Podcasts about four characteristics

IntroGood morning! My name is Ken, and I serve as one of the elders here. I haven't delivered a sermon in nine years, but I've been serving in ministry the whole time—from pastoring to managing a condo complex. I've wondered if my work was spiritually significant, a feeling many of us share. Today, we'll explore the big idea that God desires to be glorified in our work, no matter where we are.Scripture ReferencesProverbs 8:22, Proverbs 3:19-20, Genesis 1:28, Genesis 2:15, Genesis 3:17-19, Proverbs 26:13, Proverbs 6:6-11, Colossians 3:23, Romans 12:11, Ephesians 4:28, Proverbs 22:29, Proverbs 18:9, Proverbs 16:3, Ephesians 2:8-9Key PointsWork is Divine and Human:God is a worker. Creation is the result of His masterful, intelligent design (Prov 3:19-20). He works wisely, and so should we.Humans are made to work. God put man in the Garden "to tend and keep it" (Gen 2:15). He infused in us a yearning to explore, create, and develop. We find purpose and provision through labor.The Fall and the Two Dangers:Sin cursed the ground, making work toilsome (Gen 3:17-19). This led to two extremes: laziness and workaholism.Laziness makes excuses ("There's a lion in the road!" Prov 26:13).Workaholism makes work an idol and our identity. We trade our souls for success, but our true identity is as God's child, regardless of our job title.Four Characteristics of Working Wisely:Work by Faith: Do everything "as unto the Lord," your unseen supervisor (Col 3:23).Work Diligently: Like the ant, don't be a sluggard (Prov 6:6). God has provided what you need, so go get it. Everyone must participate.Work for the Colony: Ants have two stomachs: one for themselves, and a second to bring food back for the colony. Work not only to nourish yourself but also to have something "to give to him who has need" (Eph 4:28).Work with Excellence: Do your work well, not just heartily (Prov 22:29). Whether you're a CEO or a burger flipper, strive for excellence because you are working for God, not men.The Pulpit of Your Work:My own experience as a pastor-turned-drywall-worker taught me this: "That job is your pulpit." We can minister in whatever "garden" God has placed us in. When we commit our work to the Lord, our thoughts and purpose become established.Joseph is a model for working diligently and with excellence, even in the worst circumstances. God vindicated him and promoted him from prison to the palace because he stayed faithful.ConclusionWhat if reaching the world was as simple as going to work? We can glorify God in our everyday jobs and minister to those around us. This is a sacred calling.Calls to ActionCommit your work to the Lord: Today, pray and put your job in His hands. Ask Him to change your thoughts and perspective.Do a self-check: Where is your identity? In your title or in Christ?Receive the Gift of Grace: We cannot earn salvation through our work; it is a gift from God. Come to the communion table and receive the gift Jesus has prepared.

In Ephesians 6:21-24 Paul brings his letter to the Ephesians to a close. In the way he closes, Paul illustrates how we should live in community as the Church. We should seek to be transparent with one another, encourage one another, and care for one anothers spiritual health. We are to live in this type of community with each other because of Gods love for us, and our love for him. The post Four Characteristics of Church Community appeared first on Caz Church.

In this powerful continuation of our study in Hebrews 10:22, Donald E. Coleman concludes the teaching on the four key characteristics of a true believer, building on the previous episode. With biblical depth and pastoral clarity, Donald explores what it means to draw near to God with a sincere heart, full assurance of faith, and a cleansed conscience. He examines how spiritual transformation happens not through striving, but through the ongoing work of Christ's blood and partnership with the Holy Spirit.Donald addresses the head and heart connection, warning against extremes of emotion or intellect, and invites believers into the fullness of faith modeled by Christ. From the crucified life to the enduring promise of Revelation 3:20, this episode unpacks how true believers live in God's presence, endure trials with patience, and walk in freedom from guilt and shame.You'll also gain insight into the doctrine of sin and salvation, the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, and why our identity as sons and daughters of God matters for spiritual access and growth.

**THIS FUNCTIONAL FAMILY: A Generational Mentality** In 1956, Jim and Elisabeth Elliot, along with four missionaries, attempted to reach the Huaorani tribe in Ecuador. Though Jim and the others were killed, Elisabeth returned with her daughter, demonstrating a generational mentality—she believed her actions could impact future generations. Eventually, the tribe embraced Christ, and today, their descendants are pastors and missionaries. Many of us live for the present, but God calls us to think generationally. Psalm 78:4, 6-7 (NLT): *"We will tell the next generation...so each generation might set its hope anew on God."* Families are not just dynamic institutions but spiritual legacies. As a church, we are called to instill hope, power, and faithfulness in future generations. Let's explore a Generational Mentality—acknowledging both the present and future in God's plan. **Two Main Characteristics of Our Current Generation** **We are a DIVERSE GENERATION** There are more generations alive today than ever before! - Silent, Boomer, X Generations: Slower-paced, shared faith, high trust, strong morality - Millennial, Gen Z: Frantic pace, faith at the margins, broken trust, moral tolerance **We are a DISCONNECTED GENERATION** Judges 17:6 (NLT): *"In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes."* As culture changes, children must figure out their own values. Margaret Mead predicted a time when children will navigate values alone. As followers of Jesus, we must restore connections between generations. **Benefits of Understanding Generational Differences** - Effective communication, teamwork, and leadership - Better recruitment and retention - Shared values Without a generational mentality, a church's mission dies with the current generation. Nelson Henderson said, *"The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit."* A church with a generational mindset plants seeds for a harvest it may never see. **Four Characteristics of a Church with a Generational Mentality** 1. **Prioritizes Discipleship and Spiritual Reproduction** - 2 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV): *"Entrust to reliable people who will teach others."* A generational church trains disciples who train others. 2. **Honors the Legacy of Faith** - 1 Corinthians 11:23 (NIV): *"For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you..."* A church keeps the foundation of faith intact for future generations.3. **Builds Structures for the Future** - Psalm 78:6 (NLT): *"So the next generation might know them..."* A church creates ministries and leadership programs that outlast current leadership. *The things we build for God should outlive us!* 4. **Strengthens Families to Carry Faith Forward** - Josh McDowell: *"Christianity is always one generation away from extinction."* A church equips families to carry on the faith. **A Church with a Generational Mentality Answers Three Critical Questions for the Next Generation** 1. **What is Truth?** - John 18:37-38 (NIV): *"Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."* A church anchors youth in Scripture to withstand cultural shifts. 2. **Where Do I Belong?** - Psalm 68:6 (NIV): *"God sets the lonely in families..."* A church is a place of belonging and mentorship across generations. 3. **Does My Life Matter?** - Ephesians 2:10 (NLT): *"We are God's masterpiece..."* A church affirms that every life has God-ordained purpose. **How to Live Out a Generational Mentality** - Teach the next generation—share faith stories with children and new believers. - Disciple intentionally—invest in mentoring and training. - Create future-focused ministries—empower young leaders by placing them in positions of responsibility. - Live with a kingdom legacy in mind—make decisions that impact generations to come. Let us commit to building a legacy of faith that echoes through generations!

Pastor Bryan continues our series on the Book of James by offering a special Father's Day message on the four characteristics of God our Father from James 1:16-18.

1 Thess. 3:1-10 (NASB) 1 Therefore when we could endure it no longer, we thought it best to be left behind at Athens alone, 2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith, 3 so that no one would be disturbed by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we have been destined for this. 4 For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know. 5 For this reason, when I could endure it no longer, I also sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter might have tempted you, and our labor would be in vain. 6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you, 7 for this reason, brethren, in all our distress and affliction we were comforted about you through your faith; 8 for now we really live, if you stand firm in the Lord. 9 For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account, 10 as we night and day keep praying most earnestly that we may see your face, and may complete what is lacking in your faith? Four Characteristics of the Earnest Pastor/Shepherd1) Burden for the souls of the people (3:1‑2,5)2) Readiness to suffer for Gospel ministry (3:3‑4)3) Comfort from the flock's spiritual well-being (3:6‑8)4) Continual care for the flock's spiritual progress (3:9‑10)

Today's guest brings a wealth of experience from both his time leading large sales organizations and building his own companies.  Sean Harmon is the Chief Executive Officer of Rapid4Cloud, which makes it easier to implement and run Oracle Cloud Applications​. Sean joins Host Matt Benelli for a discussion of nurturing robust work cultures, hiring great sales teams, and building successful organizations.Takeaways:Smart sales managers who are planning for long-term success will hire based on four characteristics: 1. Work Ethic, 2. Integrity, 3. Loyalty, and 4. Intelligence, which is really a person's aptitude and willingness to learn new things.A healthy work ethic can make up for talent gaps and drive success. Sales leaders should therefore encourage a work-smart culture, where the focus is on achieving results rather than just boosting activity.While there is not a universal work-life balance that works for everyone, it's important that you and your team keep up with their lives outside of work. Without doing so, you won't be able to sustain your best production at work. A well-structured hundred-day plan can set the stage for long-term success. This plan should emphasize active listening and understanding team dynamics first, followed by identification of gaps and setting suitable strategies.Having a genuine understanding of your target audience is crucial. Principled decision-making and product belief are critical, allowing you to spot the best opportunities and prioritize accordingly. Every client or prospect may not be qualified or a good fit; discernment is key.Sales leaders need to be selective about who they invest their time in. Leaders need to prioritize their interactions and invest in relationships that add value to their career growth and organizational objectives.Quote of the Show:“Most of what we do, it's not about what people know, but their willingness and curiosity to learn.” - Sean HarmonLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-harmon-344204/ Website: https://www.rapid4cloud.com/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.  These practical coaching recommendations for managers will help their teams drive more deals, bigger deals, faster deals and loyal customers.

Four Characteristics of the Liberal Mind That Are Destroying Society Conservatives often blame liberals for the breakdown in society today. After all, liberals challenged an order that existed and replaced it with a situation that is now unraveling. This unraveling can be traced to the efforts of liberal activists to influence legislation and elections and to liberal control of the media that shape the debate. The fragmented and polarized state of society is proof that something has gone terribly wrong. https://www.tfp.org/four-characteristics-of-the-liberal-mind-that-are-destroying-society/ How Cultural Marxism Threatens the United States—and How Americans Can Fight It The United States has successfully confronted Marxist...
