Podcasts about Sufficiency

Not very long ago, a British scholar named Bebbington worked to give a definition of the history of British Evangelicalism. But there was one phrase in his formulation that was interesting: social reform. So, should “social reform” occupy a spot of primacy in believers' lives? Join Kevin as we dive into the question of whether 21st-century Evangelicals are truly evangelical! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

The New Apostolic Reformation is a dangerous deception masquerading as revival, elevating human leaders and experiences above the authority of Scripture and leading many astray from true biblical faith.   Want to Understand and Explain Everything Biblically?  Click Here: Decoding the Power of Three: Understand and Explain Everything or go to www.rightonu.com and click learn more.  Thank you for Listening to Right on Radio.

Knowing God by Name – Women’s Fall Focus Thursdays The post Names of Sufficiency – Margie Stewart appeared first on Calvary Vista.

In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that might sting a little—but will ultimately set you free: the inner emotional state that determines whether your business feels magnetic or repelling.I recorded this episode straight from my heart—no script, no outline, just revelation. It came to me while I was at the gym, reflecting on how our internal sense of sufficiency (or insufficiency) shapes everything in our coaching businesses—from how we show up online to how clients respond to our offers.Here's what we dive into:The true definition of sufficiency — and how it quietly drives your business results.Mirror neurons and emotional resonance: why clients can feel your inner state (even when you think you're hiding it).The wallpaper effect: how flashy marketing, credentials, or hustle can cover up internal holes—but never fill them.The real danger of “needing” your clients: how unconscious insufficiency leads to grasping energy that repels people.The Safety Formula™ connection: why sufficiency is one of the hardest but most essential components of creating safety—for you and for your clients.The good news: you don't have to be “healed” or “whole” to build a successful coaching business—you just need awareness of where your holes are and how to fill them outside your clients.This episode is an invitation—not to fix yourself, but to finally see yourself. To stop wallpapering over the holes. To understand that your business success won't fill them… but your awareness will.Because once you stop needing your clients to fill your holes, everything changes—your energy, your marketing, your sales, your impact.

Message from Troy Martin on November 7, 2025

There are many ditches and potholes to be avoided on life's path, and we are all prone to one or the other. Some live recklessly and die young, while others beat themselves up over things that are not even sin. There are also those who are experts at pointing out wrongs in others but never examine themselves. Solomon points out that the cause of all this is our sinful hearts: “See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.” Biblical wisdom wants us to avoid these pitfalls and live a life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This life of true wisdom only comes from a relationship with Jesus. For in Christ “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”Take-Home Message: God alone knows the path of wisdom.The Foolishness of Being Overly Righteous (15-18)A Misunderstanding of the Sufficiency of the GospelThe Foolishness of Being Overly Reckless (15-18)A Misunderstanding of the Seriousness of the GospelThe Foolishness of Being Self-Righteous (19-22)A Misunderstanding of My Need of the GospelThe Problem of Sin (23-29)

Greater Things, Greater Sufficiency: Matt Metzger | November 2nd, 2025

Message from Mark Appleton on November 2, 2025

In this sermon, we see the wonderful sufficiency and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul calls on us to avoid false doctrine and false religion and to instead cling to the grace of God given to us through Christ!

November 2, 2025We centered on God's incomparable nature, redemption through Christ's blood, and the believer's complete sufficiency in Him. Through worship, teaching, and fellowship, the group reflected on how divine love frees believers from comparison, fear, and division—revealing one body united under one Head, Christ.ThemesWorship and Thanksgiving — The meeting opened with songs of gratitude, lifting praise to the Lord for His resurrection and daily mercy.The Reality of Redemption — Judy shared that redemption means being purchased out of sin's marketplace, never to return. Christ paid the full price with His blood, setting believers permanently free.Adopted and Chosen — Discussion of Ephesians 1 emphasized being chosen before the foundation of the world—holy and blameless in His sight. Adoption into sonship was described as God's pleasure and will, rooted in grace and not human striving.The Mystery Revealed — God's plan was portrayed as a mystery now made known in Christ: believers are united in Him, destined for the praise of His glory.Christ's Sufficiency — Edward shared that Christ Himself is each believer's personal and total sufficiency. His love removes comparison, blame, and self-effort, inviting rest and dependence.One Body, One Church — The group discussed the Corinthian letters, noting how Paul addressed division and “party spirits.” They emphasized that the Church is one body under one Head—Christ—and not divided by denomination or comparison.Love That Waits — God's love was described as patient and non-forcing, waiting to be gracious. Like the father of the prodigal son, He anticipates our return without condemnation.Spiritual Growth and Dependence — Paul's example showed that even correction flows from love, not anger. Growth happens through resting in Christ's finished work, not through striving or self-righteousness.The Mind of Christ — The session closed with reflection on resting in one's position in Christ rather than striving to “become” spiritual. True balance comes from depending on God's love, which removes competition and judgment within the Body.What We LearnedWe have been bought out of sin's power and belong fully to Christ.Our identity as holy and blameless exists in His sight, not by self-effort.Christ's sufficiency ends all comparison, pride, and performance.The Church is one body; division and party zeal oppose love's unity.God's love corrects gently, without violating free will or removing His gaze.True growth happens by resting, receiving, and reflecting His love toward others.Even when others misunderstand or reject us, love remains the answer.Dependence on Christ protects the believer from reacting in the flesh.Reflection QuestionWhere do we still rely on our own sufficiency, and how can we let Christ's love become the only measure of our identity and unity?

Jesus Followers Need to Acknowledge the Sufficiency of Jesus, Through Praise, Irrespective of Our Trials and Problems MESSAGE SUMMARY: Some of us and some of our acquaintances have gone through horrendous circumstances. Therefore, we ask, given these circumstances, how can we rejoice in the Lord? Paul tells us, in 2 Corinthians 12:10, that Jesus Followers need to acknowledge the sufficiency of Jesus, through praise and thanksgiving, irrespective of our trials and problems: “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". To fulfill God's exhortation “to rejoice always”, you can rejoice “always” if you keep your eyes on Jesus. David tells us, in Psalm 30:4, to: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”. Paul instructs us for continuous thanksgiving in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Procrastination. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

How divine love, surrender, and grace free us from striving and lead us to true rest.We gathered in gratitude and worship, reflecting on the beauty of God's love revealed through Christ's sufficiency. The discussion centered on the invitation to come to Jesus for rest, freedom, and transformation. Through Scripture, we explored how believers find completeness not in self-effort, but in Christ's finished work on the cross. The message emphasized salvation by grace, continual spiritual growth through faith, and the call to surrender our will to God's love. We were reminded that His love is unconditional, His Word eternal, and His yoke light—an invitation to experience intimacy and freedom in relationship with Him.Themes:True sufficiency is found in Christ alone, not in self (2 Corinthians 3:5; Philippians 4:19)“Come unto Me” is a continual call to rest in Christ's love and finished work (Matthew 11:28–30)God's love draws through conviction, not condemnation (John 6:44; John 16:8)Grace empowers holiness—never permission to sin (Romans 6:1–2)The Holy Spirit reveals truth and sustains growth (John 1:1–18; Romans 8:9)Believers must look away from distractions and fix their eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2)The resurrection secures hope: all things work together for good (Romans 8:28)Salvation invites continual surrender and renewal (Philippians 2:12–13)God's love is unchanging, personal, and proven through the cross (Romans 5:8)His eternal Word anchors the believer's confidence and peace (Isaiah 40:8; John 17:17)Scripture References: Matthew 11:28–30; John 1:1–18; John 6:44; John 16:8; Romans 6:1–2; Romans 8:9, 8:28; Philippians 2:12–13; Philippians 4:19; 2 Corinthians 3:5; Hebrews 12:2; Isaiah 40:8; John 17:17Reflection Question: Am I resting in the finished work of Christ and His love, or still striving to find sufficiency in my own strength?

When severe drought strikes a part of our country, the President has to declare a state of emergency and send aid to help the people survive. When the Israelites wandered the barren desert wilderness for 40 years, they had to learn to rely on God's power and provision for their survival. The Lord went to great lengths to teach His people that He is sufficient to meet all of their needs and believers today must learn this lesson as well.

Two members of the church fill in for the pastor, speaking on the Holy Spirit from John 14-17 and on the Sufficiency of Scripture.

Never trade Christ's sufficiency for a deceiver's incomplete sufficiency.

The post Lesson 4: The Holy Bible, Perspicuity and Sufficiency appeared first on Calvary Community Church.

How surrender and divine intimacy bring freedom and spiritual completeness.Summary: We reflected on God's perfect sufficiency in Christ, the source of true rest, love, and salvation. Through Scripture, we explored how believers are called to lay down self-sufficiency and receive God's love through the Spirit's drawing. The message emphasized that salvation is not earned but received by grace, and that growth comes from continually coming to Christ. We discussed the contrast between Adam's fall and Christ's redemptive authority, the permanence of God's Word, and the call to surrender fully to divine love. The meeting concluded with a heartfelt invitation to accept God's yoke—resting in His freedom, truth, and unchanging presence.Themes:Sufficiency is found only in Christ, not in self (2 Corinthians 3:5; Philippians 4:19)God's love draws through conviction and grace, not fear (John 6:44; Romans 8:9)Christ's sacrifice covers past, present, and future sin (John 1:1–18; Romans 8:28)True freedom comes from surrendering to God's love and order (Matthew 11:28–30)Divine love is unconditional, limitless, and transformative (John 3:16; Romans 5:8)Salvation and growth are ongoing responses to God's invitation (Philippians 2:12–13)The believer's identity rests in Christ's finished work, not in external authority (Ephesians 1:3–7)God's Word is permanent and unchanging—proof of His love (Isaiah 40:8; John 17:17)Spiritual rest is found in yielding to God's will and walking in His Spirit (Hebrews 4:9–10; Galatians 5:25)God's love invites intimacy, not performance—relationship over religion (1 John 4:18–19)Scripture References: Matthew 11:28–30; John 1:1–18; John 6:44; Romans 8:9, 8:28; Philippians 4:19; 2 Corinthians 3:5; Ephesians 1:3–7; Philippians 2:12–13; Isaiah 40:8; Hebrews 4:9–10; 1 John 4:18–19Reflection Question: Am I resting in Christ's sufficiency and love—or still striving to earn what God has already freely given through His Son?

A CMO Confidential Interview with Dwight Hutchins, Senior Managing Director of Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and a Northwestern Adjunct Professor, previously Managing Director at Accenture focused on Consumer Products, Health Care and Public Service. Dwight shares his thinking on why marketers should be prepared to reduce expenses and shift resources into a re-imagined future versus incrementally evolving spend and structure. Key topics include: his belief that the complexity of marketing has resulted in many instances of wasted spending; the importance of "unaided first brand response;" why it's important to be "ahead of the expense reduction game;" and how to focus on working versus non-working dollars. Tune in to hear how about reducing $1B in spend to fund new initiatives and a "wild west" story about a battery on-pack promotion.The Fine Art of Reducing Marketing Expense in an AI WorldThis week on CMO Confidential, Mike Linton sits down with Dwight Hutchins—Senior Partner & Managing Director at Boston Consulting Group and adjunct professor at Northwestern—to tackle the question every CMO hears from the CFO: “Keep the top line growing… and cut your budget.”Dwight explains how to find waste without hurting performance, where AI actually improves efficiency (and where it doesn't), how to test into cuts with confidence, and why many brands still miss “sufficiency” by spreading spend like peanut butter. We dig into frequency capping, working vs. non-working ratios, zero-based budgeting (used sanely), org design, insource vs. outsource, and a real-world case where a company freed up billions and redeployed it to growth channels.
