We are part of God's royal family—how does royalty behave? In this message, Kris Vallotton shares wisdom and insight about what it means to live as royalty. Christians are called to lead boldly with their lives. We have a responsibility to live up to a standard worth inviting others into. Practically speaking, what does that mean? What does it look and sound like in our everyday moments, including challenging situations? How do our personal lives impact the way we show up everywhere else? Listen with us as we hear stories from Kris's life throughout the years and how the Bible instructs us to walk out our lives. We pray that this insightful sermon brings you both encouragement and inspiration that strengthens your faith!

4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone,and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”[b] 7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”[c] 8 and, “A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.”[d] They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-love-trust--3493635/support.

Fresh off his sabbatical, Pastor Ian Thornton continues our series on the Royal Priesthood by diving into the history of biblical priesthood, and contrasting it with what personal priesthood looks like for us. Our perception of royalty and priesthood may be skewed by images of ancient priests and even modern royalty, but we are called to imitate Jesus, our Great High Priest King. May our hearts be encouraged in our royal priestly calling through this word.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about the importance of living a life of holiness to the Lord. She talks about the example that was given in the old testament when the tabernacle was prepped for the presence of God. The detailed steps showcased God's desire for reverence and holiness. The tabernacle was a foreshadowing of Christ – his shedding of blood for our sins and the tearing of the veil between us and God. His desire for holiness hasn't changed in the new covenant. We, his people, are a Royal Priesthood, and our hearts must be pure and solely surrendered to Him. Scripture references: John 15, 1 Peter 1-2, Exodus 28, 1 Samuel 14:41, Leviticus 19:2, Hebrews 5:1-14, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

This sermon from First Peter Chapter 2 explores what it means to be part of God's royal priesthood as Christians living in a post-Christian society. Pastor emphasizes that believers are called to live set apart in the world to reveal the One who set them apart. Just as the early Christians faced persecution under Emperor Nero, today's believers must maintain their distinct identity while conducting themselves honorably, even toward authorities they may disagree with. The sermon highlights Jesus as the cornerstone of our faith and explains how Christians are living stones being built into a spiritual house.The pastor mentioned that 'our mouth reveals our heart.' How have you seen this play out in your own life or in the lives of others?In verse 2, Peter compares our need for God's Word to a newborn's need for milk. How would you describe your current hunger for Scripture? What practical steps could you take to develop a deeper desire for God's Word?What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith? What happens when we build our lives on other foundations?The sermon emphasized that we are 'living stones' being built into a spiritual house. How does this metaphor change how you view your role in the church?Peter calls believers to 'honor everyone' and even to honor authorities we might disagree with. Why is this so challenging, and how can we practice this in today's polarized society?What does it mean to be part of a 'royal priesthood'? How should this identity affect our daily lives outside the church walls?The pastor stated that 'any gospel that does not require submission to Christ and the denial of our flesh is a false gospel.' How have you seen this truth challenged in today's culture?How would you answer the pastor's reflection question: 'What has changed about me since becoming a disciple of Christ?'Support the show

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Drawing from Acts, Revelation, and John's Gospel, we'll dive into what it means to be part of something eternal and radiant: the Kingdom of God.
