Podcasts about today jesus

Today Jesus takes into territory that we must be aware of; False Prophets coming in to the church with false teaching. As a Bible teacher I am always on high alert to this because false teachers come in to lead the flock astray and away. As we continue through Matthew Jesus gives us specifics to recognize in order to avoid the false teaching of the false prophets. Now I will add that I am going to take this and apply it to what we'll call “False partners.” Meaning, how to spot someone that you should not enter into relationship with. Should be a good one!!———————————————————————————————Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc:https://nbcc.com/church-essentialsConnect with us on Social Media:Instagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoTikTok: tiktok.com/@nbccnorcoFacebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGwWebsite: https://www.nbcc.com/----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at nbcc@nbcc.com.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus shared seemingly impossible words when He said "Do not be anxious about your life". There is a lot to stress over in life. We have needs that have to be met and these needs often consume our lives and turn into earthly treasures. How can we live in these times and NOT be anxious? Today Jesus gives us the answer in Matthew 6:33. Seek your good and perfect heavenly Father first and learn to trust Him with the rest of life.

Dear Humans, Today Jesus and I got to sit down with the one and only Jodie Sweetin. Yes, that Jodie Sweetin, Stephanie Tanner from Full House and Fuller House. She is still keeping busy, still making us laugh, and now hosting her own re-watch podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos! We talked about her activism in Los Angeles, the emotional night she honored Bob Saget, and how American life somehow went from being Full House to feeling like fucking Andor. Jodie shared what it was like to grow up in front of the camera, and how she has built a life beyond the shows that made her famous. The best part is how easily she fit in with me and Jesus, like she had been hanging out with us for years. We laughed, we reminisced, and we found some hope in the middle of all this madness. So give this one a listen. It is a conversation full of heart, humor, and a little holy mischief. Love, God P.S. Jesus and I stream LIVE every weekday at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. Come hang out with us. And remember to add The God Pod wherever you get your podcasts, whether it is Apple , Spotify, or anywhere else.

Today Jesus's Gospel message challenges us! He tells us that he did not come to bring peace but rather "division", particularly between family members. To understand this difficult teaching, we explore what Jesus means at the beginning of the passage when he says, "I have come to set fire to the earth!" The Scriptures and the Tradition often speak of God as fire, and as we get close to Him, we will experience the effects of fire: illumination, warmth, and purification. The fire is God's love that does not want to leave us in our impurities and attachments but must burn those things away, so that we can belong completely to Him and become the person that He made us to be.

Only then do we “know the truth,” and only then does the truth set us free. He exposes the slavery of sin, warns how religious pride can deafen us to God's voice, and insists that family resemblance—not ancestry—reveals our true father. Freedom comes through the Son.Sermon NotesIntroductionRecent context: Festival of Shelters → mercy to the woman caught in adultery → “I am the Light of the World.”Today: Jesus presses beyond inspiration to transformation—truth that actually frees.Scripture PassageJohn 8:31–36: Abide in Jesus' word → know the truth → the truth sets you free. Everyone who sins is a slave of sin; the Son sets you free to become family.John 8:37–47: Heritage vs. resemblance—claiming Abraham isn't enough. Refusal to hear truth reveals a different father; those who belong to God gladly hear God's words.Main PointsFreedom has a path: Abide → Know → Be FreeDiscipleship isn't a label; it's remaining in Jesus' teaching until it re-forms our thinking, desires, and habits.Sin enslaves—often while we look religious“Everyone who sins is a slave of sin.” We can sit under sermons and still miss Jesus if we protect cherished sins or prefer comforting lies.The Son makes sons and daughtersLineage can't liberate; only the Son can. Freedom is family language—adoption, not performance.Hearing reveals belonging“Why can't you understand? … you can't even hear me.” Pride, defensiveness, and love of sin harden our hearing. Those who belong to God welcome correction.Illustrations & StoriesCondemnation's dopamine: Like the accusers in John 8, we can get a quiet “hit” from judging others—proof we're still listening to the father of lies.Pastoral confession: A moment of stressed defensiveness led to apologies and restored relationship—an example of truth → confession → freedom.ApplicationAbide in His word: Daily Scripture that you meditate, pray, and obey—not just read.Practice confession: To God (1 John 1:9) and to people you've wronged. Freedom accelerates when truth is spoken aloud.Trade lies for truth: Identify the specific lie you've been believing (about God, yourself, others). Replace it with Jesus' words.Invite examination: Pray, “Jesus, show me the truth about me.” Notice where you're most defensive—that's often where He's freeing you.Walk as family: Receive your identity as a son/daughter; live like the Father you resemble—mercy over judgment, light over darkness.#hillschurch #beencouraged #nathanbell #evertonhills #brisbanechurch #brisbane #wesleyanmethodistchurch #hillschurchsermon

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 22nd of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to 1 John 5:7: “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” Then we go forward to the Gospel of John 1:1-3: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” Wow! Who is the Word? Yes, you got it right. The Word is Jesus. We as believers believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It doesn't say there are three that bear witness in Heaven, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. No, it says, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. Now we can understand how important it is to know our Bibles. I've always said if somebody says to you, ”Show me this Jesus you're always talking about.” Give them a Bible. When I travel to disadvantaged countries, where there's very little finance, people are very poor, we take food, we take clothes and we take Bibles and I want to tell you, they're not interested in the food, even though they may be hungry. They're not interested in the clothes, even though they may be clothed in rags. What they want is the Bible. I have seen grown men fighting for a Bible. I really mean that, fisticuffs, because the Bible is Jesus Christ in print.When I get letters sent to our office with very difficult questions, I have to go to the Word, and sometimes the people don't like the answers but I have to tell them, “This is what the Bible says.” When I have to settle differences, I've seen fathers and sons come to me who are having a dispute on the farm for example. I can't take the one side of the one party because I like them, no. What does the Word say? And then we go by the word and then there's nothing to argue about. That's why you put your hand on the Bible in court and you pray that you will tell the truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God. The Bible is my direction finder. You know the thought for the day that you are listening to right now, I'm in my sixth year. I have not missed one single day, all the glory to God, and people say, ”How do you do it?” I do it through the Bible, the Word of God. Today Jesus bless you as you cherish and love the Word, who is the soon coming Saviour of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ.God bless you and goodbye

When you hear the words "I DO" you immediately think of a wedding and the vows that are exchanged. This is a promise made for a lifetime, a commitment that is made in joy, faith and in eager expectation of blessings to follow. But what do you do when you have walked down the aisle with a person who has lied to you, fooled you and has enslaved you? This is not a new or unheard scenario in our world, but the marriage relationship I want to focus our attention on is the one many have made with a far worse enemy - Satan! Is it possible that you claim to have a relationship with Jesus but are sleeping with the devil? Holding on to addictions, worldly values, and numbing your insecurities instead of bringing it to Jesus? Today Jesus not only approves your divorce of Satan, but Jesus also empowers you to get out of this abusive relationship and find your rest and peace in Him. Are you ready to sign your divorce papers and get rid of the enemy of your soul? Stay tuned, God's Word is coming your way!

Luke 8 | Today Jesus continues to teach through parables. These are teaching stories that convey a wider understanding of the Kingdom of God. Today, Jesus goes on to use several different images, but does Jesus change subjects?

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said. . . . — Matthew 4:19 In the children's game “Follow the Leader,” one person takes up the role of the leader. The rest of the group lines up behind that person, mimicking their actions. It's natural for us to follow someone, and we all have role models we admire. These are people we want to pattern our lives after. But we need to ask, “Whom are we following? Whose footsteps are we walking in?” In the Jewish culture of Jesus' day, a rabbi (religious teacher) would invite students to join and work with him for a period of time—often years. The invitation would be a call to walk in their way, mirror their actions, and become their disciples. Luke 6:40 describes this process: “The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” This involved learning by experience and being shaped to a new way of life. Jesus extended that kind of invitation to Andrew, Peter, and others, saying, “Come and follow me. Walk closely with me, learn from me, and become my apprentices.” Today Jesus extends that same call to each of us: “Walk in my way, learn from my teachings, and become my disciples. Do life with me so that, over time, you may resemble me.” Lord Jesus, what an amazing privilege it is to be invited to follow you and learn from you. Guide us, as your disciples, to follow you faithfully each day and bring the good news of your kingdom to people everywhere. Amen.

Today Jesus proclaims he is the good shepherd. The shepherd cares for us in ways both subtle and profound. The shepherd is not afraid of suffering or death and they invite us to imagine ourselves in these places as well. The shepherd asks us to face our enemies, even if they may be deep within ourselves.

Today Jesus teaches his disciples who are at home in God's Kingdom the spiritual art of hiddenness.

After the resurrection Jesus finds everyone who has lost hope, faith and belief. Today Jesus does the same. We can quit prayer, church and even God but God will never quit us. God will chase you down.

Did Christianity Today question whether Jesus was nailed to the cross? In this episode of Didaché, Justin Peters addresses a shocking article published under the editorial leadership of Russell Moore that implies Jesus may have only been tied to the cross. Citing Dr. Jeffrey Garcia of Gordon College, the article suggests a reinterpretation of the crucifixion that contradicts both the biblical text and centuries of Christian understanding.Justin responds with clear scriptural evidence from John 20, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53, and Colossians 2 to affirm what the Bible plainly teaches: Jesus was nailed to the cross. He also exposes the deeper concern—how articles like this erode trust in the authority and inerrancy of Scripture. With clarity and biblical conviction, Justin calls believers to stay grounded in God's Word and avoid publications that compromise it.Listen to this important response, and be reminded why Scripture—not cultural revisionism—must shape our doctrine.WWUTT YouTube Channel (Recommended - please subscribe)Full Christianity Today article (CT recommended?

Today Jesus gives us the very humorous image of a man in need of assistance with a sliver with his eye, and the person who wants to help him has a beam in his own eye! For those of us who are inclined to help others with their issues, Jesus commands, "Remove the beam from your own eye first." What is the beam in my eye? That would make a great focal point for us for our efforts this Lent! In order for us to lead others in faith, which Jesus is asking of us, we first must be healed of our own blindness and be rid of that beam!

Many people misunderstand Christianity, viewing it like every other religion. They wrongly assume it's all about what you can and must do for God. Today Jesus makes it clear He did not come to be served. God is not looking for what you can do for Him. Rather, Jesus came to serve you with His life, death, and resurrection. We call this the gospel, that at the heart and core of the Christian faith and doctrine is the heart and core of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life to serve as your ransom for sin, death, and hell. God be praised. .

Jesus returned to His hometown of Nazareth and had been rejected. He didn't throw in the towel and quit, but “He went down to Capernaum”. He went down to a dark place where demons, evil, and wickedness abound. And it appears from all the Gospels, that as a result, great numbers of people were afflicted with various sicknesses, blindness, and diseases.   Jesus shows up as a great Light in the midst of that kingdom of darkness, bringing peace, bringing hope, bringing grace, and bringing salvation to hungry, hurting, broken, sick people. This is where Jesus feeds the five thousand, gives sight to the blind, raises the dead, cast out demons, and heals the sick. It appears that Jesus did more miracles in this region than He did in the area surrounding Jerusalem.   Yesterday we discussed Luke describing how Jesus had authority over the demons as He cast the demon out of a man in the synagogue at Capernaum. Luke tells us that the people who saw this responded in awe of what they saw in verses 36-37, “Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, "What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out." And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.”  Can you imagine what the people that just tried to kill Jesus back in Nazareth were thinking when they hear about all these things!   Today here in verses 38-44, we want to talk about how Jesus not only has authority over the demons but how He also has authority over diseases. I've been to Capernaum many times and we always go to the old ruins of an ancient synagogue from the time of Jesus that is right next to the excavated foundation of a house they believe was Peter's house. A church is built over them with a glass floor so you can see them. And this is all within a few hundred feet of the northern tip of the Sea of Galilee.   After casting out the demon in the synagogue, Jesus stands up and walks over to Simon Peter's house where He is told that Simon Peter's mother-in-law is sick with a high fever. What Jesus did was extraordinary. He did not treat the fever as though it were a medical ailment needing treatment. He spoke to it and rebuked it! And it left her (4:38-39). Did Jesus speak to the virus or to the bacteria? Had Satan caused this fever as he caused poor Job's boils (Job 2:1-7)? We do not know. We do know that the cure was instantaneous. Mark's Gospel informs us that the woman stood to her feet and hurried off to the kitchen to minister to the family with a meal. By the way, Jesus doesn't heal us to write a book, or go on a speaking tour, but He heals us to serve and minister to those around us.   When I think about this incident, I am reminded that Jesus not only cares about the multitudes but that He notices and takes time for the individual. This also assures me that Jesus cares about the physical ailments of people. Today Jesus still has the power and authority of sickness and disease and He can heal anyone if it is His will. Over the many years of our ministry, I have anointed with oil and prayed with many sick people in their homes and in the hospital and at church. Many were healed and immediately knew it. But also, in many cases the Lord's healing was an ultimate healing in taking them home to be with Him in heaven.   Sometimes God doesn't answer the prayer to remove the sickness as with the Apostle Paul, but He always promises that His grace will be sufficient as we go through the suffering (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). And what really matters is to be confident that God loves you and that He cares about every type of physical, emotion, mental or spiritual suffering or sorrow you might be dealing with. Trust His love and grace today even if you can't feel His hand.   God bless!

In this episode of Next Step Leadership Podcast, Tracy Reynolds and Chris Maxwell continue their conversation with Pastor Lee Mason. In 2007, Lee and his wife Lisa began Classic City Church, a non-denominational church serving the city of Athens, GA. Lee talks about his book, Ten Historical Facts About Jesus: What Historians Are Certain of Concerning History's Most Compelling Figure. His ten points are valuable for today's leaders to know: Jesus was a real historic figure.Jesus was known as a miracle worker in a manner unique to anyone else.Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph in Arimathea. Jesus' tomb was found empty by a group of women.Numerous people claimed to have seen Jesus alive after His death. Jewish monotheists began to worship Jesus as God.A resounding Messianic movement emerged after Jesus' death.Gentiles renounced their pagan ancestry to worship Jesus.Today Jesus is the most significant figure in history.Learn from these lessons. Understand the importance of Christ's death and resurrection, and why we believe what we claim to believe. The historical figure of Jesus can lead through us as we make the next steps as His followers.https://www.classiccity.org/staff

So far in Matthew's narrative, Jesus has demonstrated that he is Lord over disease, death, demons, and even Lord over Creation and the created order. He also demonstrated that he is Lord over men, offering forgiveness of sins to the repentant. Today Jesus demonstrates that he is Lord of the Sabbath, refusing to compromise his heavenly standard in order to submit to the scribes. Moreover, he freely calls men to serve to him, sits with those who would have been considered unclean without becoming unclean himself, and continues to heal those who are ailing. No like this has ever been seen in Israel before Jesus, setting him apart as more than just a prophet and more than just a priest. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Simon Peter . . . dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. — John 21:11 Years ago we lived on the edge of a lake in eastern Ontario. We often took our fishing poles out to see what might be swimming in the water. Some seasons were better than others, and we released many sunfish so that they could grow bigger. Some bass ended up in the frying pan, but we certainly were not experts. The fishermen in today's story were experts. They didn't know who was calling out to them from the shore, but they knew what it was like to try fishing on the other side of the boat. Yet on this day they were not sure what to expect; they had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. These men had also had a rough time lately. They had been following Jesus, the Messiah, but they were confused with the outcome. Jesus had died and risen again, but Rome was still in control. What was the Messiah up to? Then, after throwing their nets on the other side and getting so many fish that they couldn't haul the net in, something triggered in their minds: “It is the Lord!” (See Luke 5:1-11.) Eventually they dragged their overflowing net ashore, and it was not even torn. A reminder that God can do more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Today Jesus wants to remind us that he has called us to follow him too. What is Jesus up to in your life? In your neighborhood? Your community? Your area? Is he calling you to trust him again like you did when you first met him? Lord, thank you for your abundant love as you keep calling us to love you and others. Amen.

Dear Humans, Today Jesus and I sit-down with Johnny Palmadessa, a sharp young Democratic Strategist who found himself in the thick of chaos at the Trump campaign rally where a mass shooting occurred on Saturday. One innocent bystander lost their life, and Donald came within 2 inches bullet going through his brain. Johnny shares his firsthand account of the event. Jesus and I tried to wrap our minds around it, and let me tell you, it's not easy processing this kind of madness. Johnny's story is a sobering reminder of the real consequences of divisive rhetoric. It's a wake-up call, a cosmic nudge, if you will, to re-evaluate who you're supporting and why. Who will attract more chaos like a magnet in the future? Who will work to calm things down? So, do yourselves a favor and watch the full interview. Trust me, it's worth your time. You'll hear Johnny's harrowing experience, and maybe, just maybe, you'll come away with a clearer understanding of the gravity of the situation. Plus, Jesus and I throw in some of our classic banter to keep things light. You won't want to miss it.

We continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue a people of his own from among the nations—even us. Today Jesus calls a social outcast to follow him as a disciple. This made the Pharisees grumble, and it should make us wonder, “Why does he eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

You can grab the free workbook at www.catholicmomcalm.com/lent2024 Full text of St. Faustina's Diary. Reflection question: Say this prayer a few times and write down what comes up for you. What does the Lord put on your heart? Excerpt from St. Faustina's Diary for today (186): Today Jesus said to me, I desire that you know more profoundly the love that burns in My Heart for souls, and you will understand this when you meditate upon My Passion. Call upon My mercy on behalf of sinners; I desire their (93) salvation. When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and with faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion. This is the prayer: “O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You.”
