Podcasts about good gifts

Teaching from the Word of God.

God has given Christians the best kind of freedom: freedom guided by God's word. But some people depart from the faith when they insist on abstaining from things which God created to be good gifts. Gospel freedom is the knowledge that God knows what is best for us. The post God's Good Gifts appeared first on Trinity Community Church.

Speaker: Dane BurgessScripture: Matthew 6:22-30Episode Overview:What we trust reveals what we worship. In Matthew 6:22–30, Jesus exposes the danger of allowing money, possessions, and earthly security to become substitutes for God. The issue is not simply what we own, but what owns us. When we look to wealth and circumstances to give us identity, control, and peace, we place a burden on them that they were never meant to carry. Jesus calls us away from the empty promises of earthly treasures and invites us to trust the Father who knows our needs, values His children, and faithfully provides for them.Key Highlights:• Understanding how our treasures reveal the true priorities and desires of our hearts.• Seeing how money can move from being a good gift from God to becoming a master that competes for our worship.• Exploring Jesus' teaching about spiritual vision and how what we value shapes the way we see everything else.• Recognizing anxiety as a symptom of misplaced trust and a reminder that we may be seeking security apart from God.• Discovering the freedom that comes from knowing God as a loving Father who cares for His children.• Learning to receive God's gifts with gratitude without allowing those gifts to replace the Giver.Call to Action:Reflect on the things you are tempted to trust for security, significance, or peace. Ask God to reveal where money, possessions, success, or control have taken a place in your heart that belongs only to Him. Spend time remembering the character of your Father and practice surrendering your needs to the One who already knows and cares for you.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Sermon Passage: Matthew 7:7-11

Sovereign Grace Bible Church of Ada, OK

Andrew Phillips-6/21/26-Fathers good gifts

Have you ever noticed how kids ask for something? They don't ask once and quit. They ask...and keep on asking.In Part 2 of our Pray Like a Child series, we look at Jesus' words in Matthew 7 and discover that prayer was never meant to be something we do once, but something we do often. It's a way of life. Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock with the persistence of a child and the confidence of a son or daughter of God.But this message isn't just about prayer. It's about the Father. Because the power of prayer isn't found in the prayer itself—it's found in the God we're praying to. A good Father. A generous Father. A Father who gives good gifts to His children.If you've ever struggled to trust God's goodness, wondered why He says "no," or felt discouraged in prayer, this message will remind you why you can keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking.Our good God gives good gifts.

Do we really believe that all that we need comes from God? The Israelites did, and they set aside a special feast to thank Him for His provision.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're reflecting on this past Sunday's sermon on John the Baptist and his humility—what it means to decrease so that Christ may increase. We also dive into the theme of God's good gifts and how we recognize them. We hope this episode encourages and equips you. If it does, be sure to like, comment, and share. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time.

In the spirit of celebrating my first Christmas as a Christian, this week is the perfect time to share a delightful conversation I had with Chris Legg. As both a licensed professional counselor and the lead pastor of a church, Chris has a rare combination of expertise he describes as being "a bit of a unicorn." Chris is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which now operates six locations across Texas with thirty therapists on staff.We explore the intersection of faith and psychology, discussing how secular therapy approaches to self-esteem fall short without a spiritual foundation. Chris challenges the contemporary affirmation-based therapy model, arguing that true humility comes from an accurate understanding of who we are in light of who God says we are. We discuss the persistent human tendency toward self-deception, examining why building identity solely on ourselves is fundamentally delusional—and what happens when we recognize ourselves as treasure through God's eyes instead.Our conversation ventures into controversial territory, including the relationship between Christianity and psychedelics, where Chris explains his measured "five out of ten" stance. He shares clinical examples of clients whose severe addictions were transformed through professional psychedelic-assisted treatment, while also emphasizing the need for Christian voices to remain engaged in this conversation rather than retreating into reflexive rejection. We discuss the theology of the Father, father wounds, and how childhood experiences shape our intuition of God. We examine prayer through the lens of the persistent widow and the friend at midnight, exploring what it means to approach God boldly as his children rather than with practiced piety. Chris shares insights on marriage, sacrifice, and how his son co-authored their book "Sex and Marriage" after witnessing the congruence between his father's theology and his treatment of his mother. Finally, we touch on near-death experiences, spiritual integration, and the beautiful, ongoing process of faith deconstruction and reconstruction that characterizes a lifetime of spiritual growth.Pastor Chris Legg, LPCs, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas. He and his son, Mark, are the authors of the book Sex and Marriage, which is intended to restore to marriages the power God intended. He also writes on Substack and hosts the Reconstructed Faith podcast.Books Mentioned in This Episode:Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan ManningAbba's Child by Brennan ManningLion and Lamb by Brennan ManningImagine Heaven by John BurkeImagine the God of Heaven by John BurkeThe Great Divorce by C.S.

11.16.25 Gospel of John: Believe John 17:20-23 The Good Gifts: Unity Dr. Owen Nease, Lead Pastor

Prayer can seem quite difficult, no matter how convinced we are that God calls us to it. We can struggle because we don't know what to say or how to say it. Additionally, we can a tough time because of who we are and what we think we are accomplishing as we pray. No matter your struggle, prayer can challenge you … but through prayer, God can also bless you. This week, we'll hear from Jesus how to pray in the right way for the right reward and with the right view of God.

Today's Promise: Matthew 7:11 Jesus described God as our Heavenly Father. When we pray, it's like talking to our daddy. Like a good earthly father, your Heavenly Father gives good gifts to His children. In this promise, we look at four things God does for His children. 1. He likes to give good gifts to His children. 2. He doesn't always give you what you want. 3. He wants the best for His children. 4. He is always ready to help.
