Podcasts about simply jesus

N. T. Wright is perhaps the most influential New Testament scholar of our generation. He is an Anglican bishop, having served as the Bishop of Durham and as a Lord Spiritual in the UK Parliament. He then became a research professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary's College at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and later a senior research fellow at Wycliffe Hall at Oxford.Bishop Wright is the author of over seventy books, many of which are highly regarded as top academic scholarship. But his influence on regular run-of-the-mill Christians is greatest through his many books written at a more popular level, including the three books Simply Christian, Simply Jesus, and After You Believe, which guide readers in faith and Christian living.And, of course, Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church. In that groundbreaking book, Tom Wright dismantled the narrative we all assumed was the gospel story: that we are saved in order to go to heaven. He wrote that our hope for the future is our physical resurrection to live with God in the New Heavens and New Earth.This new book, God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal (HarperOne, 2025), almost serves as a sequel to that. He returns to the grand narrative of the Bible and explains that God's promise has always been that he would dwell with humans in a renewed creation. God's home has been, and always will be, with us.Thanks for listening!If you enjoyed this podcast, please share it with your friends!Your hosts are Dr. Bob Robinson and David Loughney.

What if Christianity was never meant to be about escaping earth for heaven, but about God coming home to the world? In this episode, I sit down with N. T. Wright for a wide-ranging conversation that reclaims the Bible's larger story: heaven and earth meant to overlap, God dwelling with humanity, and new creation beginning now. We explore temples and tabernacles, resurrection and judgment, what it truly means to be human, and how the church is called to reflect God's presence in a fractured world. Drawing from Wright's latest book God's Homecoming, this conversation invites youto rethink faith, hope, justice, and the future of the world and to rediscover a gospel that is far bigger, richer, and more grounded than we thought.N. T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world's leading Bible scholars. He is Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, and Senior Editor at Saint Andrews. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and NPR's Fresh Air. Wright is the award-winning author of many books, including Paul: A Biography, Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, The Day the Revolution Began, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, and Scripture and the Authority of God.N.T.

The Seed of Abraham | Simply Jesus | Pastor Robert Rivera by Riverside Church

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Im gonna make you an offer you can't refuse…  What exactly does that mean… It is such a great offer I just can't refuse it OR because of whom is offering you better not refuse it or it could be the last offer you ever get before you eat a bullet.   1. Tom Hagen in The Godfather (1972) One of the best examples of "delegated authority" is Tom Hagen acting as the consigliere. When he visits the film producer Jack Woltz in Los Angeles, he is physically unassuming and polite. However, he makes it crystal clear that he isn't speaking for himself; he is the voice of Vito Corleone. The Power Move: Hagen calmly explains that Mr. Corleone is a man who "insists on hearing bad news immediately." He wields the Don's entire criminal empire through a quiet dinner conversation.     Special Instructions on "How" Beyond the "what" and "where," the Bible gives specific tactical advice: In Secret: Jesus warned against performing for an audience. He suggested going into a "closet" or inner room (Matthew 6:6) to keep the motive pure. With Persistence: The parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8) teaches us not to give up if an answer doesn't come immediately. In the Spirit: Paul mentions praying "in the Spirit" (Ephesians 6:18), which implies a deep, divinely-guided connection beyond just reciting words. Briefly and Simply: Jesus cautioned against "vain repetitions" (Matthew 6:7). God isn't impressed by a high word count; He's looking for sincerity. In Jesus' Name: This isn't a magic phrase at the end of a prayer; it means praying in alignment with His character and authority (John 14:13).

Authorized By The Blood | Simply Jesus | Pastor Caleb Slavik by Riverside Church

The Seed of the Women | Simply Jesus | Pastor Caleb Rivera by Riverside Church

“We leven al tweeduizend jaar na Jezus. Zou het kunnen dat we onderweg iets van de oorspronkelijke eenvoud zijn kwijtgeraakt?” In deze beschouwende boodschap neemt David je mee in zijn reis van geloof en twijfel. Hij onderzoekt hoe de beweging van Jezus begon — niet als een religie, maar als een revolutionaire weg van liefde, gelijkheid en innerlijke verandering. Een oproep tot ontwaken, eenvoud en liefde — Simply Jesus.

Sermon Series: Standalone | Passage: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

In deze Rauw Talk gaat David in gesprek met W. Paul Young, de auteur van het wereldwijde fenomeen The Shack (De Uitnodiging). In aanloop naar zijn komst naar Simply Jesus in november, krijg je in deze aflevering een uniek voorproefje van zijn verhaal. We duiken diep in zijn indrukwekkende levensreis: van een jeugd vol geweld en seksueel misbruik, tot het overspel dat zijn huwelijk op het spel zette.

"For a long time, I thought church communities should be filled with people who looked and thought alike. But our differences are a gift. There is richness in different generations, cultures, and even denominational traditions. We unite around core truths — like the authority of Scripture and the resurrection of Jesus — but we don't have to be spiritual clones." -Melissa ZaldivarLeave a comment: https://incourage.me/?p=251866--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: Easter — a keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

In week two of the "Simply Jesus" Lenten series, Pastor Seth Drewry from Believers Fellowship in Belleville, AR delves into the temptations of Jesus as depicted in Luke 4:1-13. Pastor Seth highlights how Jesus, although tempted like us, remained unyielding to sin. Through fasting and prayer, Jesus finds strength and effectively uses Scripture to counter temptation, illustrating how God provides the resources to resist sin. Pastor Seth explains that Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness equip Him to understand our struggles deeply, as He experienced the same trials and temptations in human form. With this empathy, He offers us guidance and victory over sin. By following Jesus' example, we can find empowerment in times of trial, renew our commitment during Lent, and look forward to a harvest of heart transformation on Easter Sunday.Join us next week at Believers Fellowship.

"We are parented by God toward rootedness in the same way that parents work to root their children in Christ – through worship, prayer, and His word. We need strong roots when inevitable storms come, to keep us steady when the winds of life blow.Then, God parents us toward using our wings, reminding us that when we place our hope in Him, we will “soar on wings like eagles, … run and now grow weary, … walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:3).And when we use those wings to fly, we can be assured that God goes with us."Leave a comment for Jennifer: https://incourage.me/?p=249642--This Christmas, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: The Heart of Christmas — a beautiful keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

"Serving well begins with asking for suggestions, listening carefully, and getting creative by anticipating all sorts of needs. Recently in a conversation with my sister (who's been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer) and brother-in-law, they mentioned the awkward position they've repeatedly found themselves in with people wanting to help.   What is offered isn't what they need, and they don't know how to express this for fear of sounding ungrateful. Well-meaning friends make assumptions about what is helpful. Most people (including me!) offer food, but it has to be when it fits their schedule. What we fail to consider is how full the person's refrigerator may already be, how small their appetite is from treatment or sickness, how our timing isn't aligned with their existing plans, and how guilty or unappreciative the person feels from having to throw out excess food they simply can't eat.   Even if we ask open-ended questions about how to help, it's awkward for the person to express what they really could use.  When I realized there were better ways to help others going through similar circumstances, I asked my sister, brother-in-law, and friends for suggestions." Read Robin's list and leave her a comment: https://incourage.me/?p=237802--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: The Heart of Easter – a new keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

You haven't lost your ability to hear Him well, you may have just entered a new level of intimacy with God.

"God will never abandon you in your time of grief. When you feel completely alone in this world, turn to God's Word for comfort.  When the tears won't stop, turn to God to dry your tears.  When you feel like you've utterly hit rock bottom, turn to God for hope.  He's there with you, in the fallow season, whispering in your ear, “I've got you. You're going to be OK.”  This might not feel like encouragement right now, but someday you'll look back on what you're going through and see how God sustained you."Leave a comment for Michelle: https://incourage.me/?p=237865--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: The Heart of Easter – a new keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

"I learned two eye-opening (and heart-humbling) lessons:  1. Words hold the power of life and death for the person who says them.  2. Words hold the power of life and death for the person who hears them.  Our words impact our ability to do hard things. And our words impact the ability of other people to do hard things. Yes, there are moments when we must speak the truth about the hard thing out loud. I'm afraid. This is hard. My heart aches. But if complaints dominate our conversation, the hard thing becomes the only thing. And any power we might gain from the Spirit within us gets swallowed up by a lesser voice."Leave a comment for Michele: https://incourage.me/?p=237718--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: the Hope of Easter – a new keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

"What if we dared to replace our insistence on self-sufficiency with stubborn hope?  What if we opened ourselves up to the infinite possibilities that lie in store when we place our hope outside of ourselves?  When we stop hinging our worth based on what we can (or can't) do and instead place our hope in who God is, we might just discover that we don't find true strength in our ability to go it alone but in our willingness to surrender to a grace greater than ourselves."Leave a comment for Kayla: https://incourage.me/?p=237690--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: the Hope of Easter – a new keepsake magazine from DaySpring.
