Some Christian authors describe fasting as the most feared and misunderstood discipline, and perhaps the least practiced in the Christian church. Why? What stops Christians from fasting?Listen in as James walks us through a definition of Christian fasting as well as why and how to engage in fasting as parents. Like all spiritual disciplines or ordinary means of God's grace, through fasting, Christians engage Scriptural patterns with the aim to become more like Jesus.1 Tim. 4:7-10. “[Discipline] yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come . . . because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.”“There is no virtue in fallen man by which he can make himself more godly; thereis, however, virtue in the divinely appointed means of grace. If we, by the powerof the Holy Spirit, mortify the deeds of the body (through fasting), we shall growin grace, but the glory of such change will be God's alone.” David Smith.John Calvin: “since fasting is a holy exercise both for the humbling ofmen and for their confession of humility why should we use it less thanthe ancients did in similar need?”
Vestiges of the Christian call to “love one's neighbor” can be found throughout Western culture. What has been lost, however, is the Scriptural understanding of love and a strong theological foundation to support the command. Without Scripture and theology, love of neighbor is either reduced to sentimentality or the gospel is denied. The seriousness of the latter is highlighted in this sermon on Romans 13:8–10 titled “Scriptural Love.” Modern teaching claims sinful people are able to fulfill this important command despite the fact that they have not experienced regeneration. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines both Scripture and culture, arguing that a biblical view of self and neighbor is necessary to understand Paul's words correctly. This also answers one of the fundamental questions Christians ask: what is the Christian relationship to the law? Be warned against the trap of mysticism with its emphasis on mere contemplation of love and also watch out for rigorism with its emphasis on the merely knowing the letter of the law. Rather than falling into mysticism or rigorism, Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues for both the letter and the spirit of the law. Listen closely as he argues for a balanced approach to the law and seeks to challenge contemporary views of love of the neighbor.

Scriptural prosperity is rooted strictly in spiritual laws, specifically the foundational lifestyle of honoring God. As detailed explicitly in Proverbs 3:9-10, true supernatural abundance, material multiplication, and a permanent escape from systemic generational poverty require a deep relational reverence toward the Creator. We must honor the Lord with our capital wealth and with the firstfruits of all our earthly increases. This distinct biblical principle demands prioritizing God first rather than offering Him leftover scraps after personal bills, worldly expenses, and lifestyle desires have been fully satisfied.ദൈവവചനത്തിൻ്റെ അനുഗ്രഹങ്ങൾക്കായി Blessing Today ചാനൽ ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ Subscribe ചെയ്യൂ! ✨പുതിയ വീഡിയോകൾക്കായി Bell Icon അമർത്തുക.
**YouTube Summary/Description****Video Title:** The Christadelphians - #11 The Christ – Whose Son Is He? – Harry Tennant**Description:**Join us for this outstanding and thought-provoking exposition as we explore one of the most profound questions in Scripture: Whose son is the Christ? In this wonderful presentation, Brother Harry Tennant guides us through an insightful, verse-by-verse examination of the sonship of Jesus.We look at the two extremes of belief—from those who deny the virgin birth to the traditional creedal teaching of an eternally begotten Son. Neither, we believe, fully reflects the beautiful, consistent revelation of the Bible. Instead, we delve into what Scripture actually says: that Jesus is the uniquely begotten Son of God, born of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. This revealing study walks through key passages from Matthew, Luke, John, Paul's letters, and Hebrews to show that Jesus worshipped His Father, that the Father is greater than the Son, and that Christ's glory comes from His faithful obedience—not from a pre-existent divine nature.This is a respectful, humble, and deeply Scriptural look at one of the most important doctrines of the faith. Whether you agree or disagree, this video will challenge and inspire you to return to the Word of God as the only foundation for truth.**Chapters:**00:00 – Introduction: Seeking to Know the Son03:55 – The Virgin Birth: A Non-Negotiable Bible Truth08:09 – Examining the Creeds: “Eternally Begotten” or Biblically Revealed?13:41 – Old Testament Promises: Foreordained, Then Born15:49 – Born as the Son of God (Luke 1:35, Galatians 4:4)16:56 – Philippians 2:5-11 Explained: “Form of God” – On Earth or in Heaven?24:40 – Jesus Worships God – Even After His Ascension30:13 – Conclusion: Honouring Christ Without the Creeds**Bible Verse Categories:**
Don't miss this lesson as we tackle one of the most profound questions in A Catechism of Biblical Doctrine: What do the Scriptures teach concerning the nature of the Godhead? Discover how the Bible reveals the awe-inspiring mystery of one eternal God who exists as three Persons. In this session, we'll clearly define the Trinity, examine powerful Scriptural proof that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully God, and learn how this foundational doctrine of orthodox Christianity can transform our daily lives.
May 17, 2026Today's Reading: John 15:26-16:4Daily Lectionary: Numbers 14:1-25; Luke 18:18-34“…now we cultivate the fear of God, justice, kindness, faith, and the expectation of the future given us through the Crucified One… The more we are persecuted and martyred, the more do others in ever increasing numbers become believers.” ~Justin the Martyr (100AD – 165AD) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Most of Jesus' words to His disciples are intended to prepare them for His departure via the cross, where He would pay the cost of their salvation. In our text, Jesus' words prepare His Apostles for their eventual crosses – the hour which is coming when, “whoever kills you will think he is offering a service to God.” (Jn 16:2) A significant portion of Jesus' words to His disciples in all the Gospels are about the cost of being His disciple. (Matthew 10:38, 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23, 14:25-33). As His disciple, where is your cross? You needn't go looking for it. You bear it marked upon your forehead and over your heart as given in the rite of Holy Baptism. When you were made God's own child in that water and Word, you were made an enemy of Satan, and thus an enemy of this fallen world over which he rules (John 12:31). No one baptized, who stands upon the rock of Christ's truth, is immune from the scorn of Satan or this world. That is the cross borne by you and all of God's saints. Dying to yourself and to this world doesn't have to mean martyrdom. Still, you face a world where Scriptural truth is despised, God's created order is denied, and the truth of a merciful God is rejected. The cost could include the loss of friendships, family ties, the respect of your peers, and worldly success. So it is that, in our text, Jesus' admonition likewise includes the promise that the Holy Spirit will be the immutable source of your Christian life and witness. “I have said all these things to keep you from falling away.” (John 16:1) Jesus' admonition is a gift. When the world rages against you, you are not left alone. The Holy Spirit keeps your eyes fixed upon Jesus, who authored and perfected your faith, enduring the cross for the joy set before Him. (Hebrews 12:2) The Spirit continues to call you by the Gospel, enlighten you with His gifts, keeping you in the true faith, daily and richly forgiving your sins. The cost you pay of dying to this world is a pittance compared to the cost of Christ's own blood, which has bought you and made you an heir with Him to eternity. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. O King of glory, Lord of hosts, uplifted in triumph far above all heavens, leave us not without consolation but send us the Spirit of truth whom You promised from the Father; for You live and reign with Him and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Collect for Exaudi – The Seventh Sunday of Easter)Rev. Jeffrey Ries, pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tacoma, WA
This week and for the next few weeks we take a short break from our Genesis series to spend four weeks thinking about the Scriptural principles for generosity. Money does not just matter for personal discipleship, it also matters for our common mission as the church. Disobedient or poorly taught disciples in this area produce a church that is starved in its ability to do it's spiritual mission by a lack of physical resources. But faithful and obedient discipleship fuels the mission of the church, enhances its impact and in the process shines a light to the world that is not just radically counter cultural but compellingly beautiful as it showcases the generous heart of God himself.This week Andrew preaches from Matthew 25:14-30. We are not owners; we are stewards. Generosity begins with recognising God's total ownership.Sermon by Andrew Grills
Jonah"s prayer of anger to the LORD regarding HIS deliverance of ungodly people and the LORD's lesson for Jonah to recognize HIS grace to the unworthy. Scriptural reference: Jonah 4:1-11
In today's first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we learn that Peter and John go down to Samaria because of Philip's evangelical success. But when they arrive, they learn that, even though the new Christians there have been baptized, they have not received the Holy Spirit. So what do they do? They pray and lay hands on the new Christians, and the Holy Spirit falls upon them. Here we see the Scriptural foundation of the Sacrament of Confirmation by which we receive the fulness of the gift of the Holy Spirit!

Message regarding the blessing (divine benefit) of "seeing GOD" based on having a "pure heart towards GOD." Scriptural reference: Matt 5:1-2, 8
Join Dr. Becky as she continues in her dissertation with Chapter 6: A Scriptural View of a Burdened Leader's Life of Prayer. Scripture provides numerous examples of burden leaders who engage in and rely on the same three traits as prescribed in this dissertation- personal, intercessory, and persevering prayer- to overcome outsmart and outlast their opposition. Importantly, their lives demonstrate to today's leaders that when burden leaders pray, it is not simply theoretical. Prayer releases a divinely imbued agent of change that, over time- and sometimes, even immediately- effectively transforms a situation, person, culture, community or country, thus, pointing to God is the reason for success against their relentless and fierce enemies.

Send us Fan Mail In today's episode, we respond to a person who challenged the deity of Christ, and went as far as to attack Who Jesus is. He made several claims about Jesus' growth, obedience, temptation, suffering, and limitations in His flesh. We defend Christ's full divinity and full humanity, providing a Scriptural basis for the deity of Christ. We discuss His equality with the Father, His voluntary self‑emptying, and His sinlessness. We argue that whatever limitations He may have had in the flesh never diminished who He truly was and still is. We affirm the biblical doctrine of the Godhead, and give biblical reasons that everyone else should. We invite you to come study God's Word with us today!
In this edition of UBC Sermon Discussions pastor Jason Wing answers questions from his sermon out of 1 Corinthians 7:1-16The main idea for the sermon was: A maturing church will be marked by members pursuing and practicing Godly marriages.Questions discussed in this episode:Q. When it comes to sexual intimacy between married couples, what advice would you give two spouses who have different degrees of desire for sexual intimacy with each other?Q. We got a few questions on this subject, so I'll try to tie them together here. I have heard that some use this passage to suggest that one spouse must do anything sexually that their spouse wants… even going so far as to suggest that there is no such thing as rape if you're married. Can you speak to the ways this verse has been abused/can be abused? What's the best Scriptural antidote against people using 1 Cor 7 to argue against consensuality being necessary in sex in marriage?Q. What advice would you give a married couple regarding healing and moving forward from sinful sexual engagement with each other before marriage?Q. Pastor Jason, In reference to 1 Corinthians 7:5, we are told to give your body to our spouse so that, "Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control," In your sermon, you mainly focused on how this giving of your body can protect your spouse from self-control of sexual sin specifically. Can the idea of protection of self-control be applied to other types of sins/addictions from a pleasure seeking sense (alcohol, drugs, gambling etc)? In summary, is giving of your body to protect from sin only for sexual sins, or can this also be to include other sins that seek to fill similar pleasure seeking reactions?We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts. Send them to sermonquestions@ubcbeavercreek.com.

In this episode I explore how Christ defeats all powers who are opposed to God, both in heaven and on earth. I recently finished Michael Heiser's book The Unseen Real, which is a provocative analysis of divine council theory in the Bible. God created lesser spiritual beings, such as angles, many of which rebelled against him, as well as humans who also rebelled against him. The writers of the Bible all share a worldview that there are spiritual entities, some aligned with God and some opposed to Him, as a foundational assumption. Despite Heiser's excellent exegesis, he claims that Ephesians 1:21, in which Paul lists several forces over which Christ now rulers, refers only to spiritual beings, contradicting a claim I made in a recent episode on the passage. I counter by reviewing how the Greek terms Paul employs in that passage, as well as its larger rhetorical context, suggest that Paul is arguing that Jesus rules over both the kings of this earth and all spiritual beings, including those opposed to God. In fact, there is a Scriptural basis for this argument found in Isaiah 24:21, where Isaiah depicts God ultimately defeating all his enemies, both worldly kings and spiritual authorities which are in opposition to him. Paul believes that this eschatological prophecy is being fulfilled in Christ. Check out the original episode on Ephesians 1 and enjoy the conversation!

We keep our reconsidered leader arc going, this time considering the Scriptural concept of Holiness and what it has to teach us about leadership that imitates Our Lord. Dispelling misconceptions regarding the ideas of holiness, we look to the Old Testament to dwell on the concept of election (both for persons and people), and dive into the social and political situation on the ground during the New Testament to help look at Jesus's understanding of the point of holiness, and the implications this has for leadership.

Today's episode expands on what David said last week about the importance of “understanding of the times” when assessing Christian engagement in political and legislative advocacy. David uses a Scriptural metaphor to explain what he sees missing in the way Christians understanding our times. And he explains how it has affected the approach to politics taken by both end-abortion-now advocates and traditional right to life advocates. At a fundamental level, they are the same.

Alan DiDio says mankind was given a 6,000-year lease on life that is on the verge of expiring. As the End Times become more intense and modern technology pushes us toward a global society, artificial intelligence could usher in a new era of knowledge and subsequent deception. Alan is the host of Revival Nation, formerly called Encounter Today, and the author of Summoning the Demon: AI, Aliens, and the Antichrist. He explains the dangers and advantages of AI, and how Christians can utilize it rather than be deceived by it. He encourages Christians to practice a “digital Sabbath,” and to prioritize in-person relationships, discipleship, and worship in an increasingly non-tangible society. “AI,” he warns, “is removing barriers to the Antichrist agenda.” We are definitely in the last days. TAKEAWAYS Any eschatology that makes you fearful is wrong and manipulative Don't be afraid - Scriptural prophecies are not here to scare us, but to prepare us and spur us to action If you are afraid, call on the name of Jesus Christians and the church cannot hide in the face of rapidly evolving technology; we must master it and use it to grow the kingdom

Scriptural revelation regarding "seeing the light of godliness" and "hearing the call (invitation) of fellowship" with the LORD GOD and others as a necessity for the lifestyle of the Believer. Scriptural references: 1 John 1:3-4, 5-7; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Galatians 5:22
After tracing the eight Scriptural earmarks of the historic Pharisee, one piercing question now stands before every one of us:Am I a Pharisee?Join me as we uncover what the Pharisee looks like today—inside the church and out in the world, sitting in the pew or walking in public, seen openly or concealed behind closed doors. We will expose how the modern Pharisee sounds, how he appears, and how he behaves—today.Because it is not enough to recognize the Pharisee in the pages of Scripture. We must also look into our own hearts and ask whether the spirit of the Pharisee has taken root in us.
While there are many ways Intuitive Eating and the Bible DO align in thought, there is a big way they don't. Today we are discussing self denial and why the Bible instructs us to actually sometimes ignore our body cues. Luke 9:23 says, “And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” I pray this episode helps you see the wisdom in making the Bible your true food authority and not the Intuitive Eating book!

Choosing a compassionate and trustworthy Christian Counselor is essential when you're seeking authentic healing, deliverance, and soul restoration without New Age trends! Yes, healing and deliverance are totally free to every believer, but the problem is that most can't recognize or discern their own strongholds. The real problem is that deep soul wounds hinder them from seeing the truth of God's Word. The veil must be lifted off their minds and hearts. (See 2 Corinthians 3:14–16). There's no shame in asking for help when it comes to our health. This is where a Christ-centered professional can help assist in unraveling years of the enemy's lies and exposing God's truth; helping a hurting individual get out of bondage. Learn what a qualified Christian Counselor support looks like so you can walk in freedom, clarity, and lasting transformation without a mixture of New Age and fake healing services! Blessings- 00:00 — Opening Blessing & Episode Framing Setting the tone for healing, deliverance, and Christ‑centered restoration. 01:12 — Why Many Believers Stay Stuck in Strongholds Explaining how unhealed soul wounds block discernment and clarity. 03:45 — The Veil Over the Mind & Heart (2 Corinthians 3:14–16) Scriptural foundation for spiritual blindness and breakthrough. 06:10 — What “Qualified Christian Counselor” Actually Means Defining Christ‑centered, biblically aligned support versus mixed or New Age‑influenced practices. 09:20 — Discernment vs. Emotional Confusion How trauma, lies, and spiritual interference distort self‑perception. 12:40 — Why Asking for Help Is Not Shameful Reframing vulnerability as obedience and wisdom. 15:05 — The Role of a Christ‑Centered Authentic Professional How a Christian Counselor partners with the Holy Spirit to expose lies and restore truth. 18:30 — Breaking Mixture: Avoiding Fake Healing & New Age Counterfeits Protecting your walk from syncretism and spiritual contamination of New Age trends, 21:55 — What Real Transformation Looks Like Freedom, clarity, and lasting fruit when healing is done God's way, not man's. 24:10 — Invitation to Walk in Freedom Encouragement to pursue aligned support and step into wholeness. 26:00 — Closing Blessing from Melia Melia's Services -> https://meliadiana.com/our-services Melia's Books ->https://meliadiana.com/books Melia's Courses -> https://meliadiana.com/vertical-relationship-academy Prophetic Gatekeeper Manuscript Specialist -> https://meliadiana.com/prophetic-gatekeeper-manuscript-specialist

It's Saint Joseph's feast day, and we are celebrating this very special solemnity by taking a break from all our Lenten fasts and diving into the Scriptural and theological foundations of building a relationship with Saint Joseph (and all the other saints). Note: This relationship should not include burying a statue of Saint Joseph upside down in your yard, thinking that will somehow get your house sold.

Originally aired 2/14/25: Mary welcomes back Paul Scharf of Friends of Israel Ministry, an organization with over 87 years of support for Israel. On this Valentine’s Day, we talk about loving the things God loves with an everlasting love: Israel. What are some of the Scriptural points that tell us the what and why of God’s care for Israel? Do we ever stop to realize all the ways God has blessed all nations through them, these “People of the Book”? Why does this even matter, and why do many churches not share God’s heart for her, even though as new creatures we should have that love for Israel? We talk about dispensationalism, Gaza, Trump, hostages, Zionism, and more. Paul is a church ministries representative for Friends of Israel based in Columbus, WI, and serving in the Midwest. He speaks regularly about Israel, Bible prophecy and many other topics in churches and Bible conferences all across the Midwest and around the country.

Is Mary the New Eve in Scripture? In this episode of YouTube Catechesis, we examine the biblical case for Our Blessed Mother as the New Eve, parallel to Christ as the New Adam. Rather than relying on later theological development, this episode turns directly to Scripture in its original languages: Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, to examine the grammatical precision embedded in the text itself. We walk through three scriptural anchors: • Genesis 3:15 the Protoevangelium and the promise of the Woman and her seed • Romans 5:19 St. Paul's Adam, Christ typology and reversal through obedience • John 19:26 “Woman, behold your son” at the foot of the Cross By examining the specific use of “woman” in Genesis and John's Gospel, and by following St. Paul's typological method in Romans, we consider whether the New Eve parallel is revealed in the structure of Scripture itself. This episode is explanatory and scriptural in focus, grounded in the language of the biblical text rather than later speculation. In the Patreon-only deep dive, we explore how the earliest Christians recognized and spoke about this New Eve typology long before the Reformation.

Music Credit: 3MDEHDDQTEJ1NBB0 Welcome back to another episode of YouTube Catechesis, where we look to scripture for corroboration on the titulos languages. Pontius Pilate inscribed "jesus christ" on the cross in "biblical hebrew", "koine greek", and Latin, highlighting their sacred use. This episode emphasizes the grammatical precision of these ancient languages, offering insights for "language learning" and a deeper understanding of "new testament" contexts. #neweve #Genesis315 #CatholicScripture #Typology #blessedmother
“Is there a scriptural basis for St. Joseph’s Assumption?” This question opens a discussion on the biblical foundations of St. Joseph’s bodily assumption into Heaven. Other topics include the differences between the Douay–Rheims versions, the appropriateness of praying for intercession from souls in purgatory, and the practice of clergy praying with covered heads during Mass. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 18:29 – What is the difference between the Douay–Rheims reims and the traditional Douay–Rheims? 21:45 – Is it okay to not just pray for the souls in purgatory, but to ask for their intercession? 29:07 – 1 Cor 11 says to not pray with your head covered. So how do we reconcile that with clergy praying with heads covered (mitres, cardinals hats, berettas, etc) during Mass? 32:49 – Should we offer Masses for the recently deceased leader of Iran and his party? 42:39 – How does one pray to saints? Also, The Bible records Jesus' words of prayer in the agony in the garden, but how do we know what he said if nobody was there to witness and report it? 45:23 – How often can one make a general confession? 48:22 – Can you help me understand this controversy of interpreting the bible as saying we are either “declared” righteous or “made” righteous? 52:04 – I feel like God's love and mercy has already washed my sins away even though I haven't been to confession yet. What's the deal with that?
