Podcasts about contend

Church gatherings inspire — but homes shape.In week two of our Contend series, we explore what it means to fight for what matters most: the spiritual health of our homes.Because the spiritual temperature of a church is often set by the spiritual health of its homes.

Nathan Burley begins a new 2 part series "Contend for the faith" Jude 1-16 "Twisting the truth"

Before we contend for our homes, our relationships, or our town — we must contend for what's happening inside us.In this message, Contend for the Heart, we explore what it means to guard our inner life and pursue holiness — not as religious performance, but as Spirit-led transformation from the inside out.

Job 1010:1 I loathe my own life- This uses a different Hebrew word for loathes than is used in 9:21.10:2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;- He is addressing God. With all he has said about the impossibility of receiving a fair trial before God, He is still the One to whom Job turns. Let me know why You contend with me- Contend is a form of the Hebrew rib, a word often used in a legal context (Job 9:3; 13:8, 19; 33:13; 40:2). It seems that a plaintiff was obligated to make known the charges against the defendant and Job has not been given that right. Job is genuinely confused and disoriented by this whole process and longs to know the why. 10:3 Is it right for You indeed to oppress, - The word translated right in the NASB is a word used repeatedly in the creation account in Gen. 1 . Is it good for God to act as He has toward Job? The verb oppress is used 35 times in the OT. It describes the horrors God's people suffered at the hand of the Assyrians (Isa. 52:4) and the Babylonians (Jer. 50:33).  God brings justice for those who are oppressed (Ps. 103:6; 146:7). Proverbs 14:31 says, “He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker.” The one who oppresses men ultimately insults God.  What is striking about this use of the verb in Job 10 is that it is God doing the oppressing. It is God who delivers the oppressed. This is the only time in the OT that God is the subject of the verb oppressed. To reject the labor of Your hands,- The phrase work/ works of Your (His) hand/ hands is used in Ps. 138:8; Job 14:15; 34:19 speaking of man as the object of God's care. But here instead of God showing compassion, God is rejecting, repudiating what His hands have made. And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked? The verb look favorably  is a rare word in the OT used in Ps. 94:1 where the author begs the God of vengeance to shine forth. In Ps. 50:2-3 God has shone forth to bring fire on his adversaries. In Job 10:3 Job laments that instead of God showing His vengeance to the wicked, He is showing His favor. The two words translated schemes of the wicked here are translated counsel of the wicked in Ps. 1:1. In that Psalm the man who avoids the counsel of the wicked is blessed.   10:4 Have You eyes of flesh? God is Spirit and not flesh in II Chron. 32:7-8; Isa. 31:3 /Or do You see as a man sees?- Here he emphasizes that God does not see the same way man sees (I Sam. 16:7; Job 26:6; 28:24; 31:4; 34:21; Prov. 16:2; 21:2).  10:5 And Your days as the days of a mortal, Or Your years as a man's years- In 36:26 Job says of God that “the number of His years is unsearchable.” Ps. 90:1-12; 102:27. 10:6 That You should seek for my guilt- The word seek is often used to describe God being the object of man's seeking (Job 5:8; I Chron. 16:10, 11; II Chron. 7:14; 11:16; 15:4, 15; 20:4).  And search are my sin? The word search is also used with God being the object of our search in I Chron. 10:14; 15:13; 16:11; 22:19; II Chron.12:14; 14:4, 7; 15: 2,1 2; 16:12. Here it is God searching out our sin.   10:7 And there is no deliverance from Your hand- Often this word for deliverance is used in a context speaking of God as the One who gives deliverance (Gen. 32:11; Ex. 3:8; 6:6; I Sam. 10:18; 17:37). While God is usually the One who brings deliverance, here He is the One from whom deliverance is sought. 

We made it! Thank You, Jesus, we trust in Your providence.Who is this King of Glory? He is high and lifted up. He is our Rock, Refuge, and our intimate Savior. He is also our King. Once we meet Him truly, we will all say with Job. “Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 2 “I know that Thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted. 3 ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' “Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.” 4 ‘Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask Thee, and do Thou instruct me.' 5 “I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees Thee; 6 Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:1-5The devil wanted to prove a loving relationship with God, but man was false. God tested Job to prove His adoption was sure and steadfast. Our So What?Since our Creator formed us for communion, and our Savior paid the price (His death and resurrection), and our Sustainer gives us fullness of joy, we foster, nurture, and practice privileged conversation with the King of Glory! Amen!“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another.

When is a tax not a tax? Apparently, when it is a levy, except it seems sometimes a levy is not a levy either. That was the coalition's contention at Parliament today as it pushes ahead with plans to build a new liquefied natural gas import facility - funded by a charge levied on the electricity companies. Labour has labelled it a "gas tax" which will drive up power bills - but the government insists it will actually reduce them. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

Who is this King of Glory? Today brings us one step further out of the 25-26 estuary. The King of Glory is our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer. He is kind and long-suffering, but also Holy and true. He also asks Job and us where we were at the moment of creation, how the universe is truly sustained, and lastly (today), if we cannot conquer His creation, how do we confront Him? Today is fun because God brings the Behemoth and the Leviathan to Job's attention. I love the conclusion of God's argument: “Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle; you will not do it again! 9 “Behold, your expectation is false; Will you be laid low even at the sight of him?” Job 41:8-9Therefore:“No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him; Who then is he that can stand before Me? 11 “Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.” Job 41:0-11Our So What?We chose to, in humility and lowliness to come to our communion with the Almighty in lowliness, taking Solomon's advice to heart:“Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.” Ecclesiastes 5:2“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen”1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR IN ONE PHRASE IN INTRO. ERASMUS BELIEVED IN FREEWILL NOT BONDAGE OF THE WILL. LUTHER & TYNDALE BELIEVED IN BONDAGE OF THE WILL. Due technical difficulties with editing you will find other errors not able to be edited. IN THIS MESSAGE WE WILL SHOW THAT THE MORAL HEALTH OF AMERICA IS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO THE CHURCH. ALL OF AS AMERICANS WHO STILL HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE KNOW THAT AMERICA IS IN A MORAL MELTDOWN. WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE MORALITY OF A NATION BUT THE CHURCH & WHAT CHURCH DOCTRINE IN AMERICA IS DOMINANT BUT THE FASTFOOD FREEWILL DOCTRINE. BUT WHO ULTIMATELY IS TO BLAME,BUT WE THE PEOPLE. WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION ARE THE EMPLOYERS OF OUR POLITICIANS: ALSO WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION ARE THE ONES FUNDING THESE FASTFOOD FREEWILL CHURCHES. LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE, AND THOSE OF US AMERICANS WHO HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE LEFT WILL KNOW WHAT SAMUEL ADAMS THE 2 COUSIN TO JOHN ADAMS OUR SECOND PRESIDENT, IS SPOT ON. SAMUEL ADAMS JUST FLAT OUT EXPOSES, IN THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT, THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DID NOT BELIEVE IN THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, & IN FACT THEY BELIEVED EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. “The RELIGION(AT HIS TIME THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE WAS DOMINANT)and PUBLIC LIBERTY of a people are intimately connected; THEIR INTERESTSare interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore they rise and fall together. For this reason, it is always observable, that those who are combin'd to destroy the people's liberties, practice EVERY ART to POISON their MORALS.”ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY. BOTH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE BLATANTLY ENDORSING SEXUAL IMMORALITY. BUT ARE, WE THE PEOPLE, WHO ARE UNDER OUR MIRACULOUS CONSTITUTION, WHICH WAS WRITTEN, OF US & BY US & FOR US, ARE WE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MORAL MELTDOWN OF AMERICA. WE ARE IN CHARGE OF HIRING AND FIRING OUR POLITICIANS ARE WE NOT. THUS WE THE PEOPLE MYST SPEAK UP. WE WANT OUR EMPLOYEES TO AGAIN WRITE LAWS THAT REFLECT GOD'S LAWS OF HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM. AND WHY WOULD OUR POLITICIANS NOT DO THAT BUT THEY HAVE THEMSELVES HAVE FORSAKEN GOD'S LAWS OF HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM. AND WHY WOULD WE THE PEOPLE HIRE THESE POLITICIANS BUT FOR THE FACT THAT WE THE PEOPLE HAVE FORSAKEN GOD'S LAWS. HOW IS IT WORKING OUT FOR US AS AMERICANS, WE ALL KNOW WE ARE IN A MORAL MELTDOWN AND ARE ABOUT READY TO LOSE OUR NATION WITHOUT A SHOT BEING FIRED FROM OTHER NATIONS. WE ARE SELF DESTRUCTING. WE ARE NOT CONTENDING WITH IMMORALITY BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE HAVE FORSAKEN GOD' S LAWS OF HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM. PROVERBS 28: [4] THEY(US AMERICANS)that forsake the law DO WHAT?praise the wicked: but such as keep the law CONTEND with them.WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO AGAIN TAKE HEED TO THE WORDS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN WHEN HE CALLED WE THE PEOPLE TO A DAY OF HUMILIATION FASTING AND PRAYER ON APRIL 30, 1863. “And, insomuch as we know thatby His divine law nations, like individuals, aresubjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear thatthe awful calamity of civil war which now desolates the land may be but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole people? We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties…But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, andwe have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.

Pastor Timothy challenges us to, Contend for the faith tradition, honoring Truth, being tethered to Jesus.

The conclusion of Jude focuses on the believer's responsibility to defend and contend for the authentic Christian faith against false teaching. False teaching slowly deforms believers until they become unrecognizable from their original faith. Christians are called to actively maintain their faith through prayer, building each other up, and showing mercy to those affected by false teaching—whether they are wavering, wandering, or wayward. Ultimately, believers are reminded that God is able to keep them from falling away and present them faultless before His glorious presence.

The Letter of Jude E2 — In the introduction to his letter, Jude (or Judah) shares that he had hoped to write about the community's “shared rescue” of salvation in Jesus. But urgent problems in the church forced him to send a warning instead. He calls his readers to “contend for the faith once for all handed down,” describing this faith as made up of trust in the story of Jesus and loyalty to Jesus' way of life. But what is the threat Jude wants them to guard against, and how does he describe it? In this episode, Jon and Tim break down the introduction to the letter of Jude, revealing a multitude of Hebrew Bible hyperlinks and a method of reading Scripture as unified meditation literature.CHAPTERSLoved, Kept, and Called (0:00-13:20)Contend for the Faith (13:20-21:50)The Irreverent Ones (21:50-36:43)The Literary Design of the Letter (36:43-44:41)FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESJude and the Relatives of Jesus in the Early Church by Richard BauckhamCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books.SHOW MUSIC“Faithful ft.

Why do some Christians seem to enjoy causing conflict? How can I express disagreement, even strong disagreement, without being divisive? Why does it seem like there is so much strife in the church?

More Post-Dispatch podcasts.  Please consider subscribing. There is no bumper sticker, no buzzy campaign slogan that captures the challenge facing Major League Baseball and its 30 clubs as economic disparity grows and the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement arrives. A complex issue requires a complex solution. Or does it? A brief conversation about the Cardinals' spending strategy and past history with free agency, based on research done for The Write Fielder newsletter, spirals into a much larger debate between Best Podcast in Baseball host Derrick Goold and guest Kevin Wheeler, of KMOX/104.1 FM. After detailing how the Cardinals got into their current predicament, the questions that follow are two-fold: Do the Cardinals need to change their approach to free agency to return to contention, and does MLB need to change its economic structure for the Cardinals to have a new approach to free agency. The debate ignites from there. Wheeler makes a compelling case for how the Cardinals needed to "swim in deeper waters" for free agency and a more conservative approach caught up with them. He adds that a team now focused on development needs to produce its own stars. Goold counters by wondering what World Series contenders have developed their star and not had to outfit the roster with free-agent moves to complete the championship-caliber roster. The Yankees may have Aaron Judge, and they used prospects to trade for Juan Soto once, but they also signed Gerrit Cole. The Kansas City Royals have a homegrown, bona fide star in Bobby Witt Jr. But what's next? That's where the economics of the game enter the conversation and Wheeler's stance that the "big boys" need to play ball for the betterment of the game, and if that means taking less or receiving a smaller cut to spur and require the spending of the smaller markets so be it. Goold makes a suggestion for pulling that off that Wheeler contends would be difficult to sell to fans who what the tangible bumper sticker, not the boring details of how it gets done. Eventually they agree on one. It's the TV deal. Wheeler's arguments that hinge on a comparison to the NBA and its salary cap format require there to be a much larger national TV deal, one closer to what the NBA has. And that is the crux of this. Once that's in place then negotiations about a salarly floor, shared revenue, and an international draft to better balance talent coming from abroad are all more tangible because the largest issue -- the growing gulch between teams -- has been bridged. In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

There are several economic headwinds present that we can't ignore. Chad P. Wilson discusses these and offers a silver lining in this week's episode of Money Matters.  This episode was recorded on December 02, 2025 by Chad P. Wilson of Foundation Bank. 

It's Monday, December 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Why are Christians in Nigeria Facing Such Violent Attacks? President Donald Trump recently brought the topic of Christian persecution up noting that Nigeria was quote a ‘Country of Particular Concern' for violating religious freedom.  This has led to questions over why so many Nigerian Christian communities have faced violent attacks and why the President of the United States would require attention to this issue. Persecution.org examined this question and has found that according to most western media outlets Climate Change is often used to portray the violent attacks over natural resources instead of religious motivation. For example, in 2023 a massacre occurred on Christmas Eve.  Over 140 people were killed in Nigeria Plateau state.  Vatican News ran an article that said, quote ‘the long-running conflict between nomadic herders and farmers'. Right after a massacre in June of this year in which 200 Christians in Nigeria's Benue state were killed.  The BBC ran an article on violence in central Nigeria that said quote ‘It is safe to assume that there are lots of victims on both sides, as any attack usually leads to revenge and then a cycle of violence' Why is that safe to assume? Justice G Danjuma, an evangelist for the Remnant Christian Network in Nigeria's Taraba State, does agree that disputes over resources play a role, just not nearly as big a role as many Media outlets would have you believe. Danjuma says quote ‘Overwhelmingly the attacks are driven by religious animosity.'  He also encouraged people to quote ‘Reject the climate change narrative pushed by Western Media' He and added that it is quote, ‘It is deeply offensive and misleading.  Why would climate change cause people to burn churches, kill pastors and massacre worshippers during Christmas or Palm Sunday services.' Nigeria is currently number 7 on the Open Doors World Watch List for countries where Christians face the most extreme persecution. Pray for the believers in Nigeria with the words of Psalm 35:1-3: "Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me!  Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!  Draw spear and javelin against my pursuers!  Say to my soul, I am your salvation!" ADF Releases Report of Christian Victories in the Supreme Court The Alliance Defending Freedom or ADF released a report listing the victories of 2025 so far this year!  Among the victories in the US Supreme Court they reported were; A decision in June that pro-life states like South Carolina can now direct Medicaid funds away from abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood. And a landmark victory for children's health and science based medicine.  The Court upheld Tennessee law protecting minors from harmful and life-altering gender transition drugs and surgeries. A link to a full list of cases won and still awaiting decisions is in a link in our transcript. Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act Introduced Lifenews.com reports that US Senator John Cornyn from Texas along with Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma and a group of their Senate GOP colleagues, introduced the Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act, which would ensure medical students and residents are never pressured or coerced into abortion training that violates their moral or religious beliefs and established clear federal protections so residents are not forced to choose between their conscience and their careers. Senator Cornyn said quote, ‘The first rule of medicine is to do no harm, yet for many aspiring doctors, coerced abortion training not only contradicts that oath but also violates their moral and religious beliefs. By allowing medical residents to opt-in rather than opt-out of abortion training, this legislation would protect healthcare professionals convictions and give them the freedom to practice medicine without fear of retaliation.' Findings from Abortion Mill Undercover Investigation Released RightNow a not-for-profit organization committed to nominating and electing pro-life candidates along with educating and engaging pro-life Canadians on the political process, recently released the findings of an undercover investigation in which they went into abortion clinics across Canada to find out if it was possible to get a late-term abortion based solely on personal choice.  Alissa Golob, Co-Founder and Executive Director of RightNow says quote, ‘Canadians are often told that late-term abortions never happen in Canada and if they do, they are for extreme medical reasons.  Yet, I was told numerous times that attaining a late-term abortion in Canada is relatively easy, legal and that I did not need a reason, medical or otherwise, regarding myself or my pregnancy.' Other things exposed in this investigation were things like an abortion clinic counsellor defining late-term abortion in Canada as stillbirth, which calls into question the validity of current statistics around late-term abortions in Canada. And that taxpayer money in Canada has been used to fund travel and accommodations of Canadian women who are being sent to for-profit abortion clinics.   You can watch the YouTube video report in a link on our transcript at TheWorldview.com Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday December 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Summary: In this episode, Dr. Easley sits down with Sean Dunn, founder of GroundWire, an innovative ministry reaching young people where they already are—online. With decades of experience in youth ministry, Sean shares how God shifted his focus from platform ministry to personal evangelism that points people to Jesus, not a personality. His mission stems from a prayer he first wrote in his Bible at 14: “Contend for a generation.”  Together, Michael and Sean discuss how today's younger generations—particularly Gen Z—are both deeply anxious and spiritually open, though often disconnected from traditional church structures. Sean unpacks practical ways to engage them with empathy and authenticity, using the simple yet powerful acronym LETS: Listen, Empathize, Transition, Share. He also challenges believers to rethink evangelism through Jesus' words in Matthew 9: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” The conversation calls every listener to see the current culture not as hopeless, but as ripe for harvest—and to pray earnestly for God to send workers into the field. Takeaways: Sean Dunn founded GroundWire to reach young people for Christ through digital evangelism. Today's youth are spiritually open but disconnected from traditional church methods. The “apathiest” generation believes in God but ignores Him. Authentic care and kindness open doors for gospel conversations. Jesus' command in Matthew 9 calls believers to pray for and become workers in the harvest. Effective evangelism begins with listening and empathy, not arguments or authority.

Voters in Ecuador overwhelmingly voted not to allow foreign military bases to return to the country. The Trump Administration had hoped to use Ecuador to support U.S. military activity in the region. And it's happening against the backdrop of frequent U.S. military strikes against alleged drug boats. Supporters of the national referendum wanted help to stem soaring violence from drug gangs using it as a key transit hub. We go to the Ecuadoran coast where fishermen try to make a living in the face of extortion by drug gangs and now contend with the threat of strikes by the U.S. military.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
