Podcasts about grace part

Welcome to Episode #250, which is a continuation of my conversation with Brian and Danna Mayhall.  Their daughter Amelia went to Heaven in July of 2013 after sustaining a devastating brain injury due to a woman's deliberate decision to drive the wrong way down the freeway. In last week's episode, we came to know Amelia's beautiful and compassionate spirit and the painful circumstances surrounding her death.  Today, we continue that conversation by stepping into some of the most tender parts of the Mayhall's grief journey—walking through forgiveness, learning how grief evolves over time, and discovering how hope can rise even in the darkest places. You'll hear how they've kept Amelia's memory alive in meaningful ways, how their faith has been refined through suffering, and how God continues to use their story to comfort and support other grieving parents.This episode is for every parent who has known deep sorrow—and who is holding on to the hope of eternity. Let's listen in.I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

A new MP3 sermon from Christ Church Presbyterian is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Ordinary Means of Grace, Part 2 Subtitle: An Exposition of Joshua Speaker: Dr. Jon D. Payne Broadcaster: Christ Church Presbyterian Event: Sunday Service Date: 4/6/2025 Bible: Joshua 5:1-12 Length: 45 min.

Should Christians stop dying to themselves? Yes, and here's why… Discussion Questions: What are the true “riches” in Christ Jesus? React to this statement: You are always in the Spirit. Why does your death with Jesus matter when it comes to temptation? React to this statement: The flesh is leftover “stinking thinking.” It's not who you are! Why do you think so many religious leaders teach Christians to kill themselves daily? How is the gospel more beautiful and healthier than that morbid religiosity? What do your own death and resurrection mean for your spiritual heart? React to this statement: You are a slave of righteousness.

What if the real gospel isn't about getting closer to God?You've probably heard it all – spend “more time” with God, be “intentional,” confess more, surrender more, and then, maybe you'll end up closer to God. But what if that's all backward? What if you're already as close as you'll ever be? No striving, climbing, or spiritual gymnastics – just IN.If the apostles were here today, they'd set the record straight: Closeness with God isn't earned, upgraded, or improved over time. You're either in or out. And if you're in, you're in – forever. Baptism won't seal the deal. More good behavior won't level you up. And no, you don't “abide” some days and wander off other days. You're fully united with Christ right now, no matter what.Progressively getting closer to God is a myth. Watch now and celebrate your “divine entwine” with Him!Discussion Questions:1. What role does baptism play? In water? In the Spirit?2. React to this statement: You are IN the Trinity.3. How close are you to Jesus? Why?4. What does it mean to “abide” in Christ? Are you abiding in Him? Why or why not?5. React to this statement: Christ is your life and you will be revealed with Him in glory.6. Explain the difference between location (in the Spirit) and walking or setting the mind.7. What is God's will for your life? How is this different from what we often hear?8. What does Philippians 4:13 really mean? How is this different from what the false health-wealth gospel promises? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1258/29

2025.02.09 | When Faith Meets Grace Part 1 | Frederick Roback by River In The Hills Church

I was honored to sit down with Brian and Danna Mayhall recently, who joined me to share the story of their daughter, Amelia—a young woman whose life was characterized by kindness and compassion.   Amelia sustained a devastating injury after a woman made a deliberate choice to drive the wrong way down the freeway and crashed into her car.  In today's episode, you'll hear about the months Amelia lived beyond the crash, the tender loving care given by her parents, and her ultimate homegoing in July of 2013.  You'll also hear how the Mayhalls have walked through the legal system after the driver was charged with felony homicide, including the victim's impact statement Danna gave to the judge.  This is a conversation about loss—but more than that, it's a conversation about love, grace, and the presence of God in our deepest valleys.  This is part one of a two-part series that speaks directly to the hearts of grieving parents. We pray this conversation reminds you that you're not alone, and that God is near to the brokenhearted.Topics Covered:Amelia's life and legacy of kindnessThe tragic crash that took her lifeCaring for an adult child with traumatic brain injuryGod's presence in grief and sufferingThe unique grief of losing a married adult childFaith, family, and the power of community supportFinding meaning in moments of heartbreakStay Connected:If this episode was meaningful to you, we'd love to hear from you.

3 Components of God's Covenant that Show You His Grace1 - A Conclusion (8:1-19)2 - A Condition (8:20–9:7)3 - A Confirmation (9:8-17)

What if the Sabbath was never meant to be just a day off work—but a way of life? A way to remember who we are, who God is, and what truly matters. This Sabbath, we'll explore how God's gift of rest not only renews our souls but empowers us to resist the pressures of Pharaohs—both past and present. Sabbath is a calling we are asked to embrace! Pastor Daniel Xisto will continue the sermon series, Sabbath, a Pathway of Grace, Part 3: “Sabbath as Resistance."

How close are you to Jesus? Why? What does it mean to “abide” in Christ? Are you abiding in Him? Why or why not? React to this statement: Christ is your life and you will be revealed with Him in glory. Explain the difference between location (in the Spirit) and walking or setting the mind.

If God has forgotten your sins, why haven't you? You've been forgiven but do you actually believe it? Or are you still treating forgiveness like a mortgage or car payment, chipping away at it with apologies and requests for cleansing? It's time to ditch that religious mindset. Jesus didn't die in installments, so your forgiveness isn't little by little. The cross actually worked, so God remembers your sins no more! If He's declared your forgiveness a done deal, why are you still keeping score? Don't be like some who spend their whole lives in church and still miss the incredible truth of total forgiveness. Watch now and rest in what Jesus accomplished! Discussion Questions: 1. How did the Old Testament people experience forgiveness? Why? 2. How many times did Jesus die? Why is this so important? 3. React to this statement: If God is satisfied with the sacrifice of Jesus, you should be too. 4. What is the significance of standing versus being seated in Hebrews 10? 5. React to this statement: God remembers your sins no more! 6. Why is our forgiveness expressed in past tense so many times? 7. How do judgment and condemnation factor in here? Explain in light of the cross. 8. What about the Lord's Supper? How can we more fully celebrate it with the right focus?

It's so important that we're hearing from God for our lives…that we're following His will and living for the Lord…that our lives are His Story…that our story is becoming more of "His Story" than our own. Our lives really can be to His glory. That's what this sermon is all about. Enjoy! NEW HERE? We'd love to connect with you.

For six days we do, we work, we create, we build… at times, we worry. The seventh day, we cease. We rest. We reflect. We embrace a different way of life. We feast, and as we do remember our hope for the future. The Sabbath is a sign of our dependence on the grace of God in our lives. By living in Sabbath rhythm, we choose to live a life of trust, walking on the pathway of grace. Pastor Tara VinCross continues the sermon series, Sabbath, a Pathway of Grace, Part 2: “Resting."

Did religion get the gospel completely backwards? Religion loves to make the Gospel complicated. It tells you grace is risky, that you owe God, that you need to keep Jesus as Lord like He's in danger of losing the title. But what if that's all backwards? Join me as we embrace the radical truth about God's grace and our safety in Him. We unravel the misconception of Lordship salvation, explore the true meaning of predestination, and answer what's up with working out salvation with fear and trembling. If you've ever wondered whether you've been sold a distorted gospel, this message is for you. Watch now and discover the love and grace of God is better than you ever imagined! Discussion Questions: 1. What are the two unchangeable things that anchor our soul? How? 2. What is the only sin mentioned in ten chapters of Hebrews? Why does this matter? 3. React to this statement: The wages of sin is death. Jesus died. There's no wages left for you! 4. How do we best understand Philippians 2:12-13? Work out? Fear and trembling? 5. What is Lordship salvation? Why can it be damaging? What's the truth? 6. React to this statement: Predestination is God's secret plan (now revealed) to bring salvation to the Gentiles. 7. Does God's radical grace make you want to sin more? Why or why not? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1258/29

Let's explore four essential principles to a steadfast life as we await the return of the Lord: WORK in peace and holiness, diligently preparing for His coming; TRUST in God's faithful promises, knowing He will fulfill them; GUARD our hearts and minds from the dangers of false teachings; and GROW in grace and knowledge of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we are reminded in 2 Peter 3:14-18, these steps will help us stay strong in our faith and continue moving forward, looking toward our promised future.

Dr. Stanley urges us to embrace God's gift of friendship with Him and shares what it means to be saved by grace.

Experience the fullness of God's grace and live in spiritual abundance each day.

If you browse social media, you'll notice that many people express similar opinions. Frequently, you will see individuals with specific values shaming those who have opposing views. What do you think Jesus would do in such situations? Would He respond with love and humility, or would He retaliate with hate? In today's message, Pastor Bill reminds you that even though you live in a world where Christianity is often looked down upon, you should strive to live like Jesus did and respond with love and humility.

Because Jesus lived a sinless life as a man, He was able to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Life is full of opportunities to make mistakes, occasions to feel guilty, and the pressure to be self-sufficient. But this isn't how God intended the Christian life to be. In this series, Portraits of Grace, we will discover what it means to receive a second chance from the Lord. Today we will learn more about Bible characters who were portraits of God's amazing grace. No matter your circumstance, God's sustaining grace will help you when you need it the most.
