Podcasts about church family

Are you overwhelmed by the constant "noise" of life? 

Welcome to Food for Your Soul – a podcast for those who love in-depth Bible study and expository preaching. In this episode, we explore Mark 10:28-31 and Jesus' radical teaching on the cost of discipleship and the rewards that come with following Him. What does it really mean to "leave everything" to follow Jesus? And what exactly does He promise in return? Jesus doesn't sugarcoat the cost of discipleship, but He offers a 100-fold reward—an eternal family, spiritual blessings, and more. In this episode, you'll discover: The Cost of Discipleship: What must you forsake to follow Christ? The Profit of Discipleship: The unimaginable rewards Jesus promises. The Church Family: the Body of Christ If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating. This helps others find the podcast. My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word. Since childhood, I've been drawn to the beauty and power of expository preaching—opening Scripture verse by verse and applying it to real life. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute, I spent the next 27 years serving as a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter, and host of the Food For Your Soul radio broadcast. Along the way, I also earned a Master of Sacred Literature and a Doctor of Religious Studies. For more content from D. Richard Ferguson, visit TreasuringGod.com.

Revelation 7:1-17 “Jesus Is Greater Than Our Domesticated, Status Quo, ‘Safe' Vision for Our Church Family”Preacher: Guest: Scotty SmithSunday MorningDate: 1st March 2026Passage: Revelation 7:1-17

In this episode of the podcast from the church, Pastor Karl concludes the study of Matthew chapter 9, highlighting Jesus' revelation of His power through a series of remarkable miracles. He explains Matthew's Jewish perspective, portraying Jesus as the promised Messiah and Anointed One, contrasting this with other Gospel accounts. He recaps the structure of Matthew, noting how chapters 8–9 demonstrate Jesus' authority over disease, death, and demonic forces through ten miracles, while also showing the kinds of people who desperately approach Him.The core message centers on true faith: it arises not merely from believing Jesus can help, but from admitting that nothing else can. Pastor Karl unpacks the encounters in Matthew 9:18–34—the synagogue ruler pleading for his deceased daughter, the woman with a 12-year hemorrhage who touches Jesus' garment in faith (possibly connecting to Malachi's prophecy of healing in His "wings" or "corners"), the two blind men calling Him "Son of David" and trusting in His mercy alone, and the deliverance of a mute, demon-possessed man whose condition defied traditional Jewish exorcism methods. Through these stories, he emphasizes that desperate faith, even if imperfect or "weak," directed toward the right Savior—Jesus—releases God's power. Faith often requires a public "touchpoint" of expression, removing unbelieving voices that sound logical but hinder God's work, and ultimately trusting in God's mercy rather than demanding specific outcomes.Pastor Karl closes by applying the passage to the church's present moment, noting the explosive community growth in their area—with thousands of new residents and students arriving soon—as evidence that "the fields are ripe for harvest." Jesus' compassion on the harassed and helpless crowds compels believers to pray for workers and step into the harvest themselves, making this not just a message about miracles but about the church's responsibility to reach those in need with the gospel of the kingdom.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this message from Gospel People, Paul opens his heart to the Corinthian church and shows us how deeply our relationships with others are shaped by our relationship with God. From integrity and sincerity to love and pastoral care, Paul's words remind us that gospel-centered living transforms how we speak, how we lead, and how we love. When our consciences are anchored in God's grace, our relationships can be marked by honesty, humility, and sacrificial care—even when things are hard.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Welcome to our Reveal podcast,When we talk about a church family, we're not just talking about a place to attend on Sundays we're talking about a God-designed community that shapes us for every part of life. Biblically, the church is called the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12), meaning we grow stronger together than we ever could alone.A church family equips us through spiritual growth. As we learn God's Word together, we're taught, encouraged, and corrected in love so we can mature in our faith (Ephesians 4:11–13). This foundation helps us make wise decisions, endure hardships, and live with purpose.It also equips us through relationships and accountability. Scripture reminds us that “iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17). In a church family, we find people who pray with us, walk with us through life's challenges, and lovingly help us stay aligned with God's will.To support this ministry and help us continue our God-given mission, click here:Subscribe to our channel for the latest sermons:https://www.youtube.com/@revealvineyardLearn more about Vineyard Church Reveal Campus:https://www.revealvineyard.com/Follow us on social media!Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/vineyardrevealcampus Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RevealVineyard

Too many Christians today think that they can follow Jesus without being involved in the Church Body with other believers. No matter how we have been hurt by our own Christian brothers and sisters, we must commune with one another in fellowship, living peaceably and living to build each other up.

This podcast episode captures the inaugural service in a new church building, where Samuel Goulet expresses deep gratitude for the community's support and God's faithfulness. Drawing from the biblical stories of David and Solomon, the message emphasizes the importance of knowing God intimately and serving Him wholeheartedly, not just intellectually or emotionally. The episode encourages listeners to consecrate their lives and worship spaces to God, to walk in humility, and to embrace forgiveness and wholeness through Jesus. It concludes with a communal act of taking communion, inviting everyone to experience redemption and restoration as a church family.

In 2024, Cindy's book about her and Mark's experiences living a full-time Van life was published by One Stone Biblical Resources. It is entitled One Hundred Churches: A Three-Year Journey to Witness the Joy of Authentic Christianity. The book is part travel journal, part spiritual roadmap, part autobiography, part devotional, and part vanlife guide.Come along for the ride as Cindy shares the encouraging and informative stories from her book that some of her readers are calling "addictive".

Pastor Sherrie Lorbeck UNITY Lutheran Church Brookfield, WI

This message shares major updates at Eastmont. Construction on the new building officially starts January 5 and is expected to finish around summer 2027. New leadership training, a counseling role, and a new believer's class are launching soon. Because the church is growing, services will move to five Sunday gatherings starting in January. Pastor Blaine encourages everyone to be flexible and make room for others, reminding the church to stay faithful, take the mission seriously, and help people come to know Christ.

Today's scripture reference is Philippians 1:1-11.

Hey family--and yes, I mean family. There's no such thing as the Lone Christian. Part of being a follower of Christ is joining with others in worshiping, hearing the word of God, praying, confessing, and more. We share joyful times together, and sometimes we mourn together. Scripture tells us to never stop meeting together. So join us this Sunday at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Our guest speaker will be Pastor John Fils-Aime. Kids' Church begins at 10 a.m. also, for children ages 5-12. --Edwin ANNOUNCEMENTS MARATHON EVE SERVICE, Saturday, Nov. 1, 6 p.m. (doors open at 5:30). Because the New York City Marathon takes place on Sunday, Nov. 2, making it so difficult to attend church, our service will be held the night before. Join us for a special evening!

This week we conclude our intensive study of the New Testament book of Colossians by focusing on Paul's closing words. At first glance, our passage just appears to be a litany of personal notes directed at different individuals. But as we dig into it, we'll see wonderful glimpses of what spiritual community is supposed to be -- and why we need it so much. This Sunday we'll also celebrate our 34th Anniversary with our All-Church Picnic that takes place right after worship services at 12:30 pm. Join us for the celebration!

Family means different things to different people, but what if it was designed for more than we think? In this kickoff to Family of Families discover why family is still the foundation for belonging, growth, and hope. Don't miss this message... it might change the way you see family.

Pastor Josh Cardwell

Discover the power of family—both natural and spiritual. In this message, we explore God's design for believers to belong, grow, and thrive within a church community. Learn how to stay connected, keep short accounts, show up consistently, and embrace your place in God's family.

Join Bart, Tim, and Josh as they dig deeper into a few topics from this past church family meeting!

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.
