Podcasts about God with us

In our November 2 Sunday Gathering we continue our series about what Christians believe and what the Bible is all about. This week's discussion questions are below: When you hear that “God became human in order to be with us,” what emotions or questions come to mind? Why do you think the incarnation — God taking on flesh — is such a central belief of Christianity? How does the idea that God “tabernacled” or “pitched his tent” among us help you understand God's character? How would you describe the Trinity in simple terms to a friend who's never heard of it before? Why do you think God's triune nature is meant to be mysterious rather than fully explainable? What does it mean that “at the heart of the universe there is a community of love”? How does that reshape how you think about God? How does the incarnation change the way we understand God's empathy for human suffering? In what ways does Jesus' humanity make Him more approachable or relatable to you personally? Think of a time when God felt distant — how might remembering that He “became flesh” change your perspective in that moment?

Thinking about the nature of God can make him feel distant. When we realize that he is transcendent, sufficient, and eternal it's hard to think of him as close. But, the eternal God is not far away, but is always fully present with us. And recognizing his presence changes everything.Application Questions: 1. Do you constantly recognize that God is with you, or do you often slip into a functional Deism (believing he is far away)? And why do you think that is?2. Do you tend to think of God as always fully present with you? Or do you think of him as possibly being distracted? How does that change how you live?3. Does the thought that God is fully with you initially bring you comfort, fear, or both? Why?4. How might you follow David's example in praying a prayer of confession in light of God's constant presence?

This message cuts straight to the heart of why we need Jesus: our sin is an act of personal rebellion against a holy God, and we can't escape the just punishment we deserve. Alex shows that only Jesus, being both God and man, could fix this by becoming our substitute on the cross.

Joshua unpacks Philippians 2 to show how Jesus — fully God and fully human — reveals the heart of the Trinity. Christ's humility isn't just theology; it's the self-giving love that saves us and shapes how we live in unity and worship today.

Matthew 28:16-20

Should we believe in miracles? If so, why are they so rare? Why doesn't God intervene more often? And is there anything we can do to get more miracles? These are some of the core questions we will explore this Sunday as we continue our study of the life of Moses and come to one of the Bible's most spectacular miracles -- the parting of the Red Sea.

This week, our Trinity series focuses on the Son: Jesus Christ. The message tackles the essential truth of the hypostatic union: Jesus must be 100% God and 100% man simultaneously. If He is any less, His sacrifice would not be effective. Because He is fully God, His death offers the "God-sized solution" required for our sin. Because He is fully human, He is a sympathetic Saviour "acquainted with our suffering." This dual nature is the only basis for secure salvation.

-16 Oct 2025- We had the privilege of having Marc Dupont (Mantle of Praise Ministries) minister to us for an evening, and there was such an impartation of faith for healing! Take a listen and be blessed!

15.10.25 Laughter... the world may laugh at us, or with us, but God is with us in both. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Have you ever been in a situation where you've found yourself asking, "Where is God?" This week we'll grapple with a passage that tackles that question and offers some powerful insights. This is the third story in our study of the life of Moses.

(Mandarin) David Williams - Narwee Baptist Church

Our focus here is on the baptism of Jesus and how this unique moment teaches us about the very nature of God, as all three members of the Trinity are revealed. This Sunday included a number of baptisms. Chris explains the meaning of baptism and why we celebrate such occasions to this day.

Exodus 24:12-31:18

Drawing from John 14, we see how the Father, Son, and Spirit work together so that God Himself makes His home within us. Through Jesus's death and resurrection, the gap between heaven and earth is gone. The Trinity is not a mystery to solve, it is the Gospel itself: God coming near so eternal life with Him begins now.

Synopsis: Before Jeremiah was conceived or born, God knew and ordained him to be a prophet to the nations. Over the course of ministry that spanned decades, God's grace was shown by speaking to God's own people who rejected His counsel and rebuke. Jeremiah was enabled to do what some would see as a thankless and pointless task because God was with Him and is faithful to fulfill His awesome purposes. Verses in order of appearance: Romans 15:4 Jeremiah 1:1-3 2 Chronicles 34:3 Jeremiah 1:4-5 Galatians 1:15-16 Ephesians 2:10 Jeremiah 1:6-8 1 Timothy 4:12 Jeremiah 1:9-10 Jeremiah 1:11-12 Proverbs 24:30-34 Jeremiah 1:13-16 Jeremiah 1:17-19 Deuteronomy 31:8 Joshua 1:9 Isaiah 41:10 Matthew 1:20-21 Isaiah 53:3-6 Verses mentioned but not displayed: Jeremiah 15:20 Joshua 21:18 2 Kings 24-25 Proverbs 31:23 Psalm 139:15

16th Sunday after PentecostScripture Lesson: Nehemiah 4

We begin our foray into the New Testament with the Gospel of John; not the first gospel in most English Bibles, but the one that most closely parallels the beginning of the Bible in Genesis. What is different about John’s version of Jesus’s story, and what does he emphasize more than the other authors? Click … Continue reading God With Us

Psalm 16 FURTHER DISCUSSION • How has the church (God’s people) impacted your life? What was David’s view of God’s people (v. 3)? • Read verses 7-8. Where have you seen God’s guidance and presence in your life? • If you were talking to a non- believer, what would you say the value of your faith is (relationship with Jesus)? • What does verse 11 tell us about our relationship with God?

Ps. Kesavan Balasingham

So what is the indwelling and work of the Holy Spirit in believers? He gives new life, sanctifies, guides, assures, and sustains us through our trials. Without the Spirit, Christianity would be an empty shell. The indwelling of God is a unique hallmark of the Christian faith. Come ask, seek, and find. Come, listen to Pastor Daniel as he draws wisdom from the gospel of Romans 8:9-11, 16 John 14:16-17, and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 to deliver his sermon.

1 John 4:7-16   Discipline works for us until it doesn't. When we just try to do something or not do something, we often come to a point where we give up because our desires overcome our willpower.   God doesn't want to change your habits, he wants to change you.   How does God work in us?

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which means, God with us (Matthew 1:23). Thank you, Lord!

This Sunday Zach W. Lambert will be kicking off our Year of God With Us!From beginning to end, Scripture is the story of a God who draws near. But, for many of us today, that can feel hard to believe. With so many hard things in this world and in our lives, it's easy to wonder: Where is God?This year, we want to honor that question—not with easy answers but with a journey to notice God's presence again. We'll also explore how God is working in our lives and in our world, and how we can join God in that work.We live-stream every Sunday at 9:30am CT.

Jon Kimmel | Psalm 23 | August 10, 2025

DJ Manna shares three songs from the God With Us collection that remind us of one big truth—God is always near. Whether you're having a good day, a sad day, or a confusing day, these songs point to the comfort and joy we find in God's presence. You'll hear “God With Us,” “Psalm 146,” and “Shout Joyfully”—each one building from quiet trust to loud praise! What You'll Learn:

Send us a textMy guest is Matt Mikalatos — author, screenwriter, producer, and all-around brilliant storyteller. He has written award-winning books, including the beautifully illustrated graphic novel God With Us, the devotional Praying with Saint Nicholas, and an imaginative Young Adult fantasy series, The Sunlit Lands. He's also co-authored Loving Disagreement with Kathy Khang — a timely, powerful book about how to stay in relationship, even when the culture says it's time to cancel.As an undergraduate student in creative writing at the University of California, Riverside, Matt studied under the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, Percival Everett, author of the wildly popular novel entitled JAMES.  Matt's story doesn't stop there. He spent 20 years with a global campus ministry (Campus Crusade for Christ now known as CRU), lived in China, became fluent in Mandarin, and worked deeply in cross-cultural ministry. He's seen the evolution — or devolution — of Evangelicalism from the inside, and he doesn't shy away from talking about it. From Trumpism and anti-democratic rhetoric to hot-button issues like immigration, LGBTQ rights, and even “chainsaw massacre” politics, we go there — and Matt helps us understand the power of story over shouting matches.There's exciting news - he's just been notified that a script he's written has been greenlit. The production of a full-length feature film begins soon, with filming in Thailand.Join me as Matt and I talk about faith, storytelling, culture, and how, in this divided world, we can still communicate and respect each other — even when we disagree. It's a lively, eye-opening, and deeply human exchange you won't want to miss. Mike Mikalatos WebSiteSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

We're not just a church. We're a Family.Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Do you ever forget that God knows everything and is everywhere... all at the same time? Psalm 139 reminds us to be aware of God's knowledge of us, His presence with us, and His power within us. When we recognize these truths, living with God's purpose in our lives becomes more meaningful. 

What does it mean that Jesus is God with us? What are the practical implications of Jesus being God with us?

Hope Reminders | Summer of Psalms This sermon from Psalm 121 invites us to shift our gaze from the chaos of the world to the presence of God. He's not distant or detached. He lifts us up, protects us, and walks with us, now and forever. Key Insights: 1. Hope begins when we stop looking around for help and start looking up to God. 2. God is not distant—He is present, active, and personal through every step of our journey. 3. Our spiritual security doesn't depend on our strength but on God's ongoing protection and care. 4. Worship is not just for the destination—it's meant to happen in the journey. 5. When your gaze is fixed on God, you begin to stand in grace, peace, and purpose. Scripture Focus: Psalms 121 (https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.121.ESV) If you're looking for real hope, it's found in the One who made the mountains and promises to never leave your side.

My wife has recently painted these words on a wall in our house as a reminder to us both: “Mightier than the waves of the sea, is His love for us!” (Inspired by Psalm 93:4). Please remember this. Mightier than the tempest you are facing is His love for you! - Chris Eyte Daily Meditation When life crashes over us like an impossible wave—unexpected illness, personal crises, or spiritual darkness—it’s easy to feel utterly hopeless. In this moving devotional, Chris Eyte shares his miraculous journey from the brink of death to full recovery after a brain bleed. His story is a testament that God truly makes the impossible possible. Rooted in Matthew 19:26, this reflection reminds us that even when our own strength fails, the “J Factor”—Jesus Christ Himself—steps in. His name, “God With Us,” is a promise that no situation is beyond His power or love.

Remember when the risen Jesus encountered that pair of travelers on the road to Emmaus? The pair were grief-stricken over the death of Christ—but didn’t recognize He was walking WITH them! That's when Jesus gave them the biblical history lesson of their lives. We'll re-live that scene this week on The Land and the Book. Plus, you'll be encouraged in Charlie Dyer's devotional, The God of Impossibilities. Don't miss a minute of The Land and the Book.

The meaning of Christmas is that God got flesh and blood. In Jesus Christ the holy and transcendent God became really and fully and truly human. He shared in our humanity. I submit to you that the traditional, moralistic religion has completely forgotten this whole idea. In fact, I submit to you that if you and I really understood the fact that Jesus Christ shares in our humanity, we'd live differently.  What does that teach us about God? It teaches us three things: 1) God has a concern for the physical, 2) God has a knowledge of the sorrowful, and 3) God desires the relational.

Abraham is a lot like many of us, who are not from where we now live. We've been brought somewhere from elsewhere. Abraham is the same. Abraham left his home community and became an exile. The Bible tells us repeatedly in the New Testament that each of us should see ourselves as exiles. We should live where we're called to live as exiles. What does that mean? What did Abraham actually do in his exile? Let's look at what the Bible says about how Christians are supposed to relate to the cities to which they've been called.  We learn three things from this passage: 1) God builds cities, 2) God sends people to cities, and yet at the same time, 3) God frees us from cities. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 11, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16.

Hebrews is written to people who had suffered a great deal of persecution and difficulty. They were getting discouraged. Some of them were saying, “What good is this Christianity? We're good people. Why are such bad things happening to us?” The writer is showing them that they have resources as Christians such that they can face life, no matter what it throws at them, with greatness and power and stamina. And in Hebrews 12, we come to the final case study that shows this. We come to Jesus himself. By looking at what Jesus suffered, why Jesus suffered, and how he suffered, we learn how we can face anything and triumph. This passage shows us three basic principles: 1) you will handle life's difficulties depending on your focus, 2) you will deal with your troubles as long as you understand Jesus' work, and 3) you should discern his model.
