Podcasts about Charles Wesley

Practically, how do we carve out time, in the midst of hectic mothering, to seek the Lord in prayer? Susanna Wesley, mother of evangelists John and Charles Wesley, had sixteen kids. She was certainly busy, but she taught her kids that if they saw her with an apron over her head, they were not to bother her because that meant that she was in prayer or in the Word. That's a woman committed to depending on the Father. I want to be a mother like that. I love this anecdote because it shows creativity and determination. If I really want to do something, I tend to find a way to do it. The most important practical step to praying more is being convinced we need to pray more. But once we are relatively convinced, we need to ask God's help to find creative and life-giving ways to make it happen.Let's think through two categories of prayer – private prayer and prayer on the go – and a few routines that might be helpful in making them happen. 

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, Peter Rosenberger explores the power of questions, the kind that cut through noise, expose truth, and force clarity in moments when something real is at stake. Drawing from hospital rooms, caregiving, Scripture, politics, and even funeral services, Peter examines why caregivers often learn to ask better questions than the rest of the culture. From Ronald Reagan's famous debate question to God's questions to Job, this episode looks at how honest questions reveal what we truly believe, what we fear, and what we ultimately want our lives to stand for. Peter also shares practical caregiving wisdom about preparing a home for mobility challenges, including lessons learned from nearly forty years of caring for his wife Gracie who lives with severe disabilities.  Plus: another installment of Hymns Every Caregiver Ought to Know, featuring Charles Wesley's "And Can It Be," and why exhausted caregivers need more than slogans, they need truth strong enough to steady the soul.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Christ is the Christ and has acquired redemption from sin and death for this very purpose that the Holy Spirit should change our Old Adam into a new man, that we are to be dead unto sin and live unto righteousness, as Paul teaches Romans 6, and that we are to begin this change and increase in this new life here and consummate it hereafter.”~Martin Luther (1483-1546), German reformer “Sanctification grows out of faith in Jesus Christ. Remember holiness is a flower, not a root; it is not sanctification that saves, but salvation that sanctifies.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), British preacher “He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me.”~“O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” Charles Wesley (1707-1788), British hymn writer “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.”~Matthew 6:24 (ESV) “You must always be at it while you live; do not take a day off from this work; always be killing sin or it will be killing you.”~John Owen (1616-1683), British theologianSERMON PASSAGERomans 6:12-23 (ESV) 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In this episode, we track the work of John and Charles Wesley during the fall of 1740 as they deal with challenges from the Moravians, the Calvinists, the Church of England, and the law. Here is a link to The History of Methodism Volume 1 & 2 in English.Here is a link to The History of Methodism Volume 1 & 2 in Spanish. You can support the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/historyofmethodismYou can check out the updated website here: https://www.historyofmethodism.com/You can check out our books here: https://www.historyofmethodism.com/wroot-press.htmlAnd you can look at the Wesley Corpus website here: https://corpus.historyofmethodism.com/

Here is the blurb for this episode: In this episode of "The Choral Director's Toolbox," Dr. Jamea Sale explores "Helping Singers Condition for Athletic Singing," examining the science of vocal endurance through the lens of exercise physiology and voice research. Drawing on principles of vocal load management, respiratory coordination, laryngeal efficiency, and recovery, Dr. Sale explains how singers can build sustainable endurance for demanding repertoire and performance schedules. From semi-occluded vocal tract exercises to structured rehearsal pacing, this practical discussion offers choral directors and singers concrete strategies for developing healthy, resilient voices. In today's listener question, Dr. William Baker responds to concerns about burnout and work-life balance in the demanding world of choral leadership. With warmth and perspective, he reflects on gratitude, intentional rest, and the importance of remembering why we chose this life in music. Today's inspiration is Alice Parker's arrangement of "A Charge to Keep," performed by the Robert Shaw Chorale from their 1967 RCA Victor recording "Sing to the Lord," a sturdy and deeply expressive setting of Charles Wesley's timeless hymn text. Join us for an encouraging and insightful episode on endurance, recovery, and sustaining both the voice and the spirit in a lifetime of choral music.

If your homeschool feels like a scattered pile of tasks instead of a clear path forward, this episode is going to change how you see everything.We are talking about homeschool vision — what it is, why most moms are missing it, and how two simple, practical activities this week can give your homeschool real direction and purpose. You will walk away with a one-sentence vision statement and a question that helps you evaluate everything you are already doing.Homeschool moms who are tired of feeling reactive, copying everyone else, and second-guessing every decision will find this episode both clarifying and freeing. When you build from vision instead of reacting to everything around you, your homeschool starts to feel like something you are intentionally building — not just surviving.✅2 practical activities to do this week to add purpose in your homeschool✅Why a homeschool without vision is just a pile of lessons✅The 1 sentence that gives your entire homeschool a clear direction✅The question that reveals if you are building something or just staying busy✅Why reactive homeschooling is keeping you exhausted and stuckGrab the free resource mentioned in this episode and start building a homeschool with real vision and direction today.Resources for You Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp: A 5-Day Live Experience (begins May 12) Raising Leaders Not Followers Course VIP Wait List - FREE with exclusive benefits & events, just for our VIPersShow Notes:The Missing Piece in Your Homeschool: VisionIf your homeschool feels reactive, scattered, or like you're just trying to get through the day — you're not alone. A lot of us homeschool moms, homeschooling starts to feel like just a big string of tasks instead of a clear direction of where you are going. And some of that is because we are just giving our kids tasks. We are developing followers. They're not thinking for themselves.Followers complete tasks. But leaders live from vision. A homeschool without vision is just a pile of lessons. A homeschool with vision gives you, mom, a path to shape your child, a path to make wise decisions, and a path to prepare for the upcoming school year.Susanna Wesley Parented with IntentionI've talked about Susanna Wesley many times, but I want to go in a little different direction with her today. She was a mom who parented with intention. She didn't just drift around. She had 19 kids — and she raised a large family without her husband there many times.And yet she still set aside time, even with a large family, to teach her children individually and regularly. About once a week or once every other week, she spent time individually with each of her kids. She didn't just manage behavior. She wanted to shape their minds and their hearts with a purpose.Two of her sons, John and Charles Wesley, became very strong leaders in the Christian community. John Wesley began the Methodist denomination. Charles Wesley wrote over 4,000 to 6,000 hymns. They are the fruit and the results of an intentional mother.I bet you would like your kids to be raised up like that — so that when they are adults, they are leading for Jesus and influencing for Jesus.What Susanna Wesley Actually DidSusanna Wesley realized education was more than academics. Here are a few of the things she made sure were going on in her home. She had a religious education that included daily devotions, time for worship and singing, and a Sabbath each week. She built routines — for sleeping, for meals, for dining. She worked on her kids being orderly and disciplined and taught them how to self-regulate.Many of us need to be teaching our kids how to self-regulate, because when they have that self-control, they are going to grow up to be a different kind of person. I was listening to a podcast from Revive Our Hearts and they talked about a study done with four-year-olds. Each child was brought in and given a marshmallow. They were told — you can have it now, or if you wait until I come back, you get two.About a third ate that marshmallow immediately. A third waited but not long enough. A third waited for the second marshmallow. When they followed up with these same kids at 18 years old, the ones who waited had self-control, could regulate themselves, and went on to have more successful lives. They had perseverance, strong work ethic, and could deal with frustrations and hard times. Even a four-year-old can begin learning to self-regulate.She also was very purposeful in teaching manners. This is building character. She had a purpose with each of her kids and was teaching them far more than academics — because some of this other stuff is what will truly prepare our kids for adult life.Do You Have a Vision for Your Homeschool?Vision gives your homeschool direction instead of just a bunch of activities. It's what keeps you from making all your decisions based on feelings or what feels urgent. When you know why you are homeschooling, your choices get clear. You stop asking what do I do next and you start asking what are we building.For me, I wanted to build my kids to think critically and think biblically. That is homeschooling and mothering with intention — and it is very different than reactive.If you have a reactive homeschool, you're just chasing whatever the curriculum trends are, copying other moms because it looks like the right thing, changing direction constantly. But when you homeschool with intention and purpose, you are choosing tools and activities that match your family's goals. God made you different. He made your kids different. You need a vision for your homeschool.Public school trains your kids to follow a system and wait for someone to tell them what to do. Christian homeschool vision trains kids to follow the truth.Two Things to Do This WeekFirst, write one sentence that says what you want your homeschool to produce in your child. It doesn't need to be fancy — it needs to be simple and easy to understand. You might even put it on a sticky note wherever you sit down to homeschool or where you do your planning. Character, faith, confidence, wise thinking, a love of learning — what is it that you want to build in your children?Second, pick one thing you already do in your homeschool and ask yourself — does this support our vision, or does it just fill up time? That one question can save you from a lot of busy work you don't need to be doing. You don't need more guilt, mom. You need direction.What Happens When You Stop Copying Everyone ElseJanelle Kudson — she has seven kids — said she became so consumed with academics, and then God showed her there were more important things than just a rigorous academic experience. When she realized this, the way she saw homeschooling changed. She stopped measuring her success by checking off the checkboxes and started measuring it on a long-term foundation.Are you building a long-term foundation? You may not see the results for years to come, but you should be making small steps each and every year to give your kids a solid foundation from where they can move into adult life. That's what happens when you stop copying everyone else and start homeschooling on purpose — your family's purpose. And that's really what raising leaders is all about. Knowing where you are going.I've got a few events this month, and one of them is our Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp. We spend one day on vision and goals so that you can know exactly where you're headed. It is a five-day live experience — six days if you come as a VIP.If you've been homeschooling reactively — just reacting to everything and copying everyone else — this is your chance to shift your perspective. Homeschool Freedom Boot Camp is where we start building a homeschool with direction, confidence, and purpose. And yes, this is the kind of foundation that leads right into Raising Leaders, Not Followers.We begin on May 12th. Join here. You can also join the Raising Leaders, Not Followers VIP list for exclusive access to special bonuses and events in May. I can't wait to see you there.

“He left His Father's throne above, so free, so infinite his grace! Emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race. ‘‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, For Oh my God, it found out me!” — Charles Wesley, d.1788 Luke 10:1-16

Your kids can pass a test — but can they evaluate an idea, make a wise decision, or stand for truth when no one is watching? If that question makes you pause, this episode is exactly what you need to hear.We are breaking down why the skills of critical thinking matter more than any answer in a textbook.. I'm also sharing 1 powerful habit that changes everything about how your kids learn and think:✅The 1 daily habit that builds skills of critical thinking in any subject✅Whether memorizing answers produces followers or leaders✅Why asking questions is more powerful than any curriculum you can buy✅What to do so you can see your kids start thinking✅What it looks like when your child can finally evaluate ideas on their ownGrab the free resources mentioned in this episode and start building thinkers in your homeschool today.Resources for You FREE Read Aloud Magic FREE Notebooking Pages Become a VIP when you join the Raising Leaders Not Followers VIP Wait List. . . . - Get extra perks as a VIP in May!Show Notes:Your Child Doesn't Need to Know the Answer — They Need to Know How to ThinkYour child doesn't need to just know the answer. They need to know how to think and make decisions. A kid who can memorize facts but can't evaluate ideas is going to struggle in college, in work, and in life. Let's talk about a way to solve this problem today.What Are You Actually Training Your Kids For?I know you want the best for your kids. You want them to be prepared for the real world. You want them to have strong faith and discernment. But you're worried your kids may not be ready. You're tired of the idea that more school automatically means more success — that the more we do in school, the more successful they're going to be. These are myths.Your goal shouldn't just be that your kid can pass a test. A test just memorizes — it analyzes facts. For me, our goal was that our kids would follow Jesus, think clearly and biblically, and make wise decisions when we weren't around. We wanted to prepare them for real life.Schools teach answers. But leaders evaluate ideas. The problem is answers aren't enough. Schools teach to the test — it's the conveyor belt. Everyone does the same thing and gets a test to see if they've memorized all the answers. And it produces followers. Followers who just wait for direction. Followers who are waiting for approval or waiting for a worksheet to turn in.Thinkers and leaders — that's what I wanted for my kids. Not necessarily the president of the United States, but kids who lead in their own life, in their home, in their family. If your child has only been trained to fill in the blanks, don't be surprised when they struggle to take ownership and they're just waiting for someone to tell them what to do.So my question to you is — what are you training your children for?Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Courage to Think for YourselfI want to share a story about a man named Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a German pastor and theologian during Nazi rule. The surrounding culture was demanding conformity, fear, and silence. But he refused to follow. He was going to stand for truth. He kept asking what was right before God — not what was safe or popular.Bonhoeffer did not let the culture tell him what was true. He was surrounded by pressure, but he chose his own conviction. That is what discernment looks like.I don't remember the entire story, but I think it's important that we raise our kids to not have blind compliance to what everyone's telling them to do — but the courage to stand for truth. Spiritually, yes, but also in what they're learning. The history books are being rewritten, and we need to have discernment to know what is truth and what is not.Kids learn in school that it's just about the right answer, not the right question. They're afraid to be wrong. Discernment is both spiritual and practical. And kids need to learn how to pause, reflect, and ask what matters — and make sure their thinking is biblically based.Susanna Wesley Raised ThinkersSusanna Wesley was the mother of John Wesley and Charles Wesley. She home educated her children in the 1600s and was known for setting aside time to teach each of her kids individually rather than just letting them drift. She emphasized spiritual formation, discipline, and thoughtful thinking. She would ask questions.John Wesley went on to start the Methodist church. Charles Wesley wrote somewhere between 6,500 and 9,000 hymns. I can't imagine writing a hymn — that takes a lot of thinking ability.Susanna Wesley's home became a place where children learned to think about God, truth, and obedience with purpose. She wasn't just managing a household. She was shaping her children in character and in thinking. She didn't raise them to comply. She trained them to think, to question, and to live under God's truth.Again — what are you training your kids for? Just to do what mom tells them to do? Or to think critically and biblically?The One Habit That Changes Everything: QuestionsOkay, how do you actually do this? It's really one habit that changes everything — questions. You can use questions in any subject area.When I started using questions, it helped me relax and not be so worried about a checklist. I didn't even need curriculum for every subject because we could read books and ask questions. When I was a school teacher, I was supposed to follow the curriculum and couldn't really veer off of it — and that didn't encourage thinking on the part of my students. When I started homeschooling and started using questions, it changed everything. I was much more relaxed and much more intentional. My kids could take ownership by following their interests.I remember Hunter was into sports, and we were studying Roman history — which he didn't love at the time. But he did love sports, so we let him write a paper on Derek Jeter, one of the greatest shortstops in baseball. He learned about baseball science, math, history — all of it. And you can always ask questions like — why does this matter? What am I missing? What does this tell me about God, people, or truth? Did this person act the way God would want them to act? Did they have honor? And then — now that you've done all this, what are we going to do with this information?How to Start Using Questions This WeekTake one subject you're doing this week. Instead of a worksheet, ask one question about that topic. Keep it simple. Don't overteach. Let the conversation do the work.And here's my trick — when you ask a question, do not answer your own question. Ask another question. You know what happens when there's quiet and you can't handle it? You give them the answer. And what are you training your kids to do? To wait until mom answers her own question, and then we can move on because I don't have to think.Allow some time for quiet and for them to think. If they don't know the answer, ask a different question until you can begin a conversation. This is not a system or a lot of extra things to do. It is a way of life.This is how I teach my grandkids. This is how I taught my kids — in science, literature, music, art, math, history, character building, even cleaning the house. Why do I have to do this? Well, why do you think you have to do this? Turn everything into a question and let them come up with the answers. It's not about your children having the right answer. It's about asking the right question.What This Produces in Your KidsImagine your kids as confident decision makers. Kids who recognize truth. Teenagers who can question lies because they've been thinking on their own. Young adults who know how to act without panicking. Faith that lasts beyond your home.One of my students, Tracy Smith, said it so well — I love the idea of getting off the conveyor belt. Our kids are not cookie cutters. They all have unique thoughts, ideas, and talents that God has given them. If they are not given the opportunity to explore those, their gifts and offerings to this world are stifled. We need to allow them the chance to come to their individual conclusions — and they will give the world something to think about instead of the world telling them what to think.Another student, Rose, said after taking our leadership course — this helped me see how I could teach my kids to think logically. She was encouraged by the real life stories she could relate to, and she said the methods were transformational.You are not alone. These are methods that work. They are real and you can achieve them.The two free tools from last week — the Read Aloud Magic e-book and the free notebooking pages — combined with this idea of questions are three tools that can help you raise your kids to think well and think on their own. Grab those links in the show notes.And stay close to my emails and this podcast because I've got a boot camp coming up that is going to show you how to implement all of this in a real homeschool life. I can't wait to share more details. If you want to get on the waitlist, the link is in the show notes.

It's Charles Wesley Godwin's second Stagecoach appearance and he already feels like an old pro. He's premiering new music at the festival this year, including one with a major country star. Producer Jessica caught up with him backstage to get all the scoop!

In this episode, we follow Charles Wesley to Bristol in the summer of 1740. While John dealt with the crisis at Fetter Lane in London, Charles found renewal among the coal miners of Kingswood, clashed with a hostile clergyman at Temple Church, survived a serious fever, and wrote a moving letter to George Whitefield seeking unity despite their theological differences. Through Charles's journal and letters, we see the Methodist movement growing in ways that London could not have predicted.You can support the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/historyofmethodismYou can check out the updated website here: https://www.historyofmethodism.com/You can check out our books here: https://www.historyofmethodism.com/wroot-press.htmlAnd you can look at the Wesley Corpus website here: https://corpus.historyofmethodism.com/

La influencia más profunda rara vez proviene de posiciones visibles. Con frecuencia nace de vidas que, día tras día, permanecen firmes en lo correcto. La historia registra el caso de Susanna Wesley, madre de John y Charles Wesley. Crio a diecinueve hijos en circunstancias económicas difíciles y aun así dedicó tiempo a instruirlos espiritualmente. Aquella fidelidad silenciosa terminó influyendo en el despertar espiritual que transformó a miles de personas en Inglaterra. La fidelidad cotidiana tiene un alcance que no siempre se percibe de inmediato. Una palabra de ánimo, un gesto de integridad o una oración constante pueden sembrar semillas que con el tiempo producen fruto. El Señor Jesús enseñó que los discípulos son luz del mundo. La luz no hace ruido, pero cambia completamente el ambiente donde aparece. Así que vive con fidelidad incluso en lo que parece pequeño. Una vida alineada con Dios puede influir mucho más de lo que imaginas. La Biblia dice en Mateo 5:16: “Así alumbre vuestra luz delante de los hombres…”. (RV1960).

Robert J. Morgan joins Michael Easley for a powerful conversation about the history, theology, and enduring influence of Christian hymns. Why have these songs lasted for centuries? What are we losing when churches abandon them? And how can we recover the richness of hymnody without rejecting modern worship? Drawing from his book The Origin of Hymns, Morgan traces the story of congregational singing from the song of Moses in Book of Exodus, through the golden age of English hymnody with writers like Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley, to the modern era. He shares the powerful backstory behind “It Is Well With My Soul” by Horatio Spafford, and how that hymn connects to the film I Can Only Imagine 2. This episode challenges pastors, worship leaders, and believers to rediscover hymns not as nostalgia—but as theological formation. Hymns teach us how to worship, how to suffer, and how to endure.

One of the greatest hymns for Christmas is Hark the Herald Angels Sing. In this hymn, Charles Wesley reminds us of the heavenly reality of where Jesus comes from, that he is God incarnate for us and that through him, our sin nature can be overcome. This beautiful hymn is the basis of Father Jeremiah's sermon for the First Sunday of Christmas.Image: See page for author, CC BY 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons

I caught up with a good chunk of The Allegheny High boys in central Oregon while they were out doing what they do best: making Charles Wesley Godwin sound like a freight train and giving folks goosebumps. We posted up near Bend for a hang that starts off with “are we about to get murdered?” energy… and quickly turns into a full-on origin story: the Beaver County scene that shaped them, jam nights that built their chops, and the larger-than-life local legends who taught them the most important rule of all: never take a gig off, even if a guitar ends up in a popcorn machine. From there, we get nerdy in the best way: production philosophy (and why recording is basically 95% failure and 5% magic), the real behind-the-scenes of tracking big guitars, and that moment when a song hits so hard you have to sit in the dark and just… listen. Also: stoner-rock riffs hiding inside “country,” touring gear that makes your heart do the pitter-patter thing, Boss pedal picks, and a Pittsburgh-area pizza style that sounds fake until you try it.

Last week, Pastor Marcus encouraged us to both ponder (think intellectually) and treasure (engage emotionally) the coming of Christ. In this weeks message, Pastor Marcus unpacks the mystery of the incarnation through Charles Wesley's beloved hymn "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." Drawing from John 1, he reveals how Jesus—the living Word—stepped into our story not just to save us, but to make himself knowable. Through vivid examples from C.S. Lewis to Dorothy Sayers, Pastor Marcus answers the question, "what difference does the incarnation of God make?" By displaying God's choice to dwell among us transforms our understanding of suffering and offers unprecedented comfort.

Inspired by the angels' appearance to the shepherds in Luke 2, Charles Wesley composed this hymn about the Savior King. We zoom in on this hymn with one important question in mind: How does it help us see Jesus?

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. "Hark! the herald angels sing, 'Glory to the newborn King: peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!" Charles Wesley penned these beautiful words to music that Mendelssohn wrote; and even now — hundreds of years later — you can still hear this song in the mall as you shop for Christmas. Did you know that many of our classic Christmas songs declare the Good News of what Jesus has done? God has given us a way to be reconciled with Him through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We celebrate this season Jesus coming as a baby born to a virgin. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. The Bible says in Isaiah that "He was pierced for our transgressions/crushed for our iniquities." He brought peace to a people drowning in their wrongdoings and separated from God. Jesus offers the free gift of eternal life to all who would believe and place their trust in Him. For more, visit sharelife.today.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? It's a story that starts at the beginning of time. In this episode of Jesus Stories, we tell the entire story of Christmas. What happened in the beginning which created the need for Jesus to come to earth? How did that happen? (Yes, the familiar story you've heard all your life, maybe!) What does it mean for you and me today? How does Jesus brings us new life, reconciliation, and salvation? Without this coming we would still be looking for those life-giving attributes.

Jesus didn’t just come to teach us or inspire us; He came to reconcile us to God. In this Advent episode, Nicole explores Hark! The Herald Angels Sing—one of the most beloved Christmas hymns—and reveals how richly it is woven with Scripture. With more than 34 direct biblical references, Charles Wesley’s hymn is far more than a seasonal melody; it is a sweeping declaration of the Gospel. Nicole walks listeners through the incarnation, reconciliation, new birth, and the cosmic hope that Jesus brings. From Luke 2’s angelic announcement to Romans 5’s explanation of reconciliation, this episode unpacks why this hymn is actually a lyrical theology lesson celebrating Christ’s mission to redeem humanity. Main Takeaways: Why this Christmas hymn is actually a full retelling of the Gospel message How Luke 2 connects to the angels’ proclamation of peace and joy What “God and sinners reconciled” truly means according to Romans 5 The significance of Christ “laying His glory by” and becoming fully God and fully man Why being “born again” is the heart of the Christmas message How Jesus brings spiritual life that cannot die—even when our physical bodies do

Send us a textThe First Great Awakening: John and Charles Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitfieldhttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1PADJzTnigWh4dr1LGzlxg7IfNyXKDvKe/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=100334557285826442166&rtpof=true&sd=true

In 1752 the Moravian preacher and minister John Cennick wrote a hymn called 'Lo he comes with countless trumpets' based on Revelation 1:7, referring to Jesus coming with the clouds in such a way that every eye will see Him. Six years later in 1758, Charles Wesley, the prolific composer of over 6500 hymns, substantially revised the piece to make it what it remains to this day: one of the best loved and most anointed of all Anglican hymns, cram full of Biblical references. It was first published that same year in John and Charles Wesley's 'Hymns of Intercession for all Mankind', a publication that sought to honour Paul's command in 1 Timothy 2:1: ‘I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men'. Amongst the forty hymns in that volume can be found hymns for monarchs (George II and Frederick the Great), institutions (courts, parliament, the army and navy, universities), childbirth, young children, prisoners and captives, widows, ‘our Enemies, Persecutors and Slanderers', and ‘our unconverted Relations' - as well as praying for those caught up in theological tangle, such as ‘Arians, Socianians (Unitarians), Deists and Pelagians.' for some of those we can substitute modern heresies! This exultant rendering led into an extended improvisation that became a beautiful and intimate worship song without words, including a remembrance of 'When I survey the wondrous cross,' and a cello solo that Jo Garcia played, just a couple of weeks before she went to join the Lord in glory. This is the full version of the words. Lo! he comes with clouds descending, once for favoured sinners slain; thousand thousand saints attending hail the King who comes again. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God appears, on earth to reign. 2. Every eye shall now behold him, robed in awesome majesty; those who mocked, despised and sold him, pierced and nailed him to the tree, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, shall the true Messiah see. 3. Those deep wounds of cross and passion still his dazzling body bears, cause of endless exultation to his ransomed worshippers: with what wonder, with what wonder, with what wonder, we shall see those glorious scars! 4. Now redemption, long expected, see with solemn joy appear: saints, whose faith this world rejected, meet their Saviour in the air. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! See the day of God appear. 5. Yes, Amen! let all adore you high on your eternal throne! Saviour, take the power and glory, claim the kingdom for your own. Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus! Everlasting God, come down! Enjoy and worship the coming King! 

In 1744, Charles Wesley published the hymn Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.This hymn, rich with theological truth, reminds us of the King who came and who will return, bringing true rest and freedom for His people.

Send us a textThe beloved hymn Rock Of Ages by Augustus M. Toplady was published in the late 1700s and came out of England.  The hymn itself is still popular and sung worldwide, all these years later.  While the hymns is well-known, some of the backstory and context surrounding Mr. Toplady is not.  Toplady and evangelist John Wesley had a very public feud over something that is still being debated today:  Calvinism vs. Arminianism.  Toplady as a Calvinist had strong disagreements with Wesley's views and how much Wesley was influencing the Church of England.  Today's podcast goes into this rift between these two men and the beautiful song that was written in the midst of it all:  Rock Of Ages.  Rock Of Ages CoverDerek's Hymns Playlist On YouTube

In his famous hymn, "O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing," Charles Wesley exalted the name of Jesus by writing, "Tis music in a sinner's ear, tis life and health and peace." Unfortunately, our Christian walk often seems lifeless, weak, and sickly, filled with turmoil and restlessness. How can we experience the abundant life and all-surpassing peace that can come from daily intimate fellowship with the Lord?

John Wesley was an Anglican cleric and Christian theologian. Wesley is largely credited, along with his brother Charles Wesley, with founding the Methodist movement which began when he took to open-air preaching in a similar manner to George Whitefield. In contrast to George Whitefield's Calvinism (which later led to the forming of the Calvinistic Methodists), Wesley embraced Arminianism. Methodism in both forms was a highly successful evangelical movement in the United Kingdom, which encouraged people to experience Christ personally. Wesley believed that this doctrine should be constantly preached, especially among the people called Methodists. In fact, he contended that the purpose of the Methodist movement was to "spread scriptural holiness across England." Throughout his life, Wesley remained within the Church of England and insisted that his movement was well within the bounds of the Anglican tradition. His maverick use of church policy put him at odds with many within the Church of England, though toward the end of his life he was widely respected . ••• RESOURCE - https://www.soundcloud.com/thewaytogod/ . ••• RESOURCE - https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/mclean/kjv/john.1%20 .••• FERP250927-Episode#400b GOT250927 Ep400b . ••• The Secret Behind the Believers Dominion, Part-8b: The Secret of Grace, Segment-2 .Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/fresh-encounter-radio-podcast.

One of Charles Wesley's greatest hymns is "And Can It Be That I Should Gain." Seizing upon the glorious truths of Chapter 8 in Romans, Wesley wrote: No condemnation now I dread; Jesus and all in him is mine. He knew that the amazing love of Christ had set him free from any possible condemnation and had made him sing with joy. Do you rejoice in the knowledge that there is no condemnation for you?

Charles Wesley’s hymn And Can It Be was born out of his own dramatic conversion, capturing the wonder of God’s amazing love. Generations later, this hymn still unites the church in awe and worship.

Sterling Allen is a pastor in the Global Methodist Church, but he's also a musician with tremendous contributions to the world of worship. He has given us a hymnal of curated hymns from Charles Wesley's vault, and now he is working togetehr with Seedbed to produce worship planners for each liturgical year. We used the opportunity of this great resource to talk with Sterling about worship elements and planning for the year ahead. Especially if you're a pastor, this is a great listen!
