In this episode, Pastor Joel Sims continues with Part 2 of our Romans chapter 12 study, Do Not Be Conformed to This World. In this message, we explore what it looks like to live as a disciple of the Lord rather than being conformed to the world. We examine what Scripture means by “the world” and the things that draw us away from God, as described in 1 John 2:15–16—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—and consider the temporary nature of the things of this world.
The guys are back in Romans 11, discussing a hot-button topic in our day. Given what has already been discussed in chs 1-10, what then of Israel and God's dealings with Israel? Listen in as the guys walk through the text and show from the text how God is faithful even when His people are not. Conformed to Christ aims to engage the mind, affect the heart, and call people to follow Christ. Additionally, our aim is to introduce and explain passages of Scripture and difficult theological doctrines in a down-to-earth and easy-to-grasp manner. Theology and the Bible should impact your life, and our goal is that we might play a small part in seeing that happen. Conformed to Christ is a ministry of Christ's Fellowship Church. https://cfclawton.org/ ***Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and Amazon Music Youtube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCgQBeT-Mj1CmngPdhZyWybQ iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/conformed-to-christ/id1503247486 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NvbmZvcm1lZHRvY2hyaXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YruCZu4hla6Ll3rBu7UPY

After speaking about suffering and the Holy Spirit helping in our weaknesses, Paul continues to encourage believers through the idea that God is directing all things. Those things that from our perspective look like they are not for good, they are always for good to those who love God and those who are the called according to His purpose. God who spoke the world into existence is still speaking now causing all things to come to pass for the blessing for His bride collectively, but also for each individual Christian. For every believer, He is conforming them into the image of His Son. We will not be His proper image bearer until after the resurrection when corruption puts on incorruption, but even now for everyone who believes, He is working in us to mature us and make us more like the perfect Son of God. As we eagerly wait for the redemption of the body when we finally put off this body of death, we can rejoice knowing that we will be glorified and made like Him.

Many Pentecostals and charismatics claim that a natural part of the Christian life is to experience a "second baptism" of the Holy Spirit - but is this modern teaching true or is it a form of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Even more importantly, what is the true ministry of the Holy Spirit? Is it to cause men to babble and faint and tell the future, or to make men Holy as God is Holy?In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we trace the roots of Pentecostalism from John Wesley's Holiness movement through the teachings of Parham and Seymour and examine how the "second work of grace" and "entire sanctification" theories have led to a theology and practice that replaces the Spirit's work of true holiness with mystical experiences, chaos, and even physical foolishness.By looking at scriptures like Acts 1, 1 Corinthians 14, and John 16, we contrast the "spirit" of the Charismatic movement—which often exalts disorder and pride—with the true Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, Wisdom, and Order. The Holy Spirit was sent to give power to the church for the spread of the Gospel and the work of the ministry, and to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, not to make a mockery of the faith through barking or hysterical laughter.At The Conquering Truth, we believe that theology drives the world. Join us as we dismantle the errors of Pentecostalism and point back to the sufficient, transforming power of God's Word.Timecodes00:00 Blaspheming the Holy Spirit10:05 Tongues for Unbelievers15:08 Biblical Prophesy21:12 Mocking God34:44 Christ on the Holy Spirit43:47 Running to Destruction52:00 World Transformation01:03:45 Conformed to Christ01:10:15 Bringing into OrderProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Send us Fan MailWe will all experience seasons of pruning in our walk with the Master Gardener! And these seasons often feel like "fires of testing" - they purge, purify - and conform us further into the Image of Jesus! The fire means that Jesus is working - often in new and different ways - because He is often preparing us for new season. Join us as Pastor teaches us how to work with the Master and become conformed into His image.
In this episode I explore an easily-overlooked text with surprising political implications. In Romans 8:29-30, Paul claims that we were “predestined to become conformed to the Image of His Son” and that because of this will have been “glorified”. What does Paul mean? In her book Conformed to the Image of His Son, Dr. Haley Goranson Jacob argues that Paul is claiming believers are conformed to Jesus's status and function as the Son of God who rules over creation, and that our glorification denotes a sharing in that rule. She explains how ‘glory' when applied to humans in the Greek Old Testament regularly denotes power, authority, and dominion, that the restoration of human glory is an important subtheme in Romans 5-8, and that the sharing in Christ's inheritance which Paul articulates in Romans 8:12-17 is a participation in his rule. The language of ‘image' in Romans 8:29 is evocative of Genesis 1 and Psalm 8, where humans are, as God's image-bearers, given dominion over His creation, and since Jesus now rules are king over all creation his family, defined by faith and the Spirit, participate in that rule. The political implications are significant; I discuss how the church is God's set-apart family and that we are given the task of and empowered to rule over creation, which we must do in conformity with the crucified Messiah. The church exercises political power, but the political power must be cruciform and congruent with Christ's Messianic reign. I also discuss how passages like this should be brought into the conversation about the Bible and politics.

Conformed Or Transformed?
Send us Fan MailI want to talk to you today about something that is constantly happening around us…The gravitational pull toward average. Because whether you realize it or not, there's always pressure trying to pull you into mediocrity.Average thinking.Average effort.Average expectations.Average faith.And if you do nothing intentionally…the drift is inevitable.In this episode, I break down why no one accidentally becomes extraordinary.Nobody unintentionally fulfills purpose. Nobody coasts into calling. The truth is you were never created to blend in.You were created to shine. We look at Matthew 5 and the powerful reminder that we are called to be salt and light in this earth.Salt changes environments. Light changes atmospheres.Neither one conforms to its surroundings they transform them.And that's what you are called to do too.But here's the challenge:The world constantly tries to normalize compromise, passivity, fear, and comfort.“Don't stand out.”“Don't be too bold.”“Lower your standards.”“Just fit in.”But God says the opposite. Shine.In this episode, I talk about:The slow drift toward average and how it happensWhy subtle compromise is more dangerous than dramatic failureThe difference between conformity and transformationHow Caleb carried a “different spirit”Why your environment matters more than you thinkAnd how to actively resist the pull toward mediocrityBecause average is never something people choose intentionally. It's where drift takes them.And if you want to walk fully in your purpose… you have to become intentional.Intentional with your thoughts.Intentional with your standards.Intentional with your faith.Intentional with who you allow to shape your thinking.I believe this with everything in me:The world does not need a watered-down version of you.It needs your light.Your boldness.Your obedience.Your conviction.So today, I want you to ask yourself—Where have I started settling? Where have I started drifting? And what would happen if I chose to fully follow God again with a different spirit?Because you were never created to be average. You were created to influence environments, carry light, and walk in purpose
**The Word Became Flesh – A Revealing Exploration of John 1:14**In this outstanding and thought-provoking presentation, we continue our expositional series on what Christadelphians believe. Harry Tennant delivers a wonderful, scripture-centred examination of one of the most profound truths in the Bible: that the Word was made flesh. This is not a dry theological exercise but an inspiring journey into the heart of God's purpose, revealing how Jesus Christ—truly and uniquely the Son of God—embodies the very mind of God. From creation to the virgin birth, from the Old Testament prophecies to the perfect life of our Lord, this talk illuminates the beautiful consistency of God's plan. Join us as we honour the Son who shared our nature, overcame temptation, died for our sins, and now sits exalted at the Father's right hand.---## Chapters00:00 - Introduction: John 1:1-14 and the uniqueness of Christ 03:00 - The nature of God's Word: creation and consistency 07:30 - Christ: the pre-eminent purpose in God's mind 10:00 - “Before Abraham was, I am” – understanding Christ in the Old Testament 14:30 - The working of God's Word through prophecy 17:30 - The virgin birth: Mary's faith and the Word made flesh 22:30 - Jesus as a child: growing in wisdom and obedience 27:30 - The image of the invisible God: Father and Son distinguished 32:30 - Christ's true death, resurrection, and exaltation 36:30 - Explaining “pre-existence” passages: God's foreknowledge 42:00 - The Word radiated in Jesus' life and teaching 45:10 - Conclusion: What a word is this!---## Bible Verse Categories
