S3 E9 Judgment Day (Royal Priesthood Series)
September 23, 2023 20:35 - 1 hour - 158 MBOn this episode we wrap up the first half of our series, A Handbook for the Royal Priesthood, as we dive into the return of Christ and the day of judgment. The final pillar of history for the Royal Priesthood to grasp is that God has a good plan for the end of the world. When we really understand God's plan for the end, we can orient our lives to fully engage in the story of history that God is even now perfectly bringing to completion. We don't need to be afraid to talk about the day of judg...
S3 E8 We Are Kingdom People (Royal Priesthood Series)
July 20, 2023 20:23 - 1 hour - 165 MBThis episode of the Deeper Riches Podcast puts the “Royal” in the Royal Priesthood. As adopted sons and daughters of the King of the Universe, we are royalty. But what is this kingdom that we have entered into? What does it mean to do “kingdom work” or be a “kingdom person”? What is the real work of this kingdom of priests? We return to the story of the history of the world and explore what God revealed about His Kingdom through the first three kings of Israel: Saul, David, and Solomon. We al...
S3 E7 What Is the Church? (Royal Priesthood Series)
June 24, 2023 17:56 - 1 hour - 170 MBIn this episode of the Deeper Riches Podcast we discuss “The Church,” which is the Body of Christ on the earth, and the Bride who awaits His return. Sadly, today we have been led to believe that our spiritual growth is an individual matter. But the story God is telling through the history of the world is not primarily a story about ME. It’s a story about WE. In this episode, we attempt to bridge the gap between the American “ME-centered” approach to Christianity and the way the Bible descr...
S3 E6 We Are Priests Like Living Stones (Royal Priesthood Series)

In this episode we explore our Priesthood, and talk about what makes it distinct from the Levitical priesthood established in the Law. We analyze the story of Melchizedek, and gain new insights into our own priestly duties based on the story of this ...
S3 E5 Law and Gospel (Royal Priesthood Series)
April 09, 2023 03:37 - 1 hour - 161 MBOn this episode of the podcast, we discuss the giving of the Law of Moses. Through this Law, God gave to mankind an unbelievable grace: He revealed the gospel more fully than ever before. We will trace how God clearly communicated his standard for right and wrong, the standard by which all of mankind is judged, and the standard of which we all fall short. But in the Law God also revealed that He would take payment for our sin with the blood of a perfect, spotless sacrifice, and restore us to...
S3 E4 Let My People Go (Royal Priesthood Series)
March 18, 2023 23:15 - 1 hour - 172 MBOn this episode, we discuss God as DELIVERER. We dive into the story of the Exodus, when God delivered His people out of slavery in Egypt. Next to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Exodus is the most miracle-filled story in the Bible. The story is so pivotal, that the Israelites were commanded to remember and reenact it every single year forever. This story is also foundational to the Royal Priesthood today, because before we can serve God in the wilderness, we must actually leave the sys...
S3 E3 Walk by Faith (Royal Priesthood Series)
February 26, 2023 20:55 - 1 hour - 151 MBOn this 3rd episode in the Handbook for the Royal Priesthood series, we examine the life of Father Abraham as a model of walking by FAITH. God counted Abraham’s faith as righteousness, so what exactly did Abraham believe? And how did he exercise that faith? In an age where it is becoming increasingly more costly to walk by faith and stand for Christ, the Royal Priesthood needs to consider what it means to follow in the footsteps of Abraham and walk by faith.

S3 E1 The Glory Of God (Royal Priesthood Series)
January 28, 2023 18:09 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBOn this first episode of the new series, A Handbook for the Royal Priesthood, we dive into The Glory of God. Before creating the universe, God existed in glory. Therefore, the first pillar of the Royal Priesthood is that God created the world for his own glory. His glory demands a stage. We define glory, discuss how it relates to creation, sin and worship, and explore what it means to glorify God in a uniquely Christian way.
