Podcasts about apostle paul

(Presented by Lisa Bishop) Are you living free? The other day I was sitting in my kitchen with some friends having a conversation about our teen-aged years and some of the stupid things we did. I didn't become a follower of Jesus until I was in my 20's so I had plenty of time to live my version of “freedom” and make choices that I would later look back on with regret. And not that you must be young to be foolish. There are plenty of unwise decisions we can make, and temptations we can fall into, even as adult followers of Jesus. We live in a world that says, “Follow your impulses.” “Do what feels good in the moment.” “Act on what is right for you.” And we call this freedom. The dictionary defines freedom as, “Being able or allowed to do, say, think, whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited.” But true freedom is not the liberty to do as you please. True freedom requires discipline. To say that there is freedom in discipline can almost sound like an oxymoron. But in his letter to the Church in Rome the Apostle Paul alludes to the impact of the lack of discipline that leads to false freedom and ultimately leads to sin. “As long as you did what you felt like doing, ignoring God, you didn't have to bother with right thinking or right living, or right anything for that matter. But do you call that a free life? What did you get out of it? Nothing you're proud of now. Where did it get you? A dead end” (Romans 6:20-21, MSG). The world says, “Do what you want, when you want,” and calls it freedom. Jesus looks at satisfying the flesh as sin and calls it bondage. In Galatians 5:1 Paul emphatically says, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” You are a slave to whatever you let master you and influence your actions, words, and behavior. When it comes to true liberation, true freedom, it will require you to omit things in your life that do not reflect your salvation. Or said in another way, discipline yourself to get rid of unprincipled choices that gratify the flesh and do not reflect the holiness of God. Where in your life is lack of discipline crippling your freedom in Christ? What thoughts or actions are ruling you rather than being guided by God and put under the authority of Jesus? It is for freedom that Christ has set you free! Confess to God and thank him that his Holy Spirit not only guides you but empowers you to live a life of true liberty through the discipline of freedom.

If it were a crime to share your faith in Christ, would there be enough evidence to convict you? The Apostle Paul was no stranger to conflict. He proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever he went, and for that reason he was beaten three times, thrown in prison three times, and stoned at least once. None of that stopped him from sharing his faith. Today, Ron takes us once again to Paul's life and ministry, as he continues his teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support

When God opens a door, He almost always opens the heart of someone on the other side. The Apostle Paul was no stranger to this truth. God opened doors for him in ministry all the time, and almost without exception, Paul walked through them and helped lead someone to faith in Christ. Coming up next, a wonderful story of faith and redemption from Ron's teaching series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support

Most Christian churches at least make a stab at imitating the churches of the New Testament, but no one really makes it. That’s not very surprising, given the change in culture and technology—especially in the western world. But Jesus did not come to bring a culture, but a way of life that will work in any culture.But no one can ever again have the special circumstances of the first-century church, the immediacy of Christ, the presence of the witnesses of Jesus after his resurrection. And, of course, no one has a man like the Apostle Paul.Those early Christians had something pretty special—they needed it. It was a dangerous and hard time. There is nothing like sharing a challenge, especially danger, to bond people together. Paul had a very special relationship with the old men of the Ephesian church where he had served for so long. There is a plaintive quality in his last speech to them. We find it in Acts 20.

Welcome to the Created To Thrive Podcast, the podcast designed to help you deepen your relationship with God, cultivate healthy mindsets and emotions, and step into your God-given potential.  **FREE Training: How To Experience God's Best For You + More Free Resources: https://loriksnyder.com/resources/   Welcome to the Created To Thrive Podcast, the podcast designed to help you deepen your relationship with God, cultivate healthy mindsets and emotions, and unlock your God-given potential.    In today's episode 104, “Unlocking the Power of the Kingdom of God in Your Life”, we will be discussing the Kingdom of God, and how you can practically experience God's will for you right now. I have found that the kingdom of God is a topic most people haven't been taught on and so don't understand very well. We want to empower you with understanding some basics today.   Out of all the things the Apostle Paul could have used to characterize the kingdom of God, he chose righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Many people would most like have put faith, authority, power, miracles, being holy, and other things in that list.  But Paul boiled it down to having a right standing with God that produces peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.  The kingdom of God isn't about keeping rules and regulations; it's about relationship with God the Father and Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.    Discovering the transformative power of the Kingdom of God can bring profound changes to your life. It's not just a spiritual concept, but a tangible reality that can unlock a multitude of blessings and opportunities. The Kingdom of God is not just a distant concept or an abstract idea; it is a reality that can be unlocked and experienced in your everyday life. It is a realm where God's reign and rule bring forth abundant blessings, peace, joy, and purpose.   Join Chris Cree of New CREEations Ministries and I as we discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in our faith journey, and how partnering with Him can transform our minds, renew our soul, and guide us in every aspect of life. My life was dramatically transformed when I started learning the truths about how God's kingdom operates and how its God's will for me to experience it here on the earth.

Being a Christian evangelist in the early years was a real adventure. By the early years, I mean, the first 100 years of Christianity. It was a dangerous and violent time in many ways, and made much more so by the religious persecution that seemed to come from all sides. And then there was the travel.We don’t think very much about travel these days. We can jump in the car and peel off 400 miles before sundown. Or we can get on an airliner in Dallas in the evening and walk off in London the next morning.When the Apostle Paul decided to go somewhere it was not like that. For him, it was a real adventure. We find a good illustration of the difficulties he faced on his journeys beginning in Acts chapter 20.

As we wrap up our brand new teaching series in Psalm 23, Pastor J.D. reminds us how the Apostle Paul never asked for his “thorn in the flesh.”

Are you ready to unravel a Biblical mystery that Paul mentions? As we venture through the book of Colossians, you'll discover the transformation from being lost to being saved and the invaluable role of Jesus Christ. We dissect Colossians, chapter 1, verse 25, and examine the divine responsibility entrusted on Apostle Paul by God to minister the Word. We'll also shed light on the true meaning of being chosen by God and the benefits of embracing Apostle Paul's teachings. The episode doesn't stop there. We delve into the intriguing roles within the church and how individuals are beckoned to serve. Every role, no matter how visible or concealed, contributes to the body of Christ. If you're unsure where you belong, we'll guide you to seek answers through prayer and encourage you to be receptive to God's calling. As we conclude, you'll be reminded that you too have an essential role within the church. So tune in, get motivated to participate and catalyze positive changes in your congregation.Support the show

Welcome to Focus Church! In this week's message, we dive deep into the powerful message of 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, where the Apostle Paul declares the victory over death through Jesus Christ. We're breaking down the three expressions of God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – and exploring the three incredible gifts He offers us, including eternal life and the Holy Spirit. Join us as we uncover the significance of the three baptisms: into the body of Christ for salvation, into water as a public profession, and into the Holy Spirit for spiritual empowerment. Discover how the three Jewish festivals – Passover, Pentecost, and the Festival of Tabernacles – hold profound spiritual meaning, from salvation and power to the second coming of Christ. Whether you're considering baptism or seeking to deepen your faith, this message will help you understand the beautiful symbolism and importance of water baptism as an act of obedience to Jesus Christ.

This episode concludes our look at 1 Thessalonians 4:15. The Apostle Paul speaks about how we shall not prevent those who are asleep (already dead) from participating in the catching out of the saints. This episode looks at why this is the case.

Today the Pugs reflect on a short essay by Patrick Deneen published in the Post-Liberal Substack, entitled, In Defense of Order. In the essay Deneen reflects on a book, originally published in 1974 by Russell Kirk, The Roots of American Order. The call to order is hardly heard today over the cacophony of voices praising, and demanding liberty. Yet according to classical thinkers, liberty without order ultimately leads to tyranny. And more and more that seems to be the case in our time. Join the Pugs today as they ruminate on the nature of ordered liberty. In Defense of Order - Part 1, by Patrick J.

Are you facing any challenges or adversities at the moment?  Are you going to let those struggles steal your joy?  Even though the Apostle Paul was under house-arrest in Rome with uncertainty hanging over his head, Paul didn't let that situation steal his joy in Jesus. When you hear Paul's words to the Philippian church, what can you learn about hanging on to joy even in hard situations? (Blueprint for Joy, part 2) 

This series is a study of the gospel of Luke. Luke was a traveling physician and companion of the Apostle Paul. Each week, as we study Luke, we seek to find the prescription that this Christian doctor would prescribe for us to become more like Jesus.

In 1 Timothy, the scriptures reveal how seriously the Apostle Paul took the task of proclaiming and protecting the gospel in the lives of 1st Century believers. He was dedicated to the orderly and counter-cultural way that the Lord was going to grow His Church. In this specific pastoral epistle, we see Paul exhort and encourage Timothy to hold dear the gospel that was entrusted to him. Today, we as believers are called to have the same fervor for gospel purity and diligent proclamation. Join us as we study through this rich epistle.  ————————  This week, Pastor Jeff will preach from 1 Timothy 1:18-20. The first message in this series is entitled "Good Warfare." The main idea of the sermon is: In the face of difficulty and confusion, we must wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. ————————  Connect with Us: Website: parkwoodonline.org Facebook: facebook.com/parkwoodonline Instagram: instagram.com/parkwoodonline.org Check out more resources and sermons online at: parkwoodresources.org

16. Philippians 3:1, 4:4 Joy in The Lord-Part 1 Pastor Phil Ballmaier Calvary Chapel Elk Grove 9-17-23 Pastor Phil normally approaches the study of The Bible verse-by-verse, but The Lord has laid it on his heart to study The Book of Philippians topically. Today Pastor Phil continues in Philippians, with Part 1 of his message, "Joy in The Lord". Pastor Phil tells us that Joy in The Lord can only come by abiding in Jesus. Clinging to Him, and fixing our hearts, minds and spirit to His and His Word. Lord help us to hold fast to Him! The Book of Philippians was written by the Apostle Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome, likely around 61 or 62 AD. It is one of the four 'prison epistles' that Paul penned while in captivity. He counted it a joy to allow God to work everything for his good—even imprisonment. This epistle teaches us the secret of having joy in a less than perfect world.

The great city of Athens was in the late afternoon of its glory when the Apostle Paul arrived there. But while the sun was setting on its golden age, Paul soon discovered an element of intellectualism still flourished in the city. Reasoning from the Scriptures, he made his case for the existence of the one, true God. Join Dr. James Boice next time, on The Bible Study Hour as he draws back the curtain on the interaction between Paul and the thinkers of Athens while making the case that their unknown god has been made known.

Katie introduces our annual Vision Offering and then shares the fourth message from our Philippians Series, speaking on Philippians 2:12-18 & Philippians 2:19-30. Katie talks about ‘not grumbling' and the importance of all of us to ‘play our part' in the church.Phillipians was written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Philippi. Paul writes from prison, most likely in Rome and his writing reveals the strong bond between Paul and this church. It's a letter of encouragement and is filled with theological richness that still speaks to the life of faith following Jesus today.

The Apostle Paul's ministry is widely recognized for its attention and call to the organization and unity of the church. Notably we see Paul wrote his Epistle to the Colossians because of a report that they were falling into serious error. Specifically in Colossians 3:15, we are reminded that we are one "Body" which we are still welcomed into thousands of years later. On this week's episode Andy, Steve and Troy take a direct look at the passage of Colossians 3:15 and what it means to be apart of the family of Christ.

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn't matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God's throne instead. You who wore my thorns that I may know Your grace...pierced by my sin that I may see Your face...loved and forgiven from shame and deep disgrace. You wore my thorns. You wore my thorns.

American Christians don't ask questions about Father Abraham. Abraham is nothing but an old man, a character in one of the old stories we don't read in the Bible. To us, Abraham has very little to do with Jesus and His sacrifice for us on the cross. Many of us came to Jesus without knowing of Abraham, and we have maintained our relationship with Jesus without any real further acquaintance with him. It's a problem that many don't see this situation as a problem. Our lack of familiarity with Abraham reveals our lack of comprehension of the fullness of the Gospel.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...https://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIX... ➡️Gab - https://gab.com/KarlGesslerSupport the show

The Christian faith is comprised of essential doctrines and non-essential doctrines. The trouble is, we don't always agree on which ones are which. Well, this is hardly a new problem. Back when the church was just getting its start, there was already some back and forth about the essential Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's when the Apostle Paul, along with Barnabas, traveled to Jerusalem in hopes of resolving these differences. Ron takes us to the council at Jerusalem next, as he continues his series, “Paul: Surprised by Grace.”   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support

Stephanie is on a mission to guide us closer to God through a unique blend of biblical flavors and French culture. In this season of Gospel Spice, she explores the theme of rest, inviting us to discover the profound joy and peace that comes from abiding in Christ. Stephanie encourages us to experience rest not merely as a physical break, but as a deep, life-altering encounter with the Living God. In this particular episode, Stephanie shares her insights and personal discoveries on the crucial topic of experiential heart knowledge of Christ. She draws inspiration from the Apostle Paul, who wholeheartedly embraced the path of surrender and sacrifice for the sake of knowing and having fellowship with Christ. Stephanie reminds us that true righteousness stems from faith in Christ, unleashing the boundless wellspring of rest that He offers. Stephanie references the pivotal passage in Romans 8:1-8. This Scripture serves as a guiding light in exploring the transformative power of rest in our lives. In the upcoming weeks, you don't want to miss the next four episodes that revolve around a weekend retreat where Stephanie was a keynote speaker. During this powerful event, she delved into the essence of rest, sharing her knowledge and experiences with eager participants. Stephanie extends a heartfelt invitation to all listeners to join her in practicing rest, as she leads us on an inspirational journey to encounter the restorative presence of our mighty God. Stephanie discusses the incredible concept of dwelling in God's presence and finding delight in His glory. She challenges us to examine why we often feel the need to fill ourselves up, reminding us that we have unlimited access to the infinite supply within us through Christ. Stephanie compassionately explores the struggle of believing that God provides only a limited supply when He promises us an abundance that knows no bounds. Stephanie encourages us to bridge the gap between what we say we believe and what we truly believe. She shares her unique perspective as a bilingual individual, highlighting the richness of the French language that possesses two distinct words for "know." This linguistic nuance inspires us to pursue a deeper, more intimate knowledge of Christ, one that goes beyond mere intellectual understanding. Rest is not a one-time event; rather, it is a continuous process of surrendering to God's will. Stephanie gently reminds us that when we find ourselves aligned with the perfect will of God, true happiness and peace fill our hearts. However, she acknowledges the challenges inherent in surrendering to God's will, even when we know it is ultimately what is best for us. Drawing from Romans 8:26-28, Stephanie emphasizes the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit in helping us pray when we are at a loss for words. She invites us to tap into the wellspring of the Holy Spirit within us. This endless source of refreshment and guidance sustains and nourishes us on our journey of rest. Let us embrace the life-giving rest found in Christ and strive to reduce the gap between what we claim to believe and what our lives genuinely reflect. Before we conclude, we want to give a special shoutout to the Gospel Spice community. Your support and engagement have been a tremendous source of encouragement for Stephanie and the entire team. If you wish to dig deeper into the themes explored in Gospel Spice or are interested in booking Stephanie as a speaker for your next event, visit our website for more information or reach out to us directly. Thank you for being a part of the Gospel Spice family. May this season of rest bring about a transformative encounter with God's presence, allowing you to experience true rest in your everyday life. GOOD TO KNOW! This is the third of 6 episodes on rest. Stephanie initially taught keynotes at several distinct events and, surprisingly, the event organizers asked her to speak on the topic of rest. They didn't know they were all asking for the same theme. Stephanie crafted unique talks for each event, and wondered how this serendipitous convergence on the theme of rest might apply to you, our beloved Podcast audience. So, here are the keynotes she gave on the topic of dwelling in the presence of God, and delighting in His glory, as the essence, goal and means of rest.  Experience the peace and presence of Jesus like never before, by walking in His footsteps on this virtual, highly personable tour of first-century Israel! Sign up today at gospelspice.com/footsteps for all the details. DATES | October 5 to November 16, 2023  LOCATION | Online!  Life is busy, and full of worry, anxiety, and stress. What if what we needed was a solid reminder of Jesus' very real presence in our lives? What if walking in His footsteps for a few weeks might prove the cure to our endless challenges, so that we may view our life as He does? It's said that a visit to Israel will forever change your experience of Scripture. That statement is right. But more than that, it will forever change your experience of Jesus. Here at Gospel Spice, our goal is to know Jesus more. It means deepening our theology, for sure, but what about discovering the little things Jesus enjoyed? Think of your best friends, or deeply loved ones. You know their favorite color, food, and scent. Not because it's life-changing, but because it is about intimacy, and knowing one another well. So, how about discovering one of Jesus' favorite childhood smells, or the Galilee skyline He woke up to every morning? It may not alter your theology, but it will help you know Him more. Do you need a full measure of His peace and comfort? Do you need to be reminded of His love for you? Do you need His guidance to navigate your life right now? Stephanie just returned from the Holy Land and invites you to walk in the footsteps of Jesus on this virtual tour of first-century Israel from the comfort of your own home. We will be journeying through Scripture together to meet Jesus where He walked, taught, and fellowshipped with His friends in Galilee. We will encounter Him on the Passion walk, from the Upper Room to Golgotha. We will meet Him in the Garden Tomb. So, pack your virtual sandals, along with a very real Bible and pen, to journey through Scripture in the footsteps of Jesus! Sign up today at gospelspice.com/footsteps for all the details.

Register for the conference: https://trinityreformedkirk.com/tentmaking/ The Apostle Paul was not only the best-educated apostle, and one of the most influential intellectuals in the history of the world, he was a tradesman. He made tents for a living. It was the perfect trade for a man on the road.  In 1 Corinthians 9 he made the case for making a living from the gospel, yet he didn't take advantage of his right to do so. He even said, “But I have made no use of (my) rights, nor am I writing these things to you to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.” (1 Cor. 9:15) Could you say that? Would you like to be able to?  Because Paul was able to support himself financially he enjoyed the sort of freedom that many pastors today can only dream of. But not all pastors. There are a few who even today enjoy the sort of freedom Paul boasted of. And they've done it while seeing their ministries actually prosper because of it. Would you like to learn how?

A MAN MAY NEVER ARRIVE AT THIS ASSURED HOPE, AND YET BE SAVED. A believer may never arrive at this assured hope, which Paul expresses, and yet be saved. I grant this most freely. I do not dispute it for a moment. I would not desire to make one contrite heart sad that God has not made sad, or to discourage one fainting child of God, or to leave the impression that men have no part or lot in Christ, except they feel assurance. A person may have saving faith in Christ, and yet never enjoy an assured hope, such as the Apostle Paul enjoyed. To believe and have a glimmering hope of acceptance is one thing- to have -joy and peace- in our believing, and abound in hope, is quite another. All God's children have faith- not all have assurance. I think this ought never to be forgotten.

In 1 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul, with all authority, does not speak on human authority, “for it is written in the law of Moses, ‘You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.' Is it for oxen that God is concerned? … but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ…woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission.” In the same manner, in the Gospel of Luke, the Lord Jesus Christ, with all authority, enters into Capernaum under orders from his Father to muzzle, dominate, and overwhelm all opponents of the gospel, exercising absolute divine authority over them, silencing the false teachers, the demons found in the village of grace, akin to Paul's opponents, the “false brethren” in Galatians and the outside authorities in 1 Corinthians who work against the Lord's gospel to increase their glory on the backs of the weak, for whom Christ died. Richard and I discuss Luke 4:31-35.

The letter the Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Rome is known as the book of Romans.

Sandy was facing some really tough choices. Her daughter needed a life-saving treatment. The girl's father was out of the picture, and she faced this moment without support. Even the doctors didn't seem overly optimistic. So this embattled mom did what moms do. She prayed. She told God she didn't have the strength to see this thing through.    No bright light appeared, and things didn't get better instantly or even the next day, but God healed her little girl.    Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”   Sandy remembered what her own parents had taught her about faith. She remembered that the Apostle Paul, who suffered beatings and imprisonment for preaching the gospel, once said, “I know whom I have believed.”    Belief, that's the key. When your strength is gone, you go to your prayer closet and you pour out your grief to God. And you remember that God's Word tells us that all things are possible through Christ.    Let's pray.    Father God, life just hurts sometimes. We feel weak and lethargic, and on our own, we'll never be enough. We praise you for being our strength, all the time. In Jesus' name, amen.

In a recent piece in The Atlantic, Tyler Austin Harper, a black professor from Bates College, argued that so-called “anti-racism” has gone too far.   In their righteous crusade against the bad color-blindness of policies such as race-neutral college admissions, these contemporary anti-racists have also jettisoned the kind of good color-blindness that holds that we are more than our race, and that we should conduct our social life according to that idealized principle. Rather than balance a critique of color-blind law and policy with a continuing embrace of interpersonal color-blindness as a social etiquette, contemporary anti-racists throw the baby out with the bathwater.   The term “anti-racist” came from a recent explosion of writing such as Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility and Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Anti-Racist, and it carries enormous ideological implications. According to Kendi, “One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist. There is no in-between safe space of ‘not racist.'”  For figures like Kendi and DiAngelo, anti-racism isn't just the commitment to combat racism wherever we happen to see it, it's the commitment to see racism everywhere, entrenched in the heart of society and present in all its aspects.  Even more, to be “anti-racist” requires the adoption of a very narrow set of policy prescriptions, all of which come from an increasingly left side of the political world.   In this world, white people must move from a position of “neutrality” to actively “centering” race in all their discourse. Only then can “whiteness” and “implicit bias” be identified, admitted, and confessed. In practice, Harper warns, this only obliterates any distinctions between “structural” racism, a term referring to racial injustices embedded in wider society, and the interpersonal interactions with people of different races.   It tends to rest on a troubling, even racist subtext: that white and Black Americans are so radically different that interracial relationships require careful management, constant eggshell-walking, and even expert guidance from professional anti-racists. Rather than producing racial harmony, this new ethos frequently has the opposite effect, making white-Black interactions stressful, unpleasant, or, perhaps most often, simply weird.  This weirdness that Harper described is the fruit of Critical Race Theory, a wrong way to diagnose and respond to racism, because it makes racial injustice “a theory of everything.” Sixty years ago, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a world in which his own children would “not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” However, “anti-racism” reverses that, presuming to know one's character, a priori, based only on the color of skin.   Another important insight from Harper's article is that our racial dialogue has been shaped by the “triumph of the therapeutic,” which social critic Philip Rieff described as the “self, improved, (as) the ultimate concern of modern culture.” In a moment in which everything is about the self, Harper believes that racial dialogue is often not about making real progress, but making ourselves feel better through confession and activism.   Throughout the biblical narrative, people are described as having a common parentage and heritage as image bearers. The Apostle Paul told the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers in Athens that God, “made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth.” Those who are in Christ, no matter which tongue or tribe or nation or language they represent, are reconciled to their Creator and thus, to each other. Only Christianity can anchor this beautiful vision of the human condition on solid ground, and it has incredible implications for individuals and nations, for people and for social structures.  Harper rightly concludes that we must see each other, first and foremost, as people, a kind of colorblindness that will prove far more effective than performative racial confessions or racialized division. That, however, is only true if there is something universal to our identity, dignity, and value. If there is, it must be an intrinsic reality of the human person, given rather than acquired.   Only one vision of the human story, the biblical account of people and creation, offers anything like that.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Kasey Leander.

When Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ, little did he know how much he would suffer for his faith. Today, Ron shares some of the events that took place during the Apostle Paul's first missionary journey.

In a grand display of irony, Saul of Tarsus came to faith in Christ on his way to persecute believers in Christ. God intervened in a miraculous way, striking Saul blind and giving him vision in the process. And what a vision it was.

Peter peels back the curtain into the heart, motive and passion behind a Cultivate leader. Before we can effectively share the gospel with others, our hearts must be impacted by the good news of Jesus Christ. We do not need to possess these qualities in fullness before we begin, but the desire to grow in love, compassion and understanding must be present if we want to lead others into a place of freedom. To illustrate this, we look at the Apostle Paul and his motive in ministry.CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CULTIVATE MANUALSupport the show

In the Apostle Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he wrote, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”What does putting away the ways of childhood and stepping into manhood look like?My guest says it requires making five key shifts in mindset and perspective. His name is Jon Tyson, and he's a pastor and the creator of the Primal Path, a rite of passage geared toward helping boys become men.

Satan will often use opposition to discourage belivers.  But opposition is just opportunity that is cleverly disguised.  We'll see today how the Apostle Paul realized that his opportunity was designed as opposition so he would become discouraged.  And we'll see how to combat that same strategy that Satan tries to use against us.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
