Podcasts about Body of Christ

Passage(s): Ephesians 4:1-14 We all have different gifts and abilities from God and we are called to live in unity in the church. We must take steps to grow in godliness and use our talents to build up the body. 

At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

This week, Pastor Tony talks about how important women are in The Body Of Christ while encouraging and empowering the women of SomaChurch to step in to their calling.

[1 Cor 13:1-7] "Love is patient" is not merely a wedding verse—it is a command for how Christians treat one another in the local church. The same God who is “slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love” (Exodus 34:6) calls His people to reflect that same patience actively among the saints, even when it's difficult.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Belonging and Being the Body of Christ” from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.  The human body is a work of Creative Genius.  Its connectivity and interdependence has the best doctors and researchers regularly amazed.  God has so designed the church to be a body in its own way with each person being interdependent with others to live the Christian life. 

By Daniel Apartian - This is the second part of a message building on the analogy of us being diverse and unique parts of the one body of Christ with the key goal of unity. To have unity with others we have to become unified with God first and yield to his Holy Spirit. God needs all parts of the body to be under the

In this week's message at The Mountain Church, Samuel Goulet walks us through what the Bible says about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and why they matter for our church family. He reminds us that gifts are a grace from God—not something we earn—and they're given “for the common good,” to build others up, not to elevate ourselves. From wisdom and faith to healing, prophecy, discernment, and tongues, Samuel encourages us to stay rooted in Scripture, let love guide every gift, and keep our identity grounded in Jesus. The invitation is simple: let's step off the sidelines, use what God has given us, and grow into a healthy, united church that strengthens one another and brings Jesus to our city.

Today is day 94 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the fourteenth line: “The Holy Catholic Church”. 94. Why is the Church called the Body of Christ? The Church is called the Body of Christ because all who belong to the Church are united to Christ as their Head and source of life, and are united to one another in Christ for mutual love and service to him. (Romans 12:4–5; 1 Corinthians 12:12–27; Ephesians 1:22–23; 5:25–30) We will conclude today by praying the Offertory Sentence in the Eucharist Liturgy found on page 131 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

By Tim Martens - Besides the fact that we should take care of our bodies, as Christians we are also called to care for the body of Christ, and one of the ways that we do that it to come together in assembly at the feasts and provide an offering to God in support of the health of the church, not just the preaching of

God designed His Church to live in community with one another as one Body. When one part is hurting then the whole Body needs to hurt and weep with that part, and when another part is rejoicing then the whole Body needs to celebrate. This is the mark of a truly healthy group of believers.

Passover, the Blood of Jesus, and God's Protection in Perilous Times | KIB 524 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description: In this powerful episode of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake shift from their planned teaching to focus on the urgent spiritual realities of this Passover season. As global tensions rise and uncertainty increases, they call the remnant to center their faith on the power of the blood of Jesus, the meaning of Passover, and the believer's need to remain aligned with God's covenant in the days ahead. Mary Lou opens with an exhortation to pray for soldiers, families, and the body of Christ, while also encouraging believers to keep their hope anchored in God's purposes. Dr. Lake then unpacks the prophetic significance of Passover, showing how it represents protection from judgment, deliverance from bondage, and the covenant security found only under the blood of the Lamb. This episode also includes a moving time of communion / the Lord's Supper, with teaching on the broken body and shed blood of Jesus, connecting Passover to both personal healing and covenant faithfulness. If you need encouragement, spiritual focus, and a renewed awareness of what Christ has accomplished for you, this episode will strengthen your heart. As we move through increasingly perilous times, this message is a timely reminder: What is under the blood is protected by God.

In this sermon on Romans 12:3–5 titled “The Body of Christ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones teaches the principle that everything is of grace. This principle ought to cause one to think soberly, not more highly. Consider the nature and parts of the human body and see this applied towards one's position in the Christian church. A body has an organic unity that is vital. No one can put themselves into the body of Christ; only the Lord can add to the church. There is great variety and unity in the body. There is a different function for each member and this must not be forgotten. Christians must not envy one another for the positions each is granted. Some parts are not spoke of, but are essential to the working of the whole of the body. If one thinks of their gifts as independent, they should remember that their gifts are not for themselves but that they are a part of the whole and serve the whole. All are subservient to the head and they don't decide what they want to do but Christ does. The listener is encouraged to be ready to obey His every command and be at His service, standing amazed that they have any place in this body at all.

The Placebo of the Entertainment Church | Why the American Church Is Spiritually Weak KWR0058 Kingdom War Room   Description In this powerful episode of the Kingdom War Room, Dr. Michael Lake, Dr. Mike Spaulding, and Dr. Corby Shuey expose the placebo of the entertainment church and why it has left much of the modern church spiritually weak, biblically shallow, and unprepared for the days ahead. The discussion addresses how seeker-sensitive models, business-driven ministry, false spirituality, and biblical illiteracy have created a dangerous vacuum in the Body of Christ. The team contrasts this man-made system with the true pattern of New Testament discipleship, spiritual maturity, pastoral care, and deep teaching from the Word of God. This episode is a serious call for pastors, leaders, and believers to return to Christ and Him crucified, to reopen the wells that have been stopped up by Babylonian compromise, and to pursue a faith that is holy, transformative, and grounded in Scripture. If you are hungry for substance rather than spectacle, for truth rather than performance, and for real kingdom life instead of religious entertainment, this War Room conversation is for you. In this episode: The spiritual danger of the entertainment church model Why biblical illiteracy has opened the door to deception How mega-church culture and business models distorted ministry The difference between true apostles, prophets, and celebrity religion Why many churches produce offerings, but not fruit The need to return to deep discipleship and real pastoral ministry Re-digging the wells of the apostles for the remnant in the last days Please like, share, and subscribe to help us get these Kingdom truths to more believers around the world.
