Podcasts about sacrificially

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Love. This rich, often misused word in our culture is all over the Bible. We seem to hold it loosely in today's culture. Using the word love to say we love a particular food, the way something looks, or how we feel about things, people, and activities. How many times have you proclaimed, “I love this and such!” These cultural exhortations don't meet the biblical standard of love we are commanded to show as followers of Jesus Christ. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to the greatest commandment in Matthew 22:37-39. We are told, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. 1 John 4:19 gives us the added standard of we love because he (God) first loved us. How did Jesus love us? Sacrificially, unconditionally, and wholly. He loved us so much he died for our sins. God's love is not loose. God's love is described as steadfast and enduring, sacrificial, unconditional, personal, and transformative. This is a hesed love. Often translated as lovingkindness, mercy, and steadfast love. It encompasses how much God loves us, and how he shows love for us. As we focus on how to show God's love to others and remember that God's love is constant, we also need to be honest with ourselves. There are worldly blocks that keep us from showing God's love to others. As the world creeps in, the love we are called to show gets dimmed. One of the fruits of the spirit I often need to work on is patience or long-suffering. Of course, the opposite of patience is impatience. One of the ways we can show people God's love is through how we display patience. When we are the opposite—impatient—we can scarcely show love. How patient was God with you in your sin? In your wandering? Before you accepted Jesus? What about after? Clearly, we are having a conversation about being impatient believers. Guess what, God is still patient with us, bearing with us in our sin. Impatience can show itself in how we deal with others and how we deal with situations. Sometimes at the same time! Romans 12:12 tells us to rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. It is natural to impatiently await the end of a hard trial in our lives. Whether it is a health hardship, financial hardship, or something else, what matters is how we show others how we are dealing with whatever it is. Part of showing God's love in tribulation is modeling how our understanding and belief in his faithfulness. It can open conversations with others about why we are different and give us a wonderful opportunity to talk about God's love for us! We may also be impatiently waiting to hear about something good! Perhaps it is a promotion or a new job. Again, are you impatiently displaying your waiting, or are you telling others how you trust God's timing for you. Being filled with impatience whether in the waiting or a trial doesn't leave us much room to think about how we can love others. Ephesians 4:2 tells us we should act with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. But what about when you don't feel very patient and loving? Is there a person at work who is on your last nerve? Whether it is a colleague, boss or subordinate, how can you be patient with them even when you really don't want to? Romans 12:12 offers some of the best advice—be constant in prayer. When I am feeling impatient, this is my go-to. I pray to God to give me the patience he has shown to me. And I ask others to pray very specifically for my patience! I find a close follower of impatience to be judgement. Whether it is judging ourselves harshly or judging someone else, we clearly block both experiencing God's love ourselves or showing it to others. 2 Corinthians 5:10 reminds us that we all must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the ...

What if robbing God is actually robbing ourselves when we do so? We miss out on blessings when we disobey God because we feel the costs are too high. What if the costs are to high to NOT obey? What if our predicaments now that we're in is actually due to past disobedience, and the only way out now actually is our obedience?

This week, we're looking at a conversation where Jesus drops a bombshell: Following Him isn't about gaining power, comfort, or status—it's about losing yourself for something greater. This was shocking for His disciples, and honestly, it's still shocking for us today. Join us for Refuel! We're in Mark 8:31-9:1.For the message notes, click here.

Ministry in the church means that you will get heavily involved in other people's lives. Sacrificially giving yourself for them can lead to some extreme emotions when hurt comes, but how should pastors and counselors deal with the death of someone they are ministering to? In this episode, Dr. O shares points from his lecture on this subject based from his lived experience both past and present. If believers remain in Christ, His power will give us the grace we need in the darkest moments.Connect with us!Website – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠soulcare.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email – soulcarenomad@gmail.comFacebook – ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Soul Care Nomad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. O's X profile –⁠⁠⁠@jonokinaga⁠

Title: Serving Sacrificially Speaker: Dewey DovelSeries: Serving the Lord Together Date: March 1, 2025Bible: Romans 12

A message on the subject of sacrificial service from Romans 12. This sermon was delivered to the members of Christ the Redeemer Church (Pine Bluff, Arkansas).

Real love requires supernatural strength and goes far beyond superficial expressions of affection. Drawing from Ephesians 5, true love manifests through submission, service, and sacrifice - qualities that demonstrate authentic strength rather than weakness. Real men earn respect through compassion and service rather than demanding it through force. This kind of love involves genuine connection, recognizing others' God-given value, and willingly sacrificing personal comfort for others' needs.

In this episode, we see that David's son, Absalom, is undermining David and flattering people to gain power and control. We are challenged to instead live in the way of Jesus, which is to look out for the needs of others above ourselves.

Giving is supposed to be a source of great joy for God's people. But sometimes, we act like it's just another pain in our wallet.Christians are supposed to be generous, but maybe you're having trouble getting excited about the idea. Today, we'll point you back to the radical joy of godly generosity.Has Your Giving Become Automatic?Let's start with an honest confession—has your Sunday donation become a routine, more about the habit than the heart? Or maybe you've been cutting back on giving due to financial challenges, and guilt is starting to creep in. Perhaps you and your spouse are facing tension over financial decisions, making discussions about giving stressful and uncomfortable.If your generosity feels stale or joyless, it's time to hit reset. A renewed perspective on giving can not only restore your joy but also realign your heart with God's purposes.Christian Generosity Is DifferentUnlike the world's view of generosity, where recognition, self-esteem, or even a building with our name on it might be the end goal, Christian generosity is rooted in serving a different Master. It's not about impressing others; it's about imitating Christ.Ephesians 5:1 reminds us: “…be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”Jesus' love for us led him to give everything on the cross, and we follow his example when we give radically, sacrificially, and joyfully.Sometimes, the action of giving must come before the feeling. Even when joy is absent, continue to give in faith. The joy will come because generosity pleases God, and He is faithful to guide your heart as you seek Him in this area.Cultivating a Biblical Attitude About GivingWhat does biblical giving look like? It's more than just putting money in the offering plate. Scripture teaches that our giving should be secret, open-handed, cheerful, loving, and sacrificial.1. Secret, Not ShowyJesus calls us to give in secret so that the glory goes to God, not ourselves. In Matthew 6, He warns us to “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them…But when you give to the needy, do not let your right hand know what your left is doing.”2. Open-Handed, Not Stingy2 Corinthians 9:6-7 encourages us:“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”What we have isn't ours—it's God's. Knowing that He is our provider allows us to give freely, whether it's our time, talents, or treasure.3. Cheerful, Not ReluctantGod loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). Cheerfulness in giving may not come naturally, but God can transform your heart. Pray for Him to help you find joy in generosity because this is His desire for you.4. From Love, Not ObligationGiving that pleases God flows from love—love for Him and love for others. It's not something we manufacture; it's the Holy Spirit working in us, cultivating a heart of love and compassion.5. Sacrificial, Not ConvenientSacrificial giving stretches us to become more like Christ. 2 Corinthians 8:9 reminds us: “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”Giving sacrificially is an act of trust, believing that God will meet our needs while we meet the needs of others.Giving That Glorifies GodTo sum up, giving that honors God will be secret, open-handed, cheerful, loving, and sacrificial. As you embrace these attitudes, you'll find spiritual growth and joy because ultimately, it's all about God receiving the glory. John 3:21 says:“Whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”As followers of Christ, we desire to be more like Him in every way, including how we give. But sometimes, we might find ourselves giving out of guilt, reluctance, or a desire to impress others. If that's where you are today, ask Jesus to transform your heart. Pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance as you practice Christian generosity, knowing that God will not only provide for your needs but also bless others through you.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have $30,000 I'd like to invest, but I need to figure out where to put it. Where should I invest the money?My brother and sister have a trust with three houses in it. My sister has since died, but my brother is still alive, and the trust has money in it already. He is thinking about selling one of the houses. Does the money have to go to the trust, or can he keep it?I'm a retired widow, and when my husband was living, we had just gotten another car. Now that I don't have his income, I am drawing some widow benefits from him. I keep getting mail to refinance at a cheaper rate because I'm trying to build my credit.

We assume that the way to have the best life is to love your life. But Jesus said this common intuition is incorrect. It is counterintuitive both intellectually and emotionally that dying would be the path to fruition in life. The truth is that the cross and its impact upon our lives is the very last thing that we would expect, and yet it is the path to newness of life. John 12:20-26 Learn more about your ad choices.

Acts 1:3-8SACRIFICIAL MISSION 52% of Christians who attend church monthly and say their faith is important and agree they have a responsibility to share their beliefs.Barna Group73% of Christians belief it was their responsibility to share their faith, but only 52% have actually shared their faith at least once with someone in the last year.Telling the Gospel31% of Christians believe they are not called to share their beliefs.Lifeway Research18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:18-19 The degree of sacrifice as well as the kind of sacrifice will vary, depending on context and calling. Some will work in the slums of Africa, others will raise a large family; some will take on a job that pays a low salary, others will make lots of money and give most of it away. There is no absolute rule to follow here, no perfect standard against which to measure both quality and quantity of sacrifice. Comparisons are simply out of the question. Only one truth applies to all: the ultimate sacrifice we make should be the whole of ourselves to God. And then we should simply let life take its course.Gerald SittserIf we take the Christian faith seriously, we will probably end up traveling somewhere or loving someone or trying something we would never have imagined at an earlier stage in our lives. It is simply what a life of disciples requires.Gerald SittserSacrificial Mission: We pursue sacrificial missions by giving, serving, and loving sacrificially in our homes, our Church, our community, and the world.Serving-focused Missions: overemphasizes meeting the physical needs of others and downplays the power of the Gospel.  4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, 5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii[b] and given to the poor?” 6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that she may keep it[c] for the day of my burial. 8 For the poor you always have with you, but you do not always have me.”John 12:4-8Conversion-focused Missions: overemphasizes the moment of salvation rather than inviting people into a life-long devotion to Jesus. This downplays the really physical needs people face and also downplays the importance of discipleship.15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[b] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.James 2:15-16Jesus-focused Missions: sees people created in the image of God and is moved with compassion for the WHOLE person; spirit, soul, body, relationships, world, etc.After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?”John 6:1-5Jesus-focused ministry is moved with compassion based off of the need we see, not what is convenient for us.Luke mentioned that on this occasion Jesus went out to a deserted place to be alone (Luke 9:10), yet the crowds followed Him there. In spite of this imposition, Jesus still served the multitude with great compassion.David GuzikGod chose to risk everything in the incarnation; such a risk was costly beyond measure. But the incarnation also reminds us that the risk is worth taking. Our salvation is proof of that. God calls us to take risks too, following, however inadequately, the example that Jesus set. Gerald SittserThe God who loves to have an outgoing Image of his Son loves to have many images of his love (who are themselves outgoing).Michael Reeves15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Colossians 1:15Myth: People could use Jesus, but they don't NEED Him.Reality: People are separated from God, and have the ability to be eternally separated from Him.For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:“None is righteous, no, not one;11    no one understands;     no one seeks for God.12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;     no one does good,     not even one.”Romans 3:9-1213 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[c] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:13-15 Myth: I cost is too muchReality: Wherever you go, there you are.Myth: The work is too muchJerusalem - where Jesus was executed at the word of an angry mobJudea - rejected His ministrySamaria - regarded as a wasteland of impure half-breedsThe ends of the Earth - the Gentiles were seen by some Jews of that day as nothing better than fuel for the fires of Hell.Reality: Small risks. Everyday. If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just oneMother TheresaMyth: Somebody else will do itReality: Purpose over privilegeI must look only to the end for which I am created, that is, for the praise of God our Lord and for the Salvation of my soul. Therefore, whatever I choose must have as its purpose to help me to this end. St. Ignatius
