Podcasts about Firstborn

Studying the use of the Greek word prototokos, being translated "firstborn" in Colossians 1:15, we see that it is impossible to conclude that Jesus is a created being. Rather, He is the first of His kind, firstborn of all creation to be raised up from the dead. He set the pattern for those who follow Him by faith, which means we will follow after Him in that same way!

(09-08-2026) 我们与初生的关系 Our relation with first born t by CCC Sermons

(Exodus 11:1-10) We reflect on Israel's status as the First Born of God and the devastation that is to come to Egypt. Things start off light, and end a little heavy.

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. (Heb 12:22-24 KJV)

Cain, the First Blade & the Mark of Cain ExplainedIt's 1863, Confederate demons are terrified, and a man with a jawbone and a leather jacket just kicked in a door. That's our cold open, and we are already locked in.Dean and Crowley hit the road together as the world's least likely hunting duo, tracking down the First Blade, the only weapon that can kill Abaddon. The trail leads them to a crotchety hunter named Tara (who shares way too much information about John Winchester) and eventually to a very charming beekeeper (who turns out to be the father of murder himself). Cain is retired, unbothered, and shucking corn while demons get their asses handed to them in the next room. Berly and LA are smitten, and they are not hiding it.Back at the bunker, Sam and Castiel are working on extracting the last traces of Gadreel's grace, and somehow a peanut butter and jelly sandwich becomes the emotional thesis statement of the episode.The lore this week covers the real biblical Cain: the first murder, the mark, the curse, and how the world's original problem child accidentally kickstarted urban civilization and the music industry. It tracks.Drop a comment with your thoughts, and if you're enjoying the show, a review helps other fans find their way to the bunker.

What does it truly mean to be “the firstborn” in Scripture? Is it simply about being the first biological child physically born, or is there a deeper covenantal meaning woven throughout the Word of Yahuah?In this episode, we will dive into the biblical concept of the firstborn (bekhor) and discover that throughout Scripture, Yahuah repeatedly chooses people who were not first according to human order—but were chosen according to His sovereign purpose. From Esau and Jacob, Reuben and Joseph, to Manasseh and Ephraim, Scripture reveals a pattern: the birthright is not ultimately about human position, but about the one appointed to carry the responsibility, inheritance, and covenant purpose of the firstborn.The mystery of the firstborn reveals a deeper, covenantal pattern woven throughout Scripture. Let's explore it!

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers. And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the One who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For Your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:28-39)

More on a fetus that extends a limb from its mother's womb and brings it back inside. What if that takes place in between the severing of the first "siman" and the second "siman" in slaughtering the mother. Will the progeny of that fetus (after it grows up) need slaughtering, though that animal itself does not require slaughtering? Also, complications of this kind of animal when it comes to exchange (temurah) for another animal that was not born with the same unusual status. Plus, the first-born (bekhor) - when it's the fetus in these kinds of cases, where it might even be dismembered to help it out of the womb (and then it isn't a bekhor after all, unless the majority of it came out whole).

I was born January 6, 1950, in San Gabriel, California. Firstborn son of Ernest Jennings and Betty Jean Ford.In the years I've been alive I've been I've been a son, a brother, a cowhand, a rhythm guitarist, a dishwasher, a father, a teacher, a student, an actor, a singer, a con artist, a martial artist, a songwriter, an editor, a husband, a liar and a writer. It's fair to say that I was more apt -more successful, perhaps- in some areas than others. I was definitely luckier...there's no other explanation.​I've been blessed with gifts better bestowed on someone more deserving. I have a life partner I pray never realizes how much better she could have done, and children I pray never forget their promise to let us live with them when they're grown.​Life is good.... you know?​So... welcome to the podcast. Take a look around. Make yourself at home. Have a cup of coffee. Call your friends. Screen the reel. Listen to voice over clips. Pore over inane musings on questionable topics. Read glowing book reviews. Scan the credits. Let's have lunch.​Later...

Más de 8h de encuentro, compartiendo merienda, cine, cena y copas con un grupo de más de 30 personas. Estamos muy agradecidos por vuestra amabilidad y simpatía. En la segunda parte, tenemos la última tertulia de Star Trek Replay, dedicada convenientemente a los episodios finales de TNG, DS9, Voyager y Enterprise. Y en la tercera parte, a partir de 1h24m, comentamos ‘Firstborn', el cierre de Alexander, el hijo de Worf, en TNG. Un episodio más de familia. Una idea a lo Terminator 2, con Alexander viniendo del futuro para corregirse a sí mismo, pero con un resultado mucho menos brillante.

Calvary Bible Chapel

Deuteronomy 15 sets out three bodies of legislation governing Old Covenant Israel: the sabbatical release of debts (vv. 1–11), the release of indentured servants (vv. 12–18), and the consecration of firstborn animals (vv. 19–23). The sermon traces how each law reflects God's concern for the poor and the victim, the requirement of right internal disposition before outward compliance, and ultimately how the firstborn legislation points forward to the unblemished firstborn Son of God offered as the propitiation for sin. Main points: - Laws Concerning Debt (vv. 1–11): The Sabbatical Year and Release of Debts - Generosity to the Poor: Internal Disposition and Outward Act - Release of Slaves (vv. 12–18): Indentured Servitude, Dignified Release, and Theological Rationale - Sacrifice of the Firstborn (vv. 19–23): Consecration, Celebration, and Typological Significance - Conclusion: Divine Concern for the Poor, Protection for the Victim, and the Firstborn Son of God Scripture references: - Exodus 21; 22:1-3; 23:11 - Leviticus 17; 25:1-7; 25:39 - Deuteronomy 4:5-9; 12; 14; 15:1-23; 28 - Psalm 24 - Ecclesiastes 8:11 - Malachi 1 - Matthew 26:11 - Galatians 6:10 - Ephesians 4:28 - Colossians 1 - 1 Timothy 5; 6:17-19 - Hebrews 7 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/bible-study-deuteronomy-15-laws-concerning-debt-slaves-and-firstborn Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai

The One Who Holds it All Together Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Colossians 1:15-17 (NLT) Episode Summary On a 5th Sunday family service, Pastor Michael invites kids up to conduct magnetic experiments while challenging the false idea that you can't love science AND love Jesus. Through Colossians 1:15-17, he reveals that Jesus is the Cosmic Painter and Eternal Engineer behind everything science studies, and that the same Jesus who holds atoms together can hold our lives together. Key Points – Invisible doesn't mean imaginary - just like we can't see magnetic force but can see what it does, we can't see God but can see what He does – Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God - He shows us what God is like in His heart and character by showing love to the forgotten, outcasts, and broken – Jesus created everything visible and invisible - all stars, atoms, molecules, light, matter, energy, space, time, and spiritual powers in the heavenly realms – "Firstborn" doesn't mean born first but first in rank, honor, authority, and supremacy - Jesus has real authority over galaxies and gravity, atoms and angels – Jesus holds all creation together - protons in atoms should repel each other and collapse, but they don't because Jesus sustains the laws that hold creation stable – The Same Jesus who holds the universe together can hold families together, hold our hearts together, and hold us when we're scared, grieving, or falling apart Main Takeaway Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together. Science and faith aren't enemies - explaining how something works proves the brilliance of the designer, not that the designer doesn't exist. The more we learn about how the world works, the more we should praise God for making such an amazing world. When life feels like it's falling apart, remember that the Creator of Life is strong enough to hold you together. Memorable Quotes – "Jesus made it all, Jesus owns it all, Jesus holds it all together." – "Invisible doesn't mean imaginary." – "Science shows us how. Faith shows us Who." – "Science doesn't make God smaller. It shows us more and more how BIG He Is!" – "Jesus loves us and laid down His Life for us. And then He Rose Again, because The Creator of Life can't be conquered by death." – "The Same Jesus Who Holds the universe together can help us hold it together." – "If you're turning your heart toward Jesus, He attracts you. If you're turning away, you resist His Love." Reflection Question What parts of your life feel like they're falling apart? Are you willing to trust the One who holds atoms together with holding your heart, your family, and your future together? Tune in to hear the interactive magnetic experiments with kids, why spilled milk never spells out the meaning of life (proving accidents make messes, not masterpieces), the explanation of why atoms don't blow apart, and why Pastor Michael is excited about Vacation Bible School's "Glad Scientist" theme.

At Sinai, God established a covenant with the congregation of Israel. Roughly fifteen centuries later, on Pentecost in 31 AD, God established the new

By William Bradford - With our names registered in the Church of the Firstborn, what parallels can we apply in our lives from the firstborn of the families of Israel?

How often do we consider how great of a gift God’s Law was? Do we truly appreciate it? We have greater access to the scriptures more than any point in history, but we often neglect to read, let alone memorize it. Rusty takes us through the beauty and necessity of God’s word from Sinai to Acts.

This episode is part 6 in a study of the book of Exodus. Moses receives instructions for the consecration of the firstborn. This is like what was done to protect the firstborn in the Passover. https://thebiblestudypodcast.com/exodus-13-consecration-of-the-firstborn/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The Word of the Day with Rene' Holaday for Thurs, 4-16-26 (6-19-25) Psalm 87: 1-7"And these were born in her!"  God gives special note to those who found Jesus during their lives who were Jews born in Israel!  It's SO surprising when a Jew finds Jesus that God even makes special note of those few Jews who made it into the "Church of the Firstborn" that were actually Jews!  What a remarkable thing to see that God is that surprised by that as well that He makes special note of them when looking at the Book of Life!  WOW!  They are that rare!  FASCINATING!  So yes- we must share the gospel with the JEWS!!  Great place to donate to for that purpose is OneforIsrael.org.  I tithe to them often.

Delivered…But Pharaoh Came Again by Autumn Dickson I love the story of Moses and the Red Sea. There is a reason it was used as an example time and time again throughout the history of the scriptures. There is so much goodness. One of the parts of the story that used to stick out to me was the fact that Pharaoh released them, but then he came after them again. Here are some verses about it. Exodus 14:8-9 8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea… I believe that the Lord is in the details, so what do we learn from this idea that the Israelites were free but then once again in danger? I used to think it had something to do with the fact that Christ suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross. He suffered twice as part of the atonement. Was that somehow relevant? Perhaps, but there are always multiple layers and details. Let's talk about one of the potential parallels from the fact that the Israelites had to be saved from the Egyptians twice. The Israelites were saved by the death of the firstborns in Egypt. Pharaoh is finally ready to release them, and he lets them pass by into the wilderness. Unfortunately, little time passes and Pharaoh is right back at it. He pursues the Israelites to come and enslave them again. Think about this for a minute. Christ has saved us. We have passed through those gates and out of slavery. But the work isn't done. There is still an enemy after us that has the power to enslave us again. He is relentless despite everything that points to the power of God. He comes after us in his might. What did the Israelites do? When they faced slavery, maybe even death, again, how did they respond? Not well in the beginning. They were really afraid and they turned to Moses saying, “Why didn't you leave us alone to be slaves? It would be better to be slaves in Egypt than dead in the wilderness.” Moses has an epic response. Exodus 14:13-14 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Moses encourages them to have faith, turns to the Lord, and the Lord tells him to proceed. The Israelites walk through the Red Sea on dry ground. So. Many. Cool. Parallels. The Lord saved them out of Egypt, and He saved them again with the Red Sea. It is so important to note that. The Israelites didn't make the ground dry so that they could walk across. Moses didn't even do it. The Lord did it. He was the one who utilized Moses to part the Red Sea. It was the Lord's power. And yet, the Israelites still had a job. They had to walk forward in faith, just like Moses encouraged. They could have watched the walls of water form on either side, sat down on the beach, and said, “There's salvation! It's right there. How cool.” And then they could have just stayed there to be killed by the Egyptians. They could have feared that treading the sea floor would be too treacherous, or that the salvation wouldn't hold and they would end up drowning after walking into the water. There were any number of responses that they could have had, but they took a leap of faith, followed the prophet, and trusted the Lord's miracle. They took the chance that the Lord gave to them. The death of the Firstborn has freed us, but an enemy still pursues after us. We could sit down, observe the miracle changing the lives of those around us, and not actually take the opportunity that the Lord has given to us. We could think the miracle is really cool but not actually follow the prophet. We could look at the difficult path on the sea floor and feel like it's too hard. We could worry and fret that the miracle wouldn't hold, that Christ doesn't actually have the power to save us. Or, we could move forward in faith. We can trust that this miracle was made for us, to protect us from those who would enslave and destroy us. We could trust that maybe there is a Being out there who lives His life for the pure joy of saving us, who simply wants our faith and love in return. Follow the prophet. The Lord will help you navigate the path. He will provide deliverance. Trust Him. I testify that the Lord has provided deliverance. I also testify that there is still an enemy who wants us to be miserable and destroyed if he can help it. I testify that the Lord has the power to save us from that enemy and our job is to have faith. That's our job. Have the faith necessary to trust that the prophet can lead us through on dry ground by the power of God. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

Find Joy in the Wilderness by Autumn Dickson When I was studying the Doctrine and Covenants last year, my pattern revolved around learning about the people who were receiving the revelations and how they were feeling so that we could better relate to them and receive the same comfort in the revelations that they did. As I've studied the Old Testament thus far, I've found a different pattern for learning principles from God. Namely, I look at the details in the class Old Testament stories, and I find the parallels for our day. It's been powerful and helpful. So without further ado, here's another detail from the Moses and Plagues story. The God of the Hebrews is working to free His people from slavery in Egypt. There are some questions that we could ask as to why He didn't jump right in with the death of the firstborn, but those questions can be asked another time. As the Lord continues on with His work through Moses, Pharaoh appears to relent a couple of times. He tells Moses, “Take back the frogs, and I'll let them go.” But then he hardens his heart and refuses to free them. It happens again with the flies. Pharaoh tells Moses to take away the flies and he will let the people go. Here is how Moses responds. Exodus 8:29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. Of course, Pharaoh goes back on his word and refuses to release them. Maybe he was hoping Moses and His God would run out of power and not be able to send any more plagues? Regardless, Pharaoh still holds the Israelites captive. There is a lot of goodness here, but I want to draw your attention to one detail. Moses wants the Israelites free so that they can go sacrifice to the Lord in the wilderness. This is not the only time this is mentioned. More than once, Moses specifically says this. Pharaoh needs to free the Israelites so that they can go and sacrifice to the Lord out of Egypt and in the wilderness. Oof. Is there a better way to describe life after we finish our ordinances? We are made free by the death of the Firstborn, we pass through the gate, and what do we see? A whole lot of wilderness. For a long time. Why are we here in the wilderness? It seemed so exciting to be free before. Now it just seems dusty, hot, hard, and uncomfortable. Interestingly enough, we didn't walk through those gates to make it into paradise immediately. The gate was just the first step. We've been freed from slavery, but we don't know how to be happy and healthy yet. There are many more lessons to learn. There is a lot of sacrifice to be made so that we can understand what it means to grow to be like the Lord and find what He found. We have a long journey ahead of us. It's funny. I remember being on my mission and working long hours with minimal breaks. I remember rushing to write in my journal at night so that I could pass out in my bed on time and get as much sleep as possible because I was so dang tired. I remember mentally aching when I had to leave the dinner table at the houses of members I was close to. I think that was one of the things I missed the most while I was on the mission. I grew up in a family where we all ate dinner together and talked the whole time. We had a lot of family come into town for holidays, and we would sit at the table for a long time afterwards and talk and laugh. I missed that resting while on my mission. I remember getting on the plane, and I was so excited to eat a meal and then do nothing afterwards. I was excited to rest. Lol. I did get some rest for a while, but heaven knows life only speeds up after that. We came here to struggle in the wilderness, to keep putting one foot in front of the other, to make sacrifices and grow and learn what we're supposed to learn. We didn't come here to finish all of that so we could rest. We came to sacrifice in the wilderness. Which sounds horrible, but it doesn't have to be. This was a timely lesson for me. I have a goal right now to be grateful for the opportunity to wear myself out in the name of the Lord. I'm not talking about being a martyr, though sometimes that seems to be my default mode. Rather, I'm talking about completely turning my perspective upside down. I didn't come to earth to preserve energy and my body. I didn't come here to try and completely annihilate stress from my life or reach some magical point where I feel great enough to give all of myself. Rather, when I catch the true feeling behind this goal I made, I find rest when I let go of my own concerns and cheerfully and willingly take advantage of these incredible opportunities God has given to me. Someday I'll get enough sleep (or my body won't need sleep? I don't know?). Someday, I'll have a perfect body and perfect perspective and all my needs met, and I won't have to reach for those things anymore. They will be given to me. I'll have a perfectly clean house with everything I could ask for. Sometimes we get mixed up and wear ourselves out on the things that don't matter, things that will be freely given to us on the other side. We're putting all of our energy and hopes and focus on setting foot on that promised land. What if we let go and trusted that the promised land will make it to us at the right time? What if instead, we focused on the gift of the wilderness and what it has to offer? I have found that when I stop striving to put my feet in the promised land here in mortality, I find beauty and rest and hope and peace in the wilderness. Moses had it right. He didn't tell Pharaoh that he was taking the Israelites to the promised land. Sure, that was the eventual goal, but there were some really important goals along the way before they would even be able to enjoy the promised land. Moses told Pharaoh to release the Israelites so that they could go and sacrifice in the wilderness. When we let go of trying to hold on to ourselves, we find joy in the sacrifices we're asked to make in the wilderness. That's a true principle. I'm grateful my Savior redeemed me. I'm grateful He let me walk through the gate and bind myself to Him through the ordinance of baptism. I'm grateful that He gave me a path with lessons along the way. I'm grateful that I don't have to worry about reaching the promised land; He's got that handled. All I have to worry about is learning along the way, sacrificing along the way. I'm grateful for my testimony that He will provide for all that I need in the wilderness. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, host Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Book of Exodus chapters 7–13, where God's power is revealed through the dramatic plagues that fall upon Egypt. As Moses confronts Pharaoh again and again, the escalating plagues show that the Lord alone rules heaven and earth, giving Pharaoh repeated opportunities to recognize His authority. For the enslaved Israelites, these events must have strengthened their faith as they witnessed the Lord defending His covenant people. Through these miracles, the narrative builds toward the ultimate act of deliverance—the Passover—foreshadowing the saving power of the Lamb of God. While these chapters center on Moses and Pharaoh, this episode also highlights the often-overlooked experiences of women within Israelite homes during these pivotal moments. Israelite mothers played a crucial role in faithfully preparing the Passover meal, marking their doorposts with the lamb's blood, and teaching their children the sacred meaning of the night of deliverance. Their quiet obedience and faith helped preserve the covenant within the family and ensured that the memory of God's saving power would be passed from generation to generation. As Lynne Hilton Wilson explains, these women stand as powerful examples of covenant faith—participating in God's work of redemption within their homes and pointing symbolically to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn who delivers all God's children from spiritual bondage.

In today's reading from Exodus 10-11, Fr. Mike explains how the ten plagues reveal that God is far greater than the Egyptian gods. We also discover more about how God wants to be worshipped through Leviticus 8 and Psalm 50. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
