Podcasts about Matthew 4

The spiritual foundations of America stand at a crossroads. In this deeply reflective episode, Jesse Cope tackles the challenging question of what truly lies at the heart of American liberty—and whether we can preserve it without returning to our Christian roots.Jesse begins with a soul-searching examination of personal priorities. "Have you made time for God today?" he asks, before extending this question to our relationships: "If you're married, do you act like it? Does your spouse know it?" These probing questions set the tone for an episode that consistently challenges listeners to align their professed beliefs with their daily actions.Drawing from William Manchester's biography of Winston Churchill, Jesse explores how propaganda tactics have been employed throughout history to manipulate public perception. He draws unsettling parallels between Nazi Germany's misinformation campaigns and modern cultural battles over education, gender ideology, and parental rights. These historical lessons serve as a warning about what happens when societies drift from their moral anchors.The heart of the episode centers on George Washington's prayer journal—a powerful historical document that reveals America's first president as a man deeply committed to Christian faith and principles. Washington's humble prayers, seeking divine guidance in both personal conduct and national leadership, directly challenge contemporary narratives that suggest America's founders intended to create a secular nation. "There's no way they looked for this kind of guidance from God and Jesus Christ and then wanted to create a country where God had no role," Jesse observes.Through an examination of Matthew 4, Jesse confronts the many forms of modern idolatry that compete for our allegiance—from careers and entertainment to social media and materialism. His candid self-reflection creates space for listeners to honestly assess their own spiritual priorities.Ready to reconnect with America's spiritual heritage? Listen now and discover how the prayers of Washington might still guide our nation through today's challenges. Then share this episode with someone struggling to see the connection between faith and liberty in our increasingly divided culture.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Jesus calls his first disciples to leave everything and follow him, emphasizing that true discipleship means actively following Jesus and helping others do the same. Pastor Kyle's message challenges the watered-down definition of "Christian," urging believers to embrace their identity as disciples committed to multiplying followers of Jesus.

Changing the world starts with changing our hearts—and that's where following Jesus comes in. The real work of transformation begins when we turn away from our old ways, choose to live with Him at the center, and surrender our personal ambitions to His mission. Jesus invites us to follow Him into new life, a life that's focused on loving God and loving others. When we choose to follow Him, we become part of His mission to bring healing and hope to the world.

In this week's message, Pastor James Gailliard challenges us with the call to discipleship in Leaving Our Nets. When Jesus invites us to follow Him, it requires faith to let go of what's familiar in exchange for what's divine. Through Matthew 4:18–25, we're reminded that divine disruptions often come with a decision—will we hold on to comfort or follow Christ into purpose? Tune in to learn how leaving our “nets” can lead to greater impact, deeper faith, and true transformation.Support the showThank you for listening to this podcast! Follow Pastor James D.

The wilderness is not wasted—it's a battleground for spiritual growth. In this sermon, Pastor James Gailliard explores Wilderness Warfare, revealing how the enemy tempts us in the areas of provision, presumption, and power. When pressured to meet legitimate needs in illegitimate ways, we must remain faithful to God. True obedience means trusting His provision without testing His authority and resisting anything that pulls us away from Him. Tune in to learn how to stand firm in spiritual battles and navigate divine disruptions with unwavering faith.Support the showThank you for listening to this podcast! Follow Pastor James D.

Who can follow Jesus? Anyone who trusts the Lord Jesus Christ follows him with their lives. It's really that simple. Background doesn't matter. Gifts don't matter. Skills don't matter. Experience doesn't matter. Only faith matters.

The Gospel of Matthew | Week 5 | Matthew 4:1-11 by Refuge Community Church

Matthew 4:17–22 (CSB) "From then on Jesus began to preach, 'Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.' As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. 'Follow me,' he told them, 'and I will make you fish for people.' 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him."

Pastor Brandon Bellomo 3/9/25

In Ephesians 6:11,13, Paul commands us to put on the whole Armour of God (which God provides to us through His Word). Then in v14-18 he describes the 7 pieces of the Armour of God. Derek shares about the Belt of Truth and how to put it on (v14), and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word (rhema) of God (v17), and how they work together. The Belt of Truth consists of God's Word (John 17:17), which we are to put on tight by wrapping our heart around with His commands and promises, bringing our thoughts into alignment (1Pet 1:13). Our Belt consists of the Word of God that we know and have embraced until it is part of us. It is the foundational piece of Armour, which is why it is mentioned first (the sword, shield and breastplate were attached to it). If loose, the whole armour falls apart. The Sword of the Spirit fits in the Belt. In a fight, a soldier pulls his sword from his belt. Likewise, in a spiritual fight, we pull a Scripture-Sword from our Belt of Scriptures as quickened by the Spirit, and put in our mouth and speak it. It will then go forth in the power of the Spirit against the enemy. God's Word is like a sharp sword (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus used His Sword 3 times to defeat Satan, saying: "it is written" (Matthew 4:3-10). For the Sword to work we must first have our Belt on tight (know the Word well). We also see the Sword in action in Revelation 12:11, Isaiah 54:17, and Psalm 149:6-9.

Matthew 4:12–17 (NASB95) "Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: 'THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES— THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED.' From that time Jesus began to preach and say, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'"

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus our teacher into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his teaching found in scripture. Today's episode is found in Matthew 4 "Make it Practical".

Jesus accomplished what Adam did not, which Israel did not, and which we do not.  This passage puts on display the active obedience of Christ.  He not only serves as the perfect example in resisting temptation, but He resists temptation for us.  

Seminarian Samuel Radermacher

Matthew 4:1–11The Temptation of Jesus[1] Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. [2] And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. [3] And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” [4] But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” [5] Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple [6] and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,' and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'” [7] Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'” [8] Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. [9] And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” [10] Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'” [11] Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. (ESV)
