Introduction:

Welcome to Christ Talk Canada, the podcast where we dive deep into the Word of God and discuss what it means to follow Jesus in our daily lives. I'm your host, Pastor Michael, and today we're going to be discussing a topic that is near and dear to my heart: What Is Your Verdict Your Honor? GUILTY!

It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, focusing on our own desires and priorities instead of God's will for our lives. But as Christians, we are called to be different. We are called to be servants, putting the needs of others before our own and using our gifts and talents to further God's kingdom.

In this episode, we're going to explore what the Bible says about serving and giving an account as Christians. We'll look at examples from Scripture and discuss how we can apply these lessons to our own lives.

So, whether you're a seasoned Christian or just starting out on your faith journey, I encourage you to tune in and join the conversation. Let's dive into God's Word together and discover what it means to truly follow Jesus.

Podcast Message:

Have you ever considered what your verdict would be if you were on trial? What would be the evidence presented against you, and what kind of defense would you offer? These questions may seem daunting, but the truth is, as Christians, we are already on trial. We are constantly being evaluated by the world around us, and by God Himself.

In the book of Romans, chapter 8, verse 1, it says: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." This verse reminds us that if we are in Christ, we are not condemned. However, it also implies that if we are not in Christ, we are under condemnation.

So the question we must ask ourselves is this: are we walking according to the flesh, or according to the Spirit? Are we living for ourselves, or for God? Are we living a life that reflects the love and grace of Jesus Christ, or are we living a life that is characterized by selfishness and sin?

We know that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ one day, and give an account for our lives. In 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 10, it says: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

So my brothers and sisters, let us take stock of our lives and consider our verdict. Let us live our lives in a way that is pleasing to God, seeking to honor Him in all that we do. And let us remember that we do not have to face this trial alone. We have an advocate in Jesus Christ, who intercedes for us before the Father.

As we consider our verdict, we must also remember that it is not based on our own efforts or good deeds. In Ephesians chapter 2, verses 8 and 9, it says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Our salvation is a gift from God, given to us through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not something we can earn or deserve. But even though we are saved by grace, we are still called to live a life that reflects the love and mercy of God.

In Matthew chapter 5, verse 16, it says: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in this world, to show others the love and grace of God through our actions and our words.

So let us live our lives in a way that reflects the goodness of God, and let us share His love with those around us. Let us be known as people who love God and love others, and who are faithful to His call on our lives.

Introduction:

Welcome to Christ Talk Canada, I’m your host Pastor Michael. As most of you know this podcast is meant to teach believers how to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. We dive deeply into Christian Topics of the Bible and how they relate to our daily lives. Today, we are discussing the important question of who called you to ministry. This is a question that every Christian who is involved in ministry must ask themselves, and it is one that we will be exploring through the lens of the Bible.

Message:

First, let's look at the importance of this question. The calling to ministry is not something that should be taken lightly. It is a serious responsibility that requires dedication, commitment, and a deep love for God and His people. Without a clear understanding of who called us to ministry, we risk losing sight of our purpose and becoming ineffective in our service to God.

So, who does the Bible say called us to ministry? Let's start by looking at 1 Corinthians 1:1-3:

"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Introduction:

Good day, and welcome to today's discussion on "False Prophets." False prophets are a topic that has been present since the early days of Christianity. The Bible warns against false prophets, describing them as wolves in sheep's clothing. Today, we will explore what the Bible has to say about false prophets and how we can identify them.

Podcast Message:

Definition of False Prophets: A false prophet is someone who claims to speak for God but does not speak according to His Word. The Bible warns us repeatedly about false prophets and their dangerous teachings. Jesus Himself warned us in Matthew 7:15-16: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits."

Examples of False Prophets in the Bible: Throughout the Bible, we see numerous examples of false prophets. In the Old Testament, we see the likes of Balaam and Hananiah, who prophesied falsely and led people astray. In the New Testament, we see the Pharisees and Sadducees, who claimed to be religious leaders but were hypocrites and opposed Jesus' teachings.

Characteristics of False Prophets: False prophets are not always easy to identify, but the Bible gives us some characteristics to look out for. They often claim to have a special revelation from God, perform signs and wonders, and lead people away from the truth of God's Word. False prophets are often motivated by personal gain, money, and fame.

Why it's Important to Identify False Prophets: Identifying false prophets is crucial because their teachings can lead people astray and away from the truth of God's Word. False teachings can be dangerous, causing people to believe in a false gospel and leading them away from salvation. The Bible warns us that false prophets will increase in number as we approach the end times

As Christians, we are called to discern the truth from falsehood, especially in matters of faith. False prophets have been a problem in every era, and it is crucial that we understand how to identify them and protect ourselves from their deceptions. Today, we will explore what the Bible has to say about false prophets and how we can apply these teachings in our lives.
