KC spends hour one talking Kings and was joined by Kings play by play commentator Mark Jones.

Preached by Pastor Jared Kress on 7/19/26. Main Idea: We love the God of grace, but do we love the God of justice? True worship means praising God for all of who He is—both His mercy and His holiness. The cross of Jesus is the ultimate intersection where God's perfect justice and His infinite grace meet.Challenge: Do you love the God of justice? Acknowledge the cry for justice in your own heart. Realize that your personal need for grace and the world's need for justice are both answered at the cross of Christ.1. Ahab and a Covetous Attitude (1 Kings 21:1–4)2.

In our last reading, we left off with two kings, King Baasha, who has just become king over Israel, and king Asa, who has ruled over Judah for three years at the time of Baasha's ascension to the throne. Baasha became king by force, killing Jeroboam's son Nadab as well as the rest of Jeroboam's family. Take note of the rotating door of kings who rule over Israel, leading up to King Ahab, who is incredibly wicked. Not only that, you'll also notice how long Asa rules in faithfulness to the Lord while Israel's kings come and go. Later in 2 Chronicles, we'll hear the account of Baasha declaring war against Asa, who fails to trust in the Lord, and calls upon the king of Aram instead. 1 Kings 16 - 1:07 .  2 Chronicles 16 - 8:13 .   2 Chronicles 17 - 11:13 .  Psalm 119:17 - 14:36 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Our readings today examine the lives of two descendants of David who each reigned as king over Israel. First, there's Abijah (or Abijam), who reigned for only 3 years, but who makes an impassioned speech against Israel's king Jeroboam, warning him that he should not wage war against the Lord and those who serve Him. Abijah's son Asa takes the throne after him, and Asa devotes himself to the Lord for most of his life. The Lord rewards Asa's faithfulness by blessing the nation of Judah with a long period of peace. In 2 Chronicles we'll also read about two of Israel's kings: King Nadab is the son of Jeroboam, but he and the rest of Jeroboam's lineage are cut down and destroyed in accordance with God's judgment. Baasha becomes king after killing Nadab, and reign for 24 years. 1 Kings 15 - 1:07 .  2 Chronicles 13 - 7:28 .  2 Chronicles 14 - 13:03 .  2 Chronicles 15 - 16:15 .  Psalm 119:1 - 20:03 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

D-Lo & KC spend hour one talking Kings and so much more.

Our episode begins with a retelling of the insulting manner in which Rehoboam addresses Jeroboam, only this time the account is from 2 Chronicles rather than 1 Kings. Recall that it was the prophet Ahijah who tore a new robe into 12 pieces and gave 10 pieces to Jeroboam, symbolizing the number of tribes he would rule over. After Jeroboam leads a revolt, he became king over those 10 tribes. Despite the Lord's kindness to Jeroboam, he also turned away from God and immediately set up two sanctuaries, each with a golden calf. As we read from 1 Kings 14, the same prophet who once declared God's favor now declares God's wrath upon the house of Jeroboam, for the king has acted wickedly. 2 Chronicles 10 - 1:08 .  2 Chronicles 11 - 5:04 .  2 Chronicles 12 - 9:21 .  1 Kings 14 - 13:01 .  Psalm 118 - 20:04 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

D-Lo & KC spend hour one talking Kings and summer league.

In marrying wives from surrounding nations, he has disobeyed the direct command of the Lord and fallen into idolatry. As such is the case, the Lord vowed to take the kingdom away from Solomon's family after he is gone. Sadly, the wisdom that Solomon had passed on to his sons doesn't take root, and the foolishness of his son Rehoboam causes a revolt and a division in the nation of Israel. Today, we'll be introduced to Jeroboam, a man who Ahijah prophesies will rule over ten tribes of Israel. If Jeroboam walks in the ways of the Lord, God promises that he will be with him and build a lasting dynasty for him. Sadly, Jeroboam attempts to establish a center for worship outside of Jerusalem that is not ordained by God. 1 Kings 11:26 - 1:10 .  1 Kings 12 - 5:05 .  1 Kings 13 - 13:04 .  Psalm 116 - 20:36 .  Psalm 117 - 22:51 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Solomon is not only a king, he is a king among kings, whose wisdom and splendor became well known. As such, the queen of Sheba pays him a visit to see his kingdom. Not only that, but the text tells us that “all the kings of the world wanted an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart.” The 2 Chronicles passage concludes with Solomon's death, but 1 Kings gives us other details about the end of Solomon's life before concluding. In his old age, Solomon was not wholehearted in his devotion to the God of Israel, and his many wives turned his heart away to follow other gods. As such, the Lord tells Solomon he will tear the kingdom away from him. 2 Chronicles 9 - 1:07 .  1 Kings 10 - 7:22 .  1 Kings 11 - 14:00 .  Psalm 115 - 19:25 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

We come to a detailed chapter—even a chapter of details—concerning the building of the temple. It's easy to gloss over these details as an irrelevant blueprint of a no-longer-existing building. But these details paint a picture of the beauty of a lasting temple, a living God, and the beautiful gospel that remains very relevant to us today.

In 1 Kings 12 and 13, Pastor Gerrit looks at the story of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the two kings who split Israel after Solomon's death. Rehoboam ignores wise counsel and rules harshly, losing ten tribes in the process. Jeroboam, ruled by fear rather than faith, sets up false worship sites so the people won't return to Jerusalem. Even after a clear warning from God, he refuses to turn back. Together their choices show how ignoring godly counsel and letting fear win out can slowly harden a heart against repentance.

Today, we're going to be in four different books of the Old Testament, which makes this episode the record-holder in number of places. Don't worry, though: it's not any longer than the average episode. In 2 Chronicles and 1 Kings we'll cover Solomon's imposition of forced labor over non-Israelites and the initial institution of worship in the Lord's temple. From there, we'll transition to the book of Ecclesiastes, a wisdom book written by King Solomon. In it, the king tests the bounds of all that could be seen as valuable to men, and finds them all to be empty without God at the center. Finally, we'll read a short Psalm. 2 Chronicles 8 - 1:07 .  1 Kings 9 - 4:44 .  Ecclesiastes 1 - 10:47 .  Ecclesiastes 2 - 13:40 .  Psalm 112 - 19:19 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Today's reading contains the second-longest chapter in all of Scripture, which is 1 Kings chapter 8, and it's long for a great reason: King Solomon gets excited and is full of prayer and praise as he conducts the first worship gathering at the Lord's temple. Though the tabernacle existed before the temple, this is the first permanent structure built for the worship of God in a particular geographic location. As you can imagine, it's a pretty big deal. The party lasts for two full weeks, after which the Lord appears to Solomon a second time echoing both the blessings and curses he gave to Moses before him. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from 1 Kings 6, where construction of the temple begins.

1 Kings 21:1-29 Ben Brummett God's amazing grace is why we have hope. Today's passage vividly portrays the wickedness of sin before giving us a glimpse of God's amazing grace with a surprising twist that should encourage and challenge all of us.

Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel by Autumn Dickson Do you ever feel like you're desperately scraping at an empty barrel? Maybe it's with physical resources to take care of your family, or maybe you feel emotionally or spiritually drained. Well this week holds a story that can give us the key to finding peace with our barrel. There is a huge famine in the land, and the Lord is providing for the prophet, Elijah. Elijah is living by a stream and getting water from it, and some birds are feeding him. When the stream dries up, Elijah is instructed by the Lord to go to Zarephath where a widow will take care of him. When he gets to Zarephath, he finds the widow. He requests water and a piece of bread. Here is where our story continues. 1 Kings 17:12-14 12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. Elijah requests bread. The widow said she only has enough for her and her son before they die. Elijah tells her to get him some bread anyway and promises that if she does, she will have enough flour and oil until it rains again. HERE IS WHY I LOVE THIS STORY AND WISH IT WERE ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS STORIES IN THE BIBLE: There is always enough in the barrel. The widow of Zarephath chose to feed the prophet, and his promise was fulfilled. She had enough food for her and her son, and that food continued on. Absolutely incredible. But. What did the miracle look like? When the widow of Zarephath woke up in the morning and she lifted up the lid on her barrel, how much flour was there? Was the entire thing full? Did it always remain full? Did it empty over time and then one morning, she would awake to a full barrel again? Or…did it always stay almost empty? Was there always a slight tinge of fear that one morning, it would simply be gone? Every night when she used up the “last” of the flour, did it prick at heart and push her to pray for another day? How long did it take for her to trust the miracle? I'm going to highlight it again: There will always be enough in the barrel. But even more than always giving enough, the Lord is trying to teach us something important. I don't know how the Lord continued the miracle of flour, but I would feel pretty comfortable guessing that it was the last option. The barrel always had just enough. If we're going off of the Lord's past patterns in almost everything (not just physical and monetary resources but spiritually and emotionally), we see very clearly that the Lord likes to give us just enough. Here is my theory as to why I think the Lord chose the last option: that there was always just enough flour left. Let's say the Lord filled up the barrel and kept it perpetually full. There is not as much need, and therefore, there is not as much reliance upon the Lord. The widow always had plenty of flour. This is awesome, but there is an option that actually gives the widow more than just flour. Let's say the Lord filled up the barrel, let it empty, and then filled it up again. I don't know how big her barrel was, but let's say it took a week for her to empty the barrel. Once a week, the widow would go to bed with a prayer in heart that there would be more tomorrow. And then my personal theory: The Lord only ever gave the widow just enough. Every single time the widow opened the barrel, she was praying that there was enough. She had so much more need which meant there was more opportunity to rely on the Lord and learn to trust Him. There were way more opportunities to build trust, and so the widow had flour AND she gained trust. Some might argue it was cruel of a loving Father to not give her more flour and more security and confidence. I think the gift of trusting Him is one of the greatest gifts He can offer, and He's very limited in how He is able to build that trust. Hence, the withheld flour. So how does this relate to us? If He's withholding flour, it's not because He wants to torture you. It's because He wants a relationship with you. He wants you to trust Him, and giving you these repeated exposures builds trust even if it's stressful until you figure out that He's going to show up. So the solution? Trust! Trust that there will be enough. Perhaps the widow even had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to make sure there was enough, but the simple fact remained true: there was enough. Even if you're only ever receiving enough for your needs, your barrel might as well be overflowing because the Lord's resources are infinite. You don't have to worry about that part. The part you should really start to work on is trusting Him. Because even with a full barrel, there is never true security in this world. Everything could blow up tomorrow. But if you put your trust in the Lord instead of a full barrel, you never feel empty. In fact, I don't think scraping the barrel is the stressful part. I think worrying about whether you'll have enough is the stressful part. The real part that is killing you right now is not the physical motion of scraping the barrel; it's being terrified that there won't be enough tomorrow. If you can release that fear, the barrel will no longer feel tortuous. You'll see the miracle as it is. You will see infinite resources. If you can learn to trust, you won't feel empty. You will rejoice and trust in His infinite resources. You will feel confident as His heir. Your barrel will feel full. Every night, as you go to sleep, switch your thinking. Don't ask yourself, “Will there be enough tomorrow?” Instead, recount the many times there has always been enough. You will find that the worries begin to disappear on their own. The widow of Zarephath is one of my favorite stories because it teaches me that I don't have to be scared about what's in my barrel. I can look at my barrel and see the emptiness, or I can look up and see His infinite flour. Just because He's only giving me a scoop at a time doesn't mean I have nothing. It means I get as much flour as I need AND it means that I get to look up at Him everyday. I testify with all of my heart that there is enough for you.

Today we'll conclude our readings about the construction of the Lord's temple and the king's palace built under Solomon's rule, stopping short of the dedication of the temple which we'll begin in our next episode. Remember, before the construction of this temple, Israel had worshipped the Lord under the tabernacle, a mobile worship center comprised of varying poles, beams, curtains, cloths, and furniture that could be packed up and moved from site to site as they traversed the wilderness. This grand temple complex mirrored the layout of the tabernacle but was decidedly more permanent, marking a turning point in Israel's history. 2 Chronicles 3 - 1:05 .  2 Chronicles 4 - 4:04 .  1 Kings 7 - 7:56 .  Psalm 108 - 16:56 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

When Elijah stood on Mount Carmel, he challenged an entire nation: "How long halt ye between two opinions?" In a world pulling us in a thousand different directions, are we trying to keep one foot in Zion and the other in Babylon, or are we ready to let God prevail? Summary: In this episode, we explore the dramatic events of 1 Kings 12-22 . We transition from the massive building projects of Solomon to the fractured, divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, uncovering the crucial role of the prophets in calling a drifting people back to their covenants. The Division of the Kingdom: We analyze the critical leadership mistakes of Rehoboam, who rejected the wise counsel of the elders to double down on burdens, and Jeroboam, who created a convenient, counterfeit religion to keep his people from the Temple. The Test of Exact Obedience: We study the sobering and tragic story of the unnamed younger man of God in 1 Kings 13, discovering why resisting temptation once doesn't mean the trial is over. The Widow of Zarephath: We look closely at Elijah's interactions with a starving widow in Zidon, learning how her willingness to put God's prophet first turned a final, meager meal into a continuous source of life. The Fire on Mount Carmel: We break down Elijah's epic confrontation with the 450 prophets of Baal, analyzing how Jehovah systematically dismantled and discredited the Canaanite pantheon. The Still Small Voice: After the fire, wind, and earthquake, Elijah finds God not in the spectacular displays, but in the quiet, inner whisper. We talk about the loneliness of leadership and how the Lord reminds us that we are never as alone as we think. Call-to-Action: Elijah repaired the broken altar of the Lord before he called down the fire. What is one "broken altar" or spiritual habit in your life that needs to be repaired this week?

We finished Song of Songs in our last episode which means we are back into the narrative of King Solomon. As always, the Lord God makes good on His promises, and Solomon flourishes under the Lord's lavish provision. Blessed with peace on every side and abundant wealth, Solomon sets His mind on things above and gets to work. Knowing that the Lord had promised David a son who would come from his family and would establish God's house forever, Solomon builds a center of worship for God that reflects the plans for the original tabernacle. In work, wealth, and worship, Solomon is a foreshadow of the Son of David who would establish a greater kingdom where God is worshipped by the nations and the people dwell with Him in peace. 2 Chronicles 2 - 1:05 .  1 Kings 5 - 5:39 .  1 Kings 6 - 9:42 .  Psalm 108 - 16:17 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

The Deadly Lie of the Old Prophet by Autumn Dickson There are major themes throughout the stories we read in the Old Testament. Some of the more negative themes are idolatry, fear over losing power, disobedience, and corrupting influences. The Old Testament does not shy away from showing the fallibility of humankind. There is great hope in faithful stories in the scriptures; there are also important warnings in the stories of people who were not obedient to the Lord. One of the stories we read this week shows themes of obedience and disobedience. We see people who have a connection to God and follow Him, but we also watch them choose against God and find themselves in deep water because of it. There are a lot of details for our story in this post, but stick with me. They are important because they set the stage for our principle. In 1 Kings 13, we read about a man of God and an old prophet. Those are the only “names” we receive for these men, and these titles can get confusing especially when you're reading the details of the story. Though they were labeled as a man of God and an old prophet, we see their fallibility on full display. For some quick background, Israel has split into two kingdoms: Judah and Benjamin in the south and the rest of the ten tribes in the north. The man of God was from Judah where the true temple was. The northern kingdom had fallen into idolatry. The man of God was commanded to go to Bethel (in the northern kingdom) and condemn the idolatrous practice. He does so and performs a couple of wonderful miracles as well. The Lord warns and commands the man of God to not eat or drink in Bethel. The man of God originally follows this command very well as he works to return to Judah. Unfortunately, another man, the old prophet, comes along and finds the man of God resting under the shade of a tree. The old prophet offers the man of God some food and drink, and the man of God refuses. The old prophet says this. 1 Kings 13:18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. The man of God listens to the old prophet and partakes in food and drink. While the man of God eats, the old prophet tells him that he won't make it home because of his disobedience. On the way home, the man of God is killed by a lion. The old prophet collects the body, gives the man of God an honorable burial, and requests to be buried next to the man of God when he dies. The old prophet calls the man of God a brother. He testifies that the prophecy made by the man of God earlier regarding the idolatrous altar in Bethel will come true. There are a lot of confusing details. I don't know if this was one of those parts of the bible that was translated incorrectly or whether it's simply highlighting the fallibility of real people who sometimes follow the Lord. Who was the old prophet? Was he an actual prophet to the Lord? He was in the idolatrous kingdom so when they called him a prophet, was he a false prophet? Was he trying to tear down the man of God for prophesying against the northern kingdom? We know that the old prophet received some revelation from the Lord. He prophesied of the death of the man of God, and he testified of the prophecy given by the man of God. So why did he lie? Was he threatened by the man of God or did he see no harm in his white lie? Was he trying to just nourish the man of God? Was he wicked but then received a testimony while he watched the man of God come and eat? There is a lot of ambiguity. Oftentimes, I'll try to take one biblical theory and talk about true principles from it regardless of whether the details are perfect. This time, I'm going to embrace the ambiguity. The man of God listened to the old prophet and found himself dead because of it. I've seen a pattern on social media. This is a pattern that has existed for a long time, but I've seen it more readily because of its prevalence on social media. On social media (and in real life), we find people who are disgusted by the church. They hate it. They actively fight against it. Their entire online persona can be defined by, “I hate the church.” But there is another group of people. They claim to be part of the church, to receive revelation, and to love the Lord. Some of their posts are uplifting and encouraging, but some of their posts teach things that can be found in direct conflict with the Lord's commandments. Some of their posts might not necessarily be in direct conflict, but they are critical of the church in the name of their love for the Lord. These people are much more ambiguous. What are their true motives? What does it mean that they call themselves members? Because heaven knows you can call yourself a member without actually following Christ. I don't have any real desire to discover their motives. If they are sincere, the Lord will work with them and hopefully they will listen. If they are not sincere, then the Lord can handle all of that. I don't need to know their motives or even condemn them. Rather, I'd like to highlight a warning from this story. The man of God died because he followed the ambiguous old prophet who had some claim to God but also lied. I don't think we'll get killed by a lion if we follow these accounts, but I do think it can spiritually deaden us. It can blind us. Isn't that funny? The rest of the world would call us blind and accuse us of drinking the Kool-aid, and yet, either side could be logically labelled as propaganda. Both sides label themselves enlightened. Everyone thinks their version is the closest one to the truth. So how do we know whether we can trust the old prophet? How do we know whether we should whole-heartedly follow the prophet of our church? I can't answer that question for everyone. All I know is that I talk to the Lord, and He responds. I can't answer for other people, but the more I study the gospel and the church, the more I see the Lord's perfect hand working with the imperfection of mankind. I have watched some of my loved ones listen to these posts and believe they can disobey the Lord in little ways and be fine, and I have watched some of my loved ones turn these voices off. With the experiences that I've had in the gospel, I have no desire to follow anyone (real or on the internet) who tells me that I can disobey the Lord. It's not just about avoiding dying either. I have found too much joy in the protection and safety of the Lord, and I refuse to lose that joy. I testify that being obedient to the Lord provides safety and warmth and true happiness. I testify that even in the darkest times, following Him is where we will find respite. I testify that He teaches us through powerful stories in the scriptures, and that His patterns reflect across all generations on the earth. I testify that there is safety in joy in following the word of the Lord as given from Him directly. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

In this episode Kerry and Dr. Jeffrey Chadwick explore how the kingdom of Solomon divided, and how that led to idolatry in the north. They look at the Hebrew words and the archaeology that help us understand what is going on with this division and how it will eventually lead to the scattering of Israel. They help us understand how the institution of this idolatry guides the rest of the history of the Old Testament and how it happens in our lives. They explore what this has to do with temples in ancient days and in our day. They look at how this affects the Book of Mormon story as well. They discuss how temples were important, and how true temple worship and false temple worship affect everything that happens in their lives and our lives. Then they look into the story of Elijah and what was happening in the kingdom of Israel and how Elijah was trying to stop institutional idol worship. They explore the history of the kings of Israel at that time. They look into how idolatry is real in our lives. After that Kerry and his wife, Julianne, explore how what Elijah is teaching about halting between two opinions is not what we usually think it is, and how we do the same things in our lives.We are grateful for our executive producers, P.

He was a man after God's own heart, a conqueror of giants, and the builder of an empire. Yet, a single evening on a rooftop changed everything. If Israel's most brilliant and wise kings could fall so completely to the flesh and the world, what does it take for us to stand steady today? Summary: In this heavy but necessary episode, we dive into the tragic and cautionary text of 2 Samuel 11 through 1 Kings 11. We analyze the United Kingdom of Israel at its absolute peak of wealth, wisdom, and power, and dissect the exact vulnerabilities that fractured a golden age. The Rooftop Blueprint: We map the micro-steps of David's tragedy—from staying home when he should have been at war, to seeing, looking, inquiring, and taking. We learn why the Savior raised the bar to the level of the heart to stop this momentum before it kills us spiritually. The Cost of the Cover-Up: We uncover the horrific length David went to in order to hide his sin, culminating in the calculated sacrifice of the fiercely loyal Uriah. Thou Art the Man: We break down Nathan's masterful parable of the ewe lamb and analyze why David was so blind to his own hypocrisy until the prophet held up the mirror. The Sins of the Children: We witness the agonizing reality of the law of the harvest as David reaps the whirlwind within his own family tree—exploring the tragedy of Amnon and Tamar, and the heartbreaking rebellion of Absalom. The Wisdom and Wealth of Solomon: We transition to 1 Kings to study Solomon's blank check from God. We celebrate his request for an "understanding heart" to judge with empathy rather than cold calculation, but trace how wealth, materialism, and political alliances slowly sapped his spiritual strength. The Temple vs. The Palace: We contrast the seven years spent building the House of the Lord with the thirteen years Solomon spent building his own massive palace, asking ourselves: "Whose kingdom are we truly trying to build?" Call-to-Action: Saul fell to pride, David fell to the flesh, and Solomon fell to worldliness. Which of these three areas is the adversary currently using to target your foundation? Let's have an honest, supportive discussion in the comments below.

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes(00:00) An overview of these chapters. The kingdom of Israel divides when Solomon's son Rehoboam refuses to reduce the burden on the northern tribes.(06:55) A brief history of the Lost Ten Tribes in the north and Judah in the south.(10:48) Jeroboam, worried that his people will turn their hearts towards the leaders in the south when they go to the temple in Jerusalem, decides to build rival sanctuaries in Dan and Bethel.(13:25) Do not take counsel from your fears or be fooled by an imitation.(19:18) A man of God warns Jeroboam against false worship, prophesying of a future day when Josiah will destroy it.(22:17) What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? Could Shishak of Egypt have taken this treasure from the Jerusalem temple?(29:13) Elijah, an embodiment of great power, is a type of many prophets. All prophets are types of Christ. (31:49) Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by a raven. He goes to Zarephath and asks a widow woman for her barrel flour and jar of oil, promising they will never become empty during the famine.(40:30) Elijah raises the widow's son from the dead. Jesus duplicates the miracles of Elijah.(43:28) Obadiah, part of Ahab's court, saves 100 prophets from Queen Jezebel and also helps Elijah.(47:29) Obadiah and Elijah's “50” can be seen as part of a bigger picture, as members of a choral arrangement that were connected to the temple and the sacred drama in many ancient cultures.(52:37) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven. They fail.(57:14) At times the Lord will manifest miracles to show his might and prove that he is God. The Book of Mormon is that proof for us today.(1:03:40) The famine ends and Queen Jezebel seeks the life of Elijah. In his loneliness, Elijah experiences deep sadness, believing that the prophets are dead. At times, we may feel as Elijah did. Being with the Saints and remembering the truth of the gospel message can bolster our resilience.(1:11:44) Elijah's experience with the still small voice of the Lord.(1:18:17) Ahab, king of Israel, is attacked by the Syrian army. A prophet tells Ahab that Israel will win. Ahab later desires the vineyard of Naboth, who refuses to sell his land. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, orchestrates a conspiracy to frame Naboth for blasphemy, and Ahab acquires the land through deceit. Elijah comes to inform Ahab that Ahab’s line will cease, that Jezebel will be eaten by dogs, and that Ahab’s blood will be licked up by dogs in the very spot where Naboth was killed. Time vindicates the prophets. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 378 | 1 Kings 12-22, Come Follow Me 2026 (June 29-July 5) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

Dr. Lili de Hoyos Anderson continues her deep dive into the ministry of Elijah from the spectacular fire of Mount Carmel to the still small voice that followed, revealing how God meets his servants at their breaking points, why the sealing power Elijah holds is the foundation of every family's eternal hope, and what it means to exercise righteous power in a world that has demonized it.YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/452lhpFd7CgFREE PDF DOWNLOADS OF followHIM QUOTE BOOKSNew Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastNTBookOld Testament: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastOTBookBook of Mormon: https://tinyurl.com/PodcastBMBook WEEKLY NEWSLETTERhttps://tinyurl.com/followHIMnewsletter SOCIAL MEDIAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/followHIMpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/followhimpodcastTIMECODE0:00 - Part 2 - Dr. Lili de Hoyos Anderson2:44  Where do you stand?4:19 The Mt.

→ Watch on YouTube → Detailed Show Notes(00:00) An overview of these chapters.(04:11) David stays in Jerusalem instead of going to war with his troops. He lies with Bathsheba and then tries to cover his sin by arranging for the death of her husband, Uriah. Reading this story through the lens of the honor culture in the ancient Near East.(08:13) David's fall helps us see the lines of defense we can put in place to prevent us from breaking the law of chastity.(19:10) Chaos ensues in David’s family because of his example. Nathan pitches a legal case to David where a wealthy man steals a poor man's little lamb. Nathan says, “Thou art the man!” He prophesies chaos in the House of David as a consequence of his choices.(20:05) David's son Amnon takes his sister Tamar by force. Tamar's other brother Absalom kills Amnon in revenge. Absalom rebels against his father David and declares himself the king. David's general Joab slays Absalom.(28:24) In the Book of Mormon, Jacob rebukes those who excuse themselves in committing sins like David and Solomon. Their immoral transgressions broke the hearts of their wives. Their children lost confidence because of their bad examples.(31:30) The last four chapters of 2 Samuel are an appendix containing diverse materials arranged in a chiastic order.(35:47) Solomon becomes the king. He asks the Lord for a wise and understanding heart.(38:42) Two mothers contend over a baby and Solomon determines who the true mother is. His wisdom and understanding exceed that of all men, but then Solomon begins to worships false gods. Our strengths can also be our downfall.(44:24) The First Israelite Temple is built by Solomon. We can find increased divine assistance when we attend the temple and partner with the Lord. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 377 | 2 Samuel 8-24; 1 Kings 1-11, Come Follow Me 2026 (June 22-28) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.
