Podcasts about stumbling blocks

Sunday, February 5, 2023 - The message today is "Preparing to Run the Race." Whether it's a 100-yard dash or a 26-mile marathon, running a race requires preparation. Being properly prepared is the key to finishing, let alone winning. Similarly, preparing to run the "Christian race" requires adequate preparation. It's safe to say that many people that have given up on the Christian race probably were not prepared at the beginning and were given proper expectations of what to expect along the way. That's what this message is about. Our text is Hebrews 12:1-3. The writer of Hebrews instructs the runners (you and I) to throw off the things that hinder and the Sin that so easily entangles - before - one starts the race. We will discover the differences between the things that "hinder" and the "sin." Hindrances make the race more complex and challenging; Sin is a disqualifier. And there's so much more to discuss regarding hindrances potentially turning into Sin and, just as importantly, becoming "Stumbling Blocks" to those watching our race. There's much to learn here, so you're encouraged to join us in worship and listen to the message. Once again, preparation for the race is the key...

A new MP3 sermon from Salem Bible Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: 96. Knowledgeable Believers and Stumblingblocks Subtitle: I Corinthians Speaker: Jim Delany Broadcaster: Salem Bible Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 11/23/2008 Bible: 1 Corinthians 8:4-7 Length: 46 min.

This wonderful, one minute mitzvah, is incredibly powerful. It asks us to stop and take note of the ways in which we create stumbling blocks and obstacles for others and ourselves unconsciously, all the time. Mitzvahs are not only here to protect and care for others, they are wake up calls. They ask us to become aware, to recognize what's going on, and to take a moment to stop and change our action, thoughts or words. And what a moment it is. Although we may not realize it, these are atomic, powerful, unfailing directions. They guide us through confusion and fog to bring light and clarity into the day. They heal our confusion. Doing this particular mitzvah asks that we become aware of what is a stumbling block and how we actually create them. As we recognize that,  it's easy to stop. And to protect and to heal all lives. 

There is a real threat in allowing our liberty in Christ to cause a weaker brother in the faith the stumble. How do we avoid this and is there such a thing as stumbling so far as to lose one's eternal life? Pastor Jesse continues his series "Growing Pains" with a message on 1 Corinthians 8.

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season celebrating. I hope you gave yourself grace and a lot of mercy and kindness. The holiday season can be stressful and sometimes even sad, but we made it through another year, and it's time to create the best year ever. It's time to make 2023 different in the best way possible. This week we're talking about how sneaky subconscious thoughts can totally derail you from your goals and from living the life you dream about. I share ways to identify and overcome these stumbling blocks and move forward with confidence.  Episode Highlights:  [01:59] We all start the new year with the best intentions. It's time to catch any of those old thought patterns that may be holding us back from our goals and desires. [03:08] I want you to learn how to identify hidden stumbling blocks. [03:37] Our dream life is built upon the goals we set. Achieving your goals is the building block of a dream life. [04:12] This is why I talk about failure being the currency of a life well-lived. The more times you fail the more things you have tried. [05:05] I hit every goal on my board, except the one around money. I became curious about what my brain was thinking about that goal. [06:24] Get curious about what your thoughts are about the goal that you didn't achieve. Journal and write out your thoughts about each goal.  [07:02] Money thoughts from my childhood were holding me back. I had a belief that anything I make is just extra. [10:07] Subconscious thoughts playing in the background, we're dictating everything I did. [11:19] What thoughts do you have about the goals you didn't hit or the one that you're afraid to try? What do you do once you uncover a subconscious thought that is a stumbling block? [11:46] The awareness alone can completely shift your mindset. [13:07] Purposefully think about thoughts that drive determination and commitment. Connect your goals around your personal vision for your life.

Pastor Tyus discusses different type of environments that will determine your values, mindset, an ability to walk with God. “Remove yourself from environments that either hurt or tear you down.” 4:26 - “When you protect your space, you protect your purpose.” 6:05 - Genesis 12:1-2 ESV. Go to where God is calling you. 10:49 - Genesis 12:3-4. God will fight battles on your behalf! He has a safe land prepared for you.

Haters? ⁃ Mark 8:11-12 ⁃ “Keep your focus on pleasing the creator versus the created.” Takeaways “No one can control your thoughts nor the way you think.” “Stop trying to change negative people, change your space!” Don't let lack of faith pollute your production. Find routines that help keep your faith elevated. Don't allow people to corrupt your space. The gift God has blessed you with will suffer People who devalue & drain your faith, will keep you from the promises of God. Questions 1. Are you acting on faith? 2. Are there people you need to remove or get away from to walk righteously with God?

How to keep from tripping up the advancement of the gospel.

It's not whether you fall down, it's about how you get back up. Mistakes have the opportunity to be a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block. Which one will you choose? Recorded: March 20, 2022

We use it in a variety of ways to indicate anything we do or say that in some way hinders or blocks or impedes or "stumbles" the spiritual growth of another.  From The Commands of the Apostles by Michael Phillips. Read by Michael Kimball. More information on this and similar writings may be found at Father of the Inklings.

Lately, I've been receiving so many downloads and noticing that the more I say YES, the more clues I get for what feels alive.  Most recently, I received a lightening-strike-like download that I need to open a retail space. It was a FULL BODY YES and once it came through, I've been on a wild ride ever since.  This episode shares with you the juicy details and disappointing news that lead to a very false start, and how I'm positioning myself through let down (hint: I'm wide open).  I love sharing the journey with you. Because, let's face it, there is no destination. There is just alignment and inspired action...over and over and over again. Also, rest. Lots of rest. __________ You can support the podcast by sharing this episode, leaving a review or heading to my Etsy shop InspirationistArt and grab some art for your home :) Seeing my art in the world is just the best thing ever.

Benson & Sean are back with another book study in Scripture - this time we are diving into several weeks in 2 Corinthians. This letter may be the most underappreciated book in the New Testament, for its depth of theology, personal reflection, leadership, and faith development all wrapped up in it. Join us as we dive into this rich letter together.

I hope you didn't miss the miracle of inspiration in the previous lessons. Look who's listening!

Singer, musician, and writer Michael Card wrote an album reflecting on the life of the apostle Peter, titled A Fragile Stone. His song “Living Stones” says, “We are holy, living stones built upon the firm foundation that is Jesus. And as we cling to that Rock, who became a Stumbling Block, we remember we are living stones.” The song’s metaphor comes from today’s reading, which is in turn based on several Old Testament passages (Ps. 118:22; Isa. 8:14; 28:16). Perhaps Peter was also remembering Jesus’ parable of the houses built on foundations of sand versus rock (Matt. 7:24–27). As “living stones,” we are the building materials, but the cornerstone is Jesus Christ, the “Living Stone” Himself (v. 4). He was “rejected by humans but chosen by God.” We put Him on a cross, but ultimately this was God’s sovereign plan, as Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:22–24). Christ, the cornerstone, is the key to constructing the house (v. 6) and to God’s entire plan of salvation. To those who refuse to believe, Christ is a stumbling block (vv. 7–8). They trip over Him, a choice with serious consequences. Those who reject Christ and disobey the gospel are destined for eternal punishment. By contrast, to God the Father and therefore to believers, Christ is “chosen” and “precious” (vv. 4, 6, 7). “The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame,” meaning that He is worthy of our trust. Our faith in Him is absolutely safe in Him. Our service as a “holy priesthood” is to offer Him “spiritual sacrifices,” namely, ourselves (v. 5; Rom. 12:1–2). As we do so, we’re not only acting (trusting, obeying) but also being acted upon (growing up, being built into a house) by God. >> To dig deeper, we encourage you to read or study other Scripture passages about Christ the cornerstone, including the parable of the tenants (Mark 12:1–12) and Peter’s sermon to the Sanhedrin (Acts 4:1–12).

They are your path to a greater idea of yourself and your ability to grow. AFFIRMATION: I persevere with the strength of the Spirit within me.

This week, Cody and Smith take on a lengthy passage of scripture dealing with how we as Christians should live our lives...are you going to be a stumbling block to your neighbor? Or a stepping stone for their success?

The Cross is a Stumbling Block : 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 09-25-22 by Park Community Church

In this episode, we'll show you how to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones on the road to success.We may stumble when we're trying something new and don't yet know where the tricky parts are. (Fair enough!)  And then there are those things that we seem to stumble over and over again.  You'd think we'd learn how to avoid them! But one of the reasons that we don't is that we focus on the wrong part of the story.Every path to success includes its share of stumbling blocks. Don't forget to pick up your Lab Notebook at http://changeacademypodcast.com/notebook
