Podcasts about exhorting

Are you an encourager? Do you like to exhort people or come alongside them to help? It is an excellent gift if you do. How you coach people and direct them is essential. The Apostle Paul leaves us a great example of how to do this. This will be a good time to sharpen your spiritual coaching skills.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 6:1-6 - Jesus departed from there and came to His native place, accompanied by His disciples. When the sabbath came He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. They said, “Where did this Man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given Him? What mighty deeds are wrought by His Hands! Is He not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and the Brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him. Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house.” So He was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying His Hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

Luke 3:10-18 The crowds asked John the Baptist, “What should we do?” He said to them in reply, “Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.” Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” He answered them, “Stop collecting more than what is prescribed.” Soldiers also asked him, “And what is it that we should do?” He told them, “Do not practice extortion, do not falsely accuse anyone, and be satisfied with your wages.” Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Christ. John answered them all, saying, “I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people.

Reasons for Exhorting [Young] Men The danger behind allowing the formation of habits. It is difficult to change a person's hearts once habits are formed. Habits have deep roots. Once sin is allowed to settle in your heart, it will not be turned out at your bidding. Custom becomes second nature, and its chains are not easily broken. Habits are like stones rolling downhill – the further they roll, the faster and more ungovernable is their course.  Habits, like tress, are strengthened by age. A boy may bend an oak when it is a sapling – a hundred men cannot rootit up when it is a full-grown. So it is with habits; the older the stronger – the longer they have held possession, the harder they will be to cast out. They grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength. Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination. Believe me, you cannot stand still in your souls – you are either getting nearer to God or further off. Habits of good or evil are daily strengthening in your hearts.Ignorance of the devil is not bliss. Young men, beware of being taken by the devil's snares. He will try to throw dust in your eyes, and prevent you from seeing anything in its true colors. He would eagerly make you think that evil is good, and good is evil. He willpaint, cover with gold, and dress up sin, in order to make you fall in love with it. He will exalt the pleasures of wickedness – but he will hide from you the sting. He will lift up before your eyes the cross and its painfulness – but will keep out of sight the eternal crown. He will promise you everything, as he did to Christ, if you will only serve Him. He will even help you to wear a form of Christianity, if you will only neglect the power.

This is message 15 in the Labor in the Church series Acts 14:21-28 Paul emphasizes the core responsibilities of missionaries as they fulfill their mission. First, they preach the gospel, sharing the message of Christ with the people. Then, they disciple new believers, helping them develop obedience to Christ. Missionaries also confirm the faith of these disciples, ensuring their continued growth and accountability. They establish church leadership by ordaining elders, and finally, they entrust the new church to God's care, stepping back to allow God's work to continue. In essence, missionaries are itinerant church planters, dedicated too stablishing and nurturing new churches.

Introduction to J.C. Ryle and the work for Exhorting [Young] Men 1. J.C. Ryle's BackgroundIntroduction: J.C. Ryle, a prominent Anglican bishop, theologian, and writer from the 19th century. the first bishopof Liverpool. He was an ardent defender of Evangelicalism in the face of opposition. J. C. Ryle had a gift for clearcommunication to the working class, and his legacy of exhortation and evangelism continues to speak volumestoday.  His insights continue to inspire and challenge Christians today.Q: What has been your personal exposure to J.C. Ryle?Part 1: Early Years & Theological Convictions Ryle was born in 1816 in Macclesfield, England.Ryle summed up the spiritual condition of his family and childhood as follows:The plain truth is that neither in my own family nor among the Hurts or Arkwrights with whom I was most mixed upwhen young can I remember that there was a whit of what may be called a real spiritual religion. There was literallynothing to make us young people thorough Christians. We never heard the gospel preached on Sunday and vitalChristianity was never brought before us by anybody from the beginning of the year to the end or on a weekday.In his autobiography Ryle mentions a number of significant events that he believed the Holy Spirit used in a special way to convert him. Two important one to highlight1. The first was a rebuke from a friend.2. The Second was the start of a new Church and it's Evangelical ministry; St. George's in Sutton.  The beginning of Ryle's Christian pilgrimage was not easy. He had no spiritual mentors or guides. He was left to “fight outeverything” for himself and, as a result, “made sad blunders” - Perhaps reason for him to write “Thoughts for Young Men”2. J.C. Ryle's EvangelicalismRyle's theology is best described as Protestant, Reformed, Puritan, Evangelical, Anglican, and Premillennial.Ryle regularly and repeatedly identified himself as an “evangelical,” and evangelical religion, according to Ryle, wascharacterized by five leading features.1. First, evangelicals assign absolute supremacy to the Holy Scripture and regard it as the only rule for faith and practice.2. Second, evangelicals emphasize the doctrine of human sinfulness and corruption and the need for a radical cure.3. Third, evangelicals attach paramount importance to the person and work of Christ and the necessity of faith in Him.4. Fourth, evangelicals stress the importance of the inward work of the Spirit in the heart of the believer and an experimental acquaintance with it.5. Finally, evangelicals insist that the inward work of the Spirit will always be manifested outwardly by a holy life.For Ryle, these points and the importance of the diligent use of the means of grace. These included Bible reading, privateprayer, regularly attending public worship, regularly hearing the preaching of God's word, and regularly receiving theLord's Supper constituted the essence of the evangelical gospel and the Christian faith.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Exhorting from Ruth 3, Israel urged the Seminary community in this chapel message to seek their deepest rest in Christ, just as Ruth found repose and refuge in her kinsman-redeemer Boaz centuries ago. Through this biblical parallel, Israel reminds us that total relief is found when we wholly entrust our weary souls to our Lord, as Ruth entrusted herself entirely to Boaz's care and provision when she lay at his feet.
