Podcasts about church jesus

There are only two occasions in the Gospels in which Jesus talks about the church. Here is the first of those two occasions.

Cada dia tenenos que activar nuestra fe en Jesus. Tal como hizo el centurion (Lucas 7:1-10), la mujer cananea (Mateos 15:21-28), y Los cuatro amigos que trajeron al paralitico a Jesus (Marcos 2:1-12). Busquemos al senor y estemos dispuestos a traer a otros a el. Pongamos nuestra fe en El en toda situacion.

Welcome to the final week of our series, The Church Jesus Is Building. In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds us that the church is not simply a group of people who gather together—it is an army being equipped for a spiritual battle. The armour of God isn't just about what we put on as individuals; it is about becoming a people who are prepared, equipped, and ready to stand firm together. As we look at the roles of children, parents, bosses, employees, and every member of the church, we see that God is building His army through the everyday places He has called us. Each of us has a role to play in preparing, strengthening, and building up the people around us. The church Jesus is building is an army that knows how to stand, how to fight, and how to live faithfully in the middle of the battle.

Welcome to Week 5 of our series, The Church Jesus Is Building. In Ephesians 5, Paul shows us that the church Jesus is building is meant to reflect Christ. Because we are God's beloved children, we are called to imitate Him—not just in what we believe, but in the way we live, love, speak, and walk through the world. Our lives should point people toward Jesus and give them a picture of what He is like. As we look at what it means to imitate God, walk in love, and live as people of light, we're challenged to ask: Does my life look like Jesus? The church Jesus is building isn't just known by what happens when we gather—it's revealed by how we live when we leave.

Church is more than a meeting you attend. In Acts 2, the first believers devoted themselves to shared practices that actually formed them into a new kind of people. Mark and Dave unpack how Scripture, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer become the engine that shapes identity and produces generosity, worship, spiritual power, and multiplication. If you want disciples who actually live differently, not just attend faithfully, this episode gets practical about what has to change.

Let's talk.

Welcome to Week 4 of our series, The Church Jesus Is Building. In Ephesians 4, Paul begins to show us what it looks like to live out the new identity we have in Christ. We have been called by God, and that calling changes the way we live. Following Jesus isn't simply about knowing who we are in Christ—it is about becoming more like Him. As the Church Jesus is building, we are continually being transformed. God is shaping our character, our relationships, our words, and the way we live so that our lives increasingly reflect Jesus. We aren't meant to stay the same; we are called to walk in a way that is worthy of the calling we have received. Join us as we continue through Ephesians and discover what it means to live out our calling and allow Jesus to transform us from the inside out.

In this message, we are invited to remember how far we once stood from God—cut off from His people, His promises, and any real hope—so that we can more deeply rejoice that Jesus has brought us near by His own blood and made Himself our peace. Through the cross He tore down the walls that divided us from God and from one another, creating one new family in Himself. Now we are no longer outsiders but fellow citizens of His Kingdom, brothers and sisters in His household, and living stones being built together into the place where God dwells. The call is simple: come to Christ if you are still far off, belong to His people if you have been trying to live the Christian life alone, and let Him keep tearing down any walls of pride or resentment that remain.

Guided Question Have you lost sight of Jesus' vision for your life because of busyness, comfort, fear, or distractions—and what would it look like to renew your commitment to making disciples where God has placed you? Summary This episode explores the vision that gives spiritual gifts their purpose: Jesus' call to “go and make disciples of all the nations.” Spiritual gifts are not given simply for activity within the church; they are given so God can equip His people to participate in His mission of transforming lives. Jesus' Great Commission is presented as a large, aggressive, specific, and promised vision. His followers are called to go, make disciples, and radically influence the lives of others, with the assurance that Christ remains with them. Yet the church can easily lose that vision. Relational overload, the frantic pace of life, personal comfort, excessive church programs, and fear of rejection or ridicule can cause believers to become busy without being fruitful. Instead of taking the gospel into the world, Christians can become absorbed in activities that make them comfortable while losing sight of their calling. The episode then returns to Jesus' original call to Peter, Andrew, James, and John: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Their response reveals the excitement of discovering a higher purpose, one that answers the deep restlessness of the human soul. But the disciples later returned to fishing, illustrating how easily a God-given vision can fade when its consequences become uncomfortable. Through the story in Luke 5, Jesus renews that vision before the disciples. The question becomes personal: Will we remain with what is familiar and comfortable, or will we embrace Christ's call to participate in changing lives? The episode challenges believers to recover the enthusiasm and purpose of following Jesus and to take His vision into their families, workplaces, communities, and world. Outline The Vision Behind Spiritual Gifts Spiritual gifts are given for ministry and mission. Their purpose becomes clear through Jesus' vision for His followers. The Great Commission Jesus calls His disciples to go and make disciples. The vision is worldwide, active, specific, and accompanied by His presence. Why the Church Loses Its Vision Relational overload and a hurried pace of life. Comfort and the desire for safety. Church programs that entertain rather than equip. Fear of rejection, ridicule, and isolation. The Birth of the Vision Jesus calls ordinary fishermen to follow Him. “Fishers of men” gives them a higher purpose beyond their occupation. The Death of the Vision The disciples eventually return to fishing. Fear and familiarity can weaken enthusiasm for Christ's mission. Renewing the Vision Jesus again places the choice before His disciples. Believers are challenged to move beyond comfort and participate in changing lives for Christ. Key Takeaways Spiritual Gifts Have a Purpose: God equips believers so they can participate in His work of reaching and transforming people. The Vision Is Bigger Than the Church: Jesus calls His followers to take the gospel into the world rather than simply creating comfortable environments within the church. Busyness Can Replace Mission: A crowded schedule can leave us active without actually investing deeply in people or making disciples. Comfort Can Kill Vision: Following Christ often requires moving beyond what is safe, familiar, and convenient. Fear Can Silence Our Calling: Fear of rejection, ridicule, or isolation can cause believers to retreat from the mission Jesus has given them. Jesus Offers a Higher Calling: Like the fishermen who left their nets, Christians are invited to find a purpose that goes beyond career, possessions, and worldly success. Vision Must Be Renewed: Even those who have enthusiastically followed Christ can lose sight of their calling. Jesus continually calls His followers back to His mission. The Mission Is Personal: The call to make disciples applies not only to pastors or church leaders but to every believer—in the family, workplace, community, and wider world. Scripture References Matthew 28:18–20 — Jesus commissions His followers to make disciples of all nations. Mark 1:14–20 — Jesus calls the fishermen to follow Him and become fishers of men. Luke 5:1–11 — Jesus renews His call to the disciples and redirects them toward His mission. 1 Corinthians 12–14 — Spiritual gifts are given for ministry within the body of Christ. Recorded 11.2.82

Welcome to Week 3 of our series, The Church Jesus Is Building. In Ephesians 3, Paul prays that we would not only know about God's love, but that we would actually experience the depth of it for ourselves. God's love is wider, longer, higher, and deeper than we can fully comprehend—and yet He invites us to be rooted and established in that love. As the Church Jesus is building, we aren't meant to simply talk about God's love; we're meant to live from it, be shaped by it, and share it with others. When we know how deeply we are loved by God, it changes how we live, how we love, and how we belong to His family. Join us as we continue through Ephesians and discover what it means to be rooted in the love of Christ and filled with the fullness of God.

Welcome to Week 2 of our series, **The Church Jesus Is Building**. In Ephesians 2, we discover what happens when Jesus brings us from being far from God to being part of His family. The church isn't simply a building, a gathering, or an organization—it is a people who have been brought together through Christ. We are no longer strangers or outsiders, but members of God's household, being built together as a dwelling place for His presence. Join us as we continue through the book of Ephesians and discover *who the Church is, what unites us, and what it means to belong to God's family.*

Welcome to Week 1 of our series, **The Church Jesus Is Building**. In Ephesians 1, we discover that the church didn't begin with human ideas—it began with God's eternal plan. Before we ask what the church does, we need to understand who the church is. Through Christ, we have been blessed, chosen, adopted, and redeemed, and we're invited to live from that identity. Join us as we journey through the book of Ephesians and discover God's blueprint for His Church and our place in it.

What does it mean for Jesus to build His Church—and what part do we play in that process?In this message, we explore Matthew 16, Ephesians 2, and Acts 2 to discover God's design for a strong, Spirit-filled church. The Church is not merely a building or a weekly service. It is a people called out, gathered together, fitted together, and built into a dwelling place for the presence of God.Every believer matters. Like individual bricks joined together in a strong wall, we become stronger through worship, relationships, prayer, fellowship, serving, and studying the Word together. There is an individual anointing, but there is also a corporate anointing that can only be experienced when the Body of Christ gathers in unity.This message also examines the biblical pattern of the early Church: gathering in the temple and from house to house, devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. When believers follow this pattern, an atmosphere is created where the fear of God, signs and wonders, spiritual growth, and revival can flourish.Jesus is not building a place for occasional visitation—He is building a habitation for His presence. We are being built together so that His glory can dwell among us and lives can be transformed every time we gather.Watch and be encouraged to find your place, build meaningful relationships, serve faithfully, and become an active part of the Church Jesus is building.Key Scriptures: Matthew 16:16–19, Ephesians 2:8–10 and 2:21–22, Acts 2:38–47***************************** Sundays at 8:30 & 10:30 AMWe are branded by the fire of God.

#LovelikeChrist #BrideofChrist Who would you die for? And are we willing to love like Christ loves? In this message by Pastor Alex Klimchuk, we were reminded of the incredible love Christ has for His Church, a love so great that He gave His life for her. We have been saved, forgiven, adopted, and married into the family.

No perdamos la oportunidad de entrar a la celebración de Dios; no malgastemos el don que Dios nos ha dado; en cambio, pongamos nuestra fe en acción y sirvamos a otros en el nombre de Dios. (Mateos 25)

Pastor Landon looks at Acts 2 and Ephesians 4 and Christ's design for a healthy church—one devoted to God's Word, fellowship, prayer, unity, generosity, and faithfully using the gifts God has given. This service also marks the ordination of Azi Onama as a pastor of Freedom Fellowship. As a church family, we celebrate not simply a new pastor, but the faithfulness of Jesus, who continues to build, equip, and care for His church. Our calling is not to manufacture growth, but to remain faithful: open the Word, love one another, pray continually, serve humbly, proclaim the gospel, and keep Christ at the center. Scripture: Acts 2:42–47 • Ephesians 4:1–16 “The goal is not that people think Freedom Fellowship is wonderful. The goal is that people think Jesus is wonderful.”

What is the Church Jesus is actually building? In this message, Tim explores one of the great biblical themes that runs from Genesis to Revelation: the House of God. While we've often understood the Church through the lens of the ecclesia, this message introduces another equally important picture — God's house — and asks what that really means. My House - Sunday 12th July 2026_transcript.docx Beginning with Jesus cleansing the Temple in Mark 11, we discover that His passion wasn't centred on religious activity or programmes, but on something far deeper. “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Throughout Scripture, from Jacob's encounter at Bethel, to the Tabernacle in the wilderness, to Solomon's Temple and the prophetic words of Haggai, the same pattern continues to emerge. God's desire has always been to dwell among His people. His house is the place where heaven touches earth, where His name rests, and where His presence is made known. Tim unpacks how that pattern finds its fulfilment under the New Covenant. The house God is building is no longer a physical building, but a people. Together, we are becoming His dwelling place, a people who carry His presence into the world. This message is also a call to recalibrate our understanding of what success looks like as a church. If we measure ourselves by programmes, activity or numbers, we'll miss the very thing God is most passionate about. But if we become a people who know how to host His presence, who make room for His glory, and who build our lives around His heart, then we are cooperating with what He has always been building. More than anything, this message is an invitation to become the kind of people among whom God delights to dwell. Because the House of God has never simply been a place where people gather. It is the place where heaven and earth meet, where His presence is welcomed, and where the King of Glory makes His home among His people.

Many churches appear healthy on the outside—packed services, busy calendars, thriving ministries, and strong reputations.

Pastor Tim Gibb Lead Pastor Stand Alone Message May 31, 2026 AM

The Church is meant to be a Spirit-empowered movement, not just a place to attend. How can we rediscover Jesus' original vision for the Church? The post What Is the Church? Jesus' Original Vision (And How We Lost It) [So what about…?, part 6] appeared first on Crosscreek Community Church: A Church FOR People..

Faithfulness matters more than popularity. We often measure success by growth and approval… Jesus measures it by faithfulness. Most of us live reacting to what we can see. The headlines, the pressure, the chaos, the tension all around us. But what if what's visible isn't the full story? The Unseen Reality invites us to look beyond the surface and wrestle with a deeper question: what's actually happening behind what's happening? Because if we only interpret life through what's in front of us, we'll misread everything. Our circumstances, our purpose, even the presence of God. Through the book of Revelation, we're not chasing speculation. We're uncovering clarity. This series pulls back the curtain to reveal a spiritual reality where Jesus is present and active, where God is still on the throne, and where our lives are part of something far bigger than we often realize. As we learn to see clearly, we move from confusion to conviction and from fear to confidence, and we begin to live with a perspective that changes how we see everything. In these six weeks, we're not trying to decode every symbol or timeline. We're learning how to see clearly.

“Why does God call sinners to grace and not the damned?” This question raises important theological discussions about divine mercy and justice.

Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:20 – Catholicism doesn't make sense to me because it says God moves a sinner to repentance by grace and yet he doesn't do that for the damned. If God were all-loving, then wouldn't he move the damned to repentance and forgive them? 13:28 – How do Catholics make it to heaven? 16:50 – Why do we say the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and Son and why do the Orthodox disagree? 22:44 – If this is the Church Jesus founded, how is it that the Church has done so much evil in Canada, the crusades? 45:33 – I'm getting baptized this Saturday.

Following Jesus was never meant to stop with us.In this message, “You're Supposed to Make Disciples,” we look at Jesus' words in Matthew 28 and the mission He gave every believer: “Go and make disciples of all nations.”Jesus didn't die to create passive church attenders—He died to raise up disciple makers. The call of every Christian is not only to grow in faith, but to help others grow as well.In this sermon, you'll hear about:Why every believer is called to make disciplesHow following Jesus naturally leads to helping others follow HimWhy you don't have to be “perfect” or know everything to start discipling someoneThe four simple steps that help anyone become a disciple makerHow living out your faith becomes the greatest witness to othersWe gather to worship, grow in our faith, and then go into the world with the Gospel. Because the Church Jesus builds is not just a place people attend—it's a movement of people who follow Him and help others do the same.The question isn't whether you're growing in your faith.The question is: Are you helping someone else grow too?
