Send us a textThe Law was given by God to the Israelites in the Old Testament to show them they needed a Savior. It did contain some things they were required to do in order to be distinct from other nations. But at the end, it was to lead them to the Messiah.Unfortunately, in today's modern church, the Law has been given a place of prominence. It is taught that one must keep the Law in order to be accepted by God. And many churches have added to the Law themselves.Listen carefully to learn the place of the Law in Christianity today.

What if the only way forward… was obedience? In this episode, Daron unpacks John 16 and challenges us to stop waiting for clarity when what God is asking for is obedience. The Christian life isn't hard—it's impossible without the Holy Spirit. Key Takeaways: • Jesus teaches you at the pace you can understand • The Holy Spirit won't lead you past your level of obedience • Stuck? It may be because you're not doing what God already said • Your future depends on your faithfulness in the present • Don't abandon your faith—abide and obey Quotes: “God will never teach you past your level of disobedience.” “The Holy Spirit is your coach, your comforter, your guide.” “Obedience is the bridge between revelation and transformation.” “The Christian life is not hard—it's impossible without the Holy Spirit.” “If you hear His voice today, do not harden your heart.”

THE MERCIFUL NATURE OF GOD. Sims critiques the tendency to reduce God to human standards and wisdom, which can lead to a distorted understanding of His character. By prioritizing political agendas or societal norms over God's word, believers risk alienating those who need to experience God's love. The podcast stresses that God is the creator of all and should not be confined to the limited views of mankind. This reductionism can lead to a lack of compassion and understanding towards those who are lost or struggling with sin.In this episode, Ashley Sims emphasizes the merciful nature of God, highlighting that He is not just a deity of judgment but also one of love and forgiveness. The discussion revolves around the misconception that God is only concerned with specific sins, such as homosexuality and abortion. Instead, Sims argues that God desires all of humanity to repent and return to Him, showcasing His mercy and grace. This perspective challenges the narrow view often presented in media and among certain Christian circles. What is going on!

Pastor Garwick delivers a powerful message on overcoming internal battles to fulfill divine purpose by examining the contrasting lives of Saul and David. The real comparison isn't between these two kings but between who we are now and who God has called us to be.• Character weaknesses and internal battles can sabotage our anointing and divine calling• The snake of personal ambition can grow into a dragon of destruction when left unchecked• New levels of anointing always reveal character flaws that must be addressed• Saul's ministry was paralyzed when he began seeking approval from people rather than confidence from God• Those who overcome themselves like David find restoration even after failure• The gap between our current state and God's divine purpose for us must be closed• Our confidence must come solely from the cross of Christ, not human validation• Divine calling should be our primary identity regardless of our profession or position• The apostolic church is being prepared to rise up in these last days for global harvestGet Pastor Garwick's new book "Overcoming Yourself" available now on Amazon – a powerful resource to help you rise above weaknesses, failures and character defects to fulfill God's purpose for your life.We love to hear from our listeners!

Ephesians 6:10-24 As Paul concludes his letter to the Ephesian church, he calls them to do one final thing: stand firm. After showing the beauty of the gospel and how we are to apply it into our lives, Paul calls the church to withstand the spiritual warfare in the strength of God, praying at all times and encouraging one another.

A Song and a Word: How to Live the Christian Life by Fr. Kris Schmidt

In this episode of Chatechesis, Father Martin talks again about Prayer in the Christian Life. He tells of how St. Augustine summarises three dimensions of Jesus prayer: He prays for us as our priest, He prays in us as our head and He is prayed to by us as our God. L'articolo Chatechesis – Fr Martin Shanahan –  the Jesus Prayer ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner' proviene da Radio Maria.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Reuben Slife about the challenges of Christian life within the realities of late modernity. Growing up in America's Deep South and beginning in the United Methodist Church tradition, Reuben planned to teach theatre. However, his path took him, via GK Chesterton and the plays of the late St John Paul II, into full communion with the Catholic Church and to life in Steubenville, Ohio, a small town in the American Rust Belt. Reuben finds himself living within an emerging community of Catholic families drawn to building a Christian life together. Reflecting on the dynamics within the town, he describes his experience, both as a Catholic and through his work as an editor of political theology. Reuben explores both the creativity and the tensions around forming Christian life in the midst of a modern Egypt, recognising its harsh categories of self, the state and the market. Drawing on ways of thinking gifted to us from outside the modern West, Reuben is devoted to bringing forward traditions that were vital before the birth of the modern.Reuben Slife is the editor of New Polity Press, in Steubenville, Ohio. New Polity publishes essays, books and podcasts and is a think tank for political theology, dedicated to cultivating the Catholic tradition and fostering a movement to resist the cultural and political trends of the liberal state. Reuben edited and oversaw the translation of Rocco Buttiglione's Modernity's Alternative, on Latin America's “theology of peoples” [teología del pueblo], and currently is working on America in the Mystery of Christ and the Church by David L.

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into the crucial Christian discipline of self-examination. Grounding their discussion in Scriptures like Psalm 139:23-24 and 2 Corinthians 13:5, they explore what it means to test and examine oneself in the faith. They emphasize that self-examination is not about undermining assurance but rather about deepening a believer's trust in Christ while fostering spiritual growth and humility. The conversation highlights the necessity of prayer as the starting point for self-examination. Jesse and Tony remind listeners that asking God to search and reveal the state of one's heart is an act of worship and dependence. They also discuss the difference between examining oneself scholastically (assessing knowledge of the faith) and testing oneself by comparing one's life against the standard of Christ. Both are vital to a vibrant and gospel-centered Christian life. Listeners are encouraged to embrace self-examination as a regular and joyful practice that leads to assurance and maturity in Christ. Far from being an exercise in despair, self-examination is presented as a means to greater dependence on the finished work of Christ and a deeper appreciation of the Holy Spirit's role in illuminating sin and pointing believers to their Savior. Key Points: The Biblical Call to Self-Examination The discussion begins with an exploration of Psalm 139 and 2 Corinthians 13:5, where Scripture commands believers to examine their hearts and test their faith. This practice is necessary for spiritual growth and assurance in Christ. Self-Examination as a Spiritual Discipline Jesse and Tony underscore the importance of self-examination as a regular practice, not just for addressing sin but also for recognizing God's work in one's life. They emphasize starting this process with prayer, asking God to reveal both sin and righteousness. The Role of the Holy Spirit in Self-Examination The Holy Spirit plays a vital role in guiding believers through the process of self-examination. He convicts of sin, assures of righteousness, and leads believers to deeper dependence on Christ. Balancing Conviction and Assurance The hosts caution against the danger of turning self-examination into morbid introspection. Instead, they encourage listeners to see it as a hopeful practice that strengthens faith and magnifies Christ's finished work. Questions for Reflection: How often do you take time to examine your heart and motives before God? What role does prayer play in your self-examination process? Are there areas in your life where you see Christ working but haven't taken time to reflect on and thank Him for? How can you balance conviction of sin with assurance in Christ during self-reflection? What Scriptures encourage you to test and examine your faith?

God is more than human ideas and standards. In the episode titled 'God Is More,' host Ashley Sims emphasizes the importance of recognizing God's love as a central theme in Christianity. She begins by addressing the skepticism surrounding Christian platforms and the content shared within them. Sims expresses concern over the focus on controversial topics that may alienate potential followers of Christ, suggesting that Christians should instead highlight God's love and compassion. The podcast aims to inspire listeners to embody the love of God and to encourage others to seek Him. Sims critiques the portrayal of God as a judgmental figure, arguing that such depictions can deter people from embracing Christianity. She highlights that God loves all of His creation, not just those who identify as Christians. By focusing on God's compassion and mercy, Christians can better represent Him to the world. Sims stresses that God is not petty or vengeful; rather, He desires a relationship with everyone, emphasizing that His love is the foundation of the Christian faith. What is going on!

In the first sermon in our summer series John MacArthur reminds us of the problem of discontentment, showing how anxiety and comparison thrive when our trust shifts from God's promises to worldly desires. Drawing from Philippians 4, we learn how to defeat discontentment by grounding our peace in God's promises, not our situation.For more information on Grace Community Church or to hear more messages from John MacArthur, visit https://gracechurch.org

Dr. Anderson, former emergency room physician turned evangelist, shares the biblical formula for explosive revival through the practice of everyday witnessing and evangelism. • Every Spirit-filled believer is empowered to be an effective witness regardless of personality type or perceived inadequacies• The apostolic model for church growth follows Paul's simple formula: plant, water, and God gives the increase• Sharing the gospel with people who have never heard it is the critical first step to seeing miracles and conversions• Jesus Tent Revival regularly sees hundreds baptized in a weekend by focusing on massive outreach efforts• You don't need extraordinary abilities to be an evangelist—you just need to take Jesus to the next person• The more people you invite to experience God, the more supernatural results you'll see• Even quiet, imperfect believers can be used powerfully when they simply share their testimony• The Day of Pentecost revival exploded when believers "noised abroad" what God was doingJoin the Jesus Tent Revival movement and support their ministry by visiting jesustentrevival.com.

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK | The Practice of Prayer – Week 1

Worship is not just singing on Sundays but a lifestyle that aligns our hearts with God's rule and reign. Psalm 96 teaches that true worship is a response to the hope we have in Christ, expressed with confidence in God's greatness. It involves offering repentance, turning from worthless idols to faith in Jesus, and declaring our allegiance to God as King. When we truly worship, we join all creation in expectantly awaiting Christ's return, knowing His judgment brings rejoicing for believers because of His faithfulness to His finished work on the cross.

Pastor Lawson concludes our series "Power in Weakness" with a sermon from 2 Corinthians 13:13.

Part 5 of "James: Gospel Wisdom for the Christian Life"

Bible Text: James 2:12 | Preacher: Andy Sochor | Series: N/A | In our text, James talked about being “judged by the law of liberty.” This is not liberty to do as we please, it is the freedom from sin and any obligation to follow any law over Christ's. Christ still has authority over us. God will judge us based upon how we have spoken and acted according to His law. What are we to do? In this lesson, we will focus on what James described in his letter.

This week Jon takes a look at the idea of what it means to have the faith of a child, talks about the fact there are no outcasts when it comes to Jesus, and that Christ followers can be guilty of hindering others from seeing Jesus clearly.  Hope this challenges you and encourages you as well.   As always if you wish to discuss this topic further, or discuss having Jon speak at one of your events, reach out at jon@christianoutdoors.org

Send us a textAre Christians still under the Law of Moses? Should followers of Jesus today keep Torah commandments like the Sabbath, dietary restrictions, or temple sacrifices? In this episode, we take a clear and careful look at what the Bible teaches about the Mosaic Law, its purpose, and its fulfillment in Christ. We'll explore how the Old Covenant law reveals God's character, why it was given to Israel, and how the New Covenant changes everything for believers today.Whether you've wrestled with Torah-observant teachings or are simply curious about how law and grace fit together, this study in biblical theology will give you a solid foundation grounded in Scripture.We'll answer:What does “the law” mean in the Bible?Was the law meant for everyone?Do Christians need to obey Old Testament commands?How does Jesus fulfill the Law?What role does grace play in the life of a Christian?Affiliate Note: I first studied biblical Hebrew remotely through the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies.

What does it take to reach 8 billion people with the gospel message? Pastor Patterson delivers a powerful challenge that will transform how you view your local church's global responsibility.Drawing from his experience leading a young church plant to global impact, Pastor Patterson shares how a congregation of just 25 members sponsored an international crusade that saw 102 people receive the Holy Ghost—the largest single outpouring that nation had ever experienced. His testimony proves that church size doesn't limit kingdom impact.The Great Commission isn't optional—it's a divine mandate requiring every church to participate in harvest at four levels: local, regional, national, and global. Pastor Patterson unpacks Acts 1:8 to show how Jesus intended believers to engage simultaneously at each level, challenging listeners with a sobering question: What will it take for today's church to move beyond comfortable boundaries into worldwide harvest fields?God measures churches not by seating capacity but by sending capacity. This perspective shift invites leaders to evaluate ministry effectiveness through global impact rather than just local metrics. Even if you can't physically go on international missions, you can participate through prayer and financial support—both powerful ways to extend your reach beyond city limits.The session culminates with powerful insights from Pastor Patterson's recent experience on the Ethiopia crusade team, where he witnessed the extraordinary impact of unity and collaborative ministry. When ego and personal recognition are set aside for kingdom advancement, supernatural doors open and exponential blessings flow.Ready to expand your vision and participate in global harvest?

What makes a life truly Christian? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to Romans 8:5–9 to show that true Christianity is a Spirit-wrought transformation rooted in Jesus's finished work.
