Podcasts about sins

A listener named Kay asks a question about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. "When going to confession, do you have to detail every instance [of sin]?" She asks. "For example, if you tend to embellish the truth, do you describe every time you lie? Or if you have been promiscuous, do you have to detail every instance?"

What is the natural state of humanity apart from God's saving grace? I. We are spiritually dead, v1. II. We are disobedient, vv2-3a. III. We are doomed, v3b. 

“O Happy Day!” is a gospel song by the Edwin Hawkins Singers that made it to the top of the charts during the late 60's and early 70's worldwide! Our current guest, Miss Lillie Knauls, with her radiant smile and festive hats, who herself has been used mightily by the Lord, was a singer in that choir, and explains the mysterious way that happened! She also became one of the singers featured on the Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming television program, videos, and tours!

If our sins are taken away, why does Romans 4:7 say "covered"? What does "work out your salvation with fear and trembling" really mean? Does Galatians 2:20 say we live by faith "in" Christ or by the faith "of" Christ?

S.365 The Mystery of Secret Faults and Presumptuous Sins by Apostle Grace Lubega

S.365 The Mystery of Secret Faults and Presumptuous Sins by Apostle Grace Lubega

(This podcast was previously published on January 22, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    John 6:28-29  Then said they unto HIM, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on HIM whom HE hath sent.   Examples:   *  August 5, 1975   The following came into my mind.  It was God speaking to me by HIS Spirit:  "Joan.  You know those mistakes you've been making all these years?  Those weren't mistakes.  Those were sins."   SINS!  I had no idea they were sins.  But I knew this word I had heard was true!   (With that I was born again.)   ***   * 1977   I was scheduled to testify at a court trial.  I heard:  "Don't testify."  I believed that was a word from God.   I told my lawyer I was not going to be able to testify.  He said he thought we would win the case anyway because Flo had also witnessed the event and she would testify.   Now the persecution is going to come "for the Word's sake", to try to drive me away from obeying that word which I believed to be from God.   When Flo learned I would not be testifying, she became very angry with me and said:  "Now all the burden will be on me since you won't testify.  I replied, "What can I do?  I believe God told me not to testify so I can't testify.   Then the man I was dating said, "Joan you aren't doing this woman any good by not testifying."  I replied, "I'm not trying to do her any good.  I believe God told me not to testify so I can't testify."   Then during the court trial, my lawyer came to me and said, "Flo's testimony wasn't as strong as I had hoped for.  But if you will testify we will win this case."  I replied, "I'll see."  I went into the ladies room at the courthouse and prayed asking God what HE wanted me to do and I heard, "Don't testify."   I returned to the court room and just shook my head indicating "no" to my lawyer.   The court case proceeded.  I did not testify.  We won the case.   More examples of believing you've heard from God and doing that word will be recorded on this Podcast.   ***   *  1978   I owned a small business in American Indian Arts at the time I was born again.   During this time, an itinerant salesman of Indian arts filed a lawsuit against me.  I hired a lawyer to defend me. But the legal fees were eating up all the profit from my business, and God had shown me to get out of debt and to stay out of debt and I had done that.  Now I was faced with the prospect of having to go back into debt because of the bills from my own lawyer.   The Holy Spirit called the following scripture to my attention:   Isaiah 54:17   No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.   I looked at that scripture and began to reason:   I'm a Christian now so this promise of God applies to me.   This weapon of this lawsuit cannot prosper against me.  So why am I having a lawyer represent me in court.  I can stop the legal bills by dismissing my lawyer from the case and I can go to court without any human legal counsel.   I was a very new Christian at that time so I decided to make an appointment with my pastor and tell him my plans.   As I drove to meet my pastor, I was praying, asking God to give the pastor wisdom.   James 1:5   If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.   After I told the story to the pastor and revealed my plan to him, pastor said:  "Joan, I perceive you have faith to handle this situation this way."   I released my lawyer.   Lawyer said, "Joan, you don't know how evil these courts are today.  You can't do this."     Then lawyer said, "We're willing to work with you.  It will only take about $10,000 more to try your case."   I was shocked and screamed, "$10,000  MORE ... Gordon,   STOP ... Don't do anything else!"   A week later, Gordon came to my business to speak with me.  He said:  "Joan, we have decided to try your case without any further legal fees."   But I didn't hear God mentioned in this plan!   So I told Gordon I would need to get back with him with this.   What is going on here?   One week it is going to cost $10,000 MORE to try the case.  The next week it is free to me.   I began praying, asking God what HE wanted me to do.   The Holy Spirit reminded me of a scripture to show me the will of God in this matter.   Genesis 14:21-23   And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:   I knew God was saying:  Turn down the free legal service and plan to go to court without any human legal counsel.   (After seeing what Abraham did in setting his life for his provision to be from God, I wanted my life to be where my provision was from God!)   I refused the free legal counsel.   During those weeks before the scheduled court case, God reminded me of many scriptures.  I wrote down each scripture and kept it before me day and night as I had learned to do from Joshua 1:8.   God said to Joshua:  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  (Joshua 1:8)   I knew this same thing applied to us today.   Also I knew Psalm 1.   1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.   2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.   3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.   God, by HIS Spirit, had reminded me of several scriptures during this period of time.  I recorded each of these scriptures over and over on a cassette tape on both sides of the tape.  When I would go to bed I would turn on the tape and hear these scriptures and fall asleep to the scriptures playing.  Then when I would awaken in the night, I would turn the cassette tape over and play the other side and fall asleep to scripture.   I did this all night each night to build my faith in what God had said to me and also to fight fear.   Six days before the trial was scheduled in US District Court, the man suing me dropped all charges.   It was over.   But God taught me a lot about having faith in HIM and in HIS Word and how HIS WORD given by the Holy Spirit will never fail.   ***   During the next 40 years, God spoke to me many times by HIS Holy Spirit who brought information to my mind concerning the situations of this present life.

Today is day 346 and we are studying The Ninth Commandment. 346. When is it right to speak of your neighbor's sins?

Jesus Followers Are Expected, by God, to Confess their Sins and Plead for Forgiveness {Penitence} Real Time MESSAGE SUMMARY: Penitence is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. Penitence is a daily and moment by moment, real time, occurrence. None of us is perfect, and not one of us always does the will of God. Paul, in Romans 2:4-5, is unequivocal in establishing the need for your continuing penitence and the consequences of your not repenting of your sins on a real-time basis: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Therefore, we all need to repent and return to the Lord. You can become cocky and arrogant in your spiritual life – “I am a Christian; God has done this for me.”. As the Psalmist tells us in Psalms 32:5 of his confession and his penitence: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.". You can rest on our perceived laurels; but these perceptions, of personal goodness and righteousness, can lead you quickly to a need for your penitence.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Mathew 3:8-11; Romans 2:4-5; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Psalms 140:1-13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Þessar vikurnar streyma nýútgefnar bækur í bókabúðir og verslanir um allt land í hinu svokallaða  jólabókaflóði . Hugtakið vísar til þess þegar nýjar bækur „flæða“ inn á markaðinn rétt fyrir jólin – þetta hugtak er að sjálfsögðu að löngu orðið rótgróið í íslenskri tungu, en á undanförnum árum hefur hugtakið „jólabókaflóð“ byrjað að skjóta upp kollinum á ólíkum tungumálum í erlendum fjölmiðlum. Branislav Bedi, verkefnastjóri hjá Árnastofnun, sest hjá okkur í upphafi þáttar til að segja okkur meira. Svo kíkjum við í heimsókn á leikskólann Hlíðarenda. Þar finnur starfsfólk fyrir spenningnum og tilhlökkuninni sem eykst hjá börnunum eftir því sem nær dregur jólunum. Sigrún Inga Reynisdóttir deildarstjóri segir mikilvægt að skapa rólegt umhverfi í kringum börnin í desember. Við fáum einnig að heyra í Unni, 5 ára, og Matthíasi Myrkva, 4 ára. Þau segja okkur allt um Grýlu, jólagjafir, jólasveina og syngja fyrir okkur jólalög. Þegar jólaösin er komin á fullt er mikilvægt að gefa sér tíma og staldra við. Það er auðvelt að gleyma sér í streitunni og því skiptir máli að nálgast jólahátíðina með ró, njóta góðra stunda og tengsla við fólkið í kringum sig. Sigrún Þóra Sveinsdóttir, doktor í lífeðlisfræðilegri sálfræði, kíkir til okkar í lok þáttar og gefur okkur góð ráð til að halda púlsinum niðri í jólaösinni. En við byrjum á jólabókaflóðinu.

In this fourth part of the Five Blasphemies series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran talk about the serious offense of keeping children away from the Blessed Mother or teaching them to fear or reject her. They share Scripture, personal insights, and experiences that show how the enemy tries to influence children early—and why introducing them to Mary helps form hearts rooted in faith, purity, and protection. They also highlight helpful resources for families: • Fatima Friends Adventure Guide — a fun and meaningful way to teach children about Mary, Fatima, Marian Consecration, and the Fatima children. • Passport + Treasures of the First Saturday Devotion — an $8 set designed to support families and individuals joining the First Saturday Pilgrimage. Next week: The final episode of the series, covering the fifth blasphemy against the Immaculate Heart.

Colossians Chapter 1 Study: The Preeminence of Christ and Reconciliation Introduction Encouragement to study Colossians chapter 1, focusing on the preeminence of Christ and the power of God. Acknowledging personal feelings of inadequacy but emphasizing trust in God’s power to feed His sheep. God uses “foolishness of preaching” to save believers. Reference to Colossians 1:18-22 as the text for the message. “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;” “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled” “In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight” Prayer for God’s help and for the truth to find its place in hearts. The Inward Man vs. The Outward Man Concept of Inner and Outer Self Most people don’t understand the concept of the inward and outward man. There is an unseen man on the inside. God looks at the heart (inward man), not just the outward appearance. Example: Samuel anointing a new king for Israel. Salvation of the Inward Man God saves the inward man, not the outward man (which returns to dust). The inward man must be reconciled to God. The Second Death If one is only born once (physically), there are two deaths in the future. It’s dangerous to be unreconciled to God, even momentarily. If you die without being born again, your soul is unprepared to meet God. Eternity is the most important subject to consider. Need to call on God before it’s too late. God’s Work of Reconciliation and Cleansing Miraculous Work of Salvation Personal testimony of being saved in 1976. Salvation is a miraculous, irreversible work that provides eternal life. Promise of never perishing. Ephesians 1:3-4, 7 Blessed with spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Chosen in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame. Redemption through His blood and forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace. Colossians 1:22 Presented holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in His sight through the body of His flesh through death. Reconciliation Through Christ’s Blood God reconciled us through the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus paid for and cleansed us of all sin (past, present, and future). God paid the penalty for our sin debt before we ever could. Calvary’s cross provided forgiveness for all future sins. Promise of being presented to the Father as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. Purity of the Bride of Christ The bride of Christ (the church) has been made pure. God chose us before the foundation of the world and made a way for all sins to be paid for on the cross. We are made holy, unblameable, and unreprovable through Jesus’ sacrifice. Ephesians 1:4 Confirmation We should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Eternal Security Once born again, one is forever taken care of and will never be lost again. God’s plan at Calvary satisfied the justice of God for the penalty of man’s sin. God recognizes the work of His Son in us, making us holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. We are the sons of God because of the blood shed for our souls. We go to heaven because of what Jesus did, not what we’ve done. Addressing the Misconception of License to Sin Addressing the Misconception Addressing the idea that being forever clean gives a license to sin. Apostle Paul’s response in Romans: “How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” Born-again individuals cannot live in sin. A new creature inside loves what was once hated and hates what was once loved. If truly born again, something bigger on the inside will chastise and bring one home. Isaiah 1:18 Though sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Jesus Christ’s sacrifice makes us white and clean in the blood of the Lamb. Everything we’ve ever done falls under the blood of Jesus Christ. Desire to Live Righteously Desire to live the way God wants us to live, not alienated from God or the church. Wanting to live without sin in our hearts. Payment for All Sin At salvation, all sins (past, present, and future) were paid for with Jesus’ blood. God accepted that payment and purged us of sin. Sealed to the Day of Redemption God sealed what He made white, pure, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable with the power of His Holy Spirit. Sins are gone and under the blood of Jesus Christ. Importance of Repentance and Fellowship Fellowship with God depends on willingness to repent daily. Repentance restores fellowship with God. Even if death occurs without a moment to repent, one dies clean, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable because the blood paid for all sin. Everything needed to make us perfect in Christ has been done. Freedom from Fear Freedom from living in fear over salvation. Belief in Jesus’ words: “I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish.” This statement is valid only if all sins were paid for, not just in part. Made holy, unblameable, and unreprovable and sealed to the day of redemption. Holiness and Righteousness Imputed Through Christ Being Holy as God is Holy The only way to be holy is through Christ. Romans 4:22-25 Righteousness was imputed to Abraham because of his faith. This was written for us also, to whom it shall be imputed if we believe on Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. Jesus was delivered for our offenses and raised again for our justification. Presented as Holy Jesus will present us to God the Father as holy. Holy means righteous, all right, not wrong. Focus on the inward man, not the outward man. Righteousness of Christ Imputed The righteousness of Jesus Christ, not our own, is imputed to us when we turn our hearts over to Christ. It was laid to our account and placed in our hearts, sealed until the day of redemption. Assurance of Salvation Not worrying about sin because, according to the Word of God, sins are gone. Sins are under the blood and gone forever. Living as Holy in Heart Desire to live as holy in the flesh as we are in the heart. God doesn’t halfway forgive sin; He forgives all sin. We are clean and white in the eyes of God. God’s Justice Satisfied The blood of Jesus Christ satisfied God’s justice. We are presented holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in His sight. This is only possible if He deals with our sin, which He did. Eternal Payment for Sin Jesus forever paid our sin debt, and we are saved forevermore. If He didn’t preserve us in that white, holy condition, we wouldn’t have a chance of getting into heaven. Every hope is anchored in the blood of the Lamb. Saved because of what Jesus did, the propitiation for all our sin. Unblameable and Unreprovable: A Miraculous Work Unblameable and Unreprovable Holy, unblameable, and unreprovable are the same concept. A person who cannot be blamed cannot be reproved. Reproving in the flesh helps us walk according to what’s in the heart. Cannot reprove what’s inside the soul; it’s either right with God or not. God had to do something miraculous to make our souls unblameable. Superiority of New Covenant We have something Job didn’t have. Job had great faith, but the blood of Jesus Christ had not yet been shed. Jesus rose from the dead, gathered up that blood, and presented it to God the Father as payment for our sins. Everyone who bows in the name of Jesus Christ can be born again and have their sins washed away. Perfection Through Christ Cannot be saved again because you can’t make perfect water. Cannot go to heaven if you aren’t perfect. Hebrews 9:11-12 Christ came as a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle. He entered the holy place once with His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. He made us perfect on the inside. John 1:29 John the Baptist saw Jesus coming and said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” Jesus died for sins we’ve yet to commit. Salvation wouldn’t be worth anything if it only covered past sins. He died for the sin of the whole world. God’s Perspective God will present us to the Father as holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. If God says we are unblameable and unreprovable in His sight, we should rejoice. No boasting or works are involved; we have no means of getting to God except through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Cleansing from All Sin and the New Birth 1 John 1:7 If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin. Cleansing from all sin is not about turning over a new leaf. Worthlessness of Self-Righteousness Salvation is not about what we do or will do. Kicking habits or stopping addictions doesn’t merit favor with God. Our righteousness is nothing but filthy rags. The flesh will return to dust, but something inside us was forever made holy and unblameable. Necessity of New Birth Either Jesus’ blood was sufficient for all our sins, or we need to live in constant fear. God knew saving the flesh was impossible because its nature is sinful. Jesus told Nicodemus we must be born again. We are new creatures in Christ because we are born again in the Spirit of God. Two Births, One Death Born once, die twice (physical death and lake of fire). Born twice, die once (only physical death). Boasting in the Lamb of God Boasting about the Lamb of God who shed His blood for our souls. Because we’ve been born again, we get to go to heaven, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Justified means there is no condemnation, sin, or culpability. Devil’s Accusations The devil tries to blame, accuse, and reprove us. We end up at the altar where we bow our knee to Him, and the Holy Ghost of God purges us of sin. We have been made clean in the sight of God. We have something to be grateful for; God made a way. We can’t mess this up. Eternal Security and the Gift of Salvation No Need for Retuning No need to get “tuned up” on the inside man again. There is no “black” (sin) inside; it’s all in the nature of the flesh. That which He bought, purged, cleansed, and sealed to the day of redemption must be perfect and holy. Jesus’ promises of eternal life and never perishing would mean nothing if our sins weren’t gone forever. Justification Through Grace Being justified just as if we’d never sinned, freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus. God set forth Jesus to be a propitiation through faith in His blood. Assurance of Salvation The gift we got will never be in question. Hope that others have experienced the same and will get there. If you die tonight and have been born again, He will present you unto God holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. He did the work once, immediately, for all, and then sealed it. Salvation by Grace, Not Works We get to go to heaven not because of anything we’ve done that was good. No message preached or good deed done will get us into heaven. For the same reason good works won’t get us in, bad works cannot keep us out. Purged and Sealed He purged our sin, looked into the inward man, and identified all the dark past and future sins. The blood has paid for all sin, and it was cleansed and made white that day. He sealed it until the day He redeems us. Day of Redemption The day of redemption is when this old body expires. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. The Holy Spirit will no longer need to be sealed on us; we will be with Him. Doctrinal Belief This is doctrinal to our faith and what we believe. Sometimes we don’t remind ourselves of what great gift God has given us. Illustration of the Slave Girl and the Auction Block Story of the Slave Girl A young slave girl was being sold on the auction block, stripped from her family. She grew hateful toward all those bidding for her. One man bid a price far above what anyone else could pay and bought her. He tore up her papers and said, “You’re free.” She went after him and said she would serve him for the rest of her life. He bought her so he could set her free. Application to Salvation We serve God because we are debtors to Him. We will never be able to repay Him for what He did for us that day as a child. After millions of years, we will still be thanking Him for saving our souls. God’s Perspective When we see our regret, God sees the cross. When we see our sin debt, God sees the price paid in full by His only begotten Son. When we see our multitude of sins, God sees the blood of the spotless Lamb. When we say, “O wretched man that I am,” God says we are righteous because of Jesus Christ and what has been imputed into our hearts. Living a Life Worthy of Salvation Sons of God Whether we act like it or not, if we’ve been born again, the blood of Jesus Christ has made us sons of God. We ought to act like it and live every day of our lives 100% sold out and surrendered to the will of Jesus Christ. He’s worthy of no less than that. Assurance of Salvation If you’ve been born again, you’re going to heaven. He’s going to present you unto the Father, holy, unblameable, and unreprovable. You don’t deserve to go, but He made you worthy. That’s worth living for; whatever He says to do, we ought to do it. There aren’t enough devils in hell to keep us out of it if we’ve been born again. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. The only thing you can do with a gift is receive it. Invitation to Receive the Gift God made a way for you to be saved tonight. Religion won’t get you there; you must know Jesus Christ as your Savior. If you know Him in the free pardon of sin, who has done a work in you and made you holy, unblameable, and imputed the righteousness of the perfect one, then you can raise your hand and say thank you. Come forward if you don’t know Him tonight and receive this gift. Gratitude for Salvation Thank God for the blood of Jesus Christ. We have a lot to be grateful for. We can fall on our knees every day and shout hallelujah; He’s made us clean through the blood of the Lamb.

Elder Fred Smith on the respectabel sin of judgementalism. 

Jase, Al, and Zach respond to an emotionally raw husband who finally confessed his lifelong porn problem and is now facing the painful fallout. The guys talk honestly about how secrets choke intimacy, why confession hurts before it heals, and how hiding only multiplies the damage that sin has already done. They pivot into Phil's old “soul-sleep” way of describing death and compare it to Jesus' promise of paradise and Paul's glimpses of the world to come. The guys land on why believers can face both confession and death with confidence: in Christ, neither your darkest secret nor your final breath gets the last word.

What do we mean when we say Jesus “takes away the sins of the world”? Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks unpack how sin ruptures relationship—with God, others, creation, and even our own hearts—and how Christ repairs that rupture. We explore justice, mercy, and why divine love doesn't erase consequences but enters them, heals us, and restores right worship and communion. We also contrast Adam's fall with Christ's redeeming love and consider our part: God saves us with our cooperation. Through it all we keep the three lenses clear—honesty with self, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasSin's effects: rupture with God, one another, creation, and self; shame, blame, mistrust, and debt remain until healed.How Christ “takes away” sin: self-sacrificing love enters our wounds, satisfies justice, restores communion, and divinizes us by union with Him.Mercy doesn't cancel consequences: relationships still need repair, trust-building, and inner healing—grace empowers the work.Not a spectator sport: “created without us; redeemed with us”—our free cooperation (repentance, worship, acts of love) matters.From Fall to fullness: covenant history rises and falls until Christ; in Him, grace sustains steady growth toward holiness.Links & ReferencesScripture named (no links):The Fall and its ruptures (Genesis 3).“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).Healings linked to faith (e.g., Mark 5:34; Luke 7:50; Luke 8:48).Liturgy referenced (no link): Agnus Dei (“Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world…”).CTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

This Sunday is Commitment Sunday! In this week's message, we want to ask the question: What amazes Jesus? We know that Jesus is amazing—but what amazes Him? As we look again at the story in Mark 2, we discover that people's faith amazes Jesus. Every time people do extraordinary things on behalf of someone else to demonstrate their faith in Him, He is amazed. We see this in the story of the paralytic, where Jesus was amazed by the faith of the friends.During this message, Pastor Jeff Moes presents the  opportunity to bring forward your commitment card. You'll have the ability to demonstrate your family's faith and trust in Jesus by making a three-year financial pledge and committing to reach one person who doesn't yet know Him. Please come pray over your One & your commitment. There is a link below to bring forth your commitment below.--Commit HereWebsiteFacebookInstagramSunday SetlistConnect with us!How can we prayer for you? Let us know.

God Gives a Jesus Follower's Life Meaning and Purpose, Satisfies their Hunger to Know Their Life's Purpose, and Forgives Their Sins MESSAGE SUMMARY: As Jesus tells us in John 15:12-14, that you, as His follower, are His “friend: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends.". God became flesh, and He dwelt among us. God became human to draw you into a personal relationship with Him. In John 1:14, the Apostle John identifies Jesus as the “Son of the Father”: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.". God alone can satisfy the meaning and purpose of your life. God alone can satisfy your hunger to know your life's meaning. Most importantly, God alone can give you forgiveness of your sins as Paul tells us in Colossians 2:13-14: “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.". Jesus' life, miracles, death, and His Resurrection are invitations to a life-long personal relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe. Our personal relationship with God is through His gift, to Jesus Followers, of the Holy Spirit.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to grab hold of you today. I need you.

Episode 218Have you ever recommended a Christian fiction book, only to preface the recommendation with tons of warnings, disclaimers, or caveats? Why are there so few books in that genre that can be recommended without reservation? Today on the Removing Barriers podcast, we interview a guest who at one point wondered the same thing and decided to do something about it. Bethany Klassen was born in Canada but grew up in Mexico after her parents obeyed God's call on their lives to serve the Mennonite population there as missionaries. An avid reader from her youth, Bethany always struggled to find books that exalted Christ and did not pollute the reader with questionable content or doctrine. She is now a talented author that has stepped into the Christian fiction space to create books with biblical (not just moral) values, encouraging stories, and the shameless exaltation of Christ. Her works include Sins of the Past, Tomorrow's Promise, and the newly published Seven Seconds. Listen in as we interview her about her upbringing as a missionary kid, her motivations and goals in writing Christian fiction, and the future endeavors God has in store for her. We will also be giving away one of her novels, so stay tuned for details on how to score a copy of your own.Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here:Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edifi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Meec7nsv⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/mga8A77⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podnews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact us:Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Financially support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Affiliates:Book Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christian Books . com: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/home?event=AFF&p=1236574⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠See all our affiliates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Notes:Bethany's Books: https://www.bethanyklassenbooks.com/

How to make smarter decisions that improve your life by understanding your mind and it's hidden psychology. We are all storytelling creatures, desperate to fit the world into a narrative that makes sense to us. Thus, we build echo chambers not because we are stupid, but because we are afraid. The Confirmation Bias is a shield against the discomfort of being wrong. The Availability Bias shapes our worldview based on the loudest stories, not the most important facts. This episode reviews 7 cognitive biases the explore the friction between what is comfortable and what is true. Learning helps us build tools for the art of long-term thinking in a short-term world. Audit your inputs: Step outside your algorithmic feed to find the friction of opposing views. Reframe the risk: Turn "Black Swan" surprises into "White Swan" predictions by analyzing the unsexy data. Choose commitment: Overcome the paralysis of infinite choice by making a "good enough" decision and sticking to it. Go make a ruckus by choosing to think clearly today. SPONSORS

In this episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran continue the series on the five sins that wound the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today they reflect on the blasphemies spoken against Mary's Divine Motherhood, a truth defended by the early Church and proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus. Barb and Katie explain why Mary is rightly called Mother of God, how this dogma protects the truth about Christ's identity, and why denying her Divine Motherhood impacts our understanding of her mission and our faith. They also discuss the roots of this teaching, the Nestorian heresy, and the spiritual importance of honoring Mary as both the Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother. As always, they connect these teachings to the First Saturday devotion and the call to offer reparation through prayer and love. Watch out for Episode 4, where Barb and Katie continue the series with the next sin against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

About the Guest: Dr. John A. King is a poet, author of 27 books, speaker, former executive, and trauma-focused performance strategist who helps high-achieving leaders confront the internal battles they've spent a lifetime avoiding. Known for his blunt honesty, deep compassion, and the Finnish concept of sisu—“white-knuckled courage in the face of overwhelming odds”—John teaches others how to build “relentless resilience” from the inside out. His upcoming fiction thriller Sins of the Father continues his mission of transforming pain into purposeful creative work.Episode Summary: In this raw, deeply human conversation, Steve Mellor sits down with Dr. John A. King to explore the real meaning of growth: facing yourself. Not the polished, curated, high-performance version of yourself — but the unfiltered, uncomfortable truth you've avoided for years.John shares the moment his past crashed into his present (“Johnageddon”), how he rebuilt his identity from the inside out, and why most people never stop long enough to actually ask: Who am I? And what do I truly want?From trauma, resilience, morning routines, authenticity, performance myths, and redefining success, this episode is part gut punch, part wake-up call — especially for leaders who want to grow without losing themselves.Takeaways:The real meaning of relentless resilience and sisuWhy men struggle to confront their internal worldThe myth of the “performance mindset” industryAuthenticity vs. living from the outside inHow trauma masquerades as drive and ambitionThe hidden cost of success without self-awarenessBuilding rules & habits that stabilize your lifeWhy rejection doesn't sting when you're at peace with yourselfLetting your past refine you — not define youThe daily work of becoming someone you actually enjoy being withLinks & Resources MentionedDr. John A.
