Podcasts about his gospel

The Lord finds those who did not seek Him or ask for Him. He spreads out His hands “to a rebellious people” (Isaiah 65:2) and calls them to be His people and to dwell in peace upon His holy mountain (Isaiah 65:9). For wherever Jesus Christ enters in, Satan is cast out. Those who were enslaved and driven mad by the assaults and accusations of the devil are set free by the Word of Christ. He drowns and destroys the old Adam in us with the waters of Holy Baptism and thereby brings us out of death into life. No longer naked in our shame, living “among the tombs” (Luke 8:27), we are brought into the Lord's house, fully clothed by Christ; He has come in “the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4) to fulfill the Law on our behalf and to redeem us from its every accusation. Therefore, having been justified by His grace through faith in His Gospel, “you are no longer a slave, but a son” (Galatians 4:7).

When Christ called His first disciples to join Him on His mission, they immediately changed their focus toward God. Immediately they made their entire life about serving God and sharing His Gospel with the world. With the constant reality of violence and war in the world, it is an opportunity for us to live as followers of Jesus Christ with the same dedication as the Disciples. Now is our chance to use our life to preach, teach and heal the world, through the peace and grace of God.

The New Covenant is one of the most important topics we can understand about the plan of God among people. Yet even though it's the covenant we're in right now with God, many Christians don't understand it. Today, in our study of Isaiah 42, we're going to look at one of the earliest references to the New Covenant found in the Old Testament. Join us for the key study in this key chapter! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Isaiah 42 continues to build on the idea that a New Kingdom is coming. In verse 1, we find out that the leader of this kingdom is also a servant. Who is He a servant of? What does that indicate about His own nature and character? 2. The podcast explained that Isaiah 42 is one of several “Servant Songs” in the book of Isaiah. The four “Servant Songs” are found in Isaiah 42, 49, 50 & 53. What is a "Servant Song”? Why is it important to know about these “Servant Songs” when interpreting these passages? 3. Look over verse 1 again. How do we see the fingerprints of the Trinity in this verse? 4. Many Jewish people say that the servant here is the nation of Israel. While that is true in Isaiah 41:8-9, what were some of the reasons given in the podcast for why Israel is not the Servant here in Isaiah 42? Why is this “new” (or different) Servant necessary? 5. Verse 1 also speaks to the nature of the reign of the Servant. What kind of kingdom He establish? 6. In verses 2 to 4, how does He go about establishing this kingdom? In these verses, does it sound like Christ's kingdom expanding through conquest? How would you say that this kingdom is being established in these verses? How do we see this prophecy working out in our world today? 7. How does verse 5 show us the accountability that all people have to God? 8. Isaiah 42 introduces one of the earliest passages in the Bible about the New Covenant. In verse 6, what covenant is God appointing the Servant to bring to the nations? According to the podcast, what is the significance of the Lord's plan to move on from the Mosaic covenant? 9. In verse 7, why does the Lord characterize people's entrance into this kingdom as having blind eyes opened and being freed from dungeons? How did Jesus echo these principles in His Gospel proclamations? 10. In verses 10 to 12, what is the atmosphere of this kingdom? 11. Verses 13 to 15 speak of a different time period in the establishment of this kingdom. Verses 2 to 4 speak of Jesus' first coming and how He works in the world now. Verses 13 to 15 speak of His Second Coming when He will judge the nations and finally and fully establish His kingdom. How are these two interactions with mankind different? Why are they so different? 12. Verses 16 to 25 speak of the spiritual condition of mankind. What is the dominant malady of people described in these verses? What are the various responses to the Lord that are given in these verses? What accounts for these differences? What does this look like in our world today? How were you once blind? How do you now see? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Do not reject the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit in your life by hardening your heart against Christ and His Gospel, and so regard God's grace as demonically evil.

A Memorial Day message for soldiers of the cross! Has God enlisted you as a soldier of the cross or to sit in a comfy Christian easy chair playing Bible trivia until you die and go to the great Bible trivia game in the sky? Did God save you to ever refine and argue secondary theological matters or to make much of Christ and His Gospel as a Christian soldier? What does "Jump on the grenade!" mean to Christian soldiers? What can we learn from brave young soldiers about the ministry of the Gospel? Listen in and find out!

Color: White Old Testament: Ezekiel 34:11–16 Psalm: Psalm 23; antiphon: v. 6 Epistle: 1 Peter 2:21–25 Gospel: John 10:11–16 Introit: Psalm 33:1, 18–20; antiphon: vv. 5b, 6a Verse: Luke 24:35b; John 10:14 The Good Shepherd Cares for His Sheep   Our Lord Jesus is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11–16). He is not like the hireling, who cares nothing for the sheep and only for himself, who flees when he sees the wolf coming. Rather, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who seeks out His scattered sheep to deliver them (Ezek. 34:11–16). He gathers them and feeds them in rich pasture. He binds up the broken and strengthens the sick. He lays down His life for wandering and wayward sheep. On the cross, Christ bore in His body the attacks of the predators of sin and death and the devil for you that you might be saved. He now lives to restore your soul in the still waters of baptism, to lead you in the paths of righteousness by the voice of His Gospel, to prepare the table of His holy supper before you, that you may dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23). “For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls” (1 Peter 2:25).

 The Lord breaks bonds and His Gospel sets us free, but how? Have you been set free? Watch or listen to this week's powerful message from Acts chapter 16:16-40 with Pastor Todd Hessel.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from the Father and became flesh among us in order to rescue us, His sheep. He laid down His life for us and took it up again in order to give us eternal life. By the preaching of His Gospel, He calls His sheep to Himself and keeps them with Him forever. As they hear His voice and follow Him, “they will never perish” (John 10:28), for “no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand” (John 10:29). In the same way, faithful pastors (literally, “shepherds”) “care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood” (Acts 20:28), “testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 20:21). Therefore, with all the company of heaven, the Good Shepherd gathers His flock in worship, as they cry: “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Rev. 7:10).

Scripture makes it abundantly clear that Christ will return. As His followers, how can we wait well?   Jesus gave us a clear commission: to proclaim His Gospel to the ends of the Earth. At the same time, Christ cautions us against trying to predict His return—only the Father knows the time. Instead, He calls us to live with steadfast hope, pursuing holiness, godliness, and joyful obedience.  Tune in to discover how you can live a hope-filled life in light of Jesus' promised return. 

In the final sermon in our series, Crowned, we are reminded that Jesus will one day return. But how are Christ followers to wait? In Acts 1, we find clear guidance for all Christ followers. We are to proclaim His Gospel to the ends of the Earth! At the same time, Jesus cautions against trying to guess the date of His return. Instead, He calls us to live with steadfast hope! Listen as Pastor Rob shares our latest sermon, The Returning King, to learn how believers can away Jesus' promised return.

Easter Sunday is one of the biggest highlights in the life of the church as we celebrate the resurrection. But after all the excitement dies down, we are often left with the question in our lives of what happens next? How do we handle the magnificent news of the Gospel now that we have received it and responded to it? How do we truly live for Christ and cling to Him? To find these answers, we'll take a look back to Jesus' sermon on the mount to see how Jesus is the greatest treasure one could ever have, and how as a result, we must pursue Him and His Gospel each day!

God calls us as a Church to be in communion and relationship with one another, carrying each other's burdens, praying for one another, and sharpening each other. The more time we spend with God, in His Word and with other believers, the more His Gospel truth will spill out of us when we're in a situation to share this truth with non-believers.

Revelation Dates: December 1830-January 1831 Revelation Place: Fayette, New York Section 37 - Historical Background: Sidney Rigdon had been told earlier that new scriptures would be coming. As Joseph's scribe, they received the book of Moses. The Lord then interrupts the translation and commands that the headquarters of the church be moved from Fayette, New York to Ohio. Recap: Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are interrupted during the translation of the bible and the Book of Moses to focus on moving the church headquarters to Ohio. Each family is to choose for themselves according to their own best judgement.  Section 38 - Historical Background: The church holds its 3rd and last conference in Fayette, New York. As part of the conference, Joseph wanted to provide answers to the Saints' questions why the Lord was requiring them to sell their farms and homes and move to Ohio. Joseph asks the Lord and with Sidney Rigdon as scribe, he receives this revelation.  Recap: The Lord reminds the Saints that it is He, and not Joseph Smith, who leads His church. The Lord protects the righteous who will always overcome, and He chains the wicked who will be doomed. Fear not, for the plot of the wicked will fail. He enters into a covenant with the church to provide a land of promise and inheritance, as long as the saints are faithful and obedient. There must be unity among the saints, organize themselves and gather in Ohio for safety.  Section 39 - Historical Background: Immediately after the church conference in Fayette, a 40-year-long Baptist minister named James Covel was so moved that he committed to Joseph that he would obey any commandment given him. Joseph inquired of the Lord what He desired from Covel.  Recap: Only those who receive the Lord's church can receive Him. Now is the time to accept His Gospel, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost and embark in gathering the saints in Ohio. Preach with a loud voice, baptize and give them the gift of the Holy Ghost.  Section 40 - Historical Background: Despite the solemn promise and covenant to follow God's command (see section 39), James Covel deliberately refused and turned his back on the Lord and His saints. When Joseph learned of Covel's blatant rejection, he asked the Lord for instructions.    Recap: Though the original covenant and heart of James Covel was right before the Lord, the adversary destroyed his conviction and therefore by breaking his promise Covel lost everything the Lord had promised him. Joseph is not to concern himself with James Covel any longer for the Lord will deal with him.

Theme: Mark's cryptic, unusual ending to His Gospel is a call for us to overcome fear and to share the Good news of the resurrection and the message of grace and restoration, knowing that God will accomplish His work despite our wavering faithfulness.

Resurrection Sunday is the Feast of FirstFruits, not Easter, a pagan title from Ishtar, the goddess of love and war (thus, the eggs, the bunny). After His death, Yeshua visited and preached His Gospel to the netherworld. They trembled when they heard! His resurrection is our resurrection. Our names were/are written in the Lamb's Book of Life, from the foundation of the world. As Mattityahu and Luqas gave the genealogy of Yeshua, His lineage and His descent, we who are Chosen in Him are in the genealogical records of Yeshua, called the Book of Chayim or Life, for we were born of Him! We have descended from Him!

Immeasurably More// Faith Under Fire// March 30, 2025Ephesians 6:10-20 (NIV)“Finally, BE STRONG in the Lord and in the strength of HIS MIGHT. Put on the full armor of God so we can take our stand against the devil's schemes because our battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers and against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV)“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does…On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”Isaiah 59:14-17 (NIV)“So, justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice. He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene, so his own arm achieved salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.” The armor is about confidence in God's ability to hold all those elements of the armor true and together.  The Helmet is His Salvation Isaiah 12:2 (NIV)“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” 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 Breastplate is His RighteousnessPhilippians 3:8-9 (NIV)“What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.” The Belt is His TruthPsalm 33:4 (KJV)“For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth.” Ephesians 4:14 (NIV)“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” The Sword of the Spirit is His WordHebrews 4:12 (NIV) “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”  The Shoes are His Gospel of PeaceIsaiah 52:7 (NIV)“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” The gospel is meant to be peace with God and peace with one another. The Shield of FaithFaith is deliberate confidence in the character of God.Faith is not about my ability to believe but it's about His ability to BE.His unfailing character and person.  Faith is not about my ability to believe but it's about His ability to BE.  John 14:26,27 (NIV)“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you…Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  

We are called to be witnesses by Jesus and walk in His character and authority to declare His Gospel.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus used parables so He could share His Gospel mission through a common story. Jesus as the Sower is throwing the seeds, which is the Word of God, hoping that it lands on the good soil of our hearts. The post Parable Of The Sower – 2A first appeared on Pastor Jack Hibbs.

Today's speaker is Dr. David Prince, Pastor of Preaching and Vision at Ashland Avenue Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Dr. Prince motivates us to see that Jesus Christ and His Gospel must be the center, the context, the goal, and the end of our Christian living. His text is Galatians 2:20.

Scripture – Psalm 37 Sermon Summary:  Put joy-killing anger, envy, and anxiety to death by delighting in God and trusting His Gospel promises.

March 13, 2025Today's Reading: Catechism: The Creed - The First ArticleDaily Lectionary: Genesis 11:27-12:20; Mark 4:21-41He defends me against all danger and guards and protects me from all evil. (Small Catechism: The Creed - The First Article, Explanation)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. “Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us, we tremble not, we fear no ill; they shall not overpower us.” Churches around the world sang these words this week after hearing how our Lord Jesus Christ overcame the devil and his temptations. These are words of sure confidence in the face of a powerful foe.Although, let us not become overconfident. The devil is powerful, but he is also cunning. Scripture depicts him as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14), a prowling lion (1 Pet. 5:8), and a great liar and deceiver (Rev. 12:9). It would not be beyond that old serpent to throw a few battles and feign defeat in the hopes of winning the overall war for your soul.Overconfidence happens when we turn from God's provision and protection to our own powers. Overconfidence happens when our faith shifts from our heavenly Father to the strength of our own faith. Overconfidence is when we decide that it is God who needs the defense and protection and that we are the ones who can provide it. God does not need our apologetics.The confidence that we have in the face of the old, evil foe, the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, is the Truth. Not just any truth, but Truth with a capital T. Jesus is the Truth who stands up against the devil's lies, even when they sound oh so sweet. And this Truth is God's Word. He is the Word made flesh, and He cannot but speak the Word of God.The Father sends us this Truth to defend us against all danger and guard and protect us from all evil. And it is this Truth upon which our faith rests and from which our confidence grows. Martin Luther's famous hymn completes its third stanza with the ground of our confidence: “This world's prince may stillScowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him.” Put your faith in God's Word, in Jesus Christ and His Gospel, for the Father cannot deny His own Word. He will guard you and protect you against all danger and evil.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. ( LSB 656:3)-Rev.

In this episode we examine the conversion of the Apostle Paul.

God hasn't changed. He is still in the business of giving people who are willing to listen and obey Divine Revelation through His transforming word and the leadership of His HOLY SPIRIT.

On today's Inklings podcast we discuss the talk by I. Raymond Egbo: Focus on Jesus Christ and His Gospel.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Does Evangelism still work? Are gone the days of great revival? These are questions that a lot of Christians are asking, and quite frankly, they're the wrong questions. You see, we should be asking, WHO can I share this Good news with? That's just what Julie did. She went out at an Equip America event and set out to share her faith. She told us that she didn't have some grand speech planned or an amazing icebreaker. She simply had the tools she needed to share the Gospel - and she did. Do you know what? Not only did she share her faith, she was able to lead a woman to saving faith in Jesus just because she was obedient to Jesus' commandment to go out and spread the Gospel! Jesus would never ask us to do something that he won't be right there to help us with. Julie would be the first to tell you that. So, go out and share His Gospel! For Gospel sharing resources, visit sharelife.today.

Today on PowerPoint, Pastor Jack Graham begins Essential Gospel, an in-depth series on the book of Romans. Pastor Graham tells us that Jesus Christ is the essential Gospel; the eternal Gospel; the exclusive Gospel; and He is the one and only Savior who gives us His Gospel which is not only needed but is necessary.

When you’re sent to do something you feel unqualified for it can be overwhelming, frustrating, or straight-up terrifying. No one likes to go into something sure of their inevitable failure! In the Bible we can see that Jesus has called us as followers of Him to make and multiply disciples. To go into the world as witnesses of His Gospel. To represent the values of His Kingdom as ambassadors of reconciliation. We don’t always feel qualified for this, but that is why God has gifted His Church with the tools needed to equip you for the work He calls you to! In Acts 13 we see Saul and Barnabas sent out on the mission they had been called to. It wasn’t going to be easy, but they were obedient and went, having been equipped by the church, called by God, and filled with the Holy Spirit. As a church we have the wonderful privilege of sending out into the mission field some who we have had a role in equipping this weekend. We send them out on the same mission we are on as a church, and excitedly watch to join into the celebration of fruit, and encourage them along the way. Come be a part with us this Sunday at 8am or 11am as we study the word, and commission Luke and Sara Worden as missionaries sent from MBC! - Pastor Ben Key Passage - Acts 13:1-13 For Scripture, notes, upcoming events, & more: http://bible.com/events/49367386

His Gospel is Peace - St. Mark Houston

Full Text of ReadingsFeast of Saint John, Apostle and evangelist Lectionary: 697The Saint of the day is Saint John the EvangelistSaint John the Evangelist's Story It is God who calls; human beings answer. The vocation of John and his brother James is stated very simply in the Gospels, along with that of Peter and his brother Andrew: Jesus called them; they followed. The absoluteness of their response is indicated by the account. James and John “were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him” (Matthew 4:21b-22). For the three former fishermen—Peter, James and John—that faith was to be rewarded by a special friendship with Jesus. They alone were privileged to be present at the Transfiguration, the raising of the daughter of Jairus and the agony in Gethsemane. But John's friendship was even more special. Tradition assigns to him the Fourth Gospel, although most modern Scripture scholars think it unlikely that the apostle and the evangelist are the same person. John's own Gospel refers to him as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (see John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2), the one who reclined next to Jesus at the Last Supper, and the one to whom Jesus gave the exquisite honor of caring for his mother, as John stood beneath the cross. “Woman, behold your son…. Behold, your mother” (John 19:26b, 27b). Because of the depth of his Gospel, John is usually thought of as the eagle of theology, soaring in high regions that other writers did not enter. But the ever-frank Gospels reveal some very human traits. Jesus gave James and John the nickname, “sons of thunder.” While it is difficult to know exactly what this meant, a clue is given in two incidents. In the first, as Matthew tells it, their mother asked that they might sit in the places of honor in Jesus' kingdom—one on his right hand, one on his left. When Jesus asked them if they could drink the cup he would drink and be baptized with his baptism of pain, they blithely answered, “We can!” Jesus said that they would indeed share his cup, but that sitting at his right hand was not his to give. It was for those to whom it had been reserved by the Father. The other apostles were indignant at the mistaken ambition of the brothers, and Jesus took the occasion to teach them the true nature of authority: “…[W]hoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave. Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:27-28). On another occasion, the “sons of thunder” asked Jesus if they should not call down fire from heaven upon the inhospitable Samaritans, who would not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. But Jesus “turned and rebuked them” (see Luke 9:51-55). On the first Easter, Mary Magdalene “ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, ‘They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him'” (John 20:2). John recalls, perhaps with a smile, that he and Peter ran side by side, but then “the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first” (John 20:4b). He did not enter, but waited for Peter and let him go in first. “Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed” (John 20:8). John was with Peter when the first great miracle after the Resurrection took place—the cure of the man crippled from birth—which led to their spending the night in jail together. The mysterious experience of the Resurrection is perhaps best contained in the words of Acts: “Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they [the questioners] were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus” (Acts 4:13). The Apostle John is traditionally considered the author also of three New Testament letters and the Book of Revelation. His Gospel is a very personal account. He sees the glorious and divine Jesus already in the incidents of his mortal life. At the Last Supper, John's Jesus speaks as if he were already in heaven. John's is the Gospel of Jesus' glory. Reflection It is a long way from being eager to sit on a throne of power or to call down fire from heaven to becoming the man who could write: “The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers” (1 John 3:16).

This week, pastor Tim Brown closed out our Formed series with a message on the importance of multiplication laid out in the Great Commission (Matthew 28), in which Jesus tells His disciples to go and make more disciples, baptizing them in His name, and teaching them to obey His Word. This encompasses Jesus' plan for His Gospel spreading on the earth, and is a call to action for all believers still today.
