Podcasts about image of christ

In this episode of Kingdom Now, Pastor Karl continues the verse-by-verse study through Matthew 18, picking up where Jeff Stemple left off. Building on the disciples' question of "who's the greatest?", Karl unpacks Jesus's answer: none of us are — apart from Him, we're all dependent and called to humble, childlike faith.Walking through verses 7-20, Karl explores how Jesus's kingdom is neither casual about sin nor stingy with mercy. He digs into Jesus's strong warnings about cutting off whatever causes us to stumble, the parable of the wandering sheep (and why it's different from Luke 15's version), and God's heart to pursue those who wander — even when they know exactly where home is. The episode closes with practical, biblical steps for restoring relationships when a brother or sister sins against you, emphasizing that the goal is always restoration, not winning.A convicting and grace-filled look at how radical discipleship requires taking sin seriously while never giving up on people.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Crescent Church Sunday Evening Service - 14th December 2025

This All Saints' Day sermon presents the idea that beyond the four canonical Gospels, there exists a “fifth Gospel” — the Gospel written in the lives of the saints. These holy men and women, diverse in background, vocation, and temperament, reveal Christ's transforming grace made manifest in human variety. From emperors to hermits, scholars to the simple, their sanctity demonstrates that holiness does not erase individuality but perfects it — making each person more fully themselves in the image of God. The preacher connects this vision to the Beatitudes, emphasizing that true godliness flows not from mere virtue or moralism but from love and union with God. All Saints' Day, then, celebrates not distant perfection but the invitation for every believer to become holy — to join the great multitude of God's friends, known and unknown, who point us ever closer to Christ.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Oct 21, 2025 You are invited to live as one whose heart is continually renewed by divine truth. Life with God begins by recognizing that His presence washes and repositions the soul, and every encounter with His Word reshapes the heart into something more aligned with His nature. Humanity, once blinded by self and sin, receives sight through the Spirit—seeing Christ clearly and being transformed into His likeness from one degree of glory to another. Growth in this life is progressive; maturity is not a single event but a steady yielding to divine instruction, pruning away distractions, offenses, and pride. You were never created to remain ordinary or carnal; you are called to become the dwelling place of God—reflecting His patience, humility, and strength. The measure of true growth is not in knowledge or religious activity but in obedience that flows from love. Obedience to the faith means allowing the life of God within to dictate choices, emotions, and actions until every part of your being reflects His peace. This transformation requires continual intimacy with both the Word and the Spirit, where scripture ceases to be text and becomes living presence. Through this communion, God writes His laws upon the heart, teaching the soul to walk in freedom and power. Guard your heart fiercely, for offense is one of the greatest thieves of spiritual strength. Refuse to carry anger, bitterness, or resentment into any new day. Practice quick forgiveness, soft speech, and inner quietness; exercise your conscience daily until it is free from offense toward both God and people. When past pain or trauma tries to define your reactions, remember that the old self has died. You are not a sum of your wounds but a new creation whose life flows from the Spirit. Let joy, peace, and gentleness replace every trace of anger or fear. Live from this healed center—daily surrendering, daily loving, daily forgiving. When you fail, rise quickly. When you're wounded, invite the Spirit's healing. The Son of Righteousness still rises with healing in His wings, restoring every heart that turns toward Him. This is the life you were made for: to reflect Christ's glory on earth, to love without offense, and to walk in the unbroken joy of being fully made new.

In The Image of Christ in Russian Literature: Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Pasternak (Northern Illinois University Press, 2018), Dr. John Givens of the University of Rochester discusses classics of Russian literature such as The Brothers Karamazov and Dr. Zhivago, as well as texts of less renown to English-speaking audiences, such as Tolstoy's Resurrection. These texts and others, Givens suggests, portray Christ apophatically: that is, by showing who Christ was not, in order to illuminate who Christ therefore must be. In addition to the novels themselves, Givens cites sources such as personal correspondence and important theological works, thus bringing an English-speaking public to greater depth of understanding than would be possible simply by reading Russian novels in translation. Though focused on a specific topic, Givens' book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in familiarizing themselves with some of the “greats” of the Russian literary canon. Aaron Weinacht is Professor of History at the University of Montana Western in Dillon, MT. He teaches courses on Russian and Soviet History, World History, and Philosophy of History. His research interests include the sociological theorist Philip Rieff and the influence of Russian nihilism on American libertarianism. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Philippians 3:12–21, Paul reminds us that Christ didn't save us to meet impossible expectations, but to transform us completely into His image. We press on not because we've already arrived, but because we belong to Christ and are being made complete in Him. This journey of spiritual growth includes knowing Christ deeply, becoming like Him through ongoing transformation, living with a heavenly mindset, growing in Kingdom community, and embracing Christ's power that will one day make all things new. So don't get stuck in the past or discouraged by your imperfections — press on, because Jesus is not done with you yet.

"Patient continuance in well-doing" is a divine principle. It requires faithful service today, tomorrow, and for a lifetime. Jesus said, "I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father" (John 5:30). If we follow Brother Singh's Christ-centered example, we will be saved.

Mary consented to the formation of Christ within her womb, and Paul calls all people to consent to Christ being formed within. The other choice is bearing the subpersonal image.

Sunday Sermon @ St. Philopateer Coptic Orthodox Church - Dallas, TX ~ December 1, 2024 | Hathor 22, 1741

As Christians, we're instructed to imitate Jesus, right? But is that even possible? Think about it! Jesus was sinless, He performed miracles, and He was God's beloved Son! So how could we possibly come anywhere close to being like Him? Well, today's guest, author Cynthia Heald shares how God Himself makes this possible. Through Scripture, she'll teach you how God shapes our hearts, motivations, and actions so we're conformed into His likeness. Plus, she shares the biggest myths or misconceptions we have when it comes to becoming like Jesus, as well as how to avoid falling into a perfectionist, works-based faith in our attempt to be more like Him. It's time to embrace the call to imitate Christ and discover the joy and fulfillment that come from reflecting His character.
