How Kingdom Life Works For Citizens Like Us - Samuel Rodgers Hope Church

In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings continue their series on Kingdom realities by exploring a powerful truth: the Gospel often meets us at our deepest point of need. For some, it's forgiveness. For others, it's healing, freedom, belonging, comfort, purpose, or hope. Michael and SJ share deeply personal stories of how God met them in seasons of desperation and transformed their understanding of the Gospel. SJ recounts one of the darkest chapters of his life—walking through divorce, estrangement from his son, PTSD, and months of suicidal thoughts. In the middle of that despair, a simple phone call from his sister and the truth of Isaiah 55 became an anchor that changed everything. Together, they explore the idea of a "customized Gospel"—not a different Gospel, but the many ways the one Gospel reveals itself to meet people exactly where they are. The conversation highlights how our personal stories shape the way we first experience Jesus and reminds us that there is always more of His Kingdom available than we may have previously understood. Michael and SJ also reflect on the verses, songs, and moments that become "posters on the walls of our hearts"—truths God uses to sustain us through every season of life. Whether you're walking through pain, searching for hope, or simply wanting to understand the Gospel more deeply, this episode is a reminder that Jesus meets people personally, compassionately, and right where they are.

This week on Ministry Minute, we delve into a brand new message entitled “The Kingdom Life.” We talk about the importance of seeking God's kingdom first, as stated in Matthew 6:33, and living a kingdom-centered life. We discuss the struggle between the flesh and the spirit, emphasizing the need to lean on God rather than our own understanding. #JesusLovesYou #Kingdom #MinistryMinuteThe Kingdom Life | Ministry Minute EP322Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and transgressions. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/productions/ministryminute

What does it mean to live the Kingdom Life in Christ? Is it just recognizing you're saved...or a faith that shows by your loving obedience and points others to Him? Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (2 Thessalonians 5:17; Romans 12:2; Galatians 2:20)!

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also.” - Colossians 3:12-13  “As moral activity develops, he [the child] wants to use his own judgment, which often will be quite different from that of his teachers. There is nothing more difficult than to teach moral values to a child of this age; he gives an immediate retort to everything that we say, having become a rebel…An inner change has taken place, but nature is quite logical in arousing now in the child not only a hunger for knowledge and understanding, but a claim to mental independence, a desire to distinguish good from evil by his own powers, and to resent limitation by arbitrary authority. In the field of morality, the child now stands in need of his own inner light.” Maria Montessori, To Educate the Human Potential, pg 4    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study    Anna and Kerri discuss the article Grace and Courtesy in the Elementary Community by Elise Huneke-Stone and what Grace and Courtesy looks like in the level two and three atria.   Read the article HERE      Podcasts about Second Plane Child:  139: What to try when things seem to be failing with Cathy Johanni  124: Work of the Second Plane Child      Books you might be interested in:  The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds  History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa  History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom  Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues      BECOME A CGSUSA MEMBER    CGS 7 Minute Video      CGS Atrium Locator - Please check if your church atrium in in our atrium locator.  If not, please send this link to the COORDINATOR of your CGS program to add your atrium to the locator.

The Kingdom of God is diametrically different to the kingdoms of this world. The Kingdom runs on a completely different operating system, it is governed by different rules, laws and principles. Only through learning of those principles can one TRULY experience the kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven!

Ann tells us about this unique theologian, helps us explore the similarities in his work and those of Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti as well as where we can see his influence in the work of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.     Ann Garrido has been a catechist of the Good Shepherd since 1996.  She has served as a catechist and formation leader at all three levels.  Ann is an Associate Professor and Director of the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri.  She is the author of multiple works, including her newest book Redeeming Power about the healthy and holy exercise of leadership.  Ann Garrido's website HERE      “Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability- and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you, your ideas mature gradually- let them grow, let them shape themselves without undue haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that God's hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Making of a Mind, from a letter written July 4, 1915    “The Son of God became man so that man might become God” - St Althanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, On the Incarnation    Website on the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership     CGS Heritage     A good biography of Teilhard       Podcasts about CGS Heritage/Influencers:  109: Father Dalmazio Mongillo  92: Who was Adele Costa Gnocchi  78: A Glimpse of Gianna Gobbi  76: Romano Guardini  71: A Glimpse at Sofia  68: Eugenio Zolli  60: Pioneers of CGS with Betty Hissong  57: Celebrating the Life of Tina Lillig    Podcasts Episodes with Ann Garrido:  Episode 19 – Typology with Ann Garrido   Episode 53 – The Birth and Infancy of Jesus with Ann Garrido   Episode 59 – Preaching with Children with Ann Garrido   Episode 68 – The CGS Heritage – Eugenio Zolli with Ann Garrido   Episode 111.

God invites us to experience "A Kingdom Life"—a journey that offers total redemption from your past, supernatural power for your today, and an unshakable hope for your future. This life begins with the essential step of repentance, which isn't just a feeling of guilt, but a complete transformation of your heart and purpose. Ultimately, we are called to move beyond outward rituals and embrace the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit, choosing the path of the Kingdom to avoid the emptiness of a life lived apart from Him.

For the past two weeks, we've mentioned an upcoming study with Jeremy Walker. This week, we're pleased to announce that our new study with Dr. Stephen Yuille is now available. Dr. Yuille's study focuses on the longest recorded sermon of Jesus Christ—the Sermon on the Mount. In this episode, Dr. John Snyder asks Dr. Yuille about the personal impact this portion of Scripture has had on his life and why he chose to teach it. The conversation then turn to how God has used it in Dr. Snyder's ministry in shaping the life of Christ Church New Albany over the years. You can find more information about the study at the link in the show notes.

Pastor Joe's Sunday morning sermon entitled, "Kingdom Life, Part 4 - The King Who Sends Us". This sermon covers 2 Corinthians 5:9-21.

SUCCEEDING AT KINGDOM LIFE ABUNDANCE

What if the reason that you are not making progress is not a lack of effort? What if trying harder is reinforcing the very outcomes that you are trying to escape?It is not always a question of doing more. It may be a question of doing the same things from the same patterns and expecting to get different results.The issue is not about effort alone. Something within your own psychology is already shaping your outcomes.Scripture reminds us that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.Over time, the way you think begins to shape the way your life responds. What is repeated becomes familiar, and what becomes familiar begins to run automatically, even worse so, when it is no longer serving your best interests.For many, success is not random and failure is not accidental. Failure is actually the outworking of patterns that have gone unchallenged.But i want to announce to you that there is a higher way to function, in which your mindset, your gifts, your skills, your tools begin to work together in a multiplier effect, producing value and bountiful opportunities.It begins with understanding that you have two minds - yes, you do have two minds - and you must learn how to engage one to help you reset the other. One is called the manual mind, and the other is called the automated mind. You can actually automate success in every area of your life, if you understand your two minds.

Episode 165. Building of Relationship with Carolyn Kohlhaas  “If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.”   Psalm 130: 3-4    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study  "Moral existence is a response to the Lord's loving initiative. It is the acknowledgement and homage given to God and a worship of thanksgiving. It is cooperation with the plan God pursues in history." Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2062    “To teach morality, the catechist must be convinced that at its roots is love, and then proceed from that principle. Morality emerges from love. We must never wander far from this source, not even when we teach explicitly the Law, which shows us the way we must follow to reach God. The entire Law has been summarized by Jesus in the two commandments of love, and He has made love the badge of allegiance. ‘One cannot obey more than one loves,' wrote the prior of the Little Brothers of Jesus.” (Teaching Doctrine and Liturgy)    “We can never stress too much the necessity of anchoring every moral teaching in a solid, kerygmatic orientation. Before providing specific instructions of what I am to do, moral formation must tell me with whom I do it, for whom I do it, with whom I am in relationship. Often we rush to action without having given enough thought to these primary questions.” (RPCII, 83)  “The primary and fundamental attitude of the person educated in the moral life is the awareness of belonging: to belong to God, to belong to God's world, to belong to humanity.”- Father Mongillo  Carolyn joins the conversation today to walk us through how morality evolves and progresses in a child's life and how we can meet those needs in all levels of the atria.  Carolyn Kohlhaas is a nationally recognized Formation Leader for CGS at all three levels of formation. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology and in Religious Education from Franciscan University of Steubenville and her AMI Primary (3-6) and Elementary (6-12) Level Certifications from the Montessori Training Center of Minnesota. Carolyn has a Master of Education degree (Loyola College, Maryland) as well as a Master of Arts in Theology (St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity). She has worked with children in Atriums in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis since 2006 and with adults in formation courses across the US since 2009.  wosatrium.weebly.com      Books you might be interested in:  Development of the Rome Atrium  The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Year Olds  History of the Kingdom of God Part 1: Creation to Parouisa  History of the Kingdom of God Part 2: Liturgy and the Building of the Kingdom  Life in the Vine: The Joyful Journey Continues    Podcast Episodes you might be interested in:  Episode 34 – The Paschal Mystery  Episode 55 – Cosmic Education      TINA LILIG MEMORIAL FUND  During the month of February, we remember our first national director, Valentina Lillig, and we honor her legacy by encouraging generosity to the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund.     The mission of the Tina Lillig Memorial Fund is to support the growth and development of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd through catechist formation, missionary outreach, and the work of the United States Association of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGSUSA). To these ends, the TLM Fund offers a source of financial aid (in the form of partial scholarships) to applicants who would find paying the full tuition of a course to be a hardship.    If you or your community needs scholarship or grant support for formation, please visit our website and apply [this could be a link in the show notes]. The next deadline for applications is April 30. Thank you to all the donors who have generously supported the TLM Fund and made formation courses possible for catechists across the US and the world.      BECOME A CGSUSA MEMBER          AUDIOBOOK:    Audiobook – Now Available on Audible  CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz!  The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd
