Today's Devotional: Dec. 3
Available and Faithful
Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, continued a tradition of God using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Joseph was a carpenter in Nazareth and was part of the Davidic ancestral line. We also know he was a “just” (righteous) man. Though we know little of his life after the birth of Jesus (Luke 2:41), it appears he may have been alive at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry (Matthew 13:55) but died by the time of the crucifixion (John 19:26-27).

Why the Nativity? Devotional Experience
This Christmas, Dr. David Jeremiah and Turning Point Ministries invite you to move beyond mere belief. Step into the Why the Nativity? Devotional Experience—a journey truly beyond what you can imagine.
This December, embark on the powerful devotional journey, 25 Days to a Christmas Beyond Belief. This challenge encourages you to worship God more deeply and share the joy of Jesus, showing that He is the Reason for living, not just the season.
As we prepare room for Jesus, engage with intentional daily actions that accompany your video devotionals, such as seeking to Marvel at the Manger, determining to Share Stable Peace (perhaps by inviting a lost friend to watch Why the Nativity?—NOW in 16 languages!), or considering how easily you would Prepare Your “Yes” for God's purposes.
We invite you to follow the Star of Bethlehem with wonder and step forward in obedience, making 2025 the year you experience A Christmas Beyond Belief!
2026 DAILY DEVOTIONAL FROM DR. JEREMIAH
A Closer Walk With Jesus
Our soft-leather, 365-day devotional is always one of our most anticipated and beloved resources. It contains biblical truth for every day of the year, plus Scripture to encourage you in your walk with the Lord.
We were created for daily fellowship with God, much like the original followers of Jesus who walked with Him through Galilee. Remember the two disciples on the road to Emmaus? Their hearts burned as He spoke to them (Luke 24:32). You can have a similar experience, for the same Jesus is available through His Spirit to walk and talk with you!
The Bible calls us to walk in the Spirit, in newness of life, and by faith. Let the devotionals in A Closer Walk With Jesus enhance your study and prayer, helping you enjoy a closer walk with Him in 2026!

FROM THIS POINT FORWARD BY DR. JEREMIAH
Awakening to a Fresh Start
In years to come, your greatest legacy will be your faith in Jesus Christ and the fresh start He has given you. It’s a story your children and grandchildren should know. He brings to our life a new and glorious morn!
There’s a reason we celebrate Christmas, and then, exactly one week later, we celebrate New Year’s Day. It’s Christ who brings us the opportunity of getting a new start in life. Our new beginnings are based on His birth, death, and resurrection. Mary, Joseph, some lowly shepherds, and a few Wise Men’s lives were suddenly changed on Christmas morning. They understood that they were at the cradle of the long-awaited King of kings. They got a fresh start in life, and their every subsequent day was tinged with blessing, joy, and the assurance of eternal life.

OVER 40 YEARS OF BIBLE STRONG TEACHING AND SO MUCH MORE!
Listen to the Story of Anna
While many of us celebrate the joy of the coming of Jesus with our loved ones, there are plenty of others for whom this season is something to endure and get through—perhaps because they are alone, or they have just lost someone close to them. For those of us in that latter category, it is hard to imagine Christmas being anything but a season of sorrow and hurt. But the Christmas story is a message of hope and encouragement; it is for people who are suffering in terrible loneliness and anguish. This is because Christ came into the world specifically to take away the loneliness and hurt and pain and separation. This truth is evidenced in the story of Anna.
Stories like these and more are ready for you on TurningPoint+. Delve into over 40 years of Bible Strong teaching on our premier streaming platform with more than 1,400 audio and video resources. Enjoy features like playlists and on-demand access to Dr. Jeremiah's messages for spiritual growth. Start your journey today by subscribing to TurningPoint+ for timeless biblical wisdom!

We all enjoy planning for our family vacations and getaways with loved ones. However, how many of us spend more time planning a vacation than we do planning for the future? Probably most of us. Why? Because planning for a vacation is fun, exciting, and brimming with anticipation. Planning for our future seems to be a bit different since it can involve fear, confusion, and uncertainty. But, if you plan for your future legacy in an organized way, it can be just as simple as planning for that wonderful vacation that is so exciting. You just need to get started, and we want to help.

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.
