Podcasts about exousia

The Bible consistently warns the church of false teachers, false prophets, doctrines of demons, and calls for the church to contend and watch.  Yet, the church tends to remain silent or gets seduced by these doctrines.  Every New Testament book with the exception of one (Philemon) makes reference to false teachers or false prophets yet, it is seldom talked about in the pulpits which leads to some Christians being led astray from God's plumb line.

John 19:1-27We read John 19 closely and keep running into the same question: who really holds power when empire, religion, and fear all collide. We track how John's Greek wording and narrative details reshape what we think we already know about Pilate, the charges against Jesus, and the meaning of spiritual authority. • Jesus' “kingdom not of this world” as a rejection of political definitions of God's reign • Purple robe and crown of thorns as mocking symbols of royalty and insurgency • Why “a son of God” may fit the Greek better than “the Son of God” • How John's use of “Jews” often points to opposing leaders rather than an entire people • Exousia as power and authority with real-world implications for conscience • Pilate's fear and political vulnerability under pressure from accusations of disloyalty to the emperor • Letter versus Spirit as a way religious power can reverse good and evil • Ambiguities in “handed him over” and “Hebrew” meaning Hebrew or Aramaic • The inscription in multiple languages and why INRI appears in Christian art • "Woman” as a polite address (like "ma'am") and Christ's tenderness of care on the cross The quote in our introduction is from what is commonly referred to as the Quaker Peace Testimony.  A more accurate name would be A DECLARATION FROM THE HARMLESS AND INNOCENT PEOPLE OF GOD.  It was presented to King Charles II of England in 1660.  A complete list of our podcasts,  organized into topics, is available on our website.We will be publishing video interviews with Conservative Friends on YouTube.  See our YouTube channel.  The first interview is with Susan Smith. To learn more about Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), please visit  ohioyearlymeeting.org.

John 17:1-19We walk slowly through John 17 and let the Greek sharpen what Jesus is praying for as he speaks about glory, authority, eternal life, and unity. We connect word studies like doxa, exousia, parousia, logos, cosmos, and hagiadzo to Quaker concerns about the presence of Christ, the true church, and being sent into the world without being shaped by it. • Heaven as sky and as spiritual reality in the Greek word ouranos • Glory and glorify as honor and as God's manifested presence linked to shekinah • Eternal life defined as knowing and experiencing the only true God • Authority exousia as right, power, domain, and sphere of rule • Parousia as presence and why translating it as coming can mislead • Christ and the logos in relation to creation and pre-existence • Cosmos as creation, humanity, and worldliness depending on context • name as essence and character, not only a label • unity as Jesus's repeated prayer and a warning against sectarianism • Sanctify hagiadzo as set apart, purified, and made holy in a Hebrew sense • Quaker language of being favored and grace charis as divine favor, not flattery The quote in our introduction was paraphrased from the Eleventh Proposition of Barclay's Apology. A complete list of our podcasts,  organized into topics, is available on our website.To learn more about Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative) of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), please visit  ohioyearlymeeting.org.

Minister Marshall delivers a message on taking the knowledge of the Word and making it applicable to our lives.

Eccoci qua! Bentornati a Life in the Garden! In questo episodio è tornata a trovarci una grande amica del podcast, con cui ho registrato tanti episodi dedicati all'arte: Clara Rita Stevanato ! In questa occasione Clara ci parla di un pittore finlandese poco conosciuto, Pekka Halonen (1865-1933) e in particolare di una recente mostra che lei ha visitato a Parigi al Petit Palais dal titolo "Pekka Halonen: un inno alla Finlandia".Clara ci racconta della vita di questo pittore, della sua formazione parigina e dell'incontro con Paul Gauguin e ancora del suo ritorno in Finlandia, dove si ritira, con la sua numerosa famiglia, in una casa-atelier immersa nella natura, lungo le rive di un lago. Qui dipinge molti paesaggi selvaggi dove spesso la neve, in tutte le sue forme è la protagonista.Non vi anticipo altro, buon ascolto!Per supportare l'episodio potete condividerlo con le amiche e gli amici e lasciare cinque stelle di valutazione sulla pagina Life in the Garden su Spotify.Vi ricordo che potete ascoltare altri episodi dedicati all'arte realizzati con Clara: l'episodio #16 dedicato a Monet, il #20 dedicato a Van Gogh e ancora la mini-serie dedicato al Giardino Impressionista con gli episodi #28, #29, #30 e #33.Trovata Clara su Instagram come @lajeunebotaniste e vi ricordo anche il suo blog alla pagina lajeunebotaniste.com.

Philippians 4:1-8, Matthew 11:28-30

The book of Philippians has a common theme of Joy throughout the book.  We all face anxiety and worry in this life but what do we do when we experience those things. Paul instructed the church at Philippi on how to handle those emotions in chapter 4.

This morning, we were called to recognize and confidently walk in the divine authority (“Exousia”) given by God through Christ, with an emphasis that true spiritual power is rooted in humility, compassion, and total dependence on the Father’s will. Walking through the book of Matthew and drawing from the life and teachings of Jesus, we were challenged to reject self-serving authority and instead use our God-given right and might to serve others, confront spiritual opposition, and bring healing and deliverance. This message urged us to embrace sacrifice, deny ourselves, and boldly act in faith—knowing that our authority is meant to build up others, advance God’s kingdom, and make disciples who display the same heavenly authority, all while trusting that God will equip, strengthen, and be present with us as we go.

Unfortunately, fear seems to be considered a sin among Christians which causes some to lie about the fear they experience.  We are not to embrace fear, but we don't ignore it either.  Many great people in the Bible such as Moses, Daniel, Joshua, David, and Paul experienced fear.  Yet, some in the church are frowned upon when they admit they experience fear.  Fear is NOT the opposite of faith, but it can be a by product of what is the opposite of faith.  In this message we look at fear and how the Bible lets us know that there is a good fear to have.  The good fear can help us to overcome the natural fears we may face.

This week we continue a teaching that started during our midweek Bible study on Faith.  In order to please God we have to stand in faith.  In order to stand in faith we may have to separate from some people to include other believers if they try and dissuade us from being in faith.

This week we discuss how we have to renew our minds as we keep up with the Holy Spirit.  There are three types of people the person who is not born again, the spiritually mature Christian, and the carnal Christian.  We have to look at which one we relate to.  We tend to celebrate people who are carnal Christians but that was not something to be proud of when we read the Bible.  What will help us to go from being a carnal Christian to a spiritually mature Christian is keeping up with the Holy Spirit and renewing our soul.

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 1001

Jesus is the head and we are the body.  If Jesus said His Kingdom is not of this world, then our Kingdom should not be of this world.  The world's kingdom focuses on power, authoritarian rule, money, prestige, and other things however, Jesus said His Kingdom is based on truth.

As Christians we cannot have truth and no love nor can we have love and no truth, but we must have both.  We cannot have partial truth and partial love.  The truth and love we are supposed to have must be based on what the Bible says.  The world's truth and love is conditional, produces conflict, and is confrontational.

This week we take a look at Gideon a person who had no experience in war, but God called him to lead Israel as a Judge and into battle against their enemies.  Gideon was able to lead Israel because the Lord was with him.  God was patient with Gideon and helped him grow into the person to be able to lead Israel in the time of their need.

This week we learn about God being with Joshua.  In studying the promotion of Joshua we learn that a person may be strong in faith in one area, but that doesn't mean they will be strong in faith in another area.  After the death of Moses Joshua became fearful and God intervened and came to encourage him.Numbers 27, Joshua 1

This week we take a look at how God was with Joseph.  Sometimes we can feel like we are doing everything right and things still come against us.  It doesn't mean the Lord is not with us, but He in turn is with us while we are going through the storm and the hardships in life.  As long as we are in this fallen world we will face opposition.  Joseph faced rejection throughout his life even though it appears he did everything the right way.  On this side of the cross we can see that God was with Joseph, but what about Joseph when he was being rejected, betrayed. lied on, and thrown into prison.  Did he see God was with him through his storm? Do we know God is with us while we are going through the storm?

If you are going through or have experienced any struggles, depression, or any spiritual attacks then this is a message you will want to hear from Elder Phil.

Greg lays out the multiple definitions of the word Authority or "Exousia" in Hebrew, and how Jesus is the ultimate authority and perfect theology. Everything and everyone we encounter should be looked at through the lens of Christ and the not the other way around.
