*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary God is raising and purifying a spiritual priesthood whose focus is firmly set upon Him. Although believers should remain aware of what is happening in the world, they must not allow their spirits to become distracted or consumed by it. Christ has already won the victory; therefore, His people are called to walk in that victory, trust His promises, and carry His presence into every situation. This priesthood ministers to God through worship, listening, faith, and intercession for all creation. Believers do not enter this calling through human effort or spiritual striving, but through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. As they become conformed to the image of Christ and learn to live with an awareness of who they are in Him, God's presence and glory flow through them. Their faith is not merely directed toward something that will happen someday—it declares that God's Kingdom is coming forth now. Show Notes God is raising and purifying a spiritual priesthood.Believers must guard their focus and avoid becoming spiritually consumed by world events.Christ has already won the battle; our calling is to walk in His victory.Priestly intercession reaches beyond personal needs and embraces all creation.Worshiping and praying in tongues allow the Holy Spirit to intercede beyond our natural understanding.Listening and waiting upon the Lord are essential parts of spiritual intercession.Everyone must begin where they are and trust the Holy Spirit to reveal the next step.Spiritual growth requires movement; believers should not become stagnant.Entering God's presence is an act of faith rather than human effort.A single Scripture can become a daily focus for meditation, faith, and communion with God.Spiritual intensity does not require strain because believers are also entering God's rest.Creation's deliverance is connected to the sons of God becoming conformed to Christ's image.Believers carry God's presence into ordinary situations simply by knowing who they are in Christ.Faith declares that God's Kingdom is coming forth in the earth—and within His people—now. Quotes “God's raising a priest. Our focus needs to be so much on reaching into Him.”“It's already been won, so we walk in His victory as the channels of victory.”“We are to be the intercessors for all creation because we have to understand that's where we live now.”“There's a lot of waiting on the Lord, a lot of listening.”“At least be in motion. Don't be stagnant.”“You position yourself in His presence by faith.”“Don't make it this hard thing. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us every single step.”“We can't make this happen through human effort. It is to be that of the Spirit.”“Just know who you are, so that when you come into any situation, you're aware that you're bringing His presence into that situation.”“Our faith is now. What we declare is now. What we're believing is now.” Scriptural References 1Peter 2(5, 9)— Believers are being built together as a holy and royal priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices and proclaim God's excellencies.Hebrews 9(11-14)— Christ entered God's presence as the perfect High Priest through His own blood, securing eternal redemption.Colossians 3(1-2)— Believers are instructed to set their minds on the things above rather than becoming consumed by earthly distractions.Matthew 6(33)— Seeking God's Kingdom first establishes the proper focus for every part of life.Romans 8(19-23)— Creation waits for the revealing of God's sons and for deliverance from its slavery to corruption.Romans 8(26-27)— The Holy Spirit helps believers in their weakness and intercedes according to the will of God.Romans 8(29-30)— God has called His people to become conformed to the image of His Son, and His completed purpose includes their justification and glorification.1Corinthians 14(2, 15)— Speaking and worshiping in the Spirit allow believers to communicate with God beyond their natural understanding.Zechariah 4(6)— God's purposes are accomplished not through human strength or power, but by His Spirit.Hebrews 11(6)— Faith is essential to pleasing God and approaching Him with confidence.Hebrews 4(9-11)— God's people are called to enter His rest, ceasing from fleshly striving while trusting His completed work.John 16(13)— The Holy Spirit guides believers into truth and reveals what the Father is speaking.2Corinthians 5(7)— The life of the believer is governed by faith rather than by natural sight, circumstances, or feelings. Takeaway God is raising a priesthood that lives in His presence and intercedes for all creation. We do not fulfill this calling through striving, emotion, or human ability. We begin where we are, set our spirits upon the Lord, listen to the Holy Spirit, meditate upon His Word, and take each step by faith. As we become aware of who we are in Christ, we carry His presence and victory into every situation. Our faith is not waiting passively for a...

Date: 9/20/26 Speaker: Pastor Will Broadus Passage: Matthew 4:1-11 Series: Jesus: The Tested Teacher SERMON DESCRIPTION: What does it look like to fight temptation like Jesus? In Matthew 4:1–11, Jesus enters the wilderness and is tempted by Satan after fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. In this sermon, we see that Jesus was not simply tempted as an example for us—he was tested in our place, succeeding where we have failed and sharing his victory with us. As we examine Jesus' three temptations, we discover how temptation works and how Scripture helps us fight it. Satan tempts us to doubt God's character, to seek good things through sinful actions, and to pursue God's blessings without obedience. Jesus responds by trusting the Father, refusing to manipulate God, patiently waiting on God's promises, and answering every temptation with Scripture. Victory over temptation is not about relying on our own strength. It is about depending on God, resisting the lies of temptation, saturating our minds with Scripture, and trusting the power of the risen Christ. If you are struggling with temptation, shame, impatience, or the desire to take matters into your own hands, this message points you back to Jesus—the One who won where we failed. ——————————————— THEMES: 1. Jesus was tempted in our place and succeeded where we failed. 2. Temptation often begins by making us question God's goodness. 3. We cannot pursue God's blessings through sinful shortcuts. 4. Resisting temptation requires trusting God rather than relying on ourselves. 5. We fight temptation by saturating our minds with Scripture and relying on Christ's strength. ——————————————— CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Introduction: Jesus, the Tested Teacher 04:48 — Jesus Was Tested in Our Place 11:30 — How Temptation Works: The Battle for Our Minds 13:15 — Temptation Makes Us Doubt God's Character 17:35 — Getting Good Things Through Sinful Acts 23:34 — Seeking God's Blessings Without Obedience 27:00 — Resisting Temptation and Waiting on God 30:06 — Jesus Gives Us Victory Over Temptation 32:04 — Fighting Temptation with Scripture 35:21 — Closing Prayer ——————————————— REFLECTION QUESTIONS: 1.When are you most vulnerable to temptation? - What tends to happen in your life when you are tired, stressed, lonely, angry, hungry, or discouraged? 2.What lie about God tends to make temptation more believable for you? - Do you ever find yourself thinking, “God doesn't really have my back,” or “I need to take care of this myself”? 3.Are you tempted to pursue something good through a sinful shortcut? - What is the good thing you want, and what shortcut are you tempted to take to get it? 4.Where might impatience be making temptation harder to resist? - Is there something you are tempted to take into your own hands because you don't want to wait on God? 5.How do you respond when Scripture is taken out of context? - Are there passages you have relied on without considering what the surrounding chapter or book actually teaches? 6.What temptation do you need to fight with God's Word right now? - What specific Scripture speaks directly to that temptation? 7.What does it mean for you to depend on Jesus rather than your own strength? - Where do you need to remember that resisting temptation is not something you have to do alone? 8.How does Jesus' victory change the way you respond when you fail? - Do you tend to respond to failure with repentance and faith, or with shame and hiding? 9.What would it look like to “wait it out” the next time temptation comes? - What practical step could help you create enough space to resist rather than immediately giving in? 10.Where do you need to trust God's character right now? - What is happening in your life that makes it difficult to believe that God is good and that his way is worth following? ——————————————— Please visit our website at reconcilecc.org for any questions.

My young grandson was spending the night in our new home, in a bed unfamiliar to him. He giggled with excitement as we read books under the dinosaur tent I'd pitched atop his cozy comforter, but when it was time to sleep, his eyes widened with worry. “How will I find you if I need you?”

If you believe God created the world and believe in God's omnipresence, then why not look for God EVERYWHERE? The practice of paying attention and being aware of God's Holy Spirit and what God may be trying to teach us does not have to be contained to 'Christian' places or content. What if we watched and listened for God everyday and in every normal, mundane act of our lives? What could we learn and experience if we truly practiced intentional attention?

Pastor James Roberson III Gal 1:11–24

Paul understoodsomething that every believer needs to remember: The purpose of our lives isnot to bring glory to ourselves. It is to bring glory to God. Jesussaid in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may seeyour good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Notice Jesusdidn't say that people should see our good works and glorify us. He said theyshould see our good works and glorify our Father which is in heaven. That's animportant distinction. There is something in our human nature that enjoys beingrecognized. We like to be appreciated. We like someone to tell us that we did agood job. And there is nothing wrong with encouraging someone or expressingappreciation for what they have done. The problem comes when the praise ofpeople becomes the reason we do it. Jesuswarned about this in Matthew chapter 6. And Jesus repeatedly warned about doing spiritualthings “to be seen of men.” It is possible to do the right thing for thewrong reason. We can serve and secretly hope someone notices. We can give andhope someone recognizes our generosity. We can sing, teach, preach, or serve inthe church and become disappointed when no one thanks us. We can even becomediscouraged when someone else receives recognition that we thought should havebeen ours. That's when we need to ask ourselves a very important question: Whoseglory am I seeking? Paulsaid: “Nor of men sought we glory.” Paul knew that the approval thatultimately mattered was not the approval of people, but the approval of God. InGalatians 1:10, Paul wrote: “For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seekto please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant ofChrist.” You see, if our primary goal is to please people, eventually wewill be tempted to compromise what God has called us to do. But if our goal isto please God, we can remain faithful whether people applaud us or criticizeus. Whether people notice us or overlook us. Whether someone says “thank you”or no one ever recognizes what we have done. That is especially important inChristian service. Many of the greatest acts of service for God are probablythings that very few people ever see. Someone quietly praying for anotherperson. Someone giving to meet a need without telling anyone. Someone visitinga lonely person. Someone faithfully teaching a small group week after week. Amother or father faithfully teaching their children about the Lord. Someonesharing Christ with a neighbor. Someone serving behind the scenes at churchwhere hardly anyone knows their name. The world may never recognize thosethings. But God sees them. And ultimately, His approval is the only approvalthat really matters. Paulcontinues in verse 6 by saying: “When we might have been burdensome, as theapostles of Christ.” As an apostle, Paul could have asserted his authorityand demanded certain rights and privileges. But he chose not to make himselfthe center of attention. Instead of asking, “What do I deserve?”, Paul wasasking, “How can I serve?” That reminds us of Jesus Himself. Jesus said in Mark10:45: “For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but tominister, and to give His life a ransom for many.” If anyone deserved to beserved, it was Jesus. If anyone deserved recognition, honor, and glory, it wasJesus. Yet He humbled Himself and became a servant. And that should be ourattitude as well. My friend, we live in a world that constantly encourages usto promote ourselves. We are told to make ourselves known, build ourreputation, gain followers, and make sure people recognize what we haveaccomplished. But the Christian life points us in another direction. We are nothere to make ourselves famous. We are here to make Jesus known. Johnthe Baptist expressed it beautifully in John 3:30: “He must increase, but Imust decrease.” What a wonderful motto for every believer! He mustincrease. Jesus should become more visible in our lives.

After a short hiatus and our Best of Series, the guys are back with a brand-new episode of the Known Legacy Podcast! This summer has given us plenty of time to slow down, listen, and dig deeper into what God is teaching us through His Word. In this episode, we dive into some powerful lessons from Acts and the story of Elijah in 1 Kings, exploring what God's Word has to say about faith, obedience, courage, and what it looks like to follow Him when life doesn't go the way we expected. As we head into the second half of 2026, the question is simple: What are you going to do with the time God has given you? If you want to make the rest of 2026 count and grow into the man God has created you to be, this episode is for you.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent Podcast, you'll hear a recent sermon from Chap Bettis as he walks through Psalm 127 and asks a simple, searching question: what does it look like to actively seek God's blessing in everyday life?He talks about the danger of anxious, self-reliant “in vain” work and the comfort of God's providence that lets us labor faithfully and still rest. Then he turns to the second half of the psalm and considers why Scripture calls children a gift from the Lord, how our culture often treats children as a burden, and how the church can cultivate a child-loving (not child-centered) community.Finally, we'll reflect on what it means to form disciples and disciple-makers who can stand with courage and wisdom in the public square while remembering that our hope rests in the Lord who builds and watches over his people. 

Join us each week as we learn more about Jesus and how to Follow Jesus Together at Alderwood Community Church. Our hope is that these messages can help guide and teach you in your walk with Jesus. To learn more, visit alderwood.cc or join us on a Sunday morning!

Series: STANDALONE SERMON | Scripture: Psalm 67 | Description: A look at the greatest blessing, whom it's for, the response to the blessing, and the results.

Have you ever looked back at a previous season of life and thought, “My time with God used to look different. I must be failing now." Motherhood. Work. Marriage. Little ones waking before sunrise. Responsibilities that don't seem to end. Today we're talking about why walking with God is a priority in every season—even if it doesn't look the same in every season. We'll explore what Scripture says about seeking the Lord, why our relationship with Him matters so deeply, and how we can let go of false guilt while continuing to pursue Him wholeheartedly. The goal isn't recreating a past season. The goal is faithfully seeking Jesus right where He has you today.

What does it look like to truly draw near to God? In this message from Ezra 8, Pastor Phil Hopper points to the river of Ahava, where God's people prepared for an uncertain journey through prayer and fasting. You'll discover how dependence on God positions us for His protection and guidance. This message reminds us that before every significant move of God, His people seek Him first. Be challenged to draw near to God through simple, honest prayer. Trust His promise in James 4:8 that as you come close to Him, He will come close to you.   Connect with us on Social Media ⤵    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels     Connect with Pastor Phil ⤵  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhilHopperKC  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/philhopper_kc  Books & Resources: https://abundant-life.com/resources/books/     Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2    Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/  Watch More Sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/    Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

What do you really want when you pray? Relief? Answers? A change in circumstances? Psalm 63 takes us into the wilderness with David, where his deepest longing is not simply for rescue, but for God himself.As we continue our Rhythms of Grace series, we will discover that prayer is more than bringing God a list of needs. It is the rhythm by which thirsty people seek the only One who can truly satisfy the deepest longings of the heart. Join us as Psalm 63 teaches us to seek God not merely for what he gives, but for who he is!

In this message from Psalm 63, Jake explores how David seeks God while facing loss, uncertainty, and isolation in the wilderness. Rather than longing primarily for comfort or restored circumstances, David declares that God's love is better than life and trusts that only God can satisfy his deepest thirst. The message encourages believers to pursue God in every season by praising Him, remembering His promises, and intentionally directing their thoughts toward Him. Because Jesus has opened the way into God's presence, even seasons of spiritual dryness can become opportunities to seek Him more deeply and rediscover His power, glory, and unfailing love.

Pastor Nathan delivers a powerful message titled What Are You Really After? Many of us only pray when we need something from God, but what if prayer was never meant to be transactional? The greatest reward of prayer isn't the answered prayer but the presence of our Creator. God doesn't just want to answer your prayers, He wants to have a relationship with you. Jesus didn't pray to become more powerful, He prayed because intimacy with the Father was His priority. Prayer was always meant to keep us aligned with our Father. "Private intimacy produces public authority." - Pastor Nathan Green Fire isn't created in a Church service, it's carried there by Christians who enter the presence of God in private. Prayer keeps the fire alive. When we seek His face, personal revival becomes corporate revival. The greatest gift is His presence. Join us Sundays at 9AM or 11AM!
