Podcasts about Assurance

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Dr. Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith explore the complexities of the biblical narrative surrounding Moses, particularly through the lens of 2 Corinthians. They discuss the misinterpretations of Moses, the role of Pseudo-Dionysius and humanism in shaping Christian thought, and the critical distinction between law and gospel. Paulson emphasizes that Moses' ministry is one of death, contrasting it with the life-giving Spirit through the gospel. The discussion also touches on Nietzsche's critique of Christian humility and the implications of Moses' veil as a symbol of misunderstanding the law's purpose. 00:00  Introduction to the Outlaw God Podcast 01:00  Exploring 2 Corinthians and the Story of Moses 02:18  Luther's Revelation on Moses and the Law 03:59  Humanism and the Fraudulent Teachings 05:41  The Donation of Constantine and Its Impact 07:22  Pseudo-Dionysius and His Influence on Christian Thought 10:50  Paul's Perspective on Moses in 2 Corinthians 16:19  Distinguishing Law from Gospel 19:39  The Assurance of the Gospel vs. the Law 21:40  Nietzsche's Critique of Christian Morality 23:37  The Problem of False Humility in Society 25:22  Understanding the Law vs. the Gospel 27:03  Moses: The Ministry of Death 31:35  The Veil of Moses: Mysticism vs. Truth 36:30  The End of the Law and the Glory of the Spirit 40:38  Moses' Role and the Transformation through the Gospel Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Coming Home for Christmas: 1517 Advent Devotional Face to Face: A Novel of the Reformation by Amy Mantravadi Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional by Kathryn Morales Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug More from the hosts: Caleb Keith Steven Paulson

Never Lose Hope: Krishna's Teaching on Divine Transformation — Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living by Swami Mukundananda  In this episode, Swamiji narrates the inspiring story of a young man whose life was transformed in a single moment by God's grace. Once lost in despair and destructive habits, he experienced a profound inner shift when he turned to the Lord with sincerity. Swamiji uses this real-life example to emphasize Krishna's assurance in the Bhagavad Gita: no matter how far one has strayed, divine compassion can uplift and redeem instantly.  Swamiji explains that hope is not mere optimism, but a spiritual conviction rooted in Krishna's promise. He highlights how prayer, surrender, and devotion awaken the Lord's grace, enabling seekers to overcome even the darkest trials. This teaching reminds us that transformation is always possible, and that the Lord never abandons those who seek Him wholeheartedly.  Listeners are encouraged to hold on to hope, even in moments of despair, knowing that Krishna's mercy can change the course of life in an instant. This episode matters because it instills courage, faith, and resilience, guiding seekers toward liberation and spiritual growth.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.  

Welcome to Day 2749 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2749– A Confident Life – Believers, Overcomers, and Witnesses – 1 John 5:13-21 Putnam Church Message – 11/02/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “Absolute Assurance"   Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Confident Life: Believers, Overcomers, and Witnesses.” This week, we will be exploring the final message in the letter of 1 John and exploring how to have “A Confident Life: Absolute Assurance” from 1 John 5:13-21 in the NIV, found on page 1903 of your Pew Bibles. Concluding Affirmations 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. 16 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death. 18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 21 Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. Opening Prayer I read a story of two young men who grew up in the Northwest. Whenever they reach critical moments in their lives, they read letters written by their mother—letters in her familiar handwriting, sent to encourage and exhort her boys as they grow from childhood to manhood. Letters written for birthdays, for Christmas, for graduation from high school. To these boys, those letters from Mom are expressions of her endearing and enduring love. They are frameable. Why do these sons hold these letters from Mom so dear? Because their mother died of cancer years earlier, when they were very young. The disease was taking its toll on her day after day, but instead of lying there wasting away, she spent her time writing letters to her two boys to be delivered to them at specific times in their lives. And on these occasions, the boys' father would deliver the letters. They would hear from their mother, in her own words —words of endearing and enduring love. Similarly, the apostle John has left all of God's spiritual children a frameable letter—a letter of endearing and enduring love. A letter of encouragement and exhortation. A letter of warning and instruction. A letter of absolute assurance. This letter, 1 John, has been preserved for us through the...

L'assurance affinitaire, on croit la connaître. Pourtant, elle vit une transformation silencieuse qui touche au cœur de la relation client : l'usage.Dans un monde où les produits sont plus techniques, plus coûteux, plus utilisés et où seconde main, location et durabilité redessinent les pratiques, les consommateurs ne recherchent plus seulement un achat. Ils veulent une continuité. Une tranquillité. Une simplicité.Alors, comment accompagne-t-on un client au-delà de l'acte d'achat ?Pourquoi l'assurance produit devient-elle un levier de fidélisation autant qu'un service d'usage ?Et qu'est-ce qui distingue une bonne assurance d'un produit qui restera incompris ou inutile ?Pour répondre à ces questions, j'ai réuni deux acteurs qui travaillent au cœur de cette transformation :Mirelys Reyes, directrice générale d'In Confidence Insurance chez Oney,et Guillaume Trouvé, leader de Decathlon Insurance.Ensemble, nous explorons :– les mutations profondes de la consommation et des parcours d'achat,– le renversement de l'assurance affinitaire, désormais pensée du point de vue du consommateur,– l'importance de la réparabilité et de la continuité d'usage,– la transparence comme fondement de la confiance,– et les facteurs clés de succès : une connaissance fine du retail, une compréhension précise des usages, et une co-construction exigeante.Un échange dense, concret, sans langue de bois, qui montre pourquoi l'assurance produit, bien conçue, est devenue un vrai service client et un puissant moteur de fidélisation.Bonne écoute, toujours sans coupure !Hébergé par Ausha.

Segment 1 • America gives thanks… but to whom? • Christmas without Christ becomes consumer therapy, not worship. • When God is removed, holidays keep the name but lose the meaning. Segment 2 • Forcing companies to say “Merry Christmas” won't save anyone. • Secular businesses aren't the mission field — people are. • Shaming culture won't convert souls; the gospel will. Segment 3 • Marijuana has become America's coping mechanism for family holidays. • If you need to be high to survive Thanksgiving, something's broken. • God offers peace that doesn't fade, fog, or numb. Segment 4 • Anger, bitterness, fear—truth defeats what therapy slogans can't. • Memorized Scripture is emergency ammunition for the soul. • Assurance doesn't come from feeling strong — it comes from knowing Christ saves and keeps. ___ Thanks for listening!

John 6:37–40 proclaims that Jesus came down from heaven on a divine rescuemission—not merely to give an example or offer the possibility of salvation, but to actually savesinners with certainty and secure their eternal life. We all long for comfort but will we find it inhuman effort or in Christ's sovereign grace? True assurance cannot be found in our own attemptsto reform but only in Jesus' promise that he will never lose those the Father has given him and willraise them up on the last day. Therefore, the heart of Christmas is the comfort Christ brings toundeserving sinners, offering full confidence of salvation to all who trust in him.

This message explores the important connection we have between groaning and hoping. In a world marked by so much groaning, we are called to enter into it, but to do so from a place of hope. If you find yourself groaning in some area of your life, this sermon will serve you well.

We often hear that God works all things for good but what does "good" mean? 

This message wraps up our 10-week series through Romans 8.  If you are curious or even doubtful of God's love, this sermon will give you a much-needed change of perspective.

Pastor Troy's Thanksgiving message emphasizes the importance of remembering God's “benefits,” as highlighted in Psalm 103:2, warning that spiritual forgetfulness leads to ingratitude and disobedience. He explains that remembering God's works strengthens trust, fuels gratitude, and anchors believers in their faith. He outlines numerous spiritual benefits of knowing Jesus — summarized through the acrostic THANKSGIVING — including Transformation, Hope, Assurance, Nearness (to God), Knowledge, Salvation, Grace, Identity, Victory, Inheritance, New (mercies), and Glory. Pastor Troy challenges listeners to intentionally combat forgetfulness by taking God's Word seriously and recalling His ongoing faithfulness.

Share a commentEver felt the urge to make amends with God by doing more, promising harder, or waiting out your guilt? We go straight at that instinct and uncover why it can't save you—and why Scripture offers something far better: forgiveness that is carried away, covered, and never counted against you. Drawing from Romans 3–4 and David's confession in Psalm 32, we unpack three powerful words that reframe everything: forgiven, covered, and not accounted.We start with the long human history of sacrifice, from ancient rituals to the modern notion that suffering can burn off sin. Then we hold it up to the light of the gospel. The Day of Atonement wasn't theater; it was a preview. The slain goat and the scapegoat point to Jesus, the Lamb of God who bears our guilt beyond reach. The mercy seat, stained with blood above the broken law, foreshadows the cross where justice and mercy meet. And Paul's accounting term in Romans 4—imputed—shows how God not only erases the debt but credits the perfect righteousness of Christ to our ledger.The implications are deeply personal. God knows every future failure and still loves you because the cost has already been paid. You don't have to bribe heaven with effort or endure an imagined middle state to purge what Christ finished. Assurance grows where the ledger is settled and the Savior's work is final. That frees us from despair over past sins and from pride in present efforts. It also anchors everyday obedience in gratitude, not fear: we pursue holiness because we're accepted, not to get accepted.If you've wondered whether grace can hold up under the weight of real life, this message is for you. Listen to find fresh clarity on justification by faith, the end of spiritual bookkeeping, and the peace that comes when your record shows only Christ's righteousness. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help others find these truths.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

Preacher: Michael Warren

When feelings go quiet, faith keeps moving. In Part 10, Eric traces God's faithfulness through hard seasons and shows why our relationships thrive only when our goals align with Jesus—His character, His truth, His way. From the gospel's rescue (John 3:16; Peter sinking and saved) to rock-solid assurance (John 10; “God, who cannot lie”), we're called to become living letters that people can read (2 Cor. 2–3): the aroma of Christ in a fractured world. Peter then gives us the template—no reviling, blessing when wronged, suffering well, and always ready with a gentle answer (1 Pet. 2–3). With the Samaritan woman's story as a mirror, this message invites us to replace condemnation with compassionate truth so grace flows not only to us, but through us. Key Scriptures (NKJV): John 3:16–18; John 10:27–30; Titus 1:2; Matthew 14:28–31; 2 Corinthians 2:12–17; 2 Corinthians 3:1–3; 1 Peter 2:21–25; 1 Peter 3:8–17; Romans 5:6–8. Highlights: Faith vs. feelings: trusting God's presence when you can't sense it. Set relational goals that match God's goals—starting with Jesus at the center. Saved to be seen: “living letters” and the aroma of Christ in everyday life. Responding like Jesus: no reviling, blessing instead, suffering for what is right. Gospel posture with the broken (Samaritan woman): truth without condemnation. Assurance that holds—held in the Son's hand, the Father's hand, sealed by the Spirit. Next Steps: Name one relationship where you've been reactive. Pray 1 Peter 3:8–9 over it, choose one concrete act of blessing this week, and be ready to explain the hope within you when asked.

November 23rd, 2025 | Standalone | 1 Peter 1:3-7What does it really mean to be sure of your salvation? In a world where certainty is rare and often feels impossible, Pastor Ben Lofton turns to 1 Peter 1:3–7 to help believers discover where true assurance is found—and how to recognize the evidence of a transformed life.In this stand-alone message, positioned between sermon series, Pastor Ben dives deep into one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: How can I know that I'm truly saved? Whether you struggle with doubt, wrestle with false assurance, or simply want to grow in confidence before God, this passage offers clarity, hope, and solid ground.Through Peter's words to suffering, persecuted believers, we explore three essential truths:Salvation is an act of God's grace, made possible through the finished work of Jesus—not something we earn or achieve on our own.Our salvation is held and guarded by God, secured by the Holy Spirit and sustained by God's power, not our performance.Assurance is revealed through transformation, as genuine faith produces real fruit, endurance, and an ongoing work of the Spirit in our lives.Pastor Ben reminds us that the Christian life is one of long obedience, shaped over time by the power of the Holy Spirit. A transformed heart leads to a transformed life—not perfectly, but undeniably. And the evidence of that transformation becomes the foundation of our assurance.Whether you're seeking confidence in your salvation, discerning areas of needed growth, or longing to see the work of God more clearly in your life, this message will point you back to the hope, security, and transforming power of Jesus.Join us for The Evidence of Assurance, and allow Scripture to steady your heart and strengthen your faith.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Sermons from our Sunday Services at St.Peter's Free Church, Dundee

Message from Kyle Burkholder on November 23, 2025

By Pastor Tyler Braun Main Text: 2 & 3 John Play in new window The post The Fuit of Assurance appeared first on New Harvest Church.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive in Colossians 2:1-7 highlighting the way in which Paul contends for a church that stands firm in the truth, encouraged in heart and united in love. And from that foundation, he calls them to keep flourishing in a life with Christ, rooted deeply and built up daily as their thanksgiving overflows.

This message explores the biblical assurance of salvation and what it truly means to know you have eternal life. We look at key passages—from John 3 to Romans 10—that show salvation is a present reality, not a future possibility. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, this is a reminder that the promise is simple: if you believe, you are saved.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced a $750,000 settlement with American Mint LLC over its negative option subscription practices — marking the company's second major enforcement action following a 2005 Assurance of Voluntary Compliance. The case underscores how state AGs continue to use UDAP authority to address deceptive subscription practices, even without specific auto-renewal laws on the books. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, this settlement highlights the importance of clear, conspicuous disclosures, express consent, and accessible cancellation methods — and serves as a reminder that legacy agreements and practices remain enforceable decades later. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Paul L. Singer, Abigail Stempson, Beth Bolen Chun, and Andrea deLorimier.

In this episode, Nina Olding, Staff Product Manager at Weights & Biases and formerly at Google DeepMind, working on trust and compliance for AI, joins Randy to explore the UX challenges of AI‑driven features. As AI becomes increasingly woven into digital products, the traditional UX cues and trust‑signals that users rely on are changing. Nina introduces her framework of the three “A's” for AI UX: Awareness, Agency, and Assurance, and explains how product teams can build this into their AI‑enabled products without launching a massive transformation programme.Key Takeaways— As AI features proliferate, the UX challenge is less about the technology and more about how users perceive, understand and trust the interactions.— Trust is based on three foundational dimensions for AI‑enabled products: Awareness, Agency, Assurance.— Awareness: Make it clear when AI is involved (and when it isn't). Invisible AI = risk of misunderstanding. Magical AI without context = disorientation.— Agency: Give users control, or at least the option to opt‑out, define boundaries, choose defaults vs advanced settings.— Assurance: Because AI can be non‑deterministic, you must design for confidence—indicators of reliability, transparency about limitations, ability to question or override outputs.Chapters00:00 – Intro: Why AI products are failing on trust00:47 – Nina Old's journey from Google DeepMind to Weights & Biases03:20 – The UX of AI: It's not just a chat window04:08 – Introducing the Three A's framework: Awareness, Agency, Assurance08:30 – Designing for Awareness: Visibility and user signals14:40 – Agency: Giving users control and escape hatches21:30 – Assurance: Transparency, confidence indicators, and humility28:05 – Three key questions to assess AI UX30:50 – The product case for trust: Compliance, loyalty, and retention33:00 – Final thoughts: Building the trust muscleFeatured Links: Follow Nina on LinkedIn | Weights & Biases | Check out Nina's 'The hidden UX of AI' slides from Industry Conference Cleveland 2025We're taking Community Questions for The Product Experience podcast.Got a burning product question for Lily, Randy, or an upcoming guest?

Condemnation. Doubt. Guilt. Is the enemy using these emotions to keep you from God's love and power? How do you get rid of them? Chip explains how you can prepare yourself for spiritual battle and win!Introduction: The South Pacific after WWII was wonThe victory had been won, but battles continued and lives were lost; the bullets were real.The same is true spiritually:Satan was defeated at the Cross.Sin's penalty was paid for all people for all time.Sin's power was broken.Yet, Satan and his host of fallen angels engage in guerilla warfare to discourage, deceive, divide, and destroy God's people and God's program.Believers are commanded to equip and prepare themselves in the strength of the Lord and in His mighty power to stand firm against the enemy's schemes, repel his multi-faceted attacks, and engage and defeat him in specific battles.Four keys to spiritual victoryWe must become AWARE of the Invisible War.We must learn to APPROPRIATE God's protection for daily living.We must learn to ENGAGE the enemy with supernatural weapons.We must utilize God's means of deliverance when spiritually attacked.How can you prepare yourself for satanic attack?Having girded your loins with TRUTHHaving put on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESSHaving shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of PEACEApplicationKnow and understand the content of the Gospel. -1 Cor. 15:1–5; Eph. 2:1–9Know the basis for your eternal security and the assurance of your salvation.
