Podcasts about remain faithful

Gospel of Mark chapter 13 records Jesus' teaching about future events, often called the Olivet Discourse. He warns His disciples about deception, persecution, wars, and tribulations that will occur before His return. Jesus encourages believers not to be alarmed but to endure faithfully, knowing that the Gospel must be proclaimed to all nations. He emphasizes that no one knows the exact day or hour of His coming, calling His followers to live with spiritual alertness, readiness, and unwavering faith. This chapter reminds us to trust God's sovereignty, remain steadfast during trials, and always be prepared for Christ's return.

The Portage church of Christ is a group of pre-denominational Christians that are striving to serve the Lord together. Our goal is to please God, and we believe that the best way to do that is to follow the pattern that was established by the churches in the first century and revealed in the New Testament. We have no creed or doctrine except the Bible and we follow the Bible only. We strive for unity in the teaching of New Testament doctrine. Our congregation is not part of, or subject to, any larger man-made religious organization. We are a completely autonomous congregation. We are locally governed, just as the church in the first century was. How does one becomes a member of this church congregation? The exact same way as seen in the Biblical accounts. On the day of Pentecost following Jesus' resurrection, people who repented and were baptized were saved (Acts 2:38) and the saved were added to the church (Acts 2:47). These saved people were members of the body, or church (Colossians 1:18). To become a Christian, the Bible teaches: Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58, Heb. 11:6) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5) Confess Jesus as Lord (Matt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16) Remain Faithful to Christ (Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim 4:7-8)

We can remain faithful stewards as we invest in our love for Christ and receive afresh of His love for us.

During Student Takeover Weekend, student Cole delivered an encouraging message about remaining faithful to God even when the process feels long, repetitive, or uncertain. Looking at the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho, he reminded the church that obedience often requires trusting God before we can see the outcome. Cole challenged listeners to keep following God faithfully day after day, even when it feels like nothing is changing, knowing that God is still working behind the scenes. Through passages in Joshua and Hebrews 11, he showed that breakthrough often comes after seasons of perseverance, courage, and unwavering faith. Ultimately, the message encouraged the church to stay strong, trust God's timing, and believe that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.

Today we are going to finish our study of this amazing Book of Jude. In verses 17-25 we'll see how Jude encouraged believers to stand firm against false teachers by remembering apostolic warnings, building themselves up in faith, praying in the Spirit and by keeping in God's love. Jude also urged the believers to show mercy to those doubting and to save others. And he concluded with a wonderful doxology praising God's power to keep believers from stumbling. Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Even when the people around you turn away from God, He sees and remembers those who stay faithful. God is patient and gives people time to repent, so His silence should never be mistaken for approval of evil. Because of His longsuffering, it can seem like the wicked prosper while the faithful are overlooked, but a day is coming when God will clearly separate those who truly serve Him from those who do not. Until then, outward success is not a reliable sign of God's blessing, and believers must remain faithful without letting the prosperity of sinful people cause them to lose sight of salvation. __________ Malachi 3:16–18 NLT, Exodus 34:6 NLT, 2 Peter 3:8–9 NIV, Matthew 13:28–30 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

To become a Christian, the Bible teaches: Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God (John 8:24, 58, Heb. 11:6) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, 5) Confess Jesus as Lord (Matt. 10:32-33, Rom. 10:9-10) Be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16) Remain Faithful to Christ (Rev. 2:10, 2 Tim 4:7-8)

On February 15th, Bob ingle preached from John 15:8-16:5 in the fifty-third message of our series through the Gospel of John.

What do you do when life squeezes you from every side; financially, emotionally, relationally and staying faithful feels costly? In Revelation 2:8–11, Jesus writes to the church in Smyrna, a church under intense pressure, public opposition, and real loss. They weren't comfortable, admired, or thriving by the world's standards; yet Jesus calls them rich. This message explores how pressure doesn't create faith, it reveals it; why faithfulness isn't about comfort but conviction; and how staying faithful now has eternal weight later. If you're feeling pressed, tempted to compromise, or wondering where God is in the middle of your struggle, this message is for you.

Steadfastness—endurance and patience under pressure—is an active, Spirit-powered response to trials that God uses to shape us into Christlikeness, proving His presence and refining our faith rather than signaling His absence.

✣ Free Neville Goddard PDF: manifestwithneville.com✣ God Mode 2025 Retreat: https://godmoderetreats.com✣ God Mode Course: https://unlockgodmode.org----------------------In The Foundation Stone: Imagination, Neville Goddard teaches that imagination is the foundation of reality. He explains that the universe responds to our imaginative acts, and nothing exists independently of perception. The Bible's "foundation stone" symbolizes imagination, which many reject, yet it is the true creative power. Using Peter's story, Neville illustrates how belief wavers when people turn to external efforts instead of trusting imagination. He emphasizes the importance of unwavering faith, patience, and detachment from the "how" of manifestation. Through real-life examples, he shows how persistence in imagination leads to success in unexpected ways.Key Concepts & ApplicationImagination is the Creative Power → Everything in your life is a reflection of your imagination.Remain Faithful to Your Assumption → Once you imagine a desired outcome, do not doubt or try to force it externally.The Universe Responds → What you vividly assume as true will manifest in ways you cannot predict.Rejection of the "Stone" → Many ignore imagination's power and instead rely on external effort.Patience is Key → Some manifestations take time; do not waver or react negatively if results aren't immediate.All is Connected → Your thoughts and emotions influence others, shaping reality beyond your awareness. ***Download the free Neville Goddard PDF Guide at manifestwithneville.com - Discover the transformative power of Neville Goddard's wisdom with this FREE 60-page guide on his 12 timeless principles of manifestation and reality creation.★ Follow the podcast for daily lectures from the mystic Neville Goddard ★FREE RESOURCES:• Join the FREE Neville Goddard newsletter• Join the FREE Telegram Channel• Feeling is the Secret • Full Audiobook* * *The James Xander Trip Podcast:• Listen on Spotify• Listen on Apple Podcasts• Listen on YouTubeDIVE DEEPER:• The Unlock God Mode Course• The Infinite Wealth Guided Meditation* * *ABOUT NEVILLE GODDARD:Neville Goddard (1905-1972), was an English writer, speaker and mystic. He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Sometimes life is amazing; And sometimes we must take up our cross and follow Jesus. Our Lectionary brings us the story of men who chose to turn to God even when their neighbours didn't listen, even when the people around them persecuted them and oppressed them, even when turning to God meant a long, difficult journey that would result in more pain and suffering. But they still walked after God.
