In this compelling sermon, Pastor Karl dives into Matthew Chapters 3 and part of 4, introducing John the Baptist and the launch of Jesus' public ministry. He explores the radical call to repentance as forward-facing surrender, the humble wilderness ministry of John—clothed in camel hair and heralding the coming Messiah—and the dramatic baptism where heaven breaks open with the Trinity on full display. Pastor Karl then examines Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, revealing how Satan attacks God's provision, protection, and promises, and how Jesus defeats every lie with Scripture alone. He emphasizes that repentance is not a one-time event but a lifestyle that prepares the way for the kingdom, that true faith bears fruit, and that heaven meets obedience with strength. Join us for a powerful message that calls every believer to repent, resist the devil, and trust God's Word in every trial.

What if repentance isn't what you think it is?When Jesus began His ministry, His first word was metanoia—often translated as "repent." But this ancient Greek term means far more than turning from sin. It's a complete reorientation of mind, heart, and life toward God's indwelling presence.In this episode, host Donald E. Coleman unpacks the transformative power of "The Turn"—exploring how true spiritual change begins not with behavioral modification, but with a sacred return to your identity in Christ.In this episode, you'll discover:The profound biblical meaning of metanoia and why it's central to spiritual formationHow Jesus' call in Matthew 4 and Paul's teaching in Romans 12 reveal the path to transformationWhy the false self and egoic attachments block your experience of God's restPractical ways to create a daily rhythm of sacred pause and divine reorientationThe difference between religious striving and surrendered presenceThis episode is for you if:You feel stuck in a religious routine or exhausted by spiritual performanceYou're sensing God's invitation to something deeper, but don't know where to startYou want to understand what true transformation looks like beyond behavior changeYou're ready to let go of control and return to the One already waiting for youMetanoia isn't about trying harder—it's about turning toward the presence of God that's already within you. This is your invitation to begin again. Join Donald as he explores how true surrender marks the path toward deeper intimacy with Christ and opens the door to a life formed by God's Agape."Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

In this week's message, we explore Matthew 4, where Jesus begins His public ministry and declares that the kingdom of God has come near. Pastor Brad Beers shows how this passage calls us to radical repentance — a complete change of heart that turns us from self-sufficiency to full dependence on God. Just as Jesus […] The post Matthew 4 – The Revolution Begins appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.
Because the kingdom of heaven is at hand, you should drop everything and follow Jesus.Every human being is a follower of someone or something. At the end of Matthew 4, Jesus announces that the kingdom of heaven is near and calls his first disciples to follow him. In this sermon, we examine what it means to drop everything and follow Jesus in light of the kingdom of heaven.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a firsthand look at the life and teachings of Jesus. It stands as a “bridge” between the Old and New Testaments, grounding us in the rich story of Israel while revealing the in-breaking reality of the kingdom of heaven. Through this preaching series, we seek to help people encounter the gospel of the kingdom and embody it as flourishing disciples who live under the gracious rule of God.
Send me a Text Message!We've been talking about the beatitudes as a pathway to God's blessings. The blessings of God found in the Kingdom of God are amazing, but they rarely come easy. They require a "don't quit grit" that says, no matter what I'm going for it. And it all starts with "Blessed are the poor in Spirit." Blessed are the desperate, the begging poor in spirit. If you are poor in spirit, desperately broken, barely hanging on to a thin rope of hope, blessed are you. If you don't quit, blessing is on the way. When Jesus came on the scene announcing that the Kingdom of Heaven was here, the people understood him to say, "It's a new day. I know life has been hard, oppression, poverty, crucifixions every day. But listen, don't quit; a new day is dawning!"That's my hope and message in this episode. Don't quit, don't you dare quit!
Not only did Jesus proclaim His message, He demonstrated it. Us as His followers are called to do the same.Tune in this week as Pastor Westley continues our series through the book of Matthew, focusing in on chapter 4, verses 23 through 25.If you would like to partner with BLVD Church and what we are doing in the community, you can make an investment of support at https://blvd.church/give

Because Jesus resisted temptation, you can too.Temptation isn't a religious thing; it's a human thing. Every human being recognizes that there are things they are tempted by. But what's the solution? In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus himself is tempted, yet he fully resists. In this sermon, we explore the fact that because Jesus resisted temptation, you can too.Series Description: Jesus is the hero of all of Scripture, the center of the biblical story, and the most important figure in history.

After forty days of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus faces three temptations from Satan and responds with Scripture alone. Following John's arrest, Jesus moves to Capernaum in Galilee to begin His public ministry, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy about light dawning in darkness. He calls four fishermen to follow Him and begins teaching in synagogues, preaching the kingdom, and healing throughout the region. Matthew 4 shows Christ succeeding where Israel failed and launching the mission that would transform the world. The Rev. Roger Mullet, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Buffalo, WY, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 4. To learn more about Prince of Peace, visit princeofpeacebuffalo.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
