Podcasts about Charles Wesley

Step into a Wesleyan church on any given Sunday, and you might hear a Charles Wesley hymn followed by a modern worship chorus. In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Bob Black, we explore how this fusion of tradition and modernity reflects the church's core convictions. You'll learn how Wesleyans approach grace, baptism, communion, leadership, and what it means to pursue holiness today.

Susanna Wesley - Mãe de John e Charles Wesley, influenciou o movimento metodista a partir do lar. Educadora dedicada, instruía seus muitos filhos na fé e na disciplina cristã. Sua vida de oração e ensino bíblico em casa deixou um legado espiritual duradouro.

This Pentecost Sunday sermon explores the theme of overcoming the fear of death through faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Understanding our mortality can lead to different life choices, but ultimately, true freedom comes from embracing God's love and the promise of eternal life. The message weaves together personal experiences, biblical teachings, and the lyrics of Charles Wesley's hymn "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" to illustrate how the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—works to transform believers and free them from the bondage of sin and fear of death.

The Methodist Church has split and one side is growing fast. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany Cocker unpack the theological roots of Methodism, why nearly 5,000 churches have joined the Global Methodist movement (a fairly new denomination), and what makes this tradition so distinct in today's world. They explore the historical foundations of Methodism, the influence of John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield, and how the movement developed across England and the American colonies.Here's What We Discussed:00:33 – The Roots of MethodismHow the term “Methodist” began as a slur, and how the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield formed a movement focused on prayer, discipline, and Scriptural devotion.03:04 – John Wesley in AmericaJohn Wesley's short-lived ministry in colonial Georgia and how his personal struggles helped shape the future of Methodism.05:58 – Charles Wesley's HymnsCharles Wesley's theological influence through music, and why his hymns remain central to Methodist worship today.10:06 – George Whitefield's Evangelistic ReachA look at Whitefield's powerful preaching ministry, which reached an estimated 80% of colonial America, and his foundational role in the Methodist revival.13:05 – United vs. Global Methodist: The Modern SplitKey reasons behind the recent division, including differing views on biblical authority and Scriptural application.17:11 – A Typical Methodist Worship ServiceWhat to expect on a Sunday in a Methodist church: a blend of liturgy, creeds, music (both hymns and contemporary), and Scripture-based preaching.20:10 – Church Leadership & Governance An overview of the Methodist church's conference-based structure, role of bishops, and lay participation in decision-making.22:05 – Wesleyan Theology & Sanctification What “Christian perfection” really means in Methodist theology, and why the emphasis on sanctification and personal salvation sets this tradition apart.Key Quote:“One of the things that sets Wesleyan theology apart is John Wesley's view on what came to be known as Christian perfection, or entire sanctification. Wesley didn't teach that Christians become sinless in this life, but that we can, through God's grace, grow into full maturity in Christ. That means being wholly devoted to God and to loving others. The deeper you go into the sanctification process, the less you're going to sin.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

2025晨鐘課－每天，都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活，點亮2025每一天！ 借鑑過去，活在當下，展望未來！ 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 5月23日 怎能如此 「你們必歡歡喜喜而出來，平平安安蒙引導。大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱；田野的樹木也都拍掌。」 以賽亞書 55：12   歸信基督是如此深刻而奇妙，甚至連撒但及其爪牙都無法完全理解箇中滋味。 查理．衛斯理（Charles Wesley，1707–1788）的信主歷程令人讚歎，他在1738年5月21日星期日歸主。他坦誠：「我現在發現自己已經與上帝和好了，並且因愛基督的盼望而喜樂。」成了新造之人的他，心中迸發出一首新歌，描繪了他的屬靈旅程。在 1738年5月23日星期二的日記裡，他寫道：「我在基督的保護下醒來，把我的全身心都獻上給祂。九點鐘時，我開始把歸信的經歷寫成一首讚美詩，卻因害怕驕傲而中斷了。布雷先生來訪，他鼓勵我不要理會撒但，繼續寫下去。我祈求基督與我同在，接著寫完了這首詩歌。」 查理．衛斯理並沒有言明他當時創作的是哪一首讚美詩。但很明顯他說的正是那首膾炙人口的《怎能如此》（And Can It Be？）。這首詩歌溫柔地描述了一個罪人如何因基督的公義而稱義，得以坦然無懼地走向永恆寶座。這首歌的第一段和副歌唱道： 「怎能如此，像我這罪人，也能蒙主寶血救贖？因我罪過使祂受苦，因我罪過，使祂受死，奇異的愛，何能如此，我主我神，竟為我死。」 舊約中有許多詩篇，都是能充分反映出詩人靈程經歷的祈禱之歌。那麼今天，何不將《怎能如此》或任何一首你喜歡的讚美詩作為默想的內容呢？當然也可以將它們當作你的禱告或讚美。在你繁忙的日常生活中，你仍然可以把心思放在上帝身上。

“He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me.”—Charles Wesley, “O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing” Luke 4:31-44

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 13th of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Proverbs 10:19: “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.”Then we go to the New Testament to the Gospel of Mark 14:61:”But He kept silent and answered nothing.” That was Jesus Christ when He was being interviewed and He responded by saying nothing. You know, this message probably applies to me more than it applies to you but we need to sometimes keep silent. Jesus never wasted His words. His speech was always “yes” or “no”, but nothing in between. He was decisive. You and I need to become more like that; it will cost us much less pain and confusion. We need to learn to measure our words. Do you know that international wars have started through foolish words? I know of marriages that have been destroyed by men and women who cannot control their tongues. We need to be careful. Many marriages have been destroyed through foolish words. If we haven't got anything good to say about someone, then we'd rather not say a word. The Wesley brothers, John and Charles Wesley, were instrumental by God to start one of the biggest revivals the world has ever known. Charles was the hymn-writer. Some of the most beautiful hymns that we sing were written by Charles Wesley, and John was the evangelist. Charles used to often say about his brother, “If you want to keep a secret then don't tell my brother.” I hope my wife is not listening to this message today.Billy Graham is an evangelist that I have a great respect for. He has literally touched millions and millions of lives all over the world. He wrote his autobiography called, “Just as I am.” It is a very heart-wrenching book because he kept nothing back. He said it all. Right at the back of his book he has a chapter that speaks about regrets. He said, “I have a few regrets”, he said, “one of them is, if I had to do it again I would speak less, I would study more, I would pray more.”I want to say to you today, “Let's keep silent and only speak when we really have to.”Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

This weekend we end of the Gesima Sundays and prepare to enter the season of Lent. Lent points us to the Love of God which is revealed in His work of salvation in the work of Jesus. It is fitting as we prepare to focus on that salvation that we reflect on the great LOVE of God which was caused our salvation.  The hymn that will be the focus of our service this weekend is the hymn "Love Divine, all Love Excelling" by Charles Wesley. Wesley grew up in the Anglican church but founded what we know today as the Methodist Church. Their focus was on Bible study and the work of God the Holy Spirit who brings us to faith, which we can see come out in this hymn. The hymn is addressed to Jesus, the "Love Divine" with a prayer that He would continue His work of salvation, begun at the cross, in us through the Holy Spirit. It reminds us that God work is not completed when we are brought to faith, but continues on throughout our lives, until we are called out of this life to our home of heaven. This hymn highlights all the way through the work of God's love for mankind. While it doesn't specifically mention our sin, it show our utter weakness and inability to save ourselves. It is God's love -- and it alone -- that accomplishes our redemption and sanctification. Join us as we study this hymn about the love of God shows in both Christ's redemption and the Spirit's work of sanctification. Rejoice in that perfect LOVE of God!

Durante más de doscientos años, estos himnos han sido una fuente de consuelo y aliento para los cristianos. Sin embargo, es posible que no conozcas un aspecto interesante sobre este hombre piadoso: también experimentó momentos de desánimo. Un día, mientras Wesley se encontraba junto a su escritorio, sumido en la tristeza por sus problemas, un pajarito voló a través de la ventana abierta y chocó con su pecho, buscando refugio en el interior de su saco. Wesley notó que el corazón del pajarito latía con rapidez, de modo que lo cubrió con la mano. Luego se asomó a la ventana para descubrir la razón por la que la avecilla sentía temor, y vio a un halcón que volaba en círculos. Mientras Wesley protegía al pajarito junto a su pecho, reflexionó sobre su propia experiencia y comprendió que él también podía encontrar refugio en Dios. Fue en ese momento que escribió las siguientes palabras: «Cariñoso Salvador, huyo de la tempestada tu seno protector, fiándome de tu bondad.Sálvame, Señor Jesús, de las olas del turbión;hasta el puerto de salud guía tú mi embarcación». Así como el pajarito encontró refugio en Wesley, nosotros podemos encontrar refugio en Dios. Él «es nuestro refugio y nuestra fuerza; nuestra ayuda en momentos de angustia» (Salmo 46: 1). Nos ama con amor eterno y nos consuela con su gracia y misericordia (ver Jeremías 31: 3; 2 Corintios 1: 3-4). No nos deja ni nos desampara, sino que está con nosotros en todo momento (ver Hebreos 13: 5; Mateo 28: 20). ¿Qué situaciones o circunstancias te hacen sentir temor o desánimo? ¿Cómo puedes buscar refugio en Dios y confiar en su bondad y protección? Cuando sientas temor o desánimo, acércate a Dios y hallarás refugio y paz en su amor. «Que el Señor te bendiga y te proteja; que el Señor te mire con agrado y te muestre su bondad; que el Señor te mire con amor y te conceda la paz» (Números 6: 24-26). 

Send us a textChristians remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus, son of Mary. Traditionally this has been done throughout many centuries either on January 6 or December 25. The date of his birth is never revealed, but the fact of his birth is essential for the salvation of people. The death of the Messiah Jesus by crucifixion was decreed by God from all eternity. He is the Lamb of God slain before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8, 1 Peter 1:19-20, Acts 2:23).   In order for him to make the one real and sufficient sacrifice for sin it was necessary for the Word, the Son, to assume humanity in a mortal body. Although death had no claim on him he was born the sinless holy son of Mary in order that he might as a man in the prime of his life lay down his life in death on behalf of humans. All people die because they are born sinful in Adam.  Because of the virgin birth through the power by the Holy Spirit Jesus was not born in Adam (Romans 5:16-19). Thus he could offer his sinless body as the sacrifice for the sins of his people (Hebrews 2: 10-15, Hebrews 10: 3-10, John 10:17-18, Isaiah 53). The hymnist Charles Wesley expressed it thusly:Christ, by highest Heaven adored;Christ the everlasting Lord;Late in time, behold Him come,Offspring of a virgin's womb.Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;Hail th' Incarnate Deity,Pleased as man with men to dwell,Jesus our Emmanuel. Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace!Hail the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings,Risen with healing in His wings.Mild He lays His glory by,Born that man no more may die.Born to raise the sons of earth,Born to give them second birth.Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Through the lens of Charles Wesley's beloved hymn Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, we journey through scripture, history, and the transformative power of God's love. Discover the deeper meaning of the angelic announcement in Luke 2:10-11, the contrast between earthly kings and the true King, and the cosmic significance of Christ's arrival as heaven and earth are reconciled.Whether you're singing along with the hymns or reflecting on the shepherds' response to the good news, this message invites you to embrace the joy of the gospel, live under the reign of God's peace, and share the hope of salvation with others.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we examined the origins of the popular Christmas song "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." It was written by Charles Wesley, who was an English Methodist leader and hymn writer. He was inspired by the sounds of London church bells while walking to church on Christmas Day. The hymn is one of the most evangelical Christmas songs we sing! Our guest was Dr. Alex McFarland, an apologist, author, evangelist, and culture analyst. He shared that Bible sales boomed in 2024, especially for first-time buyers. The Bible is out-selling other books 22-1. We also mentioned that Moody has several Christmas specials to enjoy, including the Karl and Crew Special.

Adapted from the sermon entitled “Joy” by Charles Wesley. Originally preached at Christchurch,  in Boston. 

Passage: 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, God's word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah: A voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way for the Lord; make his paths straight! 5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low; the crooked will become straight, the rough ways smooth, 6 and everyone will see the salvation of God. -- Luke 3:1-6 (CSB) Song: Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus (https://open.spotify.com/track/76rADNRd3LHK9cDszKtkWl?si=264519e48cad47fe) by Charles Wesley, Rita West Gernon, Rowland Hugh Prichard Lyrics: Come Thou long expected Jesus Born to set thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in thee Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth thou art Dear desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Born thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King Born to reign in us forever Now thy gracious kingdom bring By thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone By thine all sufficient merit Raise us to thy glorious throne You're our joy You're our hope Israel's strength and consolation Hope of all the earth thou art Dear desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Prayer: The Lord's Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name; your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

A part of the joy of Christmas is the element of surprise. Under the tree, a collection of bags and boxes sits neatly (or sometimes not so neatly) wrapped. Surprise is an essential part of the story. It has been that way since the very beginning. Christmas itself is a surprise. We often expect one thing when searching for life's answers, yet Jesus surprises us. Two of the four biographies of Jesus detail His birth—one skips it entirely, while the fourth can't help but reveal the unexpected. It's not just about how Jesus was born; it's about why He was born, what it means, and how it brings joy to life. That's what made it so surprising to the writer. First time listening to our podcast?

This week, it is my pleasure to sit down with Tetris addict and bass player Nate Catanzarite! Nate is a great musician who currently takes residence in Charles Wesley Godwin's band The Allegheny High. I started following Nate after he started listening to the show a little while back. Almost everyone in The Allegheny High are Beaver County boys so I've had the opportunity to sit down with a few. It's incredible to hear how many great players come from the same area and how they all came to be. Must be something in whatever they are serving at The Brighton Hotdog Shoppe! - This week, Nate and I sit down for a talk about his introduction to music, how he picked up the bass for the first time, meeting Charles Wesley Godwin, and tearing up the stage with the rest of the The Allegheny High. - Yinz can SUBSCRIBE & WATCH here! - Become a "friend" on Patreon and support the show

Welcome to our new series, My Christmas Playlist, where we will explore the deep spiritual meanings behind beloved Christmas songs! This week, we'll dive into "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," written by Charles Wesley. Through the perspective of shepherds, let's listen in and pause, "hark," and embrace the transformative gift of God's love and salvation.

Although it's the Church's New Year, the lectionary texts focus on Jesus' return at "the end time." They're about Jesus' expected coming and what it looks like to be ready. In 1 Thessalonians, Paul is praying for his letter's recipients. In Luke, Jesus talks about reading the signs of his return. What would it look like to pray for others as Paul does? And how could thinking about the end times help us to pray appropriately for others? Jonathan and Seth discuss these questions and how Martin Luther and Charles Wesley answered questions about their end-time actions in this New Year Episode. We're glad you're with us. Advent is full of an expectant joy that we hope seeps into your life; it is already starting to do its work on me (Seth, here). We'd love to hear about meaningful Advent practices or your thoughts about the election, which we frankly avoided in this episode, at noexpertsallowed@gmail.com.
