Podcasts about Salvation

“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” (Romans 5:1–2 NLT) *Enjoying Pastor Greg's devotional podcast? Let us know what you think with this quick survey!* When we come to Christ, He not only forgives us of our sin, but He also justifies us. The apostle Paul explained justification in his letter to the Romans: “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us” (Romans 5:1 NLT). Salvation has to do with what takes place in believers’ hearts, but justification has to do with our standing before God. In salvation, God gives us new life, but justification goes beyond that. When God justifies us, He declares us righteous in His sight. “Just-as-if-I’d never sinned” is one way the word justified has been explained. God not only forgives us, but He sees us as if we had never sinned. He removes our sin, and in its position, He places the perfect righteousness of Christ. That’s a difficult concept for a lot of people to grasp. Our human instinct is to remember those who wronged us. We elevate holding grudges to an art form. We like to throw around phrases like, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” The Bible makes it clear, though, that God has a different way of looking at things. As far as He’s concerned, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross—the blood He shed there—covers our sins. The apostle John put it this way: “But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7 NLT). The author of Hebrews wrote, “For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22 NLT). And the apostle Paul wrote, “Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them” (Romans 4:7–8 NIV). When God looks at believers, He doesn’t see people who have failed Him time and time again. Instead, He sees His Son. And He made His feelings about His Son quite clear in Matthew 3:17: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased” (NIV). Sometimes we allow our sins to linger in our consciousness long after they’ve been forgiven. They live rent-free in our heads, messing with our self-esteem. In extreme cases, they can play havoc with our spiritual and emotional health. That’s why it’s important to see ourselves as God sees us. Imagine that your checking account is overdrawn, and you owe your bank thousands of dollars. Not knowing what else to do, you go to the ATM, enter your PIN, and discover that you have a balance of five million dollars. Best of all, it’s a legitimate transaction! You did nothing to earn it, but the windfall is yours. God has done something much more meaningful for those who believe in Christ. He has given us righteousness. He has made us justified. Reflection question: How would you explain justification to someone who’s struggling with guilt?

Hi, my love. In today's raw and reflective episode, I invite you into a personal moment of revelation that came—of all places—in the shower. As a wife, mama, and business mentor, I often hold a lot. And sometimes, I just don't want to deal with one more thing… especially bills! But this episode isn't just about finances. It's about the deeper truth many of us carry as women of faith: a longing to be rescued. Whether you were raised Christian, Catholic, atheist, or something else, I believe this desire points to something profound—the reality that we were made to be saved… and already have been. You'll hear me unpack: - What money dates and mental exhaustion revealed about my old “rescuer” patterns - Why I used to subconsciously wait for a man to save me - How New Age archetypes like "maiden vs. queen" left me searching for answers - The truth of our built-in longing for The Savior, not just a savior - How to release guilt, shame, or avoidance and step into honest conversation with Jesus - The empowering reminder that you are already loved, chosen, and saved This is for the woman who's tired of holding it all… and ready to surrender to the One who already did it all.

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we dive into the episode with a discussion on irreverent humor. We discuss times we have accidently said inappropriate jokes or made inappropriately timed jokes. This shifts into a discussion on truth and what answers we would want to know the absolute truth to. We then make a hard turn and discuss a thought Marty's wife recently presented after watching a video from Francis Chan. We unpack the weight of salvation and if we are expecting too much from people, which leads to legalistic ideas about getting saved. As always, we hope you enjoy!

This message is entitled: The Continued Reading of Pilgrim's Progress, Part 1, which includes. Section 1, entitled Cristian's Deplorable Condition, and Section 2 entitled Evangelist Directs Christian. 
The book, Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory on Salvation, written by John Bunyan, who was a Bondage of the Will preacher, in prison in England for preaching the gospel, and while he was in prison, he wrote Pilgrim's Progress, published in 1678, and still in print today, has been one of the most read Christian books in the world. Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory on salvation, and is the most accurate portrayal of salvation in an allegorical format ever written.
This book is worth reading over and over again, for what does Satan do, but he counterfeits salvation. If we think of the Bible as a wagon wheel with 66 spokes representing the 66 books of the Bible, and the hub of the will representing salvation, Satan counterfeits the hub of the wheel, and that is all he has to do to corrupt the 66 spokes, and that is how he destroys the true church. 
He never lets his foot off the accelerator, and thus the bondage of the will church must press its foot harder on the accelerator to continue to further define salvation more accurately in order to keep ahead of Satan's counterfeiting. John Bunyan in Pilgrim's Progress will put us way ahead of the curve in detecting how Satan counterfeits the scriptures, and thus every American should have a copy of Pilgm's Progress and read it over and over, not to replace our meditation on the Word of God, but to be a supplement. Pilgrim's progress is an allegory, and in this allegory, practically every paragraph, and sometimes every sentence, there is a hidden scripture that goes with it. And those of us that have read our Bibles day and night over years, every time we read Pilgrim's Progress, we will see the hidden meaning behind what John Bunyan is saying, because we will see the scriptures that he is referring to, for we know our scriptures. 
Thus in the following messages, a commentary will be given showing the Scriptures underlying the hidden meaning that we might understand the meaning of the allegorical sentences and paragraphs. Those of you that continue to listen throughout these several messages, you will be way ahead of the curve in detecting how Satan counterfeits so that you might avoid those false churches and ignorantly embrace their false doctrine. Those churches that have a false hub of the wheel, a false definition of salvation, a counterfeited salvation, what happens but the 66 spokes are tainted, that is the 66 books of the Bible are tainted, and thus without an accurate definition of salvation, we will be sucked into churches that have a false doctrine. And if we follow that false doctrine and end up in hell, what good did those churches do for us. 
they did us no good at all. So Satan is not stupid. He will always counterfeit salvation first and if he has accomplished that in a nation, if his false doctrine becomes dominant, he can pull his lever on the lazy boy, for the nation is going to go astray. , Like the moon being a reflection of the sun, so the morality of the nation is just a reflection of the doctrine of the church. Thus a dominant false doctrine will make America immoral. 
If you are a brand new creation, you're going to just love this book because when he begins to describe in an allegorical format, conversion, it will match your own conversion you've been truly converted. And hardly anywhere else can you find such an accurate description of what it's like to become a new creation. It is just wonderful, and it will give you great confirmation of your own conversion. 
And you will quickly learn how to detect others who have been falsely converted, because John Bunion does a great job of showinging us what a false conversion looks like juxtaposed to a true conversion.

What is the punishment mentioned in 2 Corinthians 10? How does it relate to “taking every thought captive”? What is the “courts of Heaven” teaching? Which verses say the Trinity never had a beginning? I'm trying to figure out if I was truly saved long ago. Also, I made a deal with God to give up my salvation in exchange for physical relief from pain. I wonder if I ruined my eternity!

A Regnum Christi Daily Meditation. Sign up to receive the text in your email daily at RegnumChristi.com

An idol is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your attention and affection more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.Idols can take on many forms: money, success, power, popularity, or physical attractiveness.  But idols can also take on human form. When you look to a person for the kind of deep affirmation and acceptance that only God can provide, it results not only in pain but in bondage.The Bible graphically illustrates this in the story of Jacob and Leah. Jacob had a twin brother, Esau. Esau was their father, Isaac's favorite—his idol. Because of this, Esau grew up proud, willful, and impulsive, while Jacob grew up cynical, bitter, and conniving. After Jacob deceived his father and received the blessing Esau desired, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. So, Jacob fled for his life. He ended up in his Uncle Laban's house, where he got a job tending sheep. There he met Laban's daughters—Leah and Rachel. Leah had “weak eyes,” while Rachel was beautiful. Jacob was utterly smitten by the lovely Rachel. He had to have her. He would do anything for her. She became his idol. This unhealthy desire consumed Jacob. Rachel was not just the wife he wanted; she was the savior he needed.  Jacob asked her father for her hand in marriage. But Laban deceived the deceiver, Jacob, and after working for seven years, Laban gave him, not Rachel, but Leah. Jacob had to work another seven years for Rachel.Perhaps the greatest casualty in this story is Leah. The daughter whom her father did not want is now the wife her husband did not want. As a result, Leah had a hole in her heart every bit as big as the one in Jacob's heart. And now she tries to fill it with a person. She sets her heart on getting Jacob's love.Genesis 29:31 says that “when the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive, but Rachel remained childless.” The Lord gave Leah sons, and with each birth she thought, “Maybe now Jacob will love me.” But it didn't work out that way.Ironically, after all that pain, Leah is the one who shows spiritual progress in all this. When her last son is born, her response is, “This time I will praise the Lord.” It appears that she has finally taken her heart's deepest devotion off of a person and put it on the Lord. She has dealt with her idol.I look at what God did in Leah, and then I consider what God did for her. If you track the genealogy of Jesus, you will see that of all Jacob's sons, He came through the line of Judah, Leah's son.  God reached out to the girl that nobody wanted, the unloved one, and made her the ancestral mother of the Messiah.  Salvation came to the world, not through the beautiful Rachel, but through the unwanted, unloved Leah.No human can bear the burden of godhood. No person can meet the deepest needs of your soul.Jesus is the only one who can live up to the hopes, dreams, indeed, the expectations that we all have. And only when we place Him in the temple of our hearts in a position of unrivaled prominence will we be in a position to love anyone well. Text: Genesis 29Originally recorded on December 5, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 10 Many Jewish people possess zeal for God but lack knowledge. Unaware of His righteousness, they attempt to establish their own. Justification through law will always fail to render one righteous, “for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.” This righteousness is found in the word of faith that has been proclaimed: that those who confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised Him from the dead will be saved. God requires a believing heart and open lips to profess the name of Jesus. Regardless of their background, whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. This salvation necessitates hearing the gospel of Christ and responding in faith. Unfortunately, prophecy foretold that many in Israel would not listen to the truth. Christians should desire and pray for everyone's salvation. If we know individuals who are zealous for God but lack understanding of the gospel, we should be prepared to share the truth of Jesus with them. Salvation comes through faith and requires hearts that believe and mouths that confess. Be attentive to the opportunities God provides to confess Jesus by helping someone in your life grasp the truth about Him. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. However, the gospel reveals that such a call requires belief, confession of Jesus, repentance from sins, and submission to Christ through baptism. Many are not yet ready to obey, but we must continue to share God's gracious plan. Righteous Lord, thank You for making salvation accessible through faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You for the promise that everyone who calls on His name will be saved. Strengthen us to boldly confess Jesus as Lord and fully trust in His resurrection. Give us hearts for those who have not yet responded to the gospel and a passion to share Your word with them. Help us be faithful messengers, knowing that the faith within us and others comes from “the word of Christ.” Purge from within us any disobedience or obstinance that may prevent us from experiencing salvation in Your Son. Thought Questions: -       What does “confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead” mean in your life? -       If “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ,” how does that direct how you grow closer to Christ and share Him with others? -       “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Does this include elements like repentance and baptism? How do you know?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us into the first day of July—day 183 in our journey through the Scriptures. Together, we explore Isaiah chapters 1-3, where we witness God's call for justice and mercy, alongside Titus chapter 3, which reminds us of the transformative power of God's grace. Hunter reflects on the reality of judgment described by Isaiah and the hope of redemption found in Christ, as shared in Titus. After our readings, we're guided through heartfelt prayers, encouragement to seek God's presence in creation, and a reminder that no matter our circumstance, we are deeply loved. So, settle in and let's spend some time soaking in God's Word and His goodness together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Once upon a time, there was judgment. We lived under the weight of our own rebellion—the consequences of turning from God, of choosing our own way instead of his. Rebellion, with all its promises of freedom and fulfillment, always ends up bringing something much different: judgment, pain, and brokenness. The prophet Isaiah paints a vivid picture of what it's like to be estranged from the One who loves us most. We see the heartbreak of a Father whose children have turned their backs, the emptiness of religious rituals without heart, and the devastation that comes from ignoring justice and mercy. But Isaiah doesn't just show us ruin—he points to hope. Even when God's people are stained and burdened, he pleads with them: “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.” In the darkest places, he offers the promise of restoration, of lives made new by his mercy. Then, in Titus, the story turns. We are reminded: judgment isn't the whole story. “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us—not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.” God's grace breaks through. Through Jesus, our sins are washed away, our lives are reborn, and we are given confidence of eternal life. Salvation isn't earned; it's poured out—generously—through the Holy Spirit. This is the story of God's grace: the story that redefines everything. Once, we lived under judgment. But now, there is a Savior. The door is wide open for return, renewal, and relationship with the living God. Mercy triumphs over judgment, and we are called anew into his light. Let us lean into that story today. Let's receive the mercy that is ours in Christ, let his Spirit renew and restore us, and remember that every new day is a testimony to his kindness. May we walk in the knowledge that God is our Father, not our enemy—always ready to welcome us home, always making a way for restoration. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

Salvation is not the result of human effort but God's mercy and purpose. Paul begins by expressing deep sorrow for Israel's rejection of Christ despite their unique privileges as God's chosen people. He explains that God's promises have not failed, as true Israel is defined not by ethnicity but by faith in God's promises. Examples like Jacob and Esau highlight that God's choices depend on His mercy, and He has the right to extend mercy wherever He chooses. God has every right to shape His plan like a potter molding clay. He chose to bring Christ through the Jewish people and to extend salvation to Gentiles. These decisions are uniquely His to make. Salvation is open to everyone through faith in Christ. Christians trust in God's authority and embrace His will, even when His ways are beyond our understanding. His choice is to bless “children of the promise,” meaning those who pursue faith in the likeness of Abraham. God's choices regarding mercy are not always easy to comprehend, like choosing Jacob over Esau or hardening Pharaoh's heart. We have no right to find fault with God's decisions concerning Jews, Gentiles, or anyone else. We simply need to trust Him. We know there are “vessels of mercy” who are blessed by God, and that we can be among those people if we honor His sovereign power and achieve righteousness through faith in Jesus. Those who do so faithfully will never be disappointed.  Sovereign God, we praise You for Your mercy, which cannot be earned by our works but is given freely through Your kindness in Your Son. Your ways, from the beginning, are higher than ours. Your merciful choices, actions in the lives of people, and divine will are beyond anything we can fully understand or control. Lord, we choose to trust You. Your ways are good, and Your help is abundant for those who place their faith in Jesus. May His authority never become a stumbling block for us but serve as the unbreakable foundation upon which we build our lives.  Thought Questions: -       Paul sincerely laments the faithlessness of the Jews. Do you feel likewise about people in your life, and how do you deal with that sorrow? -       What do the examples of God choosing Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau teach you about His sovereignty and will? -       The Jews pursued righteousness by works instead of faith and did not achieve it. What would that mistake look like in your life?

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) Have you ever had one of those seemingly perfect moments in life when everything just came together? That stunning sunset. Or that beautiful star-filled night. That special moment with someone you love, when you thought to yourself, I always want it to be this way. Of course, it isn’t always that way. Those seemingly perfect moments pass just as quickly as they occur, leaving you wanting more. Along those same lines, maybe you believed that when you reached certain goals in your life, you’d be happy. Maybe when you were single you thought, If only I had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I’d be happy. So you got yourself a boyfriend or a girlfriend. And then you thought, If only we were engaged, I’d be happy. So you got engaged. And then you thought, If only we were married, I’d be happy. So you got married. And then you thought, If only we had kids, I’d be happy. So you had kids. While there can be happiness in every phase of life, no matter what our circumstances are, fulfillment—genuine, lasting fulfillment—always seems to be a little beyond our reach. Why is that? Because from the day each of us was born, we’ve been on a quest. We were created in the image of God, so we’re aware that there’s more to life than mere existence. There’s purpose. There’s meaning. But they’re not always apparent, so we search for them in moments big and small. The apostle Paul gives us valuable insight into these ideas of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in Ephesians 2:10. “We are God’s masterpiece” (NLT). We have a very high ceiling—the potential to accomplish some amazing things and experience soul-deep fulfillment. Finding our meaning and purpose begins with the decision to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. When we do that, God creates “us anew in Christ Jesus” (NLT). He unlocks our potential to “do the good things he planned for us long ago” (NLT). He unleashes us to be change agents in a world desperate for them. Some people try to find purpose in doing good deeds to earn God’s favor. But that’s a dead end. In the two verses that precede Ephesians 2:10, Paul says, “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it” (NLT). It’s only when we acknowledge that we can never do enough to earn God’s favor that we start to find purpose. The Holy Spirit is our guide. He opens our eyes to the opportunities we have to do good things in gratitude for the matchless gift of salvation that God has given us. The more closely we align our daily lives with what God created us to be, the more we’ll experience the sense of adventure, purpose, fulfillment, and joy that comes from our walk with Christ.

In this bonus episode from our friends at Praying Christian Women, hosts Alana Terry and Jaime Hampton dive into the powerful symbolism of the Helmet of Salvation. More than just a piece of spiritual armor, this helmet represents identity, protection, and the assurance of salvation that secures our minds as we engage in spiritual battle. Drawing inspiration from the design and purpose of the Roman soldier’s helmet, Alana and Jaime unpack how this piece of armor shapes our spiritual posture and can transform our prayer life. Whether you're just beginning your journey of faith or are a seasoned prayer warrior, this episode will encourage and equip you with practical ways to stand strong and pray boldly.

In Galatians 4, Paul draws a bold line between spiritual slavery and true sonship—and if you've ever felt trapped by religious performance like in Mormonism, this chapter is your invitation to step into the freedom of being fully adopted by God through faith in Christ alone.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Paul dismantled the idea that law-keeping could ever make someone right with God.He pointed to Abraham, showing that even he was saved by faith long before the law was given. Paul explained that the law was like a temporary guardian or tutor, showing us our sin but never designed to save us.The big takeaway from Chapter 3: We are made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ—not by religious performance or obedience to commandments.Where Galatians 4 Picks Up:Now, in chapter 4, Paul continues that argument—but he shifts the focus to something deeply relational. He introduces the beautiful truth that believers aren't just forgiven sinners—they're adopted children of God!Paul uses family language—sons, heirs, adoption, Abba Father—to contrast the cold slavery of law-based religion with the warm relationship of grace-based Christianity.This next section will especially hit home for LDS listeners, because Mormonism still keeps people under law, denies full adoption until after lifelong worthiness, and often replaces a personal relationship with God with institutional loyalty and religious performance.Let's dive into Galatians 4: From Slavery to Sonship.Section 1: Galatians 4:1-7 | From Slaves to Sons: Relationship by Faith, Not LawPaul starts with a cultural illustration. In ancient times, heirs had no more rights than slaves until their father declared them full sons.Jewish context: Age 12, "son of the law"Greek context: Coming of age around 18Roman context (likely Paul's audience): The father chose the time for full adoption and inheritanceSpiritual point: Before Christ, people lived like spiritual minors—under guardianship, lacking freedom.Galatians 4:3 says we were slaves to the basic spiritual principles of this world—elemental spiritual forces linked to pagan gods and demonic powers.Modern LDS Parallel:Many LDS today engage in spiritualistic practices: energy healing, chakra work, astrology apps, spirit communication, manifestation, and lightworking. Mormonism's openness to extra-biblical revelation makes this trend possible and widespread.God's Rescue Mission Through Christ (Galatians 4:4-5):Jesus came at God's appointed time to redeem those under the law. Not just freedom from slavery—but full adoption as sons and daughters.Result (Galatians...

Why would the Creator of the universe wear dusty sandals and walk among the people He made? This thought-provoking piece explores how Jesus’ incarnation redefines our understanding of humility, authority, and the nature of true leadership. Far from distant, the divine stepped into history — with skin, sandals, and scars.

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, we share a message Ben Winslett recently delivered at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, exploring the prophecy that the second temple would surpass Solomon's in glory. While some wept over its humble foundation, the prophet Haggai foretold something far greater—that the Lord Himself would come to His … Continue reading "The Glory of the Second House"

June 30 2025 Monday Your Words Matter / Week 22 Atonement In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

After all the deep truths covered in 1 John, we see an added “P.S.” in John’s following epistles. Pastor Greg Laurie shares they’re filled with love, warning, and encouragement. Notes: Focus verse - 2 John 1 2nd and 3rd John are filled with love, warning and encouragement. We can find comfort in God’s Word—His ultimate love letter to us. 1st John was written to give assurance to believers.(1 John 5:13) The Bible promises, “He who began a good work in you will complete it.”(Philippians 1:6) Salvation is God’s work from beginning to end. It’s not based on how you feel, it’s based on what Jesus did. John was refuting something called Gnosticism. Gnostics did not believe that God came into this world and walked among us. “If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”(1 John 4:2) To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us; that He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins, and He bodily rose three days later and will come again. 1 John can be divided into three sections:1. God is Light (1 John 1:1–2:2)2. God is Love (1 John 2:3–4:21)3. God is Life (1 John 5) Read: 2 John 1:1–3 1. God wants us to walk in truth and love. Truth without love is harsh. Love without truth is hollow. Truth anchors us while love moves us.Truth gives us the message; love gives us the method. Love is obeying the Lord. 2. When we walk in truth and love the devil will be opposing us.(2 John 1:7–8) John has warned us about both Antichrist and Antichrists. 3. God cares about every area of your life.(3 John 1:1–2) “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does want us to prosper, but what is Biblical prosperity?In short, it is knowing and walking with God and bringing forth spiritual fruit. God can and will bless you with wealth, but with that wealth comes responsibility.(1 Timothy 6:17–18) If you are blessed financially that’s not a sin, it’s a stewardship. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does not heal everyone, but He does still heal today. 4. Coming to Christ is life-changing; continuing with Christ is life-sustaining.(3 John 1:3–4) “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”(3 John 1:4) “A good character is the best tombstone. Those who love you and were helped by you will remember you, so carve your name on hearts, not marble.” —C.H. Spurgeon 5. God’s people should underwrite God’s work.(3 John 1:5–8) It pleases God when we support God’s Word financially.(3 John 1:6) We should not have a discomfort talking or hearing about giving.The Bible speaks more about giving than prayer or faith. There are over 2,000 verses on the topic of money, possessions, and giving. Giving is not just about finances, it’s a test of trust and obedience to God. We share in the reward when we invest our money. 6. There are real and fake believers in the church.(3 John 1:9–11) Ultimately, it is God who will sort out the real and the counterfeit. 7. Be a Demetrius not a Diotrephes.(3 John 1:9, 12) Demetrius v. DiotrephesHad a good testimony. Had a poor testimony.Respected by all. Rebuked by John for being divisive and proud.Welcoming and faithful. Kicked people out of the church and drove them away. 1. Walk in truth and love.2. Support God’s people and God’s work.3. Be a bridge-builder, not a bridge-burner.4. Leave a godly legacy.5. Don’t be a Diotrephes, be a Demetrius.

So Great Salvation (Part 2) - Hebrews 1 - Jeff Pitman - 29th June 2025 by The King's Way Christian Fellowship - Glen Waverley

By Gary Smith - Mr. Smith begins this sermon by asking the question, isn't Paul's command in Philippians 2 to workout our own salvation a contradiction to what the Bible teaches about our being saved through faith in Christ apart from works? He then spends the sermon showing that there is no contradiction when we

Pastor Dru Rodriguez challenges us to move beyond empty Christianese and demonstrate genuine faith through tangible acts of love and service, reminding us that faith without works is dead.

Getting someone saved is the Great Commission. Jesus told His disciples that we are to go into all the world, share the message about Him, make new disciples, and teach them His ways. It all starts with making someone a disciple. To make someone a disciple, you need to lead them through a salvation prayer, helping them believe in their heart what Jesus did on the cross for us and receive Him as Lord. That's how they're saved. It's not about the works they do or how good they are after salvation. It's about a sincere, heartfelt belief. However, salvation requires someone to explain what's happening. So before you lead them in the sinner's prayer, the first goal is to explain why they need salvation, what it means, and what happens after they receive Jesus into their heart. This training will be a little different from a typical session. I'm not going to give you a list of dos and don'ts. Instead, I want you to listen to a mock conversation where I explain salvation to someone and lead them through the process by the end of the conversation. Salvation usually happens through a conversation. It's not just about a moment like, “What if you died today?” It's about sharing, explaining, and giving your personal testimony. After listening, reflect on what stood out to you. How can you apply this in your own life? How can you stay alert for people who are open to hearing about the things of God? In addition to using the mock conversation, include your testimony. How did you come to salvation? The Bible tells us to always be ready to give a reason for the hope we have. Once someone accepts salvation, help them connect with a body of believers. You can invite them to join us at the Church for Entrepreneurs, or better yet, offer to meet regularly and continue teaching them. It's not just about making a disciple—it's about teaching them the ways of Jesus. Believing in Jesus is just the beginning. The next step is learning how to follow Him. I hope this training helps, and I'd love to hear how it works for you as you go out and minister to others.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com
