Podcasts about grace god

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon NotesPT story: Overusing wrong muscles, learning what the right ones feel like.Spiritual parallel: Faith is our central muscle group.Often atrophied → we rely on self-reliance, control → strain.Goal: Learn what faith “feels like” and strengthen it.Faith grows in response to grace (10:19–22)Sequence: Grace → Faith.Grace = God's free kindness in Christ; Faith = saying “yes” to it.Ongoing: Grace sustains faith for life.When faith feels weak: Seek grace, not just “more faith.”Means of grace: Scripture, fellowship, worship, Communion, prayer.Faith sees that which is unseen (11:1)Assurance of future promises; conviction of present spiritual realities.Not irrational—like belief in love.Faith = “organ to see the invisible order” (F.F. Bruce).Example – Moses(11:26–27)A. In TemptationTurned from Egypt's visible wealth by looking to unseen reward in Christ.Application: Resist visible false promises (wealth, status, sex, control) by seeing greater unseen reward.B. In SufferingEndured Pharaoh's wrath by “seeing Him who is invisible.”Application: Fix eyes on unseen love, power, promises of God.Faith in suffering = visible witness to invisible grace.Discussion Questions:How would you define grace? What about faith?In Eph 2:8, Paul says we are saved by grace through faith. What does he mean? How are grace and faith linked?Give examples of something real that you can't see.Temptation and suffering are often the context in which faith is used and strengthened.  How so?In what way is someone's faith amid personal suffering a benefit to the whole community? Can you give examples of where you have seen this?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon? Email Randy Forrester ().

Join us in today's sermon podcast as we delve into the profound teachings of the Apostle Paul and explore the parable of the wedding banquet from the Gospel of Matthew 22. Through this message, discover how God's invitation extends beyond the initial invitees, reaching out to those in the highways and byways, calling them to a divine celebration. We journey through biblical history, from the call of Abraham and Sarah to the prophetic insights of Isaiah and Jeremiah, culminating in the mission of Jesus. This episode highlights God's unwavering mission to restore humanity's relationship with Him and invites us to participate in His divine plan. As we embrace the righteousness of Christ, we are called to share this grace with others, ensuring that all have the opportunity to join in the great wedding banquet. Let's reflect on how we can partake in God's mission and share His love with the world. With Pastor Mike Curry. ---- GOD'S MISSION AND MY PURPOSE Matthew 22:1-14 Introduction: The Bible tells a very simple story of a loving heavenly Father working tirelessly to restore relationship with his lost children. God invited Abraham and Sarah to join in his mission. (Gen. 12:1-3; Heb. 11:8-10) God chose Abraham to be a man of great faith who became the father not only of an earthly nation (Israelites) but also of a spiritual nation (the church) God invited the prophets to join in his mission. All the prophets gave puzzle pieces to God's people of faith to give them hope for the coming Messiah. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Joel III. God sent his Son, Jesus, to plainly declare his mission. (John 4:27-38) “My food,” Jesus said, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work” (John 4:34). God invites you to join in his mission. (Matthew 22:1-14) Our purpose in God's mission is to invite friends, family members, and everyone in our realm of influence to come to God. Conclusion: From the day God created humanity until today, he has been on a mission to live in vital, personal relationship with every person. God invites us to participate with him in that mission.

Sermon series: Means of Grace: God's Help for Sinners and SufferersWe often think of Baptism and the Lord's Supper as rituals—but they are so much more. They are visible signs of God's invisible grace, given by Jesus Himself to assure us of His love. In our doubts, struggles, and failures, the sacraments speak louder than words. Through them, God says to us, “I am your God, and you are my people”.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 11 May 2025

Sermon series: Means of Grace: God's Help for Sinners and SufferersPrayer is one of the gifts God has given us to increase and strengthen our faith. In this passage, we see that prayer is possible only because of Christ, that it is for the Spirit to move our heart's gaze to Christ and His blessings, and that we might have power to live as God's people in all areas of life.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 4 May 2025

Forgiveness is total or not at all. Can we let go of all attachment to grievances and wanting things to be different than what we are given? The best way to let go of what we do not want is to stop fighting it, and focus on the good conditions of Grace that hold out the peace and joy of God for us. Can we "completely let go?" Total forgiveness lets us receive the Grace God has in store for us. As we enter into the realm of the Silent Mind, Grace comes rushing to us. Then we are certain that Life Takes Care of us. We must completely forgive everyone and everything to receive this total, Divine Care.  Our mistakes have no conesequence when we let Forgiveness rest upon all of them. We see the face of Christ in us and others instead of our mistakes. We cannot blame others for getting results we deem undesirable. These results are Lessons we would learn to release and forgive. Grace is our natural inheritance. But we have to put in our diligence to master complete forgiveness. AMEN. 

Sermon series: Means of Grace: God's Help for Sinners and SufferersGod has given us His authoritative Word, the Bible, so that we may know salvation in Jesus Christ, as well as how we can please our Lord. On top of that, He has blessed us with the gift of preaching so that we may hear what God has to say to us today. All of these point us to the greatest treasure Himself, Jesus Christ, who was the Word made flesh and in whom is eternal life.Preacher: Joel SimDate: 27 April 2025

Numbers 15: Historical Facts and Keywords Historical Context & Summary Numbers 15 takes place after the Israelites' rebellion in Numbers 14, where they refused to enter the Promised Land and were sentenced to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. Despite their punishment, God still provided laws and instructions, showing His ongoing relationship with them. 1.Laws on Offerings (Verses 1–21): •God commanded the Israelites to present grain, drink, and burnt offerings alongside their animal sacrifices when they entered the Promised Land. •This law applied to both Israelites and foreigners living among them, emphasizing that all people under God's covenant should follow the same worship practices. 2.Sin Offerings (Verses 22–31): •Distinction was made between unintentional and intentional sins. •Atonement could be made for unintentional sins through sacrifices, but high-handed (defiant) sins were punishable by being cut off from the community. 3.The Sabbath-Breaker (Verses 32–36): •A man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath, violating God's command. •God instructed Moses to have the man stoned by the community, reinforcing the seriousness of obeying divine laws. 4.Tassels on Garments (Verses 37–41): •God commanded the Israelites to wear tzitzit (tassels) with a blue cord on their garments as a visual reminder to obey His commandments. •The tassels symbolized holiness and devotion to God, preventing the people from straying after their own desires. Key Themes & Keywords •Obedience – Following God's laws was essential for both individuals and the community. •Holiness – The tassels served as a physical reminder of Israel's calling to be holy. •Judgment – The Sabbath-breaker's punishment showed that willful defiance had consequences. •Grace – God still provided ways for forgiveness through sacrifices for unintentional sins. •Covenant – The laws reaffirmed the Israelites' unique relationship with God. Numbers 15 highlights God's expectations for His people and the importance of living in obedience, even in the wilderness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

To get a clearer picture of God, we need to understand His unearned, undeserved favor toward us. His grace goes far beyond simply forgiving our sins; it is His way of dealing with those who receive Christ. Grace provides assurance, stability, and direction in the lives of believers. It is not something reserved for when we eventually get to heaven; it immediately begins working in our daily lives the instant we believe and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The beauty of grace is that it is based not on what we do, but on what Jesus already did and our faith in that. We are forgiven, holy, and righteous not because of our efforts, but because God said so. Knowing and accepting our right-standing with God changes our entire lives.

God Is Passionate and Compassionate — Review of Lesson #4 of the 1st Quarter of 2025 -The Sabbath School Lesson study guide can be found here:— https://ssnet.org/lessons/25a/less04.html— https://www.adultbiblestudyguide.org/archives— https://sabbath-school.adventech.io/enThe title of this quarter's theme is: The God of Love and JusticeFor the next 13 weeks (January to March 2025), we will study the tension between two of God's attributes that most people have a hard time reconciling: God's Justice and God's Love.  This is key for us to understand, especially in a world of sin and misery, where we need to be able to preach the gospel with urgency.Related Podcasts:— The Law and Grace— Law and Grace— God's Promises to me are sure— Having the Right Perspective— Everlasting Covenant— The Divinity of Jesus Christ— Christ, Humanity and Salvation— Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?— O Live That Wilt Not Let Me Go -- An Everlasting LoveRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Love or Like?— Grace, Grace, and More GraceSupport the showIf you have any questions or comments, please send them to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comDuring many of our podcasts, you will hear us make reference to “The Key Principles of Effective Bible Study,” a document which outlines core concepts shown in the scriptures that will help you better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines. We have done a whole podcast series on these principles which can be found here (https://BibleStudy.ASBzone.com/357512/8572886).God's Precious Word is a condensed, 9-part series, based on the same document.

Both CS Lewis and RC Sproul asked, "If you could boil down take Christian theology and boil it into one word, what would it be?" Love? Faith? They answered that the one word would be Grace. Grace is like a huge bank account and faith is the account number to get access to it. God provides the grace, and we respond to it with faith. Another way to look at it is to contrast 3 words and what they mean: Judgement - getting what you deserve Mercy - not getting what you deserve Grace - getting something that you don't deserve Grace is something that costs everything for the Giver (Jesus) and nothing for the recipient (you and I). John 1:14 tells us that, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, ...full of grace and truth." Today we're studying Matthew 20:1-16.

God's grace is not just a concept to understand but an experience to live. Drawing on biblical accounts, it highlights how God's grace is active, personal, and transformative, offering forgiveness, love, and adoption into His family despite our shortcomings. The call to actions is to seek a deeper, experiential relationship with God, anchored in His unchanging grace and truth. 

Today we delve into the Christmas story from Luke 2, uncovering the authentic love displayed by both God and His people. We see examples of man's love for God through Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna - each demonstrating devotion despite challenging circumstances. However, the heart of the message reminds us that Scripture ultimately reveals God's love for man. His pursuit of humanity, from Abraham to Jesus, shows that our love is merely a response to His initiating love. This realization challenges us to move beyond simply returning God's love to loving Him for who He is. As we grow in our faith, our goal shifts from seeking blessings to becoming more Christ-like, even when it's uncomfortable. This Christmas, let's reflect on how we can let our good deeds shine not for our glory, but so others may praise our heavenly Father.If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out!If you want to talk to someone about going deeper in your faith or starting to walk with Jesus on a daily basis, please reach out to us at office@graceva.com

Pastor Bill explores the true essence of Christmas through the lens of Matthew's Gospel, emphasizing the humble and scandalous nature of Jesus' birth. By drawing parallels with historical and fictional figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Pastor Bill challenges us to embrace Jesus, amidst worldly criticism.

In this message, we explore how God's grace is displayed through the imperfect people in Jesus' family tree. Despite their flaws, God used them to bring His plan of salvation to fruition, showing that no one is beyond His redemption. God's grace isn't about earning, it's about receiving—and no one is too far gone to be part of His plan.

Aaron and Tiff reflect on God's grace as they get older. Listen on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bND2GwvNm9Y

Like an anchor holds the ship and keeps it from moving, so does guilt hold the person who is attached to it. Guilt is not from God but it is real nonetheless. It is actually a satanic tool of the devil to freeze you in your tracks and keep you from moving forward.Because guilt is real, we need to learn how to deal with it. And once you do, you a re free to move once again.Listen carefully and discover the Grace God has for you, especialaly when guilt tries to move in and take you captive.

Closer, Pt. 4 | August 25, 2024Pastor Wes Morris John 1:1-14 (NIV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God...The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ✓ Truth: God's standard.John 17:17 (TLB) Make them pure and holy through teaching them your words of truth.✓ Grace: God's favor.✓ Without truth, we become worldly.    Without grace, we become judgmental. ✓ Truth without grace is mean.   Grace without truth is meaningless. ✓ Grace invites us to be free so the truth can set us free. Ephesians 2:8 (NIV) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God... THE BALANCE OF GRACE AND TRUTH John 8:9-11 (NIV) At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”“No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”I. WALK IN HUMILITY.John 8:6 (TLB) They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.Philippians 2:3 (ESV) Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.II. SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE.Ephesians 4:15 (TLB) We will lovingly follow the truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become more and more in every way like Christ who is the Head of his body, the Church.

To get a clearer picture of God, we need to understand His unearned, undeserved favor toward us. His grace goes far beyond simply forgiving our sins; it is His way of dealing with those who receive Christ. Grace provides assurance, stability, and direction in the lives of believers. It is not something reserved for when we eventually get to heaven; it immediately begins working in our daily lives the instant we believe and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The beauty of grace is that it is based not on what we do, but on what Jesus already did and our faith in that. We are forgiven, holy, and righteous not because of our efforts, but because God said so. Knowing and accepting our right-standing with God changes our entire lives.
