Can we trust Christ with everything we love most? In John and Betty Stam, we see hearts wholly surrendered to Jesus, letting go of “little trinkets” for God’s treasures, learning to depend on Him for daily needs, and choosing obedience over comfort. Sent to China, they loved even their enemies, faced captivity with peace, and confessed, “May God be glorified whether by life or by death.” Beheaded in 1934, they still bore witness that to die is gain (Phil. 1:21), and their sacrifice became a seed that stirred many to missions and reminded us that the Great Commission was never meant to be easy, only worth it in Christ.

In William Borden’s short, bright life we see Christ’s call to lay up treasures in heaven: though wealthy, admired, and full of opportunity, he chose surrender, loved the overlooked, poured himself into gospel work, and gave generously for missions. Setting his heart on reaching the unreached, he left comfort for Egypt to prepare for ministry to Muslims in China. Though he died at the age of 25 his legacy still preaches that a life yielded to Christ is never wasted.

Can we trust Him day by day when His purposes are hidden in pain? We reflect on the life of Karolina Sandell-Berg as a living expression of Jesus’ call in Matthew 5:48 to grow into spiritual maturity. Through frailty, suffering, and the sudden loss of her beloved father, Karolina turned to Christ rather than away from Him, allowing trials to deepen her trust in God’s wise and loving care. From bitter waters, God brought sweet songs—most notably Day by Day—reminding us that the Lord uses hardship to perfect our faith, shaping us through suffering to rest in His promises until we stand with Christ at last.

Eric Liddell’s life answers this question and many more with quiet strength and unwavering faith. Known for refusing to run on a Sunday at the 1924 Olympics, Eric honored God’s law above worldly praise, trusting Christ by his obedience. His gold medal in the 400m became a testimony to God’s faithfulness. But Eric’s race didn’t end on the track—he gave his life as a missionary in China, serving others with humility and joy until his final breath. His last words, “It’s full surrender,” remind us that true greatness is found in yielding wholly to Jesus. Let us run our race likewise—looking unto Him (Hebrews 12:1–2).

Despite sickness, loss, and rejection, Brainerd chose hardship over ease, taking the gospel to unreached Native American tribes. Through deep prayer and dependence on Christ, he witnessed powerful revival and lasting fruit. His legacy, preserved in his journals, has inspired generations. Like Brainerd, may we follow Christ with our whole hearts and pray to be used beyond what we are.

In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ’s commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.

Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation?
As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we’ve received. The Great Commission is not the end—it’s a beginning. Jesus calls us to treasure His commands, not only in our study and meditation, but in our obedience and our sharing (Matthew 28:18–20). We’ve discovered that these 51 commands are not mere rules but revelations of Christ’s character, windows into His heart, and pathways into deeper relationship with Him. From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.

From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.

]]> Make Disciples Pt.4 | Commands of Christ Podcast | Ep. 205 Nate Paine, Gabe Cleator 00:22:05 Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation? As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we’ve received.

In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ’s commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.

Have we embraced Christ’s call not only to follow Him, but to help others do the same? Are we treasuring His commands in such a way that our lives overflow with the desire and ability to make disciples?

As we reflect on the journey through the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the climactic call to make disciples—a commission that encapsulates all we've learned and lived out. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this command is not just about going, but about going with the authority of Christ, filled with His Spirit, and teaching others to observe—to treasure and guard—everything He has commanded. Discipleship is the natural fruit of our own walk with Jesus; we cannot lead others where we ourselves have not gone. As disciplined followers who abide in His Word, we are called to multiply that life in others, knowing we do not go alone—He is with us always. In a world often content with conversion, Christ calls us to spiritual maturity—to shape lives that are rooted, trained, and transformed. His commands, covering every area of life, are His heart expressed, and to teach them is to lead others into deeper fellowship with Him. Let us walk worthy of this calling, empowered by His presence, faithful in His Word, and committed to the mission: making disciples of all nations.

Are we actively living out the Great Commission in our own lives? What does it truly look like to treasure Christ’s commands and help others do the same?

As we reflect on these four years of immersing ourselves in the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the crescendo: making disciples. This command, rooted in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), is not merely a call to evangelize, but a lifelong invitation to teach others to observe—to guard, treasure, and live out—all that Christ has commanded. Discipleship is not about producing spiritual converts alone, but nurturing disciplined followers of Jesus, shaped by His Word and empowered by His presence. We are reminded that the authority to go comes not from ourselves, but from the risen Christ who sends and stays with us. True discipleship begins in the quiet places of worship, overflows from a heart that treasures His Word, and is sustained by the power of His Spirit. As we go, we do not go alone—we go with the King, bearing His heart to the nations. May we live in obedience to His call, becoming disciples who make disciples, for His glory and by His grace.

The Great Commission is not just a call to proclaim salvation, but an invitation to walk with others as they grow in their relationship with Jesus. We are reminded that discipleship is more than teaching facts; it is guiding others to observe—to treasure, guard, and live out—the commands of Christ (Matthew 28:18–20). We do this not in our own strength but under His authority and in the power of His presence, promised to be with us always. True discipleship begins in the quiet place of worship, flows from hearts that are first surrendered, and continues as we share with others what we ourselves have received. Like disciplined athletes pressing toward a heavenly prize (1 Cor. 9:25), we are called to pursue Christ, to be shaped by His Word, and to multiply that life in others. Making disciples isn’t a burden but a joy, an overflow of love for Jesus and for His people. Let us go with confidence—not in ourselves, but in the One who calls and empowers, who is always with us, even to the end of the age.

In this four-part series on the command to receive God’s power, we explore Jesus’ call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.

Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily?

As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us. Jesus' words in Luke 24:49, “Tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high,” remind us that we must first receive before we can obey. The Spirit of God is given at salvation, yet His filling is to be sought and received daily through surrender, humility, abiding in the Word, and prayer. We've seen that sin, pride, fear, worldliness, and even careless speech can grieve or quench the Spirit, hindering His work in us. But as we yield every part of our hearts—removing the “Private” signs on locked closets—the Spirit fills, sanctifies, convicts, comforts, guides, teaches, and glorifies Jesus through us. He is the very presence of God within us, the engine of our walk, and the power for our witness. Just as the early disciples turned the world upside down after receiving the Spirit, so too can our lives bear fruit when we are wholly surrendered to His leading. May we be a people marked by His power—not for show, but for the glory of Christ alone. And may this teaching not remain a concept but become our daily cry: “Lord, fill me afresh. I can't—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.” Amen.

In this four-part series on the command to receive God’s power, we explore Jesus’ call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.

Are we allowing anything—sin, pride, fear, or worldliness—to grieve or quench the Spirit of God in our lives? Have we invited the Holy Spirit not only to dwell in us but to fill us completely and lead us daily?

As we close this four-part series on receiving God's power, we are left with a profound and essential truth: the Christian life is not lived by our effort, strength, or resolve, but by the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering us.

In this four-part series on the command to receive God’s power, we explore Jesus’ call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49).

When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.

Are we daily depending on the Spirit of God, or are we still trying to live the Christian life in our own strength? Have we fully surrendered every area of our heart to the Lord, letting Him fill us completely?

In this rich and practical reflection on Luke 24:49, we come face to face with the essential truth that the Christian life cannot be lived apart from the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” invites us to a life of continual dependence, surrender, and intimacy with God. Receiving His power begins at salvation—when we are born of the Spirit—but it continues as a daily walk of being filled, sanctified, and led by Him. The Holy Spirit, both Holy and wholly consuming, moves into every area of our lives, cleansing, empowering, and conforming us into the likeness of Christ. We cannot overcome sin, bear fruit, or fulfill God’s commands by striving in our own ability; instead, we yield to His presence, abide in His Word, and walk in surrendered obedience. As we empty ourselves of self-sufficiency and acknowledge our deep need, the rivers of His Spirit rush in—bringing life, power, and fruitfulness. Christ is not just our example—He is our life. And when we truly grasp that He does the work in and through us, we find freedom, joy, and strength to walk out the life He’s called us to live. Let us stay in that place of dependence and surrender, continually receiving His power, that we may be vessels through which Christ is glorified.

As we continue meditating on Jesus’ command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), we see that the power of the Holy Spirit flows first from a right relationship with God—through being born again. This promise of the Father, long foretold by the prophets, is fulfilled through the finished work of Christ: His death, resurrection, ascension, and exaltation. From that place of completed redemption, Jesus now pours out His Spirit upon those who are His. We, like the disciples, are called to respond in simple, trusting obedience—to wait on the Lord, to gather in unity with His people, and to seek Him in prayer. Their obedience led to an outpouring of God’s presence and power that transformed them from fearful followers into bold proclaimers of the gospel, bearing fruit for the Kingdom. We are reminded that spiritual fruitfulness does not come from striving but from abiding—yielding ourselves to the Spirit’s filling, that Christ might live His life in and through us. As children of God, we are not only called to obedience but also empowered for it, through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us remain in Him, united in purpose, dependent in prayer, and confident in His power to do what we never could on our own.

As we come to the close of Jesus' earthly ministry, we are drawn to His clear command to His disciples: “Tarry... until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). This call to wait—to be still before going—reveals a cornerstone truth of the Christian life: we cannot live out the commands of Christ without the empowering of His Spirit. Jesus had shown them the way, given them the Word, but He knew they couldn’t walk in it unless He Himself lived it out through them. This promise of the Father—the indwelling and continual filling of the Holy Spirit—is the fulfillment of ancient prophecy and the foundation of every believer’s strength. As we receive His Spirit, He not only opens our eyes to the Scriptures (Luke 24:45), but also works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). We are reminded that apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5), but with Him, we are clothed with divine power—dunamis—the very breath and force of God, enabling us to live the life to which we’ve been called. Let us confess our utter need, wait on Him, and allow Christ to do in us what we could never do alone. “I can’t—but You never said I could. You can—and You always said You would.”

Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin’s power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.

In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer’s identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ’s power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ’s command to “Baptize My Disciples.”

]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0000 info@homediscipleship.com (Gabe Cleator, Nate Paine) https://www.homediscipleship.com What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin’s power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.

In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer’s identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ’s power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ’s command to “Baptize My Disciples.”

In this powerful episode, Andrew Brunson, a missionary to Turkey who spent two years in a Turkish prison for his faith in Christ shares his honest testimony and compels us to consider: Will we still follow Jesus when we cannot see His faithfulness or feel His presence? Through Andrew’s journey, we are reminded of Christ’s call in Matthew 5 to rejoice in persecution and of the enduring truth that love for God fuels faithful obedience. This conversation challenges us to cultivate a resilient faith, fix our eyes on eternity, and learn to stand firm in the dark.

A missionary and pastor, Andrew Brunson spent over 20 years planting churches in Turkey before being unjustly imprisoned for his faith in 2016. His gripping story of suffering, endurance, and spiritual wrestling—told in his biography God’s Hostage—has inspired believers worldwide. In prison, Andrew faced darkness, isolation, and deep spiritual crisis, yet emerged with a deeper love for Christ and a refined faith. Now serving as a voice to help prepare the Body of Christ for coming trials, Andrew’s message is a vital call to trust and obey—even in the most severe testing.

From Peter’s restoration on the Galilean shore to our daily walk in homes, churches, and workplaces, we are invited to dine with Christ so that we may nourish others. Rooted in His Word and led by His Spirit, our lives become streams of comfort, truth, and encouragement to a world of wandering sheep. Join Gabe and Nate as they explore Christ’s Command to, “Feed my sheep.”

What feeling does the word command evoke in you? Do you view commands as something hard, frustrating, and grievous? For many of us, God’s commands can make us feel frustrated and burdened because we view them as something we must do in our own effort. But did you know obedience to God’s commands is supposed to be a joy and even a liberty?

In today’s guest episode with Caleb Reed, your view of God Himself will be challenged as you see commands from a totally different perspective. God’s commands don’t flow from a desire to make us just behave and “stay in line.” His commands flow from a heart of love. God’s commandments are an invitation from our loving heavenly Father to go deeper into a relationship with Him. If we find that obedience is a burden and a chore, it doesn’t mean that the command is wrong. It simply means that our view of God is off and we don’t understand His heart of love in giving the command. When we see and understand His love for us, obedience will become a joy.

Caleb Reed is an evangelist who travels full time with his family preaching in churches, camps, and Christian schools. He and his wife Emma have 3 children. They have a burden specifically for the local church. They desire to come alongside local pastors and aid them in equipping the saints.

]]> Caleb Reed - God’s Commands: A Burden or a Joy? Caleb Reed, Gabe Cleator 00:36:49 What feeling does the word “command” evoke in you? Do you view commands as something hard, frustrating, and grievous?

How do we help without hurting? These are tricky questions and often we find ourselves being either cynical to people or gullible. While there is not a “formula” to this, there is a key: we need to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. God's heart is for the poor, and He wants us to have an ear that is turned toward the needs of people. But at the same time, we need to have an ear that is turned heavenward and listening to the Him and how He wants to meet the need.

Do you desire to have God’s heart for the needy in your life? Do you want to see people the way that He sees them? God is no respecter of persons - His heart is the same for all people! We need to recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the cross - the reality is that we are all poor and needy! When we see God’s heart of love for us, we are then able to be a channel of that love and kindness to others.

]]> Bring In the Poor - Pt. 2 Gabe Cleator, Nate Paine 00:20:58 Do you ever find yourself having an attitude of superiority toward those who you perceive to be “less than” you? In order to approach those in need around us with the right attitude we need to realize that we were (and still are) “the poor.” We need to see that God Himself “brought in the poor” - that He saw our need and had compassion on us. When we see ourselves as needy and dependent on the Lord, we will then have an attitude of compassion and empathy toward others.

As we dig into the context of this new command, we will see that Jesus cuts right to the heart and exposes this pride in all of us. God’s desire is that we would humble ourselves before Him, that we would be willing to take the “low place” before people, and that we would be content to live for His smile alone. 

Do you desire to have God’s heart for the needy in your life? Do you want to see people the way that He sees them? God is no respecter of persons - His heart is the same for all people! We need to recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the cross - the reality is that we are all poor and needy! When we see God’s heart of love for us, we are then able to be a channel of that love and kindness to others.

But why do we find it so hard to continue in prayer without giving up? The answer comes down to our focus - are we focused on our fears and doubts or are we focused on God and His Word? Join Nate and Gabe as they share how the heart that is intentionally gazing on the Faithful One, is the one who will be able to persevere in prayer until they see breakthrough. 

Faith is not something God expects us to muster up on our own. In fact, true faith doesn’t come from us at all! It is precious to realize that faith is something God forms in us as we focus on Him, cultivating intimacy with Him through prayer and His Word. Do you want to increase in faith?

As we give ourselves wholly to the Lord and allow Him to deal with anything that would hinder us, we will begin to live and operate as houses of prayer!

God’s heart is that every believer becomes the place where His presence can dwell and flow through - a house of prayer! This starts first by cultivating a personal relationship with Jesus in which the Holy Spirit has unhindered control. Secondly, we then join other believers to make up a corporate place of prayer that God’s Spirit can flow through and His will be accomplished. When the hearts and minds of God’s people are joined together in prayer, God is unlimited at what He can accomplish in and through them!

The purpose of the temple was to be a place of fellowship and communion with God. Jesus came in and cleansed out the things that were in competition with that! He eliminated the competition for the purpose of communion with God. He desires to cleanse out the competition in our individual lives as well. He wants to rid us of the things that distract us so that we can experience unhindered fellowship with Him.

God’s heart is that every believer becomes the place where His presence can dwell and flow through - a house of prayer! This starts first by cultivating a personal relationship with Jesus in which the Holy Spirit has unhindered control. Secondly, we then join other believers to make up a corporate place of prayer that God’s Spirit can flow through and His will be accomplished. When the hearts and minds of God’s people are joined together in prayer, God is unlimited at what He can accomplish in and through them!

Not only did He humble Himself to take on humanity, but He went beyond that and “took upon Him the form of a servant” (Phil. 2:7). In this episode, Nate and Gabe exhort us to behold Jesus’ servanthood. As we deeply ponder this aspect of our Lord, may our hearts be moved to give ourselves to Him in service. 

As we dig into the Command of Christ to “Be a Servant”, it is key that we don’t look to ourselves to fulfill it. When we try to serve in our own strength and ability we end up burnt out and worn out. But as we rely on Christ, as we take the gaze of our souls off ourselves and we place it on Him, we will experience His divine enablement to serve in a way we never could on our own.

It was a question asked by a Christian co-worker when he saw Spike reading a new-age book during a lunch break. This launched a series of conversations between the atheist and creationist that ultimately led Spike to acknowledge that his evolutionary beliefs couldn’t be true. Listen as Spike shares how the evidence for creation led him to put his faith in the Creator.

Spike Psarris is a former engineer in the U.S. military space program. He entered that role as an atheist and evolutionist; he left it as a creationist and a Christian. He now speaks and writes on science and Biblical creation, with an emphasis on astronomy and cosmology, and has produced a three-volume video series entitled “What You Aren’t Being Told about Astronomy.”

This launched a series of conversations between the atheist and creationist that ultimately led Spike to acknowledge that his evolutionary beliefs couldn’t be true. Listen as Spike shares how the evidence for creation led him to put his faith in the Creator.

Spike Psarris is a former engineer in the U.S. military space program. He entered that role as an atheist and evolutionist; he left it as a creationist and a Christian. He now speaks and writes on science and Biblical creation, with an emphasis on astronomy and cosmology, and has produced a three-volume video series entitled “What You Aren’t Being Told about Astronomy.”

We can be discouraged and wonder, “did I actually forgive them?” It is important to realize that just as we need to come to the initial choice to forgive, we also must learn to walk out the “journey” of forgiveness. A key in this journey is learning that forgiveness is not an emotion; it is an act of the will. As we choose to forgive, to bless, and to release our offenders, our feelings will follow.

Our natural, human response to hurt is to get bitter. Bitterness always brings bondage. But praise God, He has made a way for us to walk free from bitterness! No matter how deep the hurt, God’s love is deeper. God desires to enable us, through Christ, to do what we could never do on our own - to forgive, to release, and to bless our offenders.

In Scripture we read that a man was forgiven such a debt, but turned around and refused to forgive someone else a debt of a mere fraction of his own! Listen as Nate and Gabe share a key in learning to forgive others — namely, that we first need to recognize and value how much we have been forgiven.

Our natural, human response to hurt is to get bitter. Bitterness always brings bondage. But praise God, He has made a way for us to walk free from bitterness! No matter how deep the hurt, God’s love is deeper. God desires to enable us, through Christ, to do what we could never do on our own — to forgive, to release, and to bless our offenders. Forgiveness equals freedom!

Are we setting our affection on temporal things? Are we cultivating desires for things that are outside the bounds of what God has for us? Listen as Nate and Gabe give examples from Scripture of those whose lives were devastated by the root of covetousness.

Whether it's advertisements coming from billboards, social media, or the inbox, there is so much pressure from our culture telling us that we need more stuff. The hidden message is that our identity and fulfillment come through our possessions and our social status. It’s time for Christians to draw a line in the sand and resist the pressures of our day! We need to drop anchor on the fact that our identity and contentment come from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If we have Christ, we truly have enough.

It is helpful to see our offender as God’s agent for developing the character of Jesus in us. Instead of just reacting to conflict and offense from our human perspective, what if we asked God for His perspective? God is able to use even the conflict we experience among believers to form Christ in both the offended and the offender!

Imagine the change we would see if we, as the Body of Christ, had a heart for restoration toward offenders! Imagine if, instead of reacting to offenders in bitterness or pride, we allowed God to give us a heart of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation. As believers, we need to walk in the awareness that we have been forgiven so much! As our eyes are opened to God’s love and forgiveness in “going to His offenders”, we will gain His heart to restore our offenders as well.

Are you going to others who are not part of the problem or solution? When we are offended we need to go to the Lord first and allow Him to search our heart. As we take the situation to Him, He is then able to give us His heart and His forgiveness toward our offender. What hinders us from going to offenders? Are you harboring bitterness?

So often we approach an offender with our motive being vindication - we go in anger and pride and with a desire to expose them. However it is key that we approach a straying brother with the heart God has for them. If we go with an attitude of humility, love and a desire to restore, it has the potential to open their heart in a way that it wouldn’t have otherwise.

Imagine the change we would see if we, as the Body of Christ, had a heart for restoration toward offenders! Imagine if, instead of reacting to offenders in bitterness or pride, we allowed God to give us a heart of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation. As believers, we need to walk in the awareness that we have been forgiven so much! As our eyes are opened to God’s love and forgiveness in “going to His offenders”, we will gain His heart to restore our offenders as well.

It is paramount to our Christian life that we learn to bring our behavior in line with who we are in Christ. In this episode, Nate and Gabe share that this mentality is a key in learning to walk out the command to Deny Yourself. Denying self is just learning to walk out the reality of who we are in Christ. life of jesus, surrendered to the lord, commands of christ, surrendering to god, growing in christ, god's law, christian growth, commandment, law of god, christian life, take up your cross, knowing god through his word, jesus commands, following god, christ, living for jesus, deny yourself, freedom through jesus christ, identity as a believer, considering christ, not self-punishment, follow christ's commands, discipleship, follow me, death to self false full 116 1 97c3d8a8-2793-4147-879e-0868b5125202 Deny Yourself - Part 2 What does it mean to deny yourself? And what does it look like to deny yourself daily? Listen as Nate and Gabe discuss the freedom that comes when we forget ourselves and our own interests and begin to live for the Lord’s purposes. At the core of this command to “Deny Yourself” is that we learn to say “no” to ourselves and “yes” to Jesus every time.

Simply put, to deny self is to look away from self and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. We were made for Him. Our lives don’t work when we live for ourselves. This command is an invitation to turn away from self and all the things that distract us, and enter into the life God made us to live.

One of the Greek words used in Scripture for the word know is “ginosko.” The meaning is deep and beautiful and refers to something beyond just knowing information — it is an experiential knowing, a knowing that changes us. In this episode, Nathan Johnson testifies to the fact that your Christian life will change dramatically once you grasp the difference between the informational knowing about God and experiential knowing of God.

We are delighted to have guest Nathan Johnson join us on the Commands of Christ podcast! Nathan is a writer, teacher, and communicator with an overwhelming passion for Jesus Christ. Along with teaching at the Ellerslie School of Discipleship in Colorado, he seeks to encourage Christians of all ages through his ministry called deeperChristian.

As we humble ourselves under His Word, He will replace the leaven with His truth.

Do you care more about looking good on the outside than you do about having a heart that is without compromise before God? This is called hypocrisy and it is something Jesus took very seriously.

If we really want to honor our parents, we need to walk in forgiveness toward them. This episode is packed with encouraging truth! Listen as Nate and Gabe give encouragement on how God desires to free us from bitterness toward our parents and enable us to honor them even in difficult situations.

In a day where it is culturally acceptable to dishonor parents and those in authority, it is so important for us to be reminded of the command to “Honor Your Parents.” Sadly this attitude of dishonor is something that has been disregarded and excused even by Christians. The honoring of those over us is something very close to the heart of God. As you listen, be exhorted to turn your ear away from what is culturally “normal” and give weight to what the Word of God says about this area.

Listen as Nate and Gabe give encouragement on how God desires to free us from bitterness toward our parents and enable us to honor them even in difficult situations. life of jesus, honoring your parents, blessing, commands of christ, despise not, growing in christ, god's law, authority, christian growth, commandment, law of god, christian life, knowing god through his word, jesus commands, following god, honor, christ, freedom through jesus christ, honor authority, love, living a long life, follow christ's commands, discipleship, honor thy father and mother false full 109 1 4cd0f5ee-d7eb-4bc1-83d5-70f1e3ad7aaa Honor Your Parents - Part 3 It is important to  see that not only does Scripture address those under authority - it also addresses those in authority. Being in a position of authority is a weighty responsibility. Parents are accountable before God for how they lead their children. Listen as Nate and Gabe discuss how one of the greatest ways to encourage your children to honor you is by living and walking in an honoring way.

In a day where it is culturally acceptable to dishonor parents and those in authority, it is so important for us to be reminded of the command to “Honor Your Parents.” Sadly this attitude of dishonor is something that has been disregarded and excused even by Christians. The honoring of those over us is something very close to the heart of God. As you listen, be exhorted to turn your ear away from what is culturally “normal” and give weight to what the Word of God says about this area.

In order to hear from Him, we will have to turn aside from other things - entertainment, music, activities, busyness, etc. But let us be encouraged to know that as we spend time in His Word, as we make seeking Him a priority, He will give us listening hearts - He will give us “ears to hear” His voice.

But what hinders us from hearing God’s voice? Join Nate and Gabe as they share key hindrances that block our ability to hear from God. We may feel like God doesn’t speak to us, however often the problem is that we cannot hear Him because we are listening to something else.

One of the biggest things that will motivate us to turn aside from the busy things of life in order to hear God’s voice is the realization that God wants to speak to us! In order to hear from Him, we will have to turn aside from other things - entertainment, music, activities, busyness, etc. But let us be encouraged to know that as we spend time in His Word, as we make seeking Him a priority, He will give us listening hearts - He will give us “ears to hear” His voice.

All this was the backdrop for young Bob Fu’s life, and became the means that led him to open his heart to the living God whose Word says that “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Upon coming to Christ, Bob Fu’s life only became more adventurous! As told in his book God’s Double Agent, he became a teacher in the communist schools by day and a leader in the underground church after hours. After he and his wife were thrown into prison for “illegal religious activity,” God miraculously made a way for them to escape China. His burden for his persecuted brothers in China led him to start ChinaAid — an organization that brings help and awareness to those who are being persecuted in China. Bob Fu is one of the leading voices in the world for persecuted faith communities in China.

The strength that these men demonstrated in the face of fear was because they kept the gaze of their soul on God and Him alone. If we as believers walk in the fear of the Lord, our lives will not only be free from compromise, but we will also embolden other believers to fear God and stand for the truth.

In a day of political correctness and pressure to conform, we need more than ever to be free from fear of man. But how? By fearing God! What we fear becomes our focus. It is our focus that determines the direction our life takes and the fruit it bears. If you see negative fruits of fear in your life, ask yourself this question, “What has my focus?” As we take the gaze of our soul and place it on Christ, we will experience freedom from the fear of man as well as the peace that comes from fearing God alone!

If you see negative fruits of fear in your life, ask yourself this question, “What has my focus?” As we take the gaze of our soul and place it on Christ, we will experience freedom from the fear of man as well as the peace that comes from fearing God alone!

From Gideon to Moses to Stephen to Paul, the Bible has countless illustrations of how this command can be applied, how it should impact our lives and the lives of those around us.

Throughout scripture, Jesus made it clear that He would send His followers into hostile environments - “as sheep among wolves.” The purpose of this is to further His Kingdom. But how is it possible for sheep to make a positive impact among wolves?! First we must walk in complete dependence on our Shepherd, Jesus Christ. The Shepherd is able to impart to us His  wisdom and peace just like it is demonstrated through the serpent and dove. Possessing these vital qualities is paramount to our effectiveness in displaying the love and tenderness of Jesus not only to the lost, but even to our persecutors!

The setting: the 1990’s post communist country of Russia. The country was filled with millions of people who had never heard the gospel; this would become Dean’s mission field!

It is a blessing to have Dean Kershner as a guest on the podcast. While many may know Dean for his gifted ability to impersonate historical heroes of faith, such as Vanya, he has also had the opportunity to invest in God’s Kingdom through ministry overseas. Dean’s international work began in Moscow, Russian in 1992 where he served for five years. In 2002, the Lord led Dean and his wife to begin working with Gospelink, a ministry that supports indigenous preachers financially, educationally, and practically.

In this episode Nate and Gabe exhort us to take time to allow God to share His heart of love and compassion for others with us. How is God stirring your heart? Has He given you a burden for a specific area? As He moves on your heart, pray!

Our natural response when we see needs is usually to summon our human energy and attempt to “do something” to meet the need. But we will see in this command that the first thing we are instructed to do is to “pray to the Lord of the harvest.” As we pray, the Lord is not only able to give us His heart and perspective, but our prayers also enable Him to move in people and circumstances in ways that we never could!

As He moves on your heart, pray! be salt and light, commands of christ, follow christ, growing in christ, missionary, god's law, christian growth, reaching the lost, law of god, christian life, lord of the harvest, jesus commands, following god, pray for laborers, freedom through jesus christ, mission field, be filled with god's word, laborers, discipleship, relationship with christ false full 89 1 b663bb5e-8a7c-4134-a49b-ccf6cfa8c365 Pray for Laborers - Part 3 One of the greatest things we can do for others is to pray for them. As Oswald Chambers said, “Prayer isn’t preparation for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.” In this encouraging episode, Nate and Gabe cover practical questions such as, “How do we pray for laborers?” And “What are we to pray for laborers?” Through prayer, we can actually play a huge role in the labors of other people!

.

Our natural response when we see needs is usually to summon our human energy and attempt to “do something” to meet the need. But we will see in this command that the first thing we are instructed to do is to “pray to the Lord of the harvest.” As we pray, the Lord is not only able to give us His heart and perspective, but our prayers also enable Him to move in people and circumstances in ways that we never could!

Do you ever overlook other people's needs or perspective? Do you tend to focus on others' faults and excuse your own shortcomings? In this convicting episode, Nate and Gabe will expose the great need for us to walk in humility and sensitivity. We need to daily ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate in us a sensitivity to the needs of other people.

There is no room for selfishness in the Christian life.  As we examine what we commonly refer to as “The Golden Rule”, may our hearts be stirred to see our selfish focus and shallow pursuits for what they are, and turn to Jesus. He has given Himself to us, and only by His life in us are we able to lay down ourselves to our Father’s will for the sake of others.

In this study on the command Do Unto Others, we will take a deeper look into the beautiful calling we have to be channels of His life to those around us.

There is no room for selfishness in the Christian life.  As we examine what we commonly refer to as “The Golden Rule”, may our hearts be stirred to see our selfish focus and shallow pursuits for what they are, and turn to Jesus. He has given Himself to us, and only by His life in us are we able to lay down ourselves to our Father’s will for the sake of others.

If these incredible promises are true (and they are), then they would beg the questions: Why are we not consistently asking? Why are we not faithfully seeking? Why are we not eagerly knocking? So often our asking, seeking and knocking are as big as our view of God.

God is a Father Who is good and does good. In commanding us to ask, seek and knock, He is not trying to dangle a carrot in front of us or make things complicated for us. It is actually an invitation to draw closer in our relationship and communion with Him. Will we respond to this invitation and pursue intimacy with Him?

This always leads to compromise. In this episode, Nate and Gabe highlight the importance of not watering down truth in order to make it appealing to the world. As Keith Daniels said, “You don’t win the world by becoming like the world. The world will win you - that’s all that will happen.”

A wonderful summation of this command can be found in the story of the prodigal son. There was a season of life where the son would’ve been characterized as “swine“ – he did not value the things of his father. It would have been a waste to try to reason with him. However his loving father waited patiently, and, at the right time, his son was ready to hear the truth and repent. May we be encouraged to pray for those in our lives who are resistant, and to look to the Lord for His perfect timing to share truth.

Listen as Nate and Gabe give encouragement on how to walk with an eternal focus and thus treasure what God values. 

In Matthew 6, Jesus commands us to give, pray, and fast in secret. Why in secret?

In this command we see a beautiful aspect of the heart of God - He desires to draw us into a relationship with Himself and to free us from the bondage that comes from living for the recognition of men.

One of the ways He does this is by increasing our level of training, one step at a time, to become more dependent upon Him. Irritations, hardships, and difficult people are “classrooms” God gives us. As we become more dependent on Him, we become channels of His life and His love to others, and we are seen as “children of our Father in heaven.”

However, loving an enemy is impossible…for us. If we surrender to the Lord, He is able to do the impossible in us. The love of God is the only love that is strong enough to love even our enemies.

What does love look like? What is love? A better question is, who is love? Love isn’t a thing we are to try to do. Love is a Person: Jesus Christ. When Jesus’ life fills us, His love fills us, and we become a channel of that to others.

Because they stayed (i.e., “went the second mile”), God was able to save the prison guard and his entire household! Going the second mile creates an opportunity for God to meet a need in the life of our enemies.

As you reflect on this command, it is key to understand that God desires to use us as channels to minister His life to our enemies. How amazing it is that as we lay our lives down to the Lord, He is able to replace our attitudes of selfishness and self-protection with the life of His Son! Only through Him is it possible to overcome evil with good.

This “discrepancy” is based on the wrong assumption that God did away with His Law when Christ came. Thus, we have the wrong and dangerous assumption that God has changed! Join Nate and Gabe as they talk about how the Old and New Testament are beautifully interwoven and both reveal the same thing – the nature of God and the person of Christ!

In a day and age where rules are subjective and there are no absolutes, the church needs more than ever to learn to “honor God’s Law.” As we treasure and value the Law of God, our eyes will be opened to the nature and character of God, and to the wonderful gift that He gave us in His Son.

In this, our display of joy in trials is how we can showcase Jesus's life to the world!

From our human perspective, suffering and persecution threaten our happiness and comfort. They don’t feel good. However, joy is not a feeling. Joy is a choice. In trials, we can choose to rejoice, despite our feelings. God longs to mature us so that instead of following our feelings, we follow Jesus, our mighty Savior Who endured trials with joy!

Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Ken’s family did not have a lot of money, but they were happy. This all began to change when Ken’s dad started to drink. Alcohol led to drugs and things began to spiral downward in his home. 

By age 17, Ken found his life heading toward disaster as he sought love and affirmation in all the wrong places. After a failed attempt to improve his life by changing locations, he finally came to the “end of his rope” and cried out to God. This desperate plea began a journey of learning to surrender and say “yes” to God no matter the circumstance. Join host Gabe Cleator and guest Ken Bevel as they walk through Ken’s story and what God has done in his life.

Ken Bevel is a graduate of the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering Technology and a graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School with a Master of Business Administration degree in Logistics Management. After 20 years of active service in the United States Marine Corps, including tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ken retired to serve in the ministry.

Just as a sheep will only follow one shepherd, so we as believers in Christ can only follow one Lord. It is easy to think we are following Jesus when, in reality, many other things compete with how we follow Him. These can include relationships, possessions, or even ministry. Following Jesus with all our hearts means that He is our central focus. In this, our supreme love for Him governs all other relationships and priorities.

As we follow Christ, we find that the key to reaching others for Him is being filled with Him! When we give God the right to guide, lead, and direct our lives, Christ’s life within us will bless and minister to those around us. The more Christ increases in our lives, the more we can invest in the lives of others for eternity. This is how we can walk as "fishers of men."

But what is the grace of God, and how does it function in our lives as believers? In this episode, Gabe Cleator and Eric Ludy dig deep into the vital topic of grace. Just as a diamond has many facets, the grace of God has many different aspects.

More than just a divine smile from heaven, grace is the mighty power of God in Christ working in us to will and to do His good pleasure. In short, when God gave us His grace, He gave us everything we need for life and godliness. In this episode, come marvel with us at the amazing grace of God!

Is it more vibrant now than when you first got saved, or has it grown cold? Join Nate and Gabe as they discuss how the goal of repentance is restoration of our relationship with the God of the Universe.

One way that we can lose our intimate relationship with God is by becoming too focused on our serving and losing focus on the God Whom we are serving. The Church of Ephesus in Revelation 2 had this exact problem. What was God’s message to them? Repent! 

In this passage, God called the church to repent and return to doing the “first work” — making their relationship with Him preeminent over all other things in their lives. As we see in this passage, there are tragic consequences for missing this as a priority.

In relationships, we are either growing closer or we are drifting further away — there is no in-between. So where is your relationship with God—are you pursuing Him?

]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:15:00 +0000 info@homediscipleship.com (Nate Paine, Gabe Cleator) https://www.homediscipleship.com How would you describe the vibrancy of your love for the Lord? Is it more vibrant now than when you first got saved, or has it grown cold? Join Nate and Gabe as they discuss how the goal of repentance is restoration of our relationship with the God of the Universe.

One way that we can lose our intimate relationship with God is by becoming too focused on our serving and losing focus on the God Whom we are serving. The Church of Ephesus in Revelation 2 had this exact problem. What was God’s message to them? Repent! 

In this passage, God called the church to repent and return to doing the “first work” — making their relationship with Him preeminent over all other things in their lives. As we see in this passage, there are tragic consequences for missing this as a priority.

In relationships, we are either growing closer or we are drifting further away — there is no in-between. So where is your relationship with God—are you pursuing Him?

Do you realize that the thoughts you think actually determine the destiny of your life? We may assume that our thoughts are harmless and don’t affect our lives much, but the exact opposite is true! Join Gabe and Nate as they talk about how our thoughts lead to the outcome of our lives.

Have you ever gotten into a “rut” of negative thinking? Are you struggling with detrimental habits that you can’t seem to break free from? The command to repent not only gives us the keys to walking in freedom from these things, but also gives us hope and purpose in the One who has set us free from these things!

The power of repentance does not lie within my ability to change my actions or in possessing an attitude of remorse. The secret lies within the power of the living Word of God to change me from the inside out. Genuine change begins when the Word of God is abiding within me, transforming the way I think and determining what is in my heart and ultimately what I will do!

Do you long to experience these desires? Listen as Gabe and Nate explain how the command of Christ to repent answers these crucial questions.

In the command repent, we see our desperate need for the Word of God to dwell preeminently in our minds and hearts. Why? Scripture tells us that God’s Word is living, powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, and has the ability to change and renew our minds and hearts (Heb. 4:12). When the Word of God does its work in our minds and hearts and minds, it gives us the desire to walk closer with Jesus every day.

In summary, the more we saturate our minds and hearts with God’s Word, the more God increases our desire to seek after Him. As Gabe says on this episode, “True change happens with God first changing our mind, and changing our heart. Then He changes our whole life as a result of that."

This may work for a time, but it always ends in defeat.

Sorrow or grief over sin is another aspect of repentance that we often focus on. When the Lord convicts us of sin in our lives, it is all too easy to fall into depression or discouragement while thinking that this is repentance. This can become a vicious circle of discouragement, depression, and defeat.

While repentance does lead to a change of behavior and involves sorrow over sin, Biblical repentance is much deeper than that. True repentance begins as we saturate our minds and hearts with the Word of God. This internal change is then worked out in a person’s life, resulting in a change of their actions. Jesus’ call to repentance is an invitation to exchange our mind for His!

Why is this so liberating? It’s liberating because God's calling for believers is not to produce fruit. His calling is that they bear fruit. It’s important to note that fruit is not a byproduct of self-effort; fruit is the outflow of the life of God Himself living and operating within us. To sum it up: producing fruit is God’s job, bearing fruit is the believer's job. 

Contrary to how it first seems, the believer does not need the fruits of the Spirit to be added to his life. Instead, he needs more of the Holy Spirit that bears that fruit. In summary, the Christian life isn’t about trying harder. It is about us recognizing our total inability to produce fruit and instead, embracing Christ’s ability through the power of His Spirit!

In reality, as we face hectic workweeks and busy weekends, how do we abide in Christ?

In this episode, we discuss how abiding in Christ is more than simply reading a chapter of Scripture and having a quick prayer time in the morning. It is maintaining a constant connection with Christ that revitalizes us and gives us purpose all day long. 

An important question we ask is, what hinders us from abiding in Christ? One thing that hinders us is our values. The progression of our values is powerful, because where we spend the most time is actually where we abide. And where we spend our time is ultimately what we love. 

Join us as we explore the command “Abide,” and find in it the strength to stand against Satan's temptations, and find fullness of joy as we abide in Christ.

In this episode, we discuss how the only way to experience an intimate relationship with God the way He intended, is by making Christ Himself our source of life. In our world today, there are so many competing things to do that can quickly become the most important thing to us. These things can crowd out our relationship with the Lord if we are not vigilant. This episode addresses the dangers of these competitions while emphasizing the only way to find true fulfillment in Jesus. 

Along the way, we’ll discover that God’s goal in pruning distractions out of our lives is not to make us better people. His goal is to replace us with His life. Is this a difficult or painful process? It can be. But it is filled with beauty and hope. When we allow God to take things out of our lives, He replaces those things with Someone, and His name is Jesus. Join us as we look at how God removes competition from our lives so He can live more fully in us — as we abide in Him.

Is your spiritual life dry and fruitless? In this episode, learn how abiding in Christ is all about receiving the life and work of Christ, so that He can live through us and our lives can be a reflection of Him.

The basic definition of the word “abide” means “to dwell.” Our dwelling place is not where our physical address is; our dwelling place is determined by what we treasure the most and where the deepest desires of our heart lie. God Himself desires to dwell preeminently in us, consuming our affections and producing His fruit of our lives.

In this podcast, we dive into what it means to “Abide” in Christ and how His Words must abide in us. We find that to live fruitful and abundant lives in Christ is not an issue of self improvement or greater personal resolve, it is simply a byproduct of treasuring the Word of God within our heart. It is as God’s Word and a personal relationship with Him become the single most important priority of our lives, that the fruit of our lives will express Christ Himself. Fundamentally, abiding in Christ is about receiving the life of Christ, the Vine, so that He can live through us.

Learning to abide in Christ is the cornerstone of understanding how we live out all the other commands. Obedience to the commands of Christ is not a work of our own. It is the natural outflow of Christ living and operating within us.

We invite you to listen with hope, because the commands of Christ go beyond being only a to-do list — they are an invitation to an intimate relationship with the God of the universe, and a pathway to true discipleship. 

In John 8:31, Jesus defines a true disciple as one who abides in His Word, meditating on it, and living it out in their lives. Jesus’ words are powerfully applicable today. We believe that His words are essential — they are our life! Join us on this journey through the commands of Christ!
