Most of us have some version of church we've settled for. Show up. Sit down. Go home. But what if that's nowhere near what the church was actually designed to be?In Acts 2, the earliest followers of Jesus didn't just attend something — they were devoted to something. Devoted to each other. Devoted to prayer, Scripture, meals, and radical generosity. And the result? People noticed. Lives changed. The community grew — not because of a marketing strategy, but because they were genuinely becoming something different together.In this message, we explore what it looks like for a church to live into its full potential — and what's at stake when we settle for less.You'll walk away thinking about:Commitment — Some commitments require a "yes" even when you don't feel like it. What does it look like to be truly devoted to a community, not just a Sunday service?Maturity — Spiritual growth isn't a solo project. You don't become more like Jesus in isolation. Your development is connected to the people around you — and the community you're willing to stay committed to.Calling — Every person in the church is a minister. Every home is a center of ministry. The question isn't whether you have a role to play — it's whether you're playing it.This isn't a guilt trip about church attendance. It's an invitation to something far more meaningful than a weekly hour on Sunday.

You weren't placed where you are by accident. Joshua 21 reveals a surprising truth: God scatters His people on purpose—for ministry, for mission, and for something greater than this world. As a believer, you are part of that plan. Live like it.

Abstract: This article proposes that priesthood keys are of two general categories: 1) keys of authority and 2) keys of knowledge. The keys of authority are the type most often discussed in meetings and classrooms, and thus, are relatively familiar. However, keys of knowledge, though an extension of the keys of authority, may be less familiar. The word key in this second case is used in a broad sense, including the keys of both knowledge and intelligence, which are richly featured in the revelations of the Doctrine and Covenants, as well as in the teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. After some preliminaries, I examine the keys of authority and the keys of knowledge. Then, I demonstrate that keys of knowledge can also be of two sorts: 1) formally revealed scriptural keys of knowledge and 2) informally revealed non-scriptural keys of knowledge. The paper finishes with a related discussion of the special keys of authority and power (if not also knowledge) that Jesus Christ holds over death, hell, and final judgment. The post Joseph Smith and the Twin Priesthood Keys of Authority and Knowledge first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

Hosts Susanne McNinch and Chez Filippini talk with Fr. Tom Collins, pastor of Holy Spirit Parish in Perdido Key, about how God led him from a promising career in the Air Force as a chemical engineer to the priesthood through a powerful moment of prayer, and reflects on nearly 33 years of ministry—from campus ministry at Florida State to opening preschools and shepherding a diverse coastal parish.

Murder at the Altar: The High Priest Whodunnit & The Power of the Temple It was a quiet night in Jerusalem. A new shift of priests arrives at the perpetually burning fire of the altar, only to find the High Priest Yehoshua murdered in cold blood. The prime suspect? His own brother. Welcome back to the History of Judaism. In this episode, we investigate a true ancient crime that shook the foundation of the post-exilic Jewish world. But to understand why this murder happened, we must first understand the immense power of the Temple, the ancient concept of sacrifice, and the political weight of the Priesthood. In this episode, we explore: The Anatomy of the Temple: Stripping away modern misconceptions to understand the Temple in Jerusalem not as a metaphor, but as the absolute, physical epicenter of ancient Jewish spiritual life. The Zadokite Dynasty: A deep dive into the origins of the High Priests, the CEO-like power they wielded, and the original, political meaning behind the title of "Messiah" (the anointed one). The Elephantine Connection: Cross-referencing the writings of Josephus with a fascinating mirror narrative from a Jewish military outpost on an island in the Nile River. Palace Intrigue: How the stewardship of the Temple descended into the political maneuverings of the Persian Empire, setting the stage for a visionary new leader. "A History of Medieval England is a History of Kings... A History of Judaism after 500 BCE is a History of Priests, and very often warring priests."

Jesus' priesthood is man's only hope of drawing near to God.

It is my privilege to invite you to today's sermon podcast. This message walks through Hebrews 7 and the figure of Melchizedek to show how Jesus fulfills a superior, eternal priesthood beyond the old Levitical system. You'll hear why the old priesthood could not fully restore us, how Christ's priesthood gives direct access to God, and practical responses—access, allegiance, and generous living—called for by that truth. ---- A Better Priesthood Hebrews 7:1–10 Main Idea: Jesus gives us better access to God, a better basis for acceptance, and a better claim on our lives.  Introduction: “Who do I confess to?”  Why Do We Need a Better Priesthood? The old priesthood couldn't bring us home (Hebrews 7:1–4) The old process: sin → priest → sacrifice → ceremonial restoration.  The Law and sacrifices revealed sin but could not fully restore us to God. Jesus gives us a better priesthood (Hebrews 7:1–3; Genesis 14:18–20) The mysterious Melchizedek A king of righteousness, king of peace, and priest of God Most High. Jesus is our eternal High Priest, greater than the Levitical priesthood. A better priesthood calls for a better response (Hebrews 7:4–10) Access: Draw near to Christ with confidence. Allegiance: Trust Him fully Generosity: Worship Him with your life.  Conclusion: “We are saved for a purpose!” Trust Jesus as your High Priest. Lay down a “lesser priesthood” and renew trust in Christ. Choose a specific way to obey Christ in generosity and surrender. ---- Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect   With Pastor Mike Curry.

By Nathan Ekama - The role of the priesthood was widely varied in the OT. When we consider what their past role was and what their future role will be, we see that it is far more than just sacrificing animals. The main functions of the priesthood are: A - First and foremost to preserve life. B - Turn many away from

Have you ever wondered what a priest actually thinks and feels at the end of the day? The real joys, the tough times, and everything in between? In this honest, funny, and laid-back conversation, we open up about our seminary years, the brotherhood that still means everything to us, what being a spiritual father to a whole community is actually like, and the very human side of priesthood that most people never see. We talk about the formation that shaped us, the frustrations that come with the job, the humility we try to lean on, and why we still need confession and support just like everyone else. Whether you're curious about priest life, thinking about discernment, or just want to understand us better, sit down with us over some food and hear our real story. Featuring: Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel – John 14:27-31a – Jesus said to His disciples: “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over Me, but the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded Me.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day

St. Peter says we are a priestly people who  offer spiritual sacrifices to God.  What does it mean to have a "priestly soul"?  How can we make our hearts altars of a burning love of God?  How can we be mediators and peacemakers between God and men?

This continuation of the Intro to Christian Theology series covers the priesthood of Christ, including his active and passive obedience and the nature of his satisfactory death.

In this episode, hosts Scott Woodward, Casey Griffiths and Lisa Tait explore the powerful and often overlooked theme of Joseph Smith's vision of women as part of a “kingdom of priests.” From the earliest days of the Restoration in 1830, Joseph Smith taught expansive ideas about spiritual authority, inviting women into sacred spaces like the temple and organizing the Relief Society with language that echoed priesthood power, purpose, and covenant identity. Women in the early Church blessed the sick, participated in temple ordinances, and understood themselves as active contributors in building God's kingdom—not just as supporters, but as partners in a divine work rooted in shared access to heavenly power. As the Church grew and developed through the 19th and 20th centuries, the way these teachings were interpreted and practiced shifted, leading to a more formal distinction between priesthood office and women's roles. Yet the original vision of a covenant community—where women and men alike are endowed with spiritual power—continues to shape conversations today. This episode traces that journey from Joseph Smith's Nauvoo teachings to the present, highlighting both the continuity and the tension in how Latter-day Saint women relate to priesthood authority, and inviting viewers to reconsider what it means to truly become a “kingdom of priests” in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

 President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taught, "The singing of hymns is one of the best ways to learn the doctrine of the restored gospel." As new songs are added to “Hymns for Home and Church,” including music written for Primary children, that teaching and testifying power is evident for people of all ages. In this episode of the Church News podcast, Sister Kathleen F. Kelly of the Primary general advisory council and Ryan Eggett, a music manager in the Church's Priesthood and Family Department, join Church News reporter Mary Richards. Together, they talk about the power of sacred music to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as strengthen and fortify testimony. The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Hosts Jon Ryan Jensen, editor of the Church News, and Church News reporter Mary Richards share unique views of the stories, events, and people who form this international faith.

In this episode, hosts Scott Woodward, Casey Griffiths, and Lisa Olsen Tait explore the rich and often overlooked history of women's interaction with temple worship in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Beginning in the era of Joseph Smith, they examine how women participated in sacred ordinances, contributed to temple preparation, and understood their relationship to priesthood power within these holy spaces. Tracing developments from the early days of the Church through the 20th century, the discussion highlights how women's roles in temple work expanded and adapted over time. From the Nauvoo Temple to later temple practices, the hosts uncover key moments, teachings, and experiences that shaped women's spiritual authority and participation. This episode offers thoughtful insight into how temple worship has been a central place for women to engage with covenant-making, service, and the power of God throughout LDS history.

“Is being unmarried a call to priesthood?” This question opens a discussion on the relationship between personal vocation and divine calling, while also addressing how to explain the Rosary to Protestants and the nature of purgatory. Other topics include principles for giving to the poor and the implications of Vatican II’s teachings on interfaith worship. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:27 – I'm 32 and unmarried. Is this a sign I'm called to priesthood? Married life is still preferable, but I believe whether I'm a priest or married is up to God, not me. 08:35 – How do I explain and defend the Rosary to Protestants? 18:50 – Why isn't purgatory instant? Why does it need to exist in general? 23:35 – Should we give money to people living on the streets? What’s a good general principle for giving to the poor? 37:32 – Can you explain Vatican II's teaching that we worship the same God as Jews and Muslims? It seems anti-trinitarian to me. 49:15 – How do you balance calling out heresy with being kind to your opponent in debate? When are you more direct vs. more charitable? 53:30 – Responding to an atheist dilemma. Is Jesus' sacrifice really a “Sacrifice” at all if he knew he was coming back? How do I respond to this?
