Podcasts about exaltation

He was born around 190 to pagan parents in North Africa. Before baptism he was distinguished in Carthage as a teacher of philosophy and rhetoric. He came to faith in Christ and was baptized at a young age; as soon as he became a Christian he abandoned his prestigious teacher's position, sold his many possessions and gave all his wealth to the poor. He was ordained presbyter in 247, Bishop of Carthage in 248. He was known for his gentleness and paternal care for his flock, combined with firm opposition to heretics. His extensive writings still guide the Church today.   For his confession of Christ, he was beheaded under the Emperor Valerian on September 14; since that is the date of the Exaltation of the Cross, his feast is kept today. At the time of his execution he left twenty-five gold pieces (a huge sum) for the executioner who beheaded him.

As we now, from a liturgical standpoint, begin to focus on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Father and Annie discuss the Sunday readings about the costs - and rewards - of discipleship.

In our modern world, we are currently facing the twin tsunamis of AI-mania and identity ideology… What does the Bible have to say about all this and how do we think biblically on these most essential issues? In the face of such confusion, how do we discover and stand on truth? Where can we turn […] The post Self-Exaltation, or The Son of God appeared first on Rockpointe Community Church.

I got a tour inside the San Diego Latter-day Saint temple and now I'm following up with an interview with Neal Walton who is a stake president in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Diego. Apparently, I was the first Christian apologist who'd ever shown up with a film crew and asked for an interview. We worked through the differences plainly. The Trinity. Whether God the Father has a physical body. Baptism for the dead. Faith and works. Exaltation versus salvation. Whether Jesus is the uncreated, eternal God. Neither of us pretended those are small, and neither of us tried to win.

Art historian Liz Lev joins Anna Mitchell to explore the life, legacy, and faith of Saint Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great and the woman traditionally credited with discovering the True Cross. Through three remarkable works of art—from Paolo Veronese’s Dream of Saint Helena to the monumental statue in St. Peter’s Basilica and Tiepolo’s Exaltation of the Holy Cross—Liz reveals how artists have captured Helena’s pilgrimage, her devotion, and the enduring importance of the Cross in Christian history.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Read the account of Christ's holy Transfiguration (Metamorphosis in Greek) in Matthew ch. 17, Mark ch. 9, and Luke ch. 9. Appearing clothed in Light on Mt Tabor, the Savior fulfilled his promise to His disciples that "there are some standing here who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom" (Mt 16:28). Christ's Transfiguration is the image of the future state of the righteous, of which He spoke when He said "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun" (Mt 13:43). According to the Church's tradition, the Transfiguration occurred forty days before His Crucifixion; for this reason the Transfiguration is celebrated forty days before the Exaltation of the Cross.

The sermon explores the theological significance of Christ's exaltation following his humiliation and death, focusing on Philippians 2:9-11. It emphasizes that Jesus currently reigns with absolute authority over creation, the church, and all nations from his position at the right hand of God. This sovereign rule guarantees the ultimate success of the gospel mission and the expansion of his kingdom across the earth. The preacher encourages believers to find comfort and confidence in this reality, recognizing that Christ's power ensures the fulfillment of his redemptive purposes. Consequently, Christians are called to live with hope and zeal, trusting in the victorious King who controls all history.

One day, Jesus will rid the world of wickedness and bring peace to this troubled planet.

Psalm 145 declares that God is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His works. That truth is easy to affirm in stories of victory but much harder in seasons of suffering. Yet Scripture calls believers to yield like clay in the Potter's hands, trusting that the same God who rules over creation also lovingly shapes every circumstance. Jesus modeled this perfect surrender in Gethsemane, praying, “Not my will, but yours be done.” God's righteousness cannot be accepted only when it is comfortable. The same righteous God who saves, justifies, forgives, and restores also works through trials for His purposes. His righteousness is always joined with His kindness, meeting weakness with grace and sustaining His people through every hardship. Like Paul, believers can endure with hope, confident that God's strength is made perfect in weakness and that He remains faithful in both the mountains and the valleys.

Philippians 2:10-11

This conversation explores the LDS view of the Fall, sin, atonement, grace, works, assurance, and eternal progression. Mormonism often uses Christian language, but the meanings behind those words are radically different from historic biblical Christianity. Jack and Grayson compare Mormonism's teaching on Adam and Eve, original sin, ordinances, temple rites, baptism for the dead, and exaltation with the biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. At the heart of the episode is a major contrast: Mormonism points man toward self-exaltation, while biblical Christianity points sinners to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Topics include: The Mormon view of the Fall Original sin and human guilt in Adam LDS theology of atonement and Gethsemane Grace, works, and assurance Baptism for the dead Eternal progression and exaltation Why Christ's finished work is the only true hope Connect Website & Blog: www.chorusinthechaos.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chorusinthec...

A literal translation of this passage is "do nothing out of a hunger for glory". He pushing hard against the Roman culture of self exaltation. That same spirit is hard at work today in our culture. But the upside down gospel of Jesus says that if we seek humility then Christ will exalt us! He will lift us up!!! So wake up. Jesus is calling you to die to yourself and follow him. Will you answer?

As we continue our discussion on the state of exaltation, we now turn our attention to Christ's resurrection.

Get your free Vedic birth chart and see your own Sun sign at https://www.quietmindastrology.comOne of the most important things you can learn about yourself is your Sun sign in Vedic astrology. While many people look at the Sun as just a personality trait, in the Vedic tradition, it is the foundation of your core identity—your soul. In this episode, I share how your Sun placement influences the four aims of life, particularly your physical health and your sense of Dharma, or purpose. We explore what happens when this energy is out of balance—whether it's deficient and lacking confidence, or excessive and becoming controlling—and how you can realign with your natural sovereignty to lead a life full of Ojas (vitality) and inspiration.I hope this episode helps you connect with your inner light and start leading your life with more clarity, confidence, and alignment.QUOTES"The astronomical term for the Sun is Sol, which is also the word for the soul. The Sun represents your soul, your essence.""When your Sun energy is aligned, you're leading with confidence—leading yourself and leading others—and you feel full of vitality.""We don't want to be deficient or excessive with anything in astrology. We want to find what is aligned.""The Sun shows where you are a light for others and where you are bringing light to people's lives.""Dharma is your calling, your direction, your aim.

Now that we have discussed the state of humiliation in detail, we now turn our attention to the state of exaltation.

In this episode, we look at the various stages of the state of humiliation, namely Christ's conception and birth, his life, and suffering and death.

In the face of oppression and under the threat of death, Jesus remained silent. In today's episode, Rabbi reveals how prophecy in Isaiah 53 points to Jesus' death and how the Messiah's exaltation still impacts believers today. **** FIND JESUS - https://djj.show/YTAFindJesus **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate

One day every person and power will recognize Jesus is over all things. The church is made up of those who recognize and respond to Jesus' authority now.  Teacher - Scott Kenworthy

The resurrection of Jesus is the turning point of the story—death is only half the sentence. The cross pays for sin, but the empty tomb declares victory, revealing Jesus as alive, reigning, and making all things right. This reality reshapes the human condition: death loses its final word, evil won't ultimately win, and the bold transformation of the first disciples points to the resurrection's power. Because Jesus is risen, forgiveness is real, the Holy Spirit empowers true change, and believers are brought into a new family with shared purpose. The mission continues now bringing healing, reconciliation, and hope while we await Christ's return. The call is simple and immediate: turn to Jesus, trust his rule, and step into a life marked by forgiveness, Spirit-filled power, community, and lasting joy.

Saint Mary was born in Egypt, and at the age of twelve, ran away to the city of Alexandria, where she lived an extremely dissolute life. She was, she said, driven by an insatiable desire and an irrepressible passion, and that she mainly lived by begging supplemented by spinning flax. After seventeen years of this lifestyle, she traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. She undertook the journey as a sort of "anti-pilgrimage," stating that she hoped to find in the pilgrim crowds at Jerusalem, even more partners in her lust. When she tried to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the celebration, she was barred from doing so by an unseen force. Realizing that this was because of her impurity, she was struck with remorse, and on seeing an icon of the Theotokos outside the church, she prayed for forgiveness, and promised to give up the world and become an aesthetic. Then she attempted again to enter the church, and this time was permitted in. After venerating the Relic of the True Cross, she returned to the icon to give thanks, and heard a voice telling her, "If you cross the Jordan, you will find a glorious rest." She immediately went to the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist on the bank of the River Jordan, where she received Holy Communion. The next morning, she crossed the Jordan, and retired to the desert to live the rest of her life as a hermit. She took with her only three loaves of bread, and once they were gone, lived only on what she could find in the wilderness. Approximately one year before her death, she recounted her life to Saint Zosimas of Palestine, who encountered her in the desert. When he unexpectedly met her in the desert, she was completely naked and almost unrecognizable as human. She asked Zosimas to toss her his mantle to cover herself with, and then she narrated her life story to him, manifesting marvelous clairvoyance. She asked him to meet her at the banks of the Jordan on Holy Thursday of the following year, and bring her Holy Communion. When he fulfilled her wish, she crossed the river to get to him by walking on the surface of the water, and received Holy Communion, telling him to meet her again in the desert the following Lent. The next year, Zosimas traveled to the same spot where he first met her, some 20 days journey from his monastery, and found her lying there dead. According to an inscription written in the sand next to her head, she had died on the very night he had given her communion, and had been somehow miraculously transported to the place he found her and her body preserved incorrupt. He buried her body with the assistance of a passing lion. On returning to the monastery, he related her life story to the brethren, and it was preserved among them as oral tradition until it was written down by Saint Sophronius.

Wavemakers Podcaster Cruise - https://www.cwicmedia.com/wavemakers Stating that, "God will meet you where you are" is a truth, an important truth. But it is a half truth in the context of Exaltation. The "Peace" movement, even called by some scholars, "JustPeace," unanchors from the justice and judgment of God individually, to social justice.
