Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #282 Air Date: 12/31/2025 My Resolution for the New Year Web Description: The period from the ascension of Christ to the present has been labeled the Church Age. In reality it should be called the Age of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua (Jesus) did not tell His disciples, “The Father will teach you how to have good churches.” He promised that they would be endued with power by the Holy Spirit and be His witnesses in the earth. My New Year’s resolution is to change my emphasis from church to being filled with the Holy Spirit first and endued with...

Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #281 Title: Christmas, Celebrating the Son of Man Web Description: The symbolism that most often defines Christmas is the Nativity scene. And the Nativity scene is about the reality that Christ, the Messiah, the Savior, the King of kings, was born and lived as a human being. At Christmas we are not celebrating His divinity. We are celebrating His humanity. We are celebrating the fact that He came to earth as a man who went through everything we go through and is thus able to lead us and help us through everything.

GIG280 Hanukkah—Do Not Be Conformed to this World
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #280 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be conformed to this world. That is what Hanukkah is all about. It expresses the refusal of the Jewish people to be converted into something that was against the will of God and against the teachings of God. We as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) should have the same resistance to the culture that is set to move us away from the Scriptures, away from our Christian values, and convert us to a different way of life. Hanukkah is not a substitute for Christmas....

GIG278 Walking With God Is Doing
Growing In God with Gary Hargrave
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #278 Title: Walking with God is Doing Web Description: How do we walk with God? By taking steps to act on what God is telling us to do. The Scriptures are more than ideas to learn about and discuss. They are a way for God to speak directly to us what He wants us to do.

Program Number: GIG #284
Web Description: Do you ever struggle to believe that God truly loves you? Are you ever discouraged by the lack of unity among Christians? According to John 17, the glory we have received from Christ is the answer to those problems. His glory means that the Father loves us with the same love He has for Christ, and together we have the same oneness that Christ and the Father have. This is our reality. Let us live in it today.
Show Notes: Religion tends to put everything in the past or in the future. And when we are conditioned by that in our minds, it limits what we can believe. It makes our faith head knowledge, as if it is only something we are supposed to be educated about. But we are not supposed to merely understand the Scriptures. And we are not supposed to lock them up in the past or the future. We are supposed to walk in them in our daily lives.
According to John 17, Yeshua (Jesus) said, “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them.” That means His glory has already been given to us. That is not head knowledge. Nor is it off in the future. It is ours to possess now because we have this glory from the Father for a purpose, which needs to be a reality. Yeshua prayed that we would be one, and that does not happen because we try to work it up. Our oneness in the Body of Christ happens because of His glory.
His glory brings our oneness, and by that the world will know that the Father has sent Christ. But there is another aspect that the world will see in us, which we often overlook. Because of the glory that we possess in Christ, the world will know that the Father loves us just as He has loved His Son. Is it real to us as Christians that God loves us with the exact same love He has for Christ? It should be. Let us absorb this Scripture until it is more than something we accept mentally. Let us learn how to live in the glory of Christ.
Key Verses:
• John 17:20–26. “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them.”
• John 14:6. “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
• 2 Corinthians 5:19. “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.”
• Philippians 2:13. “It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”
• Ephesians 3:18–19. “Be able to … know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge.”
Quotes:
• “We have the glory of Christ given to us now to live in now.”
• “Living daily in the glory that the Father gave to Christ would change many things. But one of the things that would change is the fact that it would bring oneness to me and those that are walking with God surrounding myself and really with all who believe.”
• “The Father's good pleasure is that you know how much He loves you, and that you come to the revelation that as He loves His Son, so He loves you. And that's really why the Son was sent.”
Takeaways:
1. It needs to be real to us that the glory the Father gave Christ is the glory Christ has given to us.
2. It needs to be real to us that we already possess His glory, and we can live in it today.
3. It needs to be real to us that our oneness with others in Christ is because of His glory.
4. It needs to be real to us that the Father loves us with the very same love that He has for His Son.
