Podcasts about life giving

Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset asChrist Jesus:Touch has LIFE-GIVING power.Song of Solomon 7:7-8 MSG “Your beauty, within and without, is absolute, dear lover, close companion. You are tall and supple, like the palm tree, and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates. I say, “I'm going to climb that palm tree! I'm going to caress its fruit!” Oh yes! Your breasts will be clusters of sweet fruit to me,1. Sex is GOOD but God created it with BOUNDARIES for your benefit.2. The BIOLOGY behind the theology of sex. DOPAMIN VASOPRESSIN OXYTOCIN1 Corinthians 6:16–18 MSG There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, ‘The two become one.' Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever— the kind of sex that can never ‘become one.' There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love…3. The PRACTICAL theology of GREAT sex in marriage.1 Corinthians 7:1–5 MSG Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, you asked, ‘Is it a good thing to have sexual relations?' Certainly — but only within a certain context. It's good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. Sexual drives are strong, but marriage is strong enough to contain them and provide for a balanced and fulfilling sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality — the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband.Marriage is not a place to stand up for your rights. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree, and if it is for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again.Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it.1. Sex is only designed for the CONTEXT OF MARRIAGE.2. Abstaining from sex in marriage is NOT GOOD.#1 Conflict with sex is FREQUENCY.3. Sex needs to be a place of MUTUALITY.Men tend to be like MICROWAVES. Women tend to be likeCROCKPOTS.Women need NON-SEXUAL affection to be turned on.Men need to FEEL WANTED to be fulfilled emotionally and sexually.4. Keep TALKING and GROWING to avoid temptation.It takes a LOT MORE than sex to have a strong marriage. But it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to have a strong marriage WITHOUT IT.SINGLES:To have the best sex in marriage commit to abstain outside of it.MARRIED:“What are some things I can do that help you get in the mood?”“What is your ideal frequency on a weekly basis?” Agree on a range. Get started Tonight.

Luke Cornelius - This sermon launches a term-long exploration of reform—not through politics or power, but through the word of the living God. Using the story of Elijah and a compromised Israel, we see how flirting with the world slowly leads to being conquered by it, and why the church's unfaithfulness leaves a darkened world without hope. Yet alongside judgment comes real hope: God reforms his people and rescues the world by speaking truth that exposes sin, provokes repentance, and even brings life out of death. As the story opens, we are left asking whether God's people will listen—and whether we will.

Aneirin Glyn - As the darkness of evil, idolatry, and death engulfs the land, where is hope to be found? Astoundingly, the living Lord God gives life through his word.

An Unwasted Life: Spending you life pursuing joy by delighting in God.

An Unwasted Life: Spending you life pursuing joy by delighting in God.

Phil Hudson - James wants to equip Christians to be firstfruits of God's new creation who bear fruit. So, how do Christians grow? James shows us it is by meekly receiving the Word which saves and by actively doing the Word we hear. And there's no other way!

Drew Balch - James warns us about the most dangerous lie of all: self-deception. James challenges us not just to hear God's word, but to do it. Hearing without obedience doesn't save. Disturbingly, it only deceives. True religion is truth that actually changes us.

This week we will be studying Mark 2:23–3:6 under the theme “The Life-Giving Lord of the Sabbath.” In these verses, Jesus confronts not only questions about rest and obedience, but the deeper issue of who has authority over life itself. The Sabbath was given as a gift, yet it had become a burden. Jesus does not abolish God's command; he fulfills it by restoring life and revealing himself as the One in whom true rest is found. When the Lord of the Sabbath is present, rules give way to mercy, and rest is no longer something to achieve, but something to receive.Series Summary: Fast-paced, urgent, and relentlessly focused on Jesus, the Gospel of Mark shows us not just what Jesus said, but what he did. Written for a Roman world hungry for power, Mark introduces a surprising King - one who comes to serve, to suffer, and to give his life for many. Over the coming weeks, we'll walk this road with Jesus, from the wilderness to the cross, discovering how the Servant-King's actions reveal the true good news - and what it means to follow him as disciples who take up our own cross and trust him with our lives.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

We can't believe we're saying this… Episode 200 of the Drive Time Debrief is here! What started as a few honest conversations has grown into a community of physicians who are re-imagining what it means to practice medicine without losing themselves in the process. Whether this is your very first episode or you've been with us since the beginning — welcome. We're so glad you're here.

We live in a culture obsessed with efficiency—quick fixes, shortcuts, and life hacks that promise fast results. But what if the life God is forming in us requires something slower, deeper, and more transformative?In this message, we explore the difference between life hacks and life-giving habits, and why spiritual maturity is not accidental—it is formed through intentional rhythms, practices, and relationships over time. Using Colossians 1, Hebrews 5, and other key Scriptures, this teaching reframes Christian maturity not as doing more religious activity, but becoming fully trained in Christ for the sake of others.We examine common cultural lies about identity, truth, and independence, and contrast them with biblical habits that lead to real formation: knowing and relying on God's love, ongoing engagement with Scripture, sacrificial service, and authentic interdependence within the church. This message challenges cultural Christianity and invites us into a committed, formed, resilient faith that lasts.If you are entering a new year asking, “Who am I becoming?” or “What kind of faith do I want to build?”, this teaching offers a clear, biblical vision for spiritual growth rooted in Jesus—not hype, not shortcuts, but transformation.Resources in this SermonScripture PassagesColossians 1:21–29Hebrews 5:11–141 John 4:15–18Romans 12:1–2Philippians 3:15–181 Corinthians 3:1–3Psalm 16:11Galatians 5:22Philippians 4:4–6Books & AuthorsInvitation to a Journey — M.

22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;24 for “All flesh is like grass     and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers,     and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

A Life Of Thanksgiving1 Kings 17:8-16Jarrod Robinson

The struggle is where the growth happens. This beautiful metaphor helps illustrate how vital the growing pains are for us to become who we desire to be. Pairing committed action with struggle develops us in intentional ways.

How can Christian men and women live faithfully in a world confused over sexuality and gender? The answer is simple — amidst the moral chaos, embrace God's beautiful design for manhood and womanhood. Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss this subject with pastor Michael Clary. Clary's new book, God's Good Design, is a compelling call for men and women to reject the world's dark vision of sexual madness and fall in love with the way God made them. Today's young people are crying out for truthful answers of who they are, and this book gives an oasis of hope, explaining how God wonderfully creates each person as “male” or “female” (Gen. 1:27).

In our newest season, Lifegiving Parenthood, Cameron and Anna will unpack the I AM statements of Jesus in John's Gospel. They seek to answer the question: can raising kids be life-giving? By grasping the truth of who Jesus is, we can walk in greater confidence, joy, and peace as we raise our children. They unpack biblical terms like believe, trust, and life in order to establish a better understanding of what it does–and does not–mean to flourish as a Christian parent. Throughout it all, we'll see how trusting Jesus as our great I AM provides the strength and hope we parents need.  Jesus, Friend of Teenagers and Over-Functioning Parents by Melissa PowellMom Guilt and the Goodness of God by Brook PreusBasic Parenting Principles video course John 20:30-31John 10:10Galatians 5:22-23 Follow us @rootedministry!Subscribe to the Rooted Parent Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
