Podcasts about love god

Today, on Karl and Crew, we recapped Karl’s adultery analogy in relation to the adulterous actions we commit against God. We then talked about the importance of repenting, returning to God, and letting go of the spiritual affairs in our lives. We then turned to the phone lines to hear how our listeners turned from their spiritual affairs and returned to God. We also had Ron and Jody Zappia join the conversation as they shared how, with God, they could salvage their relationship after infidelity. Ron is the Founding and Lead Pastor at Highpoint Church, a multi-site church in the Chicagoland area. He is also a sought-after conference speaker with a heart for evangelism and the local church. Ron and his wife also authored the book, “ The Marriage Knot: 7 Choices That Keep Couples Together.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is really the parable of two brothers: one who's ruled by unchecked desire, and the other who's ruled by legalism and pride. I think a lot of us can resonate with both brothers. We feel torn between what we want to do and what we ought to do. But God designed these two things to be united within us! Using this parable as a framework, my friend Heidi White joins me again to talk about how we can not only do what's right but also desire what's right ... and find true freedom and joy as a result. The Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life by Heidi White  Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery  Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe  Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen  The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni    On Strong Women, we celebrate God's good design for women in every season of life. It's all part of a bigger mission: to help the Church be the Church—by celebrating what's good, resisting what's evil, restoring what's broken, and creating what's missing. As we approach our June 30 fiscal year end, we need your help to keep that mission going. You can support the next year of Strong Women, as well as all the other resources from the Colson Center, by making your best gift today at colsoncenter.org/swchurch.  The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.

1 John is the basis of this episode. Krissy Bakke the hippie Christian recorded not just once but twice, cause when you love your listeners you try to shout them out and she forgot the first time. Listen and hear how we love cause God loves. It's short and while it is one perspective, no doubt you will come away with something good.

The call repeated throughout these chapters is simple but demanding: Love God, obey Him, and do the work. Easier said than done. Join us to see how David, our shepherd king, shows Israel exactly how to do it.Themes of this podcast:Legacy leadership: living for the next generation. David's final acts are less about finishing his own story and more about launching the future. His leadership shows that true greatness isn't about what you personally accomplish. It's about how well you prepare and position others to flourish and carry God's work forward when you're gone.Worship as the center of life. David's obsession with the Temple isn't about architecture—it's about anchoring the people's identity and future in worship. For David, worship is more than music or rituals; it's obedience, generosity, community, and a loving relationship with God and others. Worship is the way God's people flourish.True success isn't found in achievement but in wholehearted devotion. David's success as a shepherd-king stemmed from his pure heart that genuinely loved God. This allowed him to serve God with a willing mind because true obedience flows from love.Show Notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Join hosts Katy Reed Hodges, Luke Stehr, and special guest Dr. Dennis R. Wiles for an engaging conversation that weaves together summer stories, recent travels, and profound spiritual insights.The trio shares laughs and reflections on their summer adventures before diving into the heart of the episode – Dr. Wiles' thought-provoking Sunday sermon titled "Flourishing Foundation: Love God!" Dr. Wiles explores the fundamental questions of human existence: Who are we? Why are we here? He illuminates how God designed humans to flourish through loving relationship with Him, drawing from powerful passages in Hosea that remind us of the importance of faithfulness and acknowledgment of God.Listen as the conversation explores the three dimensions of our connection to the divine – heart as the center of our decision-making, mind as our thought and feeling center, and soul as our integrating principle. Whether you're seeking spiritual growth or simply enjoy heartfelt conversations about life's big questions, this episode offers both warmth and wisdom for your journey.

These times may feel weird, but all you have to do is pray, love, and focus. God will always make a way for you. Love God, yourself and the people in your life and cherish every moment because life is precious. ❤️

How Am I to Love God?

This week, Ari Medrano delivers a powerful testament to the depth and complexity of caregiving. As a Mexican immigrant who came to the United States at age one, Ari's approach to caregiving is deeply rooted in her family's values of service, love, and compassion. Throughout the episode, she shares multiple experiences of caregiving, including caring for her cousin with bone cancer, a homeless woman named Teresa, her brother who was a victim of a violent crime, and her mother during critical health challenges. Her caregiving journey is marked by a remarkable ability to love creatively and find joy even in the most challenging circumstances. Ari's approach goes beyond traditional caregiving, incorporating humor, sensory experiences (such as using specific scents to uplift spirits), and an unwavering commitment to supporting not only the patient but also the healthcare workers around them. Her personal experiences, including her health challenges like heart disease and a brain tumor, have shaped her perspective, allowing her to approach caregiving with empathy, resilience, and a profound understanding of both giving and receiving care. What stands out most about Ari is her philosophy of "givers gain" and her conviction that we can experience both pain and joy simultaneously. Her stories illustrate how caregiving is not just a duty, but a calling that requires creativity, emotional intelligence, and a deep capacity for love. Whether it was bringing Santa Claus to her mother's hospital room, providing comfort to a homeless woman, or supporting her brother through his challenging health journey, Ari embodies the true spirit of compassionate caregiving. About Ari: Ari Medrano is a Mexican immigrant who arrived in the USA as a one-year-old, the middle child in a family of five. Her parents have been married for 58 years. Ari's caregiving journey deepened when she moved from Texas to California to care for her mother and youngest brother, who both became ill simultaneously. She provided home hospice care for her brother in his final weeks, following his brutal injuries from a bank robbery. Concurrently, she cared for her mother in the hospital for six months; her mother is now at home, receiving care from all siblings. As a mother of two sons, Ari also acknowledges their caregiving role during her own extensive health battles, which included multiple tumors, heart disease, a brain tumor, and numerous surgeries. She refers to herself as an "Olympian patient" and serves as a go-to health advocate for her family, friends, and community. She is notably a "1% Medical Miracle" who regained full mobility after being paralyzed by a craniotomy for a brain tumor extraction. Ari's legacy is defined by her philosophy: "Love God, Love People...creatively."

In the final weekend of the We Believe series, Pastor Curt Taylor shared a powerful message titled "Love God, Love People", calling the church to live out its faith through action. He emphasized that love is not just a belief we hold, but a mission we carry—one that must reach beyond the church walls. Pastor Curt challenged Cherry Hills Community Church to be a tangible expression of Christ's love in the local community. He reminded us that when the church steps into places of need, hope is restored, and lives are transformed. This message is a great reminder to let God's love move through us into every corner of our city.

Last weekend we kicked off our series Branches and unpacked how we as humanity were intentionally created to live our purpose to Love God and Love People. We discovered that one of the best ways we can love God is by loving the image of God in one another. However, it doesn't take much to realize that humans aren't doing a great job of living out that purpose to love one another… right? Why is that? Join us this week as we continue unpacking the Genesis narrative and learn what went wrong in our quest to live out our communal purpose.

Buckle up my friends! This week we are diving into James chapter five and he ain't messing around anymore. He has some very specific thoughts about the rich, and specifically about how the rich have treated the less fortunate. But before you begin to think about how happy you might feel about the wealthy being “called out”, it might be worth considering how they got into the predicament they find themselves in. It also might be worth considering how I can avoid getting into the very same mindset myself. Spoiler Alert: One of the ways the rich can avoid becoming abusers of poor is through radical generosity, and by way of reminder this week is our Kick-starter Sunday across all campuses for the “One More Vision Initiative”. So come ready to sow into the future of our state! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus. We simply say, “helping others Love, Live, and Lead in Jesus".

The Bible doesn't tell us to like everyone, but we are commanded to love everyone. Here are just a few of the scriptures that make it clear: 1 John 4:21: And he has given us this command:  Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. 1 John 4:8: Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. Luke  6:32 & 35 Jesus said: Love your enemies. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. Leviticus 19:18: Love your neighbor as yourself. In fact, Jesus said there are two great and primary commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) and simply put, they are: Love God and love people. In fact, Jesus said all the commandments hang on these two; they are foundational to our faith. Easy to say, right? Love God, love people—but when you run into unlikable people, you feel like you've hit the spiritual brick wall. Since we cannot like them, we usually conclude we cannot love them either. Isn't it true that we just naturally think you have to like someone before you can love them? Like is the first step, the beginning of love. So how can you love someone you don't like? Part of the problem is that love has different definitions, and we sometimes get them confused. In the Bible we find three types of love in the original language. The first is Philo, which is the love we have toward friends, family, and others in our lives. Philo love is what Paul describes in Romans 12:10: Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Then there is Eros love, which is a more physical form of love. It's the kind of love shared between a husband and wife, hopefully accompanied by Philo love as well. Then there is Agape love, which is the unconditional love God has for you and me. Nothing you do can change how God loves you. Ephesians 2:4-5 describe this Agape love: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. This is love which loves because its own inherent nature is to love. That's why the Bible says, God is love (1 John 4:8). Love is his nature. The kind of love we need to love people we don't like is agape love. Now, agape love is not necessarily a feeling. We can love with agape love whether the feelings are present or absent, whether they are good or bad, whether this love is reciprocated or not. It is not based on feelings. Agape love is an action. That's how it's always described in Scripture. The Bible tells us we know God loves us because he sent his Son into the world to redeem us. We know Jesus loves us because he gave his life for us. The Bible says,  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends (John 15:13). And Jesus said that we know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands (1 Johnn 2:3). God's kind of love is an action, not a feeling. Now, that really is good news, because it means we can love people toward whom we do not necessarily have good feelings. You can love people toward whom you have no feelings at all. Since love is an action, you can obey God's command to love everyone. First Corinthians 13 is a good place to look for a practical description of love. A few of these are: Patience: When you act with patience toward someone, you are loving them. Keep in mind that love is not a feeling, so we don't have to feel patient. Can you remember acting with patience even when you did not feel patient? That is agape love. Kindness: When you feel like saying something sarcastic or cutting or angry, but instead you say something kind, that is a love action. Not Jealous: When you refuse to behave jealously or possessively, you are showing love. Has Good Manners: Just plain courtesy is a love action. How often we forget good manners, like not interrupting others when they're talking, letting others go ahead of us, etc.

This is a little bit how the book of James feels when reading it. James seems to be getting all up in our spiritual lives by challenging, and making us take a good hard look at how genuine faith should produce genuine fruit in the life of every believer! The heartbeat of Church on the Rock is to help people discover how they can LOVE God and LOVE one another, LIVE with passion, purpose and freedom, and LEAD others to this same experience in Jesus.

Send us a textA Lifestyle Post - Things I want My Kids To Know1.         Happiness is a lot of work. You can't be lazy or entitled to achieve it.2.        You will make mistakes, and they will only define you if you give it that kind of power. If the lesson is learned, the mistake is worth it. It's your choice whether or not it wins. You are not a prisoner to your past and you are allowed to grow.3.        The world owes you nothing. It does not care who you are, where you come from or what you think you deserve. Everything you achieve will have to come from your own dedication to what you love. It will not be handed to you easily.4.        People do not get to tell you who you are. Make peace with your own sould and give no one the power to tell you that you're something you're not. Know who you are and be okay when others do not understand you.5.        Work hard. Never go into anything with half your heart. Respect is earned by how you did the job and not the title by your name.6.        Show up your people. No matter what has happened, show up. That's what people will remember about you in the end of all of this.7.        Choose grace for others and for yourself. No one gets it right. You won't either. Bitterness is the anchor to the soul but grace sets you free.8.        Have fun. Be adventurous. None of us are getting out of this alive so make the time you have count with the people who actually matter.9.        Laugh in the good times and the bad. Your sense of humor and your ability to take a punch will set a strong foundation of stability.10.  Love God. He's the most consistent source of peace and truth you'll ever have.11.  Kindness is never wasted. Even when people don't return it, you'll always be proud of how you treated them.12.  Take care of your body and mind. You only get one of each, and they'll carry you farther than you know.13.  Comparison is poison. Run your race, not someone else's. Your story matters even if it doesn't look like theirs.14.  Know when to walk away. Not everything deserves your energy. Protect your peace.15.  Ask questions. Curiosity leads to growth. Be willing to admit you don't know everything and go find the answers.16.  Be honest, even when it's hard. Integrity isn't always easy, but it's always worth it.17.  Stand up for the underdog. You'll never regret being someone else's courage when they had none.18.  Keep showing up. The wins are great, but the growth is in the showing up—especially when it's hard.19.  Never stop learning. Books, people, places—everything has something to teach you.20.  Say 'I love you' often. And mean it. Life is short, and love is the most powerful legacy you'll ever leave.Support the show

Because God's Name represents Who He is and we are commanded to love God, we must love and honor His name, using it and wearing it with respect. I.

We Must Take Christ's Name Seriously in the Way We Wear It Before Others! 2 Tim 2:19b

How we see the world shapes how we feel, and transforms the way we live. Seeing how things were framed by James, the brother of Jesus, gives us a perspective that is meant to mature our faith. James points out that the struggle is real for us, but we also have an opportunity to experience great joy and gain endurance through troubled circumstances. James urges us to stay humble and hold loosely to our plans. Life is fast, so aligning our plans with God's will is essential in building a healthy framework for our lives. We can't wait to see what God has for each and every one of us in The Book of James.

  Understanding Christian Identity and the Power of Prayer based on the book of Ephesians and related scriptures. Key Themes: Gratitude and Thanksgiving: The importance of expressing thanks to God in all circumstances, recognizing the source of all blessings. Freedom and Sacrifice: Acknowledging the sacrifices made for earthly freedom and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus for spiritual freedom. Divine Health vs. Healing: A desire to live in continuous divine health rather than moving from one healing to the next. Standing on Truth and Fighting for Beliefs: The necessity of holding firm to God's word despite opposing thoughts, feelings, or circumstances. The Power of Giving Thanks (Eucharisto): Connecting the Greek word for thanksgiving to grace and joy, and highlighting Jesus' practice of giving thanks before miracles. God's Abundance and Compassion: Illustrated through the feeding of the multitude, emphasizing focusing on what is available rather than lack. Victory Over Death (Physical and Spiritual): Demonstrated through the resurrection of Lazarus and the understanding of Christ's power. The Significance of Communion: Remembering Jesus' sacrifice and giving thanks for the freedom and new covenant established through his body and blood. Raising the Next Generation: The importance of older believers supporting families and teaching children God's word. The Church at Ephesus as a Model: Examining a historically significant and initially strong church, noting its characteristics and eventual decline in "first love." Christian Identity in Christ: Focusing on the spiritual realities and blessings believers possess through their union with Jesus as described in Ephesians. The Power of Confession and Declaration: Using voice-activated faith to bring spiritual realities into physical manifestation. The Workmanship (Poema) of God: Seeing believers as God's perfect and complete creations in their spirit. Paul's Prayers in Ephesians: Highlighting specific prayers for enlightenment of understanding/imagination and comprehension of the love of God. The Power Working Within: Recognizing the resurrection power of Christ dwelling in believers. Most Important Ideas/Facts: Gratitude as a Core Principle: The speaker repeatedly emphasizes the centrality of thanksgiving in the Christian life. "Such a heart of gratitude today." This is presented as a key to accessing God's promises and experiencing his glory. "Eucharisto is the original Greek word used that means thanksgiving. In each instance, Christ offers thanksgiving before a miracle is performed." Gratitude is linked to glory and receiving things from God. Identity in Christ is Found in Scripture, Particularly Ephesians: The main focus of the latter part of the briefing is on understanding who believers are in Christ, drawing heavily from Ephesians. This identity is presented as a spiritual reality that needs to be accessed and lived out. Ephesians is described as the "most powerful book in the New Testament" for new Christians because it reveals "how God sees you. You see your identity. You see your authority. You see your position in heaven." The speaker highlights several aspects of this identity: Blessed with all spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3): "He has blessed us. It's done. It's past tense... Everything that Jesus died for is your spiritual inheritance. It's all there. It's in your spirit. We want to access it." This includes prosperity, peace, joy, deliverance, and healing. Chosen, Holy, and Blameless (Ephesians 1:4): "You're chosen. You're holy. You're blameless before the foundation of the world." This is God's perspective on believers, regardless of their current state. Adopted into God's Family (Ephesians 1:5): "This is aba daddy. He adopted you into his family... you had the same rights as every other child." Accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6): Using the Greek word "Charito," meaning highly favored or blessed by God, highlighting the same status as Mary. "You are God's beloved... God loves you not based on what you good thing you did or what bad thing you did. His love love is absolute and constant." Redeemed and Forgiven (Ephesians 1:7): Emphasizing that redemption and forgiveness are received through the blood of Jesus, not obedience, and are according to the "riches of his grace." Forgiveness is presented as continuous and covering all sins (past, present, future, omission). Obtained an Inheritance (Ephesians 1:11): "Your inheritance is everything Jesus did for you. The gifting, the anointing he put in you, his favor in your life, his desire to give you divine health." Sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13): The moment of salvation, where the Holy Spirit "vacuum-acked and sealed your spirit. Everything you ever need is already there." Raised Up and Seated in Heavenly Places with Christ (Ephesians 2:6): This position signifies being "seated above all powers, principalities, and spirits of darkness," leading to an identity that is "invincible," "more than a conqueror," and an "overcomer," not a victim. God's Workmanship (Poema) (Ephesians 2:10): Believers are the "masterpiece of God's creation," seen by God as "perfect, complete, lacking nothing" in their spirit. Possessing the Fullness of Christ (Colossians 2, referenced): The reality that "the fullness of Christ is already in you," meaning "Onethird of you is Jesus. Jesus and the Holy Ghost living within you." Accessing Spiritual Realities through Faith and Confession: The gap between the spiritual realities of identity in Christ and the believer's experience is bridged through renewing the mind with God's word and speaking declarations based on faith. "Now, the rest of our life is trying to activate everything God deposited inside of you. Getting your mind into agreement with your spirit. How do you do that? Well, you renew it by God's word." "Getting your body under submission. These are things that God wants us to do." "Faith is voice activated." Confessing "I am blessed" or reciting identity statements brings them to life. Philemon 1:6 is highlighted: "that the communication the expression the way you speak about your faith may become affected that word is powerful dynamic transformative by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus". The Power of the Resurrection Working Within Believers: The same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in believers, enabling them to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we think or ask (and imagine)." This power is connected to operating in Christian identity and fulfilling God's purpose. Overcoming Negativity and Focusing on Truth: The speaker shares personal anecdotes about battling negative diagnoses and thoughts, emphasizing the importance of not repeating them and instead focusing on God's word and promises. "You go to the doctors... they start throwing out all these diagnosis, and you just don't want to let them stick. See what I'm saying? You don't repeat them. You don't own them. You acknowledge something, but you don't let it stick." Martha's focus on the "lack" (Lazarus stinking) when standing before Jesus is used as an example of negative focus to avoid. The media and the world are described as "very dark stuff" and "very evil," contrasting with the truth of God's word. The Purpose of the Body of Christ and Ministry: The church community is essential for support, teaching the next generation, and helping believers overcome difficulties through prayer and prophetic gifts. The example of older women giving moms a break to teach children is mentioned. When individuals are struggling, "you need help from another Christian to pray you through." This is a purpose of the body of Christ "to lift you out of that problem and bring you into freedom." Prophetic gifts are seen as having the purpose "to set you free and to set you back on track for what God's doing." The Nature of God's Love: God's love is described as absolute, constant, and not dependent on human performance. It is a love that "lavishes" itself on believers, seeing them as beloved as much as Jesus. This love is both theological and experiential. Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 is to comprehend "the width and length and depth and height of the love of God." Experiencing God's love through salvation, healing, deliverance, etc., leads to thankfulness. Conclusion: The message strongly emphasizes that Christian identity is not based on performance but on what God has already accomplished and deposited in believers through Jesus Christ. This identity, described in detail using passages from Ephesians, includes being blessed, chosen, holy, blameless, adopted, accepted, redeemed, forgiven, possessing an inheritance, sealed by the Holy Spirit, seated with Christ, and being God's masterpiece. Accessing and experiencing these spiritual realities is achieved through renewing the mind with God's word, speaking declarations of faith, and cultivating a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. The power of God, specifically the resurrection power, resides within believers, enabling them to overcome challenges and fulfill God's purposes. The church community plays a vital role in supporting believers in this journey.
