The Christian Podcast Community

Faithfulness to Christ isn’t measured by how well we begin the race, but by how steadfastly we finish it. The Christian life is a lifelong journey of perseverance, trusting the Lord through seasons of joy, suffering, victory, and trial. Our hope is not found in temporary circumstances, but in the promise that the One who called us is faithful and will sustain His people to the very end.
In Episode 36 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series, we conclude the Exile sub-series by exploring the biblical call to endure with unwavering faith. In a world that constantly urges believers to compromise or give up, Christ calls us to remain steadfast until the day we see Him face to face. Join us as we consider what it truly means to sanctify Christ as Lord… not just for a season, but until the end.

Jesus calls out the scribes for being hypocrites. Then He points out how our heart should be as He notices the widow give from her poverty.

Being Strong In The Lord - How To Be Victorious - Ephesians 6:10-12

Pastor Tony Costa joins host Phil Sessa to engage in a profound discourse regarding Eastern Orthodoxy, a tradition that asserts its identity as the one holy, catholic, and apostolic church established by Jesus Christ. Throughout our conversation, we delve into the historical roots and theological distinctions that set Eastern Orthodoxy apart from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, particularly examining its rejection of papal authority and its adherence to ancient liturgical practices. We explore the implications of these beliefs on concepts such as salvation, original sin, and the veneration of icons. As we unpack these critical topics, we aim to encourage listeners to think critically about their faith and the tenets of various Christian traditions. Join us as we navigate this complex theological landscape and strive to understand the essence of Eastern Orthodoxy in the context of biblical Christianity.
