Podcasts about apostolic authority

I, Stewart Alsop, am thrilled to welcome Leon Coe back to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast for a second deep dive. This time, we journeyed from the Renaissance and McLuhan's media theories straight into the heart of theology, church history, and the very essence of faith, exploring how ancient wisdom and modern challenges intertwine. It was a fascinating exploration, touching on everything from apostolic succession to the nature of sin and the search for meaning in a secular age.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:43 I kick things off by asking Leon about the Renaissance, Martin Luther, and the profound impact of the printing press on religion.01:02 Leon Coe illuminates Marshall McLuhan's insights on how technologies, like print, shape our consciousness and societal structures.03:25 Leon takes us back to early Church history, discussing the Church's life and sacraments, including the Didache, well before the Bible's formal canonization.06:00 Leon explains the scriptural basis for Peter as the "rock" of the Church, the foundation for the office of the papacy.07:06 We delve into the concept of apostolic succession, where Leon describes the unbroken line of ordination from the apostles.11:57 Leon clarifies Jesus's relationship to the Law, referencing Matthew 5:17 where Jesus states he came to fulfill, not abolish, the Law.12:20 I reflect on the intricate dance of religion, culture, and technology, and the sometimes bewildering, "cosmic joke" nature of our current reality.16:46 I share my thoughts on secularism potentially acting as a new, unacknowledged religion, and how it often leaves a void in our search for purpose.19:28 Leon introduces what he calls the "most terrifying verse in the Bible," Matthew 7:21, emphasizing the importance of doing the Father's will.24:21 Leon discusses the Eucharist as the new Passover, drawing connections to Jewish tradition and Jesus's institution of this central sacrament.Key InsightsTechnology's Shaping Power: McLuhan's Enduring Relevance. Leon highlighted how Marshall McLuhan's theories are crucial for understanding history. The shift from an oral, communal society to an individualistic one via the printing press, for instance, directly fueled the Protestant Reformation by enabling personal interpretation of scripture, moving away from a unified Church authority.The Early Church's Foundation: Life Before the Canon. Leon emphasized that for roughly 300 years before the Bible was officially canonized, the Church was actively functioning. It had established practices, sacraments (like baptism and the Eucharist), and teachings, as evidenced by texts like the Didache, demonstrating a lived faith independent of a finalized scriptural canon.Peter and Apostolic Succession: The Unbroken Chain. A core point from Leon was Jesus designating Peter as the "rock" upon which He would build His Church. This, combined with the principle of apostolic succession—the laying on of hands in an unbroken line from the apostles—forms the Catholic and Orthodox claim to authoritative teaching and sacramental ministry.Fulfillment, Not Abolition: Jesus and the Law. Leon clarified that Jesus, as stated in Matthew 5:17, came not to abolish the Old Testament Law but to fulfill it. This means the Mosaic Law finds its ultimate meaning and completion in Christ, who institutes a New Covenant.Secularism's Spiritual Vacuum: A Modern Religion? I, Stewart, posited that modern secularism, while valuing empiricism, often acts like a new religion that explicitly rejects the spiritual and miraculous. Leon agreed this can lead to a sense of emptiness, as humans inherently long for purpose and connection to a creator, a void secularism struggles to fill.The Criticality of God's Will: Beyond Lip Service. Leon pointed to Matthew 7:21 ("Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven...") as a stark reminder. True faith requires more than verbal profession; it demands actively doing the will of the Father, implying that actions and heartfelt commitment are essential for salvation.The Eucharist as Central: The New Passover and Real Presence. Leon passionately explained the Eucharist as the new Passover, instituted by Christ. Referencing John 6, he stressed the Catholic belief in the Real Presence—that the bread and wine become the literal body and blood of Christ—which is essential for spiritual life and communion with God.Reconciliation and Purity: Restoring Communion. Leon explained the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) as a vital means, given through the Church's apostolic ministry, to restore communion with God after sin. He also touched upon Purgatory as a state of purification for overcoming attachments to sin, ensuring one is perfectly ordered to God before entering Heaven.Contact Information*   Leon Coe: @LeonJCoe on Twitter (X)

What is an apostle? An apostle is an official representative selected by Christ to mediate his authority on earth and herald his message to men.

In this sermon, Jim Osman expounds on the greeting of grace found in 2 Peter 1:1-2, emphasizing how even Peter's introduction is rich with theological depth. This greeting of grace reveals foundational truths about salvation, righteousness, and our identity as slaves of Christ. Osman highlights that faith is a divine gift, not human achievement, and points to the sufficiency of Christ as both God and Savior. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Right to Receive Support | 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 | Paul's Apostolic Authority & Sacrificial LeadershipIn this teaching from 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, we explore Paul's defense of a minister's right to financial support while also highlighting his selfless decision to forgo it for the sake of the gospel. Drawing from Deuteronomy 25:4, Paul shows that just as an ox must not be muzzled while treading grain, those who labor in ministry should receive provision. However, Paul chooses not to claim this right, following the example of Christ, who came not to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:45).What does the Bible say about supporting ministers?How did Jesus affirm the principle of provision? (Luke 10:7, Matthew 10:10)Why did Paul refuse financial support, and what can we learn from his example?This teaching will challenge and inspire believers to understand Kingdom generosity, the role of giving in ministry, and how sacrificial service reflects Christ's heart.Key Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:1-18, Deuteronomy 25:4, Numbers 18:21-24, Luke 10:7, Mark 10:45Join us as we dive deep into the Word, revealing Christ through Paul's teachings!Subscribe & Share to Support the MinistrySupport BulldozerFaith & Gottalife Ministrieshttps://member.bulldozerfaith.com/give

I’ve wrestled with how to approach Romans. Because it’s a long, tough book with so much packed in it. Instead of dissecting every phrase we’ll approach it how Paul’s readers would have, in community, in larger sections. Because Romans wasn’t just for theological geeks. It was for everyone. But I’m nervous. Let me tell you why. Have you ever had to have a hard conversation with someone you love that you know will sting, but they need to hear it? You don’t care about being right or winning an argument, it’s being vulnerable enough to tell someone you love the truth. It’s tempting to go soft, to make it taste better, or worse, avoid it all altogether & hope the results aren’t catastrophic. But real love will risk discomfort, say the hard things because their well-being matters more than your comfort. The best way to start is to make sure they know you really do love them. That’s what Paul does first, let's look at Romans 1:1-17.

It's impossible to set the words of Jesus in opposition to the writings of Paul. Today, R.C. Sproul reminds us that the Apostles taught by Christ's authority.

“Apostolic Authority” • 1st Corinthians 4:8-21 – Elder Bryce H. Lowrance – The Apostle Paul uses a series of Ironic statements and concessions to shock the divided parties at the Church of Corinth into repentance. He reminds them that they are believers in Christ because He first peached to them, and that they should continue following him as he follows Jesus. He ends this section with a question, “I am coming to visit with you. Would you like me to come with a chastening rod or in tender love?” This message was preached on Sunday, February 5, 2023.

In today's episode, we dive into the nature of apostolic authority as described in 2 Corinthians 10:8, examining how apostles are empowered to lead and serve with a unique blend of authority and humility. We'll discuss the responsibilities that come with this authority and how it should be used to build up the church.Our springboard for today's discussion is: 2 Corinthians 10:8: "So even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it." Paul's words highlight the purpose of apostolic authority—not to dominate but to constructively build and edify the body of Christ.Apostolic authority is a significant aspect of church leadership, providing the foundation for guidance, correction, and encouragement within the community. This episode explores the dual nature of this authority: its powerful capacity for leadership and its humble commitment to service.Walking in Apostolic Authority with Humility and Purpose:* Purpose-Driven Authority: Apostolic authority is granted by Christ not for personal gain but for the spiritual and communal growth of the church.* Humility in Leadership: True apostolic leadership mirrors Jesus' model of servant leadership, where power is exercised with humility and love.The Role of Apostles in Leading, Serving, and Equipping:* Leadership: Apostles lead by setting doctrinal truths, guiding the church through challenges, and visionary planning for the future.* Service: Their service manifests in their dedication to the needs of the church, often prioritizing the welfare of the community over personal desires.* Equipping Others: One of the primary roles of an apostle is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, empowering individuals to fulfill their own callings.Guidance on Maintaining a Balance of Leadership and Humility:* Self-Awareness: Regular self-reflection helps apostles assess their motives and methods, ensuring their actions reflect Christ's love and humility.* Accountability: Having a circle of accountability, including peers and mentors, ensures that apostolic authority is exercised wisely and with integrity.* Continual Learning: Commitment to ongoing personal and spiritual development is crucial for apostles to grow in their roles effectively.ConclusionApostolic authority, when grounded in the example of Christ, is a powerful tool for building up the church. Apostles are called to lead with conviction yet serve with humility, ensuring their authority blesses and uplifts the community.A Question of the Day: How can church leaders today apply apostolic principles of authority and humility in their own ministries?Growth Challenge: Identify areas in your leadership or service where you can better embody the principles of apostolic authority. Plan actionable steps to enhance your leadership style to be more in line with apostolic servanthood and humility.Let's Pray: Lord, grant us the wisdom and grace to handle the authority You give us with the humility and strength that reflects Your heart. Help us to use our positions to uplift, serve, and strengthen the body of Christ, never straying from the path of servant leadership You demonstrated.

Are your opinions about the church authoritative? Is your agenda based on the apostolic authority of Paul? In this study from Titus chapter 1, Pastor Bunjee Garrett encourages believers to embrace the apostolic instructions found in the epistles of Paul. The post Apostolic Authority – Titus 1:1-4 appeared first on Calvary South Austin.

An Interview with Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien Kimberly Bauser McBrien finds the Secret Book of James to be a humorous critique on the idea of apostolic authority. From our 21st-century perspective, it is difficult to decipher the difference between a weird or absurd tale from a clever parody on a serious subject. She argues that this late second century author is taking shots at his contemporaries who gave weight to apostolic credentials through false claims of unity or the experience of temporary ascending. Dr. Kimberly Bauser McBrien is a Lecturer at Trinity University, teaching various courses in New Testament and Early Christian History. Her PhD from Boston College was on social memory theory and the way it helps us understand how the sayings of Jesus were preserved and produced. This podcast is a discussion of her new article in the Journal of Early Christian Studies, titled “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Third Heaven: Reading the Secret Book of James (NHC I, 2) with a Parodic Imagination,” (Summer 2024 edition).

If you go into any school today, you will find difficulties with discipline because there is no buy-in to authority. Authority itself is seen to be wrong because we see ourselves as innately good.

Home Church helps our body seek God's best for one another. Home Church Questions 1. What did you learn from Ken's presentation of 2 Corinthians that convicts you or challenges you?2. Paul refers to troubles (afflictions) nine times in his letter. All believers experience troubles, yet God is “the God of all comfort” (1:3, you might read 1:3-11). Can you name a time when you needed comfort, and through what means God provided comfort? Conversely, is there someone you are aware that needs your comfort?3. Paul spends much of the letter defending his integrity and sincerity, both in his decision-making and his apostolic ministry. He describes his life as being led in “triumphal procession,” spreading the “aroma of Christ” to the world (2:15-17). How does this description instruct us about our walk with Christ?4. Paul knew hardship more than we will ever experience (ref. 11:23-28, 32). Amazingly, he never lost heart because of his anticipation of the future (4:16-18). What circumstances in life might cause one to lose heart? How does one embrace and maintain an eternal perspective in those circumstances?5. How would you describe what changed in your life as a “new creation in Christ” (5:17)? How is being a new creation related to being an “ambassador for Christ” (5:18-20).6. Read 9:6-15. What stands out to you personally from these verses about your financial life? How does it relate to the concept of "storing up treasures in heaven" as mentioned in Matthew 6:20?7.

"The Difference Between Passive Aggressive Christianity & Apostolic Authority"

From the Archives: First Aired in 2011, today's Classic Replay takes an in-depth look at some of the most contentious passages in the Bible when it comes to women's roles and leadership in the Church. In 1995 the Church of England allowed the ordination of Women priests, but the question of whether the Bible forbids female authority in the church remains today. Christina Rees is a writer and broadcaster and served on the Archbishop's Council and the General Synod for 25 years. For many years Christina was Chair of WATCH (Women and the Church), the group that led the campaign for women bishops and that works for women's equality in the Church. Our other guest is the Rev John Richardson, who disagrees with female ordination. John was a speaker, lecturer and a member of the former conservative Evangelical grouping Reform within the CofE. John passed away a few years after this episode in 2014. Today's guests debate passages in the New Testament that appear to forbid women speaking in Church, the role of husbands and wives and the practical realities of men and women being church leaders.

As 2022 comes to a close, Ken Fong and Ken Kemp review a powerful new podcast series produced by their mutual friend, Dr. Brad Onishi (Straight White American Jesus) called Charismatic Revival Fury. Written by Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies (ICJS), Dr. Matthew D. Taylor, the series reveals a little-known or understood movement that became a major influence in promoting the "Big Lie" (that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen) called The New Apostolic Reformation. Founded by C. Peter Wagner and Pastor John Wimber in the 1980s and 90s at Ken Fong's alma mater, Fuller Theological Seminary, the movement emerged as prophetic support for the 45th President. It crowns Donald Trump as the biblical King Cyrus, with prophecies of his return to power for a second term, in spite of the legitimate victory of Joe Biden. While the January 6 Committee, the media, and social commentators have poured over evidence that led to the January 6 Insurrection, few have called out the inescapable religious element. It was pervasive in leading up to the event and then right there in plain view: The Jericho Marches prior the assault on the Capitol; Seven Mountain Dominionism; players like Paula White and Lance Wallnau worship leader Shaun Feucht; politicians like Sarah Palin, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Michelle Bachman; Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, and Doug Mastriano; all heavily influenced by a massive under-the-radar movement that perverts Christianity into a raw pursuit of political power. And it demonizes anyone who dares challenge the assumptions  of "Apostolic Authority." Ken Fong shares some very personal related moments that shaped his life and ministry then - and to this day.Charismatic Revival Fury: The New Apostolic ReformationOn The Media - The Divided DialBecome a Patron: www patreon.com/beachedwhitemaleSupport the show
