JOHN 5:1-18 - TAKE UP YOUR MATT - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 5:1-18 "After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.And that day was the Sabbath. 10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your bed and walk.' ”12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, ‘Take up your bed and walk'?” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

¿Cómo se atrae talento en un sector tan vertiginoso como el tecnológico… sin perder el contacto humano por el camino? En este nuevo episodio de Humanos con Recursos, charlamos con Celia Sanz, responsable de Talent Acquisition en Sopra Steria, una compañía con más de 4.000 personas en España y presencia en casi 30 países.Lo que nos encontramos en esta entrevista no es solo una visión estratégica, sino una forma de entender el trabajo que pone a las personas (de verdad) en el centro. Con una década de experiencia en selección y desarrollo, Celia lo resume con claridad: “Si no te gustan las personas, este trabajo no es para ti”.Celia nos habla de frustraciones, sí, pero también de aprendizajes. De cambios, de gestión, de acompañar a alguien desde su primera entrevista hasta ver cómo crece dentro de la empresa. Y de cómo la clave no es que los nuevos talentos se adapten a la compañía, sino que la compañía sepa adaptarse a ellos.Sopra Steria, reconocida como una de las 100 empresas más atractivas para la generación Z, no lo ha conseguido por azar. Lo ha hecho con programas pensados para formar, motivar y dar espacio al desarrollo real. Programas como Take Up, un onboarding que dura hasta un año, movilidad interna y una fuerte apuesta por una cultura que combina tecnología y humanidad.Los puntos clave de la entrevistaAtracción de talento jovenProgramas adaptados como Take Up, presencia en universidades y foros de empleo, y una apuesta por candidatos con actitud, curiosidad tecnológica y soft skills sólidas.Onboarding prolongado y humanoUn proceso de acogida que se extiende durante 12 meses, con acompañamiento cercano, seguimiento continuo y espacios para conectar con la cultura de empresa.Gestión multigeneracionalFormación a managers en estilos de comunicación, escucha activa y eliminación de prejuicios. Adaptar el liderazgo al equipo, no al revés.Cultura de cambio y tecnologíaSopra Steria impulsa iniciativas como el International Student Challenge para motivar la innovación interna y reforzar el vínculo con la comunidad universitaria.IA sí, pero con criterio humanoLa inteligencia artificial puede apoyar en tareas de selección, pero nunca sustituir la mirada humana en la toma de decisiones. El equilibrio es clave.La conversación con Celia Sanz es una invitación a mirar el talento con otros ojos: los del cuidado, la escucha y la evolución compartida. En un entorno tecnológico donde todo cambia rápido, ella recuerda que lo esencial sigue siendo lo mismo: las personas.No te pierdas el episodio completo en nuestro podcast Humanos con Recursos y descubre cómo Sopra Steria construye equipos donde la tecnología y el corazón van de la mano.¿Te gustaría ser un líder inusual dispuesto a aprender, crecer y cambiar para hacer una diferencia positiva en el mundo? Reserva tu plaza en el MBA INUSUAL, lo que nunca aprenderás en una escuela de negocios.Este programa de transformación y reeducación ejecutiva te llevará más allá de la administración de empresas, para convertirte en un líder innovador, audaz y con visión de futuro, una oportunidad para reinventar el liderazgo y a ti mismo. ¡Te esperamos!

Send us a Text Message about the podcastWhen four friends tear open a roof to lower their paralyzed companion to Jesus, they demonstrate what truly matters in our faith journey – enduring empathy that refuses to give up on people. Pastor Grantley Martelly unpacks this powerful story from Mark 2, revealing how these determined friends teach us about walking alongside others until they can encounter Jesus for themselves.In a world reeling from wars, persecution, natural disasters, and even a "loneliness epidemic," we're called not to retreat into our comfortable spiritual bubbles but to bring the world's pain to the throne of grace. While we can't control global turmoil, we absolutely can control who we bring people to meet. That's the heart of enduring empathy – demonstrating such a deep understanding of God's goodness that we're compelled to lend our faith to others until they develop their own.The paralytic's friends didn't tell him about Jesus – they physically carried him there. Their determination reveals what true discipleship requires: persisting through barriers, causing necessary disruption, and believing that an encounter with Jesus changes everything.Most striking is Jesus' response: "When he saw their faith" – not the paralyzed man's. Sometimes people need to borrow our faith until they find their own. Jesus first addressed the man's spiritual needs before his physical condition, showing that true transformation happens from inside out. Are we willing to walk alongside the messy, the broken, the difficult? Or have we become "too holy to be Christ-like," forgetting that Jesus met us in our own mess? Salvation without discipleship is just cheap grace. The Christian walk was never meant to be solitary but about journeying together through the unexpected. Will you tear up some roofs to bring others to the One who transforms?#empathy     #discipleshipSupport the show#abovethenoise24# faith#reconciliation#race#racialreconciliationWe appreciate your support: Buy Me A CoffeeStay in touch: Email us at: abovethenoise24@gmail.com Facebook: @abovethenoise24 Instagram: abovethenoise24 Podcast art by Mario Christie.

Jesus Says “Self-Denial” Is Required of Jesus Followers: “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions. When we die to our self-ambitious and put them on the cross, Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will entrust to Him my future. I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.  From 2 Timothy 1:12 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 16:24; Mathew 10:38-39; Galatians 6:14-17; Psalms 141:1-10.

Popular religious teaching suggests that believers need to take up their cross daily in order to follow Jesus. While it's true that Jesus taught the importance of denying oneself and taking up their cross (Matthew 16:24-26), He was not speaking of an ongoing act after salvation. He was inviting people to follow Him into His death so that they might be raised to newness of life and be saved (Galatians 2:20; Romans 6:1-12). This is what happens to every believer at salvation.

Take Up Your Mat - Pastor Jonathan Simons

Jesus calls us to a life of service. Transformation happens when we set aside our ego, empty words, and displays of power, and instead embrace humility, living faith, and small acts of love. When we are empowered by His Spirit and step into the greater works He has prepared, transformation spreads everywhere, through our willingness to kneel down and serve others.

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites.

By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.  I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.  For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Resentment. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Compassion. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

I have always thought that everyone has a sport or activity in which they could be world-class, but sometimes we haven't tried it and discovered which one it is. Maybe it's karate or curling or backgammon. Or as I've told kids I've coached in track that to get ahead, rather than run a common event like the 100 meters, try an event that few others do like the pole vault, triple jump, or 300-meter hurdles. Ultramarathoning is obviously a niche sport, as is an Olympic sport I've always liked, fencing. My interest goes back to my days as a sportswriter for the University of Pennsylvania student newspaper. You get assigned to cover so-called minor sports as a freshman, and one team I drew was the Penn fencing team. I learned quickly to admire both the skills and endurance of some of the best fencers in the NCAA. So even after I worked my way up the ladder to reporting on the basketball and football teams, I asked to still cover the fencing team, and even became something of a de facto team manager. Later, when Denver hosted the 1989 World Fencing Championships, I was named press liaison between the organization and journalists who had come from around the globe to cover the event. Today, I do alumni interviews for applicants to Penn, and I had the opportunity to chat with a dynamic local high school senior named Patrick Li, who I found out has fenced since he was in 4th-grade. Patrick has discovered the benefits of pushing himself to excel and realized the benefits of having a supportive community around him. In turn, Patrick has been generously giving back to expose kids and disabled individuals to the sport, so they can enjoy it as much as he has. I'm impressed with how much this young man, who hopes to major in behavioral economics in college, is willing to put in to help others. Along the way in this chat, you'll also learn a bit about this sport they call “physical chess,” and hopefully have some appreciation if you see it on TV during the 2028 Olympics in L.A. Maybe go to a local fencing club and find out for yourself if it could be your own gold medal sport!Patrick Lipli2006118@gmail.com720-220-6495Instagram @patrick__li__Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman Podcast

Luke 11:14-28 — Jesus’ words “Whoever is not with me is against me” should be taken a sober warning and a call to arms for all Christians who endeavor to labor in the cause of Christ. To be lax about the kingdom of God or neutral in the cosmic war between light and darkness is not only fail in your calling as human made in the image of God for his glory, but to find yourself in league with the very forces that oppose him – and thus condemned by the same judgement.
