In this episode of School of Divine Mysteries, Aba Al-Sadiq (FHIP) sits down with his former Catholic disciple, Tiffany, to explore one of the most mysterious and debated events in religious history—the last days of Mary, known as the Assumption. Diving deep into apocryphal scriptures and even Islamic narrations, Aba Al-Sadiq (FHIP) masterfully uncovers the truth of Mary's final moments on Earth. But beyond that, he reveals profound secrets hidden between the lines—secrets that have remained obscured for centuries. What truly happened to Mary? Why do so many traditions point to her being lifted to the heavens, just like Jesus? And what deeper mysteries lie beneath the surface of these ancient accounts? Join us as we uncover the shocking truth about the Assumption of Mary—and the esoteric knowledge it unlocks.

Join us as Robin uses the example of Mary to show the beauty of motherhood, the power of our devotion to God, and the ability we have to impact God's heart.

By Leif Kareliusson - We'll cover some of the characteristics of Mary the mother of Jesus and how she was a positive role model for us all.

TODAY'S TREASURESo the soldiers did these things, but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. John 19:23-27Send us a comment!Support the show

God chooses you at the level of your heart posture. In a sermon entitled, How To Be Chosen, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell explores what it truly means to be "chosen" by God, using the story of Mary as a profound example. He challenges listeners to embrace humility, break free from pride and societal expectations, and fully submit to God's calling in their lives—reminding us that destiny often favors the unlikely and overlooked.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

This Sunday we conclude our sermon series on the life of Mary by looking at the amazing, incredible, unforeseeable place Mary came to at the end of her life. Now, suddenly, so much that made no sense in her life finally did. And from this we learn another really important lesson for our lives.

When someone you care about is in pain, have you ever found yourself wondering what to do, how to help them, and what to say? This Sunday we'll study a passage that describes Mary's dramatic encounter with Jesus on the cross. We'll learn a beautiful lesson from Mary about how we can help others who are in pain. This is the fourth installment in our sermon series on the life of the Mary, “From the Cradle to the Grave.”

This Sunday Pastor Jeff continues our sermon series “From the Cradle to the Grave: Lessons from the Life of Mary.” The passage we'll study contains a particularly poignant lesson for us as we approach the New Year and reflect on how to make the most of whatever adversity we currently face. Start the New Year right by making time for worship and reflection this Sunday morning at our usual worship times – 9:15 and 11:00 am.

This Sunday – Christmas Eve – Pastor Jeff resumes our sermon series called “From the Cradle to the Grave: Lessons from the Life of Mary.” We'll be studying a part of the Christmas story where Mary learned a profound lesson that's powerfully relevant to each of us today. Our Sunday morning services will be at the usual time – 9:15 am and 11:00 am. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season. Make time for worship on this sacred weekend!

In the first of two Christmas episodes, Helen and Dave take another look at arguably the "best-known and least-known" woman in history: Mary, the mother of Jesus. Our guest, the fantastic James Tabor, collects the few breadcrumbs of information about Mary in the New Testament and weaves together a compelling narrative about a Jewish matriarch at the center of the Jesus movement. James Tabor's latest book, The Lost Mary: How the Jewish Mother of Jesus Became the Virgin Mother of God, will be published in 2025 (the French version is available now!). More on Mary from Bible Odyssey:Mary, the Mother of JesusPortraits of Mary in the GospelsVirgin Birth and What It MeansJoin the Time Travelers Club!Support the podcast and get special perks like bonus content and the ability ask your questions on air.

This Sunday we continue our new sermon series “From the Cradle to the Grave: Lessons from the Life of Mary.” In this second installment, we'll explore a POWERFULLY UPLIFTING LESSON we can learn from the incredibly difficult circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus.

Besides Jesus, Mary is the probably the greatest hero in the Bible. After all, through her we were given the gift of God's only Son. So it's about time we did an entire sermon series on the life of Mary. So throughout this Christmas season and beyond, Pastor Jeff will lead us through a new sermon series called “From the Cradle to the Grave: Lessons from the Life of Mary.” We'll begin this Sunday with a careful study of the only passage in the Bible where Mary speaks extensively in the first person. In her words, we will discover the secret to her greatness.

Summer Bible Study: Part 2- Finishing Week 1- Mary, Mother of Jesus, A Woman of Authority   (Continued from Yesterday) Today we look at some of the principles and methods that we used in this first week of the She Hears devotional content.    How we approach the Scriptures matters.  Understanding what we read is more important than the amount we read.  When we take the time to read with intention and understand the scriptures, it can be life-changing.     Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be. Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

Summer Bible Study: Everything Jesus does is intentional- A Devotional Look at Mary, Mother of Jesus   Today we look at Mary's example of how to handle the seasons when God asks us to lay something down.  Her example of faith helps us to surrender to what Jesus is calling us to lay down in our own lives.   Everything Jesus does is intentional.  He doesn't react, He responds.   From today's episode:   Heart Check: Is there an area of your life that you are hesitant to bring to Jesus?  Or when you do, it's accompanied by a justification or explanation of why you are feeling the way you do?

I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

Questions Covered: 30:09 – I thought Mary visited Elizabeth to learn about childbirth. Is this true? 32:58 – Why were Mary and Joseph surprised at Jesus’ comment about being in his Father's house after they lost him? 42:23 – I was taught that the visit to Elizabeth was typological to David dancing in front of the Arch of the Covenant. Can you expound on that? 44:16 – Can you explain the timeline of Joseph and Mary's betrothal? Was it before, during, after the Visitation? 49:32 – Would Simeon at the Presentation have remembered that this was the Mary that was pregnant outside of marriage and Joseph almost divorced? …

Mary's path to motherhood was not what she had planned, but God had something much better in store for her life. What she went through as the mother of Jesus serves as an example to moms wanting to raise world-changing kids. We can learn many lessons from Mary, and in this sermon, we hear some words of encouragement you can apply to your life today.

Mary, Mother of Jesus by Sonrise Church

Stephanie invites us to  join her for a cup of Christmas tea alongside Mary the mother of Jesus. Let us ponder her life and legacy. Starting at he Annunciation (when the Angel told her the news of Jesus' impending arrival!), she lived a journey to faith, of faith, and in faith. How can we emulate this hero of our faith?  Her journey to faith is marked with reasonable questions, born of ignorance. We are so grateful God does not condemn us for ignorance! Unlike Zaechariah, Mary didn't exhibit unbelief--only ignorance. She chose to embrace that which she may not completely understand, though she tried to understand as much as she could. This role-models a healthy balance of faith and knowledge!  Her journey of faith is marked with a deep rooting in Scripture, and flavored with deep joy and profound astonishment at being a part of God's plan--again, something we are invited to emulate! When was the last time you were astonished to be a Christian? We are called to daily rejoice that we are part of the Body of Christ. Joyful disbelief is the trademark of the grateful heart in Christ. Her journey in faith involves a movement from her intellect to her heart and emotions. She chooses painful grace in surrender. Jesus offers to incarnate in our lives too. How can He be born in you and in me today? What does Mary teach us about surrendering and inviting the Son to be born in our lives? Finally, Mary ponders all manner of things --events, people, Scripture, her Son's life, as well as her own practicaly daily life too. In doing so, she invites us to the same.  The message of Christmas is at the very least that God has come to dwell with you and with me--within, indeed. Let us rejoice, give Him glory, and delight in Him today and forever!

The Virgin Mary, who served as the mother of Jesus on Earth, is known for her spiritual maturity. She inspires many people through her example of faith and trust in God. In art, Mother Mary is often portrayed as a fully grown woman. But how old was Mary when she had Jesus, really? She was young… very young.
