Podcasts about Pneuma

Spirit of God E1 — In 2017, we released a 3-episode series on the theme of the Holy Spirit. And now eight years later, we've decided there's still a lot more to reflect on and explore! The word we translate in English as “spirit” is ruakh in the Hebrew Bible and pneuma in the Greek New Testament. The word refers to God's personal presence, but it also often refers to wind, breath, and a human's mind. So how can this word refer to God's manifest presence and energy, but also created things? In this episode, Jon and Tim kick off a new expanded series on the Spirit of God. CHAPTERS The Frequency of Ruakh and Pneuma in the Bible (0:00-13:32) The Meaning of Ruakh (13:32-25:05) The Paradox of Wind and God's Spirit (25:05-40:39) Ruakh as a Mind or Idea (40:39-53:39) OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode's official transcript.

Elder Drew Howard opened Week 7 of "Ruach to Pneuma" by drawing a careful distinction that builds on last week: being indwelled by the Holy Spirit and being filled with Him are not the same thing. Indwelling, he explained from Ephesians 1:13, is the seal every believer receives at salvation, permanent, unconditional, and positional. Filling, from Ephesians 5:18, is His influence, and it is repeatable, conditional, and experiential, rising and falling with our response to Him. Working through the account of the ark of God in First and Second Samuel, Drew showed both the warning and the way. Israel first treated the ark as a good luck charm, carrying it into battle to force God's hand, and the result was disaster, defeat, the ark captured, and a child named Ichabod, "the glory has departed." His first warning landed there: God is not a genie in a bottle or a Santa Claus, and we must never use Him as a token to get what we want. Then, tracing David's life, Drew drew out five marks of a Spirit-filled life. Live out the calling God has given you, using your gifts for His glory. Inquire of the Lord and seek His will rather than your own. Seek your answers in the Word and live according to it, as David learned when moving the ark carelessly brought death and moving it God's way brought blessing. Sing songs of praise that fill the heart, as David danced before the Lord with all his might. And own it, be unashamed of being filled with the Spirit, even under the contemptuous gaze of David's wife Michal. Drew was honest that being filled can look a little crazy to a watching world, a Bible open on your desk at work, a mission trip instead of a vacation, and that this is exactly the point. He closed with a final warning drawn from Michal: be careful how you judge others who are worshiping in the Spirit.

2）弗1:3-14  基督為萬物的元首 3願我們的主耶穌基督的天主和父受讚美！他在天上，在基督內，以各種屬神的祝福，祝福了我們，4因為他於創世以前，在基督內已揀選了我們，為使我們在他面前，成為聖潔無瑕疵的；5又由於愛，按照自己旨意的決定，預定了我們藉着耶穌基督獲得義子的名分，而歸於他，6為頌揚他恩寵的光榮，這恩寵是他在自己的愛子內賜與我們的；7我們就是全憑天主豐厚的恩寵，在他的愛子內，藉他愛子的血，獲得了救贖，罪過的赦免。8的確，天主豐厚地把這恩寵傾注在我們身上，賜與我們各種智慧和明達，9為使我們知道，他旨意的奧秘，是全照他在愛子內所定的計劃：10就是依照他的措施，當時期一滿，就使天上和地上的萬有，總歸於基督元首。11我們也是在基督內得作天主的產業，因為我們是由那位按照自己旨意的計劃施行萬事者，早預定了的，12為使我們這些首先在默西亞內懷着希望的人，頌揚他的光榮；13在基督內你們一聽到了真理的話，即你們得救的福音，便信從了，且在他內受了恩許聖神的印證；14這聖神就是我們得嗣業的保證，為使天主所置為嗣業的子民，蒙受完全的救贖，為頌揚他的光榮。 ❖1:3-14本段可說是保祿神學的綱要，因為當中包括教會的一切基本要理：如天主聖三：聖父為萬有的根源與終向；聖子降生，以自己的寶血救贖人類；聖神對基督妙身施行聖化、寵召和預定，並啟示天主的奧秘；基督為萬有的元首，是人類歷史的中心等等。 本段也是一首含義極深的讚美詩，當中3-10節也用作時辰頌禱禮星期一晚禱兩篇聖詠後的（第三篇）新約聖歌。而「為頌揚他的光榮」一句，在本詩內共出現三次，仿如一個叠句（6,12,14）。本讚美詩可分為三小段： 1）3-4天主在愛子內揀選了我們； 2）5-8天主在愛子內預定了我們； 3）9-14天主在愛子內揭示他的奧秘。 1）3-4天主在愛子內「揀選」了我們 ❖「願我們的主耶穌基督的天主和父受讚美！他在天上，在基督內，以各種屬神的祝福，祝福了我們」（3）──這讚美詩以「祝福／讚美」作小引：我們「讚美」天主，因為「他祝福了我。」「祝福」和「讚美」實為同一個動詞：（greek） euvloge,w - eulogeō ＝（hebrew） %rB - brk。中文則以動詞對象不同，分別譯作「祝福」（由上而下）或「讚美」（由下而上）。「祝福／讚美」這詞在本詩中共出現了三次，這與猶太人傳統的祈禱極相似，但當中卻開宗明義提到聖三：「天主父」（qeo.j path,r - Theos Patēr）、「主耶穌基督」（ku,rioj VIhsou/j Cristo,j - kyrios Iesous Christos）和「屬神的祝福」（euvlogi,a| pneumatikh/| - eulogia pneumatikē），意即來自「聖神」（pneu/ma - Pneuma）的祝福。 保祿稱天主為「主耶穌基督的天主和父」，因為就耶穌的人性而言，天主真是他的「天主」，就耶穌的天主性而言，天主本是他的「父」（迦4:4；格前15:24等）。對新約子民來說，天主不但是「亞巴郎、依撒格、雅各伯的天主」（出3:6；瑪22:32等），更是「主耶穌基督的天主和父」，這稱呼實在十分恰當。 ❖「因為他於創世以前，在基督內，已揀選了我們⋯⋯」（4）──這句話使我們想到主耶穌所說的話：「父啊！你所賜給我的人，我願我在那裏，他們也同我在一起，使他們享見你所賜給我的光榮，因為你在創世之前，就愛了我」（若17:24）。天父「於創世之前」已決定聖子要降生成人，即他從永遠就願意世人，因着他降生成人的聖子成為自己的義子，為的是能「藉着基督，在基督內，同基督一起」愛慕天父。既然天主預先決定了他聖子的降生，他也就為了聖子的光榮，創造了萬有。基督是萬有的近因和直接目的：萬有是在他內，為了他而受造的（哥1:15-20）。（按「在基督內」evn Cristw|/ - en Christō一語在3-14節一段內共用了10次） 保祿特別着重人「在基督內」所蒙受的「屬神的」鴻恩，即謂都是「屬於永生的」（格後4:17-18），且與聖神有關的。4節說明天主何以「於創世以前……揀選了（evxele,xato - exelexato）我們」，就是因為天父要「使我們在他面前，成為聖潔無瑕疵的」，要相似他的聖子：因為耶穌是聖的，是無瑕疵的羔羊（路1:35；伯前1:19）。天父要人在基督內也成為自己的「義子」，相似自己的「愛子」。 天主「在創世以前預選人」這事實，尤其在聖母瑪利亞身上明顯不過：瑪利亞在「受孕之始便賦有的這些獨特的聖德光輝」，完全是來自基督；她是「因自己聖子的功勞，奇妙地獲得了救贖之恩」。聖父「在天上，在基督內，以各種屬神的福分，祝福了她」（弗1:3），超越任何受造物。天主「在創世以前」，已在基督內揀選了她，為使她「在天主面前，藉著愛而成為聖潔無瑕的」（弗1:4）。（教理492） 2）5-8天主在愛子內「預定」了我們 ❖「又由於愛，按照自己旨意的決定，預定了我們藉着耶穌基督，獲得義子的名分，而歸於他」（5）──保祿在此有意說明天主所以「預定了我們⋯⋯獲得義子的名分」的緣由：天主所以這樣做，並無別的，只因為他是「愛」（若一4:16）。保祿在羅8:28-30指出了天主愛人的5個步驟（預知、預定、寵召、使人成義、賜予永生光榮）：天主藉着這五個步驟達到了救贖人類，使人成為他的義子，及「頌揚他恩寵的光榮」（6）等目的。 「預知」和「預定」，指天主「於創世以前」，即在「時間以前」所有的旨意；而「寵召」、「使人成義」和「賜予永生光榮」，指天主在「時間中」執行自己旨意的行為。天主這靈活生動的愛有一個目的，就是要他的義子「頌揚他恩寵的光榮」。「為頌揚他恩寵的光榮」一句，出現了第一次，它將再出現於讚美詩中，仿如一個叠句（6,12,14）。 ❖天主「預定了我們」，這話有什麼意思？這並不是定命論！因為時間的每一刻都真真實實地呈現在天主面前。所以祂「預定」自己的永遠計劃時，也包括每人對祂恩寵的自由回應。正如宗4:27-28所指出的，「實在，黑落德和般雀比拉多，與異民和以色列人聚集在這座城內，反對祢的聖僕人耶穌，反對祢的受傅者，實行了祢的手和計劃所預定要成就的事。」天主允許了人的盲目行為，以完成祂救恩的計劃。（教理600） ❖天主並沒有預定任何人下地獄。罪人下地獄是因為他故意離棄天主，在大罪中至死不悔改。在感恩祭和信友每日的祈禱中，教會懇求天主的仁慈，祂並不願意「任何人喪亡，只願眾人回心轉意」（伯後3:9）：「主，所以我們懇求祢，惠然收納，祢的僕人和祢全家所奉獻的這項禮品，使我們一生平安度日，脫免永罰，並得列入祢簡選的人群中。」（教理1037） ❖「這恩寵是他在自己的愛子內賜與我們的。我們就是全憑天主豐厚的恩寵，在他的愛子內，藉他愛子的血，獲得了救贖，罪過的赦免」（6-7）──仁慈的大父所以用這豐厚的恩寵優待世人，純是為了他「愛子」的緣故；「愛子」（hvgaphme,noj - egapēmenos）一名是天父用來稱呼耶穌的（瑪3:17; 17:5）。雖然我們因原祖的罪都成了罪人，但天主「在愛子內」救贖了我們。這救贖首先在於「罪過的赦免」，這是最基本的恩賜，只有當天主赦免我們的過犯，我們才能與天主和好如初（羅5:1），成為他的子女。 ❖「天主豐厚地把這恩寵，傾注在我們身上，賜與我們各種智慧和明達」（8）──保祿提到「罪過的赦」後，更指出天主賜給了我們「各種智慧和明達」。藉着「智慧」（sofi,a - sophia），做義子的能夠領會天父的心意；而藉着「明達」（fro,nhsij - phronēsis），就能夠知道用什麼方法，做什麼事去悅樂天父的心。 ❖金口聖若望（St. John Chrysostom 354-407）講論這首讚美詩說：「你還欠缺什麼？你已成了不死不滅的，成了自由的，成了天主的子女，成了義人，成了兄弟，成了同為繼承人，與基督一起為王，與他一起受到光榮。一切都賜給了我們，正如經上說的：『豈不也把一切與他一同賜給我們嗎？』（羅8:32）⋯⋯天主『按照自己旨意的決定』（弗1:5）所指為何？意思是說；天主切願和渴望我們得救。他為何這樣愛我們？他為了什麼原故如此愛我們？只因了仁慈：實在，這恩寵全是基於他的仁慈。⋯⋯為此，保祿肯定說一切都是『為頌揚他恩寵的光榮，這恩寵是他在自己的愛子內賜與我們的』（弗1:6）。實在，天主不但從罪惡之中解救了我們，他還使我們成為可愛的。⋯⋯他裝飾我們的靈魂，使它成為美麗的，令人喜愛和戀慕的。天主藉他愛子的血完成了這一切」（In Epistolam ad Ephesios, I, 1,2,3 ; PG 62:11-14）。 3）9-14天主在愛子內使我們知道他的「奧秘」 ❖「為使我們知道他旨意的奧秘，是全照他在愛子內所定的計劃」（9）──天父除了在愛子內「揀選」和「預定」了我們（4-5），還「使我們知道他旨意的奧秘」。依照保祿的思想，天主的「奧秘」（musth,rion - mystērion）就是他為了人類的救贖而「在愛子內所定的計劃」。這項從永遠就決定了的計劃，除非有天主的啟示，沒有一個人能夠想得到。 ❖「依照他的措施，當時期一滿，就使天上和地上的萬有，總歸於基督元首」（10）──天主的這項計劃待時期一滿，就在聖神的推動下，藉着基督，並在基督內實現（3:4; 6:19；哥1:25-27; 4:3等）。保祿用了這句話，說明兩件大事： 1）天主是在時間中實踐了他的奧秘。「依照他的措施，當時期一滿」一句，與迦4:4「但時期一滿，天主就派遣了自己的兒子來」頗為相似。弗1:10所說的「時期」（kairo,j - kairos）是指默西亞時代那一刻，迦4:4所指的「時期」（cro,noj - chronos）卻指這時間的進程。歷史是天主所推動的，是為叫降生的聖子光榮他的父（若17:1-2）。 2）天主這奧秘的內容，在於「使天上和地上的萬有，總歸於基督元首。」「總歸於基督元首」（avnakefalaiw,sasqai - anakephalaiōsasthai）這動詞有「再匯合」、「重新」和「合而為一」的含義，英文多譯作 ‟recapitulate”，意思是天主從永遠即預定了降生為人的聖子要作「萬有的元首」（1:22-23；哥2:10）。天主在永遠所決定的，如今在時間中藉着聖子的降生和救贖工程實現了。雖然宇宙中沒有一件事物不屬於基督權下，但是保祿在此特別着重天使和人類全屬他權下，所以他說「天上和地上的萬有」：「天上」是指「天使」，「地上」是指「人類」。 ❖「我們也是在基督內，才得作天主的產業，⋯⋯為使我們這些首先在默西亞內懷着希望的人，頌揚他的光榮」（11-12）──在基督內，不論是猶太人或外邦人，藉着信德都成了天父的承繼人──「產產」。在他聖子降生為人以前，人類分成兩大派別：即猶太人和外邦人。猶太人是「首先在默西亞內，懷着希望的人」（12），因為他們得了天主的啟示，知道救世主即將來臨，所以把希望都寄託在默西亞身上。只要他們以信德接受基督，他們就是頌揚天主的光榮（5-6）。 ❖「你們一聽到了真理的話，即你們得救的福音，便信從了，且在他內，受了恩許聖神的印證」（13）──猶太人和外邦人都「在基督內」，或藉着基督的教會，聽到了「真理的話」，即聽信了耶穌的福音而得救。「且受了恩許聖神的印證」，即謂聖神給基督徒蓋上了一個印，印上一個特別記號，說明他們是屬於基督的，為在基督內而活於天主（羅6:10）。 ❖「這聖神，就是我們得嗣業的保證，為使天主所置為嗣業的子民，蒙受完全的救贖，為頌揚他的光榮」（14）── 那擁有聖神的信友，在自己心中既有聖神作「保證」，那麼，對將來的「嗣業」也便有了「保證」，待天主所指定的期限一到，「天主所置為嗣業的子民」，亦即聖教會，便要蒙受完全的救贖，因而頌揚天主的光榮。 *****     *****     ***** ❖「聖洗、堅振和聖秩三件聖事，除了賦予聖事恩寵外，還賦予聖事的神印或『印號』，信友藉此分受基督的司祭職，並按照不同的身分與任務，成為教會的一分子。這令人肖似基督和教會的印號，由聖神所實現，是永不會磨滅的；這印號時常存留在信友內，成為他們領受恩寵的積極準備；它又是天主照顧的許諾和保証，且是欽崇天主和服務教會的召叫」（教理1121）。

Pastor Russell Johnson opened Week 6 of "Ruach to Pneuma" with the season he and Terri were expecting their twins: preterm labor at 24 weeks, eight weeks of hospital bed rest an hour from home, and both grandmothers moving in two weeks at a time to bring the family stability, security, and assurance. That became his picture for the morning, the permanent Resident every believer carries. Walking through Romans 8:9-11, he showed that Paul's repeated "if" is not doubt but settled fact: if you belong to Christ, the Spirit already dwells in you, not as a second stage or a reward for the advanced, but as the immediate consequence of saving faith. He is a Resident, not a guest, and the same Spirit who raised Jesus now lives in you. From Ephesians 1:13-14, Pastor Russell then opened the seal along three lines: security that only a greater authority could break, ownership that marks you as bought and belonging, and a down payment, the Greek arrabon, the first installment of an inheritance guaranteed to be paid in full. You cannot grieve Him away or fail Him away. You are sealed for the day of redemption, and the invitation is to stop striving for a security you already possess.

Student Pastor Eric Wischmann opened Week 5 of "Ruach to Pneuma" by reflecting on the birth of his daughter Ivy in April and how becoming a father, as becoming a husband and a pastor before it, exposed his weakness and reminded him of the cycles we carry and pass down, good and bad. He named struggles many of us feel powerless against, including anger, insecurity, addiction, and arrogance, and asked how we break these cycles. His answer was that cycles are not broken by trying harder; they are broken when God makes someone new. Turning to John 3, Pastor Eric walked through three truths about the new birth: its necessity, its means, and its gift.Pastor Eric then explained the new birth as a gift. Jesus pointed Nicodemus to Ezekiel's promise of a new heart and new spirit, and to the bronze serpent in the wilderness, where dying people were healed by looking in faith at what God lifted up. In the same way, Jesus would be lifted up on the cross, and whoever believes in Him has eternal life from the moment of belief. This gift is unconditional and undeserved, purchased entirely by Christ, and adding any of our own credit denies the sufficiency of His work and the Spirit's work. He closed by saying we are no longer slaves to sin. The cycles that have felt unstoppable can end because the Spirit now lives in us, and the church should live so changed that others notice, as people who take responsibility for their sin, seek help, and live as new creations in Christ.

Pastor Jamey Bryant opened Week 4 of "Ruach to Pneuma" with Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense," the little document that, written in plain language a farmer or shopkeeper could read aloud in a tavern, fanned the colonists' quiet discontent into an open flame and helped birth a nation we are about to celebrate at 250 years. He used it to point to a far greater catalytic moment: Pentecost, the birth of the church and the day the Holy Spirit came to indwell God's people and never left. Walking through Acts 2, Pastor Jamey set the scene with the disciples waiting in the upper room for ten days, doing exactly what Jesus told them to do, holding onto His promise that it was to their advantage that He go away so the Spirit could come. He reminded us that Pentecost itself predates the church, an ancient harvest festival tied to God's provision and the giving of the Law, which makes the wind and fire of Acts 2 all the more fitting: just as God gave the Law with fire at Sinai, He now gave a gift greater than the Law, the Spirit, with fire as the sign of His indwelling presence. Then came the tongues, and here Pastor Jamey was careful. This was not chaos or babbling, but real, known languages, each visitor from across the world suddenly hearing these common Galileans declare the mighty works of God in his own heart language. The Spirit chose to reach each person at the heart level, and the whole purpose was to shine the spotlight not on the speakers, not even on Himself, but on Jesus.From there, Pastor Jamey turned to Peter, transformed. Fifty days after denying Jesus three times, Peter stood before thousands and boldly proclaimed Him, declaring that the One they crucified God had raised and made both Lord and Christ. The crowd was pierced to the heart and cried out, "What shall we do?" Pastor Jamey took time with Peter's answer in Acts 2:38, the call to repent and be baptized, and walked carefully through how it holds together with salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. He showed that the people had already believed by the end of Peter's sermon and that Peter was calling that specific generation, guilty of rejecting the Father's, the Son's, and the Spirit's testimony, to come out from under judgment. He reminded us that Acts is a transitional book, a little messy as the early believers figured things out in real time, and that we get into trouble when we build an entire theology on one snapshot rather than reading it alongside the rest of the New Testament. He closed with the wonder of it: three thousand souls added that day, a church devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, and the same Spirit who indwelt and empowered them still indwelling us, still giving boldness, still sending the gospel out, and still inviting us to participate today.

Quando a gente olha para Deus, vê algo perfeito:Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo completamente UNIDOS, distintos, mas UM só Deus.Agora olha pra nós: espírito, alma e corpo… criados à imagem desse Deus perfeito…e ao mesmo tempo tão confusos, divididos, em guerra por dentro.Paulo descreve isso em Romanos:“Quero fazer o bem, mas acabo fazendo o mal.Me alegro na lei de Deus, mas tem algo em mim que puxa para o outro lado.Quem me livrará do corpo dessa morte?”Essa é a nossa realidade:– dentro de nós, o ESPÍRITO (quando nasce de novo) deseja Deus, santidade, Eternidade;– a CARNE, ligada ao pecado, puxa para baixo, para o prazer imediato, para longe de Deus;– e o CAMPO DE BATALHA é a ALMA: pensamentos, emoções, lembranças, desejos.É por isso que a vida cristã não é “paz e amor” automático. É GUERRA INTERNA.Gálatas 5.16–17 diz:“Andai no Espírito e JAMAIS satisfareis os desejos da carne.Porque a carne luta contra o Espírito, e o Espírito contra a carne;para que vocês não façam o que querem (a vontade de Deus).”Então primeiro, precisamos entender quem é quem dentro de nós.O corpo é o que todo mundo vê.A alma é onde ficam nossa mente, emoções e vontade.O espírito é a parte mais profunda, criada para se conectar com Deus.Lá no Éden, Deus soprou em Adão o “fôlego do Espírito de Vida” e ele se tornou “alma vivente”.Mas quando o pecado entrou, começou o processo: “morrendo, morrereis”.– O corpo caminhando para a morte física;– o espírito separado de Deus, morto espiritualmente.Só que Deus não desistiu.Ele enviou Jesus para esmagar a serpente, morrer em nosso lugar, ressuscitar como “as primícias dos que dormem” e abrir um caminho de volta:agora, mesmo num corpo que ainda vai morrer, o nosso espírito pode ser VIVIFICADO.Como isso acontece?Romanos 10.9–10 explica:“Se com a tua BOCA confessares Jesus como Senhore em teu CORAÇÃO creres que Deus o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, serás salvo.”Quando pela ALMA (razão, vontade) cremos,e com o CORPO (boca) confessamos Jesus como Senhor,o ESPÍRITO SANTO vem habitar no nosso espírito.Isso é o NOVO NASCIMENTO.Mas atenção:– quem nasce de novo é o ESPÍRITO.– a ALMA continua com as mesmas memórias, traumas, vícios de pensamento, impulsos, aprendidos a vida inteira sem Deus.Por isso a gente pode ser salvo, amar a Deus de verdade,e ainda assim sentir uma guerra violenta aqui dentro.A Bíblia usa muito a palavra “coração”.Em alguns textos “coração” é ESPÍRITO; em outros, é ALMA.Como saber? Pelo contexto.Quando fala de um coração alinhado com Deus, é o espírito vivificado:“Amarás o Senhor teu Deus de TODO o teu coração,de TODA a tua ALMA e de TODA a tua força.” (Dt 6.5)Aqui “coração” não é sinônimo de alma, é algo além: o espírito.“Sobre tudo o que se deve guardar, GUARDA o teu CORAÇÃO,porque dele procedem as fontes da vida.” (Pv 4.23)É do teu espírito, cheio do Espírito Santo, que a vida de Deus flui.Mas em outros textos, “coração” é claramente a ALMA, cheia de lixo, memórias e impulsos:“Enganoso é o coração, mais do que todas as coisas, e desesperadamente corrupto.” (Jr 17.9) “De dentro, do coração dos homens, procedem maus pensamentos, prostituições, furtos, homicídios…” (Mc 7.21–23) “A boca fala do que está cheio o coração.” (Lc 6.45) Percebe?– O espírito, vivificado, é luz, lâmpada de Deus, fonte de vida.– A alma, cheia de lixo do pecado, pode estar enganada, doente, distorcida.Conclusão:não é pra odiar o corpo, nem odiar a alma.É pra COLOCAR TUDO DEBAIXO DO GOVERNO DO ESPÍRITO.O plano de Deus é:– teu espírito, cheio do Espírito Santo, governando;– tua alma sendo renovada, disciplinada, alinhada à Palavra;– teu corpo servindo como instrumento de justiça, e não de pecado.Estamos num “processo de recalibração”:Deus está nos chamando a alinhar tudo em Cristo.Como pneu precisa de ar, nós precisamos do PNEUMA, o sopro do Espírito, enchendo todas as áreas.Continua...

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:10In this message, Pastor Jason unpacks Matthew 5:10 and what it really means to be persecuted for living rightly. Persecution isn't punishment, it's often confirmation you're walking in step with God's Kingdom. He also brings clarity to a key question: What is true biblical persecution?Not every disagreement or hardship qualifies. Biblical persecution is opposition that comes because of your alignment with Jesus and His righteousness.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 What does it really mean to be a peacemaker? In this message, Pastor Jessica unpacks the powerful difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking. One avoids conflict… the other transforms it. As children of God, we carry His authority and His Spirit. That means we're not called to keep the peace at all costs, but to bring a deeper, Spirit-led peace into our relationships, our conversations, and even the hardest situations. This kind of peace doesn't come from avoiding tension. It comes from stepping fully into who God says you are. And it may not look the way you think.  Listen in as we explore what it truly means to live as peacemakers. **Due to technical difficulties, the first 3-4 minutes of the message was lost.

What does it really mean to be PURE in heart?In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Jason unpacks the powerful words of Jesus: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”This isn't about perfection on the outside. It's about transformation on the inside.Purity of heart is about motive, surrender, and a life fully aligned with God.When our hearts are undivided, our vision becomes clear and we begin to see God move in every area of our lives.If you've ever wrestled with distractions, double-mindedness, or hidden struggles, this message will challenge and encourage you to pursue a deeper, more authentic walk with Jesus.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

“Blessed are the merciful…” — easy to say, much harder to live.In this message, Pastor Jason dives into what mercy really looks like when you've been wronged. Not in theory… but in the real-life moments where forgiveness feels undeserved and holding onto hurt feels justified.What if your response to others is actually revealing what you believe about God's mercy toward you? This episode will challenge your heart, shift your perspective, and invite you into a deeper understanding of grace—not just receiving it, but extending it.Because mercy isn't weakness.It's evidence you've encountered the mercy of God.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

Do you realize that if you have given your life to Jesus you have been filled with his Spirit and therefore, you have the mind of Christ?!?!? That's right!!! You have the mind of Christ so your life should reflect that. When we look at the church at Corinth, whom Paul calls holy, they are lacking in the category! There are things going on that do not reflect Christ in that church and Paul is saying to them, “What are yall doing? Why do yall have divisions among you? Yall should all be focused on Jesus and nobody else!” Why? Because they have been given freely the Holy Spirit of God and through the Spirit, they have the mind of Christ and God reveals His secrets to them through His Spirit.

In Part 3 of the Armor Up series, Pastor Jason talks about what it means to stand on the GOSPEL OF PEACE… and carry it everywhere we go.In a culture where so many people are living from a place of anger or people-pleasing, God calls us to be PEACE-MAKERS. Peace doesn't ignore reality.Peace doesn't pretend things aren't hard. Peace steadies us in whatever God has for us, regardless of what's happening around us or what feels completely out of our control.Messages, teaching and encouragement from Pneuma Life Church pastors and leaders!

Now when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22 NRSVUE What if the doctrine of the Trinity—often seen as a rigid, confusing math problem—was actually one of the most radical, inclusive, and “queer” ideas in history? At Open Table MCC, we believe the Trinity isn’t just an ancient dogma; it is a vibrant invitation to community. While many progressive spaces might shy away from traditional doctrines due to their historical misuse, we choose to reclaim them. We dig beneath the layers of colonial and imperial history to find the liberating truth at the center: God is not a solitary ruler, but a community of love. Beyond the Binary The history of the Trinity goes back to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The early church wrestled with a massive question: Was Jesus truly God, or just a human? Was he divine, or created?. The Council's answer was refusal to choose a binary. They declared Jesus is both fully God and fully human. They affirmed that God is One, yet Three—Parent, Child, and Spirit. To the human mind, this is “mental gymnastics”. But to the soul, it is a profound truth: God transcends our limited categories. God is relational, not individual: The very “Godness” of God is relationship, not isolation. God is diverse: The Trinity unsettles the idea of a single, static monarch. Instead, we see a dynamic “Divine Dance”. Why the Trinity is “Queer” In our theological reflection, we dare to say that the Trinity is “queer”. Why? Because “queer” theology is about disrupting norms, questioning binaries, and finding the divine in the margins. It disrupts the norm: The Trinity unsettles strict monotheism by revealing a God who is both one and three. It affirms bodies: By declaring Jesus as fully human, the Trinity affirms that God has a body, a gender, and sexuality. God knows what it is to be brown-skinned, marginalized, and oppressed under empire. It invites fluidity: If God is a community of three persons, we can imagine a God who holds the fullness of the gender spectrum—Parent (Father/Mother), Son (Child), and Spirit (often associated with female or gender-neutral imagery like Ruach or Pneuma). A Promise, Not Just a Doctrine We know the doctrine of the Trinity has been used as a tool for colonization and violence. We do not ignore that history. However, we also see it as a “promise and an idea,” much like the city of Oz in the musical Wicked. It is a promise that love is not solitary. As our pastor shared, “To have faith in the Trinity is to realize that you are created in the image and likeness of this divine community”. You were created from love and for love. And just as God is a community, you can only truly experience that love through community and relationship. Living the Trinity So, what does a 1,700-year-old doctrine have to do with us today? It calls us to embody that same relational love. As Creators: We mirror the Parent/Creator when we make art, write poetry, or build something new. As Redeemers: We mirror Jesus when we forgive others and work for justice. As Advocates: We mirror the Holy Spirit when we guide, help, and stand beside one another. At Open Table MCC, we don’t just recite the creed; we dance it. We invite you to join this divine community where diversity is holy, and no one is meant to be alone. The post Trinity Revealed appeared first on Open Table Metropolitan Community Church.

The second message in Pastor Jason's “Armor Up” series was such a powerful reminder. When armies went into battle, the breastplate was what allowed them to stand confidently on the front lines because they knew they were protected.In the same way, when we truly understand our righteousness in Christ, we can stand confidently too. Not because we are perfect, but because we are covered, secured, and strengthened by Him.

When the holidays hit, we tend to place a lot of expectations on people, moments, and experiences — yet we often forget to truly set our hearts on Jesus. Instead of expecting Him to move in His full power and authority, we look elsewhere to fill us.

Did you know the Church in Philadelphia was the only one in Revelation that Jesus had no correction for? He called them faithful, steadfast, and true. Even though they had little strength, they kept His Word and did not deny His name.Philadelphia was known as the “missionary church,” a doorway city used to spread the gospel to surrounding regions, and that's exactly what Jesus promised: “See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.”This reminds us that faithfulness isn't about how strong we feel, but how steadfast we remain.

 Do you need the Holy Spirit? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally helps us understand that the Holy Spirit isn't optional in the Christian life—He's the source of it. Who Is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is God. The Hebrew word Ruach and the Greek word Pneuma both mean "wind" or "breath." The Holy Spirit is a person—He feels, speaks, and can be hurt by how we live. Ephesians 4:30 (NLT): "Do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live." 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (ESV): "Do not quench the Spirit." You determine how much of the Spirit you experience. The Holy Spirit isn't a power you use—He's a person you know. What Is the Holy Spirit Like? The Holy Spirit isn't weird—people are. Like the wind, He is: Invisible. John 14:17 (NIV). You may not see Him, but you can see His results. Unpredictable. John 3:8 (NIV). You can't control or schedule Him—you can only make room for Him. What Does the Holy Spirit Do? He provides power. Acts 1:8 (NLT): "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." He isn't an accessory; He's the power supply. He gives gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:4 (NLT): "...different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all." They're for showing love, not off. He cleanses us. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NLT): "...you were cleansed... by the Spirit of our God." Jesus forgives sin; the Spirit fixes character. He teaches us. John 14:26 (ESV): "...the Helper... will teach you all things..." He turns Scripture from words you read into words you live. He guides us. Romans 8:14 (NLT): "...all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." He's your guide and guardrail—follow Him, and you won't lose your way. He helps us. John 14:16–17 (NIV): "...he will give you another advocate to help you..." When you can't, He can. He convicts us. John 16:8 (NLT): "He will convict the world of its sin." Conviction draws you to God. "It's God's job to judge, the Spirit's to convict, and ours to love." —Billy Graham He fellowships with us. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT): "... the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." He wants relationship, not visitation rights. Closing At the source of the Nile, a hidden spring flows north, bringing life wherever it goes. When the Holy Spirit is your source, your life flows upward toward God. John 7:38–39 (NIV): "Rivers of living water will flow from within them... By this he meant the Spirit." Stay connected to the Source—and His life will flow through every part of yours. Is the Holy Spirit your source?
