Podcasts about church family

[audio mp3="https://www.crossbridgeofocean.org/wp-content/uploads/sermons/2025/07/2025_07_13.mp3"][/audio] In the Christian church, there appears to be a profound misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it uses the words "joy," "rejoice," "prayer," and "thanksgiving." A biblical understanding of the meanings of these words will lead to a more informed biblical worldview and a more effective approach to life, with all its challenges. In last week's passage, we discussed the church family and our relationships with one another. In this week's passage, Paul gives us vital instructions on our relationship with God as a church family.

As life pulls us in a million different directions, and loads us up with stressors, it's so easy to lose our moorings This Sunday, we'll explore a passage of scripture that tells us how we can stay centered and grounded. This is the third installment in our inductive study of the New Testament book of Colossians.

[audio mp3="https://www.crossbridgeofocean.org/wp-content/uploads/sermons/2025/07/2025_07_06.mp3"][/audio] God instituted the family system starting with Adam and Eve. The Scriptures reinforce that family unity is essential to culture, our country, and the church. When families are emotionally and spiritually well, then our families, neighborhoods, churches, and country are all stronger. We can all agree that unconfessed sin can make families very dysfunctional because the real problems are often never identified, confessed, repented of, and resolved. In this passage, Paul offers essential practical guidance for church families to maintain emotional and spiritual well-being.

In this conversation, Jonny and Pastor Jonathan Douglas explore the themes of leadership as presented in Numbers 27 of the Bible. They discuss the transition from Moses to Joshua, the importance of strong and courageous leadership, and the role of leaders in guiding their communities and families. The conversation emphasizes the need for trust in leaders and the grace of God in appointing them, while also highlighting the broader implications of leadership beyond the church context.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Context of Numbers 27 07:06 Leadership Lessons from Balaam and Moses 15:47 Transition to Joshua: The New Leader 24:08 The Role of Leaders in Discipleship 31:31 Being Strong and Courageous in Leadership 39:22 Trusting God in Leadership Roles 49:57 Leadership Beyond the Church: Family and Community 54:04 Conclusion and Encouragement for Leaders

Preached At LCC Goshen

1 Thessalonians 5

Text: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

In this heartfelt and insightful sermon from Pastor Karl, we explore the biblical concept of the church as a family, drawing from 1 Timothy Chapter 5. Pastor Karl emphasizes that the church thrives on relationships, not rules, and celebrates the community's role in honoring milestones like graduations and new births. He highlights the importance of mentorship, showcasing how older generations mentor the younger ones in faith and character. Delving into 1 Timothy, Pastor Karl unpacks Paul's guidance to Timothy, a young leader in the challenging city of Ephesus, on how to lead the church family with honor and wisdom. Key themes include guarding the gospel, maintaining order, prioritizing character in leadership, and training diligently in faith. Pastor Karl addresses practical church responsibilities, such as caring for "true widows" with compassion and criteria, ensuring family members take primary responsibility for their kin. He also tackles the sensitive topic of honoring church leaders, advocating for fair compensation that balances care and accountability. Finally, Pastor Karl connects the concept of servitude to modern employer-employee relationships, urging Christians to work diligently for both earthly and heavenly masters, not out of duty, but out of love for Christ, who calls us friends.

A jerk is someone who thinks they have the answer to all the problems and tries to quickly fix things so they can move on. What we need to be, as the Body of Christ, is a Church family who weeps together and rejoices together. The only way we can do this is if we stop trying to fix everything and simply sit and listen, loving well and patiently letting someone process however long it takes.

A Church family in one accord in honor of our dear brother Josh Jones.

A celebration of all the Nations which make up our Church Family. Romans 15:5-7, an encouragement to practice loving kindness …

Jesus calls us, his followers, to come together, live together, and serve together in church community. In one of his most famous prayers shortly before his crucifixion, Jesus prayed that we who follow him down through the ages would live, work, and serve together in unity "as one." The early Christians did that with amazing success. This Sunday we'll study a passage of Scripture that gives us insight into how they did it -- and how we today can apply those lessons to build a diverse, safe, and inclusive church community together.

We pick up where we left off in Matthew, and Jesusin the context of teaching us to be like children, and how God cares for his childrenhe addresses what happens when children in God's family sin against one another. How should that be handled? We dive into the famous "church discipline" passage, which really could be deemed addressing the issue of church family love, when sin is present. (Due to technical difficulties, the first handful of minutes of the message were cut off)

Christians aren't consumers, we are contributors. In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson describes how we can move from "me" faith to "we" faith.1. We've turned church into a burrito bar, not a potluck.Custom culture has crept into the church."I need to get fed" = consumer mindset.But spiritual fullness doesn't come from endless intake.2. We've reversed the flow of Christian life.Church isn't just where we receive.Paul rebukes the Corinthian church for selfish worship (1 Cor. 11:20–22).Modern faith: inhale only, never exhale.When your entire spiritual life is built around what you receive—what you get out of a sermon, what you feel during worship, what you need to make it through the week, you will eventually feel empty. Not because God failed to show up...but because you never poured out what He already gave you.If you never pour out, you eventually suffocate.3. Grow in private. Give in public.Hebrews 10:24–25 – we gather to encourage and spur one another on.You grow in the quiet place. You give in the gathering place.The church is a place of participation, not passive inspiration.Maturity = contribution.4. Bring something. Leave nourished.Acts 4:32, 34–35 – radical generosity led by the Spirit.This is the miracle of Christian community: Everyone brings something, and everyone leaves nourished. No one's left out. No one's forgotten. God meets us as we meet each other.This isn't communism—it's Christlikeness.Give your time, joy, story, smile.Life rhythm: Receive. Release. Repeat.5. How do we live this out?1. Treat church like a dinner table, not a diner.1 Cor. 14:26 – Everyone brings something.The Church is meant to be a table where everyone brings something. Not a drive-through line. Your presence, your prayers,  and your service matters.2. Be someone's breakthrough.James 5:16 – Your prayers may unlock healing for someone else. So many times we find ourselves listening to God for ourselves, we never stop to ask God how we could encourage someone else.Church is not just where we get filled—it's where we pour ourselves out. Mature disciples don't just ask, "What's in it for me?" They ask, "What can I give away?"Question: Are you a contributor or a consumer?

Conflict within the church is inevitable. What's important is that we gain the skills we need to love each other through the conflict we are experiencing and seek to understand those we call our Church Family. Difficult people aren't hard to find, compassionate people are. If that's the case, it's crucial that every Christian in a church context works to build resilient compassion through the art of crucial conversations. For more information regarding The Clearing Church, visit our website by clicking hereFollow us on Instagram today by clicking hereWatch the message on our YouTube channel here

Is life wearing you out? Are you feeling dry and thirsty? Life can be brutal. So how do we replenish ourselves and find strength for the journey. The answer the Bible gives is worship. From the beginning of time, worship has been at the heart of living a life of faith. Every generation of believers, in every culture, have included worship songs as a central element of their weekly gathering. Why? What are we missing? What is worship? Why do we need it? And how do we do it?

When praying for church family, Christians should be purposeful by praying for things that really matter to God: being in fellowship, loving one another, and being holy.

In Get in the Game, Pastor Travis of Impact Church delivers a rallying cry that ignites hope and purpose. Through vivid stories of devastation and redemption—from standing amid the ashes of wildfire-stricken communities to witnessing the life-changing power of serving others—he paints a cinematic picture of what it means to step off the sidelines and into the action of God's work. Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 43:2 and the story of the Good Samaritan, Pastor Travis calls us to develop a heart that aches for the broken and to become the hands and feet of Jesus in a world desperately in need of healing. This is more than a sermon; it's an invitation to embrace a life of service, to be the answer to someone's prayers, and to witness the miraculous as we live out our faith. With passion and purpose, Get in the Game dares you to dream bigger, serve boldly, and experience the thrill of making an eternal impact.

Like a team, Christians should be inspired by the faithfulness of their church family, knowing that God can use one person to motivate another.

Pastor Matt continues the "Pray For" series with a powerful message on praying for our church family. Drawing from Ephesians 6:18, he outlines four essential ways we can pray: for our church to pray more consistently, love one another more closely, serve our city more compassionately, and love God more completely. Whether you're new to faith or looking to deepen your prayer life, this message provides clear guidance on connecting with God and growing closer as a church family in 2025. Join us as we explore how prayer can transform our relationships and strengthen our community.

God didn't put you on earth to live a self-centered life. Join Pastor Rick as he explains why being part of a church family helps you focus and center your life around God so that you can fulfill his purpose for you.
