Devoted to Jesus (Jeremy Springer)

from Arise Birmingham · host Arise Birmingham

SummaryThis message launches the Devoted series by calling the church to a life of wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Looking at the journey of Peter, we discover that devotion doesn’t begin with perfection but with a simple “yes” to Jesus. Through Peter’s calling, his failure under pressure, his restoration by Jesus, and his transformation into a bold witness, we see that devotion is formed in the presence of Christ. The message invites listeners to return to Jesus wherever their fire has grown dim, reminding us that failure is not the end of devotion, distance is. Jesus restores us not just to forgive us, but to form us into who we were always called to be.TakeawaysDevotion starts with a yes, not a resumePressure doesn’t create weakness, it reveals it.Jesus restores rather than disqualifiesPrivate formation with Jesus fuels public faithfulnessFailure isn’t the end of devotion—distance isChapters00:00 Introduction to Devotion03:00 The Definition of Devotion06:11 Peter's Journey of Devotion08:54 The Call to Devotion11:52 The Importance of Restoration15:01 The Role of Pressure in Devotion17:59 Being with Jesus vs. Speaking for Jesus21:05 Responding to Jesus' Call23:55 Closing Prayer and Reflection ResourcesActs 2:42Luke 5:1-11Luke 22:54-62John 21:1-19Matthew 16:18

Beyond the Walls Arise Church Beyond the Walls is a podcast based on the conversations beyond a Sunday morning at Arise Church. We will be diving deeper into topics, talking with special guests, and enjoying a whole lot of coffee and Jesus. Ahsan Hanif Muslim Central Shaykh Ahsan Hanif, PhD, is the Head of our Quran and Hadith Sciences Department. Surprising to our students, Shaykh Ahsan is actually among our youngest instructors; his calm demeanour, mature attitude, and advanced knowledge causes us to assume otherwise.Born and bred in Birmingham, UK, he is well known in his community as the young Qari who memorised the Qur’an at the tender age of 13 and who delivered regular halaqat in Birmingham.In the year 2000, he gained a scholarship to enter the Islamic University of Madinah. After completing his Arabic diploma, he graduated from the Faculty of Shari’ah in 2006 with honours. He obtained ijazah in the Qur’an as well as studied under a number of well known scholars, such as Sh. Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad and Sh. Muhammad ibn Muhammad Mukhtar al-Shinqiti. Shaykh Ahsan also recently completed his PhD in Islamic Law from the University of Birmingham. Didaché Justin Peters Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will d Jumu'ah Khutbahs (Friday Sermons) Green Lane Masjid A selection of Jumu'ah Khutbahs delivered at Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre, Birmingham, UK.
