Podcasts about household of god

What does it look like to actually live as the household of God? In Acts 2, we see a changed people become family—sharing their lives, homes, resources, and time because they had encountered the grace of God. Because Jesus first opened His hands for us, grace received becomes generosity released as we make whatever God has given us available for the good of others.Catch the sermon at bridge.tv/sermons or wherever you listen to podcasts.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Northwest Bible Church - Aug. 2, 2026 - Ephesians - Mike Southerland Ephesians 2:17-22 A Much Better Covenant Through Christ Intro 1. Verses 11-16 established that Gentiles have been brought into the new covenant by the blood of Christ. 2. Verses 17-22 continue that theme by showing the peace, access, citizenship, and temple blessings believers now have in Christ. A. CHRIST CAME AND PREACHED PEACE (Ephesians 2:17). 1. Christ Himself is the One in view in this verse. 2. He preached peace to those who were far off and to those who were near. 3. Isaiah 57:19 helps explain this promise of peace to far and near. 4. The peace announced in the gospel reaches both Jew and Gentile. B. THROUGH CHRIST WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER (Ephesians 2:18). 1. Through Christ, both Jew and Gentile have access to the Father in one Spirit. 2. Under the old covenant, access was restricted, but Christ opened the way by His sacrifice. 3. The torn veil shows that believers may now come boldly to the Father. C. BELIEVERS ARE NOW FELLOW CITIZENS AND OF GOD'S HOUSEHOLD (Ephesians 2:19). 1. In Christ, we are no longer strangers and aliens. 2. We are fellow citizens with the saints. 3. Even more, we belong to God's own household as His people. D. GOD'S HOUSEHOLD IS BUILT ON A LAID FOUNDATION WITH CHRIST AS THE CORNERSTONE (Ephesians 2:20). 1. The foundation of the apostles and prophets was laid once for all. 2. The foundation is the revealed Word of God given through those offices. 3. Christ Jesus Himself is the chief cornerstone of the whole structure. E. THE CHURCH IS GROWING INTO GOD'S HOLY TEMPLE (Ephesians 2:21-22). 1. Believers are like living stones being fitted together in Christ. 2. The church is growing into a holy temple in the Lord. 3. God is building His people together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Conclusion 1. The new covenant is a much better covenant through Christ. 2. Through His sacrifice we have peace, access to the Father, and a place in God's household. 3. There is no veil for those who are in Christ; the Spirit now dwells in His people.

Through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, God doesn't merely save sinners, He adopts them into His family where they belong, love one another, grow together, and display God's glory!

When our passion for God cools off, our drive to worship starts seeking other sources for hope, happiness, significance and security. But what we need isn't another amazing, mountaintop experience: we need the church! God created us for this community to sustain our worship, to center and re-center us on Jesus, to draw us together by the Spirit, and to root us in a radical new "ordinary" in God.

The sermon explores the identity of the church as the household of God, emphasizing that believers are no longer strangers but fellow citizens and family members united in Christ. It highlights three key metaphors from Ephesians 2: citizenship in the kingdom, adoption into God's family, and construction as a holy temple with Jesus as the cornerstone. The preacher stresses the importance of unity, spiritual growth, and faithful participation within the community to maintain its foundation on Scripture. By rejecting division and prioritizing the Holy Spirit over human programs, the church serves as the dwelling place for God in the world. Believers are challenged to actively invest in these relationships and remain steadfast in their faith until the end.

Big Idea: Remember Whose Household you are in as you learn to live in it. 1. The Head of the Household (1a) 2. The Hope of the Household (1b) 3. The Heritage of the Household (2a) 4. The Help of the Household (2b)   Discussion Questions: 1. What changes when we see the church not as an event we attend, but as God's household to which we belong? 2. Where are you most tempted to act like an “owner” in the church—placing your preferences above God's authority—or like a “visitor” who attends without taking responsibility? 3. Paul calls Christ Jesus “our hope.” Where have disappointment, fear, or cynicism caused your prayers to shrink? What would it look like to pray with renewed hope? 4. Who has served as a “Paul” in your faith, and who might God be calling you to disciple as your “Timothy”? What practical step could you take toward that relationship? 5. Which gift do you most need right now: grace, mercy, or peace? How should receiving that gift from God shape the way you respond to other members of his household?

What holds a church together?In this sermon, Pastor Taylor reflects on five years of ministry at Horicon Baptist Church and walks through Paul's description of the church as the household of God, the church of the living God, and the pillar and buttress of the truth.The church is called to hold the Gospel firm and hold it high, but the Gospel is also the foundation that creates, sustains, and preserves the church.Pastors come and go. Members come and go. Generations change. But Christ remains. Our calling is not to chase numbers or make a name for ourselves, but to order God's house according to God's Word, confess the Gospel clearly, and remain faithful.#HoriconBaptistChurch #1Timothy #HouseholdOfGod #TheGospel #FaithfulChurch #ChurchRevitalization #Sermon

By Mike Phelps - God began His Church on Pentecost with those He loved, calling them into faithful unity.

5/17/26, James Park, Life in the Household of God, Ephesians 4:11-16

If we are truly saved, we are one of God's people and we belong to the household of God, and must see one another as our true spiritual family. We are called to be a peculiar people who belong to Christ, not to this world, and that should affect how we think, live, dress, speak, and represent Him before others. The Bible warns us not to conform to the world or let its voices, friendships, and ideas steal our hearts away from God, but to stand with Christ and His people even when it brings reproach. We need to be challenged to choose, like Joshua and Moses, whether we will serve the Lord faithfully, bear His reproach, and let our light shine in these last days.

5/3/26, James Park, Life in the Household of God, Colossians 3:12-17

There are two big ideas that come out of this passage: The first is that this passage, while appearing to support slavery, actually undermines the entire institution- listen to this sermon to find out how. The second big idea is that there is a connection between first century slaves and modern day wage earners so the teaching from scripture does apply.

This week we start a new series in 1 Timothy. Why should we read this letter today? What is it about and why does it still matter? Join us as we see how much 1 Timothy has to mean to every church.

How does marriage fit into the big picture of Ephesians? Why does Paul bring up this subject where he does in the context of the book?

The truth isn't out there — it's already here. That's the claim Michael Anderson brings to 1 Timothy 3:14–16 in this Sunday school message, setting up a sharp contrast between the world's fruitless search for external meaning and the life-transforming revelation of the gospel.Working through what he calls the constitution, commission, and confession of the church, Anderson shows why Paul found these three things urgent enough to put in writing. The church's constitution — the household and governing body of the living God — matters because God alone determines how it is built, ordered, and inhabited. Its commission, drawn from the striking image of a pillar and buttress, calls the church both to hold the truth high and to actively resist the side loads of distortion and false teaching. And its great confession, likely a well-known hymn of the early church, makes clear that the mystery of godliness is not a doctrine but a person — Jesus Christ, manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, taken up in glory.Anderson closes with a practical challenge: does our individual conduct in the church reflect the transformative truth we confess? The good news is that faithful obedience to these commands doesn't rest on our own strength — it rests on the same resurrection power that raised Christ from the dead. ★ Support this podcast ★

The church isn't just a gathering - it's the household of the living God, called to hold up the truth of the gospel. Paul invites the church to reject false teaching, train for godliness, and live with a public mission. Rooted in the finished work of Jesus, we pursue lives shaped by truth, disciplined devotion, and love for the world. From 1 Tim. 3:14–4:16
