May 25th 2025 – The Kingdom of Heaven – Matthew 13:1-52 by Exchange Church Shepparton
Today, Michael looks at this passage in Matthew. We see that anything we strive for in life becomes more important than God. What is your priority in life? We see that all are visited by death, wealth isn't currency in Heaven and that devotion to worldly treasure erodes our worship to God. We see we need to take up the eternal things that meet with God's approvalJoin our family morning service every Sunday at 11am.New Life HaydockPhythian StreetHaydockWA11 0AH

In this sermon, Pastor Micah Stephens explores Matthew 6:19-24 from the Sermon on the Mount, urging believers to choose heavenly treasures over earthly ones. He emphasizes Jesus' teaching on giving, praying, and fasting as acts of obedience that yield divine rewards when done with a pure heart, not for worldly recognition. Pastor Micah warns against the hypocrisy of seeking earthly rewards like wealth and glory, which reveal a divided loyalty to mammon rather than God. Through vivid illustrations, including the story of John Harper on the Titanic, he calls Christians to fix their gaze on Christ, prioritizing eternal values over fleeting worldly gains, and to serve God alone as their master, ensuring their heart aligns with heavenly treasures.Verse References: Isaiah 55 verse 8, Romans 6 verse 16, Matthew 6 verses 19-24, Luke 12 verses 33-34, 1 Timothy 6 verses 10-11, Philippians 4 verses 11-13, John 12 verses 42-43, Matthew 10 verse 32, Colossians 3 verses 1-2, Luke 17 verse 32, Acts 16 verse 31Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Islington Baptist is a church for the Islington and wider Newcastle community sharing the life-changing message of Jesus. Our sermons / Bible teaching is a central part of our gatherings.Matthew 18:1-141 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [11] 12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

When Jesus comes, he regularly talks about "the Kingdom of Heaven." But what is the Kingdom of Heaven? In this episode, Kyle and David reflect on what Jesus is talking about, and how we can live in the reality of God's Kingdom today.

Read OnlineThey came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, “What were you arguing about on the way?” But they remained silent. They had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Mark 9:33–34One of the desires that we all have is for greatness. This is a good and natural desire. This desire is manifested in competitiveness in sports and games. It becomes a driving force in business and politics. It drives us to do better in life, such as in school, artistic endeavors, and hobbies, working hard to perfect various skills and talents so as to excel. The problem is that every good and natural desire we have is now disordered to a certain degree because of original sin. As a result, the desire we have for greatness can become an obsession, a cause of discouragement when we fail, a source of jealousy when others appear to do better, and can lead us to pursue empty and fleeting goals in life.Even within the life of faith, we can be affected by both the natural desire for greatness and the fallenness of that desire. The natural desire for greatness, when mingled with faith, will lead us to the desire to be a saint and to do great things for the Kingdom of God. But as a fallen natural quality, we can also fall into the trap of seeing ourselves in competition with others within the Church, and we can become jealous of those who appear to be holy and who are recognized for their good work for Christ.Just prior to the passage quoted above in which the disciples were discovered to have been arguing among themselves about who was the greatest, Jesus predicted to them, for the second time, that He would suffer and die. Recall that after the first prediction of His passion, Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain and was transfigured before them. Perhaps some of the other disciples became jealous of this apparent special treatment. Then, after Jesus predicted His passion to them for the second time, they might have wondered if some of them would likewise share in a similar experience as the Transfiguration.Regardless of what motivated the disciples to argue among themselves about who was the greatest, the fact remains that they did so. This was not the result of a holy and purified desire. It was the result of a good desire for greatness that became distorted and turned into an unholy competition based on jealousy and selfishness.In Heaven, we will all know who is the greatest. Interestingly, the Scriptures, the official Church teachings, and many of the saints reveal to us that there will be levels of glory in Heaven. This is why Jesus said elsewhere, “Store up treasure in Heaven” (Matthew 6:20). In Heaven, each of us will be perfectly happy. But each of us will also share in God's glory in varying degrees, based upon the merit of our charity on earth. The classic example of this is that if every soul is like a glass of water in Heaven, then every glass will be full. But some glasses will be larger than others and will be able to contain more water (glory). For this reason, we must remember that the natural desire for greatness is good, but it must be properly ordered by grace. That desire must not become as it was among the disciples who saw each other as competitors. Instead, it must be directed to the deepest desire for holiness and charity. In Heaven, we will all be in awe of those holy souls who are filled with the greatest depths of glory forever. Most likely, they will be widely unknown on earth, but loved and admired in Heaven for the greatness of their holiness.Reflect, today, upon the desire within your own soul for greatness. Pray that this desire will not fall into selfishness or lead you to see others as competitors. Instead, pray that your desire for greatness will lead you to holiness so that you will be able to store up for yourself the most abundant treasures in Heaven and radiate that glory forever. Most glorious Lord, You are Greatness Itself. You are our eternal glory. I thank You for the natural desire for greatness that has been instilled within my soul. Please purify that desire, and help me to direct it toward holiness so that I will be able to store up in Heaven the many treasures You wish to bestow. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In kingdom language, being truly humble means to be as a little child. To be great in God's kingdom, that is, to be someone with power, influence, and leadership, you must humble yourself. What does it mean to “humble yourself?” There is no need to speculate about it, Jesus tells and shows us, as he brings before the disciples a “little child.” Clearly, there are lessons we need to learn about kingdom greatness and true humility, from the nature of little children.

Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
June 09, 2024 | Pastor Adam Wilson introduces the sermon on the mount series "Kingdom Living in a Chaotic World."
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” - Matthew 5:3. What does it mean that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the poor in spirit? In the beatitudes, Jesus subverts the wisdom of his our day with the wisdom of his kingdom. Listen in as Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller discuss the first of the beatitudes and how, in God's kingdom, the poor in spirit are considered “blessed.” CHECK OUT THIS MONTH'S OFFERS: Praying with Jesus: Getting to the Heart of the Lord's Prayer by Adriel Sanchez.

Yeshua (Jesus) was known in his time by three titles: 1. The Word made Flesh (John 1:14) 2. Melchizedek, King of the Celestial Kingdom of Shalem (Acts 22:14, John 18:36, i.e., The Kingdom of Heaven) 3. Melchizedek, Eternal Priest of the Kingdom of Shalem (Genesis 14:18 and Psalm 110:1-4) From Genesis 14:18 to Daniel 9:24 to Revelation 21:2-3, the message remains the same because Yeshua is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). With today's podcast, Episode 139, and Part 26 in this series about Yeshua and the House of Tzadok, we will learn more about the Qumran community of priests and what they understood concerning the coming New Covenant as it relates to Daniel 9:24 and Exodus 19:6. It is not just about maintaining an inheritance of integrity among the Sons of Tzadok. This is also about the Sons of Light who came to be called by other terms such as "Members of the Covenant," A Community of the Faithful," and "Associates of an Everlasting Society." Today, we will learn more about the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 4:17, meaning the Kingdom of Shalem), the priesthood "Crown" of Exodus 28:36-38, and the credit that we have as Sons of Tzadok through Melchizedek (Romans 4:5-6, 21-22; Hebrews 13:9-11). This 50-minute episode is jam-packed with lots of biblical references that will keep you busy in your biblical study of the History of the House of Tzadok. Join us for Real Israel Talk Radio, Episode 139, and Part 26 in my closing series of studies on the last Passover Week Chronology and Timeline of Yeshua.
