Podcasts about Assurance

The parables of Jesus are some of the most enjoyable and interesting parts of the New Testament, and they have a lot to teach us about the kingdom and God's plan of redemption.

The Tenpenny Files – Many parents assume salvation is settled once a child prays a prayer, yet years later faith quietly fades. This conversation challenges common assumptions about assurance, exposing the difference between religious language and genuine fellowship with God, the dangers of misplaced certainty, and the biblical warnings most believers were never taught to examine closely...

Assurance of salvation, trust vs. belief, demonic possessions and more on today's Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

Liturgy Sermon @ St. John Kame Coptic Orthodox Church - Birmingham, AL ~ January 24, 2026

Romans 10:9-10 — Can a person be assured that they are saved or is salvation something that only God can know? In his sermon on Romans 10:9–10 titled “Assurance of Salvation,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers these questions by bringing the listener to Scripture. In the Bible, the answer is much more gracious and loving than the answers given commonly by people. Salvation is a work of God, not of humans, and how wonderful this truth is. If salvation was dependent on works, no one should have assurance of salvation. Think about how often people fail on the simplest of tasks and how often they let down those who love them most. Yet saving faith is given by God and because this is the case, they can rest in the assurance that God is the author of their salvation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones will show in this sermon on the assurance of salvation that it is the object of the Christian's faith that gives assurance and it is God's desire for every Christian to be assured of their salvation. Thank God He does not leave His children in the dark but has given a way to be bold in their salvation. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111

In this episode, Robin Merttens is joined by Tobi Schneider, Sector Engagement Lead for Financial Services & FinTech at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, to unpack one of the most ambitious research initiatives currently shaping the future of AI risk in insurance. Backed by UKRI and developed in collaboration with AXA Group and three leading universities, the project aims to build a foundational blueprint for how insurers can understand, audit and underwrite emerging AI risks.  Tobi shares why the shift from traditional to generative and agentic AI has outpaced current risk frameworks, leaving insurers exposed to risks that are poorly defined, difficult to monitor and impossible to price using historic loss data. He explains how his team is exploring dynamic underwriting models, parametric solutions and novel assurance techniques like LLM-based judges and automated red teaming, all with the goal of enabling safer, more accountable AI adoption.  Ahead of the Agentic AI Half Day event, hosted in collaboration with AI Risk, Tobi Schneider and Lukasz Szpruch wrote an article The New Frontier: Managing and insuring generative and agentic AI risks, further exploring this topic.   In this conversation, Tobi shares:  Why AI systems that function “correctly” can still produce harmful or costly outcomes  How traditional insurance models fail in the face of opacity, model drift and dynamic learning  What makes AI risk so difficult to price and how parametric triggers can help bridge the gap  Why better assurance leads to better insurance, and how incentives can drive safer AI deployment  How continuous monitoring tools are being developed to audit AI models in real time  What today's early AI insurance offerings (from the likes of Munich Re and Relm) are actually covering  The role of non-profit research in supporting commercial innovation without commercial bias  What insurers can do now to prepare for an AI-driven future even without historical data  If you like what you're hearing, please leave us a review on whichever platform you use or contact Robin Merttens on LinkedIn.  Sign up to the InsTech newsletter for a fresh view on the world every Wednesday morning.

With earthly contracts, there are two or more parties involved, and sometimes there's a cancellation clause. This clause lets one party back out of the deal if certain conditions are not met.Daniel from Louisiana called in to our radio program to ask if the New Covenant has a cancellation clause. Is there any way that we can willfully back out, break the covenant, and thereby lose our salvation?In this short clip, I address this important question.

Blessed Are — Part 1: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Description: In Part 1 of Blessed Are, Pastor Eric opens the Beatitudes by slowing down on one of Jesus' most counterintuitive promises: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). This message clarifies that mourning isn't only about grief after loss—though Jesus absolutely meets us there. It is also, and most importantly, about mourning over sin: seeing our fallenness clearly, becoming broken before God, and running to the only Savior who can forgive, cleanse, and comfort. From James 4, John 6, John 10, Psalm 42, and Lamentations, Eric shows that the path to comfort is not denial, self-justification, or religious performance. Comfort comes through surrender—submitting to God, resisting the devil, drawing near to the Lord, and letting repentance become honest sorrow rather than shallow regret. Eric also addresses why sin is tempting “for a season,” why it always damages the soul, and why God's heart toward the repentant is not condemnation but restoration. The message then widens to the other “layers” of mourning: death, broken relationships, dashed dreams, wounds no one sees, and the long ache of grief that can feel like waves and billows rolling over the soul. In those places, believers are called to expect Jesus in their grief—to lament, to hope, to wait quietly, and to receive God's lovingkindness that holds steady in the dark. Finally, Eric calls the church to live as Christ's body: God comforts by His Spirit, and He comforts through His people. We are meant to carry comfort to one another—praying, showing up, and becoming tangible reminders that mourners are not alone. Key Scriptures (NKJV): Matthew 5:4; James 4:7–10; Hebrews 11:24–27; John 6:35–40; Matthew 11:28–30; John 10:27–30; Psalm 42:1–7; Lamentations 3:22–26; 2 Corinthians 1:3–4; Romans 10:13. Highlights: “Blessed are those who mourn” has layers, but it begins with mourning over sin. Repentance isn't humiliation—it's the doorway to comfort, cleansing, and freedom. Sin is pleasurable “for a season,” but it always wounds the soul and harms others. God does not discipline to demean; He draws sinners in to restore them. Jesus' comfort is not an empty offer—He keeps His promises: “I will by no means cast out.” Salvation is receiving a gift, not earning a reward—religion says “perform,” Christ says “receive.” Assurance for believers: Jesus holds His sheep, and no one can pluck them from His hand. Grief is real and biblical: Psalm 42 gives language for sorrow, tears, questions, and hope. Lament is not unbelief—it is faith speaking honestly in pain. God's mercies are new every morning; the call is to get up again and hope in Him. The church is called to comfort one another with the comfort we've received from God. Next Steps: Ask God to show you which kind of mourning you need right now—and respond with one concrete act of faith. If you're mourning over sin: confess it plainly, turn from it, and come to Jesus for cleansing. If you're mourning loss: lament honestly, bring your questions to God, and ask Him to meet you in the waves. If you're stuck in cycles: thank God you got up again, then take one next step toward freedom. If someone near you is mourning: obey the nudge—pray, reach out, and offer comfort in Jesus' name.

Listen to the article with analysis from the author:  In an effort to quell concerns that US bombs would soon be falling on Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum said she received assurance from Washington that there would be no military flights over Mexico. On Monday, Sheinbaum explained she had received “written” assurance from the US that no military flights would take place over Mexico. She added that Washington pledged to inform Mexico City of any military operations before they take place. Sheinbaum's remarks followed warnings from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to civilian aircraft to watch for military flights over Mexico and parts of Central and South America. The FAA issued a similar advisory before the US attacked Venezuela and kidnapped President Nicolas Maduro. President Donald Trump has pressed Sheinbaul to allow the US to conduct military operations against cartels in Mexico. She has repeatedly refused to permit any foreign ministry actions inside Mexico. Multiple outlets have reported that the US is preparing to conduct military operations inside of Mexico, including strikes on suspected drug labs and raids targeting cartels. Under Trump, the US has designated several Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The White House justified its strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean by arguing the vessels were operated by cartels designated as a narco-terrorist group. First Published at Antiwar.com

Not just one day, but today. We are seated with Him in a place of protection, help, and assurance. He is with us always, even right now, and with Him comes omnipotence and glory. We are saved, secured, and safe.It is only from this seat that we can truly walk. And I don't mean just get up and start walking. I mean that what is true spiritually remains true: you are seated with Christ, even as you walk. The walk reflects the relationship. It is not an effort to validate what Christ did or to pay Him back. It is not a debt owed. It is a life of hope in Him.The devil will attack. He will try to ruin our confidence. But he is a loser. He has lost. We are on Mount Zion; he is in the valley of despair. We have the high ground in Jesus Christ, and the power of Christ to hold that ground.Sequence is crucial. You cannot stand if you are not seated, nor walk. Begin with Christ, pray about what is true, find joy in who you are in Him and who He is for you. And walk with life and stand with strength—His strength. 

Phil Hudson - What is the bedrock for single-minded faith in Jesus as we meet various trials? Assurance of the single-minded goodness of God.

The gospel is called the Good News (or happy news in Aramaic) because it promises something the world can never give you: eternal security in the finished work of Christ and a guaranteed future of reward of resurrection on the horizon.

In this episode of The Weekly, host Jay Ewing sits down with Perry Marshall to explore John 10 and the themes of belief and assurance. As Jesus walks through Solomon's Colonnade during the Feast of Dedication, He makes bold claims about His identity—claims that challenge the religious leaders and force a response from everyone listening. Together, they discuss what it means for Jesus to say, “I and the Father are one,” why people often admire Jesus' works while resisting His claims, and how believers can find deep assurance in being held securely in the hands of the Son and the Father. This conversation invites listeners—whether confident in their faith or still searching—to listen for the Shepherd's voice and consider what it truly means to believe.

What do you do when life feels unfair and you're carrying consequences you didn't create? In this episode, I walk through the powerful story of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4 and share what God showed me about provision, obedience, and justice when faithful people find themselves in impossible circumstances. This message is for you if you've been obedient, yet you're still dealing with lingering debt, emotional carryover from past seasons, or situations that feel deeply unfair. I talk about why God often asks the question, “What do you have in your house?” and how that question is an invitation to partner with Him, even when what you have feels small. We'll look at how obedience unlocks supernatural provision and how God honors faithfulness, even when the cost feels heavy. I also share how we can stand confidently on the righteousness of Jesus Christ and put a demand on God's promises when we need breakthrough, direction, or justice. In this episode, I cover: Why obedience is often the doorway to God's provisionHow to respond when you're affected by circumstances you didn't causeWhat the widow's oil teaches us about partnership with GodHow to trust God when you don't have clear answers yetWhy God's provision often overflows beyond the immediate need

What if encountering God is not about trying harder, but becoming more aware? In Week 2 of our sermon series There Is More, Pastor Dustin teaches on The Four Postures of Encounter—a pathway that helps us move from distraction into real, life-changing intimacy with God. God is not distant. He is near. But many of us miss His presence because we are distracted, rushed, or carrying shame. This message walks us through four spiritual postures that position our hearts to experience God more deeply. 4 Postures of Encounter 1. Awareness – God is Near Encounter begins with awareness, not effort. Like Moses at the burning bush, God is already present. The invitation is to turn aside and notice Him. Isaiah 41:10 Exodus 3:1–5 2. Reverence – God is Holy When we see God rightly, we see ourselves honestly. Isaiah's encounter with God shows us that holiness leads to humility, repentance, and calling. Isaiah 6:1–8 3. Assurance – God is Love and Mercy Shame blocks encounter. Assurance opens it. God does not tolerate you. He delights in you. His mercy is not permission to stay the same; it is power to change. Psalm 103:8–13 Romans 5:8 4. Surrender – God is Powerful God fills surrendered vessels. When we fully yield to the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Jesus begins to work in us. Romans 8:11 Acts 1:8 Prayer of Encounter God, You are here with us right now. We turn our attention to You and choose to be present with You. Holy God, search us and know us. Cleanse what is out of alignment and draw our hearts back to You. We choose humility and honesty before You. Father, we receive Your forgiveness and Your mercy. We release shame and rest in Your delight over us. Thank You that we are fully known and fully loved. Holy Spirit, we surrender our lives to You. Fill us, lead us, and use us for Your purposes. We trust Your power more than our own strength.

Share a commentIf assurance feels out of reach, this conversation invites you into a steadier place. We open with Queen Victoria's honest question—can anyone know they are going to heaven?—and follow the thread through Romans 5:9–11, where Paul ties our confidence to three gifts: safety from wrath, certainty through Christ's living intercession, and the deep enjoyment of God that flows from reconciliation. The point isn't motivational uplift; it's theological bedrock that supports real life.We walk the text slowly. Justification by Christ's blood means the verdict has already been rendered, and that promise reaches into the future with a firm “we shall be saved.” Then we unpack Paul's greater-to-lesser logic: if God reconciled us when we were enemies by Christ's death, much more will he save us by Christ's life. Hebrews 7 sharpens the edge—Jesus saves forever because he lives forever. That turns assurance from a self-managed feeling into a Savior-anchored certainty. Along the way we clarify the difference between the consequences of sin we may experience now and the ultimate wrath believers are spared, keeping the conversation both honest and hopeful.Finally, we turn from safety and certainty to enjoyment. Reconciliation doesn't end with relief; it blossoms into praise. We talk about what it means to exalt in God with clear heads and full hearts, and why joy is not optional flair but the aim of being made right with him. A lighthearted Einstein story ties it together: it's not enough to be recognized—you need to know where you're going. By the end, you'll have a clearer grasp of who holds your future and why that changes how you worship today.

Downtown Campus Pastor, Leon Brooks III, explores Jude 24-25, which reveals that Jesus has the power to keep believers from stumbling in their faith and present them blameless before God. While some people fall away from Christianity, those who remain faithful can attribute their perseverance to Christ's keeping power. The key to avoiding spiritual stumbling lies in understanding that we stand before God not through our own righteousness, but through the finished work of Christ on the cross. Jesus endured the shame of crucifixion for the joy of our salvation, demonstrating His deep love for us. This creates a mutual love relationship that grows stronger over time when we surrender to Jesus as both Savior and Lord.

Despite our wanderings, failures, and rebellions against God, Christ holds us in His hand, never letting go of those who are His.

Many people think the role of a Christian is simply to go to church, read their Bibles, and pray—checking off the boxes on their list as they do. But God has called us to so much more. If Christians were to fully embrace their God-given role, the world would sit up and take notice because it would be countercultural, revolutionary, and God-glorifying.(00:00) The Christian’s role in society and culture(05:45) Obeying God rather than man (Acts 5)(10:35) The unstoppable proclamation of the gospel(15:00) Christ’s lordship, authority, and honor(19:00) Assurance of salvation and closing exhortationCONNECT WITH PASTOR JACK Get Updates via Text:  https://text.whisp.io/jack-hibbs-podcastWebsite: https://jackhibbs.com/ Instagram: http://bit.ly/2FCyXpO Facebook: https://bit.ly/2WZBWV0 YouTube:  https://bit.ly/437xMHn DAZE OF DECEPTION BOOK:https://jackhibbs.com/daze-of-deception/ Did you know we have a Real Life Network?
