Surely one of the great idols of the human heart is the fear of man. We often care inordinately what other people think about us. How can this idol be identified and how do we begin to conquer it by God's grace? You can watch this message here.

“Sanctify them through Thy truth.” — John 17:17 Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man that new living principle by which he becomes “a new creature” in Christ Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two ways — mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh […]

Friends of the Rosary,Today, on the Friday after the Second Sunday after Pentecost (Corpus Christi Sunday), is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, signifying that Christ loves every one of us, without exception, with a human heart."The Son of God... loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal 2:20).The Catechism of the Catholic Church (478) explains, "Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us."The Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation (Cf. Jn 19:34), reflects the infinite love of the divine Redeemer.The institution of the feast was a result of the appearances of our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1675. The celebration of the feast was extended to the General Roman Calendar of the Church by Pius IX in 1856.Today is also the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Where does true holiness come from? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Romans 8:3–9 to show that a holy life comes not from lists or laws but from seeing and savoring Jesus Christ.

Join us this week as we examine true unity. It is found not in personalities or preferences, but in the power and wisdom of the cross.Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10–31Topics: Grace, Sanctification, Surrender, unity, authority of Christ, power of the cross

THIS WEEK: This week, we will be studying 2 Timothy 2:1-9 under the theme “Apprentice to Jesus.” While the term “disciple” gets used frequently in Christianity, what exactly does it mean? Is there a distinction to be made between having faith in Jesus and being a disciple of Jesus? We'll see how the term apprentice is a helpful illustration to consider as we think about how Jesus trains us to carry out his work in the world.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

What does a born-again life look like? True believers bear fruit—love for God, hunger for His Word, and victory over sin. Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits”. Is your life showing the marks of transformation in Christ? 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?

What if the waiting season is the place where your faith truly grows? Pastor James Wilson reminds us that God's timing is perfect, even when we feel pressure to rush. Preaching from Psalm 52:6-9, he emphasizes that waiting on God's promises is not a punishment, but a process that builds righteousness through the Holy Spirit. He also referenced Isaiah 64:4 and Ephesians 3:20 to encourage believers to embrace patience and see waiting as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Waiting on God refines us, strengthens us, and aligns us with His will. Trust His timing—it's always right. The waiting season is not wasted; it's where God prepares you for what's next.

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, Pastor Mike continues the series on the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths by teaching on Sanctification, which is the 9th tenant. This message centers on the essential doctrines of Justification, Sanctification, and God’s Holiness. The sermon emphasized the absolute righteousness of God and the incredible supernatural grace by which we are justified by faith through Christ alone, not by works. Building on this foundation, Pastor Mike highlighted the necessity of progressive sanctification—a Spirit-empowered journey of becoming more like Christ in thought, word, and deed. Even in our pursuit of Godly Holiness, we will make mistakes and sin. When we do, God still loves and desires for us to acknowledge our shortcomings and return to Him through the Holy Spirit-inspired conviction, repentance, and forgiveness. In this process, we must recognize the difference between Holy Spirit conviction, which lovingly draws us to repentance and restoration, and Satan-inspired condemnation, which shames, isolates, and paralyzes the believer. The message challenged the church not to settle for spiritual stagnation but to pursue holiness with boldness, knowing it is both God’s command and His promise to complete the good work He began in us.

Confessional Hebrews 10:14, Rom. 8:13, Col 3:1-5, 2 Corinthians 3:18

Sanctification is where your current earthly condition starts to become more and more like your eternal heavenly position. The means by which this happens, is not by willpower, self effort or works of the law but through regular encounters with the God of glory and being established in His word of grace. The post Sanctification by Grace (Pt 1) appeared first on Ryan Rufus.

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?

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

Jim Osman teaches that applying all diligence is essential for Christian growth. Believers must cultivate virtues such as moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, and love. By using all diligence, Christians respond to God's grace earnestly, avoiding legalism and complacency. Osman underscores that this pursuit is not about earning salvation but working it out through sanctification, grounded in faith and empowered by God's provision. ★ Support this podcast ★

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?

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.

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.
