Podcasts about sleeping church

Lead Pastor - Tim Hatch

Today, on the C-Suite for Christ Podcast, we sound the spiritual alarm: “Keep your lamps lit!”—because darkness is sprinting, comfort is killing vigilance, and the Bridegroom is coming.Paul M. Neuberger leads the charge, calling out comfort, compromise, and cancel culture infecting boardrooms and sanctuaries alike. Ten virgins, one Bridegroom, a midnight reckoning—some were ready, most were not. In a world addicted to ease and entertainment, will you build a business and lose your soul, chase success but miss holiness, plan for retirement but forget eternity?This episode pulls no punches. The stakes are sky-high: lukewarm faith, cultural conformity, spiritual sleepwalking. Jesus is still Lord. The world may demand silence, but now is the hour to shine, to stand, to burn.What will YOU do when spiritual midnight strikes? Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in Matthew 25."In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." –Matthew 5:16Episode Highlights:05:56 – Keeping your lamp lit isn't a poetic idea, a cute Christian slogan, or a soft spiritual encouragement. It's a command. It's a lifestyle. It's a battle stance. And it represents the difference between those who endure and those who fall away, those who overcome and those who collapse, those who walk in the light and those swallowed up by the darkness.13:07 – And when Christ returns, he isn't coming back for a lukewarm, apathetic, half awake people. He's coming for those whose lamps burn fiercely through the darkness. Darkness, no matter the cost. When Jesus delivered the parable of the ten virgins, he wasn't warning about minor inconveniences or small spiritual setbacks. He was describing catastrophic consequences. The kind that determine eternal destiny. The kind that destroy families, the kind that end ministries. And the kind that leave believers blindsided in the moment that they least expect it. An unlit lamp is not just a dim spiritual life. It's a dangerous spiritual life. It's a life vulnerable to deception, seduction, confusion and collapse. It's a life without discernment, without spiritual power, without clarity. When the lamp goes out, so does the ability to recognize truth from lies, conviction from emotion, God's voice from the world's noise.22:42 – And nothing threatens compliance more than a believer whose lamp burns without apology. Why does the world want your lamp extinguished? Because a lit lamp reveals the emptiness of their definitions of identity. Because a lit lamp exposes the foolishness of their arguments. Because a lit lamp confronts the lies they want normalized.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:12 — “Do to others what you would have them do to you” — sound simple, but living them out takes more than good intentions. In this message, Pastor Mitch challenges believers to move from comfort to calling, from taking to giving, and from sleeping to serving. Discover how the Golden Rule only becomes possible when our hearts are transformed by the finished work of Christ, and learn what it means to “strengthen what remains” and live as a light to the world.

Pastor Kenny continues his series through the 7 churches of Revelation with the 5th one - Sardis: The Sleeping Church or The Dead Church. May we learn where our church fits into the lessons these churches teach us!

As we finish Revelation, we are going back to look at each of the seven churches to whom the letter of Revelation was written. Each city is unique and therefore their introduction to the letter is unique. In this sermon we are looking at the church in Sardis. Sardis was a wealthy, safe, comfortable city along five major trade routes and blessed with a river that produced gold. Its geography kept it safe except for two embarrassing moments when its walls were breeched because they had no one standing guard.Jesus see the church in Sardis in much the same way - comfortable and active, yet dead. They are missing the very thing He offers - the Spirit of God.

In this spiritual discourse, the speaker engages the idea of being complacent in one's faith, challenging the listeners to awaken from any spiritual lethargy. Referring to Amos 6 in the scriptures, he notes a great problem observed by God, where believers can become complacent or 'at ease'. Consequentially, such believers are described as having become spiritually 'asleep'. The speaker urges the listeners to reflect on their spiritual state, and to actively serve within their local churches, viewing themselves as integral parts of the larger, universal Church. He ends with a prayer for forgiveness and action, urging listeners to share the message. 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:33 The Universal Church and Local Churches 01:23 Reflections on the Song 'I Gave My Life for Thee' 02:08 Is Your Church a Sleeping Church? 02:33 Identifying the Great Problem in the Church 04:41 The Complacency of God's People 06:27 The Current World Situation and the Church's Role 08:53 Characteristics of a Sleeping Church 09:16 Closing Prayer and Encouragement 09:48 Final Remarks and Call to Action --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

In this devotion, Pastor Webster praised the expansive reach of his devotions, encouraged every church member to discover where they're spiritually well-fed, and asked the thought-provoking question: Is your church a sleeping church? He delved into the specific scriptures of Amos chapter six and Isaiah chapter 66 verse 8 to examine the dual states of complacency and labor in which church members might find themselves. He emphasized the importance of avoiding complacency and actively serving in our spiritual roles, as these are the reasons we're saved and still present on earth. Pastor Webster closed the session expressing his hope that his devotions will awaken his listeners to the responsibilities of being a part of God's church and encourage them to continue spreading the word. 00:00 Introduction and Appreciation 00:09 The Importance of Sharing the Gospel 01:56 The Role of the Church 02:24 Is Your Church a Sleeping Church? 03:35 The Message of Amos Chapter 6 05:17 Understanding the Meaning of 'Woe' 06:43 The Danger of Complacency 07:45 The Two Positions of God's People: Complacency and Labor 08:22 The Purpose of Salvation 08:46 The Role of the Church in God's Work 09:28 The Call to Action for the Church 10:02 Conclusion and Prayer 10:31 Final Thoughts and Encouragement --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnbc/message

We ask the question today: Is the so-called Church worldwide, asleep? And is it a sign of the last days? We begin our discussion with a quote from 2 Thessalonians 2 Verse 3 which says that the Son of Perdition the Antichrist will not arise until the falling away come first That falling away in the Greek of the New Testament is the Greek word. Apostasia from which we get the English word, apostasy, and this word actually means that in the last days, the church will become apostate. That is, it will fall away from the truth of the Word of God, as well as the standard of the Word of God.Listen for more...Scripture referenced:1 Samuel Chapters 16-322 Thessalonians 2:3Romans 11:8, 11:21-23Matthew 13:15, 25:1-13Isaiah 29:10-111 Thessalonians 4For more Free books, Sunday teachings and bible studies, or is you would like to make a love offering, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.orgDr. Bern Zumpano is a Pastor and Teacher of the Word of God who has authored several books on Spirit-filled living through relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit. Bern has not only been a born-again believer for nearly the past 40 years, but also dedicated 31 years of his life to the study and clinical practice of medicine and surgery in the fields of psychiatry and brain surgery. He has held medical school professorships in psychiatry and neurosurgery and worked in private practice in both areas. Bern has an immense background in understanding the physical body, as well as the soul - the mind, will, and emotions - not only from a medical standpoint but also from a spiritual standpoint. With his background and training, he has been led by the Holy Spirit to teach "the Deep Things of God" (1 Cor. 2:10) with an emphasis on Spiritual Warfare (Jer. 51:20), Breaking Generations' Curses (Ex. 20:5; Lev. 26:40-44), walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit (John 14:12; 1 Cor. 4:20; Luke 17:21) and "the Restoration of All Things" (Acts 3:21). We at Word of Faith Ministries International-Miami hope and pray that these teachings of the Holy Spirit through Bern will edify and regenerate your spirit to gain a deeper understanding of God's Word and His truths so you can have a deeper and more intimate relationship with Him. May God bless you all!!

When we submit ourselves to God we have the authority and power to do this. You are anointed to rule. www.kingdomrock.org

It's time for the church to awaken to righteousness. We live in a pivotal time in our history.  It's clear that God is calling for the true church to arise and shine. Unfortunately, far too many Christians have hit snooze and rolled over. Are you ready to answer the call and #WakeUp?

EPISODE #687 THE SLEEPING CHURCH AND THE ANTICHRIST Richard speaks with two writer/researchers who argue western Christianity has become a "corrupt cult" which has turned a blind eye to malevolent and polarizing forces at work in society today. ​Guest: Donna Howell is the current managing editor and writer/researcher for Defender Publishing and former CEO of Anomalos Publishing. Donna is the best-selling author of "Handmaidens Conspiracy, Radicals, Final Fire, and Redeemed Unreedemable."

You don't have to be afraid. You don't have to be ashamed of fear. Fear has power over you as long as you don't expose it. Don't keep it in the dark. Confess it, and take away the enemy's power over you. Meditate on the word of God. Go forth and do, because the Lord is with you. This message is part 2 of the series Releasing Your Potential.

When we line up with God, we have the ability to resist the enemy. When our homes are in order then the church will be in order. When the church is in order then our communities will be in order. When the community is in order, we can change the world. How do we get our homes in order? By lining up with God. Jesus came to restore the Kingdom of God, mankind's relationship with God, and access to the tree of life. These things had been lost as a result of the Fall. This is part 11 in the Rediscovering the Kingdom series. It is subtitled, "Anointed To Rule part 2". www.kingdomrock.org
