Podcasts about kingdom first

We are to live our lives serving for the Lord and not the glory of men. God is deserving of our best.

 In this message, Pastor Karl continues the "Kingdom Now" series with a study through Matthew 20, unpacking Jesus's Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. Building on Peter's question at the end of Matthew 19 — "What do we get for the sacrifice we've given?" — Pastor Karl explores the difference between gifts and rewards in the Christian life. Salvation is a gift, received by grace through faith, while eternal rewards are tied to faithfulness, obedience, generosity, and perseverance in serving God's kingdom. Through the story of the vineyard workers who all receive the same wage regardless of when they started, Pastor Karl reveals that this parable isn't primarily about the workers — it's about the graciousness of the master. God's rewards are given by grace, not earned through work, but they are given to those who work. This message challenges listeners to live radically committed lives, storing up treasures in heaven rather than settling for a "safe soul and a wasted life."

In this message, Pastor Karl walks through Matthew 19, where the Pharisees approach Jesus with pointed questions about divorce — testing him against the competing rabbinic schools of Shammai and Hillel. Rather than settling the debate on their terms, Jesus redirects them to God's original design for marriage from Genesis, addressing not just the surface question but the deeper issue underneath it: a hardened heart that looks for loopholes instead of surrendering to God's standard.Pastor Karl unpacks what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, and remarriage with pastoral care and honesty about how difficult these teachings can be to live out. He also explores the chapter's turn toward children, and the story of the rich young ruler — a man who came asking about religious righteousness but was really wrestling with money and control.The big idea: Jesus confronts the hardness of our hearts because his kingdom calls for commitment and sacrifice, while our natural tendency is to search for loopholes and excuses. This message is an invitation to let Scripture rebuke, correct, and train us — and to rely on the power of God's Spirit rather than our own willpower to live faithfully.Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

What if your testimony is exactly what someone else needs to hear?In this message, Jayson French, President of Christ In Youth (CIY), explores the power of personal testimony through Scripture and practical application. Looking at stories like the Gerasene demoniac, the Samaritan woman, and Revelation 12:11, he encourages believers to be prepared to share how Jesus has worked in their lives. Our stories don't save people, but they faithfully point others to the One who does.Jayson French has spent more than two decades serving in student ministry and now leads Christ In Youth (CIY), partnering with churches to help the next generation follow Jesus and live on mission.

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?

Link Up With US!Kingdom First: Navigating Nationalism & Faith | Heavenly Citizenship Over Earthly AllegianceWhat does the Bible actually teach about patriotism, nationalism, government, and our identity as followers of Jesus Christ?In this thought-provoking episode of Let's Talk About IT, hosted by Apostle Herbie H. Neverson and Apostle Rosemary Collins Neverson, we examine these important questions through the lens of Scripture—not politics.The Bible never commands believers to embrace patriotism as a doctrine. Instead, it calls us to unwavering allegiance to King Jesus, faithful prayer for governing authorities, and a Kingdom mindset that transcends every nation, political ideology, and earthly kingdom.Join us as we explore what it means to live as citizens of Heaven while faithfully representing Christ on earth."Our highest allegiance belongs to Jesus Christ. Our citizenship is in Heaven, and our mission is to advance the Kingdom of God among every nation." Support the show

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"

Facebook.com/JonathanDornMinistries

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.
