Podcasts about law of christ

Pastor Chas Stevenson

Dave Rich continues his examination of how Christians should approach the Old Testament law. This teaching tackles one of the most debated questions in biblical ethics: Are believers still bound by the Mosaic law? Rich methodically works through the traditional categories of moral, ceremonial, and civil law, revealing why these divisions—while useful—don't actually appear in Scripture itself. He demonstrates that the Bible presents the law as a unified whole, yet the New Testament clearly teaches that Christians live under a new covenant established at Christ's death. Through careful exposition of passages from Hebrews, Jeremiah, Romans, and the Gospels, Rich shows how the old covenant has been surpassed by something better. He explains the distinction between being legally obligated to Mosaic law versus learning from its wisdom and principles. The message addresses real questions believers face: What about the Sabbath? Food laws? Civil penalties? Rich provides clarity on which Old Testament commands still apply and why, helping Christians navigate Scripture with both freedom and faithfulness to God's unchanging character.

Jordon GilmoreKey ScriptureExodus 20:17“You shall not covet…”Unlike earlier commandments that prohibit actions, this commandment targets thoughts, desires, and heart postureIt addresses how we:View ourselvesView othersView what we have and what we lackWhat It Means to CovetCoveting = an unhealthy desire or lust for what God has given to someone else, or has not yet ordained for youIt begins in the heart, not behaviorOften fueled by comparison, which steals joyWhy This Matters TodayCovetousness is deeply natural—even visible in childrenSocial media intensifies it:We covet what others displayWe also project images designed to make others covetThis commandment forces heart-level examination in both directionsWhat Overflows from a Covetous HeartEnvy and jealousyDiscontentment and complainingMisaligned prayers driven by comparisonA violation of Jesus' command to love your neighbor as yourselfTwo Guardrails Against CovetingHumility (When Receiving Praise)1 Peter 5:5–6God resists the proud, gives grace to the humbleWe don't seek exaltation—God does it in His timeContentment (When Wanting More)Hebrews 13:5 — Be content; God is presentPhilippians 4:11–13 — Contentment in plenty or need1 Timothy 6:6–8 — Godliness with contentment is great gain“I can do all things” is about contentment, not self-promotionThree Common Ways We Encounter Covetousness1. Through AmbitionAmbition can be healthy or sinfulThe key question: Why do I want to advance?Kingdom ambition produces prayer and gratitude—not resentment2. Through Discontentment and EnvyDiscontentment = dissatisfaction with where God has placed usLeads to envy when we overvalue others' blessingsTwo root problems:Wrong perspective — we can't see clearlyWrong valuation — undervaluing what God has given usJesus' warning (Luke 12:15)Life does not consist in possessions3. Through Scarcity & Domination ThinkingBelief that life is a zero-sum game:If you win, I loseLeads to unhealthy competition, control, and fearPhilippians 4:19 — God supplies all needs from His richesGod is limitless, not scarceHeart-Level DiagnosisCovetousness often reveals:Distrust in GodUngratefulnessMisplaced ambitionWrong perspective and valuationFear that there isn't “enough” to go aroundJesus: The Ultimate ExampleTempted with power, riches, and gloryResisted covetousness because He knew what He already had:A perfect relationship with the FatherTrue contentment flows from valuing God above everything elseFinal TakeawaysRun your race—don't measure your life by othersGuard your ambition, perspective, and desiresRoot out covetousness before it takes holdSeek first the kingdomTrust the God of more than enough

Jordon GilmorePodcast Notes — Law of Christ (Part 6B): Do Unto Others (Stealing & Truth)Series ContextLaw of Christ series uses the Ten Commandments as a mirror, not a means of salvation.We are saved by faith in Christ, who perfectly fulfilled the law.The law remains holy, righteous, and good (Romans 7:7, 12).Ongoing question: How am I doing in this area when I hold my life up to God's Word?Focus Commandments (Exodus 20:15–16)You shall not stealYou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor1. You Shall Not Steal — A Heart IssueJesus' TeachingJohn 10:1, 10:The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroyJesus comes to give abundant lifeStealing is the opposite of God's nature and God's intent.Stealing Goes Beyond MoneyMaterial possessionsTime (dishonest work habits)Energy (draining others selfishly)Credit (taking recognition that isn't earned)Where Stealing StartsExternal actions reflect internal heart posture.Violating “do unto others” begins in the heart long before behavior.Matthew 15:18–19From the heart come:Evil thoughtsTheftFalse witnessBehavior reveals what has been planted inside.Replacing Thief-Thoughts with the WordCommon thoughts that lead toward stealing—and their scriptural counters:“I'm tired of waiting; I'll take what I want.” → Galatians 6:9 — Don't grow weary; a harvest is coming.“I need this more than they do.” → Philippians 4:19; Psalm 23:1; Matthew 6:8 — God supplies every need.“No one will notice.” → Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13 — Nothing is hidden from God.Practice:Recognize harmful thoughts.Cast them down.Replace them with Scripture to keep the heart healthy.2. You Shall Not Bear False Witness — Preserving TruthWhat False Witness MeansMore than lying—it's giving false testimony, especially about others.It corrupts justice and destroys trust within community.God's System for Establishing TruthDeuteronomy 19:15Truth is established by two or three witnesses.This principle:Forms the basis of justice systemsRuns throughout all of ScriptureExamplesDeuteronomy 30:19 — Heaven and earth called as witnesses1 Corinthians 15:6 — Over 500 witnesses to the resurrectionRevelation 11 — Two witnesses in the future tribulationWhy It MattersFalse witness perverts God's design for truth.One lie multiplies and erodes trust over time.Key PrincipleNot just “don't lie” — “In all things, be truthful.”3. Our Words Partner with GodTestimony reinforces truth in others' lives.Revelation 12:11 — We overcome by:The blood of the LambThe word of our testimonyWhen God works in us and we testify, we partner with Him in establishing faith.Closing ChallengeGuard what fills your heart.Speak truth intentionally.Model integrity for the next generation.Don't just avoid falsehood—actively tell the truth.

Jordon GilmoreSeries ContextLaw of ChristFocus: the remaining commandments that govern how we treat othersThese commandments move from God-focused to community-focused obedienceThe Commandments in View (Exodus 20:13–16)You shall not murderYou shall not commit adulteryYou shall not stealYou shall not bear false witnessWhy These MatterThey establish:The value of human lifeThe sanctity of marriageRespect for others' propertyA foundation for justiceThese laws govern life within community, especially Christian communityThe Law as a MirrorGod's Word functions as a mirror, not a checklistWe don't read Scripture to excuse ourselves, but to examine our heartsGrace forgives us, but grace does not excuse careless obedienceThe Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12)“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”Jesus says this sums up the Law and the ProphetsObedience to God is lived out through how we treat peopleChristianity cannot be lived in isolation—it requires communityJesus Raises the Standard (Matthew 5)Jesus doesn't just address outward actions—He addresses the heart.Murder Begins with Anger (Matt. 5:21–22)Murder starts with unrighteous angerAnger allowed to take root produces:BitternessEnvyDestructive wordsUltimately, violenceWords reveal what's growing in the heartThe warning isn't just about actions—it's about spiritual dangerAdultery Begins with Lust (Matt. 5:27–30)Lust in the heart is adultery in seed formJesus' extreme language shows how serious early sin isSmall compromises grow into life-altering consequencesSin must be confronted early, before it takes rootThe Battle of the HeartThe heart is fertile ground—it will grow somethingGod's Word and sinful desires compete for rootWe must actively tend our hearts:Pull weeds earlyGuard thoughtsDiscipline inputsNo one is far from failure—stay humble and vigilantJesus Fulfilled the Heart of the LawJesus didn't just avoid sin—He fulfilled God's intent perfectlyHe harbored no bitterness, no lust, no accusationBecause He could not even be accused, we cannot be convictedHis perfect obedience makes our salvation possibleThe Cross and Covenant LoveJesus' teaching on adultery reveals His devotion to the ChurchHe didn't just warn against unfaithfulness—He demonstrated faithfulnessOn the cross, Jesus sacrificed Himself fully for His BrideThe law isn't about rule-keeping—it's about covenant loveKey TakeawaysThe law exposes our hearts, not just our behaviorSin begins long before it becomes visibleGrace forgives, but obedience transformsOur goal is not perfection, but growing ChristlikenessEvery look in the mirror should draw us back to the cross

Jordon GilmoreKey TextExodus 20:12 – “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”Ephesians 6:1–3 – The first commandment with a promise.1. Why This Commandment MattersThis command sits in the middle of the Ten Commandments—between spiritual laws and moral laws.Its placement shows how important honoring parents is to God.Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly:He satisfied the law's demands.He modeled how to live a holy, obedient life.2. What “Honor” Really MeansHonor = respect in word and action, with an inward attitude of esteem.Honor begins with respecting the position of parent, even when the person fell short.The goal is respect for both position and merit—but position still deserves honor.Example: saluting the rank/uniform, not the person—honoring authority even when relationships are difficult.3. A Cultural Tension We Must NavigateOur generation emphasizes emotional health and personal healing—which is good.But reflecting on childhood wounds can sometimes harden hearts toward parents.Even in cases of neglect, abuse, immaturity, or addiction:God's command does not change.The challenge: learning how to honor parents without denying real pain.4. The Promise Attached to HonorPaul calls this the first commandment with a promise:“That it may go well with you and that you may live long.”We never graduate from this command—even as adults.There is wisdom and benefit built into honoring parents.5. Three Benefits of Honoring ParentsPersonal HealingSetting a Generational PatternBreaking Generational Trauma6. God Takes Disobedience SeriouslyRomans 1:28–32 and 2 Timothy 3:1–5 list “disobedient to parents” alongside grave sins.Why so serious?It violates God's divine order meant for protection.Rejecting earthly authority makes it harder to submit to God's authority.Hebrews 12:9 – Respecting earthly parents trains us to honor God as Father.7. Jesus as the Perfect ExampleLuke 2:41–52 – Jesus at age 12 in the temple.Though spiritually exceptional, Jesus:Returned home.Was submissive to His parents.For 18 years, He lived under their authority.Result: “Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.”Lesson:Surpassing parents in knowledge, skill, or spirituality does not remove the call to honor.8. Honor in Action, Not Just WordsMatthew 15:3–9 – Jesus condemns “lip-service honor.”The Pharisees used religion to avoid caring for parents.We should pray: “Lord, what does honor look like in this season?”9. Giving Grace and Ongoing Care10. A Generational Vision (Jeremiah 35)Lesson:Obedience to parents produces long-term generational protection and blessing.What we model today may protect descendants we will never meet.11. Final ChallengeHonoring parents is not just personal—it's generational.Our obedience today shapes our children, grandchildren, and beyond.God calls families to be faithful across generations.It begins with honoring our fathers and mothers.

How does God chastise us? David - Austin, TX (19:49)My daughter lost a preborn baby. Did that baby have a spirit? Tony - Waynesburg, PA (23:04)

Jordon GilmoreIn this message, we continue the Law of Christ series, using the Ten Commandments as a framework to explore how Jesus fulfilled the law and how we live that out today. This week focuses on the Third Commandment — “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” (Exodus 20:7).1. The Meaning Behind God's NameIn ancient Israel, the name of the Lord — Yahweh — was treated with such reverence that people refused to even say it aloud. They used titles like Adonai or Jehovah out of fear of misusing His name. Scripture shows how serious this command was: in Leviticus 24:16, blasphemy against the name of God was punishable by death.But Jordon reminds us the deeper issue wasn't just speech — it was heart posture. The Pharisees honored God outwardly but lived in contradiction to His character. The command not to take God's name in vain calls us to live lives that reflect His holiness and integrity.2. Reverence Beyond WordsTo “take the Lord's name in vain” isn't only about avoiding curse words or false oaths — it's about how we carry His name in daily life. When we call ourselves Christians, we bear His name. Every word, action, and attitude represents Him.James 5:12 echoes Jesus' teaching: let your yes be yes and your no be no — live honestly without needing oaths.The goal: a life of integrity that upholds God's name rather than misuses it.3. Why God's Name MattersTwo truths anchor our reverence:His name is holy and worthy to be praised.“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth.” (Psalm 8:1)Jesus taught us to begin prayer with “Hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9).His name carries power.“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)Salvation and answered prayer come through His name (John 14:14; Romans 10:13).4. Living Under His NameWe are marked by His name — children of God, Christ-followers. Like a jersey with the team's name on the front, our lives should represent the One we belong to. Every interaction should reflect His character.5. Guarding Against CasualnessWe can misuse God's name by becoming too casual or irreverent — treating prayer or worship lightly, joking in holy moments, or trivializing what is sacred. Jordon challenges us to recover a sense of awe — remembering that we approach a holy God only through grace.6. The Fulfillment in ChristJesus perfectly honored the Father's name.“I have come in My Father's name.” (John 5:43)God exalted Him and gave Him “the name above every name” (Philippians 2:9–11). At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow — the ultimate fulfillment of the Third Commandment.Key Takeaway: Honoring God's name is not just about speech — it's about living in a way that reflects His holiness, truth, and power. When we bear His name, let our lives declare His worth.

The Law of Christ | Deuteronomy 5:1-22“With All My Heart” As we near our 10th anniversary, we're returning to God's call in the Shema: to love Him with all our heart. This year, we're going all in— renewing our love for Christ's message, His people, His mission, and His call to steward all we are for His glory. Come with us— into God's vision for a people set ablaze by grace, living in wholehearted response to His unfailing love.Speaker: Albert Chung

Paul White teaching from Paul White Ministries.

The church's unity is the organic outworking of the gospel applied. It revolutionizes our relationships, especially in the church. The historically pressing issue that Paul deals with in Romans 14 has to do with certain Christian consciences being bound to the law of Moses and the resulting challenges that presents in the New Covenant church. In the opening of Romans 15, Paul summarizes his address on these matters of conscience. His primary burden is that Christ would be central in the church. To this end, he urges the church to prioritize apprehending and applying the beauty and glory of Christ in the gospel. Masterfully, he redirects both the “weak” and “strong” in conscience to the perfect law and liberty that is ours in Christ. Christians may not be under the law of Moses, but they certainly are under the law of Christ.
