Podcasts about Blessed Assurance

192.ทรงสัญญาให้พรแก่ข้าฯ (Blessed Assurance) by คริสตจักรตรัง

Pastor Bobby Higginbotham preaches on 1 John 5:13-15.

One of Methodism's true values is our assurnace of our faith and hope in Heaven.

John wrote his first letter to give believers blessed assurance about their eternal life. He addressed Christians who were confused by false teachers with complicated ideas, reminding them that faith is simple. Authentic Christian living involves three essentials: believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, obeying His commands, and loving others. John emphasizes that God's commandments aren't burdensome because they all sum up to love. Eternal life isn't just about living forever after death—it's about experiencing a quality of life that finds meaning and purpose in knowing God and Jesus Christ right now. NOTE: We had technical issues with the end of the sermon. Our video back up picked up the image but we lose our microphone so we are using the native camera microphone that picked up some of the soundroom workers trying to fix the issue but you can hear the end of the message.

“Blessed Assurance” • Hebrews 6:9-12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance.  Following one of the strongest warnings in the Bible about backsliding, the Apostle offers encouragement to believers to press and gain a higher understanding of the work of Christ and assurance of their own salvation by increasing in love toward one another.   This message was preached on Sunday, July 7, 2024.

Today fess song na "Blessed Assurance" and de sekond song na "Because He Lives" so as we get Jesus and Jesus dey, no shakin for we. De message of Hope say since we get Jesus and we dey forlow an waka, we don alredi get de life wen no dey end.

Big Idea: As saints, you have everything you need. Bible teaching by Jonny Hall on the 18th January 2026.

Our hearts often condemn us because we struggle to love perfectly and doubt God's unconditional love for us. John teaches that God knows everything about us - our failures, weaknesses, and struggles - yet loves us anyway. This isn't frightening news but hopeful, as God's omniscience is connected to His mercy throughout Scripture. When we understand that God wants to make His home in our hearts rather than distance Himself from us, our hearts find rest. This rest transforms how we live: we obey out of joy rather than fear, and we pray with the confidence of children approaching a loving father. The key is remembering the cross and our baptism, knowing that our worth comes from God's unchanging love, not our performance.

“Blessed Assurance” written in 1873 by Fanny Crosby. Arrangement by Vernon Whaley and Charles Clevenger. Presented as an offering of music at First UMC - Gainesville, FL on 18 January 2026 by the Chancel Choir with Lynn Sandefur-Gardner on piano.

The Apostle John reveals three key marks of true Christianity: believing in Jesus, walking in obedience, and loving fellow believers. In 1 John 3:11-18, he exposes two dangerous lies about love that our culture promotes. First, that love comes later after we get our doctrine right, when actually love has been foundational from the beginning. Second, that love comes naturally, when true Christian love is actually supernatural and only possible through God's Spirit. Real love follows Christ's example of laying down His life for us, moving beyond words to concrete actions that serve others in practical ways.

Jesus didn't come to earth just to show love and mercy—He came on a search and destroy mission against sin and the devil's works. According to 1 John 3, real Christians don't take sin lightly because they understand it separates us from God. We can't settle for sin management, constantly asking for forgiveness while never addressing the root problem. God's plan required two moves: His incarnation as a sinless man to take our place, and our rebirth through being born again. When we receive a new nature in Christ, we react differently to sin—like a sheep that flees from mud rather than wallowing in it like a pig. This doesn't mean perfection, but it means progress in our walk with God.

The Belgic Confession (Article XXXIV) Morning Sermon

From the beginning, God created us to bear His image and share in the family resemblance. When sin entered through Adam and Eve's disobedience, we lost that image and experienced shame and separation from God. But God chose to pursue us rather than abandon us, sending Jesus to restore our capacity to bear His image. Through faith in Christ, God adopts us as His children and begins transforming us from the inside out. This isn't just about forgiveness - it's about being remade into God's likeness with ever-increasing glory. One day we will see Jesus face to face and be completely like Him, with no shame or reason to hide.

Jesus came into this world so that you may have a full life, an abundant one. You are not who life labeled you. Jesus didn't just save people—He restored your identity, awakened the potential within you. You're meant for great things! Jesus' mission to show us his love helps us to realign our hearts back to him. No need to rehearse what broke you, Jesus has blessed you with an assurance—You were BORN TO BE.

In 1 John 5, we're reminded of a better hope. Our faith in Jesus doesn't remove us from the world, but it overcomes it. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus offers a victory that reaches into our everyday lives and even beyond the grave. Whether you're carrying the weight of responsibility, fear, suffering, or uncertainty, this message points us back to the truth. Faith isn't just something we hold. It's Someone we trust. Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess. Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together. We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus. Come as you are. Experience His love.

In 1996 everything changed. With the introduction of antiretroviral medications called the “AIDS cocktail,” people started getting better – some dramatically – and surviving AIDS became a real possibility. In the wake of these changes, MCC found itself taking stock of what they lost to AIDS and using what they learned to address larger social issues– from medical marijuana to homelessness. Sometimes these political stances felt heroic and a way to use that collective energy, and other times it made the church very unpopular with the changing Castro neighborhood.    “Freedom is Coming”  is by Anders Nyberg.  “All Things New” is by Rory Cooney. “Blessed Assurance” is by Franny Crosby. “Gloria (Angels We Have Heard on High” is a traditional Christmas hymn.  “The Potter's House” is by V.

In these uncertain times, believers have been given a powerful gift - the anointing of the Holy Spirit. John warns that we're living in the last days, where many antichrists seek to diminish Jesus rather than deny Him outright. These false teachers don't reject Jesus entirely but reduce Him to merely a good teacher rather than the unique Son of God. However, every believer has received the Holy Spirit's anointing, which always points us to Jesus and reminds us of His truth. To remain faithful, we must hold onto three essentials: the apostolic teachings about Jesus, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and active participation in the body of Christ.

Living as a Christian requires choosing between loving God and loving the world system that opposes Him. The world, under Satan's influence since the Fall, operates with values and philosophies contrary to God's truth. We cannot serve both masters - loving the world squeezes out love for the Father. Christians have been rescued from darkness into light through Christ's victory on the cross. Understanding that this world is temporary while God's kingdom is eternal helps us maintain proper perspective. Spiritual maturity involves growing beyond spiritual childhood and working together as a church family across all generations. We're called to be in the world as light and salt while rejecting its values.

Authentic faith in Jesus is marked by three key characteristics: obedience to His commands, living like Jesus, and loving others. True obedience flows from love rather than obligation, showing evidence of genuine faith rather than earning salvation. Living like Jesus isn't about perfect imitation but about abiding in Him and allowing Christ to transform us from within. The command to love others is both ancient and revolutionary, as Jesus redefined love by His own example of sacrificial care for all people. These marks aren't about achieving perfection but about staying connected to Jesus and allowing Him to produce authentic spiritual fruit in our lives.

Sermon Notes:· Philippians 1:3 - 3 I thank my God every time I remember you.· 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.· Joy means having a deep sense of well-being knowing that God is at work in us and for us.· Philippians 4:4 – Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again, rejoice!· 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.· You are not done following Jesus until you see Jesus face to face.· 9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,· What the world needs now, is love, sweet love…· 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God· “What is wise?”· Heaven is for people who can stand it. – Dallas Willard· I think when I die, it may take me a few minutes to realize I am dead. – Dallas Willard· Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; oh what a foretaste of glory divine.· But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.· To the glory and praise of God.· God, here I am. Use me.· To glorify God is to live your life in such a way that people look at you and say, “What a good God there must be to use a person like that.” - John OrtbergLife Group Discussion QuestionsStarter: What makes you thankful for our church?Dig Deeper1. Read Philippians 1:3-6a. Why do you think God wanted the followers of Jesus to be partners in his work instead of doing everything himself?b. In verse 6, Paul speaks about his confidence. In your opinion, why does he have confidence?c. What good work needs to be completed in your life? What good work needs to be completed in our church?2. Read Philippians 1:9-11a. What would a church with overflowing love look like?b. Describe a time when you heard someone's story and it helped you love them better?c. What steps do you need to take to get ready for heaven?d. Paul again refers to “the fruit of righteousness.” This is a call back to the fruit of the Spirit he mentions in Galatians: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. What fruit seems to be blooming in your life right now? Why?

We explore the profound concept of 'Blessed Assurance' through the lens of Romans 5:1-11. The central theme revolves around our certainty of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. We're reminded that as believers, we have peace with God, not just the peace of God. This peace isn't based on our circumstances, but on Christ's finished work on the cross. The message beautifully illustrates how even our afflictions can be a source of joy, as they produce endurance, character, and hope. We're encouraged to see trials as God's pruning process, shaping us to bear more fruit. The analogy of gold being refined in fire vividly portrays how God uses our struggles to purify our faith. As we reflect on these truths, we're challenged to anchor our assurance not in our feelings or experiences, but in the unchanging love of God, demonstrated supremely at the cross. This message invites us to live with confidence, knowing that our salvation is secure in Christ, empowering us to face life's challenges with unwavering faith.

Ephesians 1:3-14 Pastor Scott Skones

Francis was just 6 weeks old when she became ill in the spring of 1820. The family doctor was out of town, and a charlatan pretending to be a doctor prescribed a treatment that rendered the baby completely blind, although she recovered from the initial illness. A few months later, her father died, and her mother went to work as a maid to support the family. She was raised by her grandmother, a devoted Christian who taught her granddaughter from the Bible.At the age of 8, the little girl wrote this poem,“Oh, what a happy soul I am,Although I cannot see!I am resolved that in this worldContented I will be.”The little girl was encouraged to work to the best of her abilities, and not to view herself as limited by blindness. She carried that resourceful attitude throughout her 94 years of living, and during her lifetime penned over 9,000 hymns.You may not have heard of Fanny Crosby, but if you've ever sung or listened to favorite hymns in church, chances are you've heard her music.She poured out her heart writing hymns, many of which are still sung today, nearly 200 years after her birth. Songs such as “Blessed Assurance” and “To God be the Glory” are treasured classics in many denominations.This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.Fanny Crosby was struck blind as an infant, but she allowed the Lord to shape her story, and used her talents to praise Him, and inspire others to do the same.Let's pray.Lord, the story of Fanny Crosby is an encouraging reminder to rely on you, no matter our circumstances. You had a plan for her life from the very beginning, and the songs you wrote on her heart continue to inspire us today as we worship Your Holy Name. Thank you for writing Fanny's story so beautifully. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Sin creates division between us and God, but the gospel restores fellowship through Jesus Christ. God is light without darkness, and we cannot claim fellowship with Him while living in spiritual darkness. Walking in the light means agreeing with God's definition of sin and confessing when His light exposes darkness in our lives. Confession brings healing and restoration, allowing us to experience true fellowship with God and others. The mark of a Christian isn't sinlessness but a willingness to bring sin into the light through regular confession.

By Dave Wallauch - The inspiration for this message comes from the trials in the life of Horatio Spafford who wrote the song and hymn, "It Is Well with My Soul." His inspiration to write came while he sailed near the exact location of the shipwreck where the two ships collided in the Atlantic Ocean which resulted in
