495: The Classic Overplay // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 87 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-seventh installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he rewinds the clock to December 7th of 1941 — of which President Roosevelt famously stated to be “a day that will live in infamy.” Something both terrible and extraordinary happened that day. As grievous as the disaster was in and through the bombing of Pearl Harbor, it was also the wake-up call that the United States needed to rise up and behave as a the noble nation we were commissioned by God to be. And this same pattern can be seen throughout the history of both men and nations — it’s a necessary awakening that occurs through the overreaching of evil.  

Speaker: Nathan Johnson
Series: Ephesians Bible Study
Study: 58 – Three Pictures of Our New Reality in Jesus (Ephesians 2:19-22)

In Christ Jesus we experience a brand new reality. And in order to describe this incredible life, Paul gives three pictures to enunciate the depth and profundity of Christianity: citizens, family, a building. In this expositional message, Nathan Johnson explores Ephesians 2:19-22 and describes what it means to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God, a part of God’s family, and an essential part of the building that houses the presence of God Almighty.

492: The Mindset of Victory // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 86 (Eric Ludy)

 

This is the eighty-sixth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he rewinds the clock to May of 1940 and reminds us that the amazing victory over Hitler in Europe gained in 1945 seemed completely impossible only five years earlier when the British Expeditionary Forces were backed up to the sea in Dunkirk. Often, we as the Church will be backed up into an impossible situation. But in that impossible hour, if we humble ourselves, pray and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways — God will pull off a miracle.

Following the 2020 Presidential elections, an evil foreboding is attempting to undermine the soul-stability of believers across this country. The question that is pressing itself with unrelenting force into the Christian’s psyche is, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” This sermon is a fresh reminder that not only do we as believers have an answer to that question, but we have a victory dance to go with it.

During Ellerslie’s Man Talk Conference, Nathan gave an overview of the first ten studies in the Christian Mindset series. If you want to gain an overview of what Paul says in Philippians 4:4-7, this is a great way to catch up as we enter into the “whatevers” of Philippians 4:8.

In this important message, Dan McConnaughey reminds us that we need to not only start well in the Christian life, but even more so, finish the Christian life well. We aren’t called to fall to pieces before reaching the finish line, rather we are to sprint full-speed triumphantly across it.

 

Many times we balk against circumstances that seemingly chain us where we don’t want to be. In this episode, Sarah Guthrie unpacks perspective from Philippians 1:19–21, a portion of Scripture in which the Apostle Paul was imprisoned, but displayed an undaunted faith that God would be glorified in and through the situation — whether by life or by death. Discover how to grow in faith amidst uncertainty or undesirable circumstances and cultivate an eternal focus that is fixed on Jesus.

In this new episode, Leslie Ludy reminds us that we must be fortified and find our strength, protection, and refuge in the Lord Jesus Christ. In a fearful world, Christians are called to stand fearless. Find out how in this powerful and stirring message.

What if the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would actually guard and protect our inner lives? In this expositional message, Nathan Johnson examines Philippians 4:7 and how everything in our lives should press us unto Jesus Christ and as a result, we experience the incredible peace of God – regardless of circumstance or problem.
