Podcasts about lose heart

This sermon is the final one in Tony's two part series from 2 Corinthians 4. One of the great dangers God's people face is the potential to "lose heart" and walk away from what Jesus has entrusted to us. How can we keep from losing heart?

Tony has just returned from his summer break and is bringing a couple of sermons from 2 Corinthians 4 to his church. He felt compelled to do this because while away he thought a lot about finishing the race well and what would be the "enemies" of finishing well. Paul highlights what might be the #1 enemy - "losing heart."

What does it look like to live on mission when life is difficult, discouraging, or just plain ordinary? In 2 Corinthians, Paul gives us four pictures of what it means to be sent by God—and four practices that help us keep going. Our weakness doesn't have to put God's mission on pause; it can become the very place where his power is seen most clearly.

Brent Gunning and Sam McKee kick off Friday morning by recapping the Blue Jays' heartbreaking extra-inning loss to the Cubs. The guys highlight Ernie Clement's outstanding catch, Dylan Cease's strong outing and Cy Young chances, the club's ongoing offensive struggles, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s extended rest, and Alejandro Kirk's four-hit game. They also discuss Louis Varland's recent dip in form and whether it's just a rough stretch or something more concerning. After the break, the conversation shifts to project which Toronto team is better positioned for next season: the Blue Jays or Maple Leafs? The boys wrap up this hour with a debate on the ideal hot dog toppings.

Islington Baptist is a church for the Islington and wider Newcastle community sharing the life-changing message of Jesus. Our sermon / Bible teaching is a central part of our gatherings.1 Samuel 23:1-141 When David was told, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are looting the threshing floors,” 2 he inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?”The Lord answered him, “Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”3 But David's men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”4 Once again David inquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered him, “Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand.” 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah. 6 (Now Abiathar son of Ahimelek had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)7 Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, and he said, “God has delivered him into my hands, for David has imprisoned himself by entering a town with gates and bars.” 8 And Saul called up all his forces for battle, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.9 When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.” 10 David said, “Lord, God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me. 11 Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me to him? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Lord, God of Israel, tell your servant.”And the Lord said, “He will.”12 Again David asked, “Will the citizens of Keilah surrender me and my men to Saul?”And the Lord said, “They will.”13 So David and his men, about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.14 David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands.

Because we're needy and God is ready to help, keep praying and don't lose heart, even if the answers take time.

Brother Frank Lee2 Corinthian 4:16

Strengthen your heart and renew your courage by fixing your gaze on the invisible truth you see in the testimony of those who saw Christ face to face.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 How do we keep from losing heart when life feels heavy? Renewed through pressure Refined through the struggle Refocus on the permanent 

Discouragement is not weakness. It is what happens when you lose heart. And it can happen to anyone. The word itself tells the story. Dis-courage. No courage. No heart. And whether it comes from exhaustion, unmet expectations, or a world that seems to be getting harder by the day, every person reading this has probably been there. Host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow talk about discouragement in this episode—what it is and how to respond to it. Discouragement is not despair—it is temporary, it can be addressed, and God speaks directly to it throughout Scripture. Joshua 1:9 says it plainly: Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. The question God asks in that verse implies something important—He expected us to become discouraged from time to time. So, what do you do with it? You check your expectations. You come with humility. You focus on what you actually control—which is your own obedience, your own heart, your own next step. You do what you can, where you are, with what you have, and you trust God with the rest. That is not giving up. That is faith. Listen in for a conversation that will meet you where you are and point you back to the One who never loses heart.

Text: 1 Corinthians 4:1-18By: Elder Gary DuffDate: 6/21/26

Is your to-do list overwhelming? Do you feel constant pressure to perform—at home, at work, even in your downtime? Sometimes it can feel like you're barely keeping up.Our culture pushes us to achieve, finish, and win—but what happens when it's all too much?In 2 Corinthians, we meet someone who knew that pressure firsthand. The apostle Paul faced expectations, criticism, and weakness—yet he discovered something surprising: God works most powerfully not through our strength, but through our weakness.When life hits hard, and hope feels thin, we have a treasure that can shine through the cracks.In God's Kingdom, pressure doesn't have the final word—hope does.Support the show

Send me a Text Message!In Nehemiah 4,  the people are half-way home, the wall is half-way rebuilt. But how many of us know that half-way home is sometimes the hardest place to be. Because half-way home, means we still have just as far to go as we've already gone. And if we aren't careful, we can begin to lose heart.Sometimes if we don't want to lose heart, we need to forget the rubble and remember God. I mean nobody wants to lose heart. We want to be renewed. We want to be strong, filled with hope. We know our stories have hard chapters, but we don't wan to lose heart. This episode will begin to talk about how we go through the hard times without losing heart!Don't lose heart!

Pastor David Strader - Sunday Morning - 03.22.2026

Your suffering doesn't disqualify your faith. It confirms it. You haven't been pushed off the path. You're on the path. The road home just runs through territory that doesn't yet recognize Jesus as King.

A sermon by Joe Byler based on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 preached on April 12th as part of our sermon series called "Glorious Weakness: Discovering Our Transformed Life In Christ."

A sermon by Ben Reynolds based on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 preached on April 12th as part of our sermon series called "Glorious Weakness: Discovering Our Transformed Life In Christ."

Main point: In 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, Paul uses three contrasts to teach us the value of essential spiritual realities so that we will not lose heart when experiencing affliction.

A sermon from Geoff Zeigler on Ephesians 3:1-13

Pastor Jeff focuses on the call not to lose heart, reminding us that our confidence rests in God's eternal purposes even in the midst of trials. He teaches from 2 Corinthians 4 that we are sustained by the gospel, which depends not on our strength but on God's power shown through our weakness. He explains that our choices matter, our witness is powerful because it proclaims Christ, our frailty serves a purpose in displaying God's power, and our suffering is only temporary in light of the sure resurrection. Ultimately, he urges us to live with bold faithfulness, remembering that present struggles produce eternal glory and that every act of obedience carries lasting significance.
