Podcasts about Gospel

David Platt is here today, and I'm SO excited about this conversation. He recently got back from Brazil and shared some incredible stories from his time there, and we talk about the role we play in the Gospel reaching every nation, including unreached people groups. We were never meant to watch the harvest from the sidelines. We were created to experience life by leading others to life. The harvest isn't just a mission—it's an invitation. If you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 116 (the guidebook is available for you at anniefdowns.com/seasons).  . . . . .

Scams are everywhere...

We live in a world that never seems to slow down. Deadlines, family demands, and constant notifications all compete for our attention.But what if God designed rest—not just work—as being essential to our flourishing? Today, we're talking with Tom Nelson about the Sabbath, why it matters, and how it can transform the way we live and trust God.Dr. Tom Nelson is the President of Made to Flourish and has served as the Senior Pastor of Christ Community Church, a multi-site congregation across Kansas City, for over 30 years. He is also the author of Why Your Work Matters: How God Uses Our Everyday Vocations to Transform Us, Our Neighbors, and the World.God's Design for Both Work and RestFrom the very first pages of Scripture, we see that God's creation design includes both work and rest. These are not competing ideas but complementary rhythms woven into what it means to bear God's image. Yet in our culture, it's easy to emphasize one and neglect the other. We celebrate hard work—and rightly so—but often ignore the equally important gift of rest.Genesis 2 begins not with human work, but with divine rest. “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested” (Genesis 2:2). God didn't rest because He was weary. He rested to delight in His creation and to model for us a rhythm of life that mirrors His own.Sabbath is a gift. It's not an obstacle to productivity but an invitation to communion with our Creator. From the Garden of Eden to the Ten Commandments, from Jesus' ministry to the promise of the new creation, the thread of Sabbath runs through the entire story of Scripture.When we honor that rhythm—six days of labor and one day of holy rest—we experience an echo of Eden and a foretaste of eternity, when we will work and rest in perfect harmony with God.Rediscovering Sabbath as a GiftGod designed us for a relationship with Himself and with one another. Sabbath helps us recalibrate those relationships. It reorders our hearts around love, not accomplishment. The Triune God invites us to rest so that our hearts might be re-centered on intimacy with Him rather than on our own achievements.That's what Sabbath is really about: not simply stopping our work, but remembering who sustains it. It reminds us that the primary calling of our lives is not to do for God, but to be with God.For many of us, we may see Sabbath as optional—something good in theory but impossible in practice. However, neglecting rest affects our spiritual formation, our relationships, and even our physical and emotional health.Sabbath is not a duty; it's a grace. It's not legalism; it's life. Sabbath is God's way of teaching us to steward not just our resources, but our time. We often speak of stewarding our time, talent, and treasure, yet forget that time itself is one of God's greatest gifts.We may think of Sabbath as “rest from work,” but we should really view it as “work from rest.” Our week should flow out of the rest we receive—not the other way around.Guarding Against the Idolatry of WorkOur work matters deeply to God. But like all good things, it can become disordered. When we place our identity, meaning, or security in what we accomplish, work becomes an idol. Sabbath protects us from that idolatry.By resting, we declare that God—not our productivity—sustains the world. Sabbath breaks the cycle of self-reliance and teaches us to trust the One who never sleeps. It frees us to delight in beauty, to nurture relationships, and to experience renewal in body and soul.Many people say, “That sounds wonderful, but you don't know my schedule.” Between raising children, leading organizations, and building businesses, the idea of a day of rest can feel unrealistic.But Sabbath is not a test of devotion—it's an act of grace. Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). God gives us this rhythm for our good. So start small. Begin with an afternoon. Disconnect from technology. Step away from the endless noise and hurry. Give your soul permission to breathe.As you do, you'll find that rest becomes not a luxury, but a necessity. You'll also discover that Sabbath rhythms bear witness to a watching world—an act of quiet evangelism declaring that our trust is in God's provision, not our own effort.A Practical Picture of SabbathFor many, Sunday naturally serves as a Sabbath—a day centered on corporate worship and community. Begin the day in God's Word. Gather with your church family to worship and remember the gospel. Then build the rest of the day around delight: time with loved ones, enjoying nature, sharing meals, or simply slowing down.Sabbath isn't about inactivity; it's about being present—to God, to others, and to the world He made. It's a day of delight, not productivity—a time to remember that we are human beings, not human doings.Without Sabbath, those we love often receive only our leftovers—whatever energy remains after six days of striving. But when rest becomes part of our rhythm, our relationships deepen. We offer the people closest to us not exhaustion, but joy.Sadly, when people face burnout or relational breakdown, Sabbath is almost always missing. Rest is essential to wholeness.Ultimately, Sabbath points us to Jesus Himself—the Lord of the Sabbath. He invites us, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). That invitation is not just for a day each week—it's for every day of our lives.When we rest, we remember that the world is not upheld by our effort but by His grace. True rest is not found in the absence of work but in the presence of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Our new community ministry is only about 25% funded right now, but we'd really like to launch it in a biblically sound way. As a leadership team, how should we move forward with that?A debt settlement counselor is offering to settle $36,000 of debt for $29,000, with monthly payments of $575 over 52 months. That adds up to just $29,000 total.

This Sunday, guest speaker Pastor Bruce Goodwin from Light City Church continues our series, This Much I Know, exploring a foundational question of our faith: What is the Gospel? Through the story of Nicodemus in John 3, Pastor Bruce reminds us that Jesus's saving message not only attracts crowds but also reaches individuals. The Gospel, plain and simple, is this: Christ lived, died, and rose again to bring God's children back to Himself.

"Finishing Well" is the name of the game. Here was a rich, young ruler - a 1st century "yuppie" if you will - who, although getting off to a rather problematic beginning, finished well, indeed. A rich young ruler questioned Christ about what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. Mark's Gospel includes a detail that Matthew and Luke failed to mention: "And Jesus looking upon him loved him..." This hints at the possibility that young John Mark himself may have been that rich young man. This study contains 16 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 07-01-2010

“The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who gave His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. “It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings.”

How does the Nicene Creed unite believers from East and West? This episode of The Missions Podcast—in collaboration with Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church's Captivate & Conform podcast—features Dr. Don Fairbairn, a theologian and former missionary to Soviet Georgia. The conversation explores the intersection of missions, theology, and church history, particularly how the Nicene Creed and patristic theology offer transcultural insight for modern missiology. Dr. Fairbairn shares his journey from seminary to the mission field and how his time in Eastern Europe reshaped his academic focus on Eastern Orthodoxy and early church thought. He emphasizes that the early church's theology was already multilingual and multicultural, forged by African and Asian theologians rather than Europeans—a reminder that Christianity's foundations are inherently global. Fairbairn advocates for retrieving the transcultural truths of the Nicene Creed and a deeper understanding of the relational nature of salvation. Key Topics: The transcultural and multilingual origins of the Nicene Creed Differences between Eastern Orthodox and Western (Protestant) theology The concept of divine acceptance vs. human striving for God How patristic theology informs modern missiology The importance of understanding the Trinity in global missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?

Title: Stewards the Gospel Preacher: Jamie Dunlop Series: The Wisdom of God Passage: 1 Corinthians 4:1-7

Notes Luke 19:1-10 Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Robb McCoy and Eric Fistler explore the readings for the week, focusing on the Gospel of Zacchaeus, the lament of Habakkuk, and insights from 2 Thessalonians. They discuss the often misunderstood nature of Zacchaeus' actions, the powerful protest against injustice found in Habakkuk's lament, and the encouragement offered to the early church in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes themes of justice, hospitality, community, and the importance of maintaining faith amidst societal challenges. Takeaways The podcast introduces the readings for the week, focusing on Zacchaeus, Habakkuk, and 2 Thessalonians. Zacchaeus is often misunderstood; his actions reflect a pre-existing commitment to justice rather than a conversion. The crowd's grumbling about Zacchaeus highlights societal judgments and the need for hospitality. Habakkuk's lament serves as a powerful protest against injustice, emphasizing the need for faith amidst turmoil. The call to write a vision in Habakkuk signifies the importance of clarity and hope in times of distress. 2 Thessalonians addresses the struggles of the early church, encouraging perseverance and faithfulness. The text warns against the temptation to revel in the suffering of others, promoting a message of grace instead. The podcast emphasizes the importance of community and the good works happening within congregations. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their worthiness and the value of their contributions to the church. The conversation highlights the need for a vision of hope and justice in the face of societal challenges.

In his sermon, Pastor Chad Glover uses the Gospel Bridge to answer the question, “What is the gospel message?” He shares how to receive the gift of salvation and know that you are in a right relationship with God. Salvation is a free gift from God. Because God's standard is perfection, no one is good enough to get to Him on their own. But Jesus suffered and died and rose again so that you could have eternal life! That's good news. Two equations in the message of the gospel:Jesus' Death + Jesus' Resurrection = The GospelBelief + Confession = SalvationJoin Pastor Chad as he shares what the gospel message is, and make the decision to place your faith in Jesus today! Key Scripture: Romans 6:23 Connect with us on Social Media ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Connect with Pastor Phil ↴Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc/Web: https://livingproof.co/resources/books/Learn more about the A-Life Discipleship Journey: https://alife.livingproof.co/ More information on our sermons: https://livingproof.co/sermons/Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

Freedom is a precious gift...

In Pursue Righteousness and Kindness, Whitney Hopler reflects on Proverbs 21:21 and reveals how righteousness and kindness are designed to work hand in hand in the life of a believer. Too often, we separate the two—valuing truth over grace or compassion over conviction—but Scripture reminds us that real holiness comes from their balance. True righteousness isn’t rigid, and true kindness isn’t weak; together, they mirror the heart of Jesus, who perfectly embodied both truth and love in every word and action. Highlights Proverbs 21:21 connects righteousness and kindness as virtues meant to be pursued together. Righteousness without kindness can lead to self-righteousness and harshness. Kindness without righteousness can turn into people-pleasing and compromise. Jesus modeled perfect balance—He stood firmly for truth while showing compassion to sinners. Pursuing both virtues leads to spiritual growth, deeper relationships, and the fullness of life God promises. Living with both conviction and compassion points others toward God’s truth and love. Join the Conversation Do you find it easier to stand for truth or to lead with kindness? How can you bring more balance between the two in your life this week? Share your reflections and examples of living out Proverbs 21:21. Tag @LifeAudioNetwork and use #PursueRighteousness #LiveKindly #FaithInAction to join the conversation.

Sunday evening message from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark as we explore Jesus as the Healer. Mark offers us a vivid snapshot of just twenty-four hours in the life of Jesus. In this brief yet beautiful account of His healing ministry, we discover profound truths about how to bring our own areas of brokenness before Him. This passage reveals what characterizes healing in the kingdom of God and how both healing and the absence of it can ultimately point us to something far greater. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:29-34

You were meant to live a life of ethical beauty. Jesus shows us how.How should I live? It's one of the most important questions in life. Every human being is a moral creature; the problem is that we don't all agree on morality. But what if there was an objective moral standard that's true in all times and places? That's exactly what Scripture gives us - and it's exactly what our conscience needs. In this sermon, we explore how faith in Jesus makes it possible to live a life of ethical beauty.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.

Jesus doesn't give signs to decode the end, but calls his people to endure deception, disaster, and difficulty with calm faithfulness, trusting that the gospel will advance until he returns.

[sermon_banner] On this Reformation Sunday, we pause our study in Luke to ask: is the Reformation over? No—it continues. Our calling remains to guard, uphold, and proclaim the one true gospel of grace that alone saves. [sermon_media_line]

“I just want the Bible. How much does it cost?” First, the young Druze woman tried to access and read her own religion's holy book. But she wasn't allowed to read it. Then she tried to find a Quran. Finally, she came to a church and asked to purchase a Bible, worried she wouldn't have enough money to pay for it. The pastor told her that God's Word is priceless, but that he would give it to her without cost. Shocked, she took the Bible and began to read, eventually giving her life to Jesus. Brother Michael, a gospel worker in the Middle East, will share more of this young woman's powerful story and the Christian persecution she faced from her family while standing firm in Christ. In spite of persecution, even locked in a room, she continued to share the gospel. Learn what it's like to live as a Christian in the Middle East, and what believers face after leaving Muslim or Druze backgrounds to follow Christ. As believers engage in conversations with family and friends, they carefully plant spiritual seeds while testing their listeners' hearts to see if they are ready to go deeper. Brother Michael also shares how he trains and leads discipleship through Discovery Bible Study groups, which are multiplying as new believers share their personal testimonies with family and friends. One group started with nine believers, but today has multiplied into more than twenty groups with 150 believers! Hear how you can pray specifically for Brother Michael and our persecuted Christian family in the Middle East. The International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP) is next Sunday! The Voice of the Martyrs offers resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2–and throughout the year. Be sure to watch the new short film telling the story of ongoing Christian persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo—and how God is bringing healing to Christians who've suffered attacks and trauma. Access all the IDOP resources here.

Even when we feel vaguely guilty for things in our past, or when we feel outraged by what we see other people doing, we have trouble talking about sin and evil. In our society, we've been taught that words like “sin” or “evil” are oppressive or meaningless. Yet we sense something out there that we don't have the vocabulary for. But the Bible gives us a far richer vocabulary and helps us understand sin in far more nuanced ways. In Jeremiah 2, there's a prophesy from Jeremiah to a nation in spiritual decline. And in it, we'll see how sin is replacing God, and the result is addiction of spirit. Jeremiah's telling us about 1) the dynamics of spiritual attraction, 2) the dynamics of spiritual addiction, and 3) the dynamics of spiritual restoration. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 14, 1999. Series: What's Really Wrong with the World. Scripture: Jeremiah 2:1-8.

The Bible teaches that the Gospel sets believers free from the law. It also teaches that believers are obligated to uphold the law. Is Scripture contradicting itself? Certainly not!

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comHebrews 6Believers must grow beyond the basics of faith and pursue spiritual maturity. They are warned about the danger of falling away after receiving the truth. Those who abandon it are pictured as crucifying again the Son of God and are likened to worthless ground that drinks in the rain but produces only thorns and is cursed. Still, there is confidence of better things for those who continue in faithfulness. God is just and will not forget the work done in His name. Diligence and endurance are encouraged, imitating those who through faith and patience inherit what was promised. God's promises are certain, confirmed with an oath, giving believers strong encouragement. This hope is a secure and steady anchor for the soul, reaching beyond this life where the Savior has gone. We are encouraged to move forward in spiritual maturity, rather than remain in the early stages of faith. God calls us to a deepening commitment, characterized by perseverance, exploration, and love in action. We must take seriously the warning against falling away and instead be intentional and passionate about anchoring our hope in God. He sees our service and remembers our work, and His patience is just in assuring that our labor is not in vain. Our hope is not uncertain; it is rooted in the unchanging nature of God and the certainty of His promises. As we imitate those who patiently trusted God and received the promises, we live confidently and faithfully, fueled by enduring hope through Jesus Christ. Faithful Father, we thank You for challenging us to grow beyond the foundational principles of Christianity. We accept that challenge and ask for Your assistance. Please strengthen us so that we refuse to drift or become complacent. When trials tempt us to retreat, anchor our hearts in the hope founded in Jesus. Remind us that You are just and never forget the acts of love we perform in Your name. Guard us from unbelief; nourish our lives so they may yield the fruit of righteousness, not thorns. Keep us steadfast in Your unchanging oath and promise until our Savior returns.  Thought Questions: How do you continue to grow faith? What tools or approaches to scripture help you understand and apply God's will more effectively? Is it possible for someone whom God has saved to fall away? How do you diligently connect to God in a way that prevents this outcome? What promises has God made to you that help you stay faithful in times of trouble? What has Jesus done that has instilled unshakable hope?
