Podcasts about admonish

Admonish the idle… Encourage the fainthearted… Help the weak… Be patient with all... Teacher - Scott Kenworthy

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 8, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   Romans 15:14  Paul says:  And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.   admonish:  to warn one another and to show the way of God ... to reprimand, to drive a person to turn back to the way of God.   When we see a person going in the way of this world, contrary to the way of God, we tell that person of the way of God and we urge that person not to go in the way of this world, which causes destruction to themselves.   Multiple times, I've witnessed Pam Padgett trying to turn both men and women to the Bible.  She shows these people the scripture on the subject, giving them a chance to turn from the way they are about to go and conform themselves to the Word of God.   I do this both to the church people and to the worldly people, for why would I want either to be destroyed in the way they are going.   (When they repent and heed the scriptures they are saved from this world and its ways.)   We conform ourselves to the image of Christ when we follow The Word and we give them an opportunity to do the same thing as we "admonish" them.  

Christ-Centered Relationships are Key to Spiritual Formation... I. Seek to Admonish not Shame Others! (14-15) II. Offer both Example and Instruction! (16-17) III. Tailor Your Posture to their Response! (18-21) Practical Implications o Where do you tend to use guilt/shame as motivators? o What can you invite others to observe to help them imitate? o Do you tend to err on the side of discipline or grace?

Revelation Dates: August 1836 – April 1838 Revelation Places: Salem, Massachusetts; Kirtland, Ohio; Farr West, Missouri Section 111 - Historical Background: In the summer of 1836, a member from Massachusetts by the name of Jonathan Burgess, came to Joseph regarding a sister member in Salem, Massachusetts who was now deceased. He explained that prior to her death she intended to give the church a large treasure of gold and silver which was stored in her basement. Seemingly true, Joseph knew this treasure would be a great blessing to help pay the significant debts taken on by the church for the building of the temple and assisting the saints in Zion. As Joseph, Hyrum, Sidney and Oliver left Kirtland on their mission to the Northeast, they stopped in Salem. Upon arrival they met with brother Burgess, but the sister's home (and treasure) could not be found due to the tremendous changes in the growth of the city. Meanwhile, back in Zion the saints who had been driven from Jackson County were settling in Clay County. Now, they were asked to leave that county also. Amidst all this turmoil, many of the church leadership were away on this missionary effort, and Joseph received the following revelation. Recap: The Lord is pleased with their journey, despite their folly (for the treasure). Don't be concerned about the debts of the church, for the Lord will give the saints power to cover these debts. Continue the missionary work in Salem and the vicinity. Section 112 - Historical Background: As it often occurs, following marvelous and beautiful spiritual manifestations, come equally spectacular evil doings, hardships and tribulation. The saints had experienced magnificent spiritual visions and wonders at the dedication of the Kirtland temple, but were now experiencing unprecedented mobs and persecution. Little did they know the Lord was about to manifest significant sifting in the  church, including its leadership. The year following the temple dedication saw a spirit of apostasy sweep through the church. In the midst of this, the Lord opened England as a focus for missionary work, which became incredibly successful. It had been nearly a year since the Lord had given Joseph a direct revelation. The Lord directs this to the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve (Thomas B Marsh is Quorum President). Recap: Thomas B Marsh was troubled, prayerfully seeking repentance, which was granted. Now, he must remain faithful and preach the gospel. The Lord knows his heart and he must refrain from being partial towards the brethren. Admonish the 12 Apostles for their sins, who must humble themselves, soften their hearts and repent. Marsh holds the keys to administer over the twelve. A day of desolation and lamentation will cover the earth, beginning in the church. Go with the twelve into the world and preach the Lord's gospel. Stay faithful. Section 113 - Historical Background: 1837 and 1838 were the saddest years in the church up to this time, with rampant apostasy and threatening murders. Armed mobs pursued Joseph constantly. In one day, Joseph was arrested, released and arrested again 6 times. Fleeing for their lives, the saints abandoned their homes and escaped into the western frontier, settling temporarily in Farr West Missouri. Upon his arrival, Joseph was asked several questions by the brethren concerning the book of Isaiah. This revelation is one of three sections in the Doctrine and Covenants that deal with scriptural interpretation (see also sections 74 and 77). Recap: Isaiah Ch 11: The Stem of Jesse is Jesus Christ; the Rod of Jesse describes Joseph Smith as a resurrected being; the Root of Jesse describes Joseph Smith in mortality; Ch 52: The strength of Zion is the Priesthood; To loosen the bands of her neck is in reference to scattered Israel and releasing the curse upon the Jews. Section 114 - Historical Background: This revelation relates primarily to David W Patton. In 1835 Patton was ordained to be an apostle and was always faithful to Joseph and obedient to God. In this revelation, David W Patton is called on a mission. Note: In October, 1838, while defending the church against an angry mob at Crooked River, Apostle David W. Patton was killed, thus becoming the first martyred “Prophet, Seer and Revelator” in the last days. Recap: David W. Patton to settle his affairs and go into the mission field to preach the gospel. Those who hold church positions that are unfaithful will be replaced.

Rick Vogt facilitates a discussion on admonishing one another with Katie Bonner and Gabe Harris

As we continue our study of “one another” passages, this lesson teaches us of the need to admonish, or urge, one another, to righteous living. Teacher: Allen Hutchison

Our culture generally doesn't align with what the Bible teaches us. Many people in our current culture believe that supporting those around us means supporting every choice that somebody makes, whether it's a good one or a bad one. But the Bible tells us that we should call each other out as brothers and sisters in Christ. When you see your friends doing sinful or harmful things you should lovingly help them get out of that sin. Today Pastor Ricky is going to encourage you to keep your friends accountable.

Are you sitting idle in your walk with God? The Bible's definition of idle might not be as obvious as it seems. Being idle in God's view doesn't mean sitting still and doing nothing. It also isn't a competition to see who can be the busiest or the best at what they do. You can be distracting yourself with social media, video games, or anything else. What you're involved in should reflect what God has put in your heart. Today Pastor Ricky is going to teach us what it means to be idle in the view of God.

Welcome to our 11th Command series were we learn to better love one another. Thanks for joining us. 

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // Stopping a Jesus Parade Mark 10:46-52 (NIV)“Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means ‘son of Timaeus'), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him.' So they called to the blind man, ‘Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you.' Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. ‘What do you want me to do for you?' Jesus asked him. The blind man said, ‘Rabbi, I want to see.' ‘Go,' said Jesus, ‘your faith has healed you.' Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.” Luke 4:16-21 (NIV)“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.' Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, ‘Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.'"  The 59 “One Another's” of the New Testament1.               “...Be at peace with each other.” (Mark 9:50) 2.               “...Wash one another's feet.” (John 13:14) (Serve one another)3.               “...Love one another...” (John 13:34) 4.              “...Love one another...” (John 13:34)5.               “...Love one another...” (John 13:35) 6.              “...Love one another...” (John 15:12) 7.               “...Love one another” (John 15:17)8.              “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love...” (Romans 12:10) 9.              “...Honor one another above yourselves.” (Romans 12:10)10.            “Live in harmony with one another...” (Romans 12:16) 11.             “...Love one another...” (Romans 13:8) 12.             “...Stop passing judgment on one another.” (Romans 14:13) 13.             “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you...” (Romans 15:7) 14.             “...Instruct one another.” (Romans 15:14) 15.             “Greet one another with a holy kiss...” (Romans 16:16) 16.            “...When you come together to eat, wait for each other.” (I Cor. 11:33) 17.             “...Have equal concern for each other.” (I Corinthians 12:25) 18.            “...Greet one another with a holy kiss.” (I Corinthians 16:20) 19.            “Greet one another with a holy kiss.” (II Corinthians 13:12) 20.            “...Serve one another in love.” (Galatians 5:13) 21.             “If you keep on biting and devouring each other...you will be destroyed by each other.” (Galatians 5:15) 22.            “Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (Galatians 5:26) 23.            “Carry each other's burdens...” (Galatians 6:2) 24.            “...Be patient, bearing with one another in love.” (Ephesians 4:2) 25.            “Be kind and compassionate to one another...” (Ephesians 4:32) 26.            “...Forgiving each other...” (Ephesians 4:32) 27.            “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.” (Ephesians 5:19) 28.            “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Ephesians 5:21) 29.            “...In humility consider others better than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3)30.            “Do not lie to each other...” (Colossians 3:9) 31.             “Bear with each other...” (Colossians 3:13) 32.            “...Forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.” (Colossians 3:13) 33.            “Teach...[one another]” (Colossians 3:16) 34.            “...Admonish one another” (Colossians 3:16) 35.            “...Make your love increase and overflow for each other.” (I Thessalonians 3:12) 36.            “...Love each other.” (I Thessalonians 4:9) 37.            “...Encourage each other...” (I Thessalonians 4:18) 38.            “...Encourage each other...” I Thessalonians 5:11) 39.            “...Build each other up...” (I Thessalonians 5:11) 40.            “Encourage one another daily...” Hebrews 3:13) 41.             “...Spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10:24) 42.            “...Encourage one another.” (Hebrews 10:25) 43.            “...Do not slander one another.” (James 4:11) 44.            “Don't grumble against each other...” (James 5:9) 45.            “Confess your sins to each other...” (James 5:16) 46.            “...Pray for each other.” (James 5:16) 47.            “...Love one another deeply, from the heart.” (I Peter 3:8) 48.            “...Live in harmony with one another...” (I Peter 3:8) 49.            “...Love each other deeply...” (I Peter 4:8) 50.            “Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” (I Peter 4:9) 51.             “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others...” (I Peter 4:10) 52.       ...

rwh10may Ep.363 – Run With Horses Podcast – A Growth Mindset for Disciple Makers Podcast: rwh.podbean.com Website: www.runwithhorses.net Youtube: https://youtube.com/@rwhpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RWHpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rwh_podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcast Author pages with links to all books on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BCSDDVLB – James Norman Smith https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMGW51FW – Susan Jane Smith   1. The Growth Mindset in a Christian Context Paul challenged believers to put effort into their spiritual life. Change is a part of growth and we should desire to be more like Jesus. A Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit who is working to make us like Jesus. Change will happen. The joy is that we can embrace it and benefit from working with God instead of against Him. A growth-minded believer: Welcomes challenges as opportunities for sanctification (James 1:2–4 NKJV). Perseveres under trial, knowing endurance produces spiritual maturity (Romans 5:3–5 NKJV). Seeks feedback and correction, recognizing rebuke refines faith (Proverbs 27:17 NKJV; Proverbs 12:1 NKJV). Celebrates others' growth, rejoicing when fellow believers flourish (Romans 12:15 NKJV). 2. Discipleship and the Great Commission Jesus' charge to “make disciples” frames our growth-oriented calling: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV) A growth mindset fuels the “teaching” phase: we believe learners can grow in knowledge, obedience, and Christ-likeness. It also shapes our own approach, as we accept that our skills in evangelism, teaching, and mentoring improve through practice, prayer, and reliance on God. 3. Spiritual Growth is a Process Scripture depicts growth as a journey: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” —2 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection…” —Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” —Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) These passages underscore that maturity takes intentional effort—exactly the outworking of a growth mindset in the spiritual realm. 4. The “One Another's” and Growth Mindset Command Scripture (NKJV) Growth-Mindset Connection Love one another John 13:34–35 Encourages perseverance in relationships even when hard. Serve one another Galatians 5:13 Builds humility and stewards gifts for others' growth. Encourage one another 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Puts others first. Admonish one another Colossians 3:16; Romans 15:14 Welcomes correction for mutual sanctification. Bear one another's burdens Galatians 6:2 Cultivates perseverance and compassion. Spur one another on Hebrews 10:24 Motivates toward good deeds and spiritual progress. Pray for one another James 5:16 Invites God's transforming power in growth. Be kind and tenderhearted Ephesians 4:32 Gives mercy to those who need it, we all do! Together, these “one another's” form the relational soil in which a growth mindset flourishes—each believer both a learner and a teacher, giving and receiving grace, correction, encouragement, and accountability. 5. Practical Implications for Disciple Makers Model a growth mindset by sharing your own struggles and progress in Bible study, prayer, or ministry skills. Set incremental goals for disciples (e.g., memorizing Scripture, leading a small group), celebrating small wins to build confidence (Zechariah 4:10 NKJV). Cultivate “one another” rhythms in your church—regular accountability groups, prayer partnerships, and service teams. Teach the biblical process of growth—explain that sanctification involves trials, correction, and perseverance, rooted in passages like James 1:2–4 (NKJV) and Hebrews 12:11 (NKJV). Encourage reflection—have disciples journal progress, confess weaknesses, and plan next steps, reinforcing that effort and dependence on Christ yield transformation.   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   The Holy Spirit reshapes how we think about challenges, our own abilities, and the process of sanctification. 1. Confess Fixed-Mindset Thinking and Renew Your Mind “I can't change,” “I can't do that.” and the like are big hinderances to spiritual growth. Lies need to be brought into the light and exchanged for truth. The question should be, “What is God doing? What does HE want me to do?” God empowers His people for His work. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” —Romans 12:2 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “mindset journal.” When you catch yourself thinking “I'll never grow in this,” write it down and pray: “Lord, show me Your truth here.” Replace it with a Scriptural affirmation (“I can grow by God's grace”—Philippians 4:13). 2. Meditate on God's Word Daily A growth mindset flourishes when immersed in truth. Scripture both reveals God's power to change us and gives the roadmap. Read, Think Deeply about,and put it into practice. “…but his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.” —Psalm 1:2 (NKJV) Practice: Start with 5–10 minutes each morning reading a short passage (e.g. one chapter of Proverbs or the Gospels). Ask: “What does this teach me about God's promise to strengthen me?” 3. Pray for Wisdom and Perseverance Growth requires divine enablement—both insight and the grit to keep going. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…” —James 1:5 (NKJV) “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” —James 1:2–3 (NKJV) Practice: Begin each day by asking God for wisdom to see opportunities for growth and the patience to endure them. When trials come (at work, in relationships, in ministry), thank Him for the refining work He intends. 4. Engage in Christian Community Even if attendance has been spotty, intentional fellowship is vital for encouragement, accountability, and skill development. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another…” —Hebrews 10:24–25 (NKJV) “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” —Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) Practice: Commit to attending at least one fellowship gathering (Sunday service, small group, men's/women's Bible study). Ask a mature believer to meet monthly as a “growth partner” for prayer and feedback. 5. Set Small, Measurable Goals for Spiritual Disciplines SMART goals Growth rarely happens overnight. Incremental victories build confidence that God can grow you further. “For who has despised the day of small things?…” —Zechariah 4:10 (NKJV) Practice: Choose one discipline (e.g., Scripture memory, daily prayer journaling, service) and set a tiny goal: memorize one verse a week, pray five minutes daily, serve once a month. Celebrate each completion by recording it in your journal and thanking God. 6. Welcome Correction and Feedback A growth mindset leans into rebuke, knowing it produces maturity. “The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.” —Proverbs 15:31 (NKJV) “But exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” —Hebrews 3:13 (NKJV) Practice: Invite a trusted mentor or friend to give you honest feedback on your spiritual habits. When you receive correction, respond with “Thank you—help me understand how to improve.” 7. Practice Gratitude and Celebrate Others' Growth Focusing on progress—both yours and others'—reinforces a mindset that abilities can expand. “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” —Romans 12:15 (NKJV) “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “gratitude list” of spiritual wins you see in yourself and others. Send a quick note or text to encourage a fellow believer when they share a breakthrough. 8. Rely on God's Strength in Weakness A growth mindset isn't self-reliance; it's dependence on Christ, who is at work in us. “…when I am weak, then I am strong.” —2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) Practice: In moments of discouragement (“I failed again…”), confess your weakness and ask Christ to work through it. Memorize 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 and speak it aloud whenever you feel stuck.     **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making Spiritual Warfare Jesus – Incarnation God's Sovereignty God's sovereignty means that God reigns over all things with perfect wisdom, power, and love, and nothing in our lives is outside His control. 1. God's Sovereignty Brings Peace in Uncertainty When life feels chaotic or unjust, God's sovereignty assures us that nothing happens apart from His knowledge or plan. “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.” —Psalm 103:19 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” —Romans 8:28 (NKJV) Why it matters: Even suffering and confusion have purpose under God's rule. He's not reacting—He's reigning. 2. God's Sovereignty Fuels Evangelism and Disciple-Making Because God is sovereign over salvation, we can evangelize boldly, knowing He draws hearts to Himself. “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” —John 6:37 (NKJV) “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…” —John 6:44 (NKJV) Why it matters: The results of disciple-making aren't on your shoulders. You sow and water; God gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6–7 NKJV). 3. God's Sovereignty Grounds Our Identity and Purpose You are not random. You are created, saved, and called intentionally. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” —Psalm 139:16 (NKJV) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” —Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) Why it matters: Your life, your calling, and even your challenges are part of God's good and sovereign plan. 4. God's Sovereignty Produces Worship and Humility When we recognize God is in control and we are not, we bow in awe and dependence. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.” —1 Chronicles 29:11 (NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. —Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) Why it matters: Sovereignty reminds us that God is God—and we are not. 5. God's Sovereignty Guarantees His Promises Will Stand We can believe God's Word with full assurance because no power can thwart His will. “Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” —Isaiah 43:13 (NKJV) “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.” —Psalm 33:11 (NKJV) Why it matters: Our eternal hope is secure because it rests in God's unshakable rule.   **(1:00)** It's important for all of us to see the big picture in life. God IS working and He WILL complete His work in you. Daily remind yourself that God is drawing you to Himself and He invites you to be an active participant in your spiritual growth. Reject the lie that you can't change. See the person God wants you to be and put real effort into doing your part, trusting that God will always do His part.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Whose responsibility is it to teach in the local church? Because Jesus is our great high priest, all Christians are called to "teach and admonish one another" (Colossians 3:16). In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to live out this command in the ordinary life of a local church community.

A Noble Task: The Elder's Call to Serve by Leading (1 Thess 5:12-13)

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 18, 2025 is: admonish • ad-MAH-nish • verb To admonish someone is to express warning or disapproval towards them, or to urge them to do something. // We were admonished for arriving late to the meeting. // They were admonished to take advantage of the opportunity. See the entry > Examples: "My parents admonished me and my siblings to stay away from the windows." — Jelani Cobb, The New Yorker, 16 Mar. 2023 Did you know? We won't admonish you if you don't know the origins of admonish. This word, along with its archaic synonym monish, likely traces back to the Latin verb monēre, meaning "to bring to the notice of," "to remind," and "to warn." Among monēre's other English descendants are monitor, premonition, monument, and (gulp) monster. Admonishing someone (for, say, being late) hardly risks being labeled a monster, however. While a word like rebuke suggests sternness and severity, admonish usually suggests friendly, gentle, or earnest criticizing done in the spirit of counselling and instructing.

My name is Gregg and this is episode 0.21i: Sayings of the Savior Part IX: What's One More?   All of these aught episodes are made to let us build our Pope-colored glasses so we can use the same lenses when we look at history together. If you're lost, start at the beginning!   Today, as promised, we wrap up our Sayings of the Savior series with some general takeaways and a roundup of topics I had originally planned to cover in previous episodes or as part of Sayings of the Savior but didn't get around to. You can think of this episode as a grab bag or a pit stop or whatever you like. Either way, no new Sayings of the Savior, just some new and possibly overdue takeaways from everything we've discussed so far.   First off, and this one is well overdue, there's the basic question of what an APOSTLE is. In Eastern Churches the word is often used more loosely, but in the West, which our Pope-Colored glasses tend to treat as default because frankly that's what the Popes have tended to do, the word Apostle refers to the Twelve Apostles, that early core group of followers of Jesus. The broader term for a follower of Jesus in his life is a DISCIPLE and sometimes it's still used for Christians today, like saying we're all called to be disciples, but if someone says “the disciples”, they mean a member of that first generation, folks who knew Jesus personally and who followed Him. If you want to know more than a hundred other terms for different roles and such within the Catholic Church, I came out with a Holy Org Chart episode last year that's linked in the show notes, and I named off all the apostles and their aliases early on on 0.20, which I'm not linking because I reference other worldbuilding episodes too often to give them that treatment but if you want them all together that's one of the things you can find on the custom playlists available at popEularhistory.com.   In a nutshell, the purpose of all the Gospel teachings we've been covering has been to teach us how to live rightly, and of course to make us *want* to live rightly, because knowing and doing are two different things. The process by which we develop and carry out a desire to live rightly is called CONVERSION, and the general code that can indicate what it is to live rightly is the MORAL LAW, or you could even simply call it the GOSPEL. Of course Jesus gave us the super summary version of what we should be doing with his two great commandments-love God and your neighbor, but of course you know Catholicism is a big fan of standardizing things and making lists, so let's go through some of the lists relevant to the ECONOMY OF SALVATION, that is, to God's plan for how the universe is going to work out ok. The economy of salvation, that master plan, is also sometimes called the DIVINE ECONOMY.   First list, the three Theological Virtues, namely Faith, Hope, and Charity. With a list of only three I'll be able to get away with offering some specific definitions as well, but just know that not all of the lists are so short. When you get a definition straight from the Bible it's worth using, so I'll use Saint Paul's definition of faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb 11:1). Meanwhile, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which I believe I've already introduced but just in case know that it's a big guide to Catholicism that I use to help build my framework, anyways the Catechism defines hope as the theological virtue by which we desire and expect from God both eternal life and the grace we need to attain it. Also when I say “the Catechism” I mean the universal one published under Pope John Paul II. Absolutely there has been more than one over the years but when folks simply say “the catechism”, that's the one they mean. And to put my cards on the table, it is my intention to give some airtime to every term the Catechism covers in its glossary in my worldbuilding episodes. Anyways, more on grace later, for now know that in Catholic lingo, the last theological virtue of charity isn't a handout, instead it's a form of love. Specifically, the Catechism defines “Charity” as “The theological virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God.” In other words, charity is the key to fulfilling the Great Commandments and by extension morality in general.   The next list I should introduce you to as we take a big look at Catholic moral teaching is the Cardinal Virtues, namely Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance. The Cardinal Virtues are fantastic tools for living a moral life. Prudence is what helps you determine the right thing to do in any given situation, justice is the firm resolve to act rightly in the interests of those that are not yourself, no matter the obstacles, fortitude is the grit and determination to carry on with the prudentially determined just path come what may, and temperance helps in that process by helping to keep you balanced in your approach, regulating the will and your passions, passions being on our list for further discussion shortly, in fact we might as well talk about the principal passions, since they do keep coming up when talking moral theology in a Catholic context.   You won't be too far off the mark if you think of the passions as emotions, but if you think of the term passive that will be especially helpful. They are forces that influence us as we go about our business. The simplest passion is love, which draws us to what we perceive as good, in contrast to hate, which repels us from what we perceive as bad. Related to these are desire and fear respectively, which are more about the act of being compelled or repelled, that moving sort of energy between us and what we love or hate. If we receive what we love, the relevant passion is joy, while if we encounter what we hate, we may face either sadness, if we are resigned, or anger, if we actively reject it, believing we can somehow get through what we hate to some loved good beyond. Ultimately the Church sees the passions as morally neutral: it is not good to love something if the thing that is loved is bad, meanwhile it is bad to hate something that is good. But if you love what is good and hate what is bad, that's good. I probably could have summarized that more clearly but in the end what matters most is how you respond to your passions than what your initial passions are. Feelings are natural and to be expected, what you are called to control is how you respond to those feelings.   When it comes to those responses, those concrete actions, the Catholic Church draws especially from the Beatitudes we covered in the Sermon on the Mount as inspiration for labeling not one but two sets of seven works of mercy: The Corporal Works of Mercy and the Spiritual Works of Mercy. By the way, taken collectively, the lessons from the Gospels can be called the Law of the Gospel.   Now, I hope you don't mind, but we're doing three lists of the extra special number seven today, and if I go into detail on each one we'll be dragging out what I was hoping to have be sort of a quick sort of pallet cleanser of an episode. So instead I'll simply list, the acts are fairly intuitive from their names anyways in these simple moral imperatives.   The corporal works of mercy, which we have on index cards around our home by way of reminder, are:   Feed the hungry. Give water to the thirsty. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Visit the sick. Visit the imprisoned. Bury the dead.   Meanwhile, the spiritual works of mercy are:   Instruct the ignorant. Counsel the doubtful. Admonish the sinners. Bear patiently those who wrong us. Forgive offenses. Comfort the afflicted. Pray for the living and the dead.   The third promised list of seven is the gifts of the Holy Spirit, as in, what you can expect from the action of the Spirit in your heart. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are:   Wisdom Understanding Counsel Fortitude Knowledge Piety and Fear of the Lord.   And ok, Fear Of the Lord isn't as straightforward a concept as the others. Basically, it's the awareness that God is much more than you, putting things into perspective.   In the end, our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to use these gifts and fruits and even passions to build these virtues and live a moral life. We cannot do that without God's help, which is where grace comes in, something we'll be circling back to more than once. That's because as discussed in Episode 0.1, we've all got the effects of Original Sin impacting us and our world, including concupiscence, which is a particular problem impacting our passions, inclining us towards sin–even after baptism wipes away original sin itself that particular effect of the fall remains, though the sacraments do lessen concupiscence in us, helping draw us to VIRTUE--moral choices--over VICE–immoral choices.   No one lives in isolation, time and again Jesus frames our salvation as a matter of how we interact with those around us, especially the less fortunate. Given this context, it's no surprise that racism is among the glossary terms in the Catechism, being defined as “unjust discrimination on the basis of a persons's race; a violation of human dignity, and a sin against justice.”   In a similar camp, the catechism's glossary covers three two-word concepts that start with “social” and are the sort of things where you might appreciate a trigger warning if you're the type that hates trigger warnings; namely “social sin”, “social justice”, and “social teaching”.   “Social sin” is listed as “the effect of sin over time, which can affect society and its institutions to create “structures of sin,”. If rampant generational inequality doesn't fall under this, I don't know what does.   “Social justice”, meanwhile, is something the Catechism defines as “the respect for the human person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it. Society must provide the conditions that allow people to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and vocation.”   Finally, the Catechism of the Catholic Church lists “social teaching” as “the teaching (social doctrine) of the Church on the truth of revelation about human dignity, human solidarity, and the principles of justice and peace; the moral judgments about economic and social matters required by such truth and about the demands of justice and peace.”   Of course, not all communities are so sweeping, and sometimes small actions can have the biggest impact of all. To this end, keep in mind your responsibility to those around you. One particular issue to avoid, and yes, you got me, I'm shoehorning another glossary term in here, is detraction, the “disclosure of another's faults and sins, without an objectively valid reason, to persons who did not know about them, thus causing unjust injury to that person's reputation”.   If you're doing good and avoiding evil, and firing on all cylinders with everything, know that you're doing so with God's help, but of course you already know that, because you have humility, right? Humility of course being defined as “the virtue by which a Christian acknowledges that God is the author of all good.” Anyways, with God's help, you stand a chance of reaching Beatitude, that is, the blessings of heaven. In fact, with God's help, should you choose to accept it, it's guaranteed.   So, there we have it. From the beatitudes to Beatitude in a nutshell, and I even got some definitional errands done along the way. Plus, even better, we've got time for Saint or Aint today!   SAINT OR AINT   At the end of the episode on Luke I gave a brief bio and your job was to determine whether they were a real early missionary saint or not, inspired by all the saints stories that sprang up over the years in connection with The Seventy disciples Jesus sent out in Luke. Answers ready?   Garius Stephanus: AINT A SAINT, those that didn't clock the name might be feeling a little silly, but that's alright, that one was of course a slightly embellished edition of a quick hagiography summoned by the phenomenal Garry Stevens of the History in the Bible podcast, who was kind enough to be our anniversary guest last year. Garry's actually wrapped up his show which is bittersweet. Bitter because, well, Garry's wrapped up his show, sweet because he's begun turning h is show into a series of books! The fourth book is out now, linked in the show notes , and the first three books are promised to follow, and yeah, you heard that right, he's doing that in that order. For the next round, we have a bit of a seafaring saint who definitely went to Turkey, Greece, and Malta and who may have gone to Spain, but that wasn't the end because he was traditionally martyred in Rome. He's traditionally depicted carrying a sword and a book, though sometimes pansies leave off the sword. You'll get your answers in the next worldbuilding episode next month, which, unbelievably, will not be another Sayings of the Savior episode, but instead starting out a whole new mystery of the rosary: the Transfiguration. So tune in next month for 0.22 Eye Has Not Seen.   Thank you for listening, God bless you all! Thanks, Joe!

Romans 15:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14, 1 Cor. 4:14, Acts 20:31 We are called to instruct/admonish one another when we see another believer getting off track in their life or faith.  This is incredibly hard to do well and very hard to receive well, and yet when we get off track, we need people who are willing and able to warn us and call us to correction. _______________________________________Orchard Community Church8180 Telephone RdVentura CA 93004www.OrchardVentura.orgContact us at Info@OrchardVentura.orgOrchard's Streaming and Song Select CCLI# 160190

Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net. And now, on with the show...   (27:00) ******* (27:00)   Habits - **Community**  Acts 2:41-47 -  > 41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 46So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.   Romans 12:4-5 -  >4For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.    Ephesians 2:19-22 - >19Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.    (23:00) ****** (23:00)   MY WORKING DEFINITION OF CHURCH A CHURCH is a group of followers of Jesus who worship Him in spirit and truth, humbly offering their lives as living sacrifices, together living out the MISSION of Jesus as His witnesses TO THE WORLD, by sharing the gospel and making disciples through teaching obedience to His commands as they edify and EQUIP OTHERS to join them on HIS MISSION.   The discipleship pathway is an intentional plan to equip others to be on the mission of Jesus.   Don't forget the goals of the pathway. Clear goals are important. What are the goals of a discipleship pathway? a. self-feeding Christians b. everyday missionaries – everyone on the mission of Jesus c. disciple-makers d. pastors e. new churches f. all members of the church, shepherded well   We are still on the SECOND step in the Pathway;  ENGAGE, CONNECT, EQUIP, RELEASE   The church's role in connecting people to Jesus. What can the church do intentionally to help people connect their life, values, and purpose to Jesus? 1. Biblical teaching and preaching - the Bible is the foundation   a. Our identity in Christ-  >ACCEPTED I Am God's Child- John 1:12 I Am United with the Lord- 1 Corinthians 6:17 I Am Chosen and Adopted- Ephesians 2:3-8 I Am Complete in Jesus- John 4:1-45 I Have Direct Access to God Through Jesus- Hebrews 14:14-16 >SECURE I Am Free from Condemnation- Romans 8:1-2 and John 8:1-12 God Is at Work in My Life for His Glory and My Good- Romans 8:28 >SIGNIFICANT I Am Connected to Jesus as My Source of Life- John 15:5 I Have Been Called to Bear Fruit- John 15:16 I Am Seated with Jesus in Heaven- Ephesians 2:6 I Am God's Workmanship- Ephesians 2:10 I Can Approach God with Freedom and Confidence- Ephesians 3:12 REF (https://rootedministry.com/how-im-teaching-students-to-ground-their-identity-in-christ/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw5Ky1BhAgEiwA5jGujmbR95PXgQowc5t6NcSS8cXzKPrMbmAxT2k7yGq0Hb6T1fTk9EHcyhoC_E4QAvD_BwE)   b. The character and mind of Christ Philippians 2 - 5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.    c. The mission of Christ Matthew 28:18-20 - Be and Make Disciples (followers of Jesus)   d. Healthy relationships aa. United in Christ bb. New family Answer the question, what does each believer need to grow to become more like Jesus and to embrace the mission of Jesus as their own?   2. Equipping and Training a. Spiritual gifts Romans 12:6-8  1 Corinthians 12:8-10    b. Spiritual disciplines >1. Prayer At least 25 times in the Gospels, we read of Jesus praying. According to Luke 5:16, Jesus prayed often by himself. In other words, He made a habit of it. >2. Fasting At the onset of His public ministry, Jesus took 40 days to fast in the wilderness. While it made His body weak, His spirit grew stronger. >3. Public Worship Luke 4:16 says that “on the Sabbath day [Jesus] went into the synagogue, as was his custom.” >4. Bible Reading Studying Scripture was an important part of Jesus' life. In fact, by age 12, He was already as biblically literate as the leading teachers (Luke 2:41-47). >5. Solitude and Silence Jesus regularly ministered in front of large crowds. But He also made a habit of getting away from time to time (Luke 5:16). In fact, He even encouraged His disciples to get away to a quiet place and rest (Mark 6:31). >6. Service In Mark 10:45, Jesus said His goal in coming to earth was not to be served but to serve others and to give His life for our benefit. REF (https://influencemagazine.com/practice/seven-spiritual-practices-of-jesus)   c. Practical ministry skills Answer the question, what training or skills does each believer need to carry out their role in the church and on the mission?   (00:00)  END PART 1 ******** (27:00)  BEGIN PART 2    3. Introduction to Personal Ministry a. Where has God placed you? Our individual stories are part of a much bigger Story.   Ultimately, this Story is not about us, but about Him.   God works in unexpected, unexplainable ways to accomplish His purposes.   God sovereignly and purposefully ordains and orchestrates the circumstances of our lives.   What we see now is not the whole story.   We can trust Him to write the story of those we love.   The challenges we face may be a part of God writing someone else's story.   Those who trust in Him will never be disappointed.   You can trust God to write your story… REF (https://openthebible.org/article/10-things-to-remember-about-gods-providence-in-our-lives/)   All this also makes a difference when we consider: b. Who has God put in your life? > Home > Work/ School > Community – The Art of Neighboring > Church Encourage everyone to see the relationships around them and bring Jesus into them.   4. Corporate Ministry a. How do we intentionally serve each other? One Another's of the NT Love one another (John 13:34 - This command occurs at least 16 times) Be devoted to one another (Romans 12:10) Honor one another above yourselves (Romans 12:10) Live in harmony with one another (Romans 12:16) Build up one another (Romans 14:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:11) Be likeminded towards one another (Romans 15:5) Accept one another (Romans 15:7) Admonish one another (Romans 15:14; Colossians 3:16) Greet one another (Romans 16:16) Care for one another (1 Corinthians 12:25) Serve one another (Galatians 5:13) Bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2) Forgive one another (Ephesians 4:2, 32; Colossians 3:13) Be patient with one another (Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:13) Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15, 25) Be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32) Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19) Submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21, 1 Peter 5:5) Consider others better than yourselves (Philippians 2:3) Look to the interests of one another (Philippians 2:4) Bear with one another (Colossians 3:13) Teach one another (Colossians 3:16) Comfort one another (1 Thessalonians 4:18) Encourage one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Exhort one another (Hebrews 3:13) Stir up [provoke, stimulate] one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24) Show hospitality to one another (1 Peter 4:9) Employ the gifts that God has given us for the benefit of one another (1 Peter 4:10) Clothe yourselves with humility towards one another (1 Peter 5:5) Pray for one another (James 5:16) Confess your faults to one another (James 5:16)    b. How do my gifts build up the body of Christ?  You are part of something bigger than than yourself! > Intro to church ministries > Prayer service, prayer focus > One Another's of NT > Intro to Small Groups - you can learn to help others grow, in individual relationships and in small groups or family units.   Help everyone ask and answer the question, what is my role in the local body of Christ? How does my church need my gifts?     (5:00) ********* (5:00)   DOCTRINE August – Jesus September – Holy Spirit   Jesus - God Incarnate Merriam-Webster: Incarnation - the union of divinity with humanity in Jesus Christ "..at one point in time and space, God entered the world, in the person of Jesus Christ, as He had never done before or since. ...the doctrine of the incarnation means that God is in the world and at work there." - Millard J. Erickson   Hebrews 4:14- 16  - 14Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.   He knows us and our need. He can relate to us. He is the perfect one to represent us, as God He is able, as man He understand our need.   Hebrews 9:11-14 - 11But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?    He is the perfect High Priest who alone can offer the perfect sacrifice for our sins.       **(1:00)**   How is your church doing at helping new believers connect with Jesus in a real and meaningful way? Are relationships in the church growing and strong, able to handle the trials that always come our way? If we are too be intentional disciples of Jesus it is important that we make a genuine effort to live out the purpose of the church together.   Thanks for joining me again today!

April 19, 2024 - Friday 9:00AM MPR1 Speaker   Speaker: Cliff Goodwin Looking at John Chapter 7.   33 Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”   We need to be teaching and preparing our children and grandchildren to be leaders. "Our present leaders will not always be present" 1. Accept - We have to accept the mortality of our leaders and ourselves. But the lord's work continues. Joshua - Moses prepared Joshua to lead. 2 Kings - Elijah prepared Elisha 2. Avail - We have to avail ourselves to the present opportunities. John 12 - 35 So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” Use it or loose it. Take advantage of what is available to you. Exodus 33 - 11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent. 3. Admonish - "to put in mind" - We have to be deliberate on what we put in the minds of our young people. We need to gradually teach. As the audience grows so does the lesson. Look at John 16, Jesus does this with his apostles. We need to warn of possible dangers. We need to find those who aspire to be a church leader. 4. Aspire - We need to aspire for better. We need to have faith in God's word. We need to set goals. We need to strive for EMI, (every member involved).   Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD0KZJN6rxs   Duration 41:10

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 2:22-40 - When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to Him, he took Him into his arms and blessed God, saying: “Now, Master, You may let Your servant go in peace, according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for Your people Israel.” The Child's father and mother were amazed at what was said about Him; and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted —and you yourself a sword will pierce— so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage, and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer. And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the Child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem. When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions of the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The Child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon Him. Or LK 2:22-32 - When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord, and to offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons, in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to Him, he took Him into his arms and blessed God, saying: “Now, Master, You may let Your servant go in peace, according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for Your people Israel.” Feast of the Presentation of the Lord O Jesus, have mercy upon us!

Friends, we all strive to be spiritually great. We want to be magnanimous, great-souled men and women. But how do we get there? The Church offers a concrete seven-fold path, and that's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's “Word on Fire Show” episode.
