Podcasts about obeying god

The first of the Ten Commandments states, "You shall have no other gods before me." Each of us experience the temptation to "worship idols" in our own lives any time that we feel the urge to heed the commands or expectations of the world. God should be the center of our attention and concern—not empty appeals of celebrities, political figures, or other worldly figures. We belong to Christ and are called to reject empty priorities and follow God's ways and commands. Under the threat of death, Peter and the Apostles said: "We must obey God rather than men." Inspired by their courage and example, may we reject the untruths and empty promises of the world. Instead, may we follow God's ways and the Joy of the Gospel, no matter the cost.

The apostles' keep preaching the same message; of Jesus crucified at the hands of sinful men and then raised to life for their salvation by faith. Their witness of believing the gospel message they are teaching is impacting their entire community, and it's challenging many of the people who feel threatened by it. Christians today are to remember their allegiance and obedience to the Lord comes above all others. 

Obeying God - Miranda Myers 5-24-26

Pastor Brie shares a sermon about Obeying God as part of the series "With God, with each other"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get your Hosea Scripture Journal now. Our shout-out today goes to Jeffrey Nelson from Mooresville, NC. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Our text today is Hosea 1:3. So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. — Hosea 1:3 Hosea doesn't argue. He doesn't delay. He doesn't negotiate the terms. He simply obeys. "So he went and took Gomer…" That short phrase reveals something powerful about Hosea's character. When God spoke, Hosea acted. Even though the assignment was painful. Even though it would affect his reputation. Even though the cost would follow him for years. Hosea marries Gomer, the woman God told him to take as his wife. And just like that, the prophet's life becomes the message. The marriage itself would be difficult, but God was revealing something deeper through it. Hosea's faithful love for an unfaithful wife would mirror God's covenant love for a people who continually turned away from him. Throughout the Bible, marriage often reflects the covenant relationship between God and his people. The prophets described Israel as God's bride. Later, the New Testament describes the church as the bride of Christ. Marriage is meant to reflect covenant faithfulness. That's why Israel's idolatry was so serious. It wasn't just disobedience—it was betrayal. The people who belonged to God were giving their hearts to other gods. Hosea's obedience allowed the nation to see this truth in a way they could not ignore. Sometimes God asks his people to obey in ways that stretch their comfort and challenge their understanding. Obedience may cost time, reputation, relationships, or personal plans. But faithful obedience always begins the same way. God speaks. And we respond. So today, consider this: is there an area where God has already made his will clear, but hesitation or fear has kept you from acting? Faith grows when obedience moves from intention to action. Take one step today toward doing what you already know God has called you to do. DO THIS: Identify one clear step of obedience God has already placed in front of you—and take that step today without delay. ASK THIS: Where in your life might God be asking for obedience right now? What fears or concerns sometimes keep you from acting on what God has already made clear? How might your obedience influence the people around you? PRAY THIS: Father, give me the courage to obey you even when obedience feels costly or uncomfortable. Help my life reflect faithfulness to you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Trust and Obey"

The message on the Four Spiritual Laws emphasized becoming more like Jesus in daily life. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch because they reflected Christ in their actions. True transformation begins within and is expressed outwardly. The acronym “GROW” was shared as a guide: Going to God in prayer daily, Reading the Bible through Sunday messages, the Gospels, and quiet time, Obeying God moment by moment, and Witnessing through one's life. Spiritual growth is intentional and consistent, and by practicing these habits, believers can genuinely reflect Jesus and influence others through both their character and actions.

Scripture shows us that God rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6, KJV). But what does that actually look like in everyday life? This devotional breaks down the difference between passive faith and active pursuit—and why diligence is the key to living a faithful, fruitful, and obedient life. You'll discover: ✔ What biblical diligence truly means (and why it matters) ✔ Why passivity leads to spiritual drift—and how to avoid it ✔ How diligence impacts your prayer life, work, and relationships ✔ The connection between diligence, favor, and long-term fruitfulness ✔ Why obedience flows from grace—not performance From the Garden of Eden to the early church, diligence has always been required to walk in obedience to God. And ultimately, Jesus Himself modeled perfect diligence—learning obedience through what He suffered. "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." —Hebrews 11:6

Obeying God, but still in a storm?

Obeying God above men infuriates the world but brings the greatest blessing. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.

Peter says that the apostles must obey God rather than men, in response to the religious leaders call to stop speaking about Jesus. What does he mean, and when does this apply? Support the showVisit us at intheway.org or stjohnspembroke.ca.

On my desk is a memo board of reminders. Pinned on it is a list, “10 Habits for Great Health” that I cut out of a nutrition magazine years ago. Recently, I was stunned that even though I see this list every day, I could only remember four items. The list was such a familiar part of my daily surroundings that I’d glance at it without really seeing it or following what it said. James describes something similar in the attitude of many believers toward the Scriptures: “Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and . . . goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like” (James 1:23-24). Many followers of Christ are aware of what the Bible says. However, we may “merely listen to the word” (v. 22), but the extent to which we submit to it ends there. In this way, we deceive ourselves about the power and authority of Scripture, failing to see it as providing the “perfect law that gives [us] freedom” (v. 25). James tells us to be “doers of the word” (v. 22 NASB). We’re to look “intently into” Scripture and to “[continue] in it” (v. 25), to keep doing “what it says” (v. 22). Obeying God should be not just something we do, but flow from who we are. By His strength, we can live out His Word in our world.

In this final episode of this mini-series, we discuss ten rules for fighting against Satan's devices.Walk by the Rule of the Word of God. Make the Bible your guide and authority. Obeying God's Word keeps you in the safest path, while abandoning it opens the door to Satan's devices.Beware of Grieving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who helps you discern Satan's snares and gives strength to escape them. Vexing the Spirit removes your best defense.Labor for More Heavenly Wisdom. Knowledge is not enough; you need wisdom to apply that knowledge. Wise Christians see and avoid traps that trap the unthinking.Resist Satan's First Motions. Do not dally with temptation. It is safe to resist immediately but dangerous to debate with sin. Eve debated and fell; Job resisted and stood.Labor to Be Filled with the Spirit. Satan is a powerful spirit, so you need the greater power of the Holy Spirit to be filled in your heart, not just in your head.Keep Humble. A humble heart is difficult to tempt. As low shrubs are protected from strong gusts that tear down tall trees, humility protects you from prideful pitfalls.Keep a Constant Watch. A sleepy soul is an ensnared soul. Diligently watch your heart and actions, both from within and from without, to ensure you are not caught off guard.Continue Your Communion with God. A soul close to God is not easily conquered. Commune with God to gain the strength to fight, even when heavily tempted.Do Not Engage Satan in Your Own Strength. Lean entirely upon Christ and his power, rather than your own past experiences, graces, or duties.Be Much in Prayer. Prayer is a shelter for your soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to the devil. It is the method of escape when other ways seem blocked.Need more help fighting sin and temptation? Get our resource Surviving the Trenches.

Send us Fan Mail          Due to king Saul's disobedience in not wiping out Amalec and the amalekites completely from the face of the earth (1 Samuel 15), Israel will have to face their nemesis again in the days of Esther and Mordecai. God was displeased for what the amalekites did to Israel in a time of transition and relocation after being enslaved by the egipcians for more than 400 years. In Exodus and Deuteronomy, God declared that the day of the amalekites destruction was inevitable. Lesson to be learned is the following: Obeying God partially will affect and hinder our path towards the future. That is why is it important to obey God to the fullest so that we don't have to deal with unsettle accounts in the future.

What does obedience to God actually look like in everyday life? Is it about rules, religion, or something deeper? In Episode 6 of Meeting Jesus: God With Us, we explore what true biblical obedience looks like and how it transforms the way we think, speak, and live. Using key Scriptures like John 14:15, Luke 9:23, James 1:22, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Ephesians 4:29, this episode covers: • Why obedience is a response to love, not a way to earn salvation • How obedience shows up in your daily decisions • Obeying God in your thoughts, words, and actions • What obedience looks like in difficult situations • Why obedience leads to spiritual growth and transformation • How to stay consistent even when it's hard Obedience is not about perfection—it's about surrender and direction. It's how your faith becomes visible and how your relationship with Jesus deepens. If you've ever wondered how to live out your faith in real life, this episode will give you a clear and practical framework rooted in Scripture.

Episode Notes On the 25 of September, 1968, Phil Masters and Stan Dale were trekking through the Seng Valley in what is now Papua, Indonesia, attempting to spread the gospel to the Yali people. As their families waited for a scheduled report about their progress, they learned that a band of Yali warriors had misunderstood the men's attempt to greet them as an act of aggression. In a narrow gorge, a hail of arrows propelled the two men into the presence of the Lord. Eight years ago we released a conversation on YouTube with Phil Masters' wife, Phyllis, and their daughter, Crissie. In honor of Women's History Month, we re-release the audio from that conversation here so that you may hear the powerful story of how God worked in their lives following those harrowing events. https://us.worldteam.org/go Find out more at https://rewritten.pinecast.co

The Bible account is clear: God gave the Law to the Israelites because they did not obey His voice. That's amazing! But what's more amazing is that God's disciples this very day can know His voice by simply reading the Bible. Then they can obey that. And there's nowhere where and when God's voice is more clear than when Jesus personally commissioned all His disciples, then and now, to go forth and make more disciples! Join Kevin as we dive into the intimate awesomeness of obeying God's voice! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

Thought to share? Send me a text...If someone described you as “obedient,” would you feel proud or offended? That single word can carry a lot of history, especially when you've seen obedience used as control or when independence feels like the highest good. Today we slow down in Nehemiah 8:13-18 and watch a community do something rare: they hear God's Word, discover a long-neglected command, and respond right away, even though it is inconvenient and uncomfortable. And somehow, their obedience leads to great joy.We walk through a simple four-question Bible study method you can use anytime you feel stuck when reading the Bible: what the passage says about God and people, what stands out or confuses you, what to obey or follow, and how to apply it right now. We also name the motives that often drive behavior: fear-based obedience, reward-based, duty-based, and the kind that transforms everything, love-based obedience. The goal is not rule-keeping for its own sake, but a life shaped by relationship with God, where remembering his faithfulness fuels gratitude, and gratitude makes obedience a chosen, joy-filled response.

In this conversation, Dwayne Roberts explores the concept of purpose from a biblical perspective, emphasizing its importance in the lives of men. He discusses how understanding one's purpose can lead to a more fulfilling life, aligning with God's design. The conversation covers the definition of purpose, the consequences of living without it, and the process of discovering it through spiritual growth, obedience, and community. Dwayne also introduces four pillars essential for developing a man's purpose, encouraging listeners to engage in self-reflection and seek God's guidance. Takeaways Life without purpose is essentially meaningless. Understanding one's purpose leads to fulfillment and productivity. Each individual is created with a unique purpose by God. Purpose is tied to one's identity and relationship with God. Men often drift without purpose due to confusion and meaninglessness. Purpose requires active listening and obedience to God's guidance. Discovering purpose is a process that unfolds over time. Spiritual development is crucial for understanding purpose. Building relationships with others can help clarify one's purpose. Purpose is rooted in one's identity as a creation of God.

Long before the current war captured the world's attention, a powerful spiritual movement had already been taking place inside Iran. While the nation faced political tension and economic hardship, many Iranians had been turning to Jesus in surprising ways. In this episode of The Missional Life Podcast, Lana Silk explains how underground churches had been growing and new believers were quickly becoming disciple-makers. Through media outreach, digital church gatherings, and courageous faith, the gospel had been reaching thousands across the nation.

Blessed Are — Bruises to Blessings Description: In this message from the Blessed Are series, Pastor Eric addresses a bruised and grieving moment in our nation and calls the church to see suffering through the lens of Jesus' words: “Blessed are you…” Drawing from the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount, he explains that blessing is not the absence of pain but the presence of God's redeeming purpose within it. Pastor Eric reflects on persecution, reviling, and being maligned for righteousness' sake, showing how cultural hostility toward biblical convictions is not new—and should not surprise believers. He emphasizes that following Christ means obedience to God over approval from men, even when that obedience leads to suffering, misunderstanding, or loss. The message presses the church to resist fear, self-censorship, and compromise, and instead walk faithfully as ambassadors of Christ. At the heart of the sermon is Isaiah 52–53, where the first and greatest bruise to blessing is revealed. Jesus Christ was wounded, bruised, rejected, and slain for our transgressions so that peace with God could be offered freely to sinners. Pastor Eric shows that Christ's suffering was purposeful, voluntary, and victorious—and that all who trust Him receive forgiveness, new life, and eternal hope. From Acts, 1 Peter, 2 Timothy, 2 Corinthians, and Hebrews 11, the message broadens to include both persecution and everyday hardship. Whether suffering comes through public hostility, personal loss, disability, sickness, or injustice, God redeems it for His glory when we keep an eternal perspective. Bruises do not have the final word—blessings do. Key Scriptures (NKJV): Matthew 5:3–12; Isaiah 52:13–53:12; Acts 5:29–42; 1 Peter 4:12–16; 2 Timothy 3:12; 2 Corinthians 4:16–18; Hebrews 11:35–40. Highlights: Why Jesus calls the persecuted blessed, not defeated. Biblical conviction vs. political labeling: living as a biblicist. Christ's bruising as the ultimate path to blessing (Isaiah 53). Peace with God purchased through the suffering of Jesus. Obeying God rather than men when faith is costly. Persecution in many forms: slander, exclusion, loss, hardship. Keeping an eternal perspective when life wounds deeply. The call to leave a legacy of faithfulness, not fear. Next Steps: Ask God to help you see your current bruises through an eternal lens. Thank Him for the suffering of Christ that secured your salvation. Pray for courage to live faithfully without compromise, and for grace to respond to opposition with truth, love, and endurance. Choose this week to rejoice—not in the pain—but in the promise that God is turning bruises into blessings for His glory.

Ever wonder why your faith feels stuck? In this message, Ricky breaks down the one thing most Christians miss when trying to build breakthrough faith—and it's probably not what you think!

In a world that feels louder than ever, many of us are quietly asking the same questions: Can I really hear God? How do I know it’s Him? And what do I do when He speaks? That’s why I’m so grateful for this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast, where I sit down with Bible teacher and author Rachael Groll to talk about her book, Knowing God’s Voice: What Female Prophets of the Bible Teach Us About Recognizing, Trusting, and Obeying God. In our conversation, Rachael helps us slow down and look closely at the lives of women in Scripture who truly heard from God—and faithfully responded. Some of their stories are familiar; others are rarely taught, but all remind us that God has always spoken to women and continues to do so today. Together, we talk about: How to discern the difference between God’s voice, our own thoughts, and the voice of the enemy How to grow in confidence when God is leading you to take a step of obedience What Scripture teaches us about women using their voices for God’s purposes How the historical and cultural context of biblical women brings clarity and encouragement for us today This conversation is deeply rooted in God’s Word and gently reminds us that listening to Him is not reserved for a select few—it’s an invitation for every believer who desires to walk closely with Him. If you’ve ever felt unsure, overlooked, or hesitant to trust what God is stirring in your heart, I think this episode will encourage you in meaningful ways. You can listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, and I pray it helps you listen closely, trust more deeply, and walk faithfully in the light God gives you—one step at a time.

Many people think the role of a Christian is simply to go to church, read their Bibles, and pray—checking off the boxes on their list as they do. But God has called us to so much more. If Christians were to fully embrace their God-given role, the world would sit up and take notice because it would be countercultural, revolutionary, and God-glorifying.(00:00) The Christian’s role in society and culture(05:45) Obeying God rather than man (Acts 5)(10:35) The unstoppable proclamation of the gospel(15:00) Christ’s lordship, authority, and honor(19:00) Assurance of salvation and closing exhortationCONNECT WITH PASTOR JACK Get Updates via Text:  https://text.whisp.io/jack-hibbs-podcastWebsite: https://jackhibbs.com/ Instagram: http://bit.ly/2FCyXpO Facebook: https://bit.ly/2WZBWV0 YouTube:  https://bit.ly/437xMHn DAZE OF DECEPTION BOOK:https://jackhibbs.com/daze-of-deception/ Did you know we have a Real Life Network?

What do you do when you finally hit the level of success you prayed for… and you still feel empty? When you've built everything the world celebrates, but you have zero peace? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with the powerhouse herself, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon (and I took three full pages of notes!). Darnyelle built a 7-figure company… and absolutely hated it. She had the success, but not the peace. So she did the unthinkable and burned it all down and rebuilt from the ground up. But this time with God at the center. Today, she leads an 8-figure business rooted in Scripture, strategy, and peace. If you've ever felt stretched, burnt out, misaligned, or unsure whether your success is actually success… this episode will breathe fresh wind into your spirit and your business. I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

Londoners — and besties — Maisey Redman and Emily Beaney join Sadie for a real talk about calling, purpose, ministry, finding home in new places, and what it actually looks like to say yes to what God's telling you to do. They also share why they're both fired up about revival happening in the UK. Maisey just moved back to London and opens up about the powerful moment she knew God had seen her and heard her prayers — it was His way of saying, you're exactly where you're meant to be. Emily shares how she first stepped into the influencer world and how she's turned her platform into a ministry that points everything back to Jesus. The two also get honest about not being the “cool girls” growing up, why that's ended up being one of the best things for their faith, and how they've learned to walk closely with God—even when life feels a little lonely. Listen to UK MP Danny Kruger's speech in the House of Commons on "Christian Restoration in the UK" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JlYf_VGv64 This Episode of WHOA That's Good is Sponsored By: https://www.ponchooutdoors.com/whoa — Get $10 of and free shipping on your first order! https://covenanteyes.com/sadie — Visit the website to learn more and start your journey toward a healthier, stronger marriage today.
