Podcasts about jesus builds his church

Who actually builds the church — and what's our role in it? In this week's message from our "Welcomed." series, we dive into Acts 13:1-12 and the remarkable story of the church at Antioch becoming a launching pad for the gospel to the ends of the earth. The leadership team alone reads like an unlikely cast — a former church-ravager, a lifelong friend of a corrupt king, and men from across ethnic and cultural backgrounds — all brought together by the transforming power of the gospel. Jesus builds His church through gospel transformation, gospel mission, and gospel power. And in His grace, He builds it with people — changed people, people in teams, and people who are expectant and responsive to the Holy Spirit. Whether you're wondering where you fit, how to contribute, or what it even means to be the church, this message is a compelling invitation to show up, lean in, and trust that Jesus is doing something far bigger than any one of us. He could build it without us — but He's chosen not to.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.orgConnect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!Instagram: @integrity_churchFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/liveintegrity/

Acts 2:22-24; 2:36-3:1022“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.36Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.42And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.1Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. 8And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Jesus Builds His Church - We Want To See Jesus

Acts 9:19b-31Last week, we saw how Saul met Jesus and heard from Jesus how Saul would be His chosen instrument to:1) preach about Jesus to his fellow Jews, to Kings, and to the Gentiles.2) to suffer on account of the name of Jesus.This week we'll see how Saul's life begins to demonstrate these words from Jesus as he begins preaching about Jesus in the same places where he once plotted the death of Christians.And, as he does, his old friends and colleagues begin scheming how they will kill him so that they can silence him. Throughout the rest of Acts, we will see this pattern continue in Saul's life: how he preaches the name of Jesus and suffers on account of His Name. Through it all, we will see how Jesus builds His Church.

Jesus builds His Church. He told his followers that the gates of hell will not prevail (overcome) his church. The church belongs to Him; the church has Christ's power. The church is the bride of Christ, as described in the book of Ephesians and Revelation. People do not build the church. The Lord builds the… The post Jesus Builds His Church appeared first on Trinity Community Church.

When Jesus said, “I will build my church”, no one was expecting him to start building his church the way he did. In fact, on the day of Pentecost, we read that everyone there were “amazed and marvelled” at what they saw. When Jesus builds his church today, amazement and wonderment still accompany his church building activity. This is the final week of a series of sermons titled, “When Jesus builds his church.”  Pastor Michael Dutschke Bible Readings: Mark 1:21-28 and Acts 2: 1-21 (NLT)

When Jesus said, “I will build my church”, and told his followers that they would be his witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea, and to the ends of the earth, I wonder how his first follower imagined that would happen. Maybe they even had a strategic plan. The disciples soon discovered that they needed to let go of their ideas and agendas, because Jesus had a better plan.

When Jesus said, “I will build my church”, he was immersed in the Jewish religion where there were those who were “in” and those who were “out”. The Jews were “in”, and the Gentiles (non-Jews) were “out”. There were those who belonged to God, and those who didn't belong. During His time on earth, and especially after the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, Jesus didn't maintain those fences or put up new ones – He pulled them down.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on May 4, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    What is this rock?  Jesus says, The gates of hell will not prevail against "this rock".    *****   Matthew 16:13-18   When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, HE asked HIS disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?   14 And they said, Some say that THOU art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.   15 HE saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?   16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.   17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but MY Father which is in heaven.   18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build MY church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.    The "rock" that the church is built upon is "that word" that is revealed to us by God by HIS Spirit. That Word will never fail.   ***   John 6   Jesus says: 30 They said therefore unto HIM, What sign shewest THOU then, that we may see, and believe THEE? what dost THOU work? 31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, HE gave them bread from heaven to eat.    32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but MY Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.   33 For the bread of God is HE which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.   34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.   35 And Jesus said unto them, I (the Word) am the bread of life: he that cometh to ME shall never hunger; and he that believeth on ME shall never thirst.   36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen ME, and believe not.   37 All that the Father giveth ME shall come to ME; and him that cometh to ME I will in no wise cast out.   38 For I came down from heaven, not to do MINE own will, but the will of HIM that sent ME.   39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent ME, that of all which HE hath given ME I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.   40 And this is the will of HIM that sent ME, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on HIM, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.    41 The Jews then murmured at HIM, because HE said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.   42 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that HE saith, I came down from heaven?   43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.   44 No man can come to ME, except the Father which hath sent ME draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.   45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto ME.   46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save HE which is of God, HE hath seen the Father.   47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on ME hath everlasting life.   48 I am that bread of life.   49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.   50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.   51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is MY flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.   52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us HIS flesh to eat?   53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink HIS blood, ye have no life in you.   54 Whoso eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.   55 For MY flesh is meat indeed, and MY blood is drink indeed.   56 He that eateth MY flesh, and drinketh MY blood, dwelleth in ME, and I in him.   57 As the living Father hath sent ME, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth ME, even he shall live by ME.   58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.     That Word that comes down from heaven and is delivered to us today by the Holy Spirit of God in the form of a thought is "that rock" upon which the church is built.   ***   Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.     Matthew 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery:  and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.     I Corinthians 7:10-11  Paul said ... And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:   11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.  

When Jesus said, “I will build my church” it would be safe to say that His followers at the time didn't know how he would build his church. After Pentecost they soon found out Jesus' strategy. One word to describe Jesus' strategy of building his church was (and still is) through “adventure”.

When Jesus (who was perfect) said, “I will build my church” was he saying he was going to build the perfect church? I'm sure that finding (or becoming) Jesus' “perfect church” would be easy, if it wasn't for the fact that every expression of Jesus' church is filled with imperfect people!

Acts 2-37-47

We are going to answer the question: “What is the Church?” On the surface, it's an obvious answer. Yet, beneath it is so much more. Today we will look at what the entire Bible says about Jesus' Church. Open a bible to Matthew 16 and follow along with Pastor Kyle.

When we feel we've failed, it's hard to imagine God still calling us to His purpose. In this episode, Dr. John reflects on how the risen Jesus restored Peter after his denial, asking him three times, "Do you love me?" This moment not only restores Peter but also reaffirms his calling to lead the Church. Dr. John highlights how this act of forgiveness and commission reminds us that no failure is final in God's kingdom—our love for Christ should always lead to service and sacrifice.Eyewitnesses to the Resurrection: In this series, Dr. John Neufeld reflects on the life-changing moments that followed Jesus' resurrection. Through the eyes of those who witnessed it firsthand, we see how the truth of the empty tomb and the risen Christ began to reshape lives. From sorrow to hope, confusion to clarity, doubt to faith, this series invites us to consider how the resurrection still speaks to our own faith today. It is more than a first hand account of the resurrection. It is also a promise of hope for each one of us to encounter our living Lord.

Acts 16:1-15 The post Jesus Builds His Church appeared first on Hixson Presbyterian Church.

In this transformative series, we'll discover how only Jesus can lead us into a future filled with hope, purpose, and freedom. He opens our eyes to new possibilities, transforms lives from the inside out, and empowers us to bring hope to those around us. We'll explore the life-changing power of Jesus and what it means to walk in His vision for our lives.

Having put away falsehood, as believers, we are to speak truth to one another. What does that mean? The body grows itself up in love when each part is working properly. Truth is a necessary condition for proper functioning.

How Jesus Builds His Church | Matthew 16:18 | Pastor Will Cover

Before Jesus died and was resurrected, He made the statement, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it.”  This reality happened very quickly against all odds after He ascended to heaven and left His disciples in charge.  We learn about how the disciples kept their eyes on Jesus and started a movement that literally changed the world forever.  We will read through the first 7 chapters of Acts to unpack these truths.

"Jesus Builds His Church" (Acts 18:1-17) - October 1, 2023 by OrlandoGrace

Peter is the Rock Jesus Builds His Church Upon! What Does That Imply For Us? In today's Gospel, we witness a pivotal moment . . . . . . where Jesus designates Simon Peter as the cornerstone upon which He intends to build His Church. Matthew 16:18 becomes a cornerstone passage that elucidates the foundation of the apostolic mission of the Church. With the words, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it,” Jesus imparts a profound message about the enduring strength and purpose of His Church. The significance of this declaration becomes more apparent when we examine the linguistic symbolism. The name “Peter” derives from the Greek word “Petros,” which translates to “Rock” or “Stone.” It's a name that encapsulates the stability and solidity that a rock represents. Interestingly, the scene of this proclamation is set against a backdrop that reinforces this symbolism: an altar made of a substantial 3+-ton rock and an ambo carved from a multi-ton rock. These visual cues emphasize the weightiness and significance of the message. . . . What Does That Imply For Us? Beyond the physical imagery, the heart of the matter lies in the spiritual implications. Jesus' declaration to Peter carries layers of meaning. At the surface, it signifies Peter's foundational role in the establishment of the Church. He is the bedrock upon which the Church constructs the community of believers. This points to the importance of faith, loyalty, and dedication that Peter embodies. Furthermore, this event serves as a reminder that Jesus' Church is built on faith, not just Peter alone. The idea of the “powers of death” being unable to prevail underscores the enduring nature of the Church, protected by divine forces against any adversity. In essence, Jesus is entrusting Peter with a leadership role, one that encompasses the mission of guiding believers and fortifying the Church against challenges. For us, the modern followers of Christ, this Gospel passage holds timeless wisdom. It urges us to reflect on the foundations of our own faith and the roles we play within the broader Church community. The Church prompts us to examine our commitment to the principles that the Church stands upon and consider how we can contribute to its growth and resilience. Just as Peter was chosen to be the rock, we are invited to be steadfast in our convictions and to actively participate in building the Church through our actions and beliefs. What is Jesus telling Peter, and telling us in today's Gospel? Listen more to this Meditation Media.

Jesus Builds His Church By His Word and Through His Spirit for Worship.For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

God intends for followers of Jesus Christ to live in community with other believers. That community is called the Church.

Jesus Christ works in our lives within a body of believers that the Bible calls “the church” to transform our lives.

Pastor Rod shows us how Jesus builds His Church.
