Podcasts about true christianity

True Christianity is marked by discernment and testing the spirits. In a world filled with persuasive religious, cultural, and political voices, believers are called to test every message by the lordship of Jesus, the character of His love, and the truth of Scripture. Are you carefully examining the spirits around you—or simply trusting what sounds right?

Fr Joshua Whicker MGL says true Christian virtue requires recognizing our safety and security in God's love, which frees us to bring our struggles to Jesus in trust rather than shame, allowing Him to transform us from within. True Christianity isn't about rule-keeping but about inner conversion that leads to freedom, joy, and virtue growing to the depths of the soul

 Just as kids bear family resemblance to their parents, true Christians should look like our Father—by hating sin, practicing righteousness, and reflecting His mission for the world. Does your life bear fruit that resembles your heavenly Father?

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on January 27, 2025. The readings are from 2 Samuel 6:12b-15, 17-19, Psalm 24:7, 8, 9, 10 & Mark 3:31-35. — Connect with us! Website: https://slakingthirsts.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCytcnEsuKXBI-xN8mv9mkfw

One enduring test of true Christianity is a deep love for the Father. This affection is evidenced by not loving the world, by doing the will of the Father, and by abiding in Him.

What does a truly Christian life look like? In this message from 1 John 2:1–14, we explore the second mark of true Christianity: a life marked by holiness. John shows us that while Christians are not sinless, they are no longer characterized by sin. True faith produces obedience, love for others, and a growing likeness to Christ.At the same time, this passage offers deep hope. When we do sin, we are not left in despair—Jesus is our righteous Advocate and the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Through Him, both the penalty and power of sin are overcome.

This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.Topics DiscussedThe meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformationHow rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from graceThe difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedienceWhy the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the SpiritKey TakeawaysThe Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about TRUE CHRISTIANITY vs FALSE CHRISTIANITY and shows what parades around as "Mainstream Christianity" has always been wrong.

Why are some Protestants drawn toward Roman Catholicism—and how should we think about the “one true church”? In this episode, Mark Vance launches a five-part series on the nature of the church, explaining why he remains a Protestant while seeking to speak with both clarity and charity about Catholicism.Mark walks through why historical rootedness feels especially compelling in shaky cultural moments, how true Christianity exists within the Roman Catholic Church, and yet why he believes certain teachings and practices obscure the gospel. He also introduces the four major reasons he's a Protestant: the nature of the true church, the history of the church, the question of authority, and the clarity of the gospel—setting the stage for the rest of the series.Episode Highlights:00:00 — Launching a five-part series: “Why Protestantism?” and why people are asking about Catholicism03:19 — True Christianity within Catholicism—and how some teachings can obscure the gospel08:55 — Overview of the four major reasons Mark remains a Protestant11:25 — The Protestant view of the “one true church” and the visible/invisible church distinction17:43 — How the Roman Catholic Church understands itself as the one true church (one, holy, catholic, apostolic)22:51 — Protestantism as a renewal movement within the one true church, not a competing “true church”24:19 — Are all Catholics saved?

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Join us this week as Pastor Mo shares on what it means to have a genuine relationship with God. Many Christians sincerely love God but still feel drained, stuck, or discouraged because they’ve been living out a performance-based faith instead of a relational one. We pray polished prayers, check spiritual boxes, and try to “be good Christians,” yet we hide our doubts and frustrations from the very God who invites honesty. The gospel reminds us that Jesus saved us while we were still sinners, proving that faith isn’t about perfection or earning His love. True Christianity is not performance — it’s intimacy, grace, and trusting that we are already the delight of God’s heart.(00:00) Real Christianity and the Freedom Within(14:42) Walking in Faith(23:42) The Covenant in Abraham's Sleep(30:38) Resting in God's Grace and Mercy(44:38) Connecting With City Light Church Podcasthttps://citylightnyc.com/

If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? [3] When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. [4] And you know the way to where I am going.” [5] “No, we don't know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” [6] Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Jesus doesn't just point the way, he is the ______. Jesus is the only Savior from slavery to _________ and ____________. Doing _____________ can't get you home. ____________ is man's attempt to get to God. ____________ is God's attempt to get to man. [John 3:16 NIV] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. True Christianity is not exclusive, it's _______________. [Romans 10:13] For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved." JC doesn't just tell the __________, he is the truth. John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Jesus doesn't just give __________, he is the life.

Episode Description:In this episode of Walk the Talk, James shares how real faith isn't about words — it's about action. Drawing from Jeremiah 7 and Galatians 5, he reminds us that “talk is cheap” without obedience to God's Word. True Christianity is revealed not by what we say, but by how we live, love, and walk each day.

Did you know that often times, the very things Jesus did, said, or taught, were the very things the religious establishment placed under the highest form of scrutiny?  It wasn't all because Jesus defied the law or the prophets, as some may assume; contrarily, Jesus came as the embodiment of and fulfillment of the law and the prophets. This begins a new series called, “The House of Simon: A Picture of the Modern Church” with part 1 titled, “The Untouchables.” From Luke 7:36–50, we see a moment when a broken, sinful woman poured out her tears and her costly ointment at the feet of Jesus. While Simon the Pharisee looked on in judgment, Jesus looked on with love. The challenge for today's church is clear: If it were us as Simon, will we respond with pride and distance, or with humility and compassion? True Christianity isn't about keeping our hands clean—it's about reaching out to the ones who not many care to engage with. Evangelism isn't always pretty, but when devoted fully to the leading of the Holy Spirit, it is always powerful. Watch as we discover what it means to walk in humility, restore the broken, and reflect the love of Christ in a hurting world.

Overcome evil with good. Love your enemies. You think it's hard, but it's harder on the soul to hate than it is to sacrifice pride. Your cross will be the world's chance to see God through you. Live your life because of who you are, not because of who others aren't. Your hate gives them power over you. 

It's a danger to allow 'Church-tianity' to take us away from True Christianity; distractions to draw us from our first love for Jesus. 3 things we need to do if we have wandered away, or risk losing the lampstand – Remember, Repent and Return!

Pastor Ryan Deas preaches from Titus 2:11–14, Ephesians 2:8–10, and Revelation 3:14–19, warning against becoming the lukewarm church of Laodicea. Grace is not a license to sin but God's power to deliver us from sin and transform us into His workmanship. True Christianity is not measured by material blessings or outward works but by being made new, walking in holiness, and living as a peculiar people zealous for good works.

Theme of this week's readings: The Golden Thread of True Christianity

Becoming a Christian isn't about family heritage, church attendance, or good deeds—it's about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Romans 10 outlines the pathway to salvation: we must call on the name of the Lord, which requires first believing in Him. To believe, we must hear the gospel message, which means someone must share it with us. Every Christian is both saved through this process and sent to continue it by sharing the good news with others. True Christianity involves acknowledging our sin, believing in Jesus's death and resurrection, confessing Him as Lord, and committing to follow Him daily.

Many young people measure their Christianity by boxes checked and rules kept. In this episode, Bobby Bosler challenges that mindset with the words of Jesus: “But I say unto you.” Victory in the Christian life is not about religion or outward conformity, but about walking with the living Christ in daily dependence and surrender.Topics DiscussedWhat it really means to be “more than a conqueror” in ChristThe danger of checklist Christianity and outward conformityHow Jesus corrected shallow interpretations of God's lawThe difference between religion and relationshipListening to the Spirit's voice in daily lifeYielding to Christ in practical moments (family, ministry, soul winning)Key TakeawaysJesus didn't save you to lose—He saved you to live as a conqueror through His power.A checklist mentality leads to dead religion; true Christianity flows from relationship with Christ.Obedience is not about outward compliance but inward surrender to Jesus.The Spirit of God actively corrects, leads, and guides believers—if we are listening.Dependence on Jesus enables victory in habits, prayer, soul winning, and God's will.Additional ResourcesThee Generation Youth Summit — Learn more and register early for this year's conference.Upside Down Kingdom Series — Read Bobby's articles on the Sermon on the Mount (with audio read-along available).Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast — Weekly sermons from the pulpit of Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, WV.

Why is Christianity so difficult—and why is that a good thing? In this episode, Father Columba unpacks the challenge at the heart of following Jesus. Drawing on G.K. Chesterton, he shows how the Gospel's radical demands aren't meant to scare us off but to invite us deeper into grace. True Christianity is impossible without God's help—and yet it's also the most rewarding life you can live.

True Christianity has been misunderstood and twisted in today's day and age. Living a real Christian life is all about Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross. There are no other deciding factors or anything that can change that. It isn't about what we want or what we think we need; it's about Jesus, and Jesus alone!!! Today, Pastor Bill will encourage you to live a Biblical Christian life. You aren't to live according to what culture says is Christian, but according to who God says Christians are to be!

Walking with Jesus -- True Christianity -- is the most challenging, yet rewarding path you'll ever walk. In John 15:12-17, Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us—a love that is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit.  True Christianity:  1. Requires Humanly Impossible Love 2. Requires Humanly Impossible Obedience 3. Produces Humanly Impossible Fruitfulness Only God can make these impossibilites possible in our lives. In this message, Pastor Steve Henry unpacks how abiding in Christ fuels our faith, empowers us to forgive, and transforms our lives into lasting fruit for God's glory.

Segment 1: • Jon Mark Comer is popular with Gen Z, pushing a me-focused worldview. • True Christianity demands battling all sin, not selectively tolerating some. • Sin's deceitfulness exposes the emptiness of self-made systems. Segment 2: • Comer's message mirrors Rob Bell-style mysticism and expressive individualism. • Gen Z craves depth but is being fed me-centric spirituality. • Comer's eclectic mix of truth and error makes him appealing yet dangerous. Segment 3: • Christianity isn't about making you “happy.” • The Spirit-driven life is about who you are, not self-improvement tricks. • Are you depending on inventions—or on the Holy Spirit—for daily living? Segment 4: • You are a Christian in the day-to-day as much as in the “spiritual.” • Living the Christian life isn't about feelings-driven systems—it's obedience. • Neglecting your daily walk isn't harmless—it's sin. ___ Thanks for listening!

We've been working through 2 Timothy on Sunday evenings. Last week I preached from 2 Timothy 3:6-9. It's a passage–like many in the pastoral epistles–that deals with false teaching. Paul warns against the folly of false teaching (and against the folly of falling for it).Which leads to the question: what is false teaching and how do we spot it?Obviously, there is no foolproof scheme for identifying false teaching. Biblical discernment takes years of prayer, preaching, and practice. But there are certain questions that may be help us sift the good from the bad. Here are 15 discernment diagnostic questions I suggested to my congregation.10. Does it promote an unmediated approach to spirituality? Mysticism, in its technical sense, can be defined as an approach to God apart from mediation. False spirituality tries to foster intimacy with God that does not go through the mediated revelation of Scripture and does not lead one to the mediation of Christ on the cross.11. Does the false teaching traffic in under-defined terms and slogans? Liberalism starts with an inattention to words. It is the triumph of orthodoxy to be careful with language.12. Does the teaching neglect the need for repentance? Beware the feel good invitation for everyone to come to the wide open arms. The coming of the Kingdom is not good news for sinners. It is good news for sinners who repent.13. Does the false teaching or teacher seem obsessed about one person, one doctrine, or one idea? An unsolicited exposé running into the hundreds of pages likely reveals more about the author than the subject.14. Does it result in an unbalanced presentation of the truth? True Christianity walks the tight rope between complementary biblical truths—truth and grace, Christ as God and man, salvation by faith alone and the necessity of the obedience of the Christian. It was usually the heretics who were guilty of resolving biblical tensions in ways that were too neat and tidy.15. Does the teaching fit with the Bible's story line of sin and salvation? How can a holy God dwell in the midst of an unholy people? If the teaching doesn't make sense as a plot line in that story, I'm suspicious.Mature Christians do not cast a critical eye on everyone and everything a hair's breadth different from them. But they are discerning, and they are careful. Guard your heart. Guard your home. Guard the good deposit.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

True Christianity is a fight! True Christianity! Let us mind that word "true." There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world, which is not true, genuine Christianity. It passes muster, it satisfies sleepy consciences; but it is not good money. It is not the authentic reality that called itself Christianity in the beginning. .

What true Christianity really is, is a the topic that Stuart Olyott opens in 2 Thessalonians 2 :13 – 3:5 and paints a portrait of "true Christianity." A real Christian, he says, is saved—a word "stronger than helped or rescued"—delivered from God's wrath through Christ's death and resurrection. That rescue rests on God's loving choice, the Spirit's sanctifying work, and believing the gospel truth: "God chose you as the first‑fruits to be saved through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth".

By Joshua Vazquez - This message emphasizes the importance of engaging in respectful conversations about faith within various Christian denominations. It encourages Christians to understand others' beliefs while sharing their own, using Paul's approach in Acts 17 as an example. Paul leverages their religous nature and

Does being religious guarantee your place in heaven? In Romans 2:29, Paul reveals the stark difference between outward religiosity and inner transformation. In this episode of Wisdom for the Heart, Stephen Davey uncovers the heart of true faith. Rituals and rules cannot substitute for a new birth through Jesus Christ. Drawing from both Paul's writings and Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, this message dives into the life-changing reality of being born again. True Christianity isn't about the name on the outside of the carton—it's about what's on the inside. Listen as Stephen explains why religion can never cover the mortal wound of sin and how only Jesus can offer the living water that brings life. If you've ever wondered about the difference between religion and redemption, this episode will bring clarity and hope.

How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in an age that historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker terms as the “Ahistoric Age,” in which we are profoundly disconnected from history. In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss what it means to be a priest of history and why it matters more than ever for Christians to maintain this critical conversation with the past.To receive Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age for your partnering gift, please click here.  https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resources-priests-of-history-stewarding-the-past-in-an-ahistoric-age/Topics discussed include: What does it mean for Christians to be priests of history?
