Podcasts about Following Jesus

Imitating good will show you are from God. But be encouraged that this is a daily process that begins with being Beloved. You're not earning that title or place. God has done the work, and now we work out of who God has already called us to be. 3 John 11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

Do we love Jesus more than anything else? Jesus' call to Peter—“Feed my sheep”—flows from a heart of love. As we return to Him from self-reliance, He restores us and invites us to dine with Him. Ministry begins with intimacy.This four-part series draws us deep into the heart of our Shepherd, Jesus Christ, who calls us not only to follow Him, but to love Him above all else—and in that love, to feed His sheep. From Peter's restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep.

All My Days: Following Jesus when faith feels fragile - Mark Roberts - 31.08.25 by Wollongong Baptist Church

Following Jesus means worship and war—celebrating His goodness while fighting real spiritual battles. In Luke 4:1-13, see how Jesus faced temptation and how His victory equips us to win our own.

In the sermon "Ruthless," preached by Pastors Matt and Wade, you are commanded to wage an unyielding war against sin, with no room for compromise. The Word of God is your weapon, and you must wield it fiercely to see, know, and reflect God. You are to confront sin head-on, taking full responsibility for your spiritual growth and refusing to rely on others' victories. Following Jesus' example, you must lead by personal discipleship, building a faith community that is relentless in its assault on sin. God is both creator and destroyer, and you must embody this dual nature, maintaining constant vigilance in your battle for holiness. Be a warrior for God, ruthlessly pursuing holiness and inspiring others to do the same.

"Trusting the Heart of Jesus-Part 2”Mark 7:31-37Having recently completed our series “None Like Jesus” let's continue to “Behold Him” by embarking on a new study through the Gospel of Mark. Mark's Gospel is the shortest of the four Gospels and it is action-packed from start to finish – as evidenced by the word “immediately” used over 40 times. Mark wrote to believers, probably Roman believers, who were no strangers to persecution. And he wanted to disciple his readers to be strong in their faith by encouraging them to look to their Mighty Messiah, the Son of God, who remained steadfastly faithful even while becoming their Suffering Servant who died for them. Mark's Gospel is a call to all believers to fearlessly “Follow Jesus” because they can trust Him completely.

“Following Jesus cannot be explained or proven, He can only be encountered.”This  sermon for this week is up! Have a great day. https://open.substack.com/pub/josephredraider/p/behold-the-lamb-the-scripture-for?r=1ppv0p&utm_medium=ios

This morning, we celebrated the powerful ways God is moving in our world, especially among the younger generation. Stories from college campuses like Ohio State University, where thousands of students have come to faith and been baptized, remind us that God is not done working. Even in a digital age, Gen Z is hungry for truth, driving a surge in Bible sales and seeking authentic encounters with Jesus. We heard a moving testimony from Mackenzie, who found freedom and new life in Christ, and we rejoiced in the many baptisms happening right here at EVC across all ages. These stories are not just distant miracles—they are invitations for each of us to experience God's transforming power in our own lives.We reflected on what it truly means to be the church. The church is not a building or an event, but the people—God's family, His body, His temple, and His bride. Looking back to the first-century church in Acts, we saw that the same Holy Spirit who empowered ordinary people like Peter is available to us today. The early church was marked by boldness, deep commitment, and a willingness to go “all in” for Jesus, even when it cost them dearly. Their devotion was not a one-time act but a continuous, daily surrender to God's purposes.God moves where He is wanted and welcomed. Transformation often begins in desperation and hunger for more of Him. The mission Jesus gave us is clear: as we go about our lives, we are to make disciples, baptize, and teach others to obey all He commanded. This is not a task for a select few, but a calling for every believer. Living on mission is not about striving in our own strength, but about being empowered by the Holy Spirit, who lives within us. We don't need more strategies; we need more surrender.The early church devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, generosity, and sharing the gospel. These are the basics, but they are also the essentials for a movement of God. We are called to be disciples—apprentices of Jesus—who not only learn from Him but also help others follow Him. This means being intentional about gathering for teaching (“row time”), spending personal time with God (“chair time”), and connecting in smaller groups for growth and accountability (“circle time”). The invitation is to go all in, to live sent, and to trust that God will use us to bring transformation wherever we are.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:10] - Football, Culture, and Spiritual Movements[03:45] - Revival at Ohio State and Gen Z's Hunger[09:11] - Testimonies of Life Change[11:44] - God's Work in Our Congregation[14:08] - Mackenzie's Story of Salvation[19:19] - The Church: Not a Building, But a People[22:54] - The Cost and Boldness of Following Jesus[25:19] - God Shows Up Where He's Wanted[26:49] - Living on Mission in Everyday Life[29:45] - The Great Commission: Our Mission[32:08] - Making Disciples as You Go[33:19] - Living Sent: Church Beyond the Rows[35:49] - What Is a Disciple?[38:26] - Be a Disciple, Develop Disciples[41:14] - Supporting Mission and Multiplication[45:03] - The Power Holy Spirit, Not Strategy[47:33] - Surrender and the Spirit's Power[48:59] - Chair Time: Connecting with God Daily[53:03] - Devotion: The Early Church's Playbook[57:14] - Row, Chair, and Circle: Pathways to Growth[59:51] - Invitation to Faith and Prayer[60:46] - Closing Prayer and Sending

Following Jesus When It's Hard Mark 4:35-41 & 1 Kings 19:1-18Kevin SaxtonAugust 31, 2025

Saturday Church - Morning Church - Evening Church - Ross Collins - Saturday 30 Aug 25 - Sunday 31 Aug 25

Together The word “together” makes a big difference, especially when we're talking about following Jesus. Discipleship thrives in a relational context, which is why phrases like “each other” and “one another” pop up all the time when the Bible speaks about following Jesus.  Join us as Pastor Tim Boucher helps us think about what it means to follow Jesus together. 

Job's life is marked by the question "why." Many times, our circumstances lead us to wonder what is going on. These three verses reflect a new mindset and understanding from Job. He realizes God has both the answers and our heart. Therefore, we can trust and know that He is God. Job 42:1-3 Then Job replied to the Lord:2 “I know that you can do all things;    no purpose of yours can be thwarted.3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?'    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,    things too wonderful for me to know.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

Daily Dose of Hope August 28, 2025   Scripture – Luke 12:35-59   Prayer:  Lord Jesus, You are the hope of the world but you are also our hope.  I pray for all those who need hope today.  May they seek you.  I pray for all those who need healing.  May they run to you. I pray for all those who need forgiveness.  May they come to you.  Lord, we all need you.  Before we run to the things of the world, may we rest in you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we finish Luke 12.   In today's reading, the servants (the disciples in this case) are told to be ready for the return of the master, Jesus, from a wedding banquet.  In the Old Testament, wedding banquets often represent the eschatological hope of God's people.  When we say eschatology, we are referring to the last judgement or the last things, the ultimate destiny of God's people and world.  In the New Testament, the wedding banquet imagery would be centered around Jesus and the hope he brings.  He is the one who came to redeem the world and he is the one who will ultimately come to judge the world.  The disciples are called to be ready and actively waiting for Jesus' return.  And so are we.    The return of Jesus is certain.  When he will return is not.  Are you ready?   The next portion of our reading is difficult.  If I were to ask you why Jesus came to earth, how many of you would say “to bring conflict?”  Hmmm...probably not many.  And yet, Jesus says here that he has come to bring fire on the earth.  He has come to bring division.  How do we reconcile this with Jesus being a Prince of Peace?    I think it's important we look at the context.  Jesus is speaking of the conflict and division his coming will cause.  There was and is division in families because some believe and others don't.  Jesus is saying to expect this rather than be surprised by this.  Following Jesus well is a revolutionary thing.  Maybe following Jesus as a cultural Christian doesn't bring much discord, but truly following the ways of Jesus (as described in the Gospels) puts us at odds with our culture and the greater society.   In the final portion of our reading today, interpreting the times, we find Jesus again referring to the Pharisees as hypocrites.  Afterall, he says, they can interpret the weather, understanding when it's going to rain, but they can't interpret the meaning of Jesus' presence.  They have no idea how significant it is that Jesus is there, nor do they understand his teachings or purpose.  They truly have no idea that the God of the universe has come down among them.    How often do we fail to recognize God in our midst?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

The Busses are joined by Keith Wheeler, a dear friend of many years who has taken up his cross to follow Jesus in a very literal way. As a young man in college, Keith received the call of Jesus to be His witness to the people who need Him the most, and Keith discovered some creative ways to do that in the bars in his community. But after the tragic loss of one of his newfound friends, Keith asked the Lord what more he could do to really reach people with the Gospel. Jesus responded with a mind-boggling challenge to build 12-foot cross and carry it across Tulsa, Oklahoma.After a reluctant and bumpy start forty years ago, Keith has now carried the cross all over the world. Tune in as Keith gives highlights from his amazing story of walking together with Jesus and shares testimonies from his front row view of how simply being introduced to Jesus changes people's lives forever.EMAIL: feedback@globaloutpouring.orgWEBSITE: https://globaloutpouring.net Upcoming Events:School of the Supernatural – Translation by Faith 2025 CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIAGlobal Outpouring Facebook PageGlobal Outpouring on InstagramGlobal Outpouring YouTube ChannelGlobal Outpouring on X

Following Jesus is not a solo journey—it's an invitation into community, a willingness to be interrupted, and a courageous step into vulnerability. In this sermon from Pastor Woody Morwood, together, we discover God's transforming love, the power of authentic relationships, and the hope of the Gospel that changes lives.

We often view difficulty and suffering as a punishment or consequence from God, but as Isaac Benelli shares, these aren't things that push us away from God but that can actually draw us closer to Him.

Life can get heavy but we're never lifting at it alone. God is literally the best spotter we could ever ask for. He is more than able to help us with any large or light burden. Don't be afraid to cast your worries on Him today. Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord,    and he will sustain you;he will never permit    the righteous to be moved.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

Who you walk with determines where you end up. Pastor David Wray closes out the "Follow Me" series by teaching on what godly relationships will produce in our lives.

1 Peter 3:15, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 8:18-21 v.15: “Always be prepared to give an ANSWER to everyone who asks you to give the REASON for the HOPE that YOU have.” Why is my HOPE in Jesus? Following Jesus does NOT result in a PAIN free or PROBLEM free life. Good is all GOOD. God is […]

The Bible is filled with the accounts of many peoples' lives who followed God faithfully and didn't quit. We can find encouragement from reading those biblical accounts. But there is One who stands out above all and that is Jesus Christ, Himself. As we strive to follow the Lord's plan for our lives, we often face difficulties and even suffering in our lives. The writer of the book of Hebrews encouraged his audience and us to look to Jesus who faithfully followed the will of His Father all the way to and through the cross. Jesus won the victory and we can, too, as we remain faithful to God.

The resurrection. Words that were spoken to Jesus' disciples, and they forgot. In their heartache and loss, they forget some of the greatest words He spoke. What words are we forgetting daily? Press back in and remind yourself to remember what He has already spoken. Luke 24:1-9 1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

Who are men listening to in 2025? Join us in the pew this week for a conversation with longtime friend and guest Pete Burak, Vice President of Renewal Ministries. So many young men who desire discipleship are drawn to online influencers because they are validating that desire with a distorted version of masculinity. What they're really longing for is the radical call of Jesus—the only One who can truly transform a man's heart. Following Jesus means going all in. It means rejecting a lukewarm heart and letting Him radically transform your life as a man of God. Masculinity isn't toxic. It's holy—when Jesus is at the center. Check out Renewal Ministries and the awesome ways they're helping folks pursue true greatness. https://www.renewalministries.net/ Follow Pete on social media! https://www.instagram.com/peteburak https://www.facebook.com/pete.burak/ https://x.com/PeteBurak10 Follow Renewal Ministries on social media! https://www.instagram.com/renewalministries https://www.facebook.com/CatholicRenewalMinistries/ Learn more about our pilgrimage: Walk in the Footsteps of Pope St. John Paul II with John

What does it really mean to follow Jesus in a world obsessed with image, status, and performance? In this message, Pastor Sharon Miller looks at Mary's bold and costly act of devotion in John 12 and shows how her love, humility, and sacrifice reveal the true heart of discipleship. Discover what it looks like to move beyond image management and live with spiritual clarity in the way of Jesus.

Why does modern prayer need a serious rethink? In this engaging episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erie and Tim Stafford dive into the complex relationship between prayer, faith, and cultural challenges. From unpacking the transactional mindset often tied to prayer to exploring how the teachings of Jesus reframe this sacred practice, the conversation invites us to reimagine prayer as a transformative act of humility, gratitude, and community. The hosts discuss the role of the church in society, and how faith intersects with politics and justice in today's world. Drawing from both ancient Jewish practices and the Lord's Prayer, the episode challenges the prevalent individualistic approach to faith, calling listeners to deeper reflection on blessing God, acknowledging the gifts of life, and responding to societal issues with action. With their hallmark blend of critical thinking, curiosity, and humor, Mike and Tim offer a compelling perspective on navigating cultural tensions while staying rooted in the teachings of Jesus.

Let the lamp do lamp things. My negative self-talk can be like me taking myself out of the game before God meant for it. Let the lamp do lamp things. Live to the call that God has for you, even when it doesn't appear in front of you as quickly as you think it should.Live to God and let the world learn along the way. Mark 4:21-25 21 And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. 25 For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”Following Jesus and enjoying life are not mutually exclusive.

What does God's dream for the world look like? In Isaiah 65:17–25, the prophet describes a vision of health, peace, dignity, and fairness for all people. Jesus carried this vision into his ministry, showing us that justice is not optional—it's the public face of love.In this message, we explore why biblical justice matters, how it shapes both personal faith and public life, and what it means to pursue justice today. You'll hear practical steps for living it out—praying differently, learning faithfully, acting courageously, and living prophetically.God's dream is more than an idea—it's an invitation.

Following Jesus comes with real costs, but in Him the eternal rewards far outweigh every sacrifice.

Following Jesus' example transforms the way husbands and wives love, serve, and value one another — creating a relationship that reflects His love.
