Podcasts about giving to the poor

In Episode 218, we explore Luke 11:37-41 and a meal that becomes a moment of profound spiritual exposure. A Pharisee invites Jesus home for a meal, and Jesus sits down to eat without performing the handwashing ceremony required by Jewish custom. His host is immediately amazed—and not in a good way. But this wasn't an accident. Jesus knew exactly what He was doing. He was creating a moment—a deliberate opportunity to expose something far more serious than unwashed hands. Through guided meditation, discover what Jesus says to His host: "You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness. Fools! Didn't God make the inside as well as the outside?" The Pharisees had mastered the appearance of holiness. They knew every rule, every ritual, every ceremony. They washed their hands the right way, at the right time, with the right words. From the outside, they looked spotless—models of religious devotion and careful obedience. But Jesus looks at the inside. And what He sees is greed and wickedness hiding behind religious performance. The cup is clean on the outside and filthy on the inside. And Jesus says: God made both. He's interested in both. And He won't be satisfied with one without the other. Then Jesus says something surprising and specific: "So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over." Why generosity? Because greed is the specific disease Jesus has diagnosed in the Pharisees' hearts. And the antidote to greed is giving. You can't be generous and greedy at the same time. When you open your hands to give to those in need, you're doing something that greed cannot survive. Generosity is the death of greed. This episode explores the inside-out life Jesus is calling us to. Not religious performance on the outside while the inside remains unchanged and unchallenged. Not the appearance of holiness while the heart remains full of selfishness. But a heart genuinely transformed—and generosity is one of the clearest and most tangible signs of that transformation. It's easy to look clean. It's much harder to be clean. And Jesus is far more interested in the inside of the cup than the outside. Learn what your generosity—or lack of it—reveals about what's really going on inside you. Discover how giving to those in need is not just a charitable act but a spiritual discipline that exposes and heals the greed that hides behind religious habits. Find practical steps for identifying one specific act of generosity you can offer today—not to look good, but because Jesus is cleaning you from the inside out. Experience the freedom and wholeness that comes from being clean all the way through—not just on the outside where others can see, but on the inside where Jesus looks.

In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

As Christians, we know we're called to help the poor, but the real question is how.  In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, we sit down with Justin Wolfenburg to unpack what the Bible really says about charity. Who are we supposed to help? How should we help them? And how does true, biblical giving restore dignity and responsibility instead of destroying it? Tune in for a challenging conversation that will flip your view of charity upside down and give you a clearer vision for Kingdom-centered generosity.

Simon Pranaitis explores the biblical view of money as seen in the Mosaic law, revealing how God's statutes reflect His character and values. This sermon demonstrates that the biblical view of money shows it as a means, not an end, used to glorify God, bless others, and maintain justice in the community. Pranaitis extracts lasting principles from Israel's laws for modern application. ★ Support this podcast ★

The benefits of giving to others. Join me in making it a habit to give to others BIG time and let's see what God does! Scriptures References: Proverbs 19:17, Proverbs 28:27, Proverbs 21:13, Hebrews 13:16, Proverbs 14:31, Luke 11:41, Matthew 6:2, and Acts 20:35.

Caring for the poor is very much a part of God’s heart, the heart of the Jewish faith, the heart of the Christian faith. Jesus makes it part of what it means to come follow Him. Now, there are lots of things that it means to follow Him, but helping the poor is one of only two things that is uniquely attached like this to what it means to follow Jesus. We can and should ask, 'Am I following Jesus if I am not helping the poor?'
