Podcasts about himself i am

June 15, 2025 Today's Reading: John 8:48-59Daily Lectionary: Numbers 35:9-30; Acts 1:1-7:60; Luke 24:28-53“Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.'” (John 8:58)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. It's weird how happy folks were that Abraham was dead. They prefer their patriarch dead to win a fight. They have something they think is more valuable. Wealth, stability, power, ego. They'll march over the bones of Abraham to keep it and quote the Bible while they do. Genesis 25:8. “Abraham breathed his last and died.” Just… Without context. And so without the promise that He still lives. Hear Jesus' condemnation of them for what it is. We have the same idols. So when we see how happy the Jews are to have a dead Abraham if it means keeping their wealth and status, maybe we should be uncomfortable. It says plenty about our own priorities. More often than not, people's big issue with religion is not so much the idea of faith, but what it might mean. The Jews could convict Jesus of no sin yet called His teachings demonic. His greatest promise is also the biggest threat. They already have their king in Ceasar. In wealth. If that has to be built over the bones of the patriarchs and the prophets, that's just called progress. But Jesus dares to ask. What if there's more than just this life? Progress? Wealth? Power? He promises something that cuts to the heart of everything that sinners would build. If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death. The scriptures point to a Jesus who wants to bear the cross to save sinners, not reward those who think well of themselves with happiness. That's great in theory, but as it turns out, that might clash with some of your plans. If God is actually here to give you that salvation, it calls into question why so many things seem to come before His word. Treasure God's word above all. But the thing about Christ is, even when He isn't our treasure, we are His. Time and time again, He shows up and promises life to people who have other things going on. To Abraham, who had country, lands, and family; to the Jews, who had wealth and status; and to you. Each time, His call isn't to have less, but more. Remember who Jesus is. Before Abraham was, I AM. He is the God who saved Abraham. Who spoke to Moses and called Himself I AM. A name so holy it was not spoken. That's why they tried to stone Him. Not because He said He was old. Because He said He was God. But even this is a gift. It gives remembrance of fulfilled promises past, and certainty that future ones will be fulfilled, too. To what He must do for you. Die. Rise. Save. Abraham rejoiced to see this day because he was saved by Christ. Brought through death to life. That's yours, too. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty and everlasting God, You have given us grace to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity by the confession of a true faith and to worship the Unity in the power of the Divine Majesty. Keep us steadfast in this faith and defend us from all adversities; for You, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, live and reign, one God, now and forever. - Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command.

Exodus 33:18-23 — Revivals are exceptional and unusual. They are rare moments in which God's glory passes by in an especially sensible way. In this sermon on the sovereignty of God in revival from Exodus 33:18–23, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that Moses experienced a moment like this on the top of Mt. Sinai where he was able to know the character of God. There may be times when Christians are drawn towards the spectacular—this is innate in human beings. Dr. Lloyd-Jones challenges the listener not to seek the spectacle that comes with revival, but rather to seek to know the character of God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones gives a helpful overview of the various names of God in order to show how they inform who God is. For instance, when God calls Himself “I AM,” He declares Himself as the self-existent, everlasting One. God establishes a covenant with His people, and it is based completely upon who He is. He is the righteous redeemer who loves His own. By His grace and in His sovereignty, God chooses when revival comes, where it comes, and to whom it comes. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones preaches on the sovereignty of God in revival.

When God met Moses at the burning bush, and Moses asked Who was sending Him to Egypt, God called Himself "I AM". This indicated that He is the essence of all existence, and the Only God, Who is over everyone and all things. This Name--THE Name of God--is YHWH, which we pronounce Yehova, and is so sacred that the Jews won't say or write it. In a time when God's Name is abused by culture, we can draw strength that He is the Master of all, but also the Personal God Who is present for His people.  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7wBMky5Uqs

Reading is delivered by Rumenta Gita Fransisca and meditation delivered by Sarah Angelique from Saint Peter's School in Jakarta, Indonesia. Genesis 3: 13-20; Rs psalm 105: 1.5.8-9.24-25.26-27; Matthew 11: 28-30 KNOWING GOD THROUGH HIS NAME The theme for our meditation today is: Knowing God through His Name. Yesterday we were reminded of knowing God Himself through the names of Israel's ancestors who were so united with the heavenly God. In this manner, Moses was able to directly associate himself with his own ancestors because of the faith they had radically lived out to its fulness. Today the book of Exodus leads us to know God by His own name. This recognition is obtained by touching God's very own self, namely by mentioning His name. To Moses God introduced His own name as He said: "I am who I am". Such a God is singular as He said “I AM”, that means, a personal God in principle. The pronoun "I" refers to a totally single in the self and cannot be added or paired with anything else to describe it. For example, there is a man known to many of us. His name is Matthew, he is a man, a teacher, an educated person, a family man and many other identifications about him. There are so many elements attached to him to identify what and who he is. However, God does not use these complementary elements because He is already perfect and complete. So God calls Himself “I AM” meaning that He is perfect and total. God is eternal or only one. For the name "I" which affirms the principle in oneself, there is no sense of selfishness or arrogance in person of God. It's only God who can say that because He is almighty and all powerful. With this conception of God, Moses and all of us acquire a privilege of having the grace from Him so that we are able to bring God's power to face all kinds of evil and enemy that constantly do against His will, even to the point of defeating them. For us human beings, when we recognize only ourselves, rely only on our own ego, we surely will become so weak in the face of challenges, difficulties or enemies. Obviously this is very contradictory with the revelation of God's own ego or self. The revelation and affirmation of the "I" for God was also made by the Son of God, namely Jesus Christ, especially when He always says in His teaching: "I say to you". It's here that Jesus affirms or states the name of God when He proclaims the Word. Jesus never says in this way: "Jesus says to you". This affirmation of “I” to Himself, also means to bring all those who hear and believe to come to Him, to live with Him and to practice His way of life. Today Jesus invites us to come to Him to increase in ourselves the richness of His mercy. He says this to us: "Come to me, for I am gentle and humble of heart." Let us always believe and rely on God's name as He says of Himself “I”. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O generous and merciful God, we thank You from our deepest hearts for You show us Yourself in a Person, may we always rely on your goodness and power. Glory to the Father... In the name of the Father.... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message

Jesus did not claim to just be another prophet, rabbi, or spiritual teacher. He did not say that He was one of many ways to achieve enlightenment or eternal life. Jesus called Himself "I AM" and He said, "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). But nothing of what Jesus taught or stated matters unless He rose from the grave. Easter celebrates the confirmation of all that Jesus spoke and did. It also celebrates the awe-inspiring reality that Jesus is with us always as our Resurrected Lord. He is Risen! -- Pastor Luke

Exodus 33:18-23 — How are we to understand times of revival? Revivals are exceptional and unusual. They are rare moments in which God’s glory passes by in an especially sensible way. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that Moses experienced a moment like this on the top of Mt. Sinai where he was able to know the character of God in Exodus 33:18-23. There may be times in our lives when we are drawn towards the spectacular—this is innate in us as human beings. Dr. Lloyd-Jones challenges us not to seek the spectacle that comes with revival, but rather to seek to know the character of God.

For instance, when God calls Himself “I AM,” He declares Himself as the self-existent, everlasting One. God establishes a covenant with His people, and it is based completely upon who He is. He is the righteous Redeemer who loves His own. By His grace and in His sovereignty, God chooses when revival comes, where it comes, and to whom it comes.

“Apart from me, you can do nothing.” Strong, but true words from Jesus in John 15:5. We must stay connected to the Vine! This week, we are looking at a few “I am” passages out of the Gospel of John. These verses are so important because they answer a question all the way back from the book of Exodus. When Moses stood at the burning bush and talked to God, he asked Him His name. What would God say? What does He call Himself? “I Am.” That is the name God gives to Moses. God calls Himself the Great I Am. But that seems incomplete, doesn’t it? I am… what? Fast forward thousands of years. Jesus comes along and starts making these “I am” statements. He is doing two things. First, Jesus is claiming to be God. We know this because when He makes an I am statement, the religious leaders freak out. They know exactly what Jesus is saying. Second, I believe Jesus is filling in the blanks to the questions we would naturally have. I am…? Remember, the Bible says Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law, of the old covenant. I believe the I am passages are a perfect example of this. Jesus answers the I Am statement. Today, our One Verse is out of John 15:5. In it, Jesus says, “I am the vine...apart from me you can do nothing.” Strong words from Jesus. But it’s a beautiful picture that shows His statement is absolutely true.
