Philippians 3:4–10 reveals the apostle Paul's powerful testimony of surrender—counting all things as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus. In this video, we dive into what it means to truly know Jesus, not just intellectually but intimately (ginōskō), and why following Him is worth giving up everything.Watch this episode as a video on YouTubeSign up for the Deeper Digest (everything Deeper Christian in one email each Saturday)Subscribe to the Deeper Christian YouTube channelCheck out the study notes for this episode-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 359View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/359
Okay, put on your theological thinking caps, because in this podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, you'll get a great answer to a BIG question: How do we know Jesus founded the Catholic Church and not some other Christian group? Patrick brings the receipts, the analogies, and yes… the flat earth references. The Question That Sparked It All A listener named Timothy emails Patrick this question: “Hey Patrick, aren’t you being a little harsh? You call out Protestants for coming down on Catholics, but then don’t you come down just as hard on non-Catholics? Aren’t both sides just passionate about what they believe?” Timothy’s tone is respectful. And Patrick loves it. He takes it seriously. He gives a full, no-punches-pulled response: rooted in reason, history, and good old-fashioned Catholic confidence. The Flat Earth Analogy Patrick compares Protestantism to… flat earth theory. Not because Protestants are dumb (he’s clear about that; they’re very sincere, smart, and well-meaning), but because: You can be sincere… and still be sincerely wrong. He argues that Protestant theology, like flat earth theory, is demonstrably false. It just doesn’t hold up when you look at Scripture, history, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. Just as science clearly disproves a flat earth, Church history disproves that Protestantism was ever the original Christianity. So, What Does the Bible Say? Patrick points out that Protestantism often relies on concepts like: Sola Scriptura ("Bible alone") Once Saved, Always Saved …which aren’t in the Bible... and in some cases are even contradicted by the Bible. He brings up passages like: 2 Thessalonians 2:15: Hold fast to the traditions, oral and written. 1 Corinthians 11: Keep the traditions as I delivered them. These support Catholic teachings about Scripture and Tradition. Patrick says that trusting only personal Bible interpretation turns the faith into a theological Rubik’s Cube: everyone has their own twist on it. That’s just not how Jesus set it up. Early Christians Weren’t Protestant, They Were... Catholic He brings up St. John Henry Newman, the Anglican scholar who tried to disprove Catholicism… and ended up converting because the evidence was so overwhelming. The early Church: Believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist Celebrated the Mass as a sacrifice Had sacraments, priests, apostolic authority Baptized babies Defended Trinitarian doctrine against heresies And all this was happening centuries before the Reformation. Protestantism, Patrick argues, is a latecomer: a break from the historical Church, not a return to it. The Church is Noah’s Ark Patrick closes with a beautiful, personal touch: The Catholic Church is the Ark Jesus built to carry us through the flood of confusion, division, and error. He didn’t leave us a Rubik’s Cube Bible to figure out solo. He left us a Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. That’s why Patrick is confident, not just passionate. He's not trying to win arguments. He’s trying to show that there’s an unbroken, visible, historical Church founded by Christ, and it’s Catholic.
Welcome to Rise Up with Father Jonathan Meyer! Today's Gospel begins with a surprising detail—Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Feast of the Dedication… Hanukkah! Yes, Jesus celebrated Hanukkah because He was a faithful, practicing Jew. Just as Jesus went on pilgrimage, observed holy days, and prayed throughout the day, we are called to follow His example. But there's more—you are now the temple! Through your baptism and the renewal of your baptismal promises at Easter, you were consecrated as a dwelling place of God. Let today be a day to rejoice: You are a temple. Jesus celebrates you. Amen.

Romans - The Just Shall Live By Faith
Our Good Shepherd promises that we are his sheep and that nothing can take us out of his hand. We can trust his promises.
The world is filled with talkers. Many people claim to care about you. However, we know what many of those individuals do when it's time to turn their words into action. Jesus tells you in his Word that he cares for you dearly... that he would do anything for you... that he's leading you into the green pastures of paradise. How do you know you can trust him? Simple. Jesus followed up his words with action. Jesus promised he would die to save you from your sin. He did. Scripture promised the Savior would rise from the dead, proving that payment for sins was complete. It happened. Jesus always follows through on what he says. Every promise he makes is fulfilled. Jesus once illustrated this point with a striking metaphor: that of the Good Shepherd. All shepherds use words, calling to the sheep in hopes they will follow. What sets the Good Shepherd apart is that his words are accompanied by action, including his willingness to lay down his life for his sheep. Because he lives, we know Jesus is trustworthy and true.
Many Christians receive from a JESUS they do not know. They truly have no idea of the JESUS behind the miracles and testimonies they receive, and yet they are in church. Being in church and not knowing JESUS is a waste of time. The reason why many Christians are quick to leave church or think JESUS has forsaken them when encounter problems, is because they don't know JESUS. Beyond congregational settings, we must all endeavour to have a personal relationship with JESUS. Plug in to listen, as Pastor Charles Nyaaba brings you the undiluted word of God about knowing JESUS!ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: JOHN 9:11PREACHED AT THE HOPEWAY REVIVAL CHURCH, FIRST SERVICE(TESTIMONY ARENA).

- 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 / If you’re a Christian, following Jesus faithfully, the question of his validity is well behind you. You’re convinced Jesus was who said he was because of what he's done in your life. To become a Christian doesn’t mean one commits intellectual suicide. Christians know why they believe. The facts are there. The proof is there.

Kerusso exists to tell people about the Good News of Jesus Christ, but somehow in our information-jacked world, culture has moved further away from understanding who the most famous person in history really is. Millions of books and articles have been written about a carpenter who lived in the Middle East 2000 years ago, and Jesus has been identified as anything from a desert mystic to God Himself.Historically, He was born into a Jewish family in Judea at the time the Roman Empire controlled the area. Born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth, Jesus was 30 before He gained a reputation as a great teacher. But He was much more than that. The Bible tells us that He was sent into the world by God the Father, to stand in our place and take the penalty for our sin.According to Genesis, man defied God's template for living and because He is holy, God requires that someone is accountable for sin. Had Jesus not entered the world, we'd be left without a way to reconcile with God. Long story short, Jesus Christ is much more than just a wise teacher. He's also the Son of God. The Bible also tells us Jesus is one with the Father. Remember, when Moses encountered God in the burning bush, he asked God how to identify Him to the people. And God replied, “I am who I am.”And that was in the Old Testament. In John 8:58, in the New Testament, Jesus tells the people, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” Jesus Christ is a divine being. And John 1:29 says, “The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.'” This description of Him is not embraced by most people around the world. The Bible tells us that man's heart is wicked. It isn't like billions are rushing to churches so that they can have their sins forgiven. The human mind and heart don't want to focus on the messier side of the gospel. We're imperfect. We sin. And our sin is an offense to God. Who wants to hear that? We don't want to be told that we're not good. We want to be told we're good and worthy of God's love.And the Good News, the gospel in the person of Jesus Christ, is that we have the pathway to be like Him. Romans Chapter Eight tells us that it is God's desire that we become like Jesus, and that's a goal worth reaching for. Let's pray.Father, thank You for providing us with your word, that tells us exactly who Jesus is and what His life means to us. You could have abandoned us to sin, but You didn't. The praise and the glory belong to You alone. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

March 16, 2025 | Stand Alone | Philippians 3:7-15In this sermon from March 16th, 2025, Pastor Ben Lofton takes us through Philippians 3:7-15 in a powerful message titled "The Pursuit of Knowing Christ." Reflecting on the doctrine of justification, Pastor Ben challenges us to consider how God's grace should ignite a deep and unrelenting desire to truly know Jesus—not just intellectually, but in every part of our lives. Through the Apostle Paul's own testimony, we learn that knowing Christ is the greatest treasure, and this pursuit should shape every decision, action, and attitude we have. Pastor Ben dives into practical ways we can press on in our faith, including Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and sharing the gospel. Is Jesus your treasure? Are you living with a relentless pursuit to know Him more?
