Podcasts about treasuring god

The beginning of a growing relationship with Jesus Christ is Treasuring God, and as we treasure God we find that we are being transformed to look like him in our character! We will love every other person we encounter (as we love ourselves) - all others. To conclude our series, we'll explore how there is a unique call even within Loving Others to especially Pursue Unity with other believers in Jesus Christ. Are we pursuing that unity?

The beginning of a growing relationship with Jesus Christ is Treasuring God, and as we treasure God we find that we are being transformed to look like him in our character! As this transformation unfolds in us, we find the third vision component becomes more pronounced - we'll be a people who are Loving Others (every "Other" in our lives). People inside the church certainly, but also (and perhaps especially) those outside the church. We'll love those who agree with us, but also those who despise us - we will be a people marked by Loving Others - ALL others!

Last week we explored our first vision component of Treasuring God - treasuring him and seeking his kingdom above all else! This week we'll remind ourselves of this first call to Treasure God and also discover an incredible principle that we are transformed to look like whatever we treasure! We grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ as we are Being Transformed to resemble him more and more as we treasure him!

As we launch 2025, we're going to get back to basics. Our mission here at Berean is "Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." But questions we ought to ask include: "What does a growing relationship with Jesus Christ look like?" "How can I tell if I'm growing in my relationship with Jesus?" As a church, we've identified, from Scripture, four core areas of what a growing relationship with Jesus looks like. We'll discuss the first one in order to build a foundation upon which the others will stand.

Today, Pastor Steve emphasized the importance of Psalm 119:11, where the psalmist declares, "I have stored up Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Through this message, he encouraged the congregation to practice scripture memory and meditation as vital tools for deepening their relationship with God. Join Pastor Steve as we study God's Word.

In today's message, Dr. Brad Whitt shares why you should and how you can treasure God's Word, the Bible, in your heart and life.

It is our family Sunday service. David explores the significance of scripture during the Christmas season, drawing parallels between the stories of Samuel and Jesus. David emphasizes the importance of understanding Jesus's identity and purpose, the nature of our search for God, and the need to embrace God's presence in our lives. David encourages listeners to treasure the things of God and recognize that the search for God is over, as He is always present with us. 00:00 The Growth of Jesus and Samuel 05:53 Understanding Jesus's Presence 09:35 The Nature of Christianity 11:04 Treasuring God's Presence 12:05 The Invitation to Surrender

Today, Pastor Steve reflected on Psalm 119:11, emphasizing the importance of hiding God's Word in our hearts to guard against sin and strengthen our faith. Through this powerful message, we were encouraged to prioritize Scripture memorization in our daily lives. Join Pastor Steve as we study God's Word.

One of the best ways to create lasting memories is to adopt family Christmas traditions. Holiday traditions are special and strengthen the bond of family. When family Christmas traditions are adopted and implemented, you can alleviate stress. Instead of being like Mary, become more like Martha and enjoy the time with family. Holiday traditions make shopping easier and create memory-making opportunities for generations to come. “We reveal to ourselves and others what is important to us by the way we celebrate.” ― Noël Piper, Treasuring God in Our Traditions Holiday traditions are lovely, timeless treasures.  Scripture provides many examples of Biblical and familial traditions. Many are in the Old Testament, and our friends in the Jewish community still celebrate them today, for example, Passover.  Our Christian traditions honor Christ: waving palm branches on Palm Sunday, fasting during Lent, lighting the Advent wreath, displaying a nativity, and many more.  Several years ago, I read Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noël Piper. It was a beautiful reminder of incorporating traditions into our daily lives while raising our children. Treasuring God in Our Traditions inspired me to implant traditions more deeply in my children's hearts. We have always had family traditions. It was a priority for me to establish them as our children grew. I wanted specific expressions of love foundational for our children and, someday, their children. I dreamt of hearing them request certain traditions or share their memories with new additions to the family. Some of our traditions have become non-negotiable; they are must-haves, especially during the holiday season, special days, and birthdays.  Our family traditions include meals, special foods, gifts, and attending church services. There is no greater tradition than honoring, praising, and worshiping the Lord with family and friends. What if, especially at, but not limited to, the holiday season, we create new traditions that honor the Lord and set aside time to show our gratitude for him and the blessings He has generously bestowed upon us throughout the year? Not all traditions, however,  must be rooted in faith, but when we are faithful, our traditions will reflect love and our relationship with Christ.  The goal of family Christmas traditions or holiday traditions, in general, is not to create more anxiety and stress. In Luke 10:38-42, we learn the story of Martha, who, alongside her sister Mary, welcomed Jesus into her home. Mary immediately sat at Jesus' feet and listened to him teach. Martha, stricken with anxiety over her to-do list, quickly became upset that Mary was not helping her. When she asked Jesus if he cared that Mary had left her to do all the work, Jesus said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."

Have you ever felt an emptiness despite a life filled with busy schedules, possessions, and endless media consumption? Join us as we explore how fasting can be the key to feeling truly fulfilled. In this episode, we dive into the spiritual practice of fasting, not as a burden, but as a gift that allows us to be filled with God's Spirit and live fully alive. We'll discuss how fasting, much like prayer, has the power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. Jesus modeled and taught fasting, showing us that it's a way to draw closer to the Father and seek His guidance. We'll look at how fasting isn't about abstaining from food alone but is a means to focus on God, trust Him more, and align our lives with His will. Join us as we unpack these key scriptures and reflect on these essential questions. We'll also introduce a monthly communal fast, encouraging us to come together in seeking God's presence and experiencing His fullness. **Key Scriptures:** - **Matthew 9:14-15:** Jesus discusses the appropriateness of fasting with His disciples. - **Matthew 6:16-18:** Jesus instructs on how to fast in a way that honors God. - **Acts 9:9, 13:2-3, 14:23:** Examples of fasting in the early church. - **2 Chronicles 7:14:** The promise of God's response to humble prayer and fasting. - **Psalm 42:** A depiction of longing for God's presence. - **Job 23:12:** Treasuring God's words more than necessary food. - **Matthew 5:6:** The blessing for those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. **Motivation for Monthly Communal Fast:** As a church, we are committed to fostering a spirit of togetherness and dependence on Jesus. Starting August 1st, we invite you to join us in a monthly communal fast. This is not just about abstaining from food but about seeking heartfelt repentance, drawing closer to God, and aligning our lives with His will. Through intentional relational discipleship, we aim to create a rhythm that allows us to experience God's presence and form our spiritual practice together. Abstain from a meal or your own form of fasting, as we pray together for the lost to hunger for and experience Gods presence as we do

Dear Friend, When life is busy, we don't always pay attention to what's going on inside of our hearts. We might feel like we're just functioning on auto-pilot, but the truth is, our hearts are probably leading the way. The word "heart" occurs over 800 times in Scripture, and many of those verses show us how plans, decisions, actions, words and thoughts all flow out of the heart, so it's not surprising that we are commanded to love God with all of it! The Lord calls us to treasure Him supremely, but it's easy for our "loves" to get out of order! So in this short episode, we are taking a moment to do a heart check as we continue our series on loving God with all that we are. Love to you all!

Psalm 84

“The issue is not the model. If the Spirit is in it, it doesn't matter what the model is. It's his presence that makes the difference.” In this talk, Tope Koleoso called us back to fear the glory of the Lord. To repent of relying on systems and structures instead of the Spirit, and to return to our first love. Recorded live at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2024 in Nottingham.

May 12, 2024 – 10:00 AM The Kingdom Among Us sermon series “Treasuring God Above All Else” Scripture: Matthew 6:19-34 Jon Sherrill, preaching

Carolyn Calupca on the program was a long time senior producer at Crown Financial Ministries where she worked closely with Larry Burkett for many years. She's now a frequent contributor here at Faith and Finance and the author of our new 4-week study guide, Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich Fool.  WHAT IS THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL?Jesus delivers this parable in 33 AD, during a time of significant political and spiritual tension in Judea under Roman rule. As Jesus moves toward Jerusalem for the last time, he attracts a large following, drawn by his authoritative teaching and miraculous deeds. Amidst his teachings on judgment and preparation, an individual interrupts to seek Jesus' mediation in a familial inheritance dispute.The setting is marked by societal unrest and anticipation for spiritual guidance.Jesus' teachings captivate thousands, highlighting his unique authority and the miracles he performs.The request for arbitration on an inheritance matter presents a moment of personal concern amidst broader spiritual teachings. WHY IS THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL RELEVANT TODAY?Jesus' teachings are timeless, addressing the core issues of the human heart, which remains unchanged. The parable of the rich fool is particularly poignant in today's materialistic society, where the accumulation of possessions often overshadows spiritual richness.The human heart's condition and its inclinations have remained constant throughout history.Modern society mirrors the parable's theme with its focus on accumulating material wealth.Jesus' message challenges individuals to examine the true source of satisfaction and richness in life. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE 'RICH TOWARD GOD'?Being rich toward God entails prioritizing a relationship with God over material wealth and possessions. Unlike the rich fool, who focused solely on his earthly treasures, being rich toward God means acknowledging His sovereignty and utilizing His blessings to serve others rather than oneself.Treasuring God above all material possessions and successes.Recognizing and giving credit to God for all blessings, contrasting the rich fool's self-centeredness.Utilizing God's resources to serve others, highlighting a shift from self-service to serving God and community. HOW CAN THE STUDY "RICH TOWARD GOD" HELP GOD'S PEOPLE?The study "Rich Toward God" encourages introspection on personal values and priorities, guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of what truly satisfies the soul. It asks probing questions about one's deepest needs, the pursuit of abundance, and the journey to becoming rich toward God.Encourages self-examination of one's deepest needs and sources of true satisfaction.Guides individuals on a reflective journey to discover how to become genuinely rich toward God.Offers practical questions and insights to facilitate personal spiritual growth and reevaluation of life's priorities. ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:I'm considering a reverse mortgage for my home valued at $200,000 and want to know if I qualify and the benefits.I want to place an alert on inherited property to be notified if someone tries to sell it or use it as collateral.I have my savings sitting in cash within a Fidelity account after losing money during the pandemic.

If you consider the Bible a hindrance from the life you desire, you will never value it accordingly. God's Word is a blessing to apply and not a burden to avoid.

Just as the way that we use theology can be a gauge of whether we are treasuring God or this world and ourselves, so also our attitude toward material things tells us much about whether we are content to have God Himself.

How should a Christian approach holidays? Some Christians choose not to celebrate any holidays. Other Christians choose to go along with the flow and celebrate holidays as they were taught, and often very similarly to how the world celebrates (i.e. Halloween, Santa, Easter Bunny). A growing number of Christians are opting to be more intentional in their approach to holidays, doing their research concerning the roots of certain holidays, and instituting purposeful traditions that point their families to Christ. Of course this is a spectrum and not everyone lands in the same place, and that's okay. Our goal in this podcast is to help Christians think through some of those details and at least start you down a path of intentionality in your celebrations. Let us know what you think by leaving a 5-star review or leaving a comment. We would love to hear what traditions you have in your home!

In this week's episode, Aaron sits down with Bryant Weathers, a member of Saints Peter and Paul and disciple-maker of others. Aaron and Bryant discuss the core value that is held at Saints Peter and Paul called "Treasure the Word." They discuss their own experiences getting familiar with God's Word and the benefit we receive when we teach others the Word of God. As always, it's our goal that you'll take something from this conversation and start another conversation with someone else. As always, we hope you enjoy it!
