Podcasts about Sermon

The Gospel is simple, but the world tries to complicate too many things, obscuring where we came from and the purpose of our lives. If we believe in God and call out to Him, He promises to give us the faith to believe and be saved through the death and resurrection of His Son. God picked everyone who would pick Him, and when we turn to Him, He answers us.

We have endless opportunities to give back to the Lord...

A new MP3 sermon from Maidenbower Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Spiritual Knowledge and its Practical Results (sermon 1742) Subtitle: From the heart of Spurgeon Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Maidenbower Baptist Church Event: Podcast Date: 10/10/2025 Bible: Colossians 1:9-10 Length: 32 min.

We all have sins that we struggle with and find nearly impossible to quit. We have the strength through Christ to break any addiction, and He promises to fill us with joy when we obey. The longer we continue to disobey God, the greater the pain that comes with God's loving discipline.

Sometimes a simple compliment can make your entire day...

Jesus warns against judging others while blind to our own sins. He teaches about the narrow gate that few will find and exposes false prophets who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. The Sermon concludes with two builders: one whose house on rock weathers the storm, another whose house on sand collapses completely. When Jesus finishes, the crowds are astonished because He teaches with authority, unlike their scribes.  The Rev. Ryan Kleimola, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 7:1-29.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitylutheran.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

In the midst of the crisis in society and the Church, we look for clarity and stability. This is especially true when there is a crisis of authority in the Church. But we know that all authority comes from God, which He handed onto the Apostles as the first bishops who then passed it down in succession to this very day. This is why we must pray that they, like us, hold fast to the Faith of the Church, even if there we many temptations today to deviate from it.

When Rabbi Yisroel Bernath spotted a superyacht with an infinity pool merging into the sky, it sparked a journey through one of the most powerful Talmudic stories, Rabbi Akiva's “sukkah on a ship.” From that image of faith floating on waves, this class dives into the timeless tension between fragility and faith, exploring what it means to build Jewish life and joy even when the ground beneath us feels unstable.Through stories that span from ancient Rome to post-Holocaust Budapest, Rabbi Bernath reveals the unbreakable resilience of Jewish spirit and the eternal power of ideas that can't be burned, silenced, or washed away.Takeaways:Faith in Motion: Even when life feels unstable, your sukkah, your faith, your values, your light, can stand strong.Resilience Is Our Heritage: From Rabbi Akiva's ship to a siddur saved from the ashes, Jewish history proves that our strength comes from rebuilding, not retreating.Ideas Outlive Empires: The Romans burned scrolls, but not the words. Power fades; purpose endures.Your Sukkah Is a Statement: Every mitzvah you do in today's world is an act of defiance against despair and a declaration of hope.We Are the Calm in the Storm: Our task is to build joy, faith, and community even when the waves rise because that's where holiness truly lives.#sukkot #resilience #sukkah #sukkah2025 #sukkot2025 #sukkos #rabbigamliel #rabbiakiva #Hope #HopeAndResilience #JewishIdentity #Talmud #LightOverDarkness #joy #JewishHistory Sign up for "The Forgiveness Lab" HERE: theloverabbi.com/eventsSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

It is okay to have questions and doubts, but we need to make sure that we are seeking God's truth for answers and believe them when He gives them to us. There is no other religion like Christianity where Jesus, God Himself, died for us to make a way so that we could spend eternity with Him.

Strength of faith doesn't come from faith itself...

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Join Apostle Jim Raley in this compelling sermon titled 'Miracle Mercy,' where he explores the concept of divine mercy and its profound impact on our lives. Through biblical teachings and personal insights, Apostle Raley takes listeners on a spiritual journey to the 'mercy seat,' a place where faith meets divine grace. Experience a transformative message that emphasizes the power of worship, the role of mercy in overcoming life's challenges, and the enduring hope found in God's presence.

St. Therese is always full of surprises for the faithful. When it comes to happiness, for example, she expressed happiness at seeing herself as imperfect and in need of God's mercy at the time of death. By the world's standards, this is a twisted sentiment, but for those seeking eternity in heaven with Our Lord, it is precisely the right feeling to hold.

Romans: Transforming Power of the Gospel, Pt. 25 – Gospel Stumbling BlocksRomans 14:1–23 | King's Chapel Live StreamRomans 14 reminds us that unity in the church is not built on everyone agreeing about everything—it is built on the gospel.Paul urges believers to welcome one another, even when we differ on secondary matters. We are called to honor the Lord, walk in love, and pursue peace rather than becoming stumbling blocks to one another.This passage teaches us that we belong to the same Savior, we serve the same Lord, and we are accountable to the same Judge. In Christ, liberty and love work together to build up the body, not tear it down.If you have ever struggled with differences in the church or wondered how to walk in love toward others who see things differently, Romans 14:1–23 gives wisdom and clarity rooted in the grace of Christ.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL- ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborRomans 14 sermon, gospel stumbling blocks, unity in the church, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Romans Bible study, Paul letter to the Romans, faith and liberty in Christ, how to handle differences in church, Christian love and unity, building up the body of Christ

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Randy Duncan “Why Are You Anxious?” and hear from Amy Duncan on why she chose “The Lord Will Provide" for worship on Sunday.   Digging Deeper Questions: What does Paul mean when he says to "take every thought captive to Christ"? What are the effects of allowing thoughts to run wild? How does worry play out like functional atheism in our lives? Why do you think Jesus ended His discussion on worry with these words, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”? How is it meant to bring you comfort?   Intro/Outro Song: "Only One" Nate Zuellig ULC Artist In Residence   "The Lord Will Provide" Brett Younker, Chris Davenport, Jess Cates CCLI Song # 7227727   CCLI License # 11254293

In a fallen world, things are not always what they seem to be. Such is the case in 2 Samuel 6, when the Lord kills Uzzah for simply touching the Ark of the Covenant in the wrong fashion. We are drawn to question God - "is this really the God I choose to serve?" In today's episode, we return to Paul's sermon series from the archives, David: A Matter of the Heart. This week, Paul explains that this story is actually a case study about the holiness of God, and that His holiness is our only hope.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

Anyone can read words on a page, but the words in Scripture do not make a difference until the Holy Spirit reveals the truth in a life-changing way. Rather than just reading the words, we need to ask God to help those words jump off the page and infiltrate our lives so that we begin to understand the depths of His love and the change it makes in our lives is noticeable to others.

Give to help Chris continue to make Truce Bob Jones University v. United States (1983) was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that addressed whether the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could deny tax-exempt status to private religious schools that practiced racially discriminatory policies. Bob Jones University, a fundamentalist Christian institution, prohibited interracial dating and marriage among its students based on its religious beliefs. In 1970, the IRS revised its policy to deny tax-exempt status to private schools with racially discriminatory admissions policies, prompting Bob Jones University to file suit after losing its exemption. The university argued that the IRS's actions violated its First Amendment rights to free exercise of religion. The central question for the Court was whether the government's interest in eradicating racial discrimination in education outweighed the burden on religious freedom imposed by the denial of tax-exempt status. The case thus pitted two core constitutional principles against each other: religious liberty and the government's interest in promoting equality. In an 8–1 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the IRS's position. Chief Justice Warren Burger, writing for the majority, stated that tax-exempt status is a form of government subsidy and that organizations seeking this benefit must serve a public interest. The Court held that eliminating racial discrimination in education was a "fundamental, overriding interest" that justified the burden on the university's religious practices. It emphasized that the government is not required to subsidize discriminatory behavior, even when it is religiously motivated. The ruling had significant implications. It clarified that tax-exempt status is conditional upon compliance with fundamental public policy, including civil rights laws. The decision reinforced the principle that religious freedom, while protected, does not allow institutions to violate core public values when receiving government benefits. This case remains a key precedent in balancing religious liberty with broader societal interests in equality and nondiscrimination. Sources: The Story of Bob Jones University v.

Jesus tells us to forgive freely, fully, and immediately...

Jesus makes it blatantly clear in John 15 that HE alone is the VINE…and we are the branches. That's not an insult, but rather the embodiment of our God-given purpose in life! When “branches” try to pretend like they're “the vine,” life gets complicated, confusing and chaotic! Branches have 2 functions: Remain in the Vine & Produce Fruit. Be the branch! -----Official WebsiteInstagramTwitterFacebook

Have you ever felt God calling you back to the very place you once ran from?Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul unpacks Moses' return, God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart, and how Scripture holds together both God's sovereignty and our responsibility in every choice we make.

There is a difference between memorizing different facts about God and Scripture and actually meditating on the truth we find in Scripture so that it makes a difference in our lives. When we read the Bible we need to chew on the things that it says, thinking deeply and praying about how we can apply it.

In this world, traps are constantly baited...

October 5, 2025 | Ben Mandrell preaches from Luke 5:1–11 on Jesus' calling of fishermen to become fishers of men. How do we react when called by God? Are we filled with pride, driven to humility, or do we let fear take control? If we are willing to be used by God, He can do great things through us.For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

In this week's sermon, Pastor John reveals how sin pulls us lower when our passions rule instead of Jesus. Through Samson's story, we see that selfishness and pride ultimately lead to destruction. Yet even in our failures, God is still at work and nothing will stop His redemptive power through Christ.

Sermon by Clair Sams How To Imitate Christ www.ihconvention.com

Given on the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, 2025.

Tradition tells us that St. Dominic was given the Rosary by Our Lady, and it became one of the principle means for him to defeat the Albigensian heresy. Moreover, we know that it is through the power of the Rosary that victory was attained against all odds over the Muslims at the Battle of Lepanto. These are but two of the innumerable blessings received through the power of the Rosary--a great devotion that has has spread throughout Christendom over the centuries.
