The Rewards of Righteousness - Part 1
Show Note 1: Intro to Righteousness — A New BeginningRevs. Michele and Diana kick off a new series, "The Rewards of Righteousness," leaving behind the heaviness of sin to embrace the blessings of living rightly before God. They reflect on how God's righteousness is not just moral but protective, favor-filled, and identity-defining.
Key Themes:
- Shift from sin to righteousness
- God’s justice and favor
- Living out biblical righteousness daily
- Scriptures: Genesis 18:16-33, Romans 3:10
Quote: “We’re moving from what brings judgment to what brings favor.”
Show Note 2: Intercession, Favor, and the Power of One Righteous Life
Using Abraham's intercession for Sodom, the hosts explore how one righteous person can shift outcomes for an entire community. The righteousness of a single person holds immense power and can stand in the gap.
Key Themes:
- Power of intercession
- Righteousness as spiritual influence
- God’s willingness to relent for the sake of the righteous
- Scripture: Genesis 18:22-33
Quote: “God was ready to save a city for just ten righteous people.”

Summary:
Rev. Michele calls attention to how the righteous are often overlooked. Righteousness may not make headlines, but it makes an eternal impact. God sees, honors, and responds to righteous living.
Key Themes:
- Visibility vs. spiritual impact
- The righteous as God's preservation agents
- warning not to overlook quiet obedience
- Quote: “Just because you don't see them doesn’t mean they’re not there. God has His righteous ones.”
Show Note 4: Children of God, Children of the Devil
Rev. Diana deeply delves into 1 John 3, explaining how righteousness reveals spiritual lineage. Those who are truly born of God do not continue to practice sin. A lifestyle of righteousness is evidence of sonship.
Key Themes:
- Identity through righteousness
- Spiritual inheritance
- Freedom from the power of sin
- Scripture: 1 John 3:4 10
- Quote:
“You don’t have to sin—Jesus broke its power.”
Show Note 5: The Evidence of Right Living
What does righteousness look like in practice? Rev. Michele encourages listeners to examine the fruit of their lives. Holiness, obedience, and love are visible signs of right standing with God.
Key Themes:
- Visible fruit of righteousness
- Daily discipline and obedience
- Holiness as a lifestyle
- Scripture: 1 John 3:7, Matthew 7:16–20 (referenced indirectly)
Show Note 6: Favor That Surrounds Like a Shield
Rev. Diana shares Psalm 5:12 to highlight one of the most tangible rewards of righteousness: divine favor. The righteous don’t have to chase blessings—favor follows and surrounds them.
Key Themes:
- Divine favor
- Righteousness and protection
- Unseen blessings for godly living
Scripture: Psalm 5:12
Quote: “Favor comes with righteousness. You don’t have to look for it—it’ll find you.”Show Note 7:...
