About This SeriesMany of us are endlessly chasing things that will never truly satisfy. We live in a world obsessed with temporary things—money, success, approval, comfort. But Jesus invites us into His Kingdom—a way of life that turns the world's values upside down and fills us with real purpose, hope, and joy. Kingdom Come is a five-week journey that will challenge us to shift our focus from earthly pursuits to eternal priorities and to live as Kingdom people in a world that desperately needs to see and know the grace of Jesus.This Week's EpisodeWe spend our lives chasing after temporary things. But Jesus gives us a radical command: seek first the Kingdom of God. What if our priorities were different? What if, instead of striving for temporary things, we realign our lives with what truly matters and trust that when we put God first, everything else falls into place?Ready For More?Check out firstchristian.com to find opportunities to connect and grow.We'd love to see you this coming Sunday on-campus or streaming online at 9 and 11am.Follow @fcccanton on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay connected!Support the show

This week, Stephen and Morgan Williams join Stephen S. and Tim to talk about living kingdom-first in the city.For more information, visit citizenscharlotte.comThe intro/outro music for this podcast is “Until” by Levvy.

In this intentional message, Ps. Jared dives into the teaching of Jesus as recorded by Matthew around seeking first the kingdom of God.

Love is the why behind giving. When love is your motive, giving isn't hard — it's holy. In this first week of the "Seek First" series on generosity, we are invited to trust God fully, recognizing that He doesn't need anything from us; He desires our hearts. True generosity flows from love and trust — from the understanding that everything we have comes from Him. When we release what's in our hands, God blesses and multiplies it for His Kingdom. Because when we know it came from God, it becomes a joy to give it back to Him.This is the official Facebook and YouTube channel of Champion Christian Center.

When we seek not the wisdom of God: I. We are easily deceived. II. We are confronted with dilemmas regarding our faithfulness. III. We live with the consequences of our sin. But all the more God's grace abounds and even uses our sin for His own glory and our ultimate good.

Welcome to the Citizens Deep Dive, a podcast for our church family in Charlotte, NC where we take a closer look at a variety of topics. Over the next few months, during our Seek First series, we'll be bringing in some of our members to talk through what it means to live “kingdom first” in various aspects of their lives. This week, Karla Simmons and Zach Shumaker join Stephen and Tim to talk about kingdom-first work.For more information, visit citizenscharlotte.comThe intro/outro music for this podcast is “Until” by Levvy.

Pastor Alvin kicks off this new series, The kingdom of God, teaching us the BIG 3 (what, who, and why) of the kingdom and how it pertains to our lives. Part 1, subtitled, "Seek First the Kingdom", is the introduction to the series, asking the major question, "What is the kingdom and what does it have to do with my life?" and "What about the kingdom makes it the first thing we should seek as believers?". From the beginning, we were created to mirror God's authority on earth—but sin traded that for darkness. Now through Jesus, the Kingdom has been brought back to us. Tune as Pastor Alvin explains WHY we must seek the kingdom of first and how prioritizing the Kingdom changes everything and restores us to God.     Scripture References: Mark 1: 14-15 Genesis 1: 26-28   ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

Pastor Luke talks about how following Jesus is the adventure of a lifetime, and it starts with first seeking His kingdom. Scripture reading: Matthew 6:25-34.

Seek First the KingdomWe all know Rip Van Winkle, who takes a nap in the woods and reemerges to discover he's been asleep for 20 years. When he returns to town, he notices many uncanny changes, but for the most part, life is much the same. For instance, his favorite pub still features its venerable portrait of George… it's just that the George being honored is one “President Washington” instead of the King of England! Van Winkle observes the irony that his nameless wife having passed away while he was “out” has much more bearing on his everyday life than the Revolution could. Yet Irving also wrote The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, in which Ichabod Crane and his neighbors are haunted by a headless horseman. So, maybe he sees a more sinister and terrible angle on how a “decapitated” community might develop a troubled subconscious about their lack of a crown. Who knows how soon after the Revolution people stopped even noticing our headlessness?  Maybe that's a reach. What I do know is that it's a tricky thing to talk at all about Kings and Kingdoms in these United States. Now, I'm not complaining. Many of my professors have been subjects of or members of universities that are subject to a Crown. Their difficulty is often in distinguishing the Lordship of Christ from their experience with human kings and queens. Most Americans don't have the baggage of a people who've grown up in a monarchical government. But that also means that when we approach King language in the Bible, we arrive without any luggage at all. We struggle to imagine what exactly Jesus means when he calls himself a King. I'd much rather do some extra work in getting there imaginatively than try to re-establish a royal government on this continent. But I think it's important to acknowledge this position we Americans are in, stirring up proper affection for someone claiming to be a King setting up a Kingdom. Even if it is Jesus, I wonder if we can't help imagining his Kingdom by default as something of a Democratic Republic with an ideal President. Let's try to imagine it better together this Sunday,

The human struggle behind "Seek First the Kingdom of God” is rooted in our human nature for approval and applause. We wrestle between identifying our personal kingdoms on one hand, while attempting to seek His Kingdom on the other, may feel untenable.

Welcome to the Citizens Deep Dive, a podcast for our church family in Charlotte, NC where we take a closer look at a variety of topics. Over the next few months, during our Seek First series, we'll be bringing in some of our members to talk through what it means to live “kingdom first” in various aspects of their lives.

In this episode, Josh and Bob wrap up their exploration of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by tackling the final three habits: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, Synergize, and Sharpen the Saw.They unpack what these really mean for leaders today. From the trap of talking too much and forgetting to listen, to why “playing Legos” with people never works, to the absolute necessity of investing in your own growth—this is a conversation full of practical insights and unfiltered stories.
