Podcasts about holy living

In this sermon, Pastor Devin explores First Peter 1:13-25, focusing on the theme of holy living as a response to salvation by a holy God. He emphasizes that Christians are called to live with clear minds against sin, not dealing with sin passively but aggressively. The pastor explains that holiness is not merely behavior modification but a transformation of the heart, where believers begin to love what God loves and hate what God hates. He stresses that Christians must fully submit to Christ, not just in church on Sundays but in every aspect of life.The pastor said, 'Holy living is a response to our salvation by a holy God.' How would you explain this concept to someone who is new to Christianity?In what ways have you experienced the difference between dealing with sin passively versus aggressively in your own life?The sermon mentioned that 'we are so good at giving Christ almost everything.' What areas do you think Christians today commonly hold back from surrendering to Christ?How does understanding God's holiness as His essence (what He is) rather than just a description change how we approach our own pursuit of holiness?The pastor emphasized that holy living is about more than behavior modification. How have you seen transformation of the heart lead to changes in behavior in your own life?In verse 17, Peter tells believers to 'conduct yourselves in reverence during your time living as strangers.' What does it look like to live as reverent strangers in today's culture?How does the image of Christ as 'an unblemished and spotless lamb' (v.19) help us understand the significance of His sacrifice?The sermon concluded with the challenge to love one another from a pure heart. What practical steps can we take to love fellow believers even when we disagree with them?Support the show

When we think about what it means to live as a believer in Jesus, what does that require of us? In the latest installment of our “I Believe” series, Pastor Jeff McNicol takes us through Scripture for some answers to that important question. 

How can we live holy lives as God's people in this world?

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

What does it really mean to live a holy life in today's world? Is it about perfection… or something deeper? In this message, Pastor Bayless Conley uncovers two powerful keys straight from Scripture that can radically shift the way you live, think, and respond to the world around you. You'll know why holiness is not just a personal goal, but a public testimony, and what role God's Word actually plays in defeating the struggles you face.

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Sunday, February 2, 2025, Pastor Ryp Hankins delivers an inspiring and thought-provoking message titled “Living Under the Fear of the Lord.” Before you watch, consider this question: Would you prefer to listen to a message that you WANT to hear or one that challenges you to reflect on what you truly NEED to hear? Do you recognize the difference? Understanding this question is the first step toward living under the fear of the Lord. If you are only interested in messages that affirm your current way of living, without reflecting on whether it aligns with God’s desires, it may indicate that you don’t fully grasp what it means to live under the fear of the Lord. Pastor Ryp offers a compelling explanation of what it means to live not in fear, but under the fear of God. So, take a moment to settle in and pay attention. Enjoy the worship and be ready to be challenged by the Word.

Sunday School- Pastor Larson- Psalm 119:9-11

An expository sermon from Colossians 2:20-3:2 on the the highest motivation for holy living.

"As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.”~ John 17:18How do I share the gospel when others aren't open to it?Can I be an authentic Christian if my job doesn't allow me to express it openly?How do I love people who are hostile toward my faith?Our world is fallen and broken, and in many ways it seems to be growing more opposed to the Christian life. Pat is joined by licensed therapist Isaac Wicker for a profound conversation about this struggle. Whether you're in school, at work, or with friends & family, we all find ourselves in a position of witnessing our faith to those who don't seem to be open to it. They might even be openly hostile toward the faith. But the call of Jesus is not to return vitriol with vitriol or to run away from the world, but rather to engage others with love and a willingness to preach the gospel at all times, with words and actions. Isaac Wicker is a Catholic therapist, speaker, and content creator with a decade of mental health experience. Outside of his therapy work, he founded and runs two online Catholic programs for integrating faith and mental health: Whole Human Challenge, a 7-week Catholic challenge to uproot anxiety and enliven faith; and KNOWN: Embraced by the Heart of the Father, a 12-week online Catholic journey to heal wounded relationships with God the Father.

Sermon preached at Trinity Lutheran Church, Murdock, NE (24 November 2024). Text: Mark 13:24-37.

1 Peter 3:8-12 ESV8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” • • •1. Attitudes of Holy Living • • •1 Peter 3:8-9 ESV8 Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. • • •1 Peter 2:21-23 ESV21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. • • •Philippians 2:3-8 NLT3 Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. • • •1.

Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. • • •Matthew 5:10-12 ESV10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. • • •Application:Be encouraged.

As followers of Christ, we are called to be separate from the ways of this world. Halloween is a pagan holiday with roots in occultism and the worship of false gods. As Christians, we must abstain from participating in the festivities and trappings of Halloween, which has its origins in Babylon.   In this video, we'll explore the unbiblical nature of Halloween and why it's important for believers to remain separate from the practices of Babylon. We'll examine the history of Halloween and how it conflicts with Biblical principles. Most importantly, we'll discuss how we can honor God and be a light to the world by refusing to take part in the darkness of this holiday.   The world may scoff at our choice to avoid Halloween, but as disciples of Christ, we are called to a higher standard. Join us as we take a stand against the influences of Babylon and keep ourselves pure before the Lord. Together, let's celebrate our identity in Christ, not the traditions of the world. Dr. Michael K.

When Pastor Josh said, "Holy living starts at home," it struck a chord in me. As he mentioned, home is where our guard is let down. As long as no one else sees the chaos, we can hide our weaknesses from the world by downplaying or justifying them. We often walk out of church on Sunday as if God stays at the church—but that is not the case; God knows and sees everything.

Read OnlineHe answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted.” Matthew 19:11This was Jesus' response to a lengthy discussion about the indissolubility of marriage. One of the reasons that “Not all can accept this word…” is because marriage, and every other vocation, requires wholehearted sacrifice and selflessness. When this is not present, and when the selfless living that is required of us turns to selfishness, then every conflict becomes a heavy burden. A burden that is unbearable without grace.What is love? What form of love is required in marriage and every other vocation? What love is required of parents and grandparents? The answer is the same to all of these questions. We must love with complete selflessness and in a sacrificial way. Love, in its truest form, always looks to the good of the other and never focuses upon oneself.Only grace can enable us to live a life based on true love. Our fallen human nature tends to “navel gaze,” meaning, we tend to go through life thinking about ourselves—“What will make my life better? How will this affect me? This person has hurt me. I don't want to do this or that, etc.” It is very difficult in life to turn our eyes from ourselves to the love of others. This is why Jesus said that this form of love can only be embraced by “those to whom that is granted.” And those to whom this depth of love is granted are those who are open to God's transforming grace in their lives.One reason that it is very difficult to love in a completely selfless way is because it requires us to live by grace. Our feeble human minds cannot arrive at the high calling of charity by itself. It is only by grace that we will understand that selfless living is not only best for those whom we are called to love, but it is also best for us. And in the context of married life, parenting, other vocations and every other situation in life, if our love is always focused upon the good of the other, and if our lives imitate the total sacrifice of Christ, then we will see God do great things through us. As He does, we will also see God do great things in us. The bottom line is that we only become who we were made to be when we live like Christ. And He lived a life that was unconditionally sacrificial and selfless. Reflect, today, upon the high calling of love that you have been given. Can you accept this teaching of our Lord? Has an understanding of the nature of true love been granted to you by grace? And if so, are you doing all you can to live a life of selfless sacrificial love in union with Christ Jesus? As you examine your life and your relationships, especially with those closest to you, consider how well you act as Christ to them. Consider whether you forgive, turn the other cheek, seek mercy, compassion, understanding, gentleness and every other virtue and fruit of the Holy Spirit. Where you are lacking and find selfishness, do not hesitate to beg our Lord to grant you the grace to not only understand your high calling of love, but to also embrace it in your actions to the fullest degree. Then, and only then, will you be able to live the vocation to which you have been called. My loving Lord, Your love is beyond all comprehension. It is a love that can only be understood by the gift of Your grace. Please do grant me the grace I need to not only understand and to receive Your love in my life but to also offer Your love to all. May my life become an ongoing instrument of the perfection of love that You lived. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc.
