Podcasts about image bearers

Has Christian nationalism gone too far? In this lively yet thought-provoking conversation, we explore the tension between faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and how cultural challenges shape the way Christians embody the teachings of Jesus. From examining controversial trends like the rise of extreme Christian nationalism to unpacking theological nuances such as cruciformity and the kingdom of God, this discussion invites listeners to wrestle with what it means to live faithfully in a complex world. With humor, personal stories, and deep theological insight, the hosts tackle questions like: How should Christians navigate cultural issues without compromising their witness? What does justice look like in a society shaped by competing wills? And how do we maintain humility and curiosity in the face of divisive ideologies?  We encourage you to join the conversation—email us your thoughts or engage with us on Instagram and Facebook. Let's continue to pursue a faith that reflects the heart of Jesus in a world that desperately needs it. Your voice matters as we explore these crucial questions together!

Dave Rich examines the glory of God as the central purpose of Christian living in this lesson on Christian ethics. The glory of God represents the ultimate telos—the motivation and purpose—behind every ethical decision believers make. Throughout Scripture —from Psalm 86 to Revelation 4 —the glory of God emerges as the reason for creation and the believer's chief end. The Hebrew word kavod and the Greek word doxa reveal three distinct biblical meanings: God's inherent gloriousness, the glory due Him through praise, and the created brightness surrounding His revelation.Believers cannot make God more glorious, yet they glorify Him by reflecting His character as image bearers. The glory of God manifests through twenty biblical activities, including living with purpose, confessing sins, praying expectantly, and proclaiming the gospel. Christian ethics remains both deontological—adhering to God's commands—and teleological—pursuing the glory of God as the ultimate purpose. Whether eating, drinking, or whatever believers do, all should aim toward the glory of God, fulfilling the Reformation principle of Soli Deo Gloria. ★ Support this podcast ★

I would simply remind you that God remains faithful to His covenants. The rainbow belongs to God, and it will serve as the sign that He established in Genesis 9, come what may. Of greater importance is the need for God's people to remember God's covenant of forbearance.Support the showThanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram more info colonialkc.org

Man: Image-Bearer and Sinner

Martin continues our Genesis series.

“Teenism” is a term I first encountered in Ellen Galinsky's book, “the Breakthrough Years: A New Scientific Approach to Raising Thriving Teens.” Galinsky says that teenism occurs when we as adults stereotype the teenage years and those going through them in negative ways. She says that teenism can not only harm our kids, but can harm us as well, by putting us in an interactive posture with our kids where we assume negative things. When asked to describe the stereotype of an adolescent, researchers used negative terms, including moody, overly emotional, makes risky decisions, selfish, self-centered, impulsive, wild, rebellious, lazy, and awkward. When asked to describe the teens they studied, researchers used positive words like motivated, creative, fun, curious, social, excited by life, and hardworking. As Christians, let's begin by looking positively on our kids, as at their core, they are divine image bearers.

Our lives become a mirror of what we focus on. If our attention is captured by the noise of the world and the culture of its political and religious systems—we will only reflect that turmoil. But when we fix our eyes singularly on the Father, our lives will begin to reflect His image and His light. As image-bearers with our focus set firmly on Him, we are designed to awaken others and redeem this earth. Creation itself is crying out for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed—and that is us. The earth has been standing on tiptoe, and this is the moment it has been waiting for.

Eighty years ago, this past Wednesday, was the anniversary of the only time nuclear bombs have ever been used in war. And while opinions continue to be sharply divided over whether President Harry Truman's decision to use nuclear weapons was justified, the human tragedy and global “nuclear fear” accompanying that decision, is not debated by anyone. All of this is but one symptom and manifestation of what we examine this Sunday, as we finish our study on ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS. We said, two weeks ago in Part 1, that GOD'S “Image Bearers” have all been MARRED BY SIN. But that's not the end of the story! GOD had a plan to redeem and restore the brokenness in HIS beloved “Image Bearers” that is central to fully understanding this essential belief. In this message,  Pastor Joe Still leads us to see GOD's restoration plan unfold and find the pathway to get in on that plan in the here and now.

The sermon explores the theological significance of humanity as image bearers of God, emphasizing the inherent dignity and value derived from this foundational identity. It examines the dual nature of humanity as embodied souls, highlighting the distinctiveness of gender and its role in reflecting God's character, and underscores the shared dominion mandate given to both men and women to fulfill God's purpose. The message stresses the importance of understanding these aspects in light of the fallen world, advocating for a deeper appreciation of gender roles and a commitment to living a purposeful life rooted in faith and relationship with God.

Even when you don't feel it, you're an image bearer of God.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/todayssinglechristianSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Click here to watch more episodes of the Midweek Chat!Anonymous Text-in Line: 507-557-0707In this episode, we discuss what righteous anger versus other types of anger looks like, a Biblical picture of how "created in the image of God" reconciles with election, Bethel's culture and Biblical alignment of the title pastor, and whether we should be "for" Israel in the present moment of its conflict with Iran.

Bearing the image of God looks like something. If you've accepted Jesus as Lord, you haven't just been mended, you've been made new—recreated to reveal God's nature to the world. But how do we know we're truly fulfilling our call to represent Him? In this thought-provoking message, Bill Johnson invites us to examine our lives through the lens of our responsibility as image-bearers. Being made in His image is so much more than an identity statement. It's a call to reflect His righteousness and goodness in how we live, love, relate, and lead. What happens when our choices fall outside His lordship? What becomes possible when we fully surrender our opinions, preferences, and actions to Him? This message will stir you to release what holds you back and embrace what's needed to represent the Father's heart well. Watch and be encouraged to live as a true image-bearer, revealing His nature to the world around you.

“How proud we often are of the victories in the war with nature, proud of the multitude of instruments we have succeeded in inventing, of the abundance of commodities we have been able to produce. Yet our victories have come to resemble defeats. In spite of our triumphs, we have fallen victims to the work of our hands; it is as if the forces we had conquered have conquered us.”— Abraham Joshua HeschelWhat does a soul do with power entrusted to him by the living God?What is its lasting legacy in the souls and spaces he inhabits?How is a man or woman remembered long after they've passed from this world?What is the formation—or lack thereof—that shapes these outcomes?These questions and others lie at the heart of the message of Becoming a King. How do we become people whose relationship with power leads to the flourishing of others rather than their suffering? How do we respond to our deep desire to be powerful, confront what has gone wrong, and become the kind of Image-Bearers whose strength helps heal and restore the world?Join me for Episode One of A Deeper Cut Series. As we mark the fifth anniversary of the release of Becoming a King, it feels both fitting and honoring to invite each member of our community, women and men alike, into more. Through interviews with like-hearted allies, teaching, conversations, and stories of how God has worked through this message, this ten-part series serves as a collection of trailheads—each centered on a deeper immersion through core ideas from Becoming a King.There is more and more of God and His Kingdom available. Much of Him, a breath away. Let's pursue it together.It has all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan and Cherie Snyder

This week's scripture:Psalm 104v24-35Acts 2v1-21What if the church is called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to restore God's Genesis 1 hope for a human family called to be image bearers in unique ways which are honored by one another? How do I contribute to God's desire for one family which honors and builds upon God's desire for one family full of unique expressions of image bearing?

In Christ Ephesians 1:3-14  //  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ. 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory. In Christ, we are: Chosen Holy and Blameless Adopted Who you are. Whose you are. Redeemed and Forgiven Ephesians 1:1  //  To God's holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus What I do What I have What I did What I desire Which is truer? I am CHOSEN I am ADOPTED I am HOLY I am BLAMELESS
I am REDEEMED
I am FORGIVEN I am LOVED

Ephesians 6:1-4 - The biblical perspective on the value of children was a revolution in its ancient context, one we're still struggling to fully live into today. Paul's teaching in Ephesians 6 to parents is what flows out of a view of children as full image-bearers of God--full of dignity and value given by God Himself. In it, we are challenged to take seriously kids' personhood and feelings and to nourish them through our discipline and instruction, empowerment and nurture. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 3 of our series "Bearing the Image as Fathers and Mothers"]

We are made in God's image—but what does that really mean? This week, we'll talk about what it looks like to reflect God's image, and how this shapes the way we see ourselves and others.

Maybe it's an elderly relative. Maybe it's a handicapped friend. God has created all in His image, including those with disabilities. In a world where disabled image bearers are often looked at with shame or even as less than human, how does the Christian respond? In this interview, Ryan Chase, pastor and father of physically challenged children, opens up on the struggles presenting a biblical perspective on how we treat and appreciate those made in God's image no matter how different.

The topic for the evening is, “A New Sexual Revolution: Living as Image Bearers, Male and Female.” Our culture today is confused about what it means to be male and female because it's lost sight of what men and women are for. God's Word tells us that God created men and women to bear His own image in the world.

Kindness seems to be in short supply today, evident in everything from online arguments to road rage and church divisions. As Christians, this is a problem because kindness is a fruit of the Spirit, and its scarcity means we're not reflecting Christ's work in our lives.
