Podcasts about kingdom first

What has God placed in your hands, and are you using it for His Kingdom?Joshua Means from The Solomon Foundation continues our Kingdom First series with a message from Matthew 25 and the Parable of the Talents. Through the picture of a comfortable chair and a pair of boots ready for battle, he challenges us to move beyond comfort and faithfully steward our time, talents, and treasure.God has given every person something meaningful to contribute. The invitation is to take a step of faith, join the mission, and use what He has entrusted to us to help more people encounter Jesus.

Episode 4181 │ July 14, 2026 We handed sovereignty back to Caesar voluntarily. Nobody took it from us. We gave it away piece by piece. Kingdom first is the only way back. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson — nine days into a 26-day fast, with the clarity that comes after the corner is turned — opens with the NDAA Section 219 and Senate Section 1217, the United States-Israel Defense Technology Corporation Initiative that would embed Israel into America's highest levels of AI, quantum, space, robotics, and intelligence development without reciprocal obligation, and names it plainly: not a treaty, not an alliance, but a corporate merger designed to circumvent the Constitution and transfer sovereignty to a foreign power with a congressional rubber stamp. The episode then moves to the deeper diagnosis — John Winthrop's 1630 sermon aboard the Arbella warning that a people who anchor their fortune to anything other than fidelity to God will become a story and a byword through the world, Matthew 6:33's operative word first, and the Declaration's liberty under God doing all the work — building the case that America was never supposed to be the object of identity but the space where a sovereign individual answerable to God could be lived out without a king's permission. The episode closes with the only rightly ordered response Scott finds: not abandoning the earthly, not retreating from the world, but returning to the dual citizenship model — kingdom first, Caesar second — as the only identity sturdy enough to hold when the team loses, the market crashes, the war ends badly, and the politician fails to deliver. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is NDAA Section 219 and Senate Section 1217 — and why does the deliberate use of the word corporation in the United States-Israel Defense Technology Corporation Initiative reveal that this is not a diplomatic relationship between sovereign nations but a structural merger designed to bypass constitutional treaty requirements and transfer America's highest-level technology sovereignty to a foreign power without reciprocal obligation? What did John Winthrop warn aboard the Arbella in 1630 — and why does his description of what happens when a people's fortune gets anchored to something other than fidelity to God read as a precise diagnosis of the inversion America is living through right now, 396 years later? What does the "under" in liberty under God actually mean — and why does Scott argue that the Declaration's founding premise, that nothing earthly gets to define you because something higher than Caesar already claimed you, is the only identity stable enough to survive everything the current system is engineered to make you fear, worship, or despair over?

Why is it that some people make progress…they grow from victory to victory and evolve from strength to strength; while others seem to live in negative cycles.Could it be that success is not merely about what we do…but more so about what we understand about who we are becoming.

THE KINGDOM FIRST ( BUILDING THE FUTURE NOW )

THE KINGDOM FIRST

Why do so many Christians spend their lives in the pursuit of the blessings of God, yet seldom do they pause to understand The Kingdom of God itself?Jesus invites us to seek something far greater than benefit. He calls us to seek thorough awareness of The Kingdom of Heaven itself.Why?Because when The Kingdom becomes the priority, everything else of value will find its way to you. Though there will be time involved, this is a guarantee from Christ The King Himself. The Kingdom is never a religious idea nor a religion.The Kingdom is the sovereign rule of The King of Life over all who yield willingly to His reign.And when He truly reigns in a life, something remarkable begins to burgeon in and through that life.Anxiety will lose its grip.Peace will sit on the throne of your life. Intangible and tangible supplies will make their way to you from unexpected sources that you never realized that God had already prepared for you.

Rev. Hope Twitchell brought the Word as she shared her call to Thailand. We seek God's Kingdom first. God will direct us from there!

Matthew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom First"

In this episode, we explore Luke 9:57–62 and the defining moments when following Jesus moves from casual interest to total commitment. Using the powerful “line in the sand” image—often associated with the 1836 Battle of the Alamo—we’re invited to consider our own moment of decision: are we all in, or holding back? Through three encounters with would-be disciples, Jesus makes the cost of following Him unmistakably clear. Kingdom-first discipleship calls us to lay aside comfort and convenience, prioritize Jesus above time and money, and break free from the pull of our past. His words are challenging—but they are also a kindness, calling us into a deeper, fuller life with Him. Ultimately, we see that Jesus has already crossed the line for us—laying down everything to rescue and redeem us. Now, He calls us to respond. Will we simply encounter Him, or will we truly follow?

Kingdom First - Part 2

In this episode of the Other Six podcast, we wrap up our Kingdom First series by exploring the Parable of the Sower. Jesus shows how the same Word can produce different results, not because the seed is flawed, but because the condition of the heart matters. We walk through the four types of soil, unpacking why spiritual growth takes time, how emotion differs from depth, and how distractions can quietly choke faith. The good news? Your soil isn't permanent. God desires to cultivate your heart so His Word can take root and bear lasting fruit.
