Podcasts about being faithful

This Sunday is Mission Sunday and Pastor Matt gives a message titled “Being Faithful in the Small.” Through powerful stories from Kenya and local outreach, he reminds us that God uses simple acts of obedience and love to transform lives—and calls us to open our eyes to see people the way Jesus does.

This week, we're diving deep into what it means to stay faithful when life feels like it's on pause. In Acts 23–28, we follow Paul's journey through imprisonment, shipwreck, and delay—only to see God move in unexpected and powerful ways. If you're in a season where you feel stuck, forgotten, or like nothing is happening, this one is for you. We're talking about what it looks like to trust God's timing, keep showing up in the waiting, and believe that even the hidden seasons are holy. Plus, you'll hear about epidurals, hospital delays, and what the Bible has to do with reality TV. (Yes, really.)Let's lean in and remember that God is just as present in our waiting as He is in our breakthrough.

Send us a textWelcome:Welcome to today's episode! Today we're looking at Joshua's final address to the leaders of Israel—a farewell that not only recounts God's past victories but also issues a call for unwavering faithfulness. As Joshua prepares to step into the background, his words challenge us to remain both faithful in our devotion to God and fearful of the dangers of straying from His commands.Episode NotesJoshua's Farewell Address:At the close of his military and leadership career, Joshua gathers the elders, judges, and officials of Israel to remind them of all that God has accomplished on their behalf.His message is a blend of gratitude, exhortation, and warning as he reflects on God's faithfulness in giving Israel the land and defeating their enemies.Key Themes:God's Faithfulness:Joshua recounts how God fought for Israel, delivering victory and fulfilling every promise made to the patriarchs.This historical fulfillment is a call to trust that the same faithful God will continue to work on our behalf.Call to Obedience:Joshua instructs the leaders to diligently obey God's Law—walking in His ways, keeping His commands, and holding fast to Him.He warns against even the subtle drift toward idolatry or unholy alliances, which can undermine the blessings they've received.Being Faithful and Fearful:The dual call is clear: as recipients of God's unwavering grace, we must be equally committed in our obedience (faithful) and mindful of the consequences of turning away (fearful).Joshua reminds them that while God's blessings are sure, deviation from His commands brings severe, corrective discipline.Practical Applications:Personal Commitment: Reflect on your own life—how can you remain steadfast in your relationship with God, even when challenges arise?Guard Against Compromise: Stay alert to the subtle influences that can lead you away from God's commands.Embrace God's Discipline: Understand that loving discipline is a sign of God's fatherly care; it is meant to guide you back to the path of righteousness.Unified Community: Whether in your church or family, let this message encourage you to hold fast to a shared commitment to honor God, reinforcing both individual and collective faithfulness.Enjoy the episode and be inspired to live with wholehearted devotion to the Lord!Support the showFor an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

1. Being Taken2. Being Alert3. Being Faithful

1. Being Taken2. Being Alert3. Being Faithful

This week, we concluded our journey through the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on the final verses of Matthew 7, where Jesus makes a distinction between those who listen to His teachings and those who merely hear them. The key question was: Are you listening, or are you just hearing? “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.” Matthew 7:24-29 NLT Key Points: 1. Listening vs. Hearing (Matthew 7:24-27): Jesus contrasts two kinds of people—those who listen to His teaching and follow it, and those who simply hear it without acting. Listening implies understanding, obeying, and applying what is heard, while hearing alone is superficial, like background noise. A wise person builds their life on the solid foundation of Christ's teachings, while those who only hear but do not apply are like a house built on sand, vulnerable to collapse during life's storms. 2. Love as the Foundation: Throughout scripture, Jesus emphasizes that love is the foundation of true discipleship. In John 13:34-35, we are commanded to love one another, and in Romans 13:8-10, Paul explains that loving our neighbour fulfils the requirements of God's law. When we truly listen to Jesus' message, it becomes clear that love is the central call of the Christian life. - Faith Expressed Through Love: Galatians 5:5-6 reminds us that what matters most is faith expressed through love. This love must come from a pure heart, clear conscience, and genuine faith (1 Timothy 1:5). 3. Being Faithful and Fruitful: Bill challenged us to ask ourselves: Are we faithful (full of faith) and fruitful (producing the fruits of the Spirit)? John 15:8 says that true disciples produce much fruit, bringing glory to God. Fruitfulness is the evidence of God's work in our lives, and this fruit—like love, joy, and peace—often ripens as we act in obedience to His word. 4. Desiring Spiritual Gifts: The ultimate goal of the gifts of the Spirit is to help us grow in love and display that love to others. Bill encouraged us to earnestly desire the most helpful gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31) as tools to manifest God's grace and love in our lives. These gifts—whether administration, prophecy, healing, or encouragement—are given to build up the body of Christ and express love in practical ways. 5. Active Listening Leads to Transformation: In Greek, the word for "to listen" implies heeding, obeying, and understanding. We are called to actively listen to God's word, allowing it to transform us. This means taking in His teachings, applying them, and living with love, compassion, and selflessness. If we simply hear without acting, we miss out on the deeper work God desires to do in us. Conclusion: The Sermon on the Mount centers on love, compassion, and selflessness—core elements of Jesus' teachings. We must not merely hear the word but truly listen and live it out. As we do, the gifts of the Spirit will manifest in our lives, and we will become fruitful, glorifying God. Remember, some fruit only ripens once it's picked—so step out in faith, seek God's gifts, and live out His love in the world.

We made it!!! 100 Episodes!  Our episode today is about Being Faithful in the Little. My faith teaches me that when I am faithful in the little, God will make me ruler over much. We all have goals. Goals are the big thing, as I am faithful in the little things or steps to get to the big things. We have to develop discipline to take care of what we need to do to qualify for more. Discipline opens the door for obedience. Obedience unlocks the blessings that are available for you. We make decisions everyday to go to or away from our goals. People get so caught up in the speed of life that they don't take the time to evaluate their own steps to faithfulness. Listen in with a heart to hear and a desire to have more. Thanks for listening.

When we disobey God, it opens a door for the Devil to work in our life. But what do we do? We're prone to sin! Here's what's comforting though... It's true we find it difficult to walk in 100% obedience to God. However, when we still choose to do so, come the time we sin, if we repent, God will forgive us. Find out more on how you can live the successful dream God has given you in week 3 "Being Faithful" from our series iDream by Dr Danny Simon.

Being Faithful to God is different from the world, but it's what God honors here on earth.

Being Faithful to God is different from the world, but it's what God honors here on earth.

The end of one year and the start of a new year are important times in our lives. We often put lots of thought, effort, energy, and attention into the start of a year with hopes of making this new year better than the last one. In this message from Pastor Ricky Ortiz, he shares 3 areas of focus that will help strengthen our faith year round. 

Throughout the Old Testament, God goes on the record to make some big and bold declarations about the coming of a Messiah. He made some audacious promises that were to fulfilled through the birth of Jesus Christ. And when Jesus was born, it proved God's faithfulness can be trusted with the biggest areas of our lives.Just as He was faithful in the Christmas story, we can be sure that God will be faithful with our most important desires, dreams, and longings.

Have you ever noticed how faithful God was in the Christmas story? In every single detail and in every single moment, God knew exactly what was needed and to what end. He didn't miss a single beat and not one little thing was lost on Him.The beauty is that His faithfulness in the little things some 2,000 years ago is what we can count on today. Just as He was faithful then, He is faithful now.

Tired of Being Faithful x SanyuTLKs by LetsTLK

Just Be... "Being Faithful" 1 Corinthians 4: 14-21 The word faithful is well understood as being loyal and steadfast. Yet this week I want us to focus on the part of it meaning devoted. In our scripture reading for this Sunday Paul is writing a warning but encourages the apostles to imitate him and to help he sends Timothy whom he loves and knows is faithful. He is sent to remind them of the way of his life in Christ Jesus. What I want us all to see is that Paul made the point that is what he taught everywhere and in every church. How are we faithful to Christ? Do we live it out or is it just words? Are we devoted to building the kingdom or are we in our arrogance coming to see what we can get out of God.

So was he seven years in building it.

The Challenge of Being Faithful to God Sermon Series: Courageous Living in a Dangerous WorldIntroduction: Life is filled with choices. We choose what movies we will watch, we choose our cell phone provider, and we choose what we will eat. We choose our attitude, our friends, and how we will invest our money and time. Choices are a necessary part of life. As we close the book of Joshua we will discover that the best decisions are the ones we make biblically, consciously and deliberately.
