Bibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Du er et mesterverk! - Skapt av Gud for en hensiktHar du noen gang tenkt over hva det vil si å være et mesterverk? I et kunstverk er det kunstnerens håndverk, visjon og hjerte som gir verket verdi, ikke materialene det er laget av. Tenk deg så, at du selv er et slikt mesterverk – ikke skapt av tilfeldigheter, men formet med omhu, kjærlighet og hensikt.
2025-10-2629 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Bibelverset som alle kristne har syndet motNår du hører dette, hva er din umiddelbare tanke?
Kanskje du forestiller deg at jeg vil begynne å snakke om umoral, om det å drikke seg full, eller om de skjulte syndene vi bærer på.
Kanskje du forventer at jeg skal ta opp viktigheten av tilgivelse, et emne som er høyt prioritert i vår tro. Men selv om tilgivelse er av stor betydning, er det faktisk ikke det jeg vil snakke om i dag.
Vi skal reflektere over et spesielt bibelvers som kan være litt utfordrende, men også livsforvandlende. Kan du gjette hvilket vers det er?

Sliter du med tanker som ikke gir deg fred? Tanker som stadig kretser rundt om du har bedt nok, trodd nok, eller gjort nok for Gud? Påtrengende religiøse tanker kan være utmattende og fylle livet med angst og usikkerhet. Men i dag vil jeg gi deg en løsning!

OCD (også kalt scrupulosity) er en form for angst der frykten for å miste frelsen, synde ubevisst eller ikke være “god nok” for Gud blir altoppslukende.
2025-02-1638 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Tro og kjærlighet overvinner fryktHva er det egentlig som overvinner frykt? Tro og kjærlighet.
Men hvordan får vi denne troen? Er det ved å anstrenge oss, ta oss kraftig sammen, eller gjenta «jeg tror» hundre ganger? Nei, tro handler ikke om selvdisiplin eller prestasjon. Det handler om å se hvem Gud er – at Han er kjærlighet – og å sette vår lit til Ham.
2025-02-0932 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Frihet fra religiøse påtrengende tanker – Overvinne perfeksjonisme (2)Perfeksjonisme i troen kan føre til en uendelig streben etter å være “god nok” for Gud, drevet av en frykt for ikke å tilfredsstille de høye standardene man tror er nødvendige. Dette kan resultere i konstant selvkritikk, skyldfølelse og en følelse av utilstrekkelighet, selv når man gjør sitt beste.

Åndelige spørsmål kan være like plagsomme: Ber jeg nok? Er jeg til behag for Gud? Synder jeg for mye? Har jeg mistet frelsen?
Mange sliter med slike tanker uten å vite hvorfor. Jeg har selv erfart dette i mange år før jeg innså at det kunne skyldes obsessiv-kompulsiv lidelse (OCD), spesielt en form som kalles religiøs OCD. Ved å forstå denne tilstanden, kan vi finne...
2025-01-2628 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Kommer Jesus tilbake?2024 var et år med mange engasjerte diskusjoner i norske kristne miljøer om endetiden og hvordan man skal tolke Jesu profetier.
To teologiske retninger sto i fokus: dispensasjonalismen og preterismen. For noen har dette ført til forvirring, særlig når begge sider hevder å ha rett og støtter seg på Bibelen.
Hvem skal man tro? Hvordan kan man finne trygghet midt i ulike tolkninger? Jeg vil dele min personlige reise gjennom denne debatten — fra uro og frykt til en dypere forståelse og ydmykhet.
La oss se nærmere på hva som virkelig er klart i Skriften, og hva vi kan læ...

Vi møter alle situasjoner i livet hvor frykt, bekymring eller rådvillhet truer med å overvelde oss.
Men midt i vår situasjon kommer Gud til oss med en trøstende påminnelse: “Frykt ikke, for jeg er med deg!”
Dette er ikke bare ord – det er en levende sannhet fra hjertet av vår himmelske Far.
Uansett hva du står overfor, husk at Guds kjærlige hånd holder deg oppe. Hans styrke er din styrke, og hans løfter står fast. La oss finne fornyet mot og fred i vissheten om at Gud e

I stedet kan du rette blikket mot de nye mulighetene Gud har for deg i 2025. Gud har gode planer for deg, og han ønsker å lede deg til seier dette året. Han er ved din side på den veien du går akkurat nå, selv om det kan virke utfordrende.

2024-12-1518 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Hva er og hvordan forstå Guds vilje?Å oppdage Guds vilje er invitasjon til frihet og glede
Hvordan ville livet ditt sett ut om du virkelig forsto Guds vilje? Ikke som et sett av regler å frykte, men som en invitasjon til et levende, nært forhold til Gud – et forhold fylt med kjærlighet, nåde, fred og glede?
2024-12-0823 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Du er akseptert og friDu trenger ikke å bli «fikset» – du trenger å oppdage at du allerede er fullt ut akseptert! Gud har akseptert deg helt og holdent, akkurat som du er.
Når du virkelig ser og forstår dette, vil både dine tanker og din oppførsel naturlig begynne å forvandles. Det kristne livet handler om å bli fornyet i tankene våre, slik at vi stadig får en dypere forståelse av hvor høyt vi er elsket og akseptert av Ham.

Hvordan ser Gud på deg når du har falt i en synd? Forandrer hans syn på deg når du har gjort noe galt?
Kan jeg fortelle deg en god nyhet? Gud elsker deg fordi du er skapt i hans bilde, og fordi du er hans sønn eller datter. Dette vil aldri forandre seg!
2024-11-2433 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Kjærligheten driver all frykt utJohannes 4:18-19 lærer oss om Guds kjærlighet som driver ut all frykt. Frykt kommer fra en forventning om straff, men Guds fullkomne kjærlighet gir trygghet og fred. Frykt i forholdet til Gud viser at vi ennå ikke helt har forstått hans kjærlighet fult ut.
Verset minner oss om at vi elsker Gud fordi Han først elsket oss. Når vi oppdager Guds kjærlighet mer og mer, blir vår frykt erstattet med tillit og visshet om at vi er trygge i Hans armer og i hans kjærlighet. Vi kan bli fri våre frykt tan

To av Bibelens mest kjente figurer, Job og Paulus, opplevde stor lidelse, men deres historier gir ulike perspektiver på hvordan vi kan forstå prøvelser og utfordringer.
Var Jobs lidelser en konsekvens av frykt, og hva var egentlig Paulus’ “torn i kjødet”? Gjennom deres erfaringer kan vi få dypere innsikt i hvordan troende kan møte motgang med utholdenhet og avhengighet av Gud.
La oss se på deres historier for å avdekke hva de kan lære oss om...
2024-11-1028 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Guds vilje og lidelser – Kommer lidelser fra Gud?Er lidelse en del av Guds plan og vilje? Mange har stilt dette spørsmålet når de møter smertefulle situasjoner i livet.
Mens noen tror at lidelser er en måte Gud straffer eller tester oss på, er Bibelen tydelig på at lidelse i seg selv ikke er noe Gud ønsker for sine barn. Så hvorfor opplever vi lidelse som troende?
Hva betyr det å “ta opp sitt kors” og følge Jesus?
Gjennom denne undervisningen vil vi se på hva det innebærer å følge Kristus, selv når det innebærer å møte motgang og utfordringer.
2024-11-0328 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Guds vilje og sykdomSykdom er en virkelighet mange av oss må forholde oss til, men er det virkelig Guds plan for våre liv? Mange har kanskje blitt fortalt at sykdom er en byrde vi må bære, eller at Gud bruker sykdom for å lære oss noe.
Men hva sier egentlig Bibelen? Kan vi tro at Gud vil at vi skal være friske? Gjennom Jesu liv og offer finner vi et radikalt budskap – et budskap om frihet fra både synd og sykdom.
La oss se litt dypere på dette kraftfulle temaet og oppdage hva Guds hjerte virkelig er for helbredelse.
2024-10-2738 minBibelundervisning på Podcast (Audio)Guds vilje, skjebnetro og bønnHva om bønn er mer enn bare ord vi sender opp til himmelen? Hva om det faktisk er et nøkkelverktøy som Gud ønsker vi skal bruke for å bringe hans vilje inn i våre liv og denne verden?
Mange tenker at alt som skjer er forutbestemt av Gud, men Jesus lærte oss å be om at Guds vilje skal skje – noe som antyder at vi har en viktig rolle å spille i dette.
I dag skal vi se på hvordan bønn, er langt fra å være en kjedelig plikt, faktisk kan bli en spennende og dynamisk kraft når vi forstår...

Er lidelsene vi møter virkelig Guds måte å lære oss noe på, eller kommer de fra en annen kilde?
I denne undervisningen skal vi utforske hvordan Gud faktisk prøver oss, hva Bibelen sier om fristelser, og hvordan vi kan forstå Guds godhet i møte med utfordringer.

Good News for Broken Hearts - PodcastDo We Have Two Natures? Identity ConfusionMany Christians are often a bit confused about whether we as Christians have two natures.
Some people teach that we have one nature before we became a Christian, and when we are born again we got another, new nature.
This new nature is in conflict with the old one, and often we can still feel that the old nature is most dominant. The solution some preachers give is that you have to feed the good side of yourself, the new nature, so that the old one does not take over again. But that’s a lot of work

Many people when they look at this verse they think that this it is about our new spirit and nature, fighting against the evil part of me, called the flesh.
It means I still have a struggle on the inside and I have to constantly try to be in my spirit and try to kill the flesh, the evil side of myself.
First, notice that the Spirit is capitalised, that means it's not about your spirit but God's Spirit. Secondly, remember that the flesh...

For many years I was afraid of reading Galatians 5 where it is talking about the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. I was afraid that if I did some of the acts of the flesh, I did not belonged to God anymore.

When you hear this answer and statement, you may think: You must be a Bible teacher who says that it is perfectly fine to sin and we can sin as much as we want without any consequences.
Can I tell you one thing: There is no place in the Bible where it says you can lose your salvation in the same way that you might lose your wallet, for example. Salvation is not something you suddenly lose, like doing a sin or falling into a sin.

We as Christians say that we have the answered for the problem of sin, which is Jesus, but in the practical life, it often does not look like it.
Many Christians struggle with sin as much as the non-Christians, some even more, although they may manage to maintain a better facade. in addition they struggle more with condemnation, guilt and self-condemnation.
You may find that some non-Christians can often exercise better self-discipline than many Christians. What is this so? Is there an answer?

They want to forgive, but they still have negative feelings towards those who have hurt them.
They can easily be condemned by what Jesus is saying in Matthew 18:35, that if we do not forgive our neighbor with our heart, God will not forgive us, but reject us and punish us, which makes us have the fear that God has not forgiven us.

(Part 2) What about the first letter of John saying that God does not forgive us before we have confessed our sins? If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so he forgives us from sin and purifies us from all unrighteousness.
This is a scripture many use to explain that God has not forgiven us until we have made up for our sin and asked for forgiveness.
It may seems, when we read this, that God has not forgiven us until we do the next sin and that we constantly must remember to ask...
