Podcast appearances and mentions of christ matthew

Most Christians agree that materialism is bad… but few of us have ever connected the clutter in our garages to the condition of our hearts.   In this episode, Bob sits down with Joshua Becker (author of Uncluttered Faith and founder of BecomingMinimalist.com) to explore a provocative idea: what if consumerism isn't just a money issue—but a spiritual one?   Joshua makes the case that the things we own—and the things we want—may be quietly choking out our fruitfulness, distracting us from God's best, and stealing time, energy, and joy we didn't realize we were losing.   And yes… we even ask the question: Is your Amazon cart spiritual warfare?       In this conversation, you'll discover: Why Jesus said riches, pleasures, and worries choke out spiritual fruit—and why that sounds a lot like modern America The difference between owning less and wanting less (and why the second one matters more) Why abundance in the Bible doesn't mean "more stuff" How clutter quietly costs you time, attention, peace, and generosity The surprising connection between minimalism and discipleship Why getting rid of "just a few towels" actually can change your life How to take a realistic first step—without living out of a backpack Joshua also reframes some of the most well-known verses in Scripture, showing how deeply Jesus tied our spiritual lives to our relationship with money and possessions—and how freedom often starts with subtraction, not addition.   If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your stuff, confused about God's promises of abundance, or stuck chasing things that never quite satisfy, this episode may change how you see everything you own.     Key Scriptures Mentioned (NLT): Luke 8:14–15 – The parable of the soils Matthew 13:44–46 – The hidden treasure & pearl Luke 18:22 – The rich young ruler Philippians 4:11–13 – Contentment in Christ Matthew 6:33 – Seeking the Kingdom first     About Today's Guest: Joshua Becker is the founder of BecomingMinimalist.com and the author of multiple bestselling books, including Uncluttered Faith. His work helps people align their homes, finances, and lives with what matters most.

Sermon By: Pastor Roman Folia (The Gospel of Matthew pt. 55)

Matthew 24:15-51 | 1 February 2026

“Do Not Miss the Christ” Matthew 11:7-24 February 1, 2026 Pastor Tony Felich    Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Matthew 11: 7 As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? [8] What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. [9] What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. [10] This is he of whom it is written, "'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.' [11] Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. [12] From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. [13] For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, [14] and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come. [15] He who has ears to hear, let him hear. [16] “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates, [17] “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.' [18] For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.' [19] The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” [20] Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. [21] “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. [22] But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. [23] And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. [24] But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”   It's possible to be near Christ, hear truth, see evidence, and still miss Him.           • Jesus defends his faithful servant (7-10)            • Jesus exposes the unbelief of skeptics (11-19)            • Jesus warns the unrepentant (20-24)

12-28-25 Responses to the Coming Death of Christ: Matthew 26:1-13 by Woodlawn Baptist Church

Is your Christmas season feeling more stressful than soulful? In this powerful Christmas message, Pastor Chris DeArman explores Philippians 2 to reveal a side of Jesus we often overlook: The Servant King. While the world competes for status and "selfish ambition," Jesus offers a different way to live that leads to true connection and community.  In this sermon, you'll discover three profound ways Jesus serves you right now: He Sits With Us: Jesus isn't a distant God; He entered into our suffering and "emptied himself" to be with us in our mess.  He Saves Us: He bore the full weight of our sin on the cross so that our guilt is gone and our forgiveness is forever.  He Prays For Us: Right now, Jesus is at the right hand of God interceding for you. You are not alone in your struggles.  "Selfish ambition kills connection, but counting others first creates community."  Learn how to shift your perspective this holiday season and live in the light of Christ's service to us.

What does it truly mean to make disciples? 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.What does it truly mean to make disciples, and how are we living out the commands of Christ in a way that impacts others? Are we treasuring His Word so deeply that it overflows into discipling others?As we come to the final command in this rich four-year journey through the words of Christ, we are brought to the heart of it all—making disciples. 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. Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Religious people may look good on the outside, but righteousness is only found in Christ Matthew 23:1-39

This message explains Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 about the End Times, given privately to His disciples on the Mount of Olives. Jesus reveals that prophecy is meant to be understood and outlines three phases: immediate events, the Tribulation, and ultimately His Second Coming. Scripture shows that after unparalleled global distress, Jesus will return visibly and powerfully, fulfilling numerous Old Testament prophecies. His return will bring judgment on a world hardened in rebellion, while His words remain infallible, inerrant, complete, and authoritative. While the Church will be removed before the Tribulation, the generation that endures those final years will witness these signs unfold. Jesus emphasizes that although no one knows the exact day or hour, believers must stay watchful, faithful, wise, and ready—not focused on the Antichrist but on Christ Himself. The call is to live prepared, because His return is certain and life is uncertain.

1. The Lord Jesus Christ Will Return Physically, Literally, and Bodily (Acts 1:11). 2. Revelation Functions as John's Olivet Discourse. 2.1. Matthew 24-25 Points to the Destruction of the Temple (Matthew 24:15) and the Return of Christ (Matthew 24:36-25:46). 2.2. Mark 13 Points to the Destruction of the Temple (Mark 13:14) and the Return of Christ (Mark 13:32-37). 2.3. Luke 21:5-36 Points to the Destruction of the Temple (Luke 21:20-24) and the Return of Christ (Luke 21:34-36). 3. Each of the Major Visions Ends with the Second Coming of Christ in Judgment. 3.1. The Seven Seals Climax with Christ's Return (Revelation 6:12-17). 3.2. The Seven Trumpets Climax with Christ's Return (Revelation 11:16-18). 3.3. The Middle Vision Climaxes with Christ's Return (Revelation 14:14-20). 3.4. The Seven Bowls Climax with Christ's Return (Revelation 16:16-21; Cf. Revelation 6:7ff.). 3.5. The Vision of the Whore, the Bride, and the Groom Climaxes with Christ's Return (Revelation 19:1-3). 3.6. The Vision of the Rider on the White Horse Climaxes with Christ's Return (Revelation 19:17). 3.7. The Post-Millennial Vision Climaxes with Christ's Return (Revelation 20:11-15). 4. Have you Repented and Cast Yourself on God's Mercy in Christ?

Daylight Savings can leave us feeling drained and in a spiritual funk, but God’s light offers hope and renewal. 1 John 1:5 reminds us that God is light and that in Him there is no darkness at all. Just as seasonal darkness affects our mood, spiritual darkness can weigh on our hearts—but God’s light empowers us to shine, overcome, and point others to Christ even in the darkest seasons. Highlights Spiritual darkness is temporary; God’s light never fades (1 John 1:5, John 8:12). Darkness symbolizes evil, while light represents God’s presence and purity. Believers are called to live as children of the light, reflecting God in families, churches, and communities (Ephesians 5:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:5). Doing good deeds and shining for Christ helps others see God’s love (Matthew 5:16). Seasonal or spiritual darkness can impact mood, but God’s light brings hope and restoration. Walking in the light requires vigilance, prayer, and repentance to combat spiritual heaviness. Gratitude for God’s light encourages resilience through temporary dark seasons. Join the Conversation Are you experiencing a season of spiritual or emotional darkness? How do you intentionally shine God’s light in your daily life? Share your thoughts using #ChildrenOfTheLight #ShineForChrist #FaithOverDarkness.

In a world where boycotts trend by the hour and social media justice can render someone “canceled” overnight, Christian parents are left wondering—how should we respond? In this insightful and deeply relevant episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose step into the emotionally charged topic of Cancel Culture with clarity, nuance, and a Biblical lens.  Rather than being driven by reactionary outrage, Christians are called to be rooted in grace, truth, and discernment. The conversation explores the dangers of modern Cancel Culture—doxing, boycotting, and outrage cycles—and contrasts them with the radical love and reconciliation found in Christ. Rachael and Natalie ask: What does it look like to live out a Grace Culture in a canceling world? And how do we teach our daughters to pursue peace, seek justice, and reflect the heart of Jesus in the face of public pressure?  Listeners will appreciate the honesty of personal stories, Biblical insights, and encouragements to step away from knee-jerk reactions and instead stand firmly on their identity in Christ. With wisdom from the Raising Godly Girls Minute by American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, this episode reminds us that we are uncanceled by God—and that truth has massive implications for how we love others.  Scripture References:  Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”  Ephesians 2:4–5 – “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ…”  Matthew 5:8 – “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.”  Micah 6:8 – “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”  2 Timothy 1:7 – “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”  Whether you're trying to navigate social media, lead your family in integrity, or disciple your daughter through cultural confusion, this episode offers an anchored, grace-filled vision for Christian living in divisive times.    Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.    To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

Title: Seeing Suffering Brightly: Faith, Discipline, and the Light of Christ Matthew 7:27-35; The Two Blind Men In this homily, Fr. Anthony shares Metropolitan Saba's teaching from the 2025 Convention that true spiritual vision begins not in denial of suffering, but in faithful endurance of it, transforming evil through thanksgiving and trust in God. Drawing on real martyrdom and lived faith in places like Damascus, he challenges us to see God's love even in discipline and to witness to Christ with joy, courage, and unwavering hope.
