Podcasts about cloud of witnesses

In this theologically rich and pastorally grounded sermon on Hebrews 12:1–17, Rev. Dr. Michael Allen explores the discipline of the Lord as a key marker of our identity as beloved children of God. Drawing from the great “cloud of witnesses” in Hebrews 11 and the example of Jesus, Dr. Allen calls the church to run the race of faith with perseverance, eyes fixed on Christ, who endured the cross for the joy set before Him. He unpacks how God's discipline is not punishment but a fatherly training that forms us in holiness, shaping us to share in His righteousness and peace.Throughout the message, Dr. Allen urges believers to resist discouragement and spiritual complacency, reminding us that our trials are not meaningless—they are signs of divine sonship. With pastoral clarity, he challenges us to lift our drooping hands and strengthen weak knees, pressing forward in grace and striving for peace and holiness in community.

Christine Rich has learned the Saints are working for her in a very real way.  A number of years ago, Christine didn't understand why she felt drawn to choose Saint Valentine as her Saint of the Year. Months later, God caught her attention when she realized that the morning she signed papers to leave the large, Catholic company she co-founded was Valentine's Day. After signing the papers, Christine went to pray at a local convent where Venerable Patrick Peyton had spent his final years. Christine even sat and prayed in his chair. Years later, Christine's daughter and son-in-law would name their first child Peyton. Peyton was born on Valentine's Day.  Listen to this Easter podcast and learn how the Saints are working for you, too! Christine Rich is a contributor to Clouds of Witnesses: 25 Stories of Saintly Inspiration and Intercession. 

I. The Christian life is like running a marathon race, vv1-2. II. The Christian life is like fighting in a cage fight, vv3-4. III. The Christian life is like being raised in a disciplinarian's home, vv5-6.

Hebrews 12:1-2Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

What do a marathon runner, a seasoned coach, and a disciplined father all have in common? According to Hebrews 12, they each offer a glimpse into the Christian life—a race run with endurance, a life shaped by correction, and a goal always in sight. Today, we lace up our spiritual shoes and step into the challenge: what does it mean to run with perseverance, especially when the path is uphill and the training is tough? Let's find out.  The Rev. John Lukomski, pastor emeritus and co-Host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 12:1-13.  For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

When did the early Christians begin to seek the intercession of particularly holy people, such as the martyrs? Was this something they copied from Greco-Roman society? In the latest episode of Controversies in Church History, we take a look at the origins of the cult of the saints. In it, I discuss when and how the early Christians began to venerate Christian martyrs, and the evidence of this practice. I address the similarities and differences between the veneration of the saints and Greco-Roman religion, and why veneration of saints marked a radical departure from other religions in the ancient world.

"We are connected by so much more than our senses." Homily by Dean Nathan LeRud, delivered at the Evensong of Remembrance for the Feast of All Souls, Sunday, November 3, 2024.

The Cloud Of Witnesses, The Enduring Of The Cross & The Contradiction Of Sinners

Spiritual Director Nina Barnes helps us reflect on the great cloud of witnesses, the anger and cynicism of being awake right now, and the necessity of carrying each other.  Join us at The Between Retreats Substack for notes, links, and more.

We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. . . . — Hebrews 12:1 This month we have focused on serving as Jesus' witnesses. Jesus ended his ministry on earth by commissioning his followers to be his witnesses in their immediate area, in the surrounding regions, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Hebrews 12 offers some helpful encouragement in this work. In the previous chapter, Hebrews 11, the writer has listed examples of faithful followers of the Lord from early times—Noah, Abraham, Moses, Rahab, and many, many more. They all lived as faithful witnesses of God and of the ways God worked in their lives. Then in Hebrews 12 we are told that these souls make up a great cloud of witnesses who cheer us on as we serve the Lord today. One person in that cloud is Johanna Veenstra. More than a hundred years ago, Johanna—a woman in her twenties who was part of my church—went to serve as a missionary to the African country of Nigeria. Today there are more than 700,000 followers of Jesus in our partner church in that country. And, of course, there are even more in other Christian denominations! We see the power of faithful witnesses all around the world. The gospel is bearing fruit on every continent. You and I, wherever we find ourselves, are invited to fix our eyes on Jesus and run the same race. May God bless and equip each one of us to be his faithful witnesses! Jesus, thank you for the cloud of witnesses who cheer us on. Help us, we pray, to be your faithful witnesses always. Amen.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. When thinking about running the race of the Christian life, it helps me to consider the history around me. I sometimes study at an antique desk. The finish is cracked. The corners are rounded. The chair creaks. Some people tell me to get a new desk that doesn't look so old and outdated, but you know other preachers have used this desk—many very fine preachers. And studying at that desk causes me to consider those that have gone before me. This is kind of what we're told in Hebrews 12:1 where the writer mentions a “cloud of witnesses,” which were people who were heavily persecuted for the cause of the Gospel. They were beaten, stoned, and sawn in two for their faith. They were people who finished the race, and shared the Gospel passionately to the very end. So let me encourage you today: consider these heroes of the past who have run the race and won. We can do it too! And knowing that can help us finish strong. For more information and encouragement, visit www.sharelife.today.

As the years unfolded, the Lord led them from aviation to administration and even pastoring, always prioritizing family unity. Through all the shifts in vocation and location, Dave and Becky remained steadfast in their calling, illustrating that wherever you are, God will utilize you in his grand plan.
