Podcasts about christian devotion

What could be worth giving up everything you own? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explores Jesus' parable of the merchant who finds one pearl of great value and sells everything to buy it (Matthew 13:45–46). To grasp the weight of this illustration, Dr. Youssef highlights why pearls were considered the most precious commodity in Jesus' day: they were rare, dangerous to obtain, and priceless to possess. Then comes the deeper meaning: the pearl of great worth is the Lord Jesus Christ—the only Savior who suffered, bled, and died on the cross, then rose again so forgiveness and eternal life could be offered to all who believe. No achievement, possession, or security compares to Him. In Christ, you find what the world can never provide: peace of mind, true identity, lasting security, and rest for your soul. This devotional calls you to examine what you're valuing most—and to respond to Jesus not with partial devotion, but wholehearted surrender. Prayer: Father, thank You for Jesus Christ, the pearl of great price. May my life reflect Christ to this world. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

In these quiet early hours we join listeners across Brazil, Chile, Peru, Portugal, and Canada. Wherever you are listening in the night, we gather together in prayer, trusting the peace of Jesus to meet us in this moment. Psalm 91:2 (NIV) “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'” Psalm 23:2 (NIV) “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.” John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Lord Jesus, in these deep hours of the night when sleep sometimes escapes us and the mind continues to wander, we come to You as our refuge. Psalm 91 reminds us that You are our fortress, a place of safety when our thoughts are restless and our hearts feel unsettled. Wherever you are listening right now, pause for a moment and breathe slowly. Jesus is near. In the stillness of the night, His presence surrounds you with quiet strength. Jesús, trae tu paz a nuestros corazones esta noche. Calm every anxious thought and every worry that tries to rise in the darkness. Jesus Cristo, cobre nossas vidas com tua paz e proteção. Across languages and nations we come to the same refuge—Your presence. As Psalm 23 declares, You lead us beside quiet waters and restore our souls. Even now, in the early hours before the world awakens, Your Spirit brings calm to the mind and rest to the heart. Jesus, we place our trust in You. You are the fortress that never fails, the shepherd who watches through the night. As Psalm 46 reminds us, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Because of You we do not fear the darkness. Across these daily prayers we continue resting under the shelter of Psalm 91. Your protection surrounds our lives and Your peace fills our hearts. Tonight we surrender every concern and place our trust in You. Jesus, You are our refuge and our peace. Tonight we trust Your presence. Tonight we rest in Your care.

In this inaugural episode of the new series "Kingdom Now," Pastor Karl introduces an in-depth journey through the Gospel of Matthew. Titled after Jesus's prayer in Matthew 6, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," this series explores the unique perspective of Matthew's Gospel, emphasizing the kingdom of God in an upside-down way that challenges expectations. Pastor Karl sets the stage by providing background on the four Gospels, highlighting Matthew's distinct focus on Jesus as the royal Messiah from the line of David, written specifically for a Jewish audience. He delves into Matthew's identity as a former tax collector, illustrating how Jesus transformed his life, changing his identity and direction. Through Matthew's story, Pastor Karl introduces the discipleship process of "belong, become, give, and go," encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey. The episode focuses on Matthew 1:1-17, exploring Jesus's genealogy and its purposeful inclusion of unexpected figures, reinforcing the message that when God writes the story, nothing is a mistake.

In this powerful sermon, Guest Speaker Michael Rondon dives into John 5, exploring the story of Jesus healing a man paralyzed for 38 years at the Pool of Bethesda. Titled "Do You Want to Be Made Well?", the message challenges listeners to reflect on their own desire for spiritual and physical healing. Michael emphasizes Jesus' personal approach, meeting individuals in their brokenness, as seen in encounters with Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and the paralyzed man. He unpacks the significance of hope, perseverance, and trusting God's goodness, even when answers are "no" or "not yet." Drawing from the broader context of the Gospel of John, Michael encourages the congregation to find life in Jesus alone, live a legacy that points others to Him, and prepare for eternity. The sermon also highlights the power of God's sovereignty and the call to serve the "one" in front of us, inspiring believers to remain expectant and faithful in their walk with Christ.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Karl wraps up the study of the Book of Ruth, focusing on Chapter 4. He explores the profound themes of God's providence, redemption, and love woven throughout the narrative. Pastor Karl highlights how Boaz, as a kinsman-redeemer, mirrors Christ's sacrificial love for humanity, taking on Ruth's baggage without hesitation to redeem her. Through the lens of Ruth's story, we see a beautiful picture of Jesus pursuing the person, not possessions, and the transformative power of obedience to God's command. Pastor Karl emphasizes that our obedience, paired with God's providence, leads to convergence—working all things together for good.

What happens when we truly see God for who He is? In this message, we explore the powerful moment of Jesus' transfiguration in Matthew 17 and how it reveals two foundational truths about God's nature: His transcendence and His immanence. God's transcendence reminds us of His majesty and holiness, elevating our reverence for Him. At the same time, His immanence brings us close, showing His intimate involvement in our lives and elevating our relationship with Him. Together, these truths challenge us to stand in awe of God's greatness while living devoted to His personal and unfailing love. How should we respond? By surrendering to His eternal presence, living in awe of His bigness, and being deeply devoted to His love. This life-changing encounter teaches us that our view of God directly shapes our response to Him. Are you ready to see God more clearly and take the next step in your faith?

To be obedient to God's word can be a challenge for many of us at different times in our lives. Today we discuss the importance of obedience and why as a follower of Christ it is imperative that we try to be obedient to his calling on our lives. 

With the start of school just around the corner, academic endeavors are beginning to bubble to the forefront of our minds and schedules. This episode, originally released in April 2023, will inspire your family for this upcoming school year by showing how pursuing excellence in learning and education can and should deepen our (and our children's) faith and bolster our devotion to God. When did a dichotomy become assumed between academic excellence and Christian devotion? Over time, a mindset has developed that seems to tell us that these two traits can't coexist; that striving for one will compromise the other in our lives. The Veritas Dean of Math and Science, Rhonda Forbes, talks with our host Ty Fischer about why she sees these two worthwhile objectives - academic excellence and Christian devotion - in our lives as being complimentary to one another and even, in fact, informing each other. Parents should not feel like they have to choose between the two, or that by striving to cultivate one in their child's heart they will rob the other from flourishing. On the contrary, Rhonda will pull back the curtain to show you how, as a Christian, striving for academic excellence can and should deepen our wonder and love for God...and how a deep love for God can result in a desire for greater learning, knowledge of His ways and creation, and excellence in all we do. Rhonda Forbes, who was an engineer before embarking on her teaching career at Veritas years ago, teaches both upper school math and Great Books (Omnibus) courses deftly. She and her husband Scott have four grown children, all of whom graduated from Veritas Academy.
