Word of God - Luke 15:11 - 32 The Parable of the Lost son: Coming home

Plains Media

Two ways to be lost: Younger brother: run away from God through rebellion or stay close to God while harboring anger, bitterness, unforgiveness and a cold self-righteous heart. (older brother) Grace cannot be earned. Both sons misunderstood the father's heart. Real repentance isn't feeling guilty or trying to work off a debt. It is a change of heart, direction, turning away from sin and back to God

Episode 175 - Acts 14 - Resisting the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:8-8:3)

Manawatu Peoples Radio

Pastor Dafydd Hughes turns to Stephen’s defence before the Sanhedrin in Acts 7. The sermon explores who resists God’s Spirit, why people do so, and the consequences of pride, jealousy, ignorance, rebellion, and self-righteousness. Through Stephen’s courageous witness, martyrdom, and prayer for his persecutors, we see a powerful reflection of Christ’s compassion—and how persecution ultimately helps spread the gospel throughout Judea and Samaria. A direct and challenging message calling listeners to respond to Jesus Christ with repentance, faith, and obedience. A radio show/podcast from Crosspoint Church produced by Manawatū People's Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
