Podcasts about Children of God

As Christ followers, we KNOW that it is fundamental that our Identity has to be placed in Jesus Christ, but is it…. really?  What does that fully mean & why is rightfully placing our identity in Jesus Christ, just so vital?These are all the things we unpack in today's episode! So whether you've struggled with your worth, your past, have held onto shame or even failure, or tend to place your identity in relationships, your career, your finances or even yourself, there is something here for you today. My hope is that God would open our eyes to where were truly at with all of this. And most importantly, we'd get a greater understanding of what God & His word says about who we are and not the world and boldly walk in it.Songs to listen to on IdentityChild of GodWho You Say I AmYou Say For More InfoWebsiteInstagram

Speaking of Covenants (as we do this week), to get really in depth learning about the covenant, join Steven Harper and myself on a cruise where we discuss the New and Everlasting Covenant in a series of ten lectures/discussions/workshops. This will be fantastic! Plus we dock at Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya, and more! Learn more at https://restorationtravels.com/nec-cruise/. In this episode Mike Goodman and Kerry discuss Enoch's fears about accepting his calling, and how God worked with those fears, and how Enoch became a mighty servant as a result. Then Kerry discusses one of his favorite portions of scripture as he delves into God's teachings to Adam about the Fall, death, rebirth, Christ and how we can truly become His children in a different way than how we are all His children. We are grateful for our executive producers, P. Franzen, J. Parke, D. Watson, B. Van Blerkom, the Dawsons, M. Cannon, M. Rosema, B. Fisher, J. Beardall, D. Anderson, and H. Umphlett, and for all our generous and loyal donors. We are also very grateful for all our Patreon members. We are so thankful for Beehive Broadcast for producing the podcast and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

Children of God - Daniel Terpin by

antiochindy.com

The Word made flesh. On this second Sunday of Christmastide, Rev. Robert Brown shared from the prologue to John's Gospel, one of the most magisterial and theologically rich passages in all the New Testament. These carefully crafted words are often the first that new Christians read in the Bible. John uses "simple," familiar words-- words that new Christians can be nourished by. Yet they are words that even many lifetimes of study and meditation could not possibly plumb the depths of. Woven into its tapestry are some of the most intricate designs and vibrant colors one could possibly imagine: teaching about the very being of the triune God; creation and new creation; the Light of the world shining in the darkness;  the Gospel's purpose; the Incarnation of the divine Word; the Word made flesh, God dwelling with his people, the sacred tabernacle--the nexus between heaven and earth--embodied in Jesus, the God-man. This sermon is a quick guided tour beneath the surface of some of those familiar words, phrases, and concepts in an attempt to whet our appetites for a rich feast of meditative contemplation and--by the power of the Spirit--consideration of the written incarnate Word in our own lives. Note: The artwork associated  with this podcast (viewable on the Epiclesis website but not through Apple iTunes) is titled "The Word Made Flesh" by Donald Jackson.

God's family is the strong place to do important work: to love our earthly family with his love, grace, and truth and to participate in God's work of healing our earthly family.

What does it mean to be children of God?  What has Christ done and accomplished for us?  What promise do we have as Children of God?  How does God’s abundant love for us change our behaviors and practices?

Christmas is more than baby Jesus in the manger. Pastor Erik today discusses what Christmas means in the first chapter of the Gospel of John and how become children of God by His grace. Readings from this service:Galatians 3: 23-29Psalm 98: 1-5John 1: 1-11Thanks for listening!

1 John 3:1-3

Becoming children of God.Series: Lectionary Preacher: Rev. Hilary Van WagenenDate: 21st December 2025Passage: John 1:1-18

A sermon by Kelly Brady from 1 John 1:9-13

This message was given by Pastor DJ Ritchey on Sunday, September 21, 2025 at Memorial Heights Baptist Church.

Christmas can often feel like an endless list of to-dos: Buying presents for your loved ones, attending school shows for your kids, baking for those holiday parties, and on it goes. Christmas was never meant to be a burdensome time or a season filled with consumption. Rather, it's a period where we should pause, thank God, and reflect on the true meaning of this special day. We invite you to listen in as we learn what this truth is and what it means for our Christmas celebrations today.

Key Points:Many Missed the Greatest Gift – Jesus, the true light, came into the world but was not recognized or received by many.Knowing vs. Receiving Jesus – It's not enough to know facts about Jesus; we must personally receive Him into our lives.Some Received the Gift by Grace – Those who believe in Jesus are spiritually reborn and become children of God by grace, not by works or heritage.Believers Are Called to Reveal the Gift – Like John the Baptist, we are sent to bear witness and share Christ's light with others.Live Wisely and Shine Where You Are – Life is short, and we are called to intentionally reflect Jesus in our daily actions, especially during Christmas.Chapter Timecodes & Links:Many Missed the Greatest Gift – 0:00–3:03Knowing vs. Receiving Jesus – 7:14–8:11Some Received the Gift by Grace – 9:27–11:17Believers Are Called to Reveal the Gift – 13:17–15:36Live Wisely and Shine Where You Are – 20:23–23:26Key Scripture:John 1:6–8 – John the Baptist as a witness to the lightJohn 1:9–11 – Jesus, the true light, rejected by manyJohn 1:12–13 – Becoming children of God by faithIsaiah 53 – The unexpected MessiahEphesians 2:8–9 – Salvation by grace through faithJohn 20:31 – Purpose of John's GospelMatthew 5:14–16 – Believers as the light of the worldPsalm 90:12 – Numbering our days to gain wisdom ------------------------------------------We're so glad you're here!

Episode 2.64This final episode brings the whole adoption series together by reviewing the Father's plan, the Son's costly redemption, and the Spirit's sealing work—then turning the spotlight onto what Scripture says adoption does in believers. Drawing from Ephesians 1 and Romans 8, the lesson shows that adoption is not only a change of legal status but a lifelong transformation into the likeness of the One who adopted us.The hosts walk through the blessings Paul lists in Ephesians 1—election, redemption, forgiveness, sealing, inheritance—and show how each of these is an adoption benefit, rooted in God's eternal love. Then Romans 8 unfolds the lived reality: sons and daughters led by the Spirit, freed from fear, empowered to fight sin, assured of belonging, and destined for glory. Adoption gives believers a new name, a new family, a new identity, and a new future.The episode emphasizes that God's children aren't just declared righteous—they are reshaped, conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29). Adoption always produces resemblance. The Father who chose us before the foundation of the world is the same Father who will finish the work He began, transforming His children so that the family likeness becomes unmistakable.Big truth: Adoption is grace past, grace present, and glory future. God claims His children, forms them, keeps them, and brings them home.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/96oXLc6sX_wMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Episode 2.62Week 4 turns to the Holy Spirit and shows how He makes our adoption real, experiential, and secure. Building on the Father's eternal plan (Ephesians 1) and the Son's costly redemption (Galatians 4), Michael and Zach walk through Romans 8:14–17 to show that believers are not spiritual orphans or fearful slaves, but Spirit-led sons and daughters. The Spirit empowers the fight against sin, replaces fear with the “Spirit of adoption,” and bears witness that we truly belong to God—teaching us to cry “Abba, Father” with both tenderness and desperation, just as Jesus did in Gethsemane. Tied to November's Pure Religion Sunday (James 1:27), the episode connects doctrine to practice: real religion moves toward the vulnerable, because God moved toward us. The hosts also unpack what it means to be heirs with Christ—a status that includes both suffering and future glory—and return to the theme of names and identity: adoption gives us a new family, a new name, and a new way to live that honors the God whose name we bear.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/-OCGORXSTmYMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

1 John 3:1-18 | Children Of God_11.30.25 by Calvary Chapel Lynchburg

Lights in the World 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor […]

MI: Those who are children of God display this by the way they live. DQ: How then do children of God live? 1. Children of God hope in Christ (2:28-3:3) 2. Children of God forsake sin (3:4-10) Four truths about the Spirit dwelling in those who are Children of God… 1. God causes his people to be born again by the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit. 2. God causes his people to be transformed by the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. 3. God causes his people to be assured by the testifying work of the Holy Spirit. 4. God causes his people to be secured by the guaranteeing work of the Holy Spirit. Responses: 1. Repent and Believe that Jesus is the Christ 2. Rejoice in the Completed Work of Christ 3. Rest in the Gospel

Fr. Mike discusses the ministry of the apostles and encourages us to allow God to work in our lives in the same way. He also reminds us that through Baptism, we are set free from our fallen human nature and given the freedom to live according to the spirit. Today's readings are from Acts 5, Romans 8, and Proverbs 27:7-9. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Episode 2.58Adoption is not sentimental — it's sacrificial.In this week's episode, Zach and Michael turn from the Father's loving plan to the Son's redeeming work, showing that our adoption came at a staggering cost: the blood of Christ.Drawing from Galatians 4:1–7, they trace the journey from slavery to sonship. Humanity once stood as heirs-in-waiting, bound under the law. But “in the fullness of time,” God sent His Son — born of woman, born under the law — to redeem us so that we might receive adoption as sons. The Son bore the curse we deserved (Gal. 3:13), freeing us to share in His own inheritance.Paul's phrase “adoption as sons” carries Roman legal weight: all believers — male and female — share in the same full rights before the Father because they are united to Christ, the true Son.Our adoption was not cheap. It required the cross.Romans 5 reminds us: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God didn't adopt the neutral — He adopted the hostile. Every believer's redemption is a declaration of victory in a cosmic war.Applications:– Adoption is Warfare — every redeemed life is proof that Christ has conquered.– Adoption is Costly — our family status required the Son's death.– Adoption Invites Worship — Jesus was forsaken so we could be welcomed.– Adoption Shapes Gratitude — understanding the cost leads to humility and joy.Big Idea:Spiritual adoption is possible only because the Son paid the full price of redemption, securing our right to call His Father our Father.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/cWkzqx5GK6UMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Fr. Mike explains the many parables we hear today in Matthew, including the return of the unclean spirit, and the danger of ornate souls. He emphasizes that when God sweeps the sin out of our souls, we must replace it with virtue, otherwise our souls remain empty without a relationship with God. Today's readings are Matthew 11-13 and Proverbs 19:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike focuses on the concept of being rich in love instead of rich in wealth today, as we read about the heart of a mother and father in our verse from Proverbs. He also emphasizes the presence of sacrificial love in the vocation of marriage and family through God's decision to keep Jeremiah single, saving him from more suffering. Today's readings are Jeremiah 16-17, Ezekiel 45-46, and Proverbs 15:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
