Podcasts about pleasing god

It is natural to want to be friends with and seek approval from our peers, but how far is too far? In today's episode, the guys discuss how to stop being “men-pleasers.” The Bible shows us that there are two fears: the fear of men and the fear of God. If you live your entire life trying to please others, it's like continually trying to hit a moving target. People's expectations are always fleeting, and this will be a never-ending battle that will leave you exhausted and empty. Men are wicked and sinful, and our love for heroes is fragile. We see this reflected in the suicide rates of celebrities, who are so accustomed to pleasing men that when the favor of fans falls apart, they lose their identity and worth. It is impossible to please both man and God. Galatians 1:10 states, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” If we are trying to please men, we can't please God. All the satisfaction that you need has been placed on the cross. God knows, loves, and accepts you because He made you, and all the approval you need is from Him.  Next, the guys discuss a hypothetical situation where something could be pleasing to both men and God. In these cases, we should examine our motive. Pleasing the Lord should be the heartbeat of everything we do. Desiring the approval of men is also a form of worship, because worship is anything that we prioritize above God. Out of a desire to “fit in,” we become imitators of those around us, which exposes us to the danger of an identity crisis. If we try to be like other people in this fallen world, we become like a fallen creature ourselves, where pleasing people prevents us from accomplishing God's purpose for our life. We must choose to be who God made us to be, so we can glorify Him and share the gospel with others.  If the apostles in the Bible tried to please men instead of God, then they would not have been martyred for their faith. The guys discuss John F. Kennedy and John Lennon who were worshiped by the world. But when they lost their lives, the big question isn't how handsome or rich or famous they were, but were their sins forgiven? People-pleasing may be seen as a “respectable sin,” but it is still a sin that creeps up secretly, unannounced and unnoticed. To keep this sin in check, we must be proactive in overcoming it. The guys suggest praying preventative prayers multiple times a day, studying and memorizing scripture, and reading books. If you don't act to change something, then that's evidence that you don't really want to overcome it. When we recognize our weakness, it drives us to God. We are not to serve ourselves or our culture—we are commanded to keep the KingdomThanks for listening!

Pleasing God isn't about putting a bigger smile on God's face. Pleasing God is about seeking to honor the One who already greatly delights in us.

Stan does Part 5 of all the Ephesians verse 10's, which not only summarises the book of Ephesians but are also a summary of the big plan of God and the part we have to play in it. Eph 5:10 is about living a life that pleases God.

Episode 58 [Mark 12:28-34] w/ with Parker and Amy Smith Whether you are a christian or not, you have most likely asked yourself how you can please God. In today's episode we get the answer to that question. Once more, the answer comes directly from Jesus. Pleasing God or being in good standing with God isn't about committing good deeds or even trying to stop doing "bad things". The most important thing that every person can do is very simple. Answer: Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. Sponsors / Resources: Click to support: 22 Beans Coffee Co.

Pastor Tyler continues our study from the Book of Hebrews, Faith Moving Forward.

In his verse by verse audio series on the book of Malachi, Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse points out the great insight and conviction that this messenger's writings offer us today. You'll see how Malachi, a prophet in the days of Nehemiah, directs his cries of judgment to a people plagued with corrupt priests, wicked practices and a false sense of security in their relationship with God. Using the question-and-answer method, Malachi probes deeply into their problems of hypocrisy, infidelity, mixed marriages, divorce, false worship, and arrogance. So sinful has the nation become that God's words to the people no longer have any impact. Through Malachi, you'll see how God revealed his continuing love for Israel in spite of her disobedience, and be challenge to live a life that is holy and honoring to him.

What does it mean to make every effort to enter the Sabbath rest promised in the Bible? Be careful to watch your step in these dark days – instead of conforming to the world, glorify God in all that you do.

The original creation had a purpose that was marred and derailed by sin. Scripture teaches in Christ, we are a new creation. Mac Powell sings of it in his song, "New Creation." It's the perfect song to launch into God's Word to learn all we can about what it means to be a new creation. Did you know there are only two places in the New Testament where the exact phrase "new creation" is used? I'm going to pick one and dive deep. Join me! In this week's episode, I discuss the following: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in context Read the text aloud Pray Make a list Define words Compare and contrast How the song is linked to "Soul On Fire" by Third Day - Episode 55 Our inspiration verse - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Slowing down to read the text in context and asking God to help me see what He wanted me to see Seeing links to what we've studied in previous weeks Pleasing God - 1 Corinthians 5:9 - Episode 444 New creation (i.e., new heavens and new earth) - 1 Corinthians 5:17 - Episode 443 Compare and contrast items dead vs. alive regarding others according to the flesh vs. not regarding others according to the flesh old creation vs. new creation How God created something out of nothing in the original creation - GotQuestions.org Article on ex nihilo The ministry, message, and role we have as new creations in Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:14-6:2 God as the initiator of reconciliation - The Message of 2 Corinthians by Paul Barnett - Amazon Paid Link How we are invited into the cooperative group effort of reconciliation   God's heart is for the world to be reconciled to Him. His plan is to make that appeal through me.   More Than a Song Playlist Additional Resources Lyrics - NewReleaseToday.com The story behind the song "New Creation" by Mac Powell - KLove.com Article "I'm a New Creation in Christ...What is That?" - The Gospel Coalition Article My new favorite Bible Study Software - Logos Bible Software Weekly Challenge Read Paul's second letter to the Corinthians. At least read chapters 4-6 before taking a closer look at verses 14-21 of chapter five and the following few verses of chapter six. Consider what it is to be a new creation in light of what you know about the first creation. Interact with the text by making lists and defining words as you ponder the meaning of reconciliation and your ministry, message, and title from being reconciled to God.

Do you struggle with focus? Are you someone who may not know where to place your focus given the chaotic nature of life? In this episode, we will look at Paul as someone who had proper focus. And over the course of this series "Where is Your Focus", we will continue to look to Paul as someone who exemplified tremendous, consistent focus. What we do consistently in our lives makes all the difference. What are you consistently focused on?

It's far easier to please God than most people think. Today Joyce shares two things you can do to make God happy and energize your faith at the same time!

Normal people are stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. Many of their relationships are, at best, strained and, in most cases, just surviving. Even though we live in one of the most prosperous places on earth, normal is still living paycheck to paycheck and never getting ahead. And when it comes to God, the many believe, but few practice the teachings of Scripture in their everyday lives. Simply put, normal isn't working. 

Pleasing God is not a mystery. It is not something that is inaccessible. It is possible to find and know what pleases Him. Whatever is pleasing to the Lord is always what is best for you. Whatever is pleasing to the Lord is always your answer.

Ever wonder if God is disappointed in you? Today Joyce shares scriptures that reveal His true feelings toward you. Discover the good news you've been missing!

Hebrews 13: 15-16 (ESV)

Paul's description & defense of his ministry to the Thessalonians provides us a good example of how to minister to others. We look at 3 details of the good steward who has been entrusted with ministry from God. 1. A Ministry of Courage & Commitment 2. A Ministry with Honesty Motives 3. A Ministry Aimed at Pleasing God

Heart to Heart - Download and listen to a powerful morning devotion from Pastor Jacques as he shares on the power of faith. Our faith should be pleasing to God. When we have faith it shows trust and that is what builds us up. 5 October 2022
