Podcasts about Kingdom of Heaven

Fr. Mike explores Jesus' mission of establishing the kingdom of God on earth, and who belongs in the kingdom of Heaven: all people. We see how Jesus identifies himself with the poor, lowly, and those who the world says are not important. If we do not welcome them, we cannot enter the kingdom. Fr. Mike challenges us to examine the fact that in order to gain entry into the kingdom, “one must give everything. Words are not enough; deeds are required.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 541-546.

⚜️ The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within You – Mop Discipleship Podcast Byron explains in this episode Man of Peace Discipleship Podcast The Kingdom of Heaven Is Within You, men come together to grow, challenge each other, and pursue what God has actually called them to become. It's not about casual Christianity—it's about real discipleship, accountability, and walking in the mission God placed on your life. In this episode, many people try to figure out their purpose in their own strength. But God doesn't send you into the world to accomplish something you can do without Him. That's why the Bible says many are called, but few are chosen. The ones who make it are the ones who seek the Creator to understand the mission of the creation. You don't have to live alone. Walk with men who are pursuing the Kingdom. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God To see more, be sure to subscribe to the podcast at

Clip of the Week-"The Kingdom of Heaven" Sister Joanna Basham Saturday evening of Columbia's 2016 Mother's Day meeting Sis. Joanna Basham delivered “The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto….”. From Matthew 13 she reads the parable of the sower explaining that our inheritance is among them that are sanctified while the deceitfulness of riches will choke the Word out. She moves on the parable of the tares to prove we have to be willing to do whatever it takes to make it to heaven!! Our spiritual heroes have been our example in holding up the Word of God and He has blessed them! Brother David Cosby

3/8/26 Message from Andy Smith. Continuing in the series "Imago Dei"

Are you looking forward to the new creation, or mourning the loss of this one? We continue our series on The Kingdom of Heaven today with a look at Isaiah 65:17-25. 

In the Second and Third Petitions we pray for God to give us his Spirit and Word so that we will be strengthened in the faith, look for his Kingdom, and live as his citizens now and forever.

Would you be surprised to learn that Heaven is not a spiritual place, but a physical one? Join us this week in our Kingdom of Heaven series where we look at a passage in 2 Corinthians 4 that teaches about heaven being a phycial place! 

In Matthew 10, Pastor Karl highlights a pivotal transition in Jesus' ministry, where the disciples move from merely observing and admiring Him to being sent out as active participants in His mission. Jesus calls the Twelve, empowers them with authority to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim the kingdom of heaven, and then commissions them to go first to the lost sheep of Israel. This chapter marks a hinge point in the Gospel: following Jesus is not just about learning His teachings or attending gatherings—it demands responsibility, urgency, and full participation in sharing the good news.Jesus is strikingly honest about the cost. He instructs the disciples to travel light, relying completely on God's provision rather than personal security or contingency plans, emphasizing that dependence on Him is central to discipleship. He warns of inevitable resistance: they will face opposition from culture, religious leaders, and even family members, as allegiance to Him can divide households and bring persecution. Yet, Jesus promises divine help—the Spirit will speak through them in moments of trial—and calls for wise, innocent endurance, urging believers to flee persecution when possible not for self-preservation, but to reach more people with the gospel.Ultimately, Pastor Karl challenges the church: a faith that costs nothing accomplishes nothing. The true disciple pledges exclusive allegiance to Jesus, accepting the responsibility to live as radical image-bearers of Christ in the world, no matter the personal price. This message confronts comfort-seeking Christianity and invites every listener to decide if Jesus is worth the cost of true following.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"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

March 1, 2026 Jesus taught Nicodemus that the new birth was necessary for a person to be part of the Kingdom of God.

Message from Mat Köhly on March 1, 2026

Today, we look at the fourth beatitude. A very unique and unusual thing takes place in the original Greek language of Matthew chapter 5 and verse 6. What we discover changes our perspective and points us back to Jesus. If we get to the point that we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we are promised to be filled. It is that righteousness that matters more than all our actions, misdeeds and trouble. To find righteousness itself is quite a treasure.

Send a text In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we slow down over Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus isn't promoting paranoia, a victim mindset, or picking fights—He's preparing apprentices for what happens when Kingdom life collides with the values of the world. We explore what “persecuted” means in the original language, why Jesus qualifies it as suffering for righteousness (not for being difficult), and why He repeats the same promise as the first Beatitude: “theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This episode helps you discern persecution versus consequences, resist bitterness or performative martyrdom, and remain rooted in the present-tense reality of God's Kingdom—even when faithfulness costs you. Support the show If you have any questions about the subjects covered in today's episode you can find us on Facebook at the links below or you can shoot me an email at joe@buddywalkwithjesus.com One Stop Shop for all the links Linktr.ee/happydeamedia

John 2:1-11Matthew 13:31-32“Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustardseed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, butwhen it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds ofthe air come and make nests in its branches.”When have you witnessed something flourishing unexpectedly?What stories of surprising good come to mind?

This time we're delving into the... is it alright to call it a cult classic? The reviled-in-it's-theatrical-cut-but-beloved-in-it's-director's-cut-version Ridley Scott epic, Kingdom of Heaven, form 2005, starring Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. A period drama about the crusades, Kingdom of Heaven tells the story of a guy who's somehow just a bit better at everything than everybody else who shows up in the middle of a bunch of crazy religious people and is asked to fix everything and then angrily ignored until it's unsalvageable. As a relatively lucid American living through the early 21st century, I have never felt more seen. Put your parallel-recognizin' hats on and float along with us, will you?

A sermon from our series The Kingdom of Heaven is Like... - Jesus' parables in Matthew's gospel. Date: 4 January 2026 Speaker: Tom Conyers Matthew 13:24-43 www.stmatthews.com.au/unichurch

For this weeks sermon on The Kingdom of Heaven, we look at a parable Jesus told about a wedding banquet and who was invited! Our passage is found in Matthew 22:1-14. 

In the kingdom of heaven, who will be first, who will be last?

Jason Tyrell is preaching from the Book of Matthew

Jesus preached repentance because it is the doorway into God's kingdom, the necessary human response to God's saving work, and the path to a restored relationship with God.

(Feb 8, 2026)

What is your greatest treasure? This week in our Kingdom of Heaven series we look at a parable Jesus told about a man finding a treasure in a field and selling all he had to buy that field to gain the treasure. This passage is found in Matthew 13:44-46. 

February ``1, 2026. Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how blessed are the disciples of Jesus who not only look forward to the blessedness of heaven, but who experience blessedness here on earth knowing Jesus is with them in their suffering.

We are jumping into 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Have you ever had this thought: “Well, at least I am not as bad as that person!” If you have, you are not alone. As Paul continues his letter to the Corinthians, he lists characteristics we are to avoid. The problem with this list is that we are all on there somewhere; the good news is, we don't have to stay there.

Kingdom Of Heaven Basic Weapon Training

Consider the scene upon that Galilean hillside, dear reader. There ascends a Man—not with tablets of stone borne heavily in His hands, as once did Moses upon Sinai amid thunder and smoke—but with words that burn more fiercely than any fire, words destined to be written not upon rock but upon the living tablets of human hearts.In the old story, Moses climbed the mountain alone, veiled in cloud and terror, to receive the Law that would set a people apart. The Ten Words thundered forth, carving boundaries around conduct, marking what was holy from what was profane. They were good, those commandments; they were the very breath of God restraining the chaos of fallen man. Yet they stood external, like a fence around a garden we could not enter without stumbling.Now behold a greater ascent. Jesus of Nazareth goes up into the mountain, and the crowds follow, not in fear, but drawn by a strange authority that mingles majesty with meekness. He sits (as teachers do), yet speaks as One who needs no intermediary. Where Moses mediated between God and man, this Man is the mediation. Where Moses brought down stone inscribed by the finger of God, this Man brings down Himself – the living Word, the very finger of God made flesh.He does not abolish the ancient Law; no, He fulfills it to its utmost depth. “You have heard that it was said... but I say to you.” With each repetition, the old commandment is not merely repeated but plunged into the hidden springs of the soul. Murder becomes anger unchecked; adultery becomes lust entertained; oaths become the simple honesty of “yes” and “no.” The Law, once a boundary line drawn upon the ground, is now revealed as a mountain peak we are called to scale but this, it's not by our own strength, but by the power of the One who has already reached the summit and beckons us upward.And yet, who among us can hear these words without a secret shrinking? The Beatitudes pronounce blessing upon poverty of spirit, upon mourning, upon meekness; these qualities we possess only in fragments, if at all. The command to love enemies, to turn the other cheek, to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect strikes like a sledgehammer upon our self-sufficiency. We are not flattered; we are exposed. The mountain does not flatter the climber; it humbles him.So let no one suppose the Sermon on the Mount is a counsel of despair. It is, rather, the map of joy. It is the narrow path that leads to life. In Christ, the old commandments find their fulfillment, and the new commandment of love becomes not a burden but a liberation. Ascend, then, with Him; listen to His voice upon the mountain; and find that the Lawgiver has become the Law fulfilled, the Teacher the Truth incarnate, the Moses greater than Moses, leading us home. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

Do you find it hard to refrain from judgment of others who are different from you? It's week 5 of our series The Kingdom of Heaven. This week we take a look at Matthew 13:24-43 when Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds. 

Matthew 5:1-16

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260131dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 4:23 The Lamb of God Takes Away Our Sins Matthew uses the word “kingdom” fifty-four times in his Gospel. The “kingdom” Jesus is talking about is not a place, but rather the saving activity of God. For example, in Matthew 13:24, we see that “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed seed…” This is a picture of the way God gathers people into heaven by means of the gospel. The “good news (gospel) of the kingdom” is the message about how God gathers us to be his people. Part of the message is repentance—sorrow for sins and turning to Jesus for forgiveness. Another important part is God’s assurance that our sins are forgiven. For people living in an uncertain world, a world filled with tragedy, disaster, war, anger, fear, doubt, loneliness, and guilt, the assurance from God that our sins are forgiven is the only remedy. Jesus spread this remedy around and also gave people convincing proof that his message was true by performing miracles. No wonder people came from all around. He spoke words that gave people eternal life and true hope. Jesus has also spoken to us. We have his gospel message, which assures us that our sins are forgiven. We are not held accountable before God for our sins because the guilt of all our sins was laid on Jesus. As our Savior, he rescued us from the death we deserved for our sins. He fully completed the work of our salvation. Yet the activity of God's kingdom continues. The message about Christ and his completed work still needs to be spread through the saving Word of God. Who better to do that than you and me, who have the peace of Jesus in our hearts? Prayer: Jesus, amid many difficulties and challenges of my life, I am so grateful for the peace that comes from knowing you as my Savior. You established your kingdom in me by faith, now rule my life always with your loving power and tender mercy. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

After the rich young ruler walks away, Jesus tells His disciples something shocking: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Dr. John Neufeld explores Matthew 19:23-30, where Jesus reassures His astonished disciples that what's impossible with man is possible with God, and promises that those who leave everything to follow Him will receive a hundredfold and eternal life. This episode challenges us to ask: what are you really trusting in?The Ministry of Our Lord: Join Dr. John Neufeld for a journey through Matthew 19-20, where Jesus makes His final trip to Jerusalem. The crowds are growing, expecting triumph and glory. But what Jesus teaches is startling: humility over greatness, sacrifice over power. This Messiah will not rule from a throne—He will reign from a cross. Discover what it means to follow a suffering King.
