Podcasts about Doulos

This morning Rinus shares a stirring message from Mark 10:32-45 As Christians, we are all, without exception, bondservants of Christ. If you consider yourself a follower of Jesus, it means that Christ is not only your Savior, but also your Lord, and your Master. So we should adopt the same attitude as that of Jesus, who came to serve and not be served.

Welcome to today's podcast, where we're diving into an inspiring and convicting message from Pastor David Oghenerobor, titled "DOULOS | Take Up Your Cross." In this powerful sermon, Pastor David challenges us to rethink what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just as believers, but as His devoted servants, or Doulos. Taking us deep into the meaning of this ancient Greek word for "servant" or "bondservant," he paints a vivid picture of what it looks like to live a life of complete surrender, obedience, and self-denial in Christ. But this isn't just about understanding a concept—it's about embracing a radical way of life, where we pick up our own cross daily and walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Through biblical teachings and compelling stories, Pastor David explores the cost of discipleship and the transforming power of the cross. This message will leave you reflecting on your own walk with Christ and asking, "Am I truly living as a Doulos—a servant of Christ who is willing to sacrifice everything for the Gospel?" So, sit back, listen closely, and let's dive into this life-changing message: "DOULOS | Take Up Your Cross."

Welcome back to the podcast! In today's episode, we're continuing our journey through Pastor David Oghenerobor's powerful sermon "DOULOS | Take Up Your Cross." In Part Two of this series, Pastor David dives even deeper into what it looks like to live out the daily commitment of being a Doulos—a servant of Christ. In this part of the sermon, Pastor David shifts from understanding the call to follow Jesus to exploring the practical steps we need to take to carry our cross every day. He asks a profound question: What does it really mean to "take up your cross" on a day-to-day basis? And this is where the rubber meets the road—where we learn that true discipleship isn't just about understanding the concept, but about actively walking in it, no matter the cost. This episode is full of powerful reflections, challenges, and encouragement to take up our cross daily and live out our calling as Doulos—servants of Christ. So, sit back and listen closely as Pastor David dives into Part Two of "DOULOS | Take Up Your Cross."

Niewolnictwo jest czymś co kojarzy się nam jako coś całkowicie złego. W czasach biblijnych niewolnictwo miało jednak kilka znaczeń. Prawo Mojżeszowe zawierało wiele praw co do tego jak należy traktować niewolników. Zacznijmy od znaczenia hebrajskiego i greckiego słowa oznaczającego niewolnika, a później przejdźmy do praw dotyczących traktowania różnych niewolników.Problem, z którym spotykają się tłumacze Biblii polega na tym, że często jedno słowo można przetłumaczyć (zależnie od kontekstu) na kilka słów w języku docelowym. Takim słowem jest właśnie hebrajskie słowo “ewed” oraz greckie “doúlos”. Tłumacze dzielą się więc na tych konsekwentnych, którzy ustalają, że zawsze będą dane słowo tłumaczyć tak samo oraz tych niekonsekwentnych, którzy tłumaczą w zależności od kontekstu. Zobaczmy więc jakie znaczenie ma słowo “niewolnik” oraz jak jest ono tłumaczone.Hebrajskie słowo ewed może oznaczać niewolnika, czyli kogoś kto jest własnością. W Rodzaju 12:16 czytamy: “Ze względu na nią wyświadczał Abramowi dobrodziejstwa, tak że miał owce, bydło, osły, niewolników i niewolnice, oślice i wielbłądy”. Dowiadujemy się, że Faraon dał Abramowi niewolników i zwierzęta. Ten patriarcha był więc właścicielem zarówno tych zwierząt jak i tych ludzi. Czy to jednak jest jedyne tłumaczenie tych słów? W 2 Kronik 10:7 czytamy: “Oni odpowiedzieli mu tak: Jeżeli będziesz dobry dla tego ludu i okażesz im życzliwość, i przemówisz do nich słowami łaskawymi, będą twoimi sługami po wszystkie dni”. W oryginale użyto słowa ewed czyli niewolnik. Jest tu jednak mowa o poddanych króla Rechoboama. Zauważmy, że poddany podlega woli króla. Jest wolnym człowiekiem, ale wola króla jest ważniejsza od jego woli. Jest więc w pewnym sensie niewolnikiem króla, choć nie do tego stopnia jak prawdziwy niewolnik.Inny rodzaj ludzi określony tym słowem jest opisany w 2 Samuela 8:6, gdzie czytamy: “Dawid obsadził też załogami Aram Damasceński, i tak zostali Aramejczycy hołdownikami Dawida, składającymi daninę”. Aramejczycy czyli Syryjczycy zostali hołdownikami Dawida. W oryginale występuje tutaj także słowo niewolnik. Zauważmy, że Syria miała swojego władcę, ale ponieważ płacił on daninę Dawidowi Syryjczyków nazwano niewolnikami.Słowa niewolnik używano także to okazania komuś szacunku. W Rodzaju 42:10 czytamy: “A oni powiedzieli do niego: Nie, panie! Słudzy twoi przybyli, aby zakupić żywność”. Zauważmy, że bracia Józefa nie mówili w pierwszej osobie. Nie mówili: “my przybyliśmy”, ale “słudzy twoi przybyli”. Mówienie w trzeciej osobie i nazywanie siebie sługami czyli niewolnikami było sposobem okazania szacunku rozmówcy.Inne znaczenie słowa niewolnik jest związane z religią. W Łukasza 1:38 czytamy: “I rzekła Maria: Oto ja służebnica Pańska, niech mi się stanie według słowa twego. I anioł odszedł od niej”. Maria nazwała się tutaj służebnicą. W oryginale greckim występuje tutaj słowo doule czyli niewolnica. My dziś użylibyśmy słowa wyznawca. Zauważmy wyznawca Boga jest ograniczony prawami swojej religii. Nie jest więc do końca wolny i w tym sensie jest niewolnikiem. W starym testamencie ten termin jest wielokrotnie używany wobec Mojżesza, który jest nazywany niewolnikiem Boga.Zobaczcie jak w waszej Biblii oddano te wersety? Czy tłumacz konsekwentnie tłumaczył słowo ewed zawsze tak samo np. na polskie słowo niewolnik lub sługa czy może w zależności od kontekstu tłumaczył: niewolnik, poddany czy wyznawca? Jakie przekłady wy wolicie? Wolicie te konsekwentne przekłady czy takie zależne od kontekstu? Mi wydaje się, że przekłady tłumaczące te słowa w zależności od kontekstu są lepsze dla tych, którzy pierwszy raz czytają Biblię. Mogłoby im być trudno zrozumieć, że król nazywa poddanych niewolnikami albo dlaczego bracia Józefa mówią jesteśmy twoimi niewolnikami.Jakie prawa dotyczyły niewolników? Po pierwsze inaczej traktowano niewolników z okolicznych narodów, a inaczej izraelskich niewolników. W Kapłańskiej 25:46 czytamy o tej różnicy: “Będziecie ich przekazywać po sobie na dziedziczną własność synom swoim na zawsze. Jako niewolników mieć ich będziecie. Lecz z waszymi braćmi, synami izraelskimi, nie będziecie obchodzić się surowo”. Niewolnicy z narodów byli niewolnikami na stałe, których dziedziczyli synowie.Niewolnika mogła wykupić rodzina lub on sam. W Kapłańskiej 25:49 czytamy: “Albo jego stryj, albo syn jego stryja wykupi go, albo ktokolwiek z jego bliskiej rodziny go wykupi, albo jeżeli go stać na to, sam się wykupi”. Taki niewolnik mógł być wykupiony, ale mógł się też sam wykupić. Oznacza to, że niewolnik mógł zarabiać i gromadzić pieniądze. O tym jak należało traktować niewolnika, który był Żydem jest napisane w Powtórzonego prawa 15:12, czytamy tam: “Jeżeli zaprzeda ci się twój brat, Hebrajczyk lub Hebrajka, to będzie ci służył sześć lat, a w siódmym roku wypuścisz go od siebie wolnym”. Ale jak Hebrajczyk czyli Żyd mógł stać się niewolnikiem innego Żyda? W Wyjścia 22:3 czytamy: “Złodziej powinien dać odszkodowanie; jeżeli nic nie ma, zostanie za swoją kradzież sprzedany”. Ale jak wyglądała sytuacja kobiet? Żyd będący niewolnikiem w Izraelu stawał się wolny w siódmym roku. Sytuacja kobiet była inna. W Wyjścia 21:7 czytamy: “Jeżeli zaś ktoś sprzeda swoją córkę jako niewolnicę, to ona nie odejdzie, tak jak odchodzą niewolnicy”. Kobiet nie dotyczyło prawo uwolnienia w roku siódmym. Zostawały niewolnicami na zawsze. Ich sytuację omawia prawo dotyczące nałożnic. Kolejny werset 8 mówi: “Jeżeli nie spodoba się swemu panu, który ją przeznaczył dla siebie, niech ją pozwoli wykupić. Jednak nie ma prawa sprzedać jej obcemu ludowi, bo postąpiłby wobec niej wiarołomnie”.Sprzedana kobieta mogła zostać żoną. Mogli ją też wykupić jej krewni. Nie wolno jednak było jej sprzedać komuś z innego narodu. Werset 9 mówi dalej: “Jeżeli przeznaczył ją dla swego syna, postąpi z nią według prawa dotyczącego córek”. Gdy niewolnicę przeznaczał na żonę dla syna stawała się ona swego rodzaju córką. Podobnie było gdy właściciel sam się z nią ożenił. W Wyjścia 21:10 czytamy: “Jeżeli weźmie sobie inną za żonę, nie ujmie jej ani pożywienia, ani odzieży, ani obcowania cielesnego”.Niewolnica gdy stawała się żoną nie mogła być traktowana gorzej niż inne żony. Tutaj warto przypomnieć losy protoplasty rodu czyli Jakuba zwanego Izraelem. Miał on dwie żony i dwie niewolnice. Wszystkie te cztery kobiety urodziły mu dzieci, które później były traktowane jednakowo. Księga Wyjścia mówiła, że taka niewolnica, która stawała się żoną nie mogła dostawać mniej pożywienia, odzieży czy współżycia z mężem. To ostatnie dawało jej możliwość urodzenia synów, którzy by się nią opiekowali po śmierci męża.Niewolnikami mogły się stać całe narody, całe miasta. Przykładem są Gibeonici. W Jozuego 9:27 czytamy: “Ale Jozue przeznaczył ich w tym dniu do rąbania drzewa i noszenia wody dla zboru i dla ołtarza Pana aż do dnia dzisiejszego w miejscu, które miał wybrać”. Jozue przeznaczył mieszkańców tego miasta do pracy. Dalej oni jednak mieszkali w swoim mieście. Dalej też zajmowali się swoimi sprawami. Oprócz tego musieli jednak także dostarczyć drewno i wodę do świątyni. Podsumowując te wszystkie prawa były dobre dla niewolników. Niestety nie zawsze ich przestrzegano. Np. w Jeremiasza 34:11 czytamy: “Lecz potem cofnęli swoją zgodę i ściągnęli z powrotem niewolników i niewolnice, których wypuścili na wolność, i zmusili ich do służby jako niewolników i niewolnice”. Żydzi w tamtych czasach zwolnili niewolników, potem jednak zniewolili ich ponownie. Prawo często też przypominało, że sami Izraelici byli kiedyś niewolnikami. Np. w Powtórzonego Prawa 15:15 czytamy: “Będziesz pamiętał, że byłeś niewolnikiem w ziemi egipskiej i że Pan, Bóg twój, wykupił cię. Dlatego Ja nakazuję ci to dzisiaj”. Wcześniejsze wersety mówią o tym jak należało traktować niewolnika. Np. gdy po 6 latach niewoli stawał się wolny należało dać mu coś z trzody na początek wolności. Gdy Izraelici słuchali prawa i go przestrzegali sytuacja niewolników była całkiem dobra. Przynajmniej w porównaniu z tych jak traktowano ich w innych narodach.Chrześcijanie w I wieku nie walczyli z instytucją niewolnictwa. Wielokrotnie zachęcali niewolników do wzorowej pracy wobec ich właścicieli. Najlepiej oddaje to chyba 1 do Koryntian 7:21 gdzie czytamy: “Zostałeś powołany, będąc niewolnikiem? Nie trap się tym; ale jeśli możesz stać się wolnym, raczej korzystaj z tego”. Jeżeli niewolnik został chrześcijaninem, miał dalej służyć swojemu panu, ale gdy mógł stać się wolny powinien skorzystać z tej możliwości.Apostoł Paweł ochrzcił jednego zbiegłego niewolnika, którego później odesłał do jego właściciela. W Liście do Filemona 1:16 czytamy: “I to już nie jako sługę, ale więcej niż sługę, bo jako brata umiłowanego, zwłaszcza dla mnie, a tym bardziej dla ciebie, tak według ciała, jak i w Panu”. W przekładzie, który ja cytuję jest tutaj słowo “sługa”, ale w oryginale jest greckie słowo “doúlos” czyli niewolnik. Paweł odesłał tego zbiegłego niewolnika i prosił, aby jego właściciel traktował go jak brat brata.Ze względu na nią wyświadczał Abramowi dobrodziejstwa, tak że miał owce, bydło, osły, niewolników i niewolnice, oślice i wielbłądyhttps://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/12/16Oni odpowiedzieli mu tak: Jeżeli będziesz dobry dla tego ludu i okażesz im życzliwość, i przemówisz do nich słowami łaskawymi, będą twoimi sługami po wszystkie dnihttps://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Kronik/10/7Dawid obsadził też załogami Aram Damasceński, i tak zostali Aramejczycy hołdownikami Dawida, składającymi daninę.

Here is my conversation with Makala Doulos, an educator, polymath, follower of Jesus Christ, and a friend from X. We talk about how a person's worldview is the foundation for their political identity. If he represents MAGA, I do not think the left has anything to fear.

Acts 5:32 — How is one to face the problem of evangelism? Listen to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones as he preached this sermon on Acts 5:32 titled “Witness in the Power of the Spirit,” onboard the OM ship Doulos on September 18, 1978. The church is fighting for life amidst pagan countries. Be certain of the authority of God and not humanity, and replace the fear of humanity with the fear of God. Learn of the two elements that are absolutely necessary for witness. One can be perfectly orthodox and yet still dead. There is great danger in taking the Spirit without the Bible and apostolic witness. Hear of the baptism of the Spirit and the transformation of Peter. To what does the Spirit bear witness? Is it to Himself, humanity, gifts, or something else? He was sent for one great purpose. Learn of one test to know whether a person has been filled with Spirit: do they point to Christ? There is great danger in living off other people's experiences. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses the true understanding of a revival. This is not something that can be announced and planned for: it is the falling of the Holy Spirit upon people in great power.

Doulos.  Slave.  Jesus emptied Himself, took the form of a slave, and did the will of His Father Who sent Him.  The same applies to us.  If we wish to bear fruit in Father's kingdom, we too must choose to be slaves.

We are slaves of Christ, our Master and Owner. We belong to Him. He owns us and all we have (Rom 6:22, 1Cor 7:22). His Spirit within is the seal of His ownership (1Cor 6:19,20, 2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). There's a word for servant (diakonos), and another for slave (doulos), describing our relationship with God (Rom 1:1, Phil 1:1, Titus 1:1, Jas 1:1 2Pet 1:1, Jude 1:1, Rev 1:1). We miss the truth we are His slaves, because doulos is translated as servant, not slave, due to the stigma of human slavery. But this weakens its force. The difference is that although a servant works under his lord's authority, he belongs to himself, but a slave is owned by His master. Human slavery is evil, but in relationship to God, it's right, as He (1) created and (2) purchased us. If you accept His purchase of yourself, receiving Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you belong to Him. So, we must embrace the truth we are His slaves as well as sons, so every blessing He gives still belongs to Him. Then surrender and obedience becomes natural, setting us free from slavery to sin. When I say: “Jesus is my Lord (Kurios)” (Rom 10:9), it doesn't just mean He has the right to tell me what to do (as His servant), but also, He has absolute authority over my being - He owns me! In the Hebrew Old Testament, 2 words are equivalent to Kurios (1) Yahweh, and (2) Adonai (master, owner). Both are names for God, that were translated into Greek as Kurios (Lord), so when we say: “Jesus is Lord” it means He is Yahweh and my Owner. He owns me and all my blessings, so has the right to define my identity and future. All I have is given by Him, but I own nothing, for I am owned by Him. Once we realise He purchased us for Himself, we know as His slave we own nothing, not even the blessings, He richly gives us to possess. A submissive heart to God rejoices in this truth. Sin's essential nature is seen in man's original sin (Gen 3), rejecting God's ownership, not just of the garden (the blessing), but also of himself (v4-6), to establish himself in independence from God, by trying to own (control) everything himself (covetousness). Before, man was spiritually alive, living by God's life, enjoying His blessing. But by claiming ownership, he cut himself off from God, who is life (Gen 2:17). When you reject slavery to God, you are not free, but are a slave of sin, under satan's power. Instead of being a slave of a loving, gracious life-giving God, man put himself under the hand of an evil slave master, and suffers the curse (death). Jesus came to pay the price with His Blood to redeem us from slavery to sin and the hand of the enemy. When we receive Him as Lord and accept His Blood for us, He sets us free from that slavery, to become slaves of Christ - true liberty. We have a choice to be a slave of sin or God (Rom 6). To live a life of liberty, we must deny self-ownership. “If anyone desires to come (follow) after Me (Jesus), let him deny (ownership of) himself (his independent soul life), and take up His Cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save (own) his life will lose it (become a slave to sin), but whoever loses (surrenders control of) his life for My sake will find it (discover real life, under His grace). For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul (to sin)? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matt 16:24-26). For God's life to flow freely in us, we must deny self-ownership, then we'll be free to possess all He wants to give. He wants to bless us with all things, but not so we use them to be independent, for if we act as if we own His blessing & blessings, we cut ourselves off from the Source of life. If we embrace the fact we are poor slaves who own nothing, and submit to His control of us and His blessing, and then we qualify to possess all things. Knowing my poverty makes me totally depend on God and His continual supply of life. Although poor in myself, I'm rich, for in His love, He provides all I need. We need to know God as both (1) El Shaddai and (2) Adonai to receive and abide in His river of grace. (1) El Shaddai is the mighty God, who supplies all our need, who is strong when are weak. When we realize we need Him continually, being poor (owning nothing) and weak (having nothing in ourselves), we turn to Him as our Source, calling on and trusting Him to fill us. As He faithfully continually fills us with Himself, we stay ever thankful for His abundant grace. This is the 1st key to receiving and abiding in His grace. (2) Adonai means Owner and Lord. Knowing He owns us and all He gives us, we surrender ourselves and His grace back to Him, so He has final control, and we live unto Him in obedience. This is the 2nd key to living under grace. Rather than holding on to the safety of the bank, we let go and trust His Spirit to flow through us and carry us along, releasing final control to God. Then all things will be ours and His plan for us will be fulfilled.

“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are NOT your OWN? For you were BOUGHT at a PRICE (the Blood of Christ); therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (property)” (1Cor 6:19-20). We are OWNED by God. So, we are SLAVES of Christ, not just His servants. We belong to Christ, which means all we are and have belongs to Him. Therefore, He has the right to define who we are, and make us into who we are meant to be. His ownership is based on the fact He is our (1) Creator and (2) Redeemer. The Spirit within us is God's seal, signifying we belong to Him (2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). He is the HOLY Spirit, which means He sets us apart to God, by His indwelling Presence. The more we surrender to Him, the greater the Presence of His Spirit within us. He manifests His ownership by possessing us with His Spirit, who sets us apart to God, and the more we are sanctified, the more we are free from sin. There is a paradox that (1) we are OWNED by God (so we own nothing), but (2) POSSESS all things in Christ, as He is a God of grace, who freely and richly gives us all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17). The key to solving this paradox is understanding the difference between OWNERSHIP and POSSESSION, for we can possess a thing, without owning it (2Cor 6:10). So, we are (1) POOR, but also (2) RICH. If we are poor (knowing we own nothing), then we are rich through God's blessing, which is free to flow in our life, enabling us to possess all things. If we embrace the truth that we own nothing, as God owns us, then we qualify to receive every blessing (Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20). I am (1) WEAK in myself, because I do not own my own strength, but I am (2) STRONG in the Lord, for I possess strength by His grace (2Cor 12:10, Joel 3:10). God gave Israel the Promised Land to possess and enjoy by faith. This is a picture of the land of blessings that God has for us. He promises us many good things, that He wants us to possess. But He keeps the ownership of the land. Israel possessed it, but did not own it. He gave them the right of possession as tenant possessors. Israel forgot God was the Owner, took His blessing for granted, and acted independently, as if they were the owners. Likewise, it is a sin to try and own (covet) what God gives us. In Deuteronomy 8, God warned them against pride - forgetting God was their Source of all their blessing, which they only possessed by His grace (v17-18). Because of their idolatry, they were unable to possess and enjoy their land. They disqualified themselves by rejecting His ownership and acting independently from God, as they wanted. Likewise, when we think we are the owners of the things of life, we cut ourselves off from God's blessing. The essence of sin is claiming ownership of and for ourselves, so we can be in control. We do not want to be God's slaves, owned by Him, so He has final control over our lives. We must accept that our life with God is governed by the truth He is our owner and the owner of all things we possess. Thus, we must depend continually on His grace, life and provision. What God gives to us in His grace, is not ours in the sense we now own it, so we can be independent from God. He wants us to possess and enjoy all things, but will not allow us to own them, for He wants us to stay dependent on Him (live by faith). If we try to own them, we block His blessing in our life, by the sin of covetousness. Adonai means absolute Master and Owner. He does not just own the blessings of grace, but also us. We are slaves, owning nothing, but we have a gracious Lord. When embrace this truth (we are poor), then we are blessed, for His blessing can now be fully released in our life, enabling us to possess and enjoy all things in His Kingdom (Luke 6:20). Covetousness limits how much God can bless us. To experience fullness of life, we must surrender to God's ownership of us, His blessing (grace) and blessings (gifts of grace). This is the fundamental principle of being a creature (1st Beatitude) - although He gives us all things to enjoy, we are not their owner, but must continually depend on God for them. To possess His promises, we must surrender ownership, not just of the blessing, but of ourselves to God. We are just the steward (manager) of His blessings. We must trust God, moment by moment, for His grace. As soon as we try and take control, the supply (flow) of grace diminishes. Understanding God as the Owner of all things, including us, changes our whole attitude towards His grace and the blessings of life, making us depend on Him and thank Him. The nature of the flesh is to be discontent with His provision. It wants ownership and independence from God, and tries to take control. Thus, we want the right to define ourselves and control our lives, rather than trusting our Creator and embracing His will for us. God wants us to possess every blessing, but to do this, we must yield all ownership to God.

“Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are NOT your OWN? For you were BOUGHT at a PRICE (the Blood of Christ); therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's (property)” (1Cor 6:19-20). We are OWNED by God. So, we are SLAVES of Christ, not just His servants. We belong to Christ, which means all we are and have belongs to Him. Therefore, He has the right to define who we are, and make us into who we are meant to be. His ownership is based on the fact He is our (1) Creator and (2) Redeemer. The Spirit within us is God's seal, signifying we belong to Him (2Cor 1:22, Eph 1:13, 4:30). He is the HOLY Spirit, which means He sets us apart to God, by His indwelling Presence. The more we surrender to Him, the greater the Presence of His Spirit within us. He manifests His ownership by possessing us with His Spirit, who sets us apart to God, and the more we are sanctified, the more we are free from sin. There is a paradox that (1) we are OWNED by God (so we own nothing), but (2) POSSESS all things in Christ, as He is a God of grace, who freely and richly gives us all things to enjoy (1Tim 6:17). The key to solving this paradox is understanding the difference between OWNERSHIP and POSSESSION, for we can possess a thing, without owning it (2Cor 6:10). So, we are (1) POOR, but also (2) RICH. If we are poor (knowing we own nothing), then we are rich through God's blessing, which is free to flow in our life, enabling us to possess all things. If we embrace the truth that we own nothing, as God owns us, then we qualify to receive every blessing (Matthew 5:3, Luke 6:20). I am (1) WEAK in myself, because I do not own my own strength, but I am (2) STRONG in the Lord, for I possess strength by His grace (2Cor 12:10, Joel 3:10). God gave Israel the Promised Land to possess and enjoy by faith. This is a picture of the land of blessings that God has for us. He promises us many good things, that He wants us to possess. But He keeps the ownership of the land. Israel possessed it, but did not own it. He gave them the right of possession as tenant possessors. Israel forgot God was the Owner, took His blessing for granted, and acted independently, as if they were the owners. Likewise, it is a sin to try and own (covet) what God gives us. In Deuteronomy 8, God warned them against pride - forgetting God was their Source of all their blessing, which they only possessed by His grace (v17-18). Because of their idolatry, they were unable to possess and enjoy their land. They disqualified themselves by rejecting His ownership and acting independently from God, as they wanted. Likewise, when we think we are the owners of the things of life, we cut ourselves off from God's blessing. The essence of sin is claiming ownership of and for ourselves, so we can be in control. We do not want to be God's slaves, owned by Him, so He has final control over our lives. We must accept that our life with God is governed by the truth He is our owner and the owner of all things we possess. Thus, we must depend continually on His grace, life and provision. What God gives to us in His grace, is not ours in the sense we now own it, so we can be independent from God.

In this episode of Doulos, the tragic theme of self-fulfillment in the song "My Way" is discussed from a biblical perspective. Sinatra's song is a celebration of success and self-fulfillment, but at what cost? A shocking CDC statistic that recently came out shows the utter bankruptcy of post-Christian America. In many ways, this song is a tragedy, from the mental and emotional toll it takes to live one's life their own way instead of God's way as it leads to an extremely dark place in the end.

As an apostle, Paul has unique authority and perspective to see and share the truth about who God is, who we are, and how to follow the path of life. In this week's message, we learn that Paul's first word of introduction to the Romans is as a doulos, or slave, of Christ Jesus. Paradoxically, It is only when we are fully surrendered to Christ that we can experience true freedom and transformation.

Malachi 3v18 - Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

Matthew 10v20 - for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

Galatians 1v10 - For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

By the revelation of Jesus Christ, we come to an awareness of who we are. The moment Peter correctly identified Jesus, he found his own identity (Matt. 16: 13-18).“There is an identity you'll only find in God because He is the center of your life”In an exceedingly profound sermon titled ‘Who is Jesus, and Who Are We?' The true identity of a believer goes beyond the ‘Christian' tag—DOULOS; the distinction between Doulos and the modern definition of ‘Slave'; and the believer's responsibility as one bought with a price. The believer is both a son and ‘Doulos' (slave/servant) to God. Paul in his spiritual consciousness repeatedly introduced himself as a slave of God (Phil. 1:1) even though the term carries a manifestly negative connotation. Why?1. As believers we were bought with a price (1 Corinth. 6:19)2. Our ultimate goal becomes pleasing God (Gal. 1:10)However, there are stark differences between the contemporary and Biblical definitions of a slave — as well as there are similarities.In more modern days, slavery:* involves kidnapping (against Exodus 21:16)* is based on racial discrimination (against Lev. 19:33-34)* involves sexual harassment of women (against Deut. 22:25)* entails being bound and overworkedContrary to the aforementioned, a slave in Biblical context was entitled to a day off a week (Ex. 23:12) had special holidays (Lev. 23:7; Deut. 10:17) and special treatments by guideline (Ex. 21:20-26)Who then are slaves in the Bible?* debtors who couldn't pay back* Stealing could make one a slave (Ex. 22:1)* a poor person could wilfully surrender himself to work for a master (Deut. 15:11)Conclusively, God's rules are non-negotiable, Christ's sacrifice bestows upon us a responsibility to no longer live for ourselves, but for Him who died for us! (2 Corinthians 5:15)

Jesus came into the world, ultimately, for one reason: to die a horrific death. He talked about it often while He walked the earth and today's episode discusses 5 specific statements He made regarding His death on the cross.

On today's episode, Lindsay joins Nick & Seth to talk about what it means to be an athlete who is a servant or slave to Christ.
