Podcasts about Faithfulness

Guest speaker Megan Fate Marshman joins Pastor Chad to talk about what it really means to trust God. Even when we hear God, we often think we walk alone, but we don't need to. God promises to be there, no matter where we are or what we're going through. We grow through our pain when we open our lives to trust Him. He prepares us for the future and leads us through the trials we don't see coming. God uses the good and the bad, and in it all, our greatest strength is when we call out to Him. Subscribe to receive our latest videos!Website: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sunvalleycc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sunvalleycc/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sunvalleyccTo support Sun Valley and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.sunvalleycc.com/givingGod loves you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what's been done to you.

A Memorial Day message by Max Lucado.

Our heart is to establish a Dwelling Place—not just a good church. The difference between a good church and a Dwelling Place is who it's built for. A good church is built for people to gather. A Dwelling Place is built for God to come and remain. It's all about His Presence.   We choose faithfulness to His promise. Faithfulness to His Presence. Faithfulness to His heart. Faithfulness to His house.   We are prioritizing His heart, His Presence, and His voice. We are prioritizing His glory, His beauty, and intimacy with Him.   We don't do this to become His Dwelling Place— We do it because we already are.

What do you know about the kingdom of God? One interesting and exciting insight is that it was the central teaching of Jesus. “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Matthew 4:17. Despite the kingdom of heaven (or God) being so central, many Christians have no idea of its significance. In this new sermon series called The Shift, we are going to look at the gospel of Matthew, who focused more on this subject than any of the other gospel writers. We will discover that the Kingdom of God is at odds with our world, and one of power, beauty and radical worth, ruled by Jesus Christ the King of all kings. Yet living under the rule of a king, even if it is God, strikes against our instincts. After all, we are Americans, liberated from the English Monarchs. What freedom awaits the Christian who begins to shift their focus and allegiance to live for the kingdom that endures forever. We begin by looking at the birth of the King of this kingdom and learn to sit at His feet as His disciples. Follow us as we follow the disciple Matthew who shows us the majesty of King Jesus and the radical life of living in His kingdom!

Discernment: Cruciformity is Active, Not Passive. On this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford focus on discernment in faith, the essence of Christian identity, and the importance of critiquing ideologies rather than individuals. They emphasize the need for community engagement and humanizing conversations across divides, particularly in the context of immigration and societal issues. Further, Tim and Mike explore the complexities of homelessness, systemic issues, and the role of faith in addressing societal challenges. They discuss the importance of understanding the root causes of homelessness, the church's responsibility in promoting human flourishing, and the significance of inclusivity at Jesus' table. The dialogue also delves into the church's political involvement, the concept of cruciformity, and the challenges of navigating emotional overload while advocating for justice. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for a Christ-like approach to engagement in the world.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you.” John 14:27So how does the peace that Jesus gives you differ from the apparent peace that the world gives? We all want peace in life. The desire for interior peace is written upon our very nature. And though many people make choices that lead to interior disorder and even chaos, those choices are often made out of a confused sense of what actually provides fulfillment.For example, those who choose to feed an addiction to drugs or alcohol often began that addiction out of a misguided desire for happiness. The temporary fix experienced gives the temporary sense of well-being. But objectively speaking, it is very clear that the temporary “peace” one receives from these actions leads ultimately to a loss of the very thing they desire. And when these choices become addictions, the person often finds themself trapped in a downward spiral.There are also countless other ways in which people find themselves seeking satisfaction and fulfillment in life. Money, promiscuity, cheating, selfishness, anger, deception, and the like are all actions that are done with the intent of some satisfaction. Our daily goal must be to unmask those deceptive actions so that we can see them for what they are and for the fruit that they produce. These are clearly among the many ways that the “world” offers us peace.When it comes to true happiness in life, the gift of true interior peace is one of the clearest signs that we are on the right track and are making the right decisions. When we choose the will of God each and every day, those choices may be difficult and require much initial sacrifice. Love can be hard. Faithfulness to the moral law of God can be challenging. And refusing to sin is difficult. But choosing the will of God throughout our day, every day, will begin to produce within us the consoling and sustaining gift of the peace of Christ.True peace produces strength. It leads to interior integrity and wholeness. It produces clarity of thought and certitude in convictions. God's peace leads to more peace. It leads to choices based on well-thought-out actions of love. Peace leads us to the will of God, and the will of God leads to peace. The cyclical effect is exponential and is one of the clearest guides to happiness in life. Reflect, today, upon whether you truly have peace in your heart. Do you recognize the still, strong and sustaining presence of God within your soul? Do your daily choices produce greater integrity of heart and clarity of mind? Do you find that you have joy and calm, even in the midst of life's greatest challenges? Seek out this peace, for if you do, you will be seeking out the good God Who produces this glorious gift within your heart. My Lord of true peace, You and Your holy will are the only path to the deepest fulfillment of all of my desires in life. When I make poor choices that lead to disorder and confusion, help me to turn to You with all my heart. Please unmask any deception I struggle with and give me the strength I need to seek You and Your peace alone. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Heinrich Hofmann, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

This week we're beginning our foray into Paul's letter to the Galatians with Galatians 1:13-17 and 2:11-21. This is a difficult text, particularly for an interfaith podcast, as Paul pushes back against the Judaism of his past as he wrestles with the significance of Christ for the Gentiles. As we read, though, we begin to realize that what Paul rejects is not Judaism, per se, but rather against the sort of religious striving that makes a person's worth before God dependent on our own actions rather than on God's gracious commitment to us. For Paul, and for Christians today, that graciousness takes the form of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who lives in and through us, insisting that indeed we are enough, just as we are.

Can God work through you to share the Gospel? In this special message celebrating Woodside's 70th anniversary, Senior Pastor Chris Brooks illustrates the evangelism of the early church through the lens of Acts 10:34-43. Pastor Chris reminds us that God can use anyone while encouraging us to live in boldness for Christ, right where we are. Listen in to discover why sharing the Gospel isn't just for pastors or missionaries, but for every believer, everywhere.

Pastor Perry Shockley | BFBC: Williston | Sunday 5.18.25

What do you know about the kingdom of God? One interesting and exciting insight is that it was the central teaching of Jesus. “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'” Matthew 4:17. Despite the kingdom of heaven (or God) being so central, many Christians have no idea of its significance. In this new sermon series called The Shift, we are going to look at the gospel of Matthew, who focused more on this subject than any of the other gospel writers. We will discover that the Kingdom of God is at odds with our world, and one of power, beauty and radical worth, ruled by Jesus Christ the King of all kings. Yet living under the rule of a king, even if it is God, strikes against our instincts. After all, we are Americans, liberated from the English Monarchs. What freedom awaits the Christian who begins to shift their focus and allegiance to live for the kingdom that endures forever. We begin by looking at the birth of the King of this kingdom and learn to sit at His feet as His disciples. Follow us as we follow the disciple Matthew who shows us the majesty of King Jesus and the radical life of living in His kingdom!

Galatians 5:22. A life marked by overflowing faithfulness holds fast to commitment—even in seasons of confusion, silence, and struggle. By tracing Habakkuk's honest questions and steadfast trust, we're reminded that breakthrough doesn't always mean escape; sometimes, it means staying put and running to God.

Forty and Fearless | Celebrating 40 Years of God's Faithfulness at CEFCJoin us as we celebrate 40 incredible years of God's goodness and faithfulness! This milestone isn't just a look back—it's also a time to look forward. Inspired by Caleb's courage in Numbers 14, we're not asking for comfort—we're asking for a challenge. Like Caleb, in Joshua 14, we're saying, “Give us the mountain!”As we reflect on God's unwavering faithfulness, we put our focus on God rather than giants and we say with Jesus the best is yet to come.

In this sermon, Dr. Bob Shelton expounds Psalm 34, emphasizing that God alone saves, keeps, and satisfies His people. He reminds believers that salvation comes through Christ alone, that angels protect the faithful, and that no matter the troubles or dangers, God's promises remain sure and steadfast.

Katlyn Wyble | Respond Women's RetreatIn this session, Katlyn teaches through what it means to live faithfully in the tension between the "already" and the "not yet" of God's promises.When trials come, it's easy to question God's faithfulness—but His Word reminds us that he never forsakes his saints. She discusses the importance of daily putting off the old self and putting on the new to stand firm against the enemy. Faithfulness isn't just for the big moments—it's cultivated through small acts of obedience. As we wait on Jesus, we need to ask: What good can we do right now, right where we are?Remaining faithful in our current season is part of God's greater plan. Walking consistently with the Lord means we grow in faithfulness, even when we don't immediately see the fruit.Respond Women's RetreatPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

Not Righteous Professing Christians Are "Whitewashed Tombstones" - Pretty on the Outside but Dead on the Inside MESSAGE SUMMARY: A righteousness, that comes from your being in communion with the Holy Spirit, is not like a professing Christian who is really just a "whitewashed tombstone" -- pretty on the outside but dead on the inside. Rather, followers of Jesus are called to live righteous lives, as we are instructed by the Psalmist in Psalms 37:39: “The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.". Also, Paul tells us in Romans 1:17: “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.'”. In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.". In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us, as His followers, that we are different and blessed; and these blessings flow from your living a righteous life in Him. Allow the Holy Spirit to create in you a clean and pure heart.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge that I prefer to ignore and deny my pain and loss. I struggle with seeing how resurrection life can come out of death. Grant me the courage to pay attention to what you are doing, and to wait on you — even when everything in me wants to run away. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 114). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

In this episode of Cogitations, Tony Bruin confronts the confusion between obedience and legalism. Drawing from Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5, he lays out God's revealed system for church discipline and warns against the cultural influences—feminism, emotionalism, and therapeutic softness—that have led many churches to neglect it. He addresses the creeping entitlement behind objections to “enforcement” and defends the authority of Scripture against modern spiritual subjectivism. Faithfulness demands courage. Obedience is not legalism. Church discipline is not cruelty—it is love in action. This is a wake-up call to churches that have fallen silent out of fear of backlash or discomfort. If the church will not act on what God commands, then it ceases to be the church.
