Podcasts about holding fast

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Jason Dunn explores Hebrews 10:19–25, a pivotal passage that transitions from the theological foundations of Christ's priesthood to practical exhortations for the church. Through the imagery of a train journey shared with his twin brother, Pastor Jason illustrates how many of us feel spiritually hesitant—bound by conscience, shame, or fear. Yet, Hebrews reminds us that we have confident access to God through the blood of Jesus and a faithful advocate in Christ.The sermon unfolds around three central imperatives: draw near, hold fast, and stir up. Believers are invited to approach God with assurance because Christ has cleansed their hearts and secured their access. In holding fast to our confession of hope, we are reminded that our endurance does not rest on our strength, but on God's faithfulness. And finally, we are exhorted to stir up one another toward love and good works—something that only happens in the context of regular, intentional Christian community. Pastor Jason closes with a vision of the church as a place of encouragement, a relational home that combats the isolation and spiritual drift of the modern "de-churched" world, and he calls the congregation to reengage in relationships that reflect the love and advocacy of Jesus.

Scripture Reference: Hebrews 4:14-16 Sermon Points: Holding Fast Drawing Near

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a sermon from Titus 1 verse 9 on holding fast to the trustworthy Word of God.

Philippians 4:6 reminds us to, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Now, this verse is not saying that you won’t worry, or even that worry is a sin. However, it’s a reminder to us that in our moments of worry, fear, and anxiety, we have the opportunity to substitute those things when we humbly and quickly present those very things before the Lord instead of dwelling on them. Because, when you turn your worry into worship, God will turn your battles into blessings. Joining us today to dive deeper into his own personal testimony and ways in which he has managed and overcome anxiety of his own is a dear friend and familiar face and voice on the podcast, Grant Troutt. Grant is a well known speaker, young adult pastor, and truly a dispensor of hope! And today he wants to remind you that in the midst of the challenge you may find yourself in today to continually pray for God to not deliver you until He has fully developed you!

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt continues our sermon series on Hebrews, preaching from Hebrews 4:14-5:10, emphasizing two main commands: "hold fast" and "draw near." He highlights that believers facing trials and cultural pressures should firmly hold onto their confession of faith, openly affirming Jesus as their Savior, even when it's difficult. Jesus, as our "great high priest," uniquely qualifies for this role because He is sinless, fully human, and has personally experienced trials and temptations. Jesus learned obedience through suffering, showing believers how to faithfully endure their own hardships by trusting, honestly expressing their desires, and ultimately surrendering their will to God.Furthermore, believers are invited to confidently "draw near" to God, trusting Jesus' sympathy and gentleness toward human weakness. Unlike humans who often respond harshly or critically, Jesus responds with compassion. This gentle, sympathetic posture invites Christians to approach God's "throne of grace" freely, expecting mercy and timely help in their moments of need.

In this powerful sermon, we continue exploring what it truly means to live in the freedom Christ offers. Rooted in Colossians 2:16-23, this message challenges us to reject legalism, mysticism, and worldly philosophies that distract from the sufficiency of Christ. Key Themes:✨ Freedom in Christ – Breaking free from man-made religious rules and embracing grace.

One of the most powerful ayat in the Quran that defines the unity of the Muslim Ummah is: “And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you—when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make His signs clear to you, so that you may be guided.” (Surah Aal Imran 3:103) This verse is a reminder to all Muslims that our unity is not based on nationality, race, or ethnicity, but on our adherence to Islam and the Quran. Let's hold fast to the Rope of Allah, reject the divisions planted by our enemies, and revive the true spirit of Islamic brotherhood. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA70eTObp3g

FAITH SCHOOL. LISTEN AND BE BLESSED.

In this message, we explore the theme "I Pledge Allegiance to the Word," emphasizing the importance of not just hearing God's Word but truly living it out. Drawing from James 1:21-25, we're reminded to create a humble, distraction-free environment where the Word can transform us. Using the analogy of glancing versus gazing into a mirror, we learn the value of deeply engaging with Scripture to reveal our true selves and guide our spiritual growth. Despite opposition from the enemy, we are called to hold fast to God's promises, such as His promise of rest — a spiritual peace available to all who walk in faith and obedience. Join us on this journey of surrender and alignment with God's Word for lasting transformation.

Bible Study Fellowship - Magnifying God and Maturing His People. (bsfinternational.org) There is the link above to the bible study I mention!  Jesus's promises are ultimately for eternity but we are called to hold fast to our faith here on earth until the end. We can persevere and hold true to His word as a Christian woman and it can reflect in our small business and journey through entrepreneurship.  It is important to not compromise with false teachings or get complacent.  God's light shines through you in your email marketing, social media content, podcast episodes, and customer service, whether you intend it to or not.  But, we SHOULD be intentional! Not in a try-harder-to-prove-yourself-worthy kind of way but in a way that naturally flows from the Holy Spirit. This natural flow comes when you are intentionally following Jesus every day in your life and business.  If you need help persevering,focusing on Christ, and finding your identity in Him, not wealth, schedule your 60 minute 1:1 coaching call today, I can't wait to chat...

Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.' I.
