Podcasts about redeeming

In Part 7 of Jesus Revealed in Every Book of the Bible, Pastor Verna DeHart traces “The Scarlet Thread Through Scripture” in her powerful message, Judges & Ruth: Our Righteous Judge and Redeeming Kinsman. Recorded on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, this sermon reveals how Jesus stands at the center of two seemingly contrasting books—one marked by chaos and cycles of sin, the other by covenant love and redemption.The book of Judges exposes a tragic spiritual pattern: forgetting God, falling into sin, oppression, crying out, deliverance—only to repeat the cycle again. “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Pastor Verna shows us that willpower cannot break sin cycles—only a King can. Jesus is not a temporary deliverer; He is our Righteous Judge for all generations. Under His authority, truth is no longer relative, and sin no longer has dominion.Then in the midst of national chaos, the book of Ruth reveals redemption at work. Ruth, a widow in a foreign land, chooses covenant over convenience and obedience over comfort. When she sows faithfully under God's covering, Boaz declares blessing over her life. Her story becomes a prophetic picture of Jesus—our true Kinsman Redeemer—who became like us, paid the price, and restored our inheritance.From Ruth to Obed, from Obed to Jesse, from Jesse to David—and from David to Christ—the scarlet thread of redemption was weaving a Savior even in Israel's darkest days.This episode will encourage you to:• Live under the authority of Jesus, your Righteous Judge• Break free from destructive cycles through grace• Trust that redemption is working, even in seasons of lack• Declare that nothing in your story is wasted

He emphasizes the significance of vulnerability and mere presence in building connections with his children, while also addressing his own insecurities.

In Luke 6:12–36, Jesus forms a people for his kingdom and then teaches them how kingdom life works. As Children of the Most High our lives should resemble the love and mercy we've received from God our Father. As Christians, Jesus commands us to love our enemies, bless others, pray for those who have hurt us and give freely without demanding payback. Tune into this week's message and discover how you too can live with mercy and compassion that mirrors the mercy God has shown you in Christ.

Stephen Boyce gives the case that Origen can possibly still be made a saint by the Catholic Church.

Ruth and Boaz exhibit faith in courageous action. Going to the threshing floor meant putting everything on the line, yet Ruth goes and makes a proposal to Boaz. In knowing he is a redeemer, they both understand the Lord's provision here, and the matter will be settled in the morning. These two point the greater love story of Christ our Redeemer sheltering us under His wings. However this life plays out, we are to be faithful, knowing that the Lord's faithfulness endures forever.

Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes, this message explores how the "meaningless" toil of our daily lives—from New Year's resolutions to our favorite hobbies—is often like a fleeting vapor that we simply cannot grasp. However, when we shift from a life lived "under the sun" to one lived with an eternal perspective, our routine tasks are redeemed into significant opportunities for ministry. By centering our ambitions on the grace of Jesus Christ, we discover how to turn the "puff of smoke" that is our daily schedule into a lasting bridge for the Gospel

Dr. Christina Crenshaw exposes how justice detached from its theological roots reshapes culture, institutions, and identity.

How does the new covenant relate to the old covenant? What role does the Sabbath play in the life of 21st Century believers living under the new covenant? In this week's sermon, Pastor Alex unpacks these questions and more as he delivers a sermon centered on Luke 5:33-6:11, in which he shows that Christ is Lord over the Sabbath and our lives.

Naomi's attitude has gone from bitter to hopeful as she guides Ruth towards Boaz. Knowing he's a redeemer, Naomi encourages her daughter in law, and Ruth listens. Often God can feel distant, we can feel in the dark, but the Lord is always at work in His providence. Noting happens apart from His will and plan, even when we can't see it.

02/08/2025 Generous: Redeeming the Days     Ephesians 5:15-17Big Idea: The way you spend your time determines the direction of your life.Sometimes we live as if we have an unlimited amount of time to live. We need to spend more time being with Jesus (think Mary), and less time doing for Him (think Martha).When it comes to time in our lives:1. Wisdom shows up in how you spend your time. (v 15) Does God actually care about out time the same way He cares about our money? Our lives need to reflect our relationship with Jesus. The life you live tomorrow is being shaped by the time you steward today.2. Time isn't owned, it's entrusted. (v 16) The time we are given to live is valuable, we need to be wise in how we choose to spend it. See Psalm 90:12.3. God's direction becomes clearer when your time is ordered. (v 17) Is your schedule crowding out God's voice?  See Mark 1:35. If God is first in your life, He'll be first on your calendar.Wisely stewarding the time entrusted to me means I:1. Put God first on your calendar. (Matthew 6:33) The Creator of the universe wants to be in a relationship with each one of us as individuals.2. Practice Sabbath and margin. Can you commit one day a week to connect with God, and let the world spin by? 3. Be fully present where you are. We don't need new priorities, we need new attention. Presence is one of the most generous gifts you can give.4. Learn to say “no”. What is your “yes” costing you in your relationship with God?Information -> Application -> Transformation

Today’s justice movements are often dominated by secular worldviews. But what if the Bible provides Christians with an even more compelling vision for a just and flourishing society? Dr. Christina Crenshaw will join us to share her journey of learning how to integrate biblical analysis, finding examples from the present and historic church, and using stories from her own life to provide a helpful model for us for doing justice work within a solidly orthodox and biblical worldview.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever felt unworthy of God's grace? Have you ever felt too ashamed to come to Christ with your sins? If so, then this message is for you! In his message, “A Savior For Sinners,” centered on Luke 5:1-32, Pastor Josiah shows us how Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost or have tried to hide from his presence for fear that they will be rejected or condemned. God's word tells us that Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance! Therefore, today is the day to come to Jesus in repentant faith, because he alone has the power to forgive your sins.

In ordinary ways, Ruth and Boaz are experiencing God's providential kindness. They both witness to others and to one another of the Lord's faithfulness. The redemption isn't just words or a rescue, but communion. By God's grace we don't glean on the outside but are welcomed to the table and into His family.

Why does Scripture so often portray women as central to God's work of redemption—even in stories of deep dysfunction and failure? In this episode, Dr. Ingrid Faro, Old Testament scholar and interim president of Northern Seminary, joins Dru Johnson to explore her groundbreaking work in Redeeming Eden: How Women in the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation. Dr. Faro shares how her personal journey through theological trauma, cultic church experiences, and academic discovery led her to reexamine Genesis 1–3 and the women of the Bible. She explains how Hebrew terms like ezer and tzelah (often translated “helper” and “rib”) have been misunderstood, how Eve's story actually radiates hope, and how strategic female figures consistently propel salvation history forward. The conversation also tackles misinterpretations of Genesis 3:16, the patterns of dysfunction and healing across the biblical narrative, and what the Bible really says about evil. This episode is a deep and hopeful reconsideration of gender, power, and goodness within the story of Scripture.

Memory plays an important role in the Christian life, both in its proper function but also in its corruption.

Will the repeating loops ever be broken? Dr Rehrer will examine memory through the prism of the gospel to find hope in the midst of misery. Through God's redemptive plan, memory transforms from a millstone to a milestone. God removes the burdens of memory and enlivens hope in His redemption.Teaching by Dr Matt RehrerFor more information on SMTI, please click here: https://smti.co.za/ For more information on the Biblical Counsellors Association of Africa (BCAA, formerly ACBC Africa), please click here: https://bcaa.co.za/For more information on Lynnwood Baptist Church, please click here: https://lynnwoodbaptistchurch.co.za/

When pastors fall into sexual sin, adultery, or moral failure, the impact on churches, families, and individual believers can be devastating. In this episode of Redeeming Truth from Redeemer Bible Church, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with our pastors and biblical counselors to speak honestly about fallen pastors, pastoral disqualification, and how Christians can process betrayal while rebuilding trust in Christ—not in men. Drawing from real-life stories of hidden sin, long-term affairs, and leaders disqualified from ministry, this conversation addresses: Why sound theology—even Reformed doctrine—alone cannot keep a pastor from falling How discontentment, lust, pride, and heart-level idolatry fuel secret sin The ripple effects of pastoral failure on marriages, children, congregations, and communities Why pastors are "but men" who need accountability, prayer, and close fellowship How believers can grieve rightly while keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus You'll also hear: A sobering account of a large church shattered by a long-hidden affair Counseling insights on trust, trauma, disillusionment, and church discipline Biblical warnings from Luke 4:13; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1; Romans 13, and more Why discontentment often becomes the gateway sin to adultery and moral failure Howard Hendricks' findings from thousands of fallen pastors—and what they all had stopped doing If you've been hurt by a fallen pastor, fear it could happen where you worship, or are a pastor who wants to finish well, this episode offers sober warning, biblical clarity, and gospel hope.

In this episode I talk with Cody Libolt, writer, podcaster, and co-author of the new book Redeeming the West: A Christian Defense of Reason and Individualism. Cody defines both ‘reason' and ‘individualism', demonstrating how these terms are often misused in modern discourse. He discusses the dangers of collectivism for Christianity, the Biblical basis for individualism, why Christians need reason and common sense, and how the church can redeem this important Western tradition. Media Referenced:Redeeming the West: https://a.co/d/dgTeJvlCody on X: @CodyLiboltCody's Website: https://www.codylibolt.com/For the New Christian Intellectual Website: https://christianintellectual.com/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Spencer Reese welcomes Ross Alcorn from Itinerary Boss https://itineraryboss.com/ to discuss credit card points and miles strategies, with special focus on small business owners. Ross shares how he saved $19,000 on his honeymoon, reveals tactical business spending strategies, and explains how military service members can leverage TDY travel and small business expenses to fund dream vacations. Guest: Ross Alcorn - Charlotte, NC-based travel strategist, former sales rep road warrior (6-7 years), real estate investor, and founder of Itinerary Boss. Key Topics Covered Getting Started - The Low-Hanging Fruit: Sign up for FREE hotel loyalty programs (Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt) Add loyalty numbers to TDY/TAD stays retroactively if needed Military discount: Epic Pass for active duty/spouses ~$200 (normally $1,200) Start with no annual fee cards to build credit and learn the basics Never carry a balance - if you're paying interest, you're doing it wrong Business Spending Strategies: Most common mistake: Using Amex Platinum for everything (only 1x points on most purchases) Capital One Venture X Business: Uncapped 2x points, no preset credit limit Cards earning 3-4x on ad spend (Facebook, Google ads) Use Melio (M-E-L-I-O) to pay vendors who don't accept cards via ACH (2.9% fee) Negotiate early payment discounts (net 15 vs net 30) to offset processing fees Millions in business expenses going uncharged to credit cards The 2.9% Fee Debate: Worth it if redeeming points at 1.5+ cents per point value Effective 25-40% cash back when factoring welcome bonuses + transfer value Business expenses are tax deductible Ross personally pays fees on all expenses knowing he'll redeem at 2-6 cents/point Real-World Example - $19,000 Honeymoon Savings: Cards used: Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Business Unlimited Flights: Qatar Q-Suites business class using 200K points (Chase + Capital One) Stayed 11 nights using Hyatt points at Alila properties in Bali Built point stash over 1-1.5 years through group travel booking + daily spend + business welcome bonuses Strategy: Booked award availability 355 days out when British Airways/Qatar released schedules Flexibility: Mixed business and premium economy on return flight Transfer Partners & Redemption: NEVER redeem for Amazon gift cards, statement credits, or low-value portal bookings (0.6-0.7 cents/point) Transfer to airline partners for 2-6+ cents per point value Don't use Amex points for hotels (poor value) Example: 175K Amex points = potential $12,700 business class seats to South Africa Tools: Points.Yeah.com for flight availability and award searching Military-Specific Advantages: Overseas duty stations = less competition for award space (Frankfurt, Tokyo, Seoul) Different inventory than US-based flyers TDY/TAD stays earn hotel points and elite status Annual fee waivers on personal cards (not business cards) via MLA/SCRA Chase Sapphire Reserve: $0 annual fee for military/spouses Strategic Tips: Always volunteer to pay group bills/dinners (earn points, get reimbursed) Premium economy fine for daytime flights under 8-9 hours Business class essential for overnight/long-haul flights (9+ hours) Plan 1-2 years ahead for big trips - comfortable pace to build points Opening velocity: Ross did one card every 91 days at peak (very aggressive) Combine household points (Chase, Amex, Capital One allow this) Book tickets in anyone's name, not just your own Credit Card Stacking Strategy: Don't use one premium card for everything Match card to spending category for maximum points Chase "cash back" cards earn Ultimate Rewards points if you have Sapphire Reserve/Preferred Transfer between household members before booking Welcome bonuses are the real value - daily spend is bonus Business Culture Hack: Instead of $5-10K cash bonus, give employees 500K miles + book their dream trip Tax deductible, builds culture, retains talent More memorable than cash bonus IHG Five Free Nights Strategy: Five free nights at properties up to 60K points/night Ross staying 4 nights in Grand Cayman at $800/night hotel = $3,200 saved Fourth night free on award bookings Anniversary free night each year Used for wedding block, earning 26x points on wedding expenses Common Mistakes to Avoid: Not asking vendors if they accept credit cards Using wrong card for spending category (leaving 2-3x points on table) Redeeming points poorly (gift cards, statement credits) Not tracking card benefits and credits Waiting too long to book award travel Not being flexible with dates/airports Tools & Resources Mentioned: Points.Yeah.com - Award availability search, flight ideas map Melio - Pay vendors via card when they only accept ACH Plastiq - Pay rent/large bills with credit card (2.9% fee) Free Points & Miles Cheat Sheet at ItineraryBoss.com Transfer partner guide and credit card multiplier sheets Key Quotes "There's millions of dollars that aren't being put on cards because of just not asking the right questions." "If you're earning 2x points and utilizing those points to transfer, even with a 3% fee, the numbers pencil when you're redeeming at 2-6 cents per point." "175,000 Amex points could be used to get you business class, first class seats - we used 176K Chase points for $12,700 worth of business class seats to South Africa."

Eight Things Christians Are Supposed to Be Doing Right Now • Sunday Service   Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   1. Returning to Our First Love, Jesus Christ Before we do anything for God, we must be with God. This hour demands intimacy, repentance, and renewed devotion, not just activity. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV): “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.” 2. Making Disciples, Not Just Converts The assignment has never changed. We are not called to entertain the world, but to disciple it. Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV): “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” 3. Watching and Staying Spiritually Alert We are commanded to stay awake spiritually, discerning the times and refusing complacency. Matthew 24:42 (NKJV): “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” 4. Living Holy and Set Apart Lives Holiness is not optional. It is how we remain usable vessels in a dark world. 1 Peter 1:15–16 (NKJV): “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.'” 5. Redeeming the Time and Living Intentionally This is not the season to waste time on meaningless pursuits or endless distractions. Ephesians 5:15–17 (NKJV): “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” 6. Standing Firm in Truth Without Compromise The pressure to compromise is real, but the call to stand is stronger. 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NKJV): “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.” 7. Occupying Until Jesus Returns We are not waiting passively. We are working faithfully. Luke 19:13 (NKJV): “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.'” 8. Walking Daily by the Power of the Holy Spirit Christianity was never meant to be lived in human strength. Acts 1:8 (NKJV): “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Church, this is not a time to drift. It is a time to return, rebuild, refocus, and rise. God is not looking for perfect people. He is looking for surrendered, obedient, watchful, and faithful ones. The question is not what the world is doing right now. The question is whether the Church will do what God has clearly told us to do.

Special Guest, Adam Burrell from Heart Cry Missionary Society shares a message centered on Psalm 67:1-7.

In hopelessness, but not rebellion, Naomi urges her daughters-in-law away from her and the Lord, and to return back to their old way of life in Moab. It is evident that this family was close and talked about the Lord. Orpah leaves, but Ruth in faith returns with her mother-in-law and encourages her. God always meets us in the return, and gives us fellow believers to remind us of His great love and care.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, we welcomed Mr. Paul McNulty to the pulpit as he encouraged us to seek to use our time wisely as we walk in a way that's worthy of our calling.

Today we begin a conversation about her new book Redeeming Eden: How Women of the Bible Advance the Story of Salvation. Discover more about Dr. Faro HEREExplore her new book HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

Dan shares his powerful journey from growing up in a devout Muslim family in Jordan to discovering Christianity—and the personal cost he paid for following Christ.

Key topics include: Dan's dramatic conversion and the cost of faith in the Middle East How Islam is perceived and practiced in the West vs. Islamic nations The role of theology in shaping political and social behavior Rising anti-Semitism and the intersection of leftist ideology and Islamic expansion Can Islam be reformed—and what that would mean for the future Practical strategies for churches and communities to stand firm in truth Subscribe, share, and join the conversation in the comments as we unpack some of today's most urgent spiritual and cultural questions.
