Podcasts about Sanctification

In the final episode of the Strong in Spirit, Lean in Life series, Rachel wraps up with a heart-to-heart about why so many women chase fat loss from a place of guilt—and how to shift toward Spirit-led stewardship instead.This isn't about working harder. It's about surrendering deeper.If you're ready to ditch the shame, build discipline rooted in grace, and declare this your Summer of Sanctification—this episode is for you.

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue looking at chapter 11, which discusses sanctification. Some thought prompts based on this chapter: In God's creation, the way is the destination.  What does that have to do with sanctification? True or False: The need for affirmation exists in direct proportion to contradicting God's design. How do we think about wealth differently through sanctification?

Paul Edworthy speaks this week on what sanctification means. This was recorded in the Hastings venue on Sunday 15 June 2025.

Pr. Larry Peters of Pastoral Meanderings Why So Uncomfortable? The post Lutheran Discomfort with Sanctification – Pr. Larry Peters, 6/16/25 (1672) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Pride is our greatest enemy and humility is our greatest friend. While we will struggle with pride until the day we die, we can still grow in humility over time. But how? You can watch this message here.

The conversation continues with a challenging question: How do we love those claiming Christianity while living lifestyles contradicting biblical teachings? Pastor Tate responds with grace-filled wisdom: "Sanctification is a process. I believe there are people who are genuine followers of Jesus Christ who are still jacked up in their sin." This perspective sets the stage for a remarkable story of unconventional ministry.This powerful episode challenges listeners to step beyond comfortable ministry approaches and meet people exactly where they are—with unwavering biblical truth wrapped in authentic relationship. You'll be inspired to see evangelism not as a religious obligation but as "one beggar telling another beggar where he found food."Whether you're questioning your faith, feeling stuck in ministry, or simply seeking inspiration, this conversation provides both practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for connecting with others in meaningful ways. Ready to transform how you share your faith? This episode is your starting point.

What is a Healthy Christian? (Ephesians 1:9-10) - Pastor Mike Collins

What is changing in your soul because of what God has done in you? Sanctification is the fruit that shows that we are moving closer toward glorification. It is the process of being made holy and conforming more and more to be like Christ. This work is carried on within us through the Holy Spirit, union with Jesus, the Scriptures, the Lord's Supper, prayer and fellowship with other believers, and the furnace of trials and sufferings. We are no longer slaves to sin, for we have been redeemed by Jesus. Do you long to be made more like Christ and follow the ways of righteousness?

Galatians 3:1-14 Faith Alone for Salvation and Sanctification

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue looking at chapter 11, which discusses sanctification. Some questions to get people talking: Contentment versus insatiability--where do we see this in the world around us? How can we find contentment? Consequence versus cause--how does sanctification work? Does being a Christian mean that we do different things than others, or that we do the same things differently?

Seven biblical metrics that will help you determine the overall health of your spiritual life. Are you following Jesus and submitting to his Lordship? Or are you just playing church?

As the student questions series continues, I'm talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we turn to chapter 11, which discusses sanctification. Some questions to get people talking: What is the distinction between justification and sanctification? What is holy?  What is the reference point for holy and good?  How can you be holy? Which is harder: to become content, or to stay content?

How we understand progressive sanctification and it's relationship to justification is a matter of great importance in the Christian life. Catholic theology falls into heresy by merging to the two together. However, "second blessing" theology has the opposite error of seperating the two entirely. The Reformed view (and, we would argue, the one Scripture clearly teaches) is that justification and sanctification must be clearly distinguished but never chronologically seperated. Justificaiton is a one-time event at conversion, and progressive sanctification begins immediately at conversion. There is no time gap. You can watch this message here.

Why must we be born again? Because we are born in sin, inheriting Adam's fallen nature. Jesus, the last Adam, gives us a new nature. Salvation isn't self-improvement—it's total transformation. Are you growing to reflect your Heavenly Father? How can we follow Christ without first being transformed by Him? Jesus commands us to be born again, not by our own efforts but through the Holy Spirit. This series explores why new birth is essential, how it happens, and the fruit it produces. Have you been born again? If so, does your life reflect Christ's transforming power?

In this episode, Ronn and Mike explore the various themes present in John 3:22-36: righteousness, sin, Jesus' atonement, the significance of baptism, and the acceptance of Gentiles into the family of Abraham. Ronn particularly introduces his understanding of the Holy Spirit's “sanctification” of Gentile communities in the upcoming Book of Acts, recommending that this idea will satisfy so many of the tensions both in the ministry of Jesus and the growth of the later church. They conclude by emphasizing the importance of understanding the gospel in the context of Abraham family dynamics and the unfulfilled story of Israel.

Sermon Series: “The Gospel: God's Power in Our Salvation” Sermon Text: Romans 6:1-14 Sermon Title: “Sanctification: A Growing Obsession with Jesus” Sermon Slides: SLIDE 1 – Sermon Title Slide= SLIDE 2 – Today's Big Idea: If Justification is Good News … Sanctification is More Good News. And our Sanctification Progresses … as our Obsession with Jesus Grows. SLIDE 3 – Point 1: Our Sanctification Begins … By Our Union with Jesus. (vv. 1-10) SLIDE 4 – Justification = God's Legal Verdict of ‘No Condemnation'; His forgiving and declaring us righteous in Christ, because of Christ alone. Justification is God's verdict and our new status. SLIDE 5 – Sanctification = Our Actual Renewal in the Power of Christ's Crucifixion, Death, and Resurrection by the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is the Spirit's work and our new habits. SLIDE 6 – Insert a Copy of Point #1 of Sermon SLIDE 7 – 1st Principle (from vv. 1-2): “There are two kinds of people in our world – those who are dead to sin by God's grace, and those still dead in sin who trust in their works.” SLIDE 8 – 2nd Principle (from vv. 1-2): “Our Justification is not our license to keep sinning … but our license to become holy.” SLIDE 9 – Insert a Copy of Point #1 of Sermon SLIDE 10 – 1 Cor. 12:13 – “For also by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.” SLIDE 11 – Insert a Copy of Point #1 of Sermon SLIDE 12 – 1st Principle (from vv. 9-10): “Justification overturns sin's final penalty … but Sanctification overcomes sin's present power.” SLIDE 13 – 2nd Principle (from vv. 9-10): “Justification is the Gospel at work for us. But Sanctification is the Gospel at work in us. We will be changed!” SLIDE 14 – Conclusion (Point 1): “The additional Good News of Sanctification is that we've received real power over our remaining sin that will produce real holiness in us. We will be changed … because the change is inside us!” SLIDE 15 – Point 2: Our Sanctification Progresses … As Our Obsession with Jesus Grows. (vv. 11-14) SLIDE 16 – Matthew 5:29 – “But if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” SLIDE 17 – Insert a Copy of Point #2 of Sermon SLIDE 18 – Principle (from vv. 11-14): “You may lose a battle (or a string of battles) against sin, but you'll never lose the war. For God's grace of justification rules you … not the Law of condemnation.” SLIDE 19 – Conclusion (Point 2): “Sanctification is More Good News not only because we are liberated from the power of sin, but because we're fully empowered to walk, talk, and live like Jesus! We will look like Him!” SLIDE 20 – Sermon Uses: Three for our Gospel Sanctification. SLIDE 21 – You Can't Be Sanctified if You Haven't Been Justified … So Have You? SLIDE 22 – Our Sanctification in Jesus… is Also by Grace through Faith in Christ. SLIDE 23 – 1 Peter 3:15 – “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.” SLIDE 24 – Phil. 2:12-13 – “So then, my beloved … work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” SLIDE 25 – Stop Trying to Be Perfect … Instead, Trust Harder in the Perfect Savior.

Clip of the Week-"I'm Jealous Over you With a Godly Jealousy" Brother Ed Miller Bro. Ed Miller was sanctified and joined Christ's Sanctified Holy Church in Palatka, Florida in 1899. He, along with his brothers, Frank and John, left home and traveled the breadth of the United States preaching the gospel of entire Sanctification. At the 1952 Camp Meeting, in his waning years, Bro. Ed was selected to preach; “I'm Jealous over you with a Godly Jealousy” would be his last public recorded sermon. Along with experiencing a taste of CSHC history, you will be encouraged, challenged, and inspired as Bro. Ed Miller gives one last exhortation to the church he loves, leaving his hearers something of his passion for preaching the gospel as he reflects on scripture, history, and “practical religion”. Brother David Cosby

Jesus knew that His Apostles' battle would continue after He ascended to heaven. Satan would go after them and seek to destroy them. But Jesus prayed to His Father, “I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.” He wanted them to be in the world, but to be different from the world. Jesus' prayer for His closest followers reflects His desires for us: that our joy would be full, that we would be protected from Satan, and that we would be set apart for holy service to God. All these things are only found through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Take-Home Message: The Lord's greatest prayer reveals His greatest priorities. What is an Apostle? The Apostles were those specially chosen and commissioned by Christ to speak with His authority.  Jesus Prays for His Apostles' Joy (13). Superficial Joy vs. True JoyFake JoyFickle JoyFading JoyForever Joy Jesus Prays for His Apostles' Protection (14-16). Jesus Prays for His Apostles' Sanctification (17-19). Sanctify– To be set apart for holy service to God Take-Home PrioritiesBe forever joyful.Be watchful in the world.Be set apart by the Word. Message: Jesus Prays for His Apostles: Part 2 Scripture: John 17:13-19 Simple.

The security of our salvation is fixed; however, the assurance of our salvation is a feeling that sometimes leaves us forgetful of what God has done. It is then God's promises that keep us from stumbling!

Why do purgatory and hell exist? The Catechism teaches us today about the existence and the meaning of purgatory and hell. We learn that purgatory is a transitional state of purification while hell is the state of permanent separation from God. Fr. Mike reminds us that nobody drifts into heaven because “we cannot be united to God unless we freely choose to love him.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1030-1037. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
