Podcasts about kingdom focus

In this compelling episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 14, exploring what he calls "Applied Christianity." This chapter challenges both seasoned and new believers to navigate the balance between personal freedom in Christ and public restraint for the sake of others. Pastor Karl unpacks the concept of spiritual maturity, emphasizing private liberty and public restriction as biblical principles rooted in love. He addresses the tension between those strong in faith, who live in the freedom of grace, and those weak in faith, who adhere to stricter rules, using the historical context of meat sacrificed to idols to illustrate disputable matters. Through practical examples like alcohol, Halloween, and homeschooling, Pastor Karl highlights how non-essential issues should not divide the church. He introduces the "law of love," urging listeners to prioritize others' faith over personal freedoms, and explains the Bema Seat judgment, where Christians are rewarded for their sacrifices, not judged for salvation. Join Pastor Karl for a thought-provoking discussion on living out faith with grace, love, and unity.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

8/3/2024 Sunday message from Covenant Word Church, Key West, FL 33040

Luke 12:1-34

God's faithfulness is both the reason and the means for us to be Kingdom focused.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 04/14/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. People Fall. It doesn't matter who you are, you will fall. Christian leaders fall. Ordinary Christians fall. People who don't call themselves Christians fall. Falling can come at unexpected times, even on the heels of triumph. People who stand well in the faith stand clear of ungodly influences. They prioritize engagement in the Kingdom. They stand back up when they fall. How do you stand in confidence in the Kingdom? Do what you do faithfully. Do what you do filled with faith. Do what you do consistently.

A Praying Church - Part 2: Praying in dependence & with kingdom focus.

Man was created to have fellowship with God - to stay in communication with Him – to worship Him – to obey Him, etc.  So, how can we do those things if we lose our focus?  Our attention span has almost dwindled down to nothing.  Our minds are constantly jumping from one thing to another.  There is a lack of mental acuity. 

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 04/07/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. There is great significance in the ordinary. You do not have to shake the world to have value. Ordinary people living ordinary lives have an extraordinary impact. The Kingdom is made of the ordinary. God gives the ordinary significance. What are you doing here? I am living here. I am working here. I am praying here. I am singing here. I am keeping watch here. The people in Nehemiah were doing ordinary things, and God put their names on the pages of the Bible. In order to see significance in the ordinary we need to use perspective. God defines significance. You need to use humility. You cannot be significant apart from God. You need to trust that God won't forget you. To see the significance of the ordinary in the kingdom you need to be in the pages of the Bible.

In this engaging message, Dr. Tony Evans explains that in the cosmic chess game between good and evil, Jesus is the winner. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ provides power for victorious living for those who identify with Him, who testify about Him to others, and who love Him more than life itself.   Receive the book Kingdom Focus plus an audio download of the broadcast "Jesus and His Power" for your donation of any amount!

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 03/17/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. How are your priorities? Pastor Steve has some questions for you to ask yourself to assess your priorities. What's your schedule like? Are you giving attention to the needs of others? Do you find yourself struggling with anger? Where is your treasure? Where is your heart? Are you giving God His due - your time and service? Why should God be a priority in my life? He made you. He called you. Jesus died for you. He placed His Spirit within you. He will require an account for your life. He forgave you. Priorities require commitment. What kind of commitment do kingdom people make? Kingdom people make a proactive commitment. They take initiative, and they take responsibility. They make a commitment that is sincere and not casual. They make a commitment that is broad in scope. They don't give God the leftovers, instead they give Him the first. What if you were to write some promises to God? They might be things related to relationships. Things that distract you from God. Things that tempt you to compromise. But be aware you can't maintain the covenant. Instead look to the Holy Spirit for strength. Look to Jesus for grace. Look to tomorrow for hope.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 03/10/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Where do you hear from God these days? God speaks through His word. God speaks personally to us. Why does God sometimes seem distant? Sometimes it is a lie. Sometimes it is a function of our disappointment. Sometimes it is created by my own sin. If we are feeling distant from God, how do we reconnect? Be honest about your faults (sins). Don't deny them, don't excuse them, don't celebrate them and don't hide them. Own your wrongdoing. Realize the rollercoaster and resist it. An unmonitored Christian life has unnecessary ups and downs. Step off of the roller coaster and onto the foundation of God and His word.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 3/03/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Reasons we love the word of God. Because of its place - it moves us forward spiritually. Because of the authority - God's Word. Because of its universal nature - it speaks to everyone. Because of its depth. Because of its complexity. Because of its touch - it speaks to the heart. Because of its nature - it is restorative. Four pointers on Reading God's word from Andrew Murray (1828-1917). Read it with reverence. Read it with expectation. Read it with careful attention. Read it with desire to make it yours.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 02/25/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Listen as Pastor Steve discusses walls around Jerusalem from Nehemiah 7. Walls allow people to thrive. They give you a place of shalom. Walls allow faith to flourish. It's hard for faith in God to flourish when dabbling in darkness. Walls allow promises to stand. There are doors and gates in the walls so we can be the light on the hill. These doors and gates allow us to love our enemies, be reconciled to those whom we've had quarrels, treat women and men with respect and dignity, be honest, forgive from the heart, give to those who are in need, let go of worry and trust your Father in heaven and build with an eye toward eternity. Gates allow others to see the Kingdom. Ultimately, Jesus Himself is the gate to the kingdom. Take a look at your own life at the walls and gates. Find a place of shalom. Discover the doors in your life and use them. Doors make it possible to live lives of light. Doors make it possible to understand the needs of others.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 2/18/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Pastor Steve is once again in Nehemiah. Listen as he discusses how to stay the course. There are three commitments that help us stay the course. We need to avoid distractions. Distractions are often the tool of the enemy. We need to be committed to staying the course. We need to address lies. Sometimes God expects you to confront lies. We need to assess relationships. In the kingdom, genuine friends draw you closer to the King. Am I staying the course? Which distractions tend to pull you off course? What kind of lies make you want to give in or frighten you? What friendships would you be wise to evaluate?

Presented At Curwensville Alliance on 2/11/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Listen as Pastor Steve discusses how to crowd out toxicity. How do you know if you are in a toxic environment? Here are some characteristics of a toxic environment. People don't respect others. People won't understand others. People don't care about others. There are several common problems leading to toxicity. Closing my eyes to the needs of others. Being unaware of the struggles of another. Being unaware of their shared brotherhood. How do you create a healthy environment? Take a look at yourself. Take a look at the King. Live a life worth imitating.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 02/04/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. The main tool the enemy uses is deceit. Satan's power is nowhere near equal to God's because his power is limited by God. Satan's pattern is one of deception. His hands may be tied, but his mouth spews lies. Satan knows the power of deceit. Satan has three favorite lies. You can't! Give up! Play it safe! Know your enemy - the father of lies. Satan is NOT God's equal and opposite. Exposing Satan's lies disarm him. Your Kingdom work moves forward when you choose not the believe his lies.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 01/21/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness - 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV). That means even the Scripture that we wonder why is that important. Nehemiah 3 shows us some useful lessons. All Kingdom work is spiritual work. Distraction doesn't have to deter you from serving in the Kingdom. Everyone has a place in the Kingdom. Hearts of passion serve. There is honor serving the Kingdom. How does a list of names have value? Nehemiah 3 teaches us to value your role in the Kingdom, to avoid forces that distract and deter you from serving and to try some things to find your place in the Kingdom. We also see that we are to look for something or someone to care about, and to expect honor to come from God and God alone.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 01/14/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. Pastor Steve shares some Kingdom foundations. Christians are not citizens of the world. Citizens of the Kingdom have been transformed as they obey the King and want others to find what they have found. Citizens of the Kingdom use their noggins! The non-thinking don't consider the consequences. The non-thinking give little thought to circumstances. The non-thinking can cause great damage. We as citizens of the Kingdom, need to think about what we are doing in the Kingdom. We need to live a circumspect life. We need to be circumspect when talking with authorities. We need to be circumspect about the unknown. We need to be be circumspect about opposition. We need to be circumspect about the mission. We need to be circumspect regarding boundaries.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 01/07/24 by Pastor Steve Shields. If you are a Christ Follower, you are a citizen of Heaven. Citizenship gives us privileges before God. We have the privilege of being an heir. We have the privilege of having salvation. We have the privilege of being made righteous. We have the privilege of life eternal. Citizenship gives us responsibilities before God. In the kingdom, it is actually a privilege to be given a responsibility. Let's take a look inside the head of the kingdom-minded. There is a concern for the well-being of the kingdom. There is a desire for renewal. There is a confidence in God's provision. There is an awareness of God's Providence. There is a respect for God's call and the role you are to fill. What is going on inside your head? Open your heart to God - surrender. Intentionally spend time in prayer with God. Willingly give yourself for the kingdom.

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 12/31/23 When do you take time to look at life? Some people don't because they run on automatic, are too distracted or are afraid to look. Some people look fearlessly to see places to invest their lives to make a difference - an eternal difference. Pausing and looking at life is a way you measure the meaning of your life. For Christ-followers, meaning begins with having a Kingdom mindset. We know who we are in the Kingdom. We pay attention to what's going on. We pray about what we see. We live our citizenship intentionally. What meaning will your life have in 2024? Think like a citizen of the Kingdom. Make your priorities Kingdom priorities. Live like a citizen of the Kingdom.

In order to stay focused, one must learn to concentrate on the information they are to learn.  That takes discipline and perseverance.  That is what the Lord Jesus had in every way.  He was constant in His purpose and His assignment, given to Him by His Father.  We must learn to be that focused.

Worship & Executive Pastor Jonathan Blair continues our series through the book of Philippians by teaching through Philippians 1:12-18. We see how Paul's focus on the Kingdom of God instead of his own kingdom changed his outlook on the circumstances God allowed him to endure.
