Podcasts about True faith

On Sunday, July 19, 2026 Brother Darrell Mercer brought the message "The Good Fight for The True Faith" to the congregation at Faith Fellowship Church. Be blessed as you enjoy this encouraging message.

What Is Emunah? Faith and Reason -- Three ApproachesThis is the fourth class in series on the Maamar (discourse) "Keitz Sam Lachoshech -- there is an end to the darkness," presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, on Shabbos Tisha B'Av, 5724, July 18, 1964, based on a Maamar said by the Rebbe Rashab 50 years earlier, on Shabbos Tisha B'Av 5614, July 29, 1914, the day World War I Began. This class, exploring the relationship between faith and reason and three different approaches to the question, was presented by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Friday, Parshas Devarim, 3 Av, 5786, July 17, 2026, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

This Sunday, Pastor Brad continued our series in Hebrews, "Not By Sight." We were reminded that true faith sees God's future as my present reality. We choose to see God's future promises as our present reality because God, who made the promises, is faithful. Watch as we learn three actions that change our lives when we choose to live by faith.This message is from 7/12/26

1 Timothy 4 Rev. Dr. Marc Shefelton

Speaker: Peter Hay on 28 June 2026

All this week we're looking at some great quotes that help us to look deeply into who we are and how our culture has shaped us and our kids. Here's one from writer G.K. Chesteron: “Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave.” Chesterton's words hold true today in a cultural climate where the threats to deep and meaningful Christian faith run deep and wide. Researchers with the National Study of Youth and Religion are telling us that the shape of faith for Christian kids is anything but Christian. Researchers have labeled this faith “Moralistic, Therapeutic, Deism.” What this means it that kids believe their purpose in life is to be good and feel happy, and God exists to help make that happen whenever they decide they need him. Sadly, this is not Biblical faith. True biblical faith is that God has saved them, and that they exist to bring glory to Him.

So That You May Know That You Have True Faith And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.1 John 2:3-6

On this episode of Day by Day, our journey through Romans, Dr. Clif focuses on how God's law was never intended as a means to earn acceptance but as a guide to life with God, with true transformation coming through faith in Christ and the empowerment of the Spirit.

Another week of transfer woes so we took the opportunity to revisit the frustrating lack of progress on the stadium situation. Si was again joined by Michael Martin and Stephen Hodgson who is True Faith's resident Chartered Building and Project Manager to get into it. We had a similar podcast with Stephen and Mick in June 2024 and we caught up to ask: What is taking so long and what if anything has changed in the last 2 years? Why is this so difficult and what are the limiting factors preventing real life progress? And How and when will the decision actually be made to take this forward - what are PIF actually waiting for and why does it look like they are looking for external funding? A great, if somewhat frustrating, discussion about a situation that is dragging on so long that its adding to the worries about the long term project at NUFC. Great input again from Stephen and Mick to remind us its not that simple but we'd be lying to say this podcast doesn't end up raising more questions!

James 5:16-18 (NASB) 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A prayer of a righteous person, when it is brought about, can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit. Theme: Since the prayer of the righteous is very powerful, we as Christians should be motivated to pray. 1) A Motivation to pray (5:16b) 2) An Illustration of the power of prayer (5:17-18)

In Chapter 5 we see three types of individuals. Hypocrites Disciples Religionists   Scene 1 - (Acts 5:1-11)  Hypocrites - ("an actor" appearances matter most)   Then:  Ananias and Sapphira sold property to give to the group and made it look like they gave it all to the apostles'. But without letting the group know Ananias and Sapphira held back a portion of the sale for themselves. (This wasn't wrong - but what was wrong was making everyone thing they had given it all) Somehow Peter knew Ananias and his wife had lied about giving it all to the group and Peter tells Ananias that he has lied not just to the group but to the Holy Spirit, which is the same as lying to God. And then suddenly Ananias dies.   Three hours later…   Peter asks Sapphira if she and Ananias had given all precedes to the group and she says yes and she dies too. Great fear seized the whole "church" (the people of God) when they heard about Ananias and Sapphira.    Now: God is saying we are to take Him seriously. Not that we are perfect, but that we walk with Him. We see the danger of hypocrisy from this story. God is asking us to be genuine in our faith, to be humble before Him, to focus on Him and not in how we appear to others.    Scene 2 - (Acts 5:12-16) Disciples - (followers of Jesus - following Jesus matters most)   Then: The apostles performed many signs and wonders and the believers met together in Solomon's Colonnade. More and more men and women believed and were added to their numbers. People brought the sick into the streets for healing.   Now: We see there is power in the name of Jesus, there is power in the Jesus movement and power in the Holy Spirit. We are to follow Jesus wholeheartedly, to be committed to the Lord Jesus.   Scene 3 - (Acts 5:17-42) Religionists - what matters most is power and position regardless of what God says.   Then: We see the Sadducees are filled with jealousy and arrested the apostles. Then during the night an angel of the Lord opens the doors of the jail and tells the apostles to go and stand in the temple courts and tell the people all about new life in Christ. They go to the temple courts and began to teach the people and that set in motion a series of events: People reported that the apostles had escaped The captain of the temple guard and his officers did not use force to re-arrest the apostles as they didn't want to anger the crowds. All 12 apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin to be questioned.  The Sanhedrin had told them earlier they could not teach in the name of Jesus Peter and others respond that they must obey God rather than human beings and that God raised Jesus from the dead - who they had killed by putting Him on a cross. They told that God's plan was repentance and forgiveness of sin. They tell how they were witnesses just as the Holy Spirit is, and that the Spirit was given by God to those who obey Him.  Then when the Sanhedrin hear all this they want to put the apostles to death. But Gamaliel (Pharisee who was respected by the people) speaks up - giving an impassioned address encouraging the Sanhedrin not to act precipitously, giving previous examples of rebels and outcomes. Gamaliel's speech persuades the Sanhedrin.  Instead of being killed the apostles were flogged (this is a brutal beating) and were told to no longer speak in Jesus' name. Yet they left the beatings rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering for the Name of Jesus. They continued day after day to preach in the temple courts and homes and never stopped proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.   Now:   This tells us the importance of following Jesus. Pastor gives a personal testimony of great opposition that he experienced and how he and others were told to stop talking about the Holy Spirit. He concludes with sharing that the group resigned their positions, and were more concerned about obeying God than obeying people. The result was Awake Us Now and God's blessing is reaching more people than ever thought possible from around the world. He share how he and the ministry continue to rejoice as we see the incredible power of the risen Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit and the amazing love of the Father. Pastor ends with stating God's desire Is that all people be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth in Christ Jesus.   This week's READING ASSIGNMENT:   Acts chapter 5-6 (read and reflect on these two chapters together     Now What?

James 5:13-16 (NASB) 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. A prayer of a righteous person, when it is brought about, can accomplish much. Theme: Prayer is an expression of our dependence on God in all of life's circumstances. 1) Times of suffering should lead us to prayer (5:13a) 2) Times of blessing should lead us to praise (5:13b) 3) In extreme sickness, we should call on the elders to pray (5:14-15) 4) In struggles with sin, we should confess to one another and pray (5:16a)    

When Philemon walks away from Paul's letter, what kind of response does Paul want to see — mere compliance or a heart full of faith in God's promises?

James 5:12 (NASB) 12 But above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment. Theme: Christians are called to be people who speak the truth and are faithful to keep their word. Outline: 1) Don't swear or take oaths to authenticate the truth (5:12a) 2) Make swearing/oaths unnecessary by always speaking the truth (5:12b)

James 5:10-11 (NASB) 10 As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. Theme: In times of suffering, look to the prophets and Job for spiritual encouragement.

Unfortunately, the American church is full of people who wear the mask of hypocrisy. And it's not just sexual sin. Many “deeds of the flesh” are indulged in, like anger, envy, gossip, and greed. But you would never know it because many who sit in churches every Sunday have learned to play the Christian part so well, it's hard to know what's true or what's just an act. Vinny Pappas joins the podcast to share how the Lord exposed the hypocrisy in his life, and how that was crucial in leading him out of sexual sin.   Resources: Pure Life Ministries Residential Program 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction (Video Series) By Steve Gallagher 20 Truths that Help in the Battle with Porn Addiction (40 Day Study Journal) By Steve Gallagher At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us?

James 5:7-9 (NASB) 7 Therefore be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. 8 You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Do not complain, brothers and sisters, against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door. Theme: Being righteous before God when you are wronged involves steadfast patience, always aware of the Lord's return & nearness. How to respond rightly when you are wronged in life: 1) Be Patient (5:7-8a) 2) Be Steadfast (5:8b) 3) Don't Turn Against Each Other (5:9) https://www.faithbiblechurch.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Sermon20260524.mp3

John Piper | Jesus endured for the joy set before him. Moses obeyed, expecting the Messiah. The early church suffered for a better reward. This is faith.

In this episode, we spend time in Psalm 34 and practice doing the Word by blessing God's name out loud, crying out to Him, and trusting Him - regardless of the outcome. Peter exhorts us to have a faith that seeks a homeland - a faith that goes beyond the fear of death - and to stop trying to solve the storms of life, but instead to get under the shelter of His wing.

True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not'. ACU Sunday Series. The Most Inspiring General Conference Talk on Faith You'll Ever Hear! True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not' In this inspirational video, Elder Dennis E. Simmons reflects on his youthful misunderstanding of faith through a story from his eighth-grade basketball tournament. He emphasizes that true faith is more than wishful thinking—it's a deep trust in Jesus Christ. Using the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Elder Simmons illustrates how true faith means trusting God even when outcomes don't align with our desires. He explores how figures such as Abraham, Daniel, and Paul displayed unwavering faith under trials, demonstrating that great challenges can cultivate greater spiritual strength. The address underlines that the world is a test of faith, administered by a loving Heavenly Father, and highlights the importance of maintaining faith in God's plan, even amidst suffering and uncertainty.
