Podcasts about Children of God

Join Dr. Catherine Toon and Bishop Jamie Englehart for a deeply rich and eye-opening conversation: Is everyone a child of God? This conversation explores the biblical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of identity, adoption, and grace, and why understanding our true origin in God radically transforms how we live, love, and lead. Jamie unpacks powerful truths about the Imago Dei, the difference between nature and nurture, and what it means to mature as sons and daughters of God. They delve into the Hebrew and Roman frameworks of adoption, the prodigal son’s deeper message, and how religion has often distorted our view of a loving Father. If you've ever wrestled with shame, legalism, or felt like an outsider in God’s family, this episode will remind you: You belong. You've always belonged. Come be refreshed by the love of a Father who never left.

Thank you for listening! Resurrection Oakland Church is a community of people seeking to love our neighbors and our city as Jesus has loved us. Join us for the first of two weeks of visiting pastor Rev. Elbert McGowan Jr.'s preaching on Jesus' calling in our lives.

What does a congregation look like that's faithful to Paul's claim in Gal. 3? that our “oneness” is found by faith in Christ, not our sameness as we can so often see.  This week two members of Westwood will share their reflections on this question through the lens of their faith journey as members of the LGBT community. This message is brought to us by Pastor Jason. Our scripture is from Galatians Chapter 3 verses 23-29,

What we call Jesus reveals how we see Him—and how we see Him shapes everything. In this special family service, Pastor Warren opens with a fun moment with the kids, then leads us into the most important question Jesus ever asked: “But who do you say that I am?” Some called Him a carpenter. Some, a good teacher. Some, a prophet. But none of those were enough. Pastor Warren walks through Scripture to show how people saw Jesus—and how Jesus sees us. God doesn't just call us servants. He calls us Children. He calls us Friends. He calls us More Than Conquerors. This message reminds us that identity is mutual. What you believe about Jesus determines how you live. And what He calls you? Changes everything.

This Sunday's Inspirational Message is: Children of God Today, I guided us through the profound truths of Galatians 3:23–4:7, revealing how we're liberated from the burden of the law and embraced as God's beloved children through faith in Christ. This passage isn't just theology—it's a call to live differently, to embrace our identity as sons and daughters of God with boldness, purpose, and love. As you go out into the world this week, here are your action points to put this truth into practice: 1.    First, begin each morning with a bold, heartfelt prayer, trusting God as your loving Father to guide every step of your day. 2.    Second, reflect Christ's love by serving someone in your community—perhaps by sharing a home-cooked meal, lending a hand with a task, or simply offering a listening ear to a neighbor or friend. 3.    Third, take a step of faith and share the gospel with one person, inviting them to experience the transformative love of God, whether through a heartfelt conversation, a shared Bible verse, or an invitation to join us for worship at Our Savior's. * * * * * Once again, thanks for joining us in our time of worshiping the Lord through His Word!

As we conclude our series in Galatians we consider two ways to know if we have truly received and believed the Gospel.

Seeing yourself as a child of God frees you to see who you're actually living for.

Listen Now What does it truly mean to be a child of God? In this episode, Steve Wood explores the life-changing power of Christian identity, drawing from 1 John 3 and insights from spiritual writers like Sam Storms and the Navarre Bible. While many Christians are told they are children of God, few deeply know it in the biblical sense—a knowledge that transforms hearts and anchors faith. Steve unpacks why this identity isn't just a metaphor, but a supernatural reality brought about by the Holy Spirit, and how embracing it can protect faith—especially in a world where many young believers drift away. Learn how understanding your divine adoption can strengthen your relationship with God and provide lasting spiritual stability. Want more in-depth resources?

I see it often on social media, “We are all children of God.” It is meant to be an inclusive statement to provide assurance that God does not discriminate, loving some of us and hating others. In our readings on Pentecost Sunday, there is a nuance that I hadn't thought of before. We are all made in God's image, but we are not all children of God. God is the creator of all things and therefore is the creator of all humans, but it is important to recognize when the New Testament talks of “Father” and the people as the “children of God,” the verses are talking about those who have recognized Christ as their Lord and Savior. In Romans 8:14-17 we hear, “All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” In John 1:12-13, “But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.” So, it is those who are led by the Spirit of God and believe in God's name that are called God's children. Everyone is made in God's image, but it takes our recognition of the Holy Spirit working in our lives before we can claim to be a child and heir. It is on Pentecost each year that the Spirit comes anew to refresh us and reinforce that we are not only made in God's image, but we truly share in our birthright with all those who believe. I'm still processing photos from my recent trip to Turkey and Greece with Duke Divinity School, so I don't have a favorite yet. Walking in the footsteps of both the disciple John and apostle Paul reminded me of the inheritance that we share with them. The photo is from the tomb of St. John at St. John's Basilica near Izmir in Turkey, near the ancient city of Ephesus. Blessings, my friend,Agatha

The Children of God by park city church

Thank you for listening to this sermon from Fellowship Baptist Church. To learn more visit fbcpanamacity.com.

Are we all "children of God"? Well, we certainly are all God's creatures, but unfortunately, we possess the family likeness of our sinful forbears - a fallen, sinful nature. The Bible is clear that we need a second birth to bring us into the family of God. A birth from above. A spiritual birth. One that brings us into the family of God with the likeness of His Son. Has there ever been a time like that in YOUR life?

Cale explores Philippians 2:12-18. How can we live the virtues of purity and obedience as children of God, in the midst of a corrupt and wicked culture?

by Brandon Gremaud, Craig Ketchum, and Kristine Krause

What are the markers of a child of God? How can we know the truth about Jesus? And what does it mean to obey God's commands without trying to earn anything?

It's been said that First John "is a masterpiece in the art of edification" (George Findley, 1909).In this series, we will see how the Apostle John exhibits tender, pastoral care as he calls the church back to the three basics of Christian life: true doctrine, obedient living, and fervent devotion.This week's message, CHILDREN OF GOD, comes out of 1 JOHN 2:28-3:10.Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.rittmangrace.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rittman Grace Brethren Church⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rittmangrace⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RittmanGrace⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaXPiaa4z3iZMA4DkCihtHg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rittmangbc⁠

This Lord's Day, we reflect on the profound privilege of belonging to God's family. In Christ, we are adopted as sons and daughters and given His Spirit — receiving not only a new name, but also a new calling, with its duties, blessings, and privileges.

Message from Jill Rhodes on May 7, 2025

Ever been caught in a downpour? Not just a little spring rain—but one of those storms where the street turns into a river and you can't see a thing? That kind of overwhelming flood is actually a pretty great picture of how God lavishes His love on us. In 1 John 3:1-10, we're reminded that being called Children of God isn't just a label—it's a powerful truth. God's love is not cautious or reserved. It's a torrent. A deluge. This message explores what it means to live in that identity—with a focus on purity. Not just moral purity, but something deeper: wholeness. A life that isn't divided between Jesus and everything else. A sincere, single-hearted devotion that reflects who we really are in Him. If your faith feels like it's been on autopilot or you've been struggling with divided loyalties, you're not alone—and you're not stuck. Let this be a reminder (or a wake-up call) that Jesus is after your whole heart, not your performance. If this message encourages you, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. You can also follow us for more weekly content that helps you grow deeper in your walk with Jesus. #ChildrenOfGod #1John3 #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #BiblicalTeaching #Wholeness #Purity #AuthenticFaith #RefinersFire #SincereDevotion #SundayMessage #ChristianLife

Message from Sarah Ann Vail - Hardy on April 16, 2025

Public Faith, Private Strength: Living as Children of God The Homily begins by reflecting on the daily act of making choices, . . . . . . beginning with a personal story about struggling to wake up early for school. This serves as a metaphor for the broader and more meaningful choices we face in life, such as choosing to be kind, forgiving, and generous. However, the most crucial decision is choosing God. God's Children Choosing God brings not only spiritual benefits, such as being gathered, cleansed, and made into God's children, but also emotional strength and confidence . . . much like the boost we feel when a parent is present and supportive. The Homily continues and draws parallels between this and recognizing God's constant presence. We hear briefly the biblical story of Jesus raising Lazarus, and true faith requires more than good works; it demands a public and unwavering profession that Jesus is the Son of God. This faith should be visible even in ordinary moments, like praying before meals in public. The season of Lent is highlighted as a special time to renew this choice for God, affirming that only in Him do we find true fulfillment and salvation. Listen to this Meditation Media.

At the Last Supper Jesus opens his heart to the apostles and to us.  St. John shares Jesus' own description of the Father's love for us: it is the same love that he has for his only Son, Jesus.  If and when we truly believe this, it changes everything and serves as the foundation of our Christian life. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com
