Podcasts about Take Courage

As we continue our series on Courage, Pastor Terrance charges us the same way Paul charged Timothy in 2 Timothy 4 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;" and tells us why it is urgent to preach the word whatever context God has placed us in

Courage from God is indispensable to our following Jesus and fulfilling His plans andpurposes for our lives.

God calls you to be strong and take courage. I. TRUST IN THE LORD'S CARE II. TAKE COURAGE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

An Interruption is always welcome at Love Quest International Church. This week, We pause on our Take Courage series to dig deeper into one of the most commonly prayed to yet misunderstood names of God, Jehovah Jireh. Looking at the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac, Pastor Terrance shows us God's provision is not about earthly things but the Lamb who was provided.

Haggai 2:1-9 // Nikki DiekerHave you ever looked at what you are building or working on and felt like it completely pales in comparison to the past? In this study of Haggai 2:1-9, we look at a community of people who were discouraged because their new temple looked like nothing compared to the glory of Solomon's original temple. God meets them in their disappointment with a powerful command: be strong and work, because my spirit remains with you. This sermon explores how God promises to shake the heavens and the earth, bring the wealth of nations into his house, and make the future glory of his people far greater than anything they had seen before. If you feel discouraged by small beginnings or weak results, this message will give you the strength to keep going.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49655234 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.08.30

This week, Pastor Terrance challenges us to allow the Lord to challenge even the conclusions we've made based on truth. Sometimes even when God touches us, we need Him to touch us again so not only do we see but perceive correctly

Friar Nader Ata's homily for the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.What does the 9-9-9 Challenge have to do with walking on water? Absolutely nothing—and Fr. Nader admits it was simply a way to get our attention!Reflecting on Jesus walking on the water and calming the disciples' fears, Fr. Nader reminds us that life will inevitably bring its own storms: struggles with family, health, work, addiction, grief, and uncertainty. The good news is not necessarily that Jesus will make every storm disappear, but that when we recognize Christ's presence with us, the storm loses its power to terrify us.We are sustained by the bread blessed by Jesus, and we can take courage in his words: “It is I. Do not be afraid.”Support Assumption by visiting assumptionsyr.orgListen to Assumption Today, our daily podcast: anchor.fm/assumptiontoday or subscribe wherever you get podcasts.

As our journey through the book of Daniel comes to an end, we turn our attention to the remarkable prophetic visions found in Daniel chapters 7–12. In this tenth and final episode of Take Courage: A Study of the Life of Daniel, Malachi Herbster walks through these powerful passages, highlighting God's revelation concerning the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms, the coming of the Messiah, the Great Tribulation, the resurrection, and the establishment of Christ's everlasting kingdom.Though many of Daniel's prophecies point to events still awaiting fulfillment, their purpose is not to produce fear or speculation, but faith and steadfastness. Daniel reminds us that history is unfolding exactly according to God's sovereign plan and that His promises will never fail. No matter how uncertain the future may seem, believers can live with confidence, knowing that the Ancient of Days is still on the throne and that His kingdom will ultimately prevail.Join us for the conclusion of Take Courage as we reflect on one of the Bible's most fascinating prophetic passages and discover how a clear view of God's plan for the future gives us courage to faithfully serve Him today.

Thanks for watching our sermon. If you'd like to learn more about Celebration Church you can go to our website. www.thecelebration.church   This weeks verses are Acts 23:1-11

One sentence about the resurrection turns Israel's high court into a shouting match, and by nightfall Paul is alone in a cell with forty men swearing to kill him. Just when things seem darkest, the Lord Jesus shows up. He doesn't spring Paul from custody nor does he remove the danger. Instead, He gives him His presence and tells Paul to take courage, because he is going to Rome. That same Christ still comes to us where we are weakest, in the preaching of His Word and in His own body and blood at the altar, saying "take courage" to everyone who thinks tomorrow might undo them.  The Rev. Kelly Krieg, pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 22:30-23:35.  To learn more about Bethlehem in Brenham, visit bethlehemwmpenn.org. The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

What does faithfulness look like when obedience comes with a cost?In this episode of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster begins a two-part study of Daniel 6, one of the Bible's most familiar accounts: Daniel in the lions' den. But before Daniel ever faces the lions, he is found faithfully communing with God in prayer, even when doing so means certain persecution.Join us as we discover how a steadfast walk with the Lord is forged long before the trial arrives. Learn why communion with God is the source of courage in the face of opposition, and how Daniel's unwavering devotion challenges believers to remain faithful regardless of the cost.The conclusion of Daniel 6—and the miraculous deliverance from the lions' den—will be covered in next week's episode.

What happens when pride ignores every warning from God?In this episode of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster examines the dramatic events of Daniel 5 as Belshazzar's great feast is interrupted by a mysterious hand writing a message on the palace wall. While a king celebrates his power, God declares that his kingdom has been weighed, measured, and found wanting.Discover timeless lessons about pride, accountability, and God's sovereign rule over the kingdoms of men. Daniel's unwavering courage in the face of a collapsing empire reminds believers today to stand faithfully for truth, knowing that God is still the One who raises up kings and brings them down.Whether you're studying the book of Daniel or looking for biblical encouragement to stand firm in a culture that rejects God, this episode will challenge you to live with humility and courage before the Lord.

Remember God loves you so much he sent his Son Jesus Christ to take the punishment for your sins. You are of great value. Jesus loves you and He is just a prayer away! 

Culture has always demanded conformity. From the plains of Babylon to the pressures believers face today, God's people are continually confronted with the choice of following the crowd or remaining faithful to Him.Daniel 3 records one of the most memorable accounts in all of Scripture. When King Nebuchadnezzar commanded every nation and people to bow before his golden image, three young Hebrew men stood alone. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to compromise their worship, even when obedience to God meant facing the fiery furnace. Their confidence rested not in the certainty of deliverance, but in the certainty that God alone was worthy of their worship.In Episode 5 of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster examines the courageous stand of these faithful servants and the timeless principles their example teaches every generation of believers. You'll discover what it means to develop biblical convictions, why compromise is never worth the cost, how faith is refined through testing, and how God glorifies Himself through those who choose obedience over acceptance.Whether God delivers us from the fire or walks with us through it, He remains worthy of our trust. This episode is a call to stand firm, remain faithful, and declare with unwavering conviction: "We will not bow."

Acts 4: 1 - 31 Take Courage and Keep TalkingUddingston Park United Free Church.Rev Ian McQuarrie

Theme: Our Savior's Powerful Presence Comforts the Twelve as He Walks Upon the Sea, Bringing Terror and Tranquility. 1: Absence From Christ Before the Storm 2: Arrival of Christ in the Storm 3: Assistance of Christ in the Storm

A sermon from Psalm 31

The kingdoms of this world rise and fall, but one King reigns forever.In this episode of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster explores Daniel 2:31–49 and Nebuchadnezzar's remarkable dream of a great image representing successive world empires. As Daniel unfolds God's prophetic revelation, we see the sovereignty of God over human history and the certainty that every earthly kingdom will eventually give way to an everlasting kingdom.Discover how this ancient prophecy points to the Messiah, the Stone cut without hands, whose kingdom will never be destroyed. In a world captivated by political power and cultural influence, Daniel reminds us that God rules over all kings and kingdoms and that Jesus Christ alone is the rightful King of all.Join us as we find courage in the unshakable truth that history is not out of control—it is moving toward the glorious reign of the Lord of all kings.

Spiritual growth often comes with pain—which is why many of us instinctively avoid it. Yet James gives a surprising command: consider trials “pure joy” because God uses them to test faith, produce perseverance, and form maturity that lacks nothing (James 1:2–4). In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that biblical joy is different from worldly happiness: it can exist inside suffering, not just after it. You'll also hear how the apostle Paul learned the secret of joy under pressure. Paul endured criticism, imprisonment, and life-threatening danger—but he kept his eyes fixed on Christ rather than his circumstances. When Paul's situation in Jerusalem became so volatile the Romans had to shelter him in the barracks, the Lord personally strengthened him with a direct word: “Take courage!” (Acts 23:11). Dr. Youssef reminds you that God's encouragement to Paul is meant for believers today as well—especially when you're tempted to assume God is silent or has forgotten you. Even when you can't see what God is doing, He is still working—masterfully weaving His purposes through every valley and victory. As you trust His sovereign hand, Christ-centered focus will produce the same fruit in you that it produced in Paul: contentment in every season, courage for every assignment, and joy that remains steady even when life is hard. Prayer: Lord, may I find comfort in You and Your sovereignty as You place me in situations that test and grow my faith. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:12-13). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon Looking Up When Life's Got You Down, The Hand of Providence: LISTEN NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

How do we remain faithful when prayer feels repetitive, life feels exhausting, or suffering lingers longer than we expected? Fr. Gregory and Rebecca explore how steadfast conversation with God gives us the courage to persevere in the spiritual life. Today, we read Part 2: Thirteenth Letter, Fourteenth Letter, Fifteenth Letter, and Sixteenth Letter. To get your copy of the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/catholicclassics

Paul carried two callings. He felt called to preach the gospel in Rome, but he also sensed the Spirit calling him back to Jerusalem, where he would face suffering. Imprisoned by the Romans, it must have felt like Rome was further and further away. But Jesus appeared to Paul to give him courage and remind him that even in loss and injustice, God was still fulfilling his call. 

What do you do when faced with a problem that is bigger than your ability to solve? In this episode of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster walks through Daniel 2:1-30 and the crisis surrounding King Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dream. As Daniel and his friends faced an impossible situation, they didn't rely on their own wisdom or panic in fear—they took time to seek God.Discover how godly wisdom begins with dependence on the Lord, why prayer must precede action, and how God delights in revealing Himself to those who trust Him. The episode culminates in Daniel's heartfelt praise as God answers prayer and provides the wisdom needed for the moment.Join us as we learn that true courage in a hostile culture comes not from human ingenuity, but from seeking the God who gives wisdom from above.

In this episode of Take Courage, Malachi Herbster explores Daniel 1:5–21 and the courageous stand of a young man determined to honor God in a foreign culture. Faced with pressure to conform to Babylon's values, Daniel purposed in his heart to remain faithful to the Lord. This passage reminds believers that courage begins with conviction and that God blesses those who choose obedience over compromise. Join us as we examine how Daniel's example challenges us to commit to courage in a culture that often pulls us in the opposite direction.

What does it mean to truly be a witness for Christ? In this message from Acts 25–26, Rev. Nathan Akin explores Paul's bold testimony before rulers and authorities, reminding us that witnessing is not just something we do — it's part of who we are as followers of Jesus. Because of God's promises and the […]
