Podcasts about The Only Son

Send us a textIn this episode, we honor three women hymn writers who wrote some timeless  hymns that have been sung by worshipers for centuries. One woman who wrote such a deep, theological hymn during the Reformation, some didn't believe a woman could have done it, and gave the credit to a man! Another of the ladies we look at, had an exemplary life leading up to the writing of her famous hymn, but then made several bad life decisions. And our third female was a young girl who taught all around her what real faith and confidence in the sovereignty of God looks like! The Only Son from Heaven - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipvLPYgKBcBefore the Throne of God - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYu9o9SGFc0Like a River Glorious - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmwzscH_BkQIntroduction Song - To God Be the Glory performed by Julia Gavin Holmes with permissionThanks for tuning in!

The main point of the Bible is absolutely amazing.  Through the price paid by his One and Only Son, God the Father forgives repentant sinners and welcomes them home The post It's Safe to Come Home appeared first on Intown Lutheran Church.

This teaching is from Matthew 27:26-49, Psalm 22:1, 7-8 Today's story is the crucifixion of Jesus. We pick up our story with the flogging of Jesus. Pastor describes what Jesus experienced in this brutal method of torture.  Jesus was then brought to the preaetorium in front of all the soldiers where He was mocked and beaten before they lead Him away to be crucified. Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry Jesus' cross as they walked to Golgatha because Jesus was too weak from the brutality He experienced.  Once on the cross they offered Him wine mixed with gall, but Jesus refused to drink it.  What was this drink? Evidence that has survived points to a tradition that the women of Jerusalem prepared a wine mixture that was intended to dull the pain of an individual who was being tortured or crucified.  But we see Jesus refusing to drink it. The Son of God chose to endure the pain without having anything to easy it. He chose to willingly suffer the agonies of the damned for each of us. Then they cast lots for His clothes and place a sign with the charge against Him: “This is Jesus, King of the Jews.” Pastor shares a detailed description of Jesus' cross. The story continues with taunting coming from the gathered crowd and as darkness covers the sky from noon to 3pm.  Jesus cries out to God the Father highlighting David's prophetic words from Psalm 22:1.  Note also the prophetic fulfillment of the words of verses 7-8: All who see me mock me;
    they hurl insults, shaking their heads. “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
    since he delights in him.” 7 Words of Jesus from the Cross     ⁃    Father forgive them they know not what they do     ⁃    Today you will be with me in paradise     ⁃    Woman, behold your son     ⁃    My God, my God, why have you forsaken me     ⁃    I thirst     ⁃    It is finished     ⁃    Father into Thy hands I commend my spirit Jesus' crucifixion is the greatest love story the world has ever heard. The Only Son of God willingly saved us and it ought to drive us to our knees in tears and holy awe. Pastor ends today's class with the encouragement to read through the rest of the story before joining us again next week.

Thank You for tuning in! Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! Speaking of love do you realize just how much God truly loves you? John 3:16 says “For God so Loved the World that He gave Hus One and Only Son for Us, that whoever believes in Him (puts their trust in Him by faith) will not perish (will not die) but will have everlasting life” God wants to spend all eternity with you! God sent His Son Jesus to pay the cost for our sins, that is Love & Redemption!!! God Bless You!! I pray this episode has blessed you and brought you closer to making a decision to have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ!

We have come to the end of The Apostles' Creed – and what a wonder that these are the truths we believe, these are the truths that shape us, these are the truths that reveal the nature of God in His word! The work of Jesus has given us a certain and true hope: our sins are forgiven. And sin itself will be removed and destroyed – there will be a day of great renewal, and this has been shown in Jesus: we will all be raised, given new bodies fit for dwelling with God! That will be a one-off moment, but its impact will be felt for eternity! God – the Father, Son and Spirit – have worked in faithfulness to bring before God a people of His own, to live with Him forever. God is so good! A great summary is in John 3:16: ‘For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.'

Music for Meditation, "Herr Christ der einig Gottes Sohn" Lord Jesus Christ the Only Son of God (Johann Gottfried Walther: 1684-1748)

Often, in the midst of suffering or personal failure, it is not uncommon to begin to wonder if God is really for us. Throughout the Old Testament, we see that from Adam on, even the best of people had times when they felt like God was against them. This war with God came to a climax when God sent his Only Son only to watch people murder him. In this sermon, we will discuss how it is that we often function as if we are at war with God, and we will discuss the peace that Jesus came to offer us. Our hope is that by the end of this message, we will find ourselves overwhelmed with the reality that our God is really FOR his people.

Christ is the only one who can articulate the law, and fulfill it. He becomes the perfect fulfillment of the love of God and the love of  neighbor, by his sacrifice as God's Only Son on the cross.  He makes visible God's love for us, and shares with us the Holy Spirit. We can join ourselves to him to make our imperfect sacrifice acceptable to God, and by his strength to love one another. We can help that happen by a short prayer done every morning and every evening. 

There is a shroud that hangs over all of mankind. It is this heavy blanket that casts darkness and obscures the glory and splendor of our God. This shroud is the shroud of death and it is there on account of sin. God sent his One and Only Son to suffer the result of sin - death - on our behalf. That through his death and through his resurrection, we may have life - eternal life, in heaven. Heaven... a place where the shroud of death has been removed. Heaven... a place where there is no more tears and no more pain. Heaven... a place where we will see God with our own eyes and we will join believers of all time in praising God. Heaven will be amazing! The belief in heaven doesn't just mean we are waiting around here on earth to enter heaven. The belief in heaven has a direct impact on your life here and now.

SHOW NOTES Well, Hey Framily! Welcome to Coffee & Kathy, this is Stef from the Grief 2 Great Day Podcast.  You are listening to our weekly devotional episode. Grief is the hardest thing you'll ever face, don't ever let anyone diminish that – but let's also not diminish the power of God's Word and the transformational healing He will do in your life. I am a living testimony of going from pitiful (heartbroken, years of tears, angry at God & the world, overwhelmed and confused) to powerful (at peace, joyful and strong in my trust, hope and faith in God).   You are not alone and your today does not have to be your forever!  Oh, I'm so glad you're here today!  What you need to do now is be still and just listen.   Memorable Quote: But then there is the God of the Bible. The One Who has revealed Himself in the pages of Scripture. The God Who IS – not the One I think He is. Or even the One I want Him to be. God the Father, seated on His throne. Sovereign over all things. With ultimate control of every circumstance. ALL powerful. ALL knowing. Completely pure. Holy. Perfect in all His ways. The One who “…who changes the times and the seasons” and “…removes kings and establishes kings.” (Daniel 2:21) The One who makes “the king's heart like channels of water” in His hand, turning it “whichever way He wishes.” (Proverbs 21:1, AMP) The One Who “delights in every detail of our lives”. (Psalm 37:23, NLT) The One Who “daily carries us in His arms” (Psalm 68:19, NLT) The One Who showed us His holiness in the giving of the Law, knowing we would break it. And then also gave us His One and Only Son as the substitute for our punishment, knowing He did not want to live without us. And that is just the beginning of Who the Bible says He is.   Grief 2 Great Day Website - Connect with Me Click Here to take Action Now - “The First Year of Grief.

Pastor Jeff is teaching us that Jesus is teh Only Way to Heaven, and he remind us that God stills speaks to us today and tell us that Jesus is HIs One and Only Son. And He does that by the power of His Holy Spirit. Matthew 16:16-17 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

This week, Brandon McCauley shared with us on the words "His One and Only Son" from John 3:16. The old testament law was only meant to cover our sin, not atone for them. That is why we needed the Messiah, Jesus Christ! “The biggest enemy of learning is knowing” John 3:16 is a verse we may all know, but what if there's way more here for us to learn and obey? Join us for God So Loved, a series through the twenty-four words of John 3:16 to discover the full meaning behind one of the most well-known Bible verses of all time.

The idea of abandoning ourselves to God can feel scary. Our broken and wounded parts unconsciously hesitate to surrender, unsure how safe it is to trust the Lord with everything. Thankfully, Abba leads the way! He sacrificially abandoned himself to us in love by giving his One and Only Son.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi help you get caught up in the thrill of God's affectionate abandonment. Abba doesn't force you to surrender—he woos you! You will slowly but confidently come to trust him in every area as you allow yourself to be impacted by his courtship of your heart. Resources for this Episode:Healing Prayer: For Emotional & Physical WholenessMeet with a Soul Shepherding Sr. Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

John, the beloved apostle, could have written more in His Gospel account, but he knew that he gave us enough to believe in God's One and Only Son.  I am thankful!

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 219 (in 'God is love') - God's love for Israel is compared to a father's love for his son. His love for his people is stronger than a mother's for her children. God loves his people more than a bridegroom his beloved; his love will be victorious over even the worst infidelities and will extend to his most precious gift: "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." - 444 (in 'The Only Son of God') - Jesus calls himself the "only Son of God", and by this title affirms his eternal pre-existence. He asks for faith in "the name of the only Son of God" (abbreviated). - 458 (in 'Why did the Word become Flesh'?) - The Word became flesh so that thus we might know God's love: "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him." "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." - 678-679 (in 'To Judge the Living and the Dead') - Following in the steps of the prophets and John the Baptist, Jesus announced the judgement of the Last Day in his preaching. Then will the conduct of each one and the secrets of hearts be brought to light. Then will the culpable unbelief that counted the offer of God's grace as nothing be condemned...Christ is Lord of eternal life. Full right to pass definitive judgement on the works and hearts of men belongs to him as redeemer of the world. He "acquired" this right by his cross. the Father has given "all judgement to the Son". Yet the Son did not come to judge, but to save and to give the life he has in himself. By rejecting grace in this life, one already judges oneself, receives according to one's works, and can even condemn oneself for all eternity by rejecting the Spirit of love (abbreviated).

Today is a powerful day representing the most destructive act by mankind in all of our History - the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.   It is hard to believe that Mankind could have ever been so cruel.   But even more unbelievable is that as the crowds circled Jesus with Hate, He was at the same time Asking His Father to forgive them for just what they had done.   Let us take this day, this time, to remember that "God so loved the world - that he freely gave His One and Only Son to forgive them and take away their Sins"."   "Greater Love Hath No Man Than This!"

Please join Pastor Jeff in another great episode of our series - The Way to the Savior. Today's Scripture is a reminder that God proved His love by sending His One and Only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins.   Romans 5:8 8 But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John closes out our series this morning with a final message helping us discover the right response to the what God has done in sending His One and Only Son, Jesus into the world for our salvation.

Today as we begin to our study and meditate on Psalm 76, we are now beginning our journey through the second half of the 150 Psalms. First let me say how thankful I am that you are on this journey with us on a daily basis. I always knew that as a pastor I really couldn't retire, and I wondered exactly what the Lord might have me doing during these “retirement” years. It was an awesome privilege and responsibility to be a senior pastor of three great churches over those 47 plus years of ministry.   Now I have an “invisible” audience over the social media to you and many others that allows me to continue to do what God called me to do and that is to “Make Him Known”! The heartbeat of God is that the world of people, that He loved so much that He sent His One and Only Son to die for, would know Him, love Him, and live a life that glorifies Him! I have simply joined God as a “co-laborer” in His harvest fields over these years to accomplish His mission! Thanks for being a part of this ministry with me through this daily “Pastor's Chat”.   Many Bible students believe that Psalm 76 is a continuation of Psalm 75. They go together hand in hand. Most commentators agree that Psalm 76 also belongs to the time when God overthrew Sennacherib's host before the gates of Jerusalem. There are some that think that the Psalm was possibly a Davidic Psalm originally, though it does not bear his name. It found its way into the choir collection, and later King Hezekiah used it to express the sentiments of his own day and age. Hezekiah's use of the Psalm so overshadowed David's that it is associated far more with the Jerusalem of Hezekiah's day than it is with the Jerusalem of David's day.   Like the previous Psalm it is a hymn of praise. The Septuagint version of the Psalms contains the additional note: "A song with reference to the Assyrians." We see, then, that from earliest times that was the thought that leaped to devout minds when this psalm was sung. The background of this Psalm is probably God's judgment of the Assyrian army as recorded in Isaiah 37-38 and 2 Kings 18-19. Other "Zion" Psalms include Psalms 46, 48, 87, 126, 132, and 137.   In Psalm 75:1, Asaph was thanking God for the miracle that delivered Judah and Israel from the Assyrians and described God's mighty works that revealed the greatness of His character and His power. But the emphasis in Psalm 76 is on the God who accomplished the victory and not on the miracle itself. Sennacherib's officers boasted of their king and his conquests, but their dead idols were no match for the true and living God (Psalm 115:1-18). In Psalm 76, Asaph shares four basic truths about Jehovah God that we will look at over the next several days. First, in verses 1-3, God wants us to know Him.   In verse 1, Asaph named both Israel and Judah, for though the kingdoms had been divided politically, there was still only one covenant people in the sight of the Lord. When the northern kingdom of Israel was taken by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. many godly people moved into Judah where a descendant of David was on the throne and true priests ministered in God's appointed temple (2 Chron. 11:13-17; 15:9). God's name was great in Judah and Jerusalem (Psalms 47:1-2; 48:1, 10; 77:13), but it needed to be magnified among the neighboring nations, for that was Israel's calling (v. 11; Gen. 12:1-3).   "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22), and if we are to know the true and living God, we must read the Bible, a Jewish book, and trust the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came through the Jewish nation and died for the sins of the world. The true and living God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:3; Eph. 1:3; 1 Peter 1:3).   God's heart desire is that “We might know Him”, not just know about Him! Do you know Him today?   God bless!

The best eyewitness imaginable--John, son of Zebeddee---testifies that he experienced the...experienced the power and the personality and the presence of Jesus; he builds the case for Jesus being the One and Only Son of God. The question is: do we agree?

God is love! And He shows that He is love by sending His One and Only Son to die for us. Join Pastor Jeff and Mrs. Melinda as they share more about this.   John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Happy Epiphany from the Lutheran Ladies! To celebrate the day, Sarah's digging into the backstories of Epiphany hymns in an all-new Hymn Sing episode.   Drawing from the results of a Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook poll to narrow and order her selections, Sarah begins her discussion with the so-called “Queen of Chorales,” Philipp Nicolai's “O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright” (LSB 395). She then covers other beloved Epiphany lyrics, including “Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning” (LSB 400), “As With Gladness Men of Old” (LSB 397), and “Arise and Shine in Splendor” (LSB 396).  Click to listen to an entire podcast episode on Elisabeth Cruciger, the author of Sarah's favorite Epiphany hymn, "The Only Son from Heaven" (LSB 402).

Out of the billions who have ever lived, only a handful of people have made a lasting imprint upon society. There is one who stands head and shoulders above all others: Jesus, the One and Only Son of God. In this message, Adrian Rogers reveals three things we can learn about Jesus Christ from Colossians 1.

Life isn't easy. We all know that. And to be honest with you, praise doesn't always come out naturally when it feels like everything in your life is working against you and the wheels are coming off your bus. However, I've heard it said that the greatest gift you can give the Lord, others, and yourself is that of thanksgiving. Why? Because when we focus on gratitude, the tide of disappointment washes away and the tide of love rushes in. Joining us on the podcast today to share a little about his testimony and how the act of gratitude has transformed his life is Coach Adam Donyes. Adam is a man who has impacted countless lives as he serves in many different roles including: the K-Equip Director at K-2 (Kanakuk Kamps) and also directing Kanakuk's Worldview Kamp; serving on the teaching team at Woodland Hills Family Church; Founder and President of Link Academy in Branson, MO which exists to provide students with a year of purpose for a lifetime of pursuit as their goal is to empower future leaders to impact the world for Christ; and so much more! What I love about Adam is his humility and the grateful heart that he possesses. He truly has a hunger and desire to know God and to make God's name known! Our prayer is that after listening to today's episode you would leave feeling more equipped and encouraged to live a life of gratitude and develop a grateful heart no matter your circumstance. Remember, even if God doesn't do anything else, because of what He did by sending His One and Only Son to die, be buried, and rise again 3 days later for you and me, He has already done enough!
