Podcasts about citizens of heaven

With a lot of questions in our Q&R time, we thought it a good idea for Johnny to take a few more.

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

What if the very thing meant to silence your faith became the spark that spread it? In the final week of Citizens of Heaven, Pastor Steve Garcia closes out the series with a sobering message on Persecution.  Through the life of the Apostle Paul, we see that every attempt to stamp out the gospel only caused it to burn brighter. God's people may be pressed, but never crushed — and His Kingdom keeps advancing, even in the fire. If you've ever faced hostility for following Jesus, this message will remind you: God's Kingdom thrives under pressure.

We are citizens of heaven—foreigners in this world, beneficiaries of God's promises, and ambassadors of Christ.In this message, GTC Youth Pastor Darwin Cuadro reminds us to live with eternity in view: feeding our spirit, trusting God's provision, and representing the Kingdom wherever we go. #ABetterCountry #HeavensCitizens #GTCSundayService#WhereLivesChange

Today we welcome guest speaker Layla Nahavandi as she shares a powerful message titled “Citizens of Heaven.” In this sermon, Layla challenges us to remember that as followers of Jesus, we belong to a different kingdom—one not of this world. She reminds us that our true identity is not defined by earthly status or circumstance but by our citizenship in heaven. Through scripture and revelation, we learn that: 1.Citizens of Heaven have a new King and Kingdom. 2.Citizens of Heaven carry a name with authority and access. 3.Citizens of Heaven live by kingdom laws. 4.Citizens of Heaven speak a new language and develop a new accent. 5.Citizens of Heaven walk in new rights, privileges, and freedoms through Christ. Citizens of Heaven Bill of Rights I am God's possession, His child, His workmanship, His friend, His temple, co-laborer, witness, soldier, ambassador, and building. I am able to do all things because He strengthens me. I am a minister and an instrument; His chosen, His beloved, His jewel, and His heritage. In Christ I have been redeemed by blood—set free from sin, set free from Satan, and set free from the kingdom of darkness. I have been chosen before the foundation of the world, predestined to be like Jesus, forgiven of all trespasses, washed in His blood, and accepted into God's family. I have been justified freely by His grace, given all things pertaining to life, given great and precious promises, a sound mind, and the Holy Spirit. I have the ministry of reconciliation, authority over the enemy, access to God, and wisdom for free. In Christ I am complete—sanctified, justified, and fit for the Master's use. I am loved eternally, kept by His power, not condemned, one with the Lord, and seated in heavenly places. I am the head and not the tail, the light in darkness, a candle in a dark place, a city on a hill, and the salt of the earth. I am His sheep, hidden with Christ in God, and protected from the evil one. I am secure in Christ, set on a rock, more than a conqueror, born again, filled with His power, a victor, healed by His stripes, covered by His blood, sheltered by His wings, and hidden in the secret place. I have access to the Father, a home in heaven, all things in Christ, a living hope, and an anchor for my soul. I have authority to tread on serpents, power to witness, the tongue of the learned, the mind of Christ, boldness, access, and peace with God. I have faith like a mustard seed. In Him I can do all things, find mercy, come boldly to His throne, quench the fiery darts of the enemy, declare liberty to the captives, pray always, and overcome the enemy. The only things I cannot do in Christ are to be separated from God, to perish or be lost, to be moved, taken out of my Father's hand, charged, accused, or condemned. I am a citizen of heaven, and this is my identity in Christ.

October 12, 2025. Pastor Zach Vaughn. www.machiasvalley.org    Text: Philippians 3:17-4:1   Sermon Points: 1) Follow the examples of Jesus on earth. 2) Set your mind on Jesus in heaven. 3) Stand firm in Jesus.

What if the real test of faith isn't what you believe in theory, but how you walk it out with other people—especially the ones who rub you the wrong way? Journeying through Philippians 3, we explore why Paul refuses to let belief stay abstract. He moves us from orthodoxy to orthopraxy, from ideas to daily habits, and he roots the entire shift in one provocative claim: Christians don't live fragmented lives. Our heavenly citizenship informs everything—work, politics, relationships, desires—because Jesus is not a weekend identity; he's the organizing center.Expect some holy discomfort as we challenge fragmented living and gimmick-driven spirituality. Paul's invitation to imitate his life confronts our obsession with polish and ease. He was poor, opposed, often alone—and deeply content. The early church saw glory through a cross-shaped lens, not a pain-free one. That vision steadies us now: we can lean into community when offended, guard doctrine without losing love, and set our minds above without abandoning the world we're called to serve.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

God wants to equip us in our faith by being in unity with other believers, standing together without fear when we encounter those who oppose us.

Ryan Thomas, a missionary to Spain that we support, continues our series in Philippians. He challenges us to live our lives with eternity in focus. "But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:15 ESV 

Summer/Fall 2025Season 7Episode 1

Debbie Leech continues our series on Philippians.

Brandon walks us through Philippians 3:1-11 and the sobering reality that we can do nothing to gain our salvation and the awesomeness of Christ and the great exchange. "I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith." Philippians 3:9

Bronagh McIntyre continues our series on Philippians.

Nate continues in Philippians and asks us who are we doing life with? Who are the few we can count on when we go through hard things? And he challenges us by asking, are you that friend for someone else? Citizens of Heaven are those type of friends. 

"Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people." Philippians 2:14-15Justin Farley encourages us to be citizens of heaven, to be bright lights in this world. He challenges us to examine our lives to see if we are living clean, innocent lives and if we are different than this world.

Citizens of Heaven 4 by Emmanuel Church Portadown

In this episode of The FLOT Line, host Rick Hughes explores what it means to understand and live out God's will for your life. Drawing from passages like Jeremiah 29:11, Colossians 1:9-10, and others, Rick emphasizes that God has a specific plan for every believer—a plan rooted in His love, wisdom, and divine patience. Rick unpacks the difference between knowing Scripture and applying it (epignosis), discusses the characteristics of a worthy spiritual walk, and explains how to be a productive citizen of heaven while still on Earth.Download Transcript: https://rhem.pub/productive-citizens-b4bbcc

We are challenged by Philippians 2:3-5. "Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had."Nate digs into how we live this out and challenges us truly look at ourselves in the mirror, are we truly living with the "same attitude that Christ Jesus had." This what it means to be a citizen of Heaven.

"Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourself in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ. Then, whether I come to see you again or only hear about you, I will know that you are standing together with one spirit and one purpose, fighting together for the faith, which is the Good News." Philippians 1:27Nate breaks apart this verse and challenges us to examine our lives, to reflect on are we truly living as citizens of heaven?

Adam continues in the book of Philippians and challenges us to share the gospel. It is worth it. 

Nate begins our new series going through the book of Philippians. He challenges us to continue walking and obeying the text. But gives us hope knowing that "And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." Philippians 1:6
