Podcasts about test of faith

In this stand alone sermon, Pastor Lance Michels preached from Genesis 22:1-14 which is the story of Abraham's faith being tested. From Abraham's story we learned that the testing of our faith is actually a gift of grace. We also learned about two kinds of obedience: first-time obedience and complete obedience.

This episode covers the first half of Chapter 1. It will be the only chapter covered in two parts. "And there was a man in in the Land of Uz" begins the one of the oldest and most universal books of the Hebrew Bible.   And Job (Īyyōv) was his name. There is no mention of Job being Jewish, as lacking is any reference to the covenant.  There is some scholarly thought that this episode stems from around the time Abraham was called by God from Ur, Mesopotamia. Uz is considered east of Israel, across the Jordan.  Scholars often regard Uz as mythical -- think, for example, how the Land of Oz was inspired by the Land of Uz.   Whether actual or allegorical, Uz is a sphere where Job was the greatest of men. Job was upright and blameless though the King James likely misses the mark by indicating “perfect.” Job served in a priestly function where he offered sacrifices, an implicit acknowledgement of the Lord's power and human frailty. Job was God-focused and holy.  He feared the Lord and avoided evil. He is close to the ideal man who faces the ultimate test of faith. Scholars (including Robert Alter) note this Book to be a masterpiece of the original language, with a rich repetition of ideas through Hebrew parallelism.  The words of one line relate to others, frequently the immediately following line, in a variety of artistic ways. Especially in the first few chapters, the language says so much with limited wording. Job was exceptionally wealthy, in his bountiful family as well as with material possessions. Seven sons and three daughters were born to him.  He had a multitude of servants, as well as 7,000 sheep and 3,000. As the ideal father, Job set up each of his sons for success.  Each would host the family on a special occasion, perhaps a birthday. In this rotating bliss, all could undertake the responsibility.  On such days, Job would make a burnt offering to the Lord, thinking there was a chance any of his sons could have cursed God in their hearts.  We are then transported to a Celestial forum.  There came a day, that the Sons of God, came to stand in attendance before the Lord.   Among the Sons of God was Satan or the Adversary.  The superior translation from ancient Hebrew is ha'Satan, which stresses an identifiable function, more than a name. The ha'Satan can be thought of something like an Inquisitor, performing necessary but harsh work.   The Lord posed a question to Satan -  From where does though comest?  There was no warm greeting, but more of an acknowledgement of an unbeloved visitor. The response: From roaming the earth, and walking up and down in it.  The implication is the Devil is here on earth with us, all around, serving in his designated capacity. The Lord then queries: Have you paid head to my Servant Job, for there is none like him?  The Adversary proffers the fundamental question of the Book -- Does Job Fear God for Nothing?   We see Satan's role cast as a cynic.  He poses a question tempting the ultimate power, which takes things a step further than the Serpent tempting Eve in the Garden. What lacks is any semblance of a demonic personification.  There is more nuance, where Satan has a role to play in the Lord's grand order.     Satan continues, Have you not made a hedge about him, this household and all that he has? You have blessed the work of his hand.  And spread his flocks. And yet, reach out you Your hand and touch all that he has. Will he not curse you to Your face? Satan is essentially asking, Let Me Test his Faith. And the Lord responded to Satan, All that he has is in Your hands. Only against him do Not reach out Your Hand. This essentially means - don't kill him. Satan got what he wanted and left, without a word wasted.  Satan then went out from the presence of the Lord. There is some thought that Job, as the ideal man, stands in for us all. For if the Lord granted Satan the authority to test his beloved son, surely Satan has the grant of authority, ability and desire to test us all.

GIdeon was asked to do something a bit tricky, and he wasn't sure how the people around him would react. Does that feel like you sometimes - a bit scared to do 'the right thing' because of what people will think? Martin tells us how Gideon gets on and how this story can help us too. Stu and Robin lead us through the session.

Pastor Gerrit continues our mid-week study through Genesis.

Exploring the journey of faith through the story of Abraham, this message reflects on the importance of trusting in God's promises even when reality seems contradictory. Through powerful examples from Genesis, Romans, and Hebrews, Pastor David Grobler emphasises the significance of waiting on God's timing, living in obedience, and bearing fruit through faith.

On todays JATGP (James and the Giant Preacher) James asks the Question "Does God test us". This leads to a talk about what kinds of test does Christ put us through? Don't miss it!

In this heartfelt video, a mother shares her family's journey of faith and divine intervention. Despite challenges after baptism, including a large financial hurdle with a hotel contract, God provides unexpected support through a business opportunity. The family navigates a tough economic situation with God's guidance and eventually sees their financial struggle turn around due to favorable currency exchange rates. The mother emphasizes her reliance on prayer and the strength gained from trusting in God, recounting moments when their needs were miraculously met, such as being invited to a restaurant opening when they couldn't afford to eat out. This testimony reaffirms the power of faith and God's promises, as highlighted by Psalm 37:25-26.

Sermon preached at ROCK City Church Melbourne by Pastor Christian Pakpahan

Speaker: Sr. Pastor Richard Parks Scripture: Luke 22:31-32 Objective: After people are saved, they often face more problems and suffering because they become enemies of Satan, who tries to disrupt their faith in God. The focus then shifts from caring for the physical body to caring for the spirit, as the body is temporary but the spirit lasts forever. As Passover gets closer, Jesus tells his disciples to prepare the meal, knowing that Judas Iscariot will betray him. During this time, the disciples argue about who will be the greatest in the kingdom. Jesus teaches them that real greatness comes from being a servant, showing that humility and helping others are more important than seeking status.

Daniel shows faith in impossible situations through simple obedience, and in doing so transforms the culture around him.

In today's sermon Brother Dustin discusses the significance and symbolism found in the story of Abraham and the order from God to sacrifice his son Isaac. New messages every Sunday! Support this ministry. Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ficfreno.com/give⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for details.

Are you in a meanwhile?My guest, Carol McLeod, describes a meanwhile as "the test of faith between a crisis and God's visible intervention."What do you do or say during the time between when a crisis intersects your life and when you see God's visible intervention?My guest is Carol McLeod. She's an overcomer, an award-winning author of sixteen books, host of the Significant Women podcast, international speaker, Craig's wife, and Marmie to her ten grandchildren.Carol and I discuss several snippets of her Bible study about the life of Joseph titled "Meanwhile: Meeting God in the Wait."I gained so much insight and understanding about those months or years in the meanwhiles - in the waiting - when I worked through Carol's powerful Bible study.Notable quotes from this episode with Carol McLeod:"Just as God has a plan for your life, so does the enemy. His ugly plan is that you, as a believer in Christ, will live out your earthly days in the dit of despair, in the pit of hopelessness, and the pit of unending depression. There is no potential for growth or nourishment there. The devil is unable to take eternal life from you, so he endeavors to take abundant life from you.""Joseph spoke generously because his life had been refined by human pain and he saw the unprecedented and miraculous plan of God unfold."Bible verses:2 Corinthians 5:7 "We live by faith, not by sight."Psalm 138:8 "God will accomplish what concerns me."John 16:22 "... no one can take away your joy ..."Genesis 50:20 "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many nations."Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Carol's Bible study, Meanwhile: Meeting God in the Wait, is available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.Connect with Carol McLeod:On her website:  https://www.carolmcleodministries.comOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carol.b.mcleodOn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleod_Get your ticket to the 20th annual women's conference: Overflowing: Living Abundantly in a Broken Culture HERE.

It is a good thing for our faith to be tested. The testing of an object can prove its worth, strength, ability, utility, and dependability. In the same way, when our faith is tested it proves and determines its genuineness. And the testing of our faith makes it more precious than gold itself. May we walk in the grace and power of God to pass every test of faith! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faithformygeneration/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faithformygeneration/support

In this episode the PK's discuss their thoughts on how they deal with tests of faith. Terry Wayne shares his specific struggle.

This Sunday we continued our series, Abraham: Journey of Faith with what might be the most famous story in Abraham's entire life. In the ultimate test of faith, God called Abraham to offer up his son, Isaac in Genesis 22. At this point Ishmael had been cast out. After 25 years of waiting, God finally brought the promise of offspring to fulfillment in Sarah bearing Isaac. That one boy carried the fullness of God's promises to Abraham – that his name would be great, that his offspring would outnumber the stars in the sky, that all the families of the earth would be blessed through him. Now the same God who made those promises was demanding that Isaac be given as an offering.  This story is gripping and powerful. It presents a devastating ethical conundrum. As we read through and study the text, we will work to enter into the tension and anguish of the story. It's only when we are able to experience the tension and anguish of questioning God's goodness in the midst of His justice, that we can experience the explosiveness of His grace. 

Abraham's test of faith is one of the most well-known accounts of his life and one of the most challenging to understand. To learn from Abraham's example we must understand the following:Understand the difference between a test and temptation.Understand there are options in taking the test.Understand that faith is obedience and unwavering trust in God's goodness.Understand the end your heavenly Father has in mind.Understand that Jesus passed the ultimate test for us.

Many of us are joyful and passionate for Christ while at church or surrounded by other believers, but will our devotion and dialogue remain the same when our faith is challenged by the world? Will our faith stand the test? Or will we falter and minimize our own beliefs because of fear and people's opinions. In this episode, we study the story of Daniel and the lion's den, where we learn not only about God saving Daniel from the mouths of the lions, but about how putting your trust in God despite your situation is always the best decision.

Dr. Richard Tran was on his way down a mountain biking trail when he accidentally took a much harder path than he had to. Since Dr. Tran is a chiropractor, he knew when he crashed that it wasn't good. But becoming a Christian recently in his adult life, he took the accident as an opportunity to trust God's provision more fully. Not only was God with him as he walked down the mountain, but God was also present through a horrible infection of his wounds and a nasty bout of pain-med related mental illness. I think you guys are going to love Dr. Tran's episode - what a witness of faith and God's grace through it all! ⁠PRE-ORDER Through the Fog: A Bible Study on God's Goodness Amidst Physical Suffering⁠ Use code “TTFHEAL25” for 25% off!

Another classic show from the archives. Randal Rauser is a Christian, John Loftus is a former-Christian-now-atheist. They co-authored the book “God Or Godless? debating 20 controversial questions.” They joined me for two discussions. In his “Outsider Test for Faith” Loftus claimed that Christians would abandon their faith if they critiqued it in the way they do other religions. But Rauser argued that Loftus needed to put his own atheistic worldview through the test. They also debated whether stories of miracles can count as evidence of the supernatural.
