Podcasts about Toran

In John 17, we get a unique glimpse into Jesus' prayer to the Father just hours before the cross, and remarkably, He's praying for us. Toran's message explores the deep love of Christ, the unity He desires for His followers, and the invitation to know God personally through Him. As we experience God's love, we're transformed and called to reflect that same love to others. Jesus' prayer reminds us that even in His darkest hour, He had us on His heart.---Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9AM & 10:45AM.Decided to follow Jesus?

Idag möter vi författaren Karin brygger i Andakten i P1. Hon tar sin utgångspunkt i den judiska skördehögtiden Shavuot. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:Under våren när vi under sju veckor mellan Pesach och skördehögtiden Shavuot rör oss från frihet till uppenbarelse går vi in i en period av just förväntan och begynnelse. Från och med dag två under Pesach räknar vi oss fram mot Shavuot. Det kallas att räkna omern, att varje kväll läsa en välsignelse och räkna dagen. Huruvida detta räknande från början var en väntan på veteskörden eller om det handlade om judarnas ivriga väntan på att mottaga Toran vid Sinai - ja därom tvistar de texter jag läser för att utforska bakgrunden till räkningens veckor. Ett är säkert: när man på kvällen räknar dagen är det ett sätt att kultivera sin reflektionsförmåga och att stanna upp: förundras över ännu en dag. Kontemplera sin väntan, såväl som glädjas att vi närmar oss målet.Text:Predikaren 3:1-8Musik:Entr'acte (Arr) med Julian Azkoul & United Strings Of Europe av Caroline ShawProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

On Mother's Day, Toran wrapped up our series, “Festivals: Jesus and the Feasts,” by walking through the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkoth) and the three lessons God wanted Israel to remember: that they were once wanderers fully dependent on Him, that He is not a distant God but a with-you God who protects and provides, and that one day He will bring full restoration. He reminded us that everything we have is not because of our own strength or success, but because God has faithfully provided for us every step of the way. The message pointed to Jesus in John 7, where He declares Himself the living water and the light of the world — the fulfillment of everything the festival represented. We were challenged to ask ourselves which response we have toward Jesus: do we truly recognize Him as Savior and trust Him fully, or are we still trying to rely on ourselves?__Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus? We would love to help you figure out what's next! Let us know at https://bit.ly/TLC-i-decided=============Stay Connected!=============Website: http://localchurchgr.orgLocal Church Facebook: http://facebook.com/localchurchgrLocal Church Instagram: http://instagram.com/localchurchgrWeekly Email Newsletter: https://bit.ly/trendingatTLCVisit & What to Expect: http://localchurchgr.org/expectEvents: http://my.localchurchgr.org/eventsIf you would like to support The Local Church GR's ministry and help us continue reaching people in the Grand Rapids area, click here: https://localchurchgr.org/giveNeed prayer? Please let us know! - https://localchurchgr.org/care

Palm Sunday we kicked off a new series on how God uses rhythms and stories, like the Passover, to shape His people and remind them who they are. Toran walked us through the story of Israel, showing how they couldn't have rescue themselves from slavery and needed God to step in with a substitute—the Passover lamb. Jesus is the true “Lamb of God” who fulfills that story and brings ultimate rescue for all of us. We often try to fix or save ourselves, but we can't—we need a Savior. Toran offered an invitation to surrender, trust Jesus fully, and remember that real change comes from Him, not from trying harder. -- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 9 & 10:45AM (EST).Decided to follow Jesus?

Tori Toran snakket knapt før hun var åtte år. Hun var sjenert. Tilbaketrukket. Sensitiv for både lyd, lys, energier og humørsvingninger. Svært intelligent, men fikk ofte høre at hun var dum. Heldigvis hadde hun dyrene.Nå nærmer seg 50 år, og det er først nå at hun er i ferd med å utredes for autisme og ADHD. For Tori har veien inn i hjelpeapparatet vært lang. Det er ikke det at hun ikke har bedt om hjelp. Det er ikke det at hun ikke har trengt hjelp. Men hun var lenge så dårlig at hun strevde med å finne ordene. Strevde med å vite hva hun skulle be om, strevde med å finne ut hvilke tilbud som var tilgjengelige for henne. Derfor har hun frem til nylig heller ikke fått noen hjelp. Men nå, etter egenterapi og mange gode samtaler med gode venninner, er hun endelig klar for både utredning og forhåpentligvis også: få noen gode verktøy…Akkurat nå er Tori Toran på langtur i varmere strøk.

This Easter Sunday, we looked at a meal that Jesus had after his resurrection - after he traveled the road to Emmaus with two disciples (unbeknownst to them). After realizing they'd had this encounter with Jesus, they were forever changed and had to run and share the good news. This Easter, we should be asking: Where is Jesus now?

How are we willing to align our hearts with Jesus and be his hands and feet today?God's heart for the vulnerable is one of the most common themes in the Bible, and Nehemiah 5 is a great illustration of this. Those of us in the kingdom of God should strive to act as He would, obeying the fullspirit of the law.It is easy to see how this applies today as we navigate recent policy changes, particularly the support of newly resettled refugees in GR.

In Isaiah 7, God offers King Ahaz the opportunity to trust in him amidst wild circumstances and receive the gift of his presence; but Ahaz rejected it. Years later, when Jesus's earthly father Joseph is faced with the same choice, he humbly accepts this gift of God's presence. This progressive prophesy points us to the ultimate gift God intended for us: Immanuel, God With Us. Each of us today is offered the gift of Jesus, but we have to receive it. It's crazy what both King Ahaz and Joseph were asked to receive in faith - and it's wild what we are offered, as well. But saying yes changes the trajectory of your life and everything around you. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

Have you ever seen someone on a path you know will not turn out well, but been unsure if warning them was appropriate? The letter to the church in Thyatira focuses on Jesus as judge, and is a heavy but necessary setup as he does just this. He issues a warning that they must turn from following a false teacher of suffer dire consequences.

Standing with Christ can and will cost you something, but it's worth it. The second letter in Revelation is to the church in Smyrna, who is commended for their steadfast faith in the midst of unjust suffering. Jesus reminds them that the ultimate victory - the crown he gives - is better than anything else and comes only after life on Earth. -- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

True life is found when we lay ours down. Today, pastors Toran and Austin taught together about the difference between decision-making and discernment, reaching a place of holy indifference. This is a deep inner posture of surrender and release of our entire lives to God, being open to whatever He wants to do. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

God likes to bring dead things back to life. In Ezekiel 37, there's a vision of a valley of dry bones being breathed back to life. God's heart then was for restoration and it still is today.

Have you ever been around something so long that it becomes familiar and loses its impact? That can sometimes happen to us with church. We need new eyes. This morning, we examined three key parts of the Great Commission found in Matthew 28 and how TLC's mission flows from this scripture. We are one small church in Christ's larger Church, and we are committed to making disciples of Jesus. --- Join us for service online or in-person in Grand Rapids every Sunday at 8:30, 9:45 & 11:15AM.

Have you ever felt like your life isn't producing the fruit you thought it would? In John 15, we see Jesus describe himself to his disciples as the "true vine". He says that remaining in Him - abiding with Him - is the key to living a fruitful life that glorifies the Father.

There is a strange and compelling power of Jesus's sacrificial and all-encompassing love. This beauty is what Jesus is referring to when, in John 10, he calls himself "the good shepherd".

Might pursuing a life of safety on our own hold us back from experiencing the life God has for us? Many of us think that we can create a life of safety and security through our own means. With enough planning and smart decisions, we will be safe. But in John 10, Jesus tells us that He is the shepherd who we go through for refuge and protection in the world. In week 4 of our "I Am" series, we learn that recognizing Jesus's voice and following Him is what give us life to the fullest. Other things that promise safety are illusions - it is only found in Him.
