Podcasts about god for us

It's easy for us to think that our comfort is the thing that matters most. But God has not called us to a life of convenience; Christ died for us that we should no longer live for ourselves, but go out and do His will.

Sermon text: John 14:15-21

Pastor Banning shares the power of the resurrection and reminds us that because Jesus is alive, He has the authority to save, heal, deliver, forgive, restore, and redeem. The empty tomb declares that He is who He says He is and will do what He promised. We also hear powerful testimonies from two of our Jesus Culture Sacramento young adults, reminding us that God is always pursuing us and will not stop until we fully receive His love and salvation.

We hear much today about freedom, whether civil or personal freedoms. Yet, as free as we claim to be, we don't seem happy. At every turn, there is another person, group, or issue between us and freedom. Today, what Jesus said is solidified by what He does for us. For Jesus, if we never talk about sin, we'll never understand freedom. O, the wonderful cross.

Thursday April 2, 2026. "God for Us," a sermon on from Dr. Sean Lucas.

The most important question you need to know the answer to is if God is for you or against you. If he is for you, you cannot fall. If he is against you, you cannot stand. So how can we know if God is for us?

Can you trust Jesus with one thing when you can't see everything? Palm Sunday starts Holy Week. Yet, at the triumphal entry of Jesus, we see disciples do three things we can learn much from today. They come, ask, and do what Jesus invites them to do, even when they don't see the whole picture.

As we continue to enter this heightened warfare season, it is critical that we understand which side the Lord is on.  Most times, believers believe the Lord is always for their battles, but we must see it from the Lord's perspective in order to assure His victory.  Listen and learn today.

DOES GOD HAVE A “SOUL MATE” PREDETERMINED” FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE TO FIND THEM? ARE OUR SPOUSES “PRE-PICKED” BY GOD FOR OUR DESTINY AND CHILDREN? DOES GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY FORETELL WHAT WILL COME FOR OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN TO BE SAVED?A CASE STUDY WITH ISRAEL'S ANCESTORS

This sermon is drawn from Romans 8:31-39.

16th Sunday after PentecostScripture Lesson: Nehemiah 4

Who do we say Jesus is? This profound question lies at the heart of our faith journey. The sermon delves into the pivotal moment when Jesus asked His disciples this very question, emphasizing its eternal significance. We're challenged to move beyond superficial answers and truly grasp Jesus as 'God for us.' This powerful concept reminds us that Jesus isn't distant, but intimately involved in our lives. The passage from Hebrews 1 beautifully illustrates five key truths: Jesus created us, wants us to know Him, came to save us, rose for us, and is coming again. This progression from creation to eternity encapsulates the entire Gospel message. As we internalize these truths, we're called to share this hope-filled message with a world desperately in need of good news. The sermon urges us to overcome our hesitation in evangelism and boldly proclaim the transformative power of Christ's love and sacrifice.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3imWgqv Subscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjH Support this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

At the heart of Scripture beats a profound truth: God is for us. This message traces the recurring theme 'I will be their God, and they will be my people' from Genesis to Revelation, revealing God's unwavering desire for relationship with humanity. We're invited to see God not as a distant deity, but as an intimate, personal presence who pursues us relentlessly. The culmination of this pursuit is found in 2 Corinthians 5:21, where we learn that Christ became sin for us, so we might become the righteousness of God. This exchange exemplifies God's love and His initiative in our salvation. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to align our desires with God's, allowing Him to dwell not just among us, but within us. This message encourages us to embrace a deeper, more personal relationship with God, recognising that He knows us fully yet loves us completely.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3imWgqv Subscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjH Support this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

By Scott Thomas - As a Christian, there can be no pursuit more important than knowing what God's will is. Are we striving to do God's will in our life?

Romans 8:31-39 ESV God's Everlasting Love31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be[a] against us? 32 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? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 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.[b] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,“For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 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.

The Incarnation of our Blessed Lord is why we celebrate this time of year. But how long do we celebrate and what are some of the reasons that we celebrate for so long? Join Taylor and Father Mark as they dive into Christmas! 

When we say, "I'm following Jesus," where exactly are you following Him? Heaven? Many feel they follow Jesus with good behaviors because they hope for a good life today and a subsequently good eternal life. As we all know, our good behavior cannot earn or purchase this everlasting life. Still, we feel that wrong or immoral behaviors can jeopardize the immediate and potential eternal reward of following Jesus.  Is this work-for-reward arrangement in the Scriptures? In no place do we hear Jesus or His apostles offering followers a faith-laced idea of this sort. Jesus didn't provide followers a pathway to be "good people" to enjoy a "good life" and gain a good afterlife. In a seemingly different context, He made declarations about His coming Kingdom. The proofs of those who advance into His Kingdom would consist of, according to Matthew chapter 5, mourners who needed comfort, gentle and submissive ones who would inherit the earth, those who hunger and were thirst-driven for righteousness, and ones who obtain mercy by being merciful. His followers were to be peacemakers amidst calamities. Jesus also noted that His followers would be persecuted. They would be derided for His sake. However, they would experience a greater reward in His Kingdom.  Is this the life you experience? Are you in this Kingdom? It's easy to minimize the life Jesus came to deliver to mere religious adherence, but what if there is more to following Him than you've been experiencing? Listen in as Pastor Stephen discusses this in this message.
