Podcasts about spiritual blessings

In Ephesians 1:3–14, Paul reminds us of all that is already ours when we belong to Christ. We have been chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and sealed by the Holy Spirit—all according to the riches of God's grace and to the praise of His glory. In this episode, we'll consider what it means to be blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ and how remembering these truths can help us when our circumstances are difficult, our plans don't go as we hoped, or we're tempted to focus on what we don't have. Whatever today holds, if you belong to Christ, you are richly blessed in Him.

How does one come to enjoy spiritual blessings? What are the spiritual blessings in Ephesians 1? In this sermon on Ephesians 1:3 titled “All Spiritual Blessings…,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones focuses on two themes. He insists that the Christian only enjoys blessings through Christ. While acknowledging God gives common grace to everyone, the Holy Spirit gives unique grace that only Christians enjoy. Dr. Lloyd-Jones connects Paul's words in Ephesians to his other letter to the Colossians (1:19; 2:3), showing the absolute necessity of going to God through Christ, the mediator. A second blessing Christians enjoy through Christ is that His grace flows through the Holy Spirit. The sovereign work of the Spirit quickens, convicts, enables, and keeps the Christian. Dr. Lloyd-Jones recaptures the “other-worldly” nature of the Christian's blessings by criticizing movements that insist that blessings are of this world. The Christian, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, does not deny or despise the world, but this is different from setting their affections upon it. If they do not keep an appropriate distance, they forget that this is a fallen world and that their citizenship is in heaven.

This week, Pastor Scott Hand preaches from the book of Colossians. The message is based in Ephesians 1:1-3 and is entitled "Introduction to Ephesians (Every Spiritual Blessing)." The main idea of the sermon is: The Apostle Paul writes to the Ephesian church to unfold the blessings of God so that believers will worship God and be strengthened to walk worthy of their calling in Christ.———————— Connect with Us: Website: parkwoodonline.org Facebook: facebook.com/parkwoodonline Instagram: instagram.com/parkwoodonline.org Check out more resources and sermons online at: parkwoodonline.org

Join as Pastor Jeremiah challenges us from Ephesians 1 on Spiritual Blessings. 

Sabbath rest is a gift that's talked about all over Scripture. Yet, we often interpret what God intended to be a blessing as a burden instead. Let's be honest: the idea of setting aside work to embrace a day of rest might feel unnecessary, intimidating, unattainable, legalistic, or just plain boring.Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi unpack the biblical heartbeat of the Sabbath — a day to slow down, trust God with your responsibilities, and delight in Jesus. They'll help you overcome resistances to God's gift of rest and equip you with simple, doable rhythms to help you experience the deep soul rest you long for through practicing Sabbath and spiritual retreats.Resources for this Episode:Your Best Life in Jesus' Easy Yoke: Rhythms of Grace to De-Stress and Live EmpoweredAttend a Soul Shepherding RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Welcome to this week's episode of the Carpe Fide podcast. We usually sit down to record together, but due to some unexpected audio issues, we are sharing a powerful recent sermon from Justin instead. In this message, titled "Every Spiritual Blessing: Unending Grace," Justin dives into Ephesians 1:7c–8a to explore the incomprehensible nature of God's unmerited favor. While human beings naturally define grace as giving from our limited, finite possessions—much like John D. Rockefeller handing out mere dimes from his vast wealth—God operates on a completely different scale. He gives strictly according to His limitless riches, pouring out an influx of grace so massive that it totally destabilizes humanity's finite concepts of economy, just as Mansa Musa's wealth disrupted the gold standard. We invite you to listen, allow God's kindness to lead you to repentance, and rejoice in the inexhaustible vault of unending grace provided by our loving Father.

Feeling lost or unworthy? This episode unpacks how being 'in Christ' means you are seen by the Father the same way He sees Jesus—perfect, loved, and accepted. Learn empowering scriptures that resonate with your identity.

What is the result of salvation? The salvation which is in Jesus Christ is a full and abundant salvation, and there is literally no end to the blessings which it offers to us. It is a place of fulness of blessing, of all-sufficiency, of final satisfaction.

All blessings such as: Salvation, Redemption, Eternal Life, Forgiveness of Sins, etc are found in christ.Are you in christ?#gospel #bibleverse #biblestudyonline #jesuschrist #christianity #bibleverseoftheday #dailydevotional #TheGospelOfChrist #ChurchOfChrist #church #churchonline #ChristianShorts #DailyBibleInspirations #dailybibleverse

Welcome back to the Carpe Fide podcast! For this episode, we are taking a brief break from our usual programming to share a special sermon recently preached at Missio Dei Church. In this message, we dive deep into Ephesians 1:7 to explore the incredible spiritual gift of redemption. The sermon examines the believer's profound transition from the infinite past of being chosen by God into the immediate present reality of living fully "in Him". You will hear an exposition on what it truly means to be ransomed from a state of total slavery to sin and brought into total freedom—purchased not with perishable things like silver or gold, but through the precious, shed blood of Christ. We also explore the breathtaking biblical reality of complete forgiveness, looking at how God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west, wiped them out like a thick fog, and cast them into the unreachable depths of the ocean where they are remembered no more. Finally, this message challenges us to leave behind any lingering guilt or shame, encouraging us to approach God's throne boldly as His children and to live out our days as "happy, glad warriors for righteousness". Tune in to be reminded of the eternal freedom, transformed identity, and joyful purpose we have been given in Jesus!

Ephesians 1:3-14 is a powerful song of praise and adoration to the Triune God. Paul's single paragraph of praise to the Father for the blessings so richly lavished on us in the Son and through the Spirit gives us every reason to sing, to praise, to worship, and to live for our God. Purposed before time by the Father, secured in real time by the Son, and sealed for all time by the Spirit, the saving purpose of the Triune God cannot and will not be hindered. This gospel of God is unstoppable. Listen to this second Sunday in our five part series, God's Unhindered Word: Fifty Years and Counting. Danny Brooks was Heritage's preaching pastor from 1998–2016 and is now the pastor for preaching at Gospel Hope Church in Riverton, Utah.

Transformative Truth: Colossians 3:1-2 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

What does it actually mean to have “every spiritual blessing” in Christ?In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we look closely at Ephesians 1:3 and unpack what Paul means when he says God “has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”This message challenges a common assumption: that blessing is mainly about health, comfort, or success. Paul points us somewhere deeper. The greatest blessings aren't physical. They're spiritual. They're rooted in who we are in Christ.In this sermon we explore:Why God's blessing comes before our praiseThe difference between physical and spiritual blessingWhat it means to be “in Christ”The role of the Holy Spirit in our livesWhy no curse, accusation, or past failure defines youHow Romans 8 anchors our identity in the love of GodIf you've ever felt defined by your past, weighed down by shame, or afraid of what's been spoken over your life, this message is for you.If you are in Christ, you are not cursed.You are not abandoned.You are not defined by what's been done to you.You are blessed. And nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

In this sermon, Justin dives into the deep theological waters of Ephesians 1:5-6 to explore the tension of divine election and the overwhelming reality of God's grace. Have you ever found yourself wanting to "pause" the Bible's song of praise to lodge a formal complaint with the Creator about fairness?. We tackle the struggle of our finite minds trying to grasp infinite truths, shifting the cultural question of "How dare God choose?" to the truly shocking biblical question: "How dare God save?". Discover why God's plan of salvation and adoption existed before the foundation of the world, why He took "good pleasure" in redeeming us while we were still His enemies, and how Jesus, the Beloved, makes us recipients of "grace upon grace". It's time to stop arguing with the Manager, unpause the music, and sing along with the doxology of His glorious grace!.

Understanding Ephesians: A Journey Through Identity and Faith In this episode, we transition from discussing new beginnings to embarking on a six-week series on the Book of Ephesians. We'll delve into each chapter week by week, exploring the historical context of Ephesus, a powerhouse of trade, intellectual ideas, and religious practices under the Roman Empire. Ephesians, written by the Apostle Paul, is analyzed to reveal its timeless relevance, examining how ancient challenges of identity, fear, and societal fragmentation mirror our current struggles.

We have another sermon for you this week! Why settle for the "crumbs" of religious entertainment when the Master has invited us to the actual meal? In this exposition of Ephesians 1:4, we confront the weight and glory of the doctrine of Election. Before the stars existed or the foundations of the world were laid, God chose a people—not based on merit or data, but in the sufficient counsel of His own will,. This episode challenges us to stop building "finite mud kingdoms" and go to war against the distractions that compete for our worship, inviting us to find the ultimate joy of standing holy and blameless before our Father.

In our last teaching from Ephesians 1, we saw how Christians are chosen, adopted, redeemed, enlightened, designated, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. These are unchangeable blessings that define our identity in Christ. Here we look at Paul's gratitude for the Ephesians' faith and love, which are expressed in action, not just belief or feeling. Paul's prayer urges us to embody these truths as the united body of Christ.
