In our penultimate episode in this series, we look at Jesus’ description of how to enter the Kingdom of God. There is a right way and there is a wrong way. There are dark forces aligned to keep you from entering the Kingdom in the correct way. Jesus expects us to know the difference between true and false and this is the guidance He brings to us.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
Where do you put your confidence? Where do you feel strongest in prayer or worship? For many of us we fall into a trap of receiving the grace of God by faith in Christ but then try and build a confidence in our own flesh to present to Him. That is not the way of a citizen of the Kingdom of God. In today’s episode of the our continued journey through the sermon on the mount, what we are calling The Manifesto of the Kingdom of God, we look at how Jesus addresses this issue.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
Judge not so that you are not judged. These words from the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus’ Manifesto of the Kingdom of God are so famous that even non-Christians quote them. They are often used as a standard of judgment against Christians who hold a line of Biblical righteousness to contrast against the standards of this world. But that is not a correct interpretation of what these words mean. Today we look at what Jesus really meant when He told His followers to not judge.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
How do we determine our priorities in life? What do we care about? What is most important? In this episode, we looked at the cares of this world. This message is at the core of the Manifesto. It is a radical redefinition of how life works that Jesus presented to His followers, the citizens of the Kingdom of God.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
Today, we look at Matthew 6:6-24 as Jesus talks about the true treasure of the Kingdom of God. The world we live in longs for wealth, power, and fame. The true treasure of the Kingdom of God however is found in the secret place.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
How did Jesus teach us to pray? Believe it or not, He actually gave us a template. In this episode of The Manifesto: Life Politics and Reality in the Kingdom of God we continue our walk through what is traditionally known as the Sermon on the Mount. Today we are looking at “the Lord’s Prayer.” When Jesus presented this to His followers He never intended that we follow this model as a formula, or memorization test. He was providing a template for us to follow in learning how to pray.Learn more and follow along at https://jbshreve.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jb_shreve/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JBShrevedotcom Get the latest book from JB Shreve Politically Incorrect: Real Faith In An Era of Unreal Politics - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNHD51WJ…
