Podcasts about words of life

During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. This week, we considered the oft quoted but hard to understanding teaching of Jesus concerning judging. How does this teaching invite us to a life of humility, and what practice does Jesus invite us into to cultivate kingdom humility in our lives?

Pastor Brad encourages us to engage and grow in the Words of Life so that we can use it effectively in evangelism.

When life doesn't go as planned, when prayers go unanswered, and faith feels uncertain — how do you keep saying yes to Jesus? In this week's episode, Jay and Thomas unpack John 6 and the moment when many of Jesus' followers walked away. Peter's response still resonates today: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life.” Together they talk about what it means to keep trusting Jesus when things don't make sense, how God's grace draws us to Himself, and why faith often involves risk, surrender, and hope. They also explore the first of Jesus' “I Am” statements — “I am the bread of life” — and what that tells us about who He is and how He satisfies our deepest needs. In This Episode: • Why we keep saying yes to Jesus • How God draws us by grace • When God's “no” becomes an invitation to deeper trust • What it means to feed on the bread of life #calvarybible

Pastor Blair, who is also an English Major, gives us a much needed lesson on the literary forms found in the Bible; how to recognize them, why it is important to read the Bible in light of them, and how they reveal so much more about God than we often realize.

His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul.

We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. This week, Mike Erre invited us to consider how Jesus' illuminates the difference between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset. Rather than living split between what we treasure and what we possess, Jesus' invitation allows us to live with our whole hearts. Having faith in Christ will not make us immune to losing what we enjoy, but our faith in Christ should actively disciple us away from anything we make of ultimate importance above his kingdom life.

Are our practices training us in the love of God and neighbor, or are we training in the love of self? If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Pastor Brad continues our sermon series through Psalm 119, encouraging and teaching us to meditate on God's word.

Continuing through our sermon series in Psalm 119, Pastor Greg encourages us to study the words of life and gives us some tips on how to do that effectively.

I would love to see encouraging words flowing out to all those around us.

He reminded us that the Torah is not a set of legal rules, rather it is a vision for how to live into an entirely new Kingdom. The grace of the gospel isn't to set us free from obeying hard teachings, it is to give us a new heart so we might obey with our full selves. Jesus came to give us to transform us from the inside out. If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Pastor Greg continues our sermon series through Psalm 119 by giving a brief overview of how we got the Bible as we know it today and what the implications are for the Bible being the inspired Words of God.

We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. Dostoyevsky once said that “beauty will save the world.” This week, Rick Callahan invited us to consider how Jesus' call to be Salt and Light echoes the call for Christians to fill the world with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. While many of us find it easy to focus on the first two, it's not always clear where Beauty fits in. Rick helped us explore how doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) can make the world a more beautiful place, helping us live into Jesus' command to be Salt and Light in a world desperate for healing and transformation.

Words of Life - Victoria

Psalm 1:1-6

The final word of our Words of Life series is "witness." When we consider all the words that have pointed us to the good life of the gospel it's not surprising Jesus would call us to let others know and invite them in! Explore this word, call, and impact (Acts 1:1-11) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250601_DavidM.pdf

The words we speak matter. They can bring life or they can bring death. This Sunday we'll take a look at the book of Proverbs together and learn how to bring life to those around us with our words.

While our culture tends to describe love through or enjoyment, what kind of love can truly change a person and impact society - even dispel the many fears we live with? We explore how the New Testament describes love uniquely different. (1 John 4:7-21) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250523_DavidM.pdf

Holiness is not a common word in our culture. Who aspires to be holy? Yet many would long to be called into something or grow into someone with meaning and purpose. Now you're getting at what the scripture calls holy. We'll unpack it through the ideas of wonder, calling and living. (1 Peter 1:13-2:3) Our message notes can be found here http://www.gatheringcafe.com/thewestsidegathering/podcasts/WSGmsg20250518_DavidM.pdf

Today we read Acts 5:17-32. We take a look at the contrast between the priests jealousy of Jesus's influence and the Apostles devotion. What we find is the priests were concerned with the influence they could lose and the Apostles were devoted because what they would lose to follow Jesus did not compare with what they had gained.

For the next 5 episodes we are joined by pastor, author, teacher, podcaster, and newly appointed Bishop of the Global Methodist Church, Dr. Carolyn Moore. In this first episode we learn about her early walk with God, when she first heard the calling to preach, and what she is passionate about now.

Debbie McDaniel is a writer, pastor's wife, and mom. She knows something of how fear can derail a person's entire life. You see, Debbie wrestled with fear and anxiety for years. And her recovery didn't happen overnight, but she did come to think about it all in a different way. She turned to the Lord, and He showed her practical things she could do to alleviate her fear. Now, for one thing, she began to notice something. When she thought about her fear and she studied her own patterns related to being anxious, she realized that the majority of her fears didn't actually happen. And this is where a journal can come in really handy. By keeping a log of your fears, and then after a certain period of time, say a month later, check back and see how many of those fears actually manifest themselves. And you'll probably be shocked at how low the percentage really is.Next, Debbie said that she began to read words of life, as she says, “Soaking them in over and over, praying them out loud.” And she makes the great point that there's power in the Bible's words because it is God's Word. Isaiah 35:4 says, “Tell everyone who is discouraged, ‘Be strong and don't be afraid! God is coming to your rescue, coming to punish your enemies.'” Debbie also advocates what she calls guarding your heart. And this involves a daily concentrating power that reminds you of truth, even in the midst of confusion.Again, this is where reading words of life is so critical. In this way, you're making the peace in your own heart a top priority. And it's okay to say that to yourself—as many times a day as you need. With just these few things, overcoming fear is within your reach. Let's pray. Father God, how powerful your promises are to us. Your words of life bring harmony. Help us to be on the lookout for friends and family who are struggling so that we can remind them of the times you've delivered us from fear and anxiety. Help us to make guarding our own hearts a priority. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
