Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ a matter of faith alone, or is it supported by evidence? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores Acts 1:3 and the many convincing proofs of Christ’s resurrection. Through the story of General Lew Wallace—who set out to investigate Christianity and ultimately became convinced of its truth—this devotion reminds us that the gospel rests on historical reality, not wishful thinking.

Pastor Philip walks through the powerful evidence surrounding the resurrection: the empty tomb, fulfilled prophecy, eyewitness testimony, the transformation of the disciples, and the enduring impact of the church. The risen Christ provides believers with a firm foundation for faith, hope in suffering, and confidence in eternal life. The resurrection is not a myth but the defining event of history—evidence that demands a response from every heart.

How should Christians think about the future? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy explores James 4:13–17 and the biblical wisdom behind making plans that are humbly submitted to the will of God. While planning for the future is wise, Scripture warns against the arrogance of assuming we control tomorrow. Our lives are brief, and every plan must ultimately rest in the sovereign purposes of God.

Pastor Philip reminds us that faithful Christian living means acknowledging God in every decision, holding our plans loosely, and living fully for Him today. When we recognize that success, opportunity, and life itself come from the Lord, our plans become acts of faith rather than expressions of pride. True wisdom is not abandoning planning but learning to say with humility, “If the Lord wills.”

What is the greatest comfort a believer can know? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on the powerful truth found in Matthew 1:23—Immanuel, meaning “God with us.” Drawing from the life and final words of evangelist John Wesley, we are reminded that the greatest blessing in the Christian life is not success, achievement, or circumstance but the abiding presence of God through Jesus Christ.

Through the incarnation, the invisible God became visible in Christ, bringing God and humanity together. Jesus is the God-man who reconciles sinners to God through His atoning work on the cross. Because of Christ, believers can live and die without fear, knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God. No matter the situation, the greatest truth remains: best of all, God is with us.

Why is patience such an essential part of Christian living? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on 1 Corinthians 13:4 and the biblical call to demonstrate patient love toward others. Through the story of Charles Simeon, we are reminded that people, like unripe fruit, often need time, grace, and God’s work in their lives before real change takes place.

Pastor Philip explains that patience is not passive resignation but active trust in God. Scripture teaches that love “suffers long,” choosing kindness and restraint even when others test our limits. The patience we show reflects the patience God has shown us through Christ. As we grow in faith and maturity, we are called to extend that same grace to others—trusting that God, in His time, will complete the work He has begun.

What does God do with our sins when we confess them? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on Micah 7:18–19 and the remarkable promise of God’s forgiveness. Scripture teaches that when God pardons sin, He casts it into the depths of the sea—an image of complete and final forgiveness. Through Christ, believers are not only forgiven but also freed from the weight and guilt of their past.

Pastor Philip reminds us that while God forgets our confessed sins, we often continue to revisit them. Satan seeks to discourage believers by dredging up past failures, but the gospel calls us to move forward in faith. When God forgives, He removes our sins completely. For those walking in Christian faith, the message is clear: trust the mercy of God, rest in His grace, and stop fishing for sins that God has already buried.

Where does God meet us in seasons of sorrow? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on Psalm 56:8 and the comforting truth that God sees and remembers every tear His people shed. In a world marked by the sorrow introduced through sin, tears are a common part of the human experience. But Scripture reminds us that our pain is never unnoticed by God.

Drawing from David’s distress while surrounded by enemies, Pastor Philip highlights how prayer transforms fear into faith. David found comfort in the assurance that God collects every tear in His bottle, a powerful image of divine compassion and care. For believers, this promise brings hope in suffering and reminds us that our heavenly Father is attentive to every hardship. Until the day when God wipes away every tear in eternity, we can trust that He lovingly remembers each one we shed.

How should Christians respond to criticism, gossip, and careless words spoken about them? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on Ecclesiastes 7:21–22 and the wisdom of guarding our hearts from unnecessary offense. Drawing from the counsel of Charles Spurgeon, Pastor Philip reminds us that faithful Christian living often requires “a blind eye and a deaf ear” when it comes to the chatter and criticism of others.

Scripture teaches that in a fallen world, people will sin with their tongues. And paying too much attention to every comment or rumor can easily distract us from the work God has given us to do. Instead, believers are called to respond with humility and grace, remembering our own imperfections while refusing to harbor resentment. By learning to overlook minor offenses and keep our focus on God’s calling, we can protect our peace and serve Christ more faithfully.

Do the small things in life really matter? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on Luke 16:10 and the biblical principle that faithfulness in little things prepares us for greater responsibility. Through the story of John Broadus teaching a single blind student—whose lectures later became a widely influential book—we are reminded that nothing done for God is insignificant.

Jesus repeatedly taught that greatness in God’s kingdom is revealed through faithfulness in the ordinary and unseen moments of life. Whether in daily work, service, or spiritual discipline, the small acts of obedience shape character and prepare us for greater opportunities. For those seeking to grow in Christian living, the lesson is clear: never despise small beginnings. In God’s hands, small things can become very big things.
