Podcasts about appointed times

Dave Brisbin 5.24.26 When Jesus says, do not judge, for in the way that you judge, you will be judged, and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you, he is saying something immense. But we don't get it. Squeezed through our default perspective, which is always legal, we see life through a performance-based, reward and punishment paradigm that peels off just one of the possible meanings of Jesus' saying: that if we consciously judge/condemn others, we will be judged back. And through our legal lens, God is the one doing the retaliatory judging in some karma-like way. But the Aramaic language itself and Jesus as a Jewish mystic point to much more. Our minds are judging machines. That's all they do. Compare, contrast, calculate odds for advantage and survival, dualistically judging each moment and everything in it as good or bad for our needs and agenda. Good and evil appear mutually exclusive and morally opposed against the standards we have absorbed since childhood. And those standards objectify all of life around us, create heroes and villains, preferences and aversions, and a sense of separation from everything we encounter. Like an exhausting game of chess, every move we make is calculated toward a never-ending series of outcomes always present in our minds but never the moment. In Aramaic, taba and bisha, good and evil, are not legal terms, they are relational. Literally meaning ripe and unripe, the highest good and evil for an ancient, agrarian society, they form a continuum from immaturity to maturity—the ability to nourish, preserve life and relationship. To begin to see good and evil as a continuum of functionality is a first step into the flow of life and away from constant judging, objectifying, separating. The full reach of Jesus' statement is to master the automatic, unconscious working of our minds that takes us out of the flow of every moment, out of connection with everything we encounter. Until we can use our minds as the tools they are, tempered with the ability to stop judging, seeing life as pairs of opposites, we remain stalled along our Way from bisha to taba…and our own sweet ripeness.

There Is an Appointed Time for Everything — Episode 296 Mini Miracles From Minor Moments  ·  with Linda Gullo Scripture tells us there is an appointed time for everything, and the older I get, the more those words settle into my bones. In Episode 296 of Mini Miracles From Minor Moments, I share what it has felt like to move through season after season — from babies in the house to an empty nest, from boundless energy to a body that asks me to slow down. I think about the 53 years my family has spent in one yard, the pets we have loved and lost, and the keepsakes that once meant everything. This is an episode about change, acceptance, and the quiet plan I believe is at work in every stage of life. Change shows up in small, ordinary ways. I tried to screw a new garden hose onto the spigot and could not get the old one loose — a tiny moment that reminded me things shift, and we have to adapt right along with them. I talk about how teenagers start out as their own little people, blend together through the junior high years, then slowly find their unique spirit again, and the pull that social media places on that tender process. I look back on the boulders my husband Tony dug up to build a waterfall, the farmland that became our home, and the holidays and gatherings with friends who have since moved away or passed on. Every one of those memories has its own appointed time, and I find real peace in trusting that God designed it that way. This episode looks ahead too. I share my thoughts on AI — how it is showing up everywhere now, how our children and grandchildren are growing up with it, and how we can learn to tell what is genuine from what is artificial. I even created some music through AI that you will hear on upcoming episodes, and I want you to know my words here are always truly my own. I talk about bridging the wisdom of older generations with the tools of a new one, the gift of a wonderful Mother's Day spent with family, and the simple choice between an audiobook and a quiet hour with a real book and a cup of tea. My hope is that you walk away asking yourself one gentle question: what time am I in right now? Scripture's reminder that there is an appointed time for everything — and how that truth brings comfort through every season of life. The garden hose that would not budge — a small, everyday picture of how things change and ask us to adapt. Watching teenagers grow from individuals, into look-alike groups, and back into their own unique spirits — and the pull social media places on that tender process. Fifty-three years in one yard — the boulders, the waterfall, the gardens, and the farmland that became a family home. The pets, keepsakes, and sentimental treasures we hold dear — and making peace with the truth that their time, too, will pass. Learning about AI — what is real, what is artificial, and why our children and grandchildren need to know the difference. My art therapy classes returning this June — four-week sessions on Thursday afternoons at one o'clock for teenagers and adults at my Delight in Living office. A Reflection for You So I will leave you with the same question I have been sitting with: what time are you in right now? Are you moving into a larger home or downsizing into a smaller one, planning travels, sorting old photos, or learning something brand new? Whatever season you find yourself in, it has been given to you on purpose, and there is grace waiting inside it. Take a quiet moment to name where you are, and trust that the next step forward is already being prepared for you.

It's part of human nature to seek out a life of meaning and purpose. But seeking it doesn't guarantee finding it, leading to the frustration and hopelessness many people often feel. Dr. Tony Evans shares the secret of making the most out of life while there's still time.

Summary This conversation reveals that the Kingdom Passover is the spiritual doorway into God's Kingdom, made possible through the crucifixion and blood of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes that this is not about human effort, but about receiving what Christ has already accomplished through grace and faith. Through His blood, believers enter into God's presence, stand in His victory, and participate in the unfolding Kingdom on earth. The message highlights unity, transformation, trust, and the present reality of walking in Christ's authority as part of His Body. Show Notes 1.

This is a fireball of an episode! Not only do we review where we are in the place of history and in God's plan for the ages, but this deep-dive introduces the basics behind God's appointed times and seasons as outlined in the Biblical text and their relationship and foreshadowing of the eternally-significant sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In this episode, Justin shares personal stories of seeing the dead raised, faithfulness and promotion, and some key elements of sustainable revival.

Parsha “Tzav,” (Lev. 6 through 8) continues the instruction concerning specific types of ‘sacrifices’ and ‘offerings,’ followed by the related process for sanctification of Aaron and his sons as cohenim. There is a stunning contrast here, too, since this is the timeframe of His “Appointed Times” or moedim, known as Pesach, or Passover, and followed by the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. NOT to be confused with re-naming the Most Important Event in Human History with a fake, pagan, abomination of a ‘fertility goddess.’ Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a discussion that will no doubt offend many (as He did). But arguably not nearly as much as the issue so clearly offends Him. You might call it the unequivocally “NOT-Easter” Special. First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/SSM-4-3-Tzav-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 In the Sabbath Day midrash, Mark this week explores the stunning CONTRAST between those ‘offerings’ and ‘sacrifices,’ — which Scripture again emphasizes in such detail — and the Single Sacrifice which has since be re-named to something it is certainly not. Is there no irony in the claim that the single ‘Final’ and Ultimate Sacrifice has been renamed in an idolatrous celebration that invites the death penalty? The haftorah reading begins with a warning that those who originally heard failed to heed. “You trust in lying words…” said the prophet YermeYahu (Jeremiah). “Obey My voice,” He told them. They misunderstood – and ignored – the lesson of the ‘sacrifices’ – and STILL DO. But it is the lesson of Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9 that is most pertinent to the idolatry that is so pervasive today! Tzav: “Lots of ‘offerings – ONE Sacrifice – Even More Abomination Now – and Little Discernment” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/WT-CooH-4-4-26-Tzav-Lots-of-Offerings-ONE-sacrifice-LOTS-of-pagan-abomination-but-little-discernment-NOT-easter-special-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

Why Bible Prophecy Is Hidden from the Masses explores why so many fail to understand prophecy and how Scripture reveals it only to those who walk in covenant faithfulness. In this episode, we examine how the Torah—not headlines—holds the key to understanding prophetic truth. We'll see how YHWH's appointed times reveal the pattern for Messiah's return and why modern prophetic confusion is often rooted in abandoning the front of the Book.

LEVITICUS 12 — LAWFUL UNCLEANNESS, APPOINTED TIME, AND HOLINESS PROTOCOL AFTER BLESSINGPart 1: Uncleanness Without Guilt, Access Without ShameTeachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class covers Leviticus 12 in full, a short chapter with heavy covenant government. Leviticus 12 does not address transgression. It governs lawful uncleanness, appointed time, and holiness protocol after blessing.This chapter establishes a critical distinction Israel must understand: uncleanness is not always moral guilt, yet restriction still governs access near the Presence.Leviticus 12 trains the flock to submit without shame and obey without entitlement. It teaches order after life, boundaries after blessing, and restoration by Torah procedure rather than emotion.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEUncleanness as Status, Not Moral VerdictLeviticus 12:1–2Childbirth produces an unclean status for an appointed time. Torah establishes that blood governs access because life is in the blood. This restriction is protocol, not condemnation.Covenant Obligation Continues Under LimitationLeviticus 12:3Circumcision on the eighth day proves restriction does not cancel covenant identity. Torah obedience continues even when access is temporarily limited.Appointed Time is Legal BoundaryLeviticus 12:4–5Purification is governed by scheduled days, not feeling. Waiting here is legal holiness order, not mysticism. Restoration is never improvised.Distinction Without Ideology or CommentaryLeviticus 12:5Torah legislates distinctions without moral explanation. The command is obeyed as written, without importing speculation, politics, or tradition.Atonement as Purification of StatusLeviticus 12:6–7Atonement in this chapter restores access status. Torah uses cleansing language for holiness protocol, not only for transgression.Mercy Provides Access to ObedienceLeviticus 12:8Provision for the poor shows Yahuah does not cancel the law. He provides lawful means for all Israel to obey.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSUncleanness is not always sinRestriction is not rejectionBlood governs access because life is sacredWaiting is legal obedienceRestoration follows Torah orderPurification is not repentanceMercy supports obedience without lowering the standardLeviticus 12 teaches that holiness protocol applies even after blessing. Near the Presence, access is governed by Yahuah's appointed order.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 12Leviticus 15Leviticus 16Leviticus 17Genesis 17Numbers 19Exodus 19Deuteronomy 18Deuteronomy 32Habakkuk 21 Samuel 1Ezekiel 45Hebrews 9Luke 2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only. No CashApp. No PayPal.FINAL WORDLeviticus 12 governs lawful life near holiness.It separates status from guilt.Restriction from rejection.Order from emotion.Holiness is not negotiated. Access is governed.Final Heart Check:Will you honor Torah boundaries without accusation, and submit to appointed order without negotiating access?

The final part of what might be called “Act I” of ‘the Exodus’ (parsha Bo, Exodus/Shemot 10:1 – 13:16) concludes with the final set of the ‘3 sets of 3, plus one’ plagues, and the ‘death of the firstborn. But there is much more, because it also lays out the first of what are the Moedim, or Appointed Times, of YHVH, and what is not only the most dramatic, but so fundamental to all of Scripture, even if much of ‘the church’ may have become disconnected from the ‘why’. It again bgins with what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship contends is THE key understanding in the Book, and of the Creator Himself, “ki ani YHVH,” (no, not “I am the LORD,” but His real Name, and just how he makes very clear what that means.) It is also clear that this final plague is very different from the others that precede it, as the Erev Shabbat reading outlines: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SSM-1-23-26-Bo-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 This is the story of the first Pesach, or Passover. Our fathers’ fathers were supposed to “teach your children.” It was YHVH’s first demonstrated ‘moed,’ or of His ‘Appointed Times.’ And He gave Instruction about it — to remember it, to set it apart, “forever,” and “throughout your generations.” So what happened? The Sabbath Day midrash begins with a question, and it’s one that may even be overlooked today: Bo: “What is all this concern about the Firstborn?” The answer will help a Whole Lot of the pieces to fall into place. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/WT-CooH-1-24-26-Bo-What-is-this-Concern-About-the-Firstborn-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

This sermon is included in Pastor Evan's series entitled "Can You See It?". Habbakuk asks for a vision. God fulfills it in His appointed time. We can trust God will bring things to pass in His perfect, appointed time in our lives. Just because we see it doesn't mean it will happen yet.

In this episode, David Wollen walks through Genesis 41, showing how Joseph’s rise from prisoner to ruler points us to Jesus, the greater Savior raised up at the Father’s appointed time.

Abraham's encounter with God in Genesis 18 reveals that divine timing and faithful obedience work together in powerful ways. God appeared to Abraham not during a moment of prayer or worship, but during ordinary obedience at a place where Abraham had previously built an altar. The three visitors included two angels and Jesus himself in a pre-incarnate appearance. Abraham's response demonstrated recognition of authority, dependence on grace, and urgent service. God promised Sarah would have a son within a year, showing that God's timing is perfect even when our hope falters. Sarah's initial doubt transformed into powerful faith over time, proving that faith grows through trust and obedience despite delays and difficulties.CLICK ME: Sermon Outline⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TIKTOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

P.560 At The Appointed Time At The Appointed Place by Apostle Grace Lubega

P.560 At The Appointed Time At The Appointed Place by Apostle Grace Lubega

Send us a textStart with the wrong picture of God and suffering will feel like proof that you've been abandoned. Start with God's holiness and sovereignty, and the same suffering can become a place where joy takes root. We gather around the book of Job to ask harder questions than comfort usually allows: What makes divine hatred different from human malice? Why does servanthood sound offensive until grace makes it possible? And how do we hold on when answers don't arrive on our schedule?We walk through the sharp contrast between God's perfect attributes and our projections, exposing how easy it is to cherry‑pick verses to build a custom deity. From there, we reframe joy as confidence that our Redeemer lives, even when the night stretches on. The panel wrestles with Job's integrity and the charge of self‑righteousness, weighing whether protest and lament can still be faithful. Along the way we revisit Jesus' teaching on being “unprofitable servants,” the humbling truth that our best is merely our duty, and the paradox that God serves us first by grace so we can serve at all.This is a frank, scripture‑soaked exploration of suffering, sanctification, and spiritual maturity. Expect tension, nuance, and practical encouragement: embrace trials as appointments, not accidents; refuse to edit God to fit your preferences; look to Christ, the Master who suffered before you; and learn to suffer well without losing heart. If you're tired of thin answers and want a sturdier faith for real life, this conversation will meet you where it hurts and point you where hope lives.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's wrestling, and leave a review to help more listeners find thoughtful, Bible‑anchored conversations like this.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat if your time is already measured—and your work today echoes into eternity? We walk through Job 7 to uncover a bracing truth: life has fixed boundaries set by God, and within them we're called to labor like hired workers under a wise and sovereign Master. That lens changes everything. Purpose is not about comfort or clout; it's about faithfulness that glorifies Christ and prepares us for the rest God promises beyond the heat of the day.We press into the hireling metaphor to ask the hard questions: What is our actual assignment? How do evangelism, obedience, and love fit into a life that's brief and bounded? And how does the promise of resurrection in John 5 calibrate our priorities when both the righteous and the unrighteous will be raised? Along the way, we confront a cultural fixation on “goats” and “stars,” exposing how easy it is to promote human fame while neglecting the glory of Jesus, the true star of Jacob. If we're promoters, our campaign should be Christ's renown—his beauty, his authority, his saving work.We also tackle the seduction of comfort. Ease can numb dependence, breed complacency, and turn vibrant faith into silence. Job's longing for shade isn't quitting; it's the honest hope for rest after work is done. That desire invites us to live awake: to hold comforts lightly, guard our hearts against distraction, and keep our attention on the One who endured suffering without sin. Affliction and faith can coexist, because the power isn't in how much faith we muster, but in whom our faith rests—Jesus.Listen for a frank, scripture-shaped call to purpose: glorify God, serve as ministers of reconciliation, and steward your appointed days with courage. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review so more people can find truth that steadies the soul.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat happens when faith collides with months of pain and the comforts that once felt secure fall away? We dive into Job's raw honesty, the gravity of God's sovereignty, and the messy, necessary practice of lament that doesn't abandon trust. Along the way, our panel shares personal stories of despair and deliverance, challenges easy answers, and asks whether yearning for relief is a failure of faith or a faithful cry from the furnace.We start by naming the quiet dangers—career success, worldly comfort, and the subtle pride that grows when life runs smoothly. From there, we sit with Job's integrity: a man called blameless who refuses to curse God even as he questions the point of his days. One voice argues Job should have counted it joy; another insists that biblical joy doesn't deny grief but reframes it under God's steady hand. The tension leads us to Gethsemane, where Christ embodies obedient lament: let this cup pass, yet not my will. That prayer becomes a template for faithful suffering—fully honest, fully surrendered.The conversation takes a hard look at sovereignty. If God gives and takes, can we still call him good? We refuse to sand down Scripture, instead inviting listeners to trust a God who authorizes what he hates to accomplish what he loves. We weigh the difference between wishing pain would end and wishing life would end, and we talk about practices that hold you in the night: honest prayer, scripture saturation, accountable community, and a long view of sanctification. Job's story isn't a call to stoicism; it's a call to resilient hope that holds fast when explanations run out.If this resonates, share it with someone walking through a long night, subscribe for more thoughtful conversations, and leave a review with one insight that challenged you today.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

This Sunday, we studied the apostle Paul's encounter with the major philosophers of his day in Athens. He encounters a myriad of Greek religious and philosophical ideas. How does he effectively engage them with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our study will be taken from Acts 17:16-33 and it is entitled “Now is the Appointed Time.” I don't know if you have ever thought about the question, “If you could live at any point in history and any place in history, where would you choose?”  We often can have a rather romantic notion of some time in history when we thought the world was a more beautiful, or a more exciting, or more noble time in which to live. We think that our times are the hardest for Christians and the mission of Christ. The doctrine of God's providence teaches us that God has chosen and appointed the very times and the places for each and all of our lives. That's what Paul proclaims in Athens. We are living in exactly the right time and the right place for God to do His good work in us and through us for His glory. As we consider how to live as Christians in a world full of suffering and injustice, it is helpful for us to know that God is at work and we don't have to play God to orchestrate the best scenarios for kingdom life and gospel advancement. God is at work and His purposes cannot fail! My wife's favorite verse in the Bible is Job 42:2 where the suffering Job declares “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Can you say that? How does our life and mission change when we believe that God has providentially orchestrated everything for our good and the salvation of others? How does that shape our faith and the sharing of our faith in a world that seems so far from Christ? Come on Sundays at 9 & 11 and let's be encouraged together through the Word and the worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope you can come and hope you will invite a friend.

Appointed Time

God has made everything beautiful in its time -- The Bible tells us there's a time for everything, yet we've been given the mind of Christ & made in the image of God, equipping us to face whatever life throws our way. We were not made to worry, but run the race that's set before us in confidence through Christ.

Do you know what time it is? What are you doing with your time? Death has a way of humbling we humans. We feel almost invincible when we are younger, feeling like we will live forever, then tragedy strikes. In times of tragedy, we are reminded of our temporal nature. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, many people were taken aback. Paul Fineman of ESPN was driven to re-valuate his entire life and is getting ready to make a drastic career move. What are you doing with your time? We all have a limited time, and we will be held accountable for what we do with our time. Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants us to become aware of our personal eschatology. How is your personal Leadership? How are you leading your life, what impact are you making? When we live our lives like they matter, then we die, LIKE IT MATTERED! It is written; It is appointed for man to die one time and then comes the judgement. Tune into Like It Matters Radio so you can live your life to someday hear the words; “Well done my good and faithful servant!” The Time is Now!

Sukkot: The Feast of Tabernacles 2025 - The Appointed Times of Yehovah by Shawn Ozbun

Territorial Spirits, True Justice, and the King's Appointed Times — Preparing for the Fall Feasts | KIB 498 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael & Mary Lou Lake address how believers can stand against territorial spirits, pursue biblical justice, and return to the Lord's appointed times with a Christ-centered focus. From practical Feast of Tabernacles ideas to deep dives on Sabbath, Calvinism vs. free will, Lady Justice, Daniel's warfare, the Septuagint timeline, and cycles of sanctification, this episode equips the remnant to walk wisely in perilous days. What you'll learn: Why curses “without a cause” won't land—and how to close open doors Practical, family-friendly ways to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles The difference between God's feasts and paganized “your feasts” (Amos 5) Biblical justice vs. the idol of “Lady Justice” Scriptural examples of territorial warfare (Daniel, Ephesus/Acts) How Sabbath and the fall feasts form kingdom rhythms of rest & readiness Dangers of over-generalizing theology; foreknowledge, predestination & free will “Cycles of sanctification” and staying Christ-centric in every feast

Rabbi Schneider encourages Christians to recognize the Hebrew Fall Holy Days not as just Jewish traditions, but as God's Holy Appointed Days. ********************************************* Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah dates 2025: Begins sunset Monday, September 22, 2025 Ends nightfall Tuesday, September 24, 2025 Yom Kippur dates 2025: Begins sunset Wednesday, October 1, 2025 Ends nightfall Thursday, October 2, 2025 Sukkot dates 2025: Begins sunset Monday, October 6, 2025 Ends nightfall Tuesday, October 13, 2025

Is waiting wearing you down?In this devotional, Megan J. Conner reminds us that God’s delays are not His denials. Drawing from Habakkuk 2:3 and the fruit-bearing seasons of biblical heroes, Megan encourages readers to trust that every season—especially the slow ones—serves a sacred purpose in God’s perfect timing.

By Elias Vazquez - This sermon discusses the significance of time, particularly the distinction between Chronos (sequential time) and Kairos (appointed time). It emphasizes the difference between Chronos vs Kairos moments in life, and the importance of understanding the two within the context of Biblical Scripture. It
