Podcasts about possessions

Welcome to Day 2110 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Sermon on the Mount 8 – A Christian's Ambition: Not Material Security, But God's Rule – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 07/04/2021 Sermon on the Mount – A Christian's Ambition: Biblical Priorities Result in Freedom From Worry Matthew 6:19-34 Today's Scripture is found on page 1505 of the pew Bible.   Teaching about Money, Possessions, and Worry  “Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.  Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.  Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.  “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.  But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!  “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.  “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?  Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing,  yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?  “So don't worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?'  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.  “So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.   In the first half of Matthew 6 (1–18), Jesus describes the Christian's private life ‘in the secret place' (giving, praying, fasting); in the second half (19–34), he is concerned with our public business in the world (questions of money, possessions, food, drink, clothing and ambition). The same contrast could be expressed regarding our ‘religious' and ‘secular' responsibilities. This distinction is false, because we cannot separate these into water-tight compartments. Indeed, the separation of the sacred from the secular in church history has been disastrous. If we are Christians, citizens of God's kingdom, then everything we do is holy because it is done in...

Friendship is a state of mutual trust and support between allied people. Is there a line that is crossed within friendships that take things to far. Have you seen circumstance where people treat friends as possessions and depend heavily on them. Is this as sign of personal insecurity ?

“So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.”  - Luke 14:33How is one to interpret the meaning of such a claim and what implications does it have within a modern context, where possessions, whether necessary or superfluous, are a normal part of the economic schema enveloping those who live in the developed world? Join the whole group as Tyler presents some ideas from a paper (see the link below) he recently wrote.  It's a rich discussion despite being all about not being rich. You can read the paper here: Discipleship and PossessionsAlso, if you haven't already, check out our earlier episode: #056: Happy Are You Poor, where we dive deeper into the Catholic Tradition of voluntary poverty.

Money is a necessity and let's admit it, it matters to everyone. But, in the Christian world, there are diverse beliefs about wealth, money, and spending, some of them opposing, that we find ourselves struggling to reconcile our beliefs with the way we create wealth and handle money. What are your thoughts about money and spending? Are you aware of the role money plays in your life? And what does the Bible say about money? Alex Cook of Wealth With Purpose joins us today to help us ponder these questions. He asserts that getting a biblical worldview of wealth and money is as crucial as getting your heart right. The Bible, Alex says, gives us great truths to steer us through the ways we think about our money and our spending. Click now and let's get into money matters in light of God's truth.Key Points From This Episode: Alex's current location and preoccupation.Alex shares the backstory of how he got involved in business ministry.What led Alex to give up his business and start his business ministry?The challenges and rewards of trusting and fulfilling God's calling and growing in the process.Alex's definition of Christian stewardship and some practical ways that stewardship can be implemented in our lives.What are some barriers to growing in generosity and obeying God in stewardship? Alex's advice on retirement and “finishing the race”.Alex's top advice for people wanting to grow in generosity and impact.Alex answers the mentor-minute questions.Tweetables:“If you're going to preach and teach on money, you need to be in good shape with money.”“Does your money-spending reflect a heart that's sold out to God?”“Good stewardship starts with how you spend your money. Are you spending it wisely?”“Christians need to reflect God's character. So, if God is generous, we need to be generous.” “Move more toward having that internal focus and directing our budgets toward things that are going to last rather than temporal things.” “We need to get rid of this scarcity mentality that once it's given, it's gone. God has no lack of resources.”Links Mentioned:Wealth With PurposeMoney, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy AlcornThe Kingdom Investor Podcast on LinkedInAbout Alex CookAlex Cook is the CEO & Founder of Wealth with Purpose, an organization that equips Christians to honor God with their finances, by teaching them sound financial planning skills based on the wisdom of the Bible.

We're back into the Becoming Like Jesus Series, picking up Luke's gospel again. We dive into the first part of chapter 9. There is a massive interplay between faith, and being sent on mission - a test for the disciples with a practical lesson for us. Jesus puts the issues squarely in front of us asking what we think will enhance and save our life, and what will diminish and lose it… it's not what our culture has taught us to answer!   Thanks for listening to this episode of the House of Learning podcast.

Who are you? How would you answer this question?   In the coming weeks, we'll explore the stories of nine different characters in the Bible, who each tried to build their identities in all the wrong places, and then discovered the kind of wholeness that only God can give. And in considering their lives, we'll discover the identity traps we fall into, and the identity Christ offers us that changes everything.   In this sermon, we explore a biblical and theological framework for understanding our identity and mapping our own hearts.   Identity is, at its core, a sense of self. It distinguishes us from the people around us. It gives clarity to our place in this world. And it turns out that a sense of self is meaningful when it meets three, deep-seated, underlying needs:   Significance Security Satisfaction   Now, this is where theology comes in, because the Bible tells us that we were created in the image and likeness of God. We were created to know God as our Father, and to know ourselves as His sons and daughters. In other words, we were made to find our identity as children of God.   And as children of God, we were made:   To find our significance in His esteem. To find our security in His care. To find our satisfaction in His pleasure.   That's the identity we were made for: to live as a child beloved by the Father.   But, we are sinners by nature and by choice; our sins have separated us from God.   So instead of children… we find ourselves orphans. We wake up in the universe estranged from the God were meant to call “Father.” We wake up as orphans. Our orphan hearts start trying to find identity elsewhere.   Consequently, there are three primary strategies we employ to get our identity needs met apart from God. We look to find our identity through:   People Power Possessions   Our Orphan hearts try to build an identity seeking Significance, Security, and Satisfaction from the creation instead of the Creator! To use the language of Romans 1: we've exchanged the glory of the immortal God for created things. In essence, that's what idolatry is. Whenever we look to anything other than God for our ultimate significance, security, and satisfaction.   Whatever that is becomes our functional god, and we serve and sacrifice and offer up whatever it takes to get our deep identity needs met. It's idolatry.   The lie of Satan is that we're better off fending for ourselves, getting our deep identity needs for significance, security, and satisfaction met through people, power, or possessions. Anywhere other than our Heavenly Father.   And so we go out into the world trying to get our deep identity needs met. We pursue people, not so much to love them, but so that we can get our needs met. We acquire power, not so much to serve others, but so that we can secure ourselves. We amass possessions, not so much to share generously, but so we can enjoy ourselves.   The whole of our identity starts caving inward when we live as orphans. We go into the world needy, consuming, taking. It's less about what we can give, and it's more about what we can get. Because as an orphan, I've got to find my own identity; I've got to get my own significance, my own security, and my own satisfaction.   Because we are estranged from God through sin, by default we learn to build our identity and cope through life as orphans.   And so most of us, one of these three deep identity needs becomes dominant. We all need significance, security, and satisfaction, but one tends to loom large in our hearts. And then we tend to learn toward People, Power, or Possessions as our primary strategy to get that identity need met.   But then, in the mercy and grace of God, He sent us Jesus to take all our broken, sinful identities upon himself, to give us his own righteous identity instead, and to fill us with the Holy Spirit.   Do you realize what this means? By the mercy of the Father, in the grace of Jesus, and by power of the Spirit, you can begin to live as Children once more!   Which means we can live from the deep resources of our Good Father as His beloved children:   He gives us the Significance of his honor. He gives us the Security of his love. He gives us the Satisfaction of his joy.   And having received His nourishment for our deep identity needs, we move out into the world in strength. We can approach people in love. We can use power to serve. We can hold possessions with generosity.   Every day this choice is before us: Who am I?   Am I an orphan that has to fend for himself, using people, power, and possessions to meet my deep identity needs?   Or am I a child of God? By grace through faith resting in the deep Significance, utter Security, and profound Satisfaction that are mine in Christ… such that I'm filled up to pour myself out for the sake of others!   How do we do this? We get close to our Father, so we remember who He is, so we remember who we are, so we can remember to act like ourselves.   Romans 8:14-17   Living the Message episode: https://youtu.be/UwUNqFQWrH4   Questions about this sermon can be emailed to: livingthemessage@moodychurch.org                    

learn how to ask about your possessions

The things that we own can be central to our identity, part of how we see ourselves and how other people see us. Russell Belk, PhD, of York University, talks about the role our possessions play in our lives; what drives collectors to collect items as disparate as stamps, art and Pez dispensers; how the word “possessions” can encompass physical, digital and even completely intangible items; and how has the rise of the sharing economy is changing the way people think about the importance of ownership.

“Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and reveling in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.” –Eric Weiner In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Eric discuss the tendency of travelers to idealize the very recent bygone past in places, and Rolf's experience of traveling by freighter ship (2:00); Eric's satisfaction in returning to places he's visited before, such as India, and how to remain open to uncertainty and surprise on the road (9:30); how conversations about travel differ from generation to generation, culture to culture, person to person (20:00); what it was like for Eric to have his book The Geography of Bliss adapted into a TV show, and the nuances behind the concept of "happiness" (28:30); how the experience of travel is inevitably intertwined with the experience of home (38:00); how luxury hotels can insulate you from the experience of a place, and how "adventure travel" is modern concept (43:30); and how Eric's relationship to home, and to time, has changed over the years (58:30). Eric Weiner (@Eric_Weiner) is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and speaker. His books include The Socrates Express, and The Geography of Bliss, which is being made into a six-part docu-series, featuring actor Rainn Wilson, and due to air on NBC's Peacock streaming service.

Commonplace Quotes: A good story isn't told to make a point. A good story reflects the World God created. The point makes itself. Timothy Rollins “Blessed be Pain and Torment and every torture of the Body … Blessed be Plague and Pestilence and the Illness of Nations…. “Blessed be all Loss and the Failure of Friends and the Sacrifice of Love…. “Blessed be the Destruction of all Possessions, the Ruin of all Property, Fine Cities, and Great Palaces…. “Blessed be the Disappointment of all Ambitions…. “Blessed be all Failure and the ruin of every Earthly Hope…. “Blessed be all Sorrows, Torments, Hardships, Endurances that demand Courage…. “Blessed be these things–for of these things cometh the making of a Man….” Hugh Walpole I will not walk with your progressive apes, erect and sapient. Before them gapes the dark abyss to which their progress tends – if by God's mercy progress ever ends, and does not ceaselessly revolve the same unfruitful course with changing of a name. I will not treat your dusty path and flat, denoting this and that by this and chat, your world immutable wherein no part the little maker has with maker's art. I bow not yet before the Iron Crown, nor cast my own small golden sceptre down. J. R. R. Tolkien, from “Mythopoeia” A Selection from “The Secular Masque” by John Dryden All, all of a piece throughout; Thy chase had a beast in view; Thy wars brought nothing about; Thy lovers were all untrue.

It's time to see what Jesus taught about money, possessions, accumulating wealth, and generosity. This week the ACP guys look at the "least of these" - who are they and how are Christians expected to interact with them? And are all Jesus-followers required to give away all of their possessions?

It is remarkable how small random decisions you make can take you to the most unexpected places that define a lifetime vocation. Take, for example, saying yes, albeit reluctantly, to an invitation to a trip to an unfamiliar country in an unexplored continent. Who knew that even an unenthusiastic “yes” could forever change one's life?Today, let's listen to the story of a life changed by saying yes to God. Doug Cobb, managing partner at the Finishing Fund, joins us to talk about the journeys he's taken in his life - from finding great success setting up tech startup companies and selling them at gainful margins to leveraging business success to advance God's work in the world. His most epiphanic journey, however, took him to Africa. Click now and listen to why this trip changed his understanding of himself and the world and defined the trajectory of his life. Key Points From This Episode: Doug's personal and family background.The highlight of Doug's week.A summary of Doug's career.The factors that led to Doug's success in business.Where does Doug find significance in life?The story of how God shaped Doug from a heart and generosity perspective.What is The Finishing Fund and what's the vision that God has put in Doug's heart?Stories of the Finishing Fund's impact on people groups in remote areas of the world.What's the next stage for The Finishing Fund?The biggest challenge to finishing the great commission.Steps needed to take The Finishing Fund 2.0 to fruition.Lessons that Doug learned from failure.Doug answers the mentor-minute questions.Tweetables:“Lives only make sense in retrospect”“I'm really thankful for the times when I said yes to God and stepped out.”“I have seen how God has over and over again, answered my prayers, provided what we've needed, introduced me to people, build relationships, have money show up that I hadn't even asked for.”“It's not enough to just declare, “yes, this will work”.

A trip from San Diego to Portland is turning into a nightmare for a man looking to start a new life.He was driving a U-Haul truck, with everything he owned when he parked in Oakland to rest up at a friend's house and he woke up to find everything gone. “So, I'm moving from San Diego to Portland, this was my overnight pit stop,” said Tony.That pit stop in Oakland turned into a horrible experience for him.It was supposed to be a new beginning for the high-end bicycle designer.  He packed up everything he owned in this U-Haul van and said it's ending up like a bad dream.“Anything from my pants to my trash can, computer to my bed frame. Visualize any room in your house and whatever is in it, is gone,” said Tony.His entire life was inside the U-Haul, which included family heirlooms from Germany. Also stolen, his vintage Volkswagen that was in tow.That was Saturday morning and after reporting the theft to police, he then took to social media for help.“Volkswagon groups, other areas of the internet that are here to help. It was shared, multiplied quickly and slowly I started getting information saying ‘hey you should go look here some of the crime hot spots where stolen things are taken,'” said Tony. Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

Israel was baptized through the Red Sea. They sang a song of victory and rejoiced in the grace of God. But... most of those celebrating that day did not make it home to the promised land. Why not? Pride. They began to feel entitled, and that caused them to turn attention from God to themselves. Part of our episode today will investigate the  mistakes of Israel in I Corinthians 10. How can we be less like them, more dependent on God, and beautifully humble? We will also list 8 things from Kevin Deyoung's book, Crazy Busy. These words, all starting with the letter P (its a Letter P day!) represent more subtle ways that pride sneaks into our lives. Having sought humility in these things, you and I will be better positioned, at the foot of God's throne, to be more useful to Him."A Manifestation of the Many Manifestations of Pride" (pg 35-38)- People Pleasing- Pats on the Back- Performance Evaluation- Proving Myself- Possessions- Prestige- Pity- PostingOoh, I see some of my own pride in that list. But what does our year look like if we know where we need to be humble? If we ask the question: "is this about me? And if it was about God and others, how different would it look?" May the Lord, who has blessed us in His grace and Spirit and Son, use us well and give us a life of gratitude, thankfulness, and service. 

Andy Geleris is a neurologist from California and author of Money & Salvation: An Invitation to the Good Way. Though he didn't grow up in a Christian family, there were several strong experiences of generosity that had a lasting impact on him at a young age. After becoming a Christian at age 17, Andy was fortunate to find a strong, faithful church where the gospel was preached. It was in that church community where he heard that growing in discipleship always requires growing in generosity – a message that has shaped his trajectory since that time. Since that time, Andy has continued to grow a deep heart for generosity, not just for the impact that it has on those around us, but for the way it radically shapes our own hearts. Andy has written and spoken extensively about the importance of a generosity-filled life and shares his thoughts on topics like giving anonymously, the mistakes organizations make when fundraising, why a generous lifestyle is just as important for the poor, and eternal rewards as they relate to generosity. Listen now to hear all he had to share! QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I hope that this message of a financial finish line will start being preached in pulpits across this country.” “Luther famously said their are three conversions everybody needs: the first is the head, the second is the heart, and the third is the wallet.” “One of the most important ways I can see if I believe is how I spend my money.” “What Jesus cares about is not how much money we give, but how much lifestyle.” “It's almost like I have a little nuclear reactor of joy in the pit of my stomach.” “I think God cares more about my giving than about how effective that giving is.” “Every time Jesus talked about money, he talked about why giving was important for the soul of the person to whom he was talking.” “We are robbing poor people by not showing them how valuable spiritually it is for them to give even small amounts.” “Poor people have a tremendous advantage in earning eternal rewards.” “It turns out having wealth is not just working hard. It's not just being smart. It's not just taking advantage of god opportunities. It's something as fundamental as having simple, good physical health.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Andy's book, Money & Salvation: An Invitation to the Good Way Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn Operation Mobilization Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Eternal Perspective Ministries (Randy Alcorn) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Romans 10:9 | How to Be Saved If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Matthew 7:22-23 | I Never Knew You 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' Luke 21:1-4 | The Widow's Offering 1 Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, 2 and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3 And he said, “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. 4 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Proverbs 30:8 | Poverty and Riches Give me neither poverty nor riches Deuteronomy 8:18 | The Source of Wealth You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
