Podcasts about already but not yet

Paul ends chapter 13 by reminding believers of the "Already But Not Yet." Christ has secured our salvation and we are redeemed, but we live in a world that is still suffering under nightfall. Time for Christians to wake up and share the light.

What are you truly trying to attain in your spiritual journey? This question anchors our exploration of Philippians 3:12-14, where Paul reveals the delicate balance between who we already are in Christ and who we're becoming.The spiritual life isn't about finding some secret formula or hidden path—it's about the gradual transformation into Christ's image. Paul gives us a three-part framework that revolutionizes our approach to discipleship: forgetting the past, embracing the present, and looking ahead to the future. This isn't just theoretical theology; it's practical wisdom for anyone who feels defined by their history or stuck in their current circumstances.One of the most powerful concepts we unpack is the Michelangelo metaphor of spiritual formation. When the famous sculptor was asked how he created his masterpieces, he explained that he simply removed everything from the stone that didn't look like the image he saw within it. Similarly, God sees the masterpiece within us and is carefully chiseling away everything that doesn't reflect Christ's image. Your mistakes aren't marring the sculpture—they're being removed to reveal the true you.Perhaps most revolutionary is the shift in how we view others. When we understand that the ultimate goal is union with Christ, we stop seeing people as obstacles, competitors, or even just friends—we see them as image-bearers whom we're called to help move closer to Christ. This transforms how we approach marriage, leadership, conflict, and every relationship. Instead of merely avoiding sin, we actively pursue honoring others as Christ.Whether you're wrestling with past trauma, feeling frustrated with your current spiritual progress, or unsure about your future direction, this message offers a fresh perspective that combines theological depth with practical application. Join us as we discover what it means to press on toward the goal for which Christ has taken hold of us.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

We find ourselves living in what theologians call the "already but not yet" tension. Jesus has already defeated sin, death, and evil through his resurrection, establishing God's kingdom. Yet we're still waiting for his return to fully establish that kingdom over all creation. This explains why we experience both the reality of God's presence and the ongoing brokenness of our world.Our current post-Christian culture presents unique challenges. Unlike pre-Christian societies that never heard the gospel, post-Christian culture has heard it, benefited from it historically, but now wants to move beyond it. We see this in attempts to maintain Christian values like justice and equality while rejecting their theological foundation. The result is justice without grace, law without love, and moral outrage without forgiveness.As followers of Jesus, we're called to be a "creative minority" in this cultural moment. Throughout history, God has worked through faithful remnants who maintain strong connections with the outside world while staying true to their convictions. Like the seven thousand in Elijah's time who hadn't bowed to Baal, we're part of God's strategic plan for renewal.This calling requires three commitments: faithfulness to God and each other even when we don't feel like it, discipline that brings our desires into alignment with Jesus' way, and embracing the quiet revolution of living such winsome lives that our neighbors are drawn to Jesus through friendship rather than arguments.We can face the future with hope because Emmanuel, God with us, promises to be with us always. We're not just surviving in a hostile culture but participating in God's eternal project of renewal until Jesus returns.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

The Rock of Already But Not Yet Psalm 65 Big Idea: Recalibrating to understand that this life only provides a "taste" allows us to enjoy and anticipate! 1. Deep Presence (1-4) 2. Decisive Preservation (5-8) 3. Definitive Provision (9-13)

Don't miss this week's message by Lead Pastor, Jeff Evans. 

Speaker: Tony Billington   Main Idea: Through God's refuge and strength, we have hope for the already, but not yet Kingdom.   Application: Cease, and Know that He is God

Today, as part of our Kingdom Conversations series we are looking at a concept of Kingdom Theology that the Vineyard Association has planted its feet in, and that is the, "Already but Not Yet." How do we navigate through life knowing that the Kingdom of God is available to us in the here and now, but not yet fully established?

Join us this Sunday as we unpack our final installment of "Back To Eden". We will be answering the question, How to live in the tension of "already, but not yet" that the gospel declares about us. For example, perhaps you've wondered how we can already be free from sin, but yet we still struggle and fall into the same sin. - Let's discover the answer to this gospel tension together this weekend. 

The Apocalypse | Week 27 Already, But Not Yet May 18, 2025 Pastor Ben Bufkin 00:00 Come, all who are hungry and thirsty 26:56 Listen, all who have ears to hear 40:49 Receive, the abundant Grace of the Lord Jesus

Katlyn Wyble | Respond Women's RetreatIn this session, Katlyn teaches through what it means to live faithfully in the tension between the "already" and the "not yet" of God's promises.When trials come, it's easy to question God's faithfulness—but His Word reminds us that he never forsakes his saints. She discusses the importance of daily putting off the old self and putting on the new to stand firm against the enemy. Faithfulness isn't just for the big moments—it's cultivated through small acts of obedience. As we wait on Jesus, we need to ask: What good can we do right now, right where we are?Remaining faithful in our current season is part of God's greater plan. Walking consistently with the Lord means we grow in faithfulness, even when we don't immediately see the fruit.Respond Women's RetreatPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

If I've died to my sin, then why does sin seem to still have mastery over me? One of the greatest struggles for all Christians is not necessarily external but within. We believe we are saved but yet struggle with sin, which at times leads to doubts, frustrating cycles, or bouts with apathy. How do we navigate the reality of this struggle and find victory?

Zechariah 9:1-17

Pastor Thomas emphasizes the importance of pursuing maturity in Christ, urging believers to embrace their calling for spiritual growth. He outlines three stages of perfection: positional, relative, and ultimate, encouraging believers to progress toward experiential knowledge and holiness. The pastor reminds the congregation to forget past achievements and failures, focusing instead on their journey of faith and deepening intimacy with Christ. Additionally, he highlights the church's Grow classes as a practical means for congregants to engage in their race toward spiritual growth, ultimately aiming for the prize of knowing Christ fully.

Homily from Ascension Sunday, A.D. MMXXIV.

Sun 8:00 am | Speaker/s: Rev Adam Dodds

Series: GraceService: Wed ClassType: Bible ClassSpeaker: Ryan Boyer

Today is the 4th Sunday of Advent. It is also Christmas Eve. Because this year Advent is as short as it can be, with Christmas falling on a Monday, we don't really get a “fourth week of Advent.” We only get a 4th Sunday, and even then not the whole Sunday, with our Christmas celebrations beginning with the 4:30  Vigil Mass. Once every seven years we get Christmas and Advent in one Sunday like this.  The altar is decorated with poinsettias, in anticipation of that celebration. The crib has been laid out, in anticipation of the Christ-child. This can all make it feel like Christmas is already here, but it isn't. We are still in purple. The crib is empty. It is still Advent for a few hours more. 

During the Christmas season, some of us observe Advent as a time to reflect on the birth of Christ and the long ages of waiting for His arrival. I'm so thankful that Emmanuel—which means “God with us”—came to the earth and sacrificed His holy life on our behalf. But it's also true that we are still waiting for something. Hebrews 2 describes how Jesus gained the victory over death and hell. This sealed His rightful authority over all things on the earth. It says that… …At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him… namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor… This Advent, I invite you to remember the many blessings of knowing Jesus personally and look forward, with great joy, to the age that is to come—when He will return and make all wrong things right. radio.hopewithgod.com

God is in the in-between times - the times of already, but not yet.  We spend a lot of our life in those times.   Our sermon from Sunday was based on Ezra 1:1-4; 3:1-4, 10-13, which is about Israel's in-between time: in-between empires, in-between the destruction of the first temple and the building of the second temple, in-between joy and weeping.  

Dr. Jason Dykehouse, an Old Testament Scholar and Author, preached our sermon gif Gaudete Sunday.

Isaiah 40.1-11, Psalm 85.1-2, 8-13, 2 Peter 3.8-15a, Mark 1.1-8; What does manscaping have to do with Jesus? Was Isaiah a Socialist? Is Climate Change real? What's the difference between resuscitation and resurrection? These questions and more on this episode of Strangely Warmed with guests Jason Micheli and Scot Jones.Hosted by Taylor Mertins

Homily from Ascension Sunday, A.D. MMXXIII.

When you received Jesus, you received a new identity. The old is gone, yet you are still becoming who you already are, awaiting this transformation's fullness. This is a paradox that we can't fully understand. When we think things should be different than they are, we become discouraged. In this episode, I give you six tips for living in the tension of the already but not yet. If you are ready to become the woman God says you already are, you have to join me in Clarity+Courage, my cost-effective coaching group for Christian women.

Pastor Justin returns from vacation with a timely reminder of a familiar story from the life of Jesus. Immediately after Jesus fed over 5,000 people with the miracle loaves and fishes, the disciples were headed to Bethsaida (or so they thought) by boat, when a massive storm arrived - along with a ghostly figure walking on the water. Jesus used the very thing that was overwhelming the disciples to make a pathway to them. There's a lot more to unpack from this story.

What is it and does it mean to me?Sometimes we encounter terms or phrases within Christianity that aren't always explained. Already but not yet is a phrase that has practical application in our lives. Sean helps us understand this turn of phrase and tease out some implications for the individual.
