Podcasts about Spirit of God

The 10 Commandments Hyperlink Episode (E15) — Sometimes at the close of a series, we'll dig through the podcast archives to find clips that discuss similar ideas from a different perspective. In this 10 Commandments series, we explored how trusting in God's wisdom leads to true life and flourishing, while building lives on our own terms often leads to pain. So in this hyperlink episode, we'll listen to three clips that explore this theme further. First, Jon and Tim break down the literary structure of the stories surrounding the 10 Commandments, which highlight humanity's reluctance to wait on God's commands. Second, Jon, Tim, and former BibleProject scholar Carissa Quinn look at how the golden calf story in Exodus 32 relates to the 10 Commandments. And finally, Jon, Tim, and Carissa discuss how all of the Bible's poems, narratives, laws, and letters are wisdom for us.

The 10 Commandments E14 — We've come to the end of our series on the 10 Commandments, which are known in the Bible as the 10 Words. All throughout this series, we've returned to the idea that these commands are not rules to check off a list, but rather God's wisdom that leads to true life and flourishing. In this episode, Jon and Tim reflect on some final insights about how to approach the 10 Words (and all of biblical law) as wisdom literature, just as Jesus did.

The 10 Commandments E13 — We've arrived at the 10th and final commandment, which feels very different from all the ones that came before it: “Do not desire … anything that belongs to your neighbor.” While most translations use the word “covet,” we simply find khamad, which is the general Hebrew word for desire. All the other commandments involve observable actions, but desire is entirely internal. So why does God warn us about desiring things that belong to our neighbor? In this episode, Jon and Tim finish the 10 Commandments by showing how this command works as an undercurrent beneath all the others.

The 10 Commandments E11 — The 8th Commandment, “Do not steal,” seems straightforward enough. But why does God forbid theft in ancient Israel? What harm can come to a community where people's property is always vulnerable? And what lies beneath the surface of our desire to take from our neighbor what doesn't belong to us? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the eighth command, discovering its deeper invitations to contentment, generosity, and stewardship.

How much time do you and I waste being powerless because of our lack of understanding of the Spirit. Or we just want to do our own thing in our strength. If we would allow as Christians the Spirit of God to do what He is capable of doing in our lives God would do things in and through us that would be unexplainable. That is what I want...

أما تعلمون أنكم هيكل الله، وروح الله يسكن فيكم؟ - ١ كو ٣ : ١٦

omans 8New King James VersionFree from Indwelling SinThere is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.Sonship Through the Spirit

Shavuot is also called the Feast of Weeks and Pentecost. According to Jewish tradition, God gave the law on Shavuot. Thus, Shavuot celebrates the giving of the law and the revelation on Mount Sinai. According to Acts 2:1-4 it was on Shavuot that the Spirit of God was poured out on the believers and the "church" ("called out ones") was created.The primary passage in the Hebrew Scriptures that addresses Shavuot is Leviticus 23:15-22. In verse 15, the Jewish people are told to "count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering." The question is, "what is meant by the term Sabbath in this passage?"Since it was on Shavuot that the believers were placed into the "body of Messiah," also known as the "church," or "ekkleisia" (meaning, "called out ones") by means of the baptizing work of the Holy Spirit, then what Luke is describing are the events that led to the birthday of the "church."The promise of the Spirit then is, among other things, the promise that by means of the Spirit of God, one can be placed in the "Body of Messiah." This means that believers in Messiah and what He has done for them, are connected to Him as well as one another. We are "in" Messiah and thereby members of the church, the "called out ones."YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/l5YJF2xSkK4Send us Fan Mail

The 10 Commandments E10 — The short commandment, “Do not commit adultery,” assumes that every marriage is vitally important and just as worth protecting as a human life. But why is a marriage covenant so important in the Bible? The biblical authors consider marriage to be a great mystery that points to something cosmic: God's faithful commitment to humanity. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the meaning of marriage in the Bible, and how its deeper values are relevant to both married and unmarried people.

The Spirit of God | Pastor Charles

By Brian Shaw - Christian conversion has only two convicting agents: the Spirit of God and the Word of God. On the Feast of Pentecost, it is especially important that God's people review how our conviction is sustained. Part 2 discusses the influence of God's Word.

The Spirit of God | Pastor Folarin Akinsola | May 24, 2026 by Christ Chapel

Pastor Davis' sermon on 1 Samuel 16 centered on the main point that “the People of God receive the Spirit of God to proclaim the Word of God.” Through the contrast between Saul and David, today's message emphasizes that God does not judge by outward appearance, accomplishments, or status, but looks at the heart. David was chosen not because of visible qualifications, but because he trusted the Lord above visible circumstances and walked by faith.Pastor Davis explores both who the people of God are and who the Spirit of God is. Believers are those who place their faith in God and receive the promised Holy Spirit through Christ, as highlighted in Galatians 3 and Ephesians 1. Pastor Davis explains that the Holy Spirit is the One who gives both protection and power, securing believers in Christ and equipping them for ministry.Finally, the church is challenged to consider how God has uniquely gifted them and how their natural abilities can become platforms for proclaiming God's Word, serving others, and displaying the gospel in everyday life.

Wednesday – 05/20/2026 – How to Be Led by the Spirit of God

The 10 Commandments E9 — We're now entering the second half of the 10 Commandments, where God guides Israel in how to relate to one another. The 6th Commandment is often translated “Do not murder.” However, the Hebrew word translated as "murder" can also be translated as "kill," which refers to both the premeditated and the unintentional taking of human life. So is this command saying not to kill at all? In this episode, Jon and Tim unpack the sixth command, highlighting the Bible's ideal of valuing and protecting all life, even as things get increasingly complicated outside of Eden.

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #spiritofgod #podcast #divineauthority Jesus says, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Do we truly understand the divine authority of God and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives to help us discern between good and evil?

The 10 Commandments E8 — The first four commandments focus on relating to God, and the last five focus on relating to other humans. Right in the middle, we find the 5th Commandment, which acts like a hinge between these two sections: “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahweh your Elohim gives you.” It's the only commandment that comes with a promise and invokes both humans and God. So what is this special connection between parents and God? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at this unique command, exploring what it meant for ancient Israel and how followers of Jesus can practice it today.

[ 1 John 4: 1-6 ] Part 15 of "1-3 John: Letters of Gospel Assurance"

The Holy Spirit is given to us at baptism to help in this conflict between good and evil.  We can, however, resist or quench the Spirit as He leads us to do what's right and good.  Paul writes of the works of the flesh being in stark contrast to the fruit of the Spirit.  If we allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit, love, joy, peace, et al, will blossom in our lives.Scriptures:  Acts 2:38; 5:32;  Ephesians 6:17;  Romans 8:12-13; 1 Thessalonians 5:19;  Romans 7:25; 8:6-8;  Galatians 5:4-26

The 10 Commandments E7 — In the 4th Commandment, Yahweh tells Israel to remember the Sabbath and do no work, just as Yahweh does after creating the skies and the land. What's going on here? What did this commandment mean to ancient Israel, and what should it mean to Jesus' followers? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the fourth command's connections to the seven-day creation narrative and Israel's liberation from Egyptian slavery, as well as its role in ancient Israel and the modern world.

We briefly explore two questions.  What is the role of the Holy Spirit today?  It may surprise you that the Holy Spirit is not (as so many people mistakenly believe) all about the Holy Spirit!   Then, what is the "gift of the Holy Spirit" of which Peter spoke in Acts 2:38?  If we let the context inform us, the answer may surprise you as well.Scriptures:  John 16:7-15;  Acts 1:4-8;  Acts 2:1-8;  Acts 2:12-18;  Acts 2:22-39

The 10 Commandments E5 — In the ancient world, gods (or elohim in Hebrew) were associated with transcendent forces of nature, and humans created statues (mostly of animals) to represent these forces, known as idols. But in Exodus 20:4-6, Yahweh forbids Israel from making idols of himself or any other spiritual being. Why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the 2nd Commandment to discover how idols diminish the identity of both God and humans.

The 10 Commandments E4 — Before Yahweh gives the 10 Commandments to Israel, he reminds them that he is the God who liberated them from slavery and is entering into a covenant with them. So how does this connect with the first commandment, “You will have no other gods before me”? And what does that even mean? In this episode, Jon and Tim walk through the 1st Commandment, exploring how a command about ultimate allegiance can keep the newly liberated people of Israel (and us) free.

What Is So New about the New Covenant? Indwelling Spirit of God – In and Upon | KIB 525 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing   Description In Episode 525 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and why a right understanding of the New Covenant is essential for the remnant in these last days. This episode examines the difference between the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the promise of the Spirit in Ezekiel 36 and Jeremiah 31, and how God writes His law upon the heart of the believer through a covenant relationship. Dr. Lake also addresses the dangers of counterfeit spirits, misplaced charismatic emphasis, and the spiritual deception that has infiltrated much of the modern Church. Mary Lou opens with powerful insights connected to the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Jericho, Rahab's covenant, and the need for obedience in a prophetic hour. Together, they discuss spiritual discernment, the transformation of character, the fruit of the Spirit, and the necessity of separating from Babylon's system in order to walk in true kingdom power.

The 10 Commandments E3 — What's the purpose of God's commands early in the biblical story? Following the Eden story in Genesis, a pattern develops of God issuing commands that preserve life and release blessing. But the challenge is that often the commands first look like death before they're revealed to be a pathway to life. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore commands given to Noah and Abraham, discovering the good that comes when humans trust and obey God's words.

The 10 Commandments E2 — Why does God give commands and why is it so hard for humans to follow them? Before digging into the 10 Commandments line by line, we'll first trace the theme of God's commands in the Genesis scroll. The first two times God issues commands are on pages one and two of the Bible. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the blessing to “be fruitful and multiply,” as well as the “do not eat from the tree” command in Genesis 1 and 2, highlighting humanity's folly and foundational need for God's guidance.

The 10 Commandments E1 — What comes to mind when you hear “Thou shalt not”? Probably the 10 Commandments! Even if you know very little about the Bible, you're probably familiar with “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not steal,” “Honor your father and mother,” and many others. They're all over movies, literature, and even carved into public buildings. In the Exodus scroll, these are the core commands God gives to Israel on tablets of stone at the foot of Mount Sinai. And there's a lot that sets them apart from the hundreds of other laws God gives to Israel. In this episode, Jon and Tim kick off a new series on the 10 Commandments, exploring what makes them special and how they are quoted throughout the rest of the Bible.

Psalms 1 & 2 E4 — The New Testament authors make both subtle and direct claims to Jesus' divinity, almost exclusively by referencing Israel's Scriptures. In Psalm 2, one of the most quoted passages from the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh responds to the conspiring, violent nations by installing a king (whom he calls his Son) in Israel. Jesus and the apostles frequently use Psalm 2 language to describe Jesus' divine identity and unique relationship to God the Father. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these references in Jesus' baptism, transfiguration, and resurrection, while also considering how the Son of God shares his royal identity with his followers.

Psalms 1 & 2 E3 — So far in this short series, we've looked individually at Psalm 1 and Psalm 2. Now we'll look at them side by side. The art of meditating on Scripture involves appreciating every single paragraph, poem, and story, but then also considering what comes before and after, because the biblical authors put everything in this order for a reason! Looking at Psalms 1 and 2 next to each other we find many overlapping words and ideas, so reading both together is crucial for understanding each one individually. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore all the connections, not only between Psalms 1 and 2, but also between these psalms and many other places in the Hebrew Bible.

Psalms 1 & 2 E2 — Psalm 2 presents a crisis perpetuated by a long line of corrupt empires in the ancient Near East. Every one of these empires makes a practice of conquering, murdering, raping, and pillaging across the known world, while ancient Israel is just one small nation conquered and occupied again and again. So how do Yahweh and his anointed king respond to this injustice? Surprisingly, a lot like how the evil imperial rulers do: with mocking laughter, hot anger, and by smashing them like pottery! But why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Psalm 2 as a minority report from an oppressed, ancient people group and an intentionally provocative portrait of God within the broader context of the Hebrew Bible.  FULL SHOW NOTES For chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.

Psalms 1 & 2 E1 — The Psalms scroll—Israel's ancient hymn book—has deeply shaped the worship and prayers of millions of people over several millennia. The first two psalms work together as a unified introduction to the whole collection. Psalm 1 starts with the phrase “How good is life for the man who…” or in most English translations, “Blessed is the man who…” We then find a list of activities to avoid and an instruction to practice daily Scripture meditation. So how does this way of living lead to “the good life”? And what happens to those who follow it—and to those who don't? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a short series in Psalms 1 and 2 by first meditating on Psalm 1.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, biblical words, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Path of Tragedy (0:00-21:35)Becoming Like a Tree (21:35-40:40)Standing in the Judgment (40:40-1:06:14)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary by Robert AlterCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Growing Season” by Gas Lab & Guillaume Muschalle“New Dae” by El Train & G MillsBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
