Podcasts about Matthew 3

What if America's founders never intended to separate God from government? Exploring George Washington's personal prayer journal reveals a startling truth that challenges everything modern education teaches about our nation's founding.Jesse Cope takes us on a profound journey through Washington's Monday morning prayers, where the father of our country wrote: "Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit." These words aren't from a private citizen merely practicing his personal faith—they're from the man who would shape a nation. How could Washington create a secular government while personally begging God to "direct my thoughts, words and work"?The episode weaves together three crucial threads of American identity: personal faith practices, the sanctity of marriage, and the Christian foundations of our republic. Through an examination of Matthew 3, we see how John the Baptist's simple lifestyle challenges our modern discontent. We're prompted to consider whether we're truly grateful for God's provision or constantly demanding more than He's already blessed us with.Perhaps most provocative is the exploration of liberty's true source. Our founders understood a paradox many have forgotten: while individuals must have freedom to choose their faith, liberty itself cannot survive without Christian principles guiding the nation. As former Speaker of the House Robert Winthrop declared: "Men must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or a power without them, either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man, either by the Bible or by the bayonet."This isn't just history—it's a roadmap for reclaiming America's soul. When we understand that our greatest threats aren't merely political but spiritual forces opposing Christ, we gain clarity about what's truly at stake. Join this journey of rediscovery and consider what role your faith might play in America's future.What daily practices help you connect with God? Have you considered how your personal faith impacts not just your life but your nation's destiny?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Spiritual complacency doesn't just slow our growth—it can blind us to the changes God is calling us to make. In Part 2 of Confronting Complacency, Pastor James D. Gailliard continues unpacking Matthew 3:7-12, challenging us to examine the habits, mindsets, and comforts that may be keeping us from deeper transformation. Just as John the Baptist warned against relying on past righteousness, we, too, must ensure that our faith is active, producing real fruit.

Shepherding Our Hearts with Tina Shepherd and Addy Hine A Bible podcast for ladies Ep154 - Matthew 3:16

Caleb Clardy teaches from Matthew 3:16–4:2 on March 9, 2025In this sermon, we explore the profound connection between fasting, faith, and life's most difficult moments. Through personal experiences of fasting during seasons of tragedy, we see how fasting can bring us into deeper dependence on God. Looking at Jesus' 40-day fast before beginning His ministry, we learn how fasting is not just about self-denial but about spiritual renewal, preparation, and breakthrough. Join us as we reflect on the purpose and power of fasting, and how it can lead us to greater intimacy with God during Lent. Support the show

3 : Gospel of Matthew 3 1. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2. And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4. And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, ; AB church Lausanne

Matthew 3

In this powerful sermon, Pastor James D. Gailliard of Word Tabernacle Church unpacks the significance of wilderness experiences in our spiritual journey. Using Matthew 3:1-6 as a foundation, he explores how seasons of isolation and challenge serve as divine disruptions—drawing us closer to God, refining our faith, and calling us to repentance. Through the ministry of John the Baptist, we discover how the wilderness is not just a place of hardship but a space for transformation and renewal. Tune in to learn how God uses the wilderness to wake us up to His purpose in our lives.Support the showThank you for listening to this podcast! Follow Pastor James D.

Many of us know that baptism is important. But even once you've done it, how is it relevant to daily Christian life?

All three persons of the Godhead are present and active at the baptism of Jesus.  This passage is not only about the commissioning of Jesus for His mission but also about the doctrine of the Trinity. 

To Be Like Him | He Was Baptized | Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; John 1:21-24; Luke 3:21-22 This year, we're studying the gospels as one harmonious story in order to see the glory of God as revealed through them with the clearest picture of God in the person of Jesus painted for us and “To Be Like Him.”In today's sermon, pastor Abie Kulynych discusses Jesus' baptism although He had no sin.

We continue our study in Matthew.  John the Baptist, the last of the OT prophets comes on the scene declaring that the Kingdom of God has come!

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comMatthew 3The last chapter of the Old Testament, Malachi 4, concludes by announcing that God will send “Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.” Matthew reveals this man to be John the Baptist. He is Jesus' cousin, and he lays the foundation for the teachings of Jesus. His message includes vital kingdom elements: repentance of sins, baptism in water, the Holy Spirit, and the fire of judgment. Some who come to him want the ceremonial washing but are unwilling to repent or accept the whole gospel message. John is laying the crucial groundwork for that complete gospel. Jesus, the greater One, would come after him. This begins with John baptizing Jesus as the Spirit descends upon Him and the Father speaks in approval of His “beloved Son.” Our God wants everyone to be saved in Christ. Therefore, He is clear and concise when it comes to how to be saved. John the Baptist's teachings help us see that. Forgiveness of sins was available to anyone who turned from sin with repentant hearts, was baptized in water, and devoted their life to obeying the will of God and His Spirit, with a healthy fear of eternal fire. All of that can be stated in a simple and life-changing way: follow Jesus. He came to do what was right and honor His Father. He was baptized in water “to fulfill all righteousness.” He then lived in the Spirit, full of grace and on a mission for God. In Him, so can we! Wonderful Father, You are above us and greater than us in every possible way. And yet, You have communicated Your will to us so simply and powerfully. Thank You for sending John the Baptist to pave the way for our Savior. Thank you for sending Jesus to be our example, our Teacher, and our victorious King. Help us to be open to the whole gospel in a way that surpasses the Pharisees. Encourage us to live out the teachings of Jesus and to follow His example in all that we do.  Thought Questions:  -       Does the word “repent” carry the same importance in your life as it did to Jesus and John? How do you demonstrate that? -       Is baptism as important to you as it was to Jesus and John? Beyond initial obedience, how do you demonstrate baptism's importance? -       Are you living by faith in the Godhead? How do you show love and honor for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in your daily life?

Matthew 3:7-17

Matthew 3:1-6

In "Repent," Pastor Rob McCoy delivers a message from the book of Matthew, focusing on the humble beginnings of Jesus, born to Mary, and the divine recognition by John the Baptist, even from within the womb. He underscores the significance of repentance as the first message from both Jesus and John, emphasizing it as a foundational element of Christian faith. He calls for a return to God's ways, urging believers to align with the divine plan God had for us before our birth.Verse References: Matthew 3 verses 1-17Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
