Today's Devotional: Aug. 11
The Hitchhiker
A man in India named KA Ranjith strapped on his motorcycle helmet and roared off to St. Mary’s High School in Kandanad, where he works as a teacher. When he arrived and pulled his helmet off, he saw a venomous snake known as a common krait was coiled inside and had joined him for the seven-mile ride. Ranjith rushed to the local hospital where doctors determined he hadn’t been bitten, but nonetheless Ranjith decided to destroy his helmet in a fire and replace it.[1]

Get started with the study of John
A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Jesus’ Ministry
As one of Jesus’ closest and most trusted friends, John had a special fellowship with Christ and, along with Peter and James, was given access to certain events to which the other disciples were not included. By the time he penned his Gospel, John had witnessed phenomenal growth in the Church, faced persecution, and struggled with false teaching. John reminds his readers that Jesus was the divine Son of God who came clothed in human flesh—and that He offers eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Dr. Jeremiah would like to send you a copy of John—The Divinity of Christ in appreciation of your gift of support to Turning Point today!

A Study of the Beatitudes
How to Be Happy According to Jesus
Where did our culture get the idea that this world can provide ultimate happiness? Somewhere along the way, we lost the awareness of our identity as strangers and pilgrims who are just passing through. We need to reconsider what happiness truly is. The world equates it with emotional highs and having a good time while the Bible describes it as blessedness, fulfillment, and joy that is rooted in an eternal perspective.
In this study of the Beatitudes, Dr. Jeremiah explores the paradoxical promises of Jesus that illuminate the path to true happiness.
Representing the Heart of Jesus in a Broken World
What Would Jesus Do...Now?
Now more than ever, this question should guide us as Jesus’ followers. Facing unexpected pain and loss, millions are glued to the news, distracted by the headlines, frantic about the future. Our world is desperate for hope—for a cure to the current crisis. Nestled in Scripture, the Beatitudes offer a prescription for blessing in the midst of difficulty. Tough times are the most important time to be like Jesus. The more we know of who He really is, the better equipped we will be to live like Him. Let’s join together and commit to reflecting Christ in our interactions in the days ahead.

FAITHFULLY REIMAGINED FOR TODAY
The Beatitudes of Christ
How would you describe happiness? Humility, pain, injustice, persecution? Probably not. Yet Jesus said these are the kinds of characteristics that formulate His design for true joy. While we might prefer a list that includes power and prestige, that is not what He offers. The Beatitudes outline eight surprising characteristics that lead to spiritual blessings. We have adapted this passage in a way that we hope will help you incorporate it into your daily life as you follow Jesus.
As you make righteousness your priority, you are blessed!
Developing the character of Christ deepens your relationship with Him, colors the way you see the world... .

Tour the Land of the Bible with Dr. David Jeremiah
After leading several trips to the land of the Bible, Israel has become one of my favorite places on earth. Donna and I are excited to return for another Turning Point Israel tour, March 19-29, 2019.
We’ll visit historical places like:
- Gethsemane
- The Sea of Galilee
- The Mount of Beatitudes
- And more
I’ll guide you through these sacred sites and others, teaching God’s Word as we retrace our Savior’s steps. Imagine seeing the same landscape Jesus saw, being baptized in the Jordan River, or singing at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.
These life experiences will change you forever.
