life. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples.

Coffee Devo | Finding Rest in God’s Presence
Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead invites you to experience the peace that comes from resting quietly in God’s presence. In Psalm 131:2, David writes, “Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child with his mother, Like a weaned child is my soul within me.” This beautiful picture reminds us of complete trust, contentment, and security. Just as a child rests peacefully in a loving parent’s care, God invites us to find true rest in Him. In today’s fast-paced world, our hearts can easily become filled with worry, stress, and endless distractions. Yet God calls us to quiet our souls, trust His timing, and rest confidently in His faithful care. When we surrender our fears to Him, we discover a peace that cannot be found anywhere else. Is your soul restless today? Have you taken time to be still and trust the One who knows your every need?

Don’t Leave Your Song Unsung | Coffee Devotional
Coffee Devo with Go & Tell Ministries by Pastor Jim at Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s boyhood home in Portland, Maine. One of my favorite quotes he made is: ““The greatest tragedy of the average man is that he goes to his grave with his music still in him.” A Pastor once told me, “It does not matter if you have a voice, but do you have a Song!” Psalm 118:14, 17 says, “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the Lord has done.“ What song has God placed in your heart? Are you using your gifts, your testimony, and your life to point others to Christ? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to embrace God’s calling, live with purpose, and boldly proclaim His goodness so that the “song” He has given them will bless others and bring Him glory. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples.

Coffee Devo | Sound the Alarm: Christ’s Ambassadors to the World
Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead comes to you from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow statue in Portland, Maine, where history provides a powerful reminder of every Christian’s calling. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” tells the story of a courageous messenger who warned others of approaching danger. The poem begins with the unforgettable words, “Listen, my children, and you shall hear…” and celebrates Paul Revere’s determination to spread an urgent message that would impact generations to come. As followers of Jesus Christ, we have been entrusted with an even greater message, one that brings eternal hope. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made reconciliation with God possible for everyone who believes. In 2 Corinthians 5:18–20, the Apostle Paul reminds us that God has given every believer the ministry of reconciliation. We are Christ’s ambassadors, called to faithfully proclaim the Gospel and invite others to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. Like Paul Revere, we have been entrusted with an urgent message. But instead of warning people of an earthly danger, we proclaim the Good News of salvation, forgiveness, and new life in Christ. Who has God placed in your life that needs to hear the message of hope? How can you faithfully serve as Christ’s ambassador today? This short Christian devotional encourages believers to embrace their calling, boldly share the Gospel, and faithfully participate in God’s mission of making disciples. At Go & Tell Ministries, we create Bible-based resources that combine Scripture, stories, and simple biblical teaching to equip Christians to share the Gospel, grow as disciples, and make disciples who make disciples.
