Podcasts about genuine faith

Sunday Morning Service with Pastor Mike Shoaf

In this episode, Whitney teaches through Luke 7:36-50 about a nameless woman who responds to Jesus in an awkward but beautiful display of affection. We see a great contrast between the host, Simon the Pharisee, who demonstrates cynicism, doubt, and judgment, and the woman who pours out sacrificially at the feet of Jesus, a woman known in town only as a sinner. This brief episode touches on the ways that we attempt to make ourselves look better than we are, while challenging us to live a version of faith that expresses itself in sincere action. It offers a fresh look at repentance and pushes us to ask how our faith is known beyond the words that we speak. Social media: IG - wlscarboroughShow Notes/Quotes:“Is Whitney even your real name?”“We have a tendency to make ourselves look better than we are.”“Genuine faith reveals itself in sincere action.”“I believe that repetition as we study God's Word is one of the most helpful and important things we can do.”“Eugene Peterson, the author of the Message version of the Bible, writes, ‘the NO we say to the world's lies and the YES we say to God's truth is repentance. It is always and everywhere the first word in the Christian life.'” “I think repentance is very hard for us, because we have a tendency to make ourselves look better than we are.”“My faith and your faith will look different, but our faith needs to visibly look like something. And I believe that it probably ought to look more like a messy, awkward display of abundant gratitude to our Savior and less like a crossed arm, judgmental view of our neighbor.”“Dane Ortlund is the author of a book called Gentle and Lowly, and he writes, ‘It's the most counterintuitive aspect of Christianity, that we are declared right with God not once we begin to get our act together but once we collapse into honest acknowledgement that we never will.'” Verses:Luke 7:36-50 1 Samuel 16:7James 2:262 Chronicles 7:14

This Sunday Pastor Jeff walked us through what it means to have genuine faith. A faith that trusts and leans on the Lord.

In this first of many sermons in the books of 1 and 2 Peter, Pastor Andrew emphasizes the important theme of Peter's first letter: Take Heart! Because of the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those who persevere in Him can have true hope amidst their own suffering and hardships, knowing that God's saving promises will be delivered both now and forever. This message also introduces the historical background of the Apostle Peter—his identity, relationship with Jesus, role in the early church, and legacy. This first message also highlights the foundational truths of 1 Peter 1:1–25, including the identity of believers as elect exiles, the new birth into a living hope, and the refining purpose of trials. These themes set the stage for the rest of the letter, emphasizing God's grace, the believer's secure future, and the reality of trials in a fallen world. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_8ae84fa32c58492d9282875e9fd6f208.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_07b9fd2f0068439689b8f6967063b052.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

Ever felt like you're just going through the motions in your faith? In this challenging episode, Pastor Derek Holmes invites us to an uncomfortable dinner party recorded in Luke 11:37-12:3. Jesus, as the guest of honor, directly confronts his Pharisee hosts, revealing their hypocrisy. He exposes how they meticulously cultivate an outward appearance of righteousness while their hearts remain untouched by true holiness. But the Pharisees aren't the only ones under scrutiny. Jesus then turns to the Scribes, the religious lawyers of the day, and uncovers how their rigid legalism was burdening and oppressing the very people they were meant to guide. Both groups, Pastor Holmes explains, were practicing a "tainted religion" – one that prioritized external show over internal transformation. Join us for "Behind the Mask" as Pastor Holmes unpacks this potent encounter. Discover why true Christianity must go more than skin deep. It's a call to examine our own hearts and ensure our faith is genuine, gives all honor and glory to Him, and fully welcomes His transformative presence in every aspect of our lives. This is a lesson for us all on the vital importance of authenticity in our walk with Christ.

1 Timothy 1:1-11

In Genesis 22, we have one of the most well-known stories in the Old Testament - Abraham sacrificing Isaac. The Lord calls Abraham to Moriah; he embarks on a three-day journey, and we see the Lord as faithful as always. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally May 18th, 2025. Hank Atchison.

What is false assurance of salvation? How can we know if our faith is genuine rather than a mere intellectual assent or a superficial profession of faith? Are there clear biblical marks that distinguish authentic, Spirit-wrought belief from a hollow confidence that leads to eternal disappointment? Is it enough to have prayed a prayer once, been baptized, or served faithfully in a local church for decades? Or does the Bible instruct us to examine our current spiritual condition, ensuring that what we believe and how we live truly align with God's Word? This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, host Dr. Josh Philpot sits down with Pastor Richard Caldwell of Founders Baptist Church to address a critical and often misunderstood issue: false assurance. Building from passages like Matthew 7, where Jesus warns that many will say, “Lord, Lord,” and yet be turned away, Dr. Caldwell unpacks how true assurance of salvation differs radically from a counterfeit confidence. The conversation centers on two vital threads that, when woven together, form the fabric of genuine faith: sound doctrine and a transformed life. As you listen, you'll gain clarity about what it means to have the right gospel doctrine—understanding justification by faith alone, the person and work of Jesus Christ, and the necessity of repentance and belief. Yet having correct doctrine is not enough. James reminds us that even the demons believe in God's existence, and they tremble. Genuine faith must also produce real, observable fruit in our lives: an authentic love for Christ, a hatred of sin, a growing desire for righteousness, humble submission to God's Word, love for God's people, and an ongoing pattern of confession and repentance. The Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8), not through bare head-knowledge alone, but through a life increasingly conformed to Christ and anchored in love for Him. Dr.

In this powerful episode of Ordinary People with Extraordinary Lives, host Arlenys Buckelew sits down with Pastor David Jordan, the Family and Marriage Pastor at Redeemer Bible Church, to explore his remarkable transformation journey. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist home, David thought he was saved but later realized he lacked a genuine relationship with Christ. From evangelizing in high school without genuinely knowing Jesus to experiencing a crisis of faith in his marriage, David shares his path to true repentance and salvation. David discovered a deep love for Christ and the Bible through expository preaching and discipleship at Jack's Church in Burbank, California. This shift in his heart led him from a career in computer graphics to pastoral ministry, where he now focuses on discipling couples and strengthening families. David's story is a humbling testimony of God's grace and provision.  Watch his encouraging message about examining your faith and pursuing a life rooted in Christ now!
