Podcasts about unfaithfulness

James doesn't open chapter 4 by pointing at your enemies. He points at you.What causes the fights? The quarrels? The resentment that won't leave? James says it starts with the desires battling within you. Not your coworker. Not the person in your family who keeps showing up in your head. Within you.That is the harder answer. It is easier to name an enemy outside. But James presses us to look at the war within first.He takes it further. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive because you ask with wrong motives. Wrong desires produce wrong prayers. What you bring to God in prayer reveals what you are actually chasing. That is worth sitting with.Then he uses language that shocked his original readers. He calls them adulterous people. Not because they had all literally committed adultery, but because throughout Scripture, God describes His relationship with His people as a covenant. Unfaithfulness to God is like unfaithfulness in marriage. When we pursue friendship with pride, status, and self-sufficiency, we are choosing against Him.James names three layers of division the enemy works to create. Division within us, conflict rooted in unchecked desire. Division from God, the quiet drift that happens when we start preferring the world's values to His. Division between people, the slander, the gossip, the words used to shape how others see someone.Then James turns it. He gives us the antidote.Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.There is a period after that last sentence. Not an explanation. Not a condition. The promise stands on its own. You draw near. He draws near.But James is specific about how. He does not say believe harder. He says wash your hands. Purify your hearts. Grieve. Mourn. Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.That word grieve matters. Faith is not pretending. It is not performing happiness over real pain. It is bringing your whole self to God: the grief, the disappointment, the confusion, the regret. God can handle your honesty. The Psalms are full of it.After you resist, do not obsess. The devil wants your attention. We illuminate what we fixate on. James says resist, then run toward Jesus. That is repentance in its simplest form. Turn from. Turn toward.Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 11:28. Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Not come when you have got it together. Come now. Come weary. Come broken.The division is real, within you, from God, with others. But the antidote is already available. Draw near. And He comes closer.Scripture References:James 4:1-12 (Desires at war; submit to God; resist the devil; draw near to God; do not slander one another)Proverbs 4:23 (Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it)Proverbs 18:21 (The tongue has the power of life and death)Proverbs 12:18 (The tongue of the wise brings healing)Matthew 5:9 (Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God)Matthew 11:28 (Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest)

No one's proud of being unfaithful, but what if some people's cheating was actually caused by genetics, rather than selfishness? That might sound like a convenient excuse, but actually there could be some scientific basis behind it. In 2022 researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia analysed the DNA of over 7,300 twins aged between 18 and 49, all of whom had been in relationships for several years. What were the study's results then? Are some people simply programmed to cheat then?

This message from Hosea 1–3 reveals a powerful picture of God’s relentless, covenant love for His people. Through Hosea’s painful marriage to Gomer, we see that our sin is not just rule-breaking—it is spiritual adultery that breaks God’s heart. Yet God’s response is not to abandon us, but to confront our unfaithfulness, lovingly discipline us, pursue us in our wandering, and ultimately redeem and restore us at great cost. Just as Hosea bought Gomer back, God has come after us in our sin through Jesus Christ, paying the price to bring us home. The central truth is this: no matter how far we drift, God’s love will not let go—He is working even now to draw us back into a restored relationship with Him.

Theme: God condemns unfaithfulness. I. The Nature of Unfaithfulness A. Deliberate [worse than the lack of caring of the sluggard] 1. Refusing to listen 2. Refusing to do 3. Having an attitude of rejection a. Abhorring—casting off; loathing b. Despising B. Breaking the Lord's covenant (v. 15)—that's the key 1. What is a covenant? a. An agreement between two or more parties b. Covenants have been used throughout history: marriage; property; HOA; Mayflower Compact; U.S. Constitution c. A treaty is in many ways a covenant—sometimes explicitly d. National covenants [Covenanters] e. Church covenants [congregational] f. Stipulations g. Blessings for obedience, curses for unfaithfulness 2. We make covenants, because God is a covenant-making God 3. God made two distinct, overarching covenants with man a. The covenant of works—man could earn salvation b. The covenant of grace—salvation not by works, but via faith Application A. Do not think that you can earn your salvation by your own works 1. If you believe that, you will go straight to hell 2. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone B. Believe in Jesus 1. Trust in Him and His grace and His sacrifice on the cross 2. And then live for Him, out of gratitude, not out of payment

Matthew Week 16 | Matthew 5:27-32

This message explores the Seventh Commandment not just as a warning against adultery, but as a call to faithful, covenant love that reflects the heart of God. Moving from Jesus’ teaching on the inner life to Paul’s vision for marriage in Ephesians, we see that God designed marriage and family as the foundation for human flourishing and a living picture of Christ’s relationship with the Church. With practical encouragement to guard and strengthen our relationships, the sermon ultimately points to the hope of the gospel—reminding us that where sin has broken, God’s grace is able to restore and make new.

It is up to us if we tune in to the correct frequency. He also brings down a lesson from the wording of the verse about the word "maal" which has a double meaning in hebrew.

The book of Hosea is one of the most emotionally intense and theologically rich prophetic books in the Old Testament—and its opening chapters give us a lens for reading everything that follows.In this episode, we explore Hosea 1:1–2:1 as a paradigm for the entire book. From the very beginning, Hosea alternates between devastating bad news and breathtaking good news—prophecies of judgment and discipline followed by promises of renewal, restoration, and hope. That rhythm is not accidental. It's the heartbeat of Hosea's message.We begin with Hosea's shocking marriage to Gomer, a woman characterized by persistent unfaithfulness. This marriage is not merely biographical—it is prophetic. Hosea's relationship with Gomer becomes a living parable of God's covenant relationship with Northern Israel, exposing Israel's spiritual adultery and fractured loyalty to YHWH.We then examine the three children born to Hosea and Gomer and the symbolic weight of their names—names that announce judgment, estrangement, and the sobering diagnosis of their covenant identity. In particular, we wrestle with God's declaration to Israel: “You are not my people.” But Hosea makes it clear—this is not the end of Israel's story.By the end of chapter 1, the prophecy turns. Rejection gives way to restoration. Alienation gives way to belonging. Hosea foretells a future reversal in which those once called “not my people” will be called “sons of the living God.” Crucially, this promise is anchored to geography—“in the place” where judgment was pronounced, restoration will occur—pointing to a concrete, historical fulfillment within Israel's own land.From there, we trace how the apostle Paul draws on this very passage in Romans 9:23–26, arguing that Hosea's prophecy is already beginning to be fulfilled as Israelites come to faith in Jesus the Messiah. This includes Jews living in regions historically associated with Northern Israel in Paul's own day. What Hosea foresaw, Paul recognizes as unfolding.At the heart of both Hosea's and Paul's message is a profound claim: Israel's unfaithfulness is not the end of the story. God will reunite Northern Israel and Southern Judah under one leader, restoring them to be the people He always intended them to be.And that matters—not just for Israel, but for us.Because if God can reverse Israel's destiny, He can reverse the destiny of the world. Their story is bound up with ours. Their restoration speaks to our hope. The God who refuses to abandon Israel is the same God who refuses to abandon creation itself.Key Passages: Hosea 1:1-2:1Romans 9:23-26Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
