Podcasts about losing heart

Consecrated Sisters @ Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Assuit, Egypt ~ July 14, 2024

Various metaphors have been used to describe the Christian life. Some see it as a war to be fought, others as a party to be enjoyed, others as a task to be completed, and still others as a race to be run. The writer of Hebrews chooses the race metaphor.

In the second part of this message, we see that we can lose heart when we feel like we are not seeing any results in life. We can also lose heart when we are depending on our own resources or when we lose sight that God has a plan. Turning our eyes toward Jesus can restore our hearts.

You don't know what you have until it's gone. Keeping our heart as believers is key to our Christian faith. In Part 1 of losing heart, we see that we can lose heart if we forget the promise that the Lord will return.

When difficult situations arise, one of the biggest problems people face is discouragement. We pray expecting life to go our way. Then, when it doesn't, we struggle with our disappointment. After several of these experiences, we can be tempted to lose heart and quit. When people do what is right in their own eyes and justify their actions towards others as good, God exposes their hearts. While people may believe what they do is justified, God doesn't always see it that way. He judges the heart. Have you lost heart? Are you tempted to do things your way?

We've all experienced dark nights of the soul. We know what it feels like to swim in the waters and despair and want to give up on evangelizing a child, leading a ministry, or even progressing in the Christian life. Paul was no stranger to this reality. So what do we do when we feel the sense of losing heart creeping upon us? We can take the same path Paul took in holding firm to the glorious descriptions of Jesus found in Scripture. We realize that our lives are lived out before two audiences. First, we live in front of God our Father and Sustainer. Second, our lives are lived in front of the people around us. Chuck Baggett and John Snyder focus on 2 Corinthians 4 in this week's episode and seek to show how God helps His children who are despairing in all situations.

Servants Meeting @ St. Philopateer Mercurius Coptic Orthodox Church - Palm Harbor, FL ~ October 16, 2022

You may be feeling like you have LOST HEART.  You certainly have good reason.  Our OUTER SELF is wasting away.  The non-soul part of us falling apart, made out of clay, afflicted, perplexed and struck down. But wait! Those are also the very ingredients that can  be used to look past them into the eternal so that we are RENEWED. The same circumstance that could possibly lead to us LOSING HEART can also be the same circumstances that can PREPARE us for eternity. When all is washed away, what is left?Paul points to difficult times HELPING to point us toward hope in being raised like Jesus and in being with Jesus.  Thank you Lord for difficult circumstances?!?!?! Exactly.Let this podcast help anchor your daily, perhaps morning, renewal. May it HELP YOU prepare you to do the right thing with circumstances that otherwise could cause you to LOSE HEART.  Anchor your effort by going to bewithme.us or apple podcasts to subscribe for a daily encouragement .  

Jesus' parable of the persistent widow still hits close to home: a world where those in need are ignored by those in power, where those in power are unjust, and where the marginalized and oppressed must wear themselves out just to be heard. In a world like this, we recognize the struggle: how do we “break the mold” of the normal, everyday ways we are conditioned to accommodate injustice, creating little opportunities for change to take root, without losing heart?

Rev. David A. Davis preaches on Luke 18:1-8. October 16, 2022.

Have you ever felt discouraged in prayer, that no one is listening? What can we learn from the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8? How we pray is formed by what we believe about God and ourselves. Bishop Ken Ross reminds us of key truths so that we can pray and not lose heart.

(Not) Losing Heart Luke 18:1-8 10/16/2022 Rev. Alan Brehm PhD Hickman Presbyterian Church

Ephesians 3:13-21

Any serious attempt that we undertake to walk with those in need will take an inevitable toll on our hearts, and medical missions is an extreme example of this phenomenon. The magnitude of need and tragedy can leave us wondering where God’s light is shining in the midst of the darkness. This session will use clinical stories that pose certain challenges to our hearts in order to find ways to remain faithful to God’s will and remember his promises in the midst of otherwise overwhelming need.

In a day when people are losing heart, a message of hope could be a timely and welcome relief. Especially if you're on the verge of giving up, falling apart, or burning out -- or you know someone who is. It may seem like our circumstances are unprecedented, but history says not. Case in point: the Apostle Paul. He could have lost heart in his crazy world but he didn't. And his story still speaks into our story today.

A new MP3 sermon from King's Reformed Presbyterian Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Those who persevere in doing good without losing heart will be rewarded in time Speaker: Pastor Asgar Hamid Broadcaster: King's Reformed Presbyterian Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 8/21/2022 Bible: Galatians 6:9; Galatians 6:10 Length: 42 min.

The journey of faith is a tough one. At times we can feel despair and hopelessness. In the Bible this is described as "losing heart." Have you ever felt that way about our world? About upcoming generations? Your own challenges in life? Join us for some heart-lifting encouragement and a glimpse into the life of praise. Read Psalm 118, 2 Corinthians 4:7-18.

Daniel's faithfulness to fast and pray for the well being of God's people should be a huge encouragement to all Christians today. Let us always pray and never lose heart! You can watch the message here.

Stand Firm in Your Freedom The Harvest Principle, Part 2 Galatians 6:7-10 (AMP) – [7] Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. [8] For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. [9] And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint. [10] So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good [morally] to all people [not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage]. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith [those who belong to God's family with you, the believers]. I. Two Universal Spiritual Principles A. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. B. Do not be deceived: A man reaps what he sows. 1. The principle of sowing and reaping is a universal spiritual law that holds true in every context. 2. The principle of sowing and reaping can apply either in a positive or a negative way. a. Sow to please the sinful nature and you will reap destruction. b. Sow to please the Spirit and you will reap abundant life and eternal life. II. Three Exhortations for Doing Good A. Do not become WEARY in doing good. 1. Weary (ekkakeo) means “to be weak, to fail in heart; to be utterly spiritless, to be wearied out, exhausted; to lack courage, to lose heart, to be fainthearted.” (Ephesians 3:13; 2 Corinthians 4:1) Ephesians 3:13 (NIV) – [13] I ask you, therefore, not to be DISCOURAGED because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory. 2 Corinthians 4:1 (NIV) – [1] Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not LOSE HEART. 2. Good (kalos) means “beautiful, magnificent; good, excellent in its nature and characteristics, and therefore well adapted to its ends; beautiful by reason of purity of heart and life; praiseworthy; morally good, noble, honorable.” B. We will reap a HARVEST at the proper time if we do not give up. 1. The promise is that we will be rewarded for our faithfulness. (Matthew 25:21; 1 Corinthians 3:11-15) Matthew 25:21 (NIV) – [21] “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!’” 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (NIV) – [11] For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, [13] his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. [14] If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. [15] If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. 2. There are two qualifiers for reaping a harvest: a. The first is that we will reap a harvest at the PROPER TIME. b. The second is that we will reap a harvest if we DO NOT GIVE UP. 1) Give up (ekluo) means “to loose or unloose as a bowstring; to weaken, to relax, to exhaust; to have one’s strength relaxed, to become feeble through exhaustion; to grow weak, to grow weary, to be tired out; to become despondent.” (Matthew 15:32; Hebrews 12:3) Matthew 15:32 (AMP) – [32] Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, I have pity and sympathy and am deeply moved for the crowd, because they have been with Me now three days and they have nothing [at all left] to eat; and I am not willing to send them away hungry, lest they FAINT or become EXHAUSTED on the way. Hebrews 12:3 (AMP) – [3] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that you may not grow WEARY or EXHAUSTED, LOSING HEART and RELAXING and FAINTING in your minds. 2) We cannot give into the temptation to coast or to let down our guard or to become complacent and apathetic. C. Therefore, let us take every OPPORTUNITY to good to all people, especially other Christians. 1. Because we know that all good that we do will be rewarded by God, then we should be encouraged to continue to take advantage of every opportunity to do good to all people. 2. A person is to provide for the needs of his own household first before he meets the needs of others. (1 Timothy 5:8) 1 Timothy 5:8 (NIV) – [8] If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 3. In the same way, while we are to be willing to help anyone in need, the priority must first be for those who are fellow believers. (Romans 12:13; 3 John 5-8) Romans 12:13 (NIV) – [13] Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 3 John 5-8 (NIV) – [5] Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers, even though they are strangers to you. [6] They have told the church about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. [7] It was for the sake of the Name that they went out, receiving no help from the pagans. [8] We ought therefore to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth.
