Podcasts about moral perfection

Perfection, as an issue, is a non-starter. It is classed as the same type of thing as a utopia, which is interesting because imperfect beings cannot possess a perfect community nor can an imperfect place house morally perfect beings. We cannot have one without the other, and so we have resigned ourselves, prematurely, to having neither. Prematurely is the key word, in the sentence above.

A message from Pastor Chris Jackson. Delivered on 15 February 2026 at Hope City Church.Song used: https://pixabay.com/music/beats-lo-fi-chillhop-beat-background-music-133473/

In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned. Essential listening for anyone who wonders, “How can I ever be right with a holy God?”Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

The record of Jesus' answer to a Pharisee's question highlights Jesus' emphasis for Moral Perfection in our lives. Jesus would not have taught that we should keep the law and achieve moral perfection if He didn't believe we could do it. Jesus taught we could achieve total consecration to God.  For more study, see: “What Jesus Taught About Doing Right and Wrong,” by Trent Wilde  https://www.bdsda.com/what-jesus-taught-about-doing-right-and-wrong/ And, Jesus Taught Practical Morality - "Keep the Commandments" https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/35061000 2025 Sabbath School, “Entire Consecration = Moral Perfection” A Branch Davidian Seventh-Day Adventist perspective on the Sabbath School lesson.  www.bdsda.com  Email us at SabbathSchool@bdsda.com for comments and study requests.  

What is our moral potential according to Jesus? In Mark 10:17-20, Jesus tells His disciples that moral perfection is necessary in order to receive everlasting life, and that although this is impossible with man, moral perfection is possible with God's help.

Greatness requires self-improvement and a whole lot of striving!'The Autobiography' by Benjamin Franklin are reflections on his life plus notable letters/publications he made. It roughly follows him from childhood to his business dealings in Philadelphia and work as a diplomat in England/France. It's not standard as he skips large events (like America gaining independence) but does give insights into his various professions, philosophy, science, war and money making ventures.I summarised the book as follows. "It's self aggrandising but shows who he was, which is a rascal/funny/kind/industrious/entrepreneurial man. What he achieved was amazing but how he did it is much more impressive. Easily is in my top 10 people to emulate and if you want to learn to be a better person it's hard to look elsewhere."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Franklin humorously wanted to attain moral perfection. To do this he listed virtues, ordered his day, and self-examined his progress. He also wrote a prayer and a creed. Did he get it right?
