Podcast appearances and mentions of hope jesus

Colossians 2:8-12 - The Colossian Christians were in danger of losing their freedom in Jesus because of teaching that told them they needed to supplement faith in Jesus with religion or spiritual experiences. Paul warns them not to get tricked by this, because Jesus is more than enough.

What if one of the gifts our hearts need most is beauty? In this gentle reflection, Stasi invites us to pause and receive the nourishment God offers through His creation, allowing its beauty to remind us of the beauty of our King. She also turns our gaze toward a deeper Hope: Jesus reigns over all things, and the day is coming when He will make all things new. As Captivated continues its July break, join us in taking a moment to soak in His beauty and goodness.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Zechariah 14:9 (NIV) – The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.Philippians 2:10–11 (NIV) – that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Revelation 21:5 (NIV) – He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”Acts 3:21 (NIV) – Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode—Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:YouTube – ⁠https://wahe.art/4h8DelL⁠Spotify Podcasts – ⁠https://wahe.art/496zdfn⁠Apple Podcasts – ⁠https://apple.co/42E0oZ1⁠ Amazon Music & Audible – ⁠https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ⁠

Colossians 1:15-20 - In his letter to the Colossians, Paul quickly gets down to 'majoring on the majors'. Not surprisingly, the Major of all majors is Jesus. Instead of talking about Jesus' powerful miracles or profound teachings, Paul backs the story all the way to the beginning, Creation. Jesus is the One through whom and for whom creation came into being. He holds it together, and he pulls out all the stops to redeem it when it goes off the rails. This is what love looks like.

It began with an email a grieving father sent to me. He had lost his daughter Alyssa—a college junior—in a car accident, and he needed to hear from someone who understood his wrenching pain. Nearly three hundred emails and four years later, Craig and I were finally able to meet in person. His job had taken him to a nearby city, so on a Sunday we shared a church service, lunch, and memories of our daughters: Melissa and Alyssa—two girls who made other people happy, enjoyed volleyball, loved Jesus, and innocently lost their lives in car accidents. What was the essence of our conversation that day? We discussed our sadness. And we cried. But mostly we spoke of hope. True, authentic hope based on God’s promises. Paul explained the basis for this hope: “We do not want you to be uniformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and . . . God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him” (1 Thessalonians 4:13–14). For the believer, beyond the grave is life—life eternal. Craig and I ended the day by praying and thanking God that our daughters are secure in His loving arms. The shared love of Jesus binds hearts and gives hope in otherwise hopeless situations.

By Mary Lindow SUFFERING AND SORROW ARE A PART OF LIFE Knowing this, however, doesn't make it any easier to cope when you find yourself in the midst of the deepest, darkest trials of faith, and mentally anguish and strain. Don't you wish Christianity could make you exempt from suffering? That would be great, but as most of us have learned, following our faith doesn't give us a free ride. We catch as much trouble as unbelievers—often more. The difference, of course, is that we can turn to Jesus when things go wrong. Unbelievers might argue that we're only turning to our imagination, but we know better. At some time in your life, however, suffering will hit you so hard that you won't be able to do any of those things, and that dark time will probably visit you more than once. “Even in darkness, light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.” Psalm 112:4   WE ALL WANT THINGS WE DON'T GET. Maybe it's a person you're sure would make a perfect spouse, and the relationship crumbles apart. Maybe it's a better job or promotion, and you don't make the cut. Or it might be a goal you poured your time and energy into, and it doesn't come to pass or others sabotage it all. All of us have prayed for the recovery of loved ones who were ill, but they died anyway. It takes real spiritual maturity to stay faithful when things go wrong, but severing our relationship with God punishes us, not him. It's self-destructive behavior that can put us on the path to a miserable life. The parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) teaches us that God always wants us to come back to him. Whether your problem is discouragement, illness or aging, sometimes all you have left is Jesus. When you're angry and bitter, you can still cling to Jesus in the midst of your tears. You can grab onto him and refuse to let go until he brings you through it. You'll find, to your surprise that he holds on to you even tighter than you hold on to him.   JESUS UNDERSTANDS SORROW He knows about being hurt. He remembers the terrible moment on the cross when his Father was forced to abandon him, because he was filthy from taking on our sins. Jesus won't let you go.' And as you age and start down the path from this life to the next, Jesus will take your hand to guide you. He appreciates all that you have done for him through the years, but what he has always wanted most is your love. So there you are in the middle of one of life's train-wrecks-dazed, wounded, wondering what shoe-or bomb-will be dropping next, and up walks Job's comforters. We all remember Job from the Bible. A rich, powerful man, a great father and good in every way was Job. Then, in a series of overlapping upheavals, he lost everything and everybody except his wife-who turned out to be a whole lot less than sympathetic in her changed status. Battered Job ends up sitting alone on a pile of dirt, scratching his boil-covered body with some broken pottery.   WE CAN IDENTIFY WITH POOR JOB. Life drags us through some tough times of loss that make us feel every bit like Job. Caught in a vortex of pain, and wondering if we'll ever make it to safety. And, boy, do we recognize Job's so-called friends who showed up to by all accounts offer support and comfort. As they sat with Job in his misery, they took turns playing a self-centered, self-righteous, can-you-top-this game of knowing for certain that every bit of Job ‘s disaster had to be his own fault or a lack of trust in God. They weren't sure how or why because Job seemed so decent, but deep down, they insisted, he just couldn't be all he pretended to be.   THIS IS FAMILIAR TERRITORY You get fired, and friends smirk knowingly when you try to explain the political nature of the event. Your child gets into difficulty-well; you know the kind of comfort you'll get from friends about that. (It probably started sometime during potty training.) Yet others try to “help” you with what I call “prayer lecturing.” While praying “for and with you” they let you (and God) know just how lucky you should be to even have running water, had a meal that day and more! Not really comforting in any way, and very very short on compassion. Yet, from the story, it's clear that Job was completely innocent. Dreadful things do happen to completely innocent people, good people. Because of their opinion of Job's guilt, history has bestowed his friends- (and their current replicas) – the label, “Job's comforters.” So-called friends who add to a suffering person's anguish by piling on false charges of blame and guilt and harsh reprimand for daring to show sadness or agony. You may never have met anybody like Job, but you've met his comforters on more than one occasion. They seem to be everywhere.   WE CAN CHARGE SOME OF IT OFF TO JEALOUSY Job had everything a person could dream of wanting-and then some-so jealousy was never more than a stone's throw away. The green-eyed monster is a little more subtle with people living everyday, typical lives, but jealousy doesn't need much ground to take root and grow with vigor.   WE DON'T WANT TO ADMIT BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN TO US! If bad things happen to people who don't deserve them, they could happen to anybody, including me. If I don't want bad things to happen to me, (who does?), I have to persuade myself and everybody around me that the victim's actions caused the problem. If blame can be assigned, then I'll be safe as long as I'm good. In other words, if I can claim that the cause of your problem is something you do that I don't do, then what happened to you can't happen to me. There is, of course, n o logic to this, but it brings some shaky comfort to frightened hearts. We see this thinking at work when people stare numbly at adversity and ask, “What did I do to deserve this?” Sometimes the answer is, “nothing.”   HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF "WHY ME?" And it doesn't have to be bad; you could be excited from something wonderful. Most often then not I ask myself this after something I am looking forward to goes wrong. Even at times when something goes wrong I lay awake at night and my thoughts wonder to what previously occurred. I am sure everyone does it at times, wishing for another try or chance. You may lay awake thinking about your suffering, part of life's suffering is misery's shadow persisting/hanging on; not only do you suffer but you have to think about suffering. I can't prove this with statistics or find it any book I know of, yet I would say that more people either come to the faith or fall away because of this reason above all; the disturbance of suffering. YOU SEE GOD USES TIMES OF SUFFERING… ...TO TEACH AND GROW US. If you allow yourself to recount your sufferings, did you not learn more about faith while suffering then any other time?  It has been said that; “Blessings are God's whispers, he speaks in our conscience, but shouts to us in our suffering.” “O my Comforter in sorrow, My heart is faint within me.” Jeremiah 8:18 Suffering becomes the only way to realize our hollow spiritual self. Pain is unmasked, and every person knows when something is not right when they are hurting. Pain insists upon being attended to. So when you travel down this line of thought you come to the idea, why do I or someone else suffer when others don't?   I KNOW SUFFERING IS EXHAUSTING AND PAIN HURTS That is why it is called pain and suffering. If there were an escape a person of great wisdom and insight would have done it already. Yet Discipleship demands such trials to compel us towards renewal. Read Hebrews 2:10 “God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.” The real question is what to do when life has just punched us a good one, and Job's comforters show up at our door. Nobody says we have to let them in. And certainly nobody says we have to entertain them. And, most positively, nobody says we have to believe them. “For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, So also through Christ our comfort overflows.” 2 Corinthians 1:5 We can sort out the who's-to-blame-for-what after we get some solid ground under our feet and a little energy back into our lives. But we still won't want Job's comforters anywhere around us… ...We will want people who care. "Compassion" To me not to be kind  is evil of the mind. No need to pray or preach, Let us our children teach  with every fond caress, Pity and gentleness: So in the end may we  God's Kingdom cause to be. Author  of Poem- R.W.

Pastor Ian continues our teaching series, Advent.

Before the cross, Jesus gathered His closest friends in an upstairs room. What He shared there would change everything; words of love, unity, and the promise of His Spirit. In this series we step into that room to experience the heart of Jesus and what it means to walk closely with Him today.

Pastor Matt Ewert preaches on Hope for this first week of our Advent series, "Jesus Changes Everything: Advent."

Message preached by Bob Smith in our 10:30 Sunday morning gathering.We'd love for you to join us!

A woman is healed and a young girl is raised to life. Jesus is the only one who can do such miracles. There is no physician, no medicine, no cure to death and the pangs of this life except in Christ. He is gracious and willing to heal, intent on having a personal relationship with those He saves. It's by faith these women are made well; the same is true for us today.

Look UP in Faithfulness to See the Lord. The Gift of Hope Jesus says in the Gospel, the Son of Man will be lifted up. Jesus references in the Gospel Moses in the dessert. When the Israelites were unfaithful, and worshipped serpents, snakes came and bit the people. Many people died. When the people called out to God, He commanded Mose to create a bronze serpent and place it on a pole. He told Moses to raise it high, so the people can see it. People saw the power of God and those that looked, did not die from the snakes. The people remembered the reason why this happened. It was their unfaithfulness. Out of their affliction came the sign of their healing. All they had to do is be faithful and look up. Hear more within the Homily. The Lord says He must be lifted up so He can be a sign. The wounded people, filled with regret, can look up and see the Lord, and look to Him in their affliction. The Lord must be lifted up to find Me. This will give the people hope. Understand this within the Homily. Near the end of the Homily, we hear that 2025 has been designated a year of Hope – a Holy Year. Additionally, 2024 has been designated as a year of prayer. Hear more about these two years and the significance within the Homily. Listen to: Look UP in Faithfulness to See the Lord.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive in 2 Corinthians 1 highlighting the Father of Comfort and the Foundation of Hope.

Pastor Jan Scheuermann predigt zum Thema: "Hope - Jesus meine Hoffnung".

As we enter into Advent this year, we reflect on the hope God gave us through the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of Luke, when Mary receives news that she will give birth to the Son of God, we see that this is God's blessing and the fulfillment of His promise to redeem His people. That God would come in the flesh meant radical change for the entire world as well as in each of our personal lives. Back then, and still now, the news of Jesus' imminent birth is the ultimate reminder that we have hope because Jesus is Emmanuel - God with us - not just in the future, but presently and eternally.

Hippie Christian, Krissy Bakke is excited to start a four week series leading on Advent. Each week we will go through the meaning of the four advent candles. If you don't know much about Advent, this is a great place to learn. Krissy doesn't know everything either, so we can learn together - hopefully. That will make sense if you listen.

This Sunday as we kick off a four week series on Advent, exploring what it means to trust the promises of God as we await his return.

Psalm 146 reminds us of the unwavering faithfulness and goodness of God and all it motivates us to do. First it motivates us to praise him. We need to remind each other to praise God, and even to remind our own souls to praise him. There's days we may not feel like it, and we encourage one another with our praises. Second we're motivated to wholeheartedly trust Jesus, rather than in human beings, institutions, worldly circumstances, our own abilities. Jesus alone can save! Last we're motivated to make Jesus alone our hope. Psalm 146 lists 12 characteristics of God (which parallel descriptions of Jesus in Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:18-19; 7:22-23). These give us reasons to make Jesus our hope, trust him, and praise him!

Jesus will come! Have hope, believer! #hope #truth #SecondComing #Resurrection #Rapture #whatamoment #joy #comfort #peace #forever #eternity #eternal #Heaven #home

Our Parkland Location Pastor, Josh Mitchael shares an incredible message during our Voices series at Coastal Community Church. “Character is the will to do what is right, as defined by God, regardless of personal cost.” ~ Andy Stanley“ A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man.”~ Leonard Ravenhill Luke 19:1-10 NIV 1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” 6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 7 But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. 8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” 9 Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”“ Character is the will to do what is right, as defined by God, regardless of personal cost.” ~ Andy Stanley The enemy wants you to think that either good enough without God or that you're too far gone to be used by God. TRICK #1: The enemy wants you to think that you're GOOD ENOUGH on your own WITHOUT GOD. Luke 19:1 NIV He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. Romans 5:12, “Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.” TRICK #2: The enemy wants you to think that you're TOO FAR GONE to be noticed BY GOD. H. Hungry A. Angry L. Lonely T. Tired Luke 19:3-4 NIV He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. THE TRUTH: We need a SAVIOR. Luke 19:5 NIV 5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” Luke 19:6-7 NIV 6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. 7 But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Romans 5:8 NIV “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” John 10:10 NIV 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. THE HOPE: JESUS wants to know YOU, Luke 19:8-10 NIV 8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” 9 Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” God isn't just looking for BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION, He's looking for HEART TRANSFORMATION. Luke 19:10 NIV For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Are you willing to allow Jesus Christ to be Lord over of life? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coastalchurch/message
