Send us a text"What are human beings that You think about them?"That's the question King David asks in Psalm 8—and it's a question many of us still wrestle with today. In a world that measures our worth by performance and perfection, Scripture tells a different story.In this episode of The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast, we explore the stunning truth that you were made not just to admire God's glory, but to reflect it. You were created with purpose, crowned with dignity, and entrusted with a calling—not because of what you've done, but because of who God is.Through the beauty of Psalm 8, we'll look at what it means to bear God's image, why your identity doesn't depend on your past, and how Jesus came to restore what sin tried to steal.You were made for glory. But the question is—what are you reflecting?Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Lecture six of a series on the 'Doctrine of Atonement', delivered by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop during the fall of 1979 at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Dr. Wynkoop was a remarkable voice in the Church of the Nazarene—a writer, pastor, missionary, and theologian whose influence still resonates today. Her most celebrated works are Foundations of Wesleyan-Arminian Theology and A Theology of Love: The Dynamic of Wesleyanism, both of which continue to shape contemporary Wesleyan thought. Her ministry journey spanned the globe and the academy. She pastored churches in California and Oregon, taught at George Fox Evangelical Seminary, and served as the founding president of Japan Nazarene Theological Seminary. She also taught in Taiwan before returning to the United States to serve as Professor of Theology at Trevecca Nazarene College (1966–1976) and later at Nazarene Theological Seminary (1976–1979). Throughout her century-long life and ministry, Dr. Wynkoop met Phineas Bresee, studied under H. Orton Wiley and Olive Winchester, and left a profound impact on generations of students and colleagues across four Nazarene institutions—having studied at Point Loma Nazarene University and Northwest Nazarene University, and having taught at Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary. *These recordings, captured initially in 1979, have been substantially restored. While Dr. Wynkoop's voice has been clarified, student questions during Q&A segments may be difficult to discern. Her responses, however, remain clear and impactful.*   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning

What was the influence of Buddhism on the preacher from Galilee? The lost years refers to the time in Jesus's life between his childhood and the beginning of his ministry, a period not described in the Gospels. Following the New Testament accounts of Jesus' young life, there is a gap of about 18 years in his story. The best known and most popular explanation for the Nazarene's hidden years, is by far, his supposed travels to India, Tibet and surrounding areas where he encountered Hinduism and the teachings of the Buddha. But is this story true? E110.

Jesus is the root the promised descendent of David, the “Branch,” the Nazarene. In contrast, Lucifer is an abhorred and discarded branch; he is not the Nazarene, the Branch. There can be only One Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews. The Beast will pretend to be the Messiah, but he is of a different kind and his father is the devil. Jesus is WARNING everyone to NOT BE FOOLED. Be ready, there is only one root, there is only one who is Shiloh, there is only one Messiah, there is only one “Branch,” the Lord Jesus Christ.Download Transcript

Send us a textOn Pentecost, the disciples were transformed from blabber mouths and doubters into bold, Spirit-filled witnesses. The fire came, the Spirit moved, and 3,000 people came to faith in one day.But what about us? In this bold and timely sermon, Pastor Nicole asks a powerful question: Are we still waiting for our Pentecost?We say we do not want to offend--but have we really surrendered to the Spirit who compels us to speak? Is fear holding us back... or is pride still in the driver's seat?This message invites us to stop waiting, start asking, and be filled again with the power to speak, love, and live the gospel with courage.Stop waiting. Start asking. Pentecost already came--and the fire is still available.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

The script at Casual Conversations has been flipped and Pastor Scott Wade goes from interviewer to interviewee.  Rev. Chris Shallenberger, Lead Pastor at New Life Community Church of the Nazarene in Monticello, IA is the new Evangelism Director with Momentum Ministries.  In this episode, Pastor Chris will be discussing with Pastor Scott the word “WORLD.”  It appears frequentlyin the Bible, but have you ever stopped to think about what it means? Does it always refer to humanity, or could it mean the planet, the sinful system, or something else entirely? Today, we're exploring the many facets of the word 'world' in Scripture and why its meaning matters for how we live and understand God's plan.

Send us a textHistoric References To Jesus Outside The Bible: It may be easy to say that you don't believe in the Bible and deny that Jesus ever lived. But it is very difficult to look past the historical references of the life of Jesus. It is even more impressive when you realize that not all of the quotes are from individuals that even liked the fact that He ever existed. Please consider the following evidence.We must remember in these quotations that when talking about Jesus the Christ, they are being discussed as knowable facts, without little explanation of the legitimacy of His life. As these events are so close to the source event, it was very well known as fact. They often reference other materials for the reader to go and verify the events spoken of in official government writings and histories. It is the modern day equivalent of us saying, “Go ahead and Google it!”As we read this, we are not looking for their alignment with scripture on every point. For example, many secular historians did not believe Jesus the Nazarene was the Messiah. So, they do not speak of Him as such. What we find is that they speak about Him at all. They clearly declare that Jesus lived and died, and that His life created the faith of Christianity. And that those who followed Him, continue to serve Him and obey His commands. In this, we can clearly and emphatically declare that Jesus was a noteworthy historical figure, which gained the attention of many government officials and their historians. Thus proving that Jesus is real and walked the earth.Watch The Podcasthttps://youtu.be/JVUVRVUGrGwWebsite:https://brotherlance.com/historical-references-of-jesus/New IntroSupport the showBecome A SupporterJOIN US!> Main Website: https://brotherlance.com/> Free Book: http://weshallbelikehim.com/> Free Music: https://brotherlance.com/brother-lance-music/> Social - Gab: https://gab.com/BrotherLance

Send us a textWhat does it mean when Jesus says, "I am coming soon"? For many, those words spark fear, uncertainty, or confusion. But in Revelation 22, they are not a threat--they are a promise. In this Ascension Sunday message, Pastor Jason explores how "soon" is less about clocks and more about certainty and readiness.With grace-fueled urgency and heartfelt honesty, we are invited to examine the condition of our hearts--not through fear, but through the cleansing work of Christ. The question is not when Jesus is coming...the question is: are we ready?Whether you are new to faith or feeling distant from it, this message offers hope, clarity, and a call to live like the King is returning--because He is.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

752 What Did You Go To The Wilderness to See?, A Guided Christian Meditation on Luke 7:24-26 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect wi h the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization. Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving jor anything tensing or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation Luke 7 NKJV 24 When the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings' courts. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. NIV 24 After John's messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. Meditation on Scripture: John the Baptist did not come to tell the people what they already expected or wanted to hear. He did not come in the way they expected. In some ways he was very surprising. He was dressed very hubly. They referred to him as a “Wild Man.” He had unique elements of life instituted by the Nazarene oath. He was set apart for a purpose. As he said, it was to make straight the path for the Lord, or to prepare the world for the coming of the Lord.  Due to the unexpected message he taught, he amassed a following that ended up being problematic for religious leaders at the time. Jesus makes the point to show, there was a reason that drew the people to John's message and that drew their hearts and minds to it when they heard it. As a result many more were ready to receive the Messiah.  God uses regular people to do his work. John the Baptist had a very specific calling. It was the work given to John by God that made that calling holy. God makes His work holy. Jesus did not truely need John the Baptist. There are many ways God could have done this but he chose John. Similarly God doesn't need us to do His work, but as we participate in His work, our efforts are made holy by Him. Just as John humbly submitted to Jesus when his work was done, so should we take the same mindset around what God has called us to. What has God called you to in life? How can you learn to hold your calling more humbly like John.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials. Summarize what insights you have gained during this meditation and meditate and visualize positive change in your life: This is a listener funded podcast at patreon.com/christianmeditationpodcast Final Question: If you consider the invitation and command to persevere in the faith, what change in your life does that bring to your mind?  FIND ME ON: Download my free app: Recenter with Christ Website - ChristianMeditationPodcast.com Voicemail - (602) 888-3795 Email: jared@christianmeditationpodcast.com Apple Podcasts - Christian Meditation Podcast Facebook.com/christianmeditationpodcast Youtube.com/christianmeditaitonpodcast Twitter - @ChristianMedPod

Send us a textWhat do you do when the story ends in sorrow? In this episode, we open a quiet and often overlooked passage in 1 Chronicles 7—a father named Ephraim mourns the loss of his sons. There's no tidy resolution, no Hallmark ending. Just grief… and a God who doesn't turn away from it.Through personal story and biblical reflection, we explore how God meets us in our brokenness and how His promises still hold—even when healing feels far off. If you're walking through pain, or loving someone who is, this message offers a gentle reminder: grief is not the end of the story.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472The Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

On today's episode, Michael chats it up with Kip Andersen. Kip is an award-winning filmmaker whose films include the Netflix blockbusters ‘Seaspiracy' and ‘What the Health,' which was co-executive produced with Joaquin Phoenix. He is also a certified Jivamukti and Kundalini yoga teacher, as well as the founder of AUM Films and Media, a non-profit organization that promotes awareness and equality for all life. Kip's most recent film, ‘Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret,' features a guest appearance by Michael and was co-executive produced with Leonardo DiCaprio. The film was purchased back from Netflix and can be seen online (see link below).  Highlights from Kip and Michael's provocative conversation include: -A deep dive into the film's central question: Is there a spiritual way to kill an animal? -Kip's sudden shift to veganism and how his ponderance of the ethical, environmental, and spiritual layers of eating animals inspired his trilogy of documentaries, culminating in ‘Christspiracy' -Kip discovering the Nazarene and Essene movements—early religious sects that were against temple animal sacrifices—of which Jesus and his brother James were a part  -Recounting Kip's shocking experiences filming ‘Christspiracy' and uncovering cultural coverups around animal treatment -Unpacking the true meaning of “dominion,” not as control over, but as caring for the Earth and all beings, including animals -Kip's decision to release ‘Christspiracy' independently and let viewers pay what they can, and more! Next, Michael leads a guided meditation with a high vibration of intention to wake up to our glorious nature. Catch up with Kip here: https://www.aumfilms.org/films-1 and on social media.
