The Race of Faith

In this message Dr. Mikael Stenhammar challenges you to reorient your life with a future-looking perspective, guided by the biblical story. Starting with a call to seek God's kingdom first, the sermon delves into how our affections shape our character and actions. There is a battle for our hearts, but the promise of resurrection and a new heaven and new earth empowers us to live lives of self-giving service and enduring suffering. Through examples like Paul, Moses, and the early church, we are reminded that the true treasures are still future in God's new world, not the fleeting pleasures of this world. By embracing a faith that looks forward, we remain open to divine surprises and the work of the Holy Spirit, who is a foretaste of the future kingdom.

In this podcast we dive into the biblical understanding of spiritual authority and the dynamics of apostolic power. While discussions around spiritual fathers and submission are prevalent, we often overlook the true essence of how power and authority function within the Kingdom of God. In our exploration, we’ll see Jesus as the ultimate model, but we’ll also spotlight figures like Barnabas—an embodiment of self-giving love and risk-taking. Together, we’ll examine the apostolic mission through the lens of Acts, highlighting how Barnabas supported Saul’s transformation into Paul, and how this reflects God's intended stewardship of power. Join us as we unpack these themes and discover what it truly means to empower others within the body of Christ, fostering flourishing in both spiritual and relational dimensions. Let’s embark on this journey to start reimagining authority in a Kingdom context. Please subscribe to my channel.
