Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable; he was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, he rose to the second or third position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible other than Jesus Christ of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Without a clear understanding of the book of Daniel you will not understand the times in which we live. This study contains 16 hours of verse by verse teachings.

Dr. Carmen Imes is an associate professor of Old Testament at Talbot School of Theology and the author of a few books includingBearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters. She releases weekly Torah Tuesday videos on YouTube. We talk about two different debated issues in the OT: 1) what does it mean to “take” (bear) the Lord's name in vain (hint—it's not what you think), and 2) Was David's sin with Bathsheba a consensual affair or something closer to rape.

The flood is over and God promises to never flood the earth again in judgment. Soon, Noah plants a vineyard and becomes drunk. His son comes into Noah's tent, seeing his father's nakedness, and Noah curses his son's son for this breach. Soon, the people of the city of Babylon endeavor to build a tower that reaches the heavens, defying God's command to fill the earth. God intervenes by scattering the people and confusing their language, humbling the proud and rebellious city.Bible ReadingsGenesis 11:1-9Genesis 9:8-28Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

As they enter the Sphere, the mages begin to unravel a series of clues about why the building was surrounded and what has already transpired inside. 

Vintage City Church // Multiply Pt.2 // Greg SandersIn this part 2 of our series of Jeremiah 29 we are diving into 3 key instructions from God for how captive Israel is to live in Babylon:1. Build homes and plan to stay.2. Plant gardens and eat the food you produce. 3. Marry and have children, find spouses for them, have many grandchildren.

In each generation, God's people are called to live faithfully for Him. Kingdoms rise and fall, but God's kingdom is the only one that will stand forever. The book of Daniel gives God's people a sweeping view of history and inspires them to live faithfully by grounding them in the hope and promise of God's everlasting kingdom.Change. Improvement. Progress. We all believe that history is going somewhere. Where did this belief come from? And where IS history going? In this sermon, we meet Daniel and his three friends as they are taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. As we follow their story, we discover the difference between Babylon's view of progress and God's view of progress, and we see how all of history tells the story of God and his everlasting kingdom.

Daily Dose of Hope January 19, 2025 Day 1 of Week 43   Scripture:  Ezekiel 1-3; John 1   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  Happy Sunday!  I do hope I will be seeing you in worship this morning.  Our sermon is on growing faith.  It seems appropriate to mention that here because reading the Bible is one of the main ways we can grow our faith and grow in our walk with Jesus.  So great job to all of you!    Today, we are starting the Old Testament book of Ezekiel.  Ezekiel was a priest living in Judah during the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem.  He was part of the first wave of refugees taken to live in Babylon.  Ezekiel's book opens up by telling us that he is living in an Israeli refugee camp of sorts in Babylon and it's his 30th birthday.  This is important because it's the day he would have officially been installed as a priest if he were still in Jerusalem.  But God has other plans for Ezekiel.   It's on this day, the day he turned thirty, that God shows up to call Ezekiel into his service.  But, not surprisingly, it's a bit unconventional.  He sees this highly unusual vision.  It was a large cloud with four large, winged creatures and each creature has four faces. Under each creature is a sparkly wheel.  And the creatures wings were supporting a throne with a human-like figure who was full of light.  Ezekiel realizes this is the glory of God.  And this is kind of surprising.  What is God's glory doing in Babylon?    These first three chapters are really Ezekiel's commissioning as a prophet.  God has called him to warn the Israelites that there are consequences coming.  They have broken covenant, they have worshiped other gods, and they are oppressing the poor.  God has allowed one successful Babylonian attack but there are more coming.  Everything will be destroyed and God wants Ezekiel to boldly share this with his people.   One interesting piece is when God has Ezekiel eat the scroll.  The scroll represented the words of God that Ezekiel was going to share with the people.  It tasted like honey.  I can't help but draw a comparison between Ezekiel eating God's words and our need to digest God's words too.  Unless we consume the Word of God, we can't live it or share it with those who need to hear it.  Does God's Word taste like honey to you?   Ezekiel is a very interesting prophet.  I think we are going to find it fascinating.  I'm not saying you will like it but you will find it fascinating.   We are also starting the Gospel of John in the New Testament.  We are looking at chapter one. God's Word in the Old Testament was his self-expression. Here, the apostle John is referring to the Word as God's ultimate self-expression, Jesus Christ. If we are to know God, we need to look at Jesus. Jesus is God and God is Jesus. God loved the world so much that he provided a way for all of us to know him and be reconciled to him. God took on human form and moved into our neighborhood. God walked and talked among his people, demonstrating the full extent of his love. We have seen the Father through the life of the Son.   Let's take a moment and read this classic Christmas text from Matthew 1:18-24 and then we will return to John 1, This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).   Jesus was Immanuel, meaning God with us. Christmas is not simply about a little baby being born and laid in a manger. Christmas is about God coming down to be with his people, to live among us, and to demonstrate the full extent of his love. Everything that Jesus did, from healing people, feeding people, loving the poor and the outcast, dying on a cross, and defeating death through the resurrection, illustrated God's incredible, amazing love for his people. We could go much deeper than that, there is certainly a great deal more to say, but I'm going to stop there for today. Spend some time in prayer and simply think about the wonder of the incarnation.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

DANIEL AND APOCALYPSE NOW AND NOT YET  The word apocalypse (Apocalypto or revelation) means ‘the unveiling of things that have been hidden or covered up'. God hides things from us until he is ready to reveal them to us, and people cover things up until God is ready to expose them. Both these meaning of apocalypse are occurring in our world at the moment - like never before. The idea of apocalypse occurs in two stages – first there is a gradual unveiling of many things being in the process of change at the same time without any clear indication of what they are going to change into – the winds of change – Now and not yet. The second and final change stage is a suddenness of something new happening that stops us in our tracks as the manifestation of a momentous change finally occurs. It was like that on the day of Pentecost. Jesus told 120 people to wait in an upper room for the ‘promise of the Father' and they did. Jesus had told them that they would be ‘baptised with the Holy Spirit not many days from now'. Jesus had been unveiling to them in his teachings the wonder of things to come but they did not fully understand what he meant. They knew something was going to happen but they did not know when, or what it was going to look like. Then the day of Pentecost arrived And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:2). The entire world was changed that day and the rest is history. I believe that we are currently living in the apocalyptic days where there are signs of great change occurring in all nations of the earth, but we do not know how many years it will be before God accomplishes his final purposes for the world and his Church and for each individual soul, and we don't know what it will look like. But Daniel prophesied that there would be a coalition of ten nations or world rulers that will seek to rule the entire world in the end days. The 120 in the upper room had to wait ten days for the apocalyptic outpouring of the Holy Spirit, but they were not told it would be ten days – Pentecost - and the number ten speaks of times of faith and patience through times of trial and testing (Deuteronomy 8:2). And we are in times of trial and testing and patience on such a global scale like never before.  I'm revisiting last week's talk about Daniel's apocalyptic prophecy in Daniel in chapter 2 about King Nebuchadnezzar having a dream where he saw a vision of a great statue that had a head of gold and shoulders and arms of silver and an abdomen and thighs of brass and legs of iron and feet and toes of iron and clay. And a stone was supernaturally cut out from a mountain, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay and broke them in pieces. Daniel said to the king ‘There is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will come to pass in the latter days – the end times. (Daniel 2:28) This vision depicts the nature of the world kingdoms from Babylon down to the present day and history shows us the dates when these world kingdoms actually ruled. The Scripture goes on to say ‘And in the days of those rulers the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed…It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever'…The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.” The actual feet of iron and clay represents a multitude of global rulers that are already in existence and have been for some years with we don't know how many years to go before the identity of the ten toes is fully revealed (Apocalypto). I believe that the overall ‘feet nations' – not the toes - are current global nations made up of both harsh totalitarian governments and fragile democracies that are currently attempting to mix together through trade and political alliances but who cannot form a lasting bond. And in the meantime apocalyptic events are cascading upon the world at an alarming rate. Daniel's prophecy was pointing to what would happen in the ‘latter days' and he placed those ‘latter days' events in the time frame of being ‘in the now and not yet days of those rulers.' That means in the apocalyptic days of the global nations out from which would one day emerge those ten rulers who attempt to rule the earth.  The great stone represents Jesus Christ over his Kingdom of faithful people. That Kingdom smites the image on the feet and ten toes of a ten-nation world empire destined to yet emerge at the end of the age, whenever that will be – now and not yet. The feet are present now but the toes have yet to emerge on the world stage and be identified. So I believe we are in the ‘days' of preparation when God will set up his end time Kingdom in a new measure of spiritual power and authority to be revealed in greater measure in God's people than ever before in the earth. Indeed, there is a wind of the Spirit blowing in the Church exposing much darkness in the Church and at the same time revealing more light and truth to the Church for those seeking God and his Kingdom. The Now and Not yet theme is mentioned four times book of Revelation where it refers to Jesus as the one who is and was and is to come.  God's people will be God's living stones supernaturally cut out of a mountain and built together as God's dwelling place in the earth – God's House, the Church. The prophet Haggai said  ‘I will shake all nations… and I will fill my house (Church)with glory…The glory of this latter house (Church) shall be greater than the former, says the LORD (Haggai 2:6-9). In the days of Haggai that Scripture was prophetic not only for Israel and for the Church – but for each of us individually as his House, as temples of the Holy Spirit. The 'setting up' of this Kingdom is a work in process – now and not yet. The apocalyptic culmination of political darkness and evil in the earth will be the ten toed nations. The apocalyptic culmination of Spiritual light in the earth will be the Bride of Christ. These are both works in progress – now and not yet. One is a work of corruption and will be the work of man and one is the work of purification and will be the work of God's grace. Ephesians 5:15, because we live in times of much corruption see that you walk responsibly and diligently and wisely, redeeming the time thoughtfully, seeking to understand what the will of the Lord is. (NKJ) On a personal level in this apocalyptic time of change this will mean thoughtfully assessing our way of seeing things and doing things and inviting God into the reordering and redeeming of what we might think of as the lost or wasted times of our past. We can now become aware of his appointed times of new beginnings for us with a new understanding of his will for an ‘all things new' future for our lives. This becomes a new way of living in the grace of God amidst the outer turmoil and darkness and disorder of the world. Paul must have asked himself at times ‘Why am I in prison, why did I get shipwrecked, beaten up, ignored and insulted? The answer for Paul was - that is where Jesus was. And we can be where Jesus is at any time by his grace, with all things working together for his design and purpose to come to pass in our lives.  The world cannot take us to where only God destined us to be. God moves forward with his overall plan for the world, and he moves forward with his designated plan for our lives. There is an energy which directs us, moves us and carries us, even though we cannot see where it is taking us. That energy is the hidden power of the wind of the Spirit which blows where it wills, and God's apocalyptic changes happen gradually and then suddenly, perhaps after times of enduring patiently through times of difficulty.  We cannot see our final destination but with this kind of faith we see through the present disorder of this world system, and we can enter into the eternal order of God's Kingdom. God's grace lifts us across the bridge from the world of fear and stress into his world of stillness and rest where we can learn to trust that we are being carried by the power of his grace to becoming who we should be and doing what we should be doing.  The true Church is out there somewhere – Now and not yet. The Bride of Christ is in there somewhere – Now and not yet. The true self God designed for you to be is within you somewhere – Now and not yet.

Daily Dose of Hope January 16, 2025 Day 5 of Week 42   Scripture: Jeremiah 50-51; 2 Peter 3 Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope.  This is the devotional and podcast that complements the Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  It's Thursday so that means you will have two days, Friday and Saturday, for catch up, rest, or getting ahead.  Our Old Testament reading today is Jeremiah 50-51.  These two chapters prophecy the fall of Babylon.  God used Babylon for his purposes but they were a sinful, violent society.  We get the impression that God had always planned to punish Babylon for their sins, which included conquering Israel and many other nations.  So what happened?  Cyrus the Great (of the Persians) marched into Babylon and took the city in 539BC.  Cyrus was proclaimed king and he freed the Jewish people.  What we know from later books, such as Nehemiah, is that not everyone came back to Israel.  They had now been in exile for seventy years.  People had put down roots.  But others did venture back to Jerusalem...more on that soon. Our New Testament reading is 2 Peter 3.  This is a urgent plea to be ready.  Jesus is returning and we don't know the day or the hour.  Peter was dealing with scoffers/false teachers who didn't believe in the second coming.  Peter wanted the Christians to stay strong in their faith.  He noted that God is not bound by time in the same way as humans.  To God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day.  One commentary I read about this chapter said that the last days basically started when Jesus ascended into heaven.  Peter was living in the last days when he wrote this letter and we are living in the last days right now.  If that is the case, then how should we live our lives?  Peter stresses that we should seek to live holy and Godly lives, as people waiting for a new heaven and a new earth. What does this mean to you?  Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

In this episode we take a deep dive into one of the oldest, most famous, and most stable forms of government: monarchy. Looking at examples from the past, we see what makes a monarchy successful. And we extract lessons for our own governments today. We will study with particular interest Ancient Egypt, Babylon, as well as 17 century France, Belgium, Britain, and modern Japan and Saudi Arabia.

In tonight's bible study we cover the end of Jeremiah's ministry as he becomes the pawn of the resistance to Babylon.

Bear Witness of The Halluci Nation joins guest host Talia Schlanger to set up the group's first new single of 2025, “Babylon.” The track pays tribute to Ottawa's Babylon night club, which hosted the groundbreaking electric powwow parties that kickstarted their career.

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we start with the prophet Hosea, and work our way down the line, in order, to read the writings of a fascinating group of men known as ‘The Twelve'. One main thing they all have in common is that they all prophesy concerning the end times of Jacob's trouble, with a focus on the events of the great Tribulation. Jesus says in Hebrews “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”, and this is the sum and substance that make up the writings of these amazing Minor Prophets.ON THIS EPISODE: We take a look at the Prophet Nahum, and in his 3 little chapters he talks almost exclusively about the Battle of Armageddon, with some wonderful nuggets about the Whore of Babylon known as the Roman Catholic system.

Daily Dose of Hope January 15, 2025 Day 4 of Week 42   Scripture:  Jeremiah 47, 48, 49; Psalm 80; 2 Peter 2   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Bible reading plan.  It's Wednesday and that mean Recharge day!  Yeah!!!  I hope to see you tonight in the Garage for a time of fellowship, worship, prayer, and small community.   We head back to Jeremiah for our Old Testament Scripture for today.  God's judgment is coming to the pagan nations – to the Philistines, to Moab, and to the Ammonites.  Just as God used Babylon to punish Judah, he would do the same for these nations.  They are being punished for their idolatry, for their sinfulness, for their support to other sinful cities, for arrogance, and for stealing land from Israel.    Our New Testament Scripture for today is 2 Peter 2.  In this chapter, we see Peter elaborating on the concept of false prophets and false teachers. In verse one, Peter is referring to the false prophets found in the Old Testament. These would have been individuals who claimed to speak for Yahweh but really were not sent by Yahweh at all. Think of the four hundred prophets (I Kings 22) who were summoned by King Ahab to speak on behalf of the Lord. But they were on the king's payroll and clearly didn't speak on behalf of the one true God.   Peter is saying that just as there were false prophets, there will also be false teachers among you. These are people who are already part of the Christian community but have left the true faith. Peter warns that these false teachers will bring in teachings from the outside world, teachings that will create conflict and division among the body of believers. These are teachings that lead people astray and away from the true faith founded in Jesus Christ. By moving away from the faith, these people are actually bringing destruction and grief on themselves, as well as the church. The thing about false teachings is that they are fairly similar to the true faith. The false teacher uses elements of Christian faith to make their doctrine seem solid and sound.   Think of the Mormon faith. They believe in Jesus. They read the Bible. Thus, someone unsuspecting or not firm in their Christian walk might be easily swayed. But they also believe things that are clearly opposed to orthodox Christian teachings. How have false teachings infiltrated the church in our day? Be on guard, my friends, and well-rooted in God's Word so that you will be grounded in Jesus and not be swayed.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daniel had the most incredible career imaginable; he was transported as a teenage captive to a pagan empire and became the primary confidante to the ruler of Babylon. When Babylonia was taken over by its enemies, he rose to the second or third position in the Persian Empire. There are only two people in the Bible other than Jesus Christ of which no evil is spoken, Joseph and Daniel. The book of Daniel is in two halves: the first six chapters are historical, which deal with the adventures and career of this remarkable man. The second six chapters are some of the most pivotal and important prophecies of the entire Bible. Without a clear understanding of the book of Daniel you will not understand the times in which we live. This study contains 16 hours of verse by verse teachings.

Throughout the years, there were many attempts of tapping into Bitcoin's liquidity and security, but almost all of them came with different caveats. Most notably, wrapped BTC (wBTC) depended on the wrapper contract security. However, the recent surge in research and development for native solutions has led to breakthroughs previously thought impossible. Babylon launched native BTC staking and plans to further expand this to secure other blockchains, in a model similar to that of mesh security. This would not only help secure other networks, but it would also unlock liquidity from the mother chain through liquid staking derivatives.Topics covered in this episode:David's backgroundThe evolution of BabylonThe Bitcoin RenaissanceTechnical challenges of implementing Bitcoin stakingThe OP_CAT upgradeBabylon's Bitcoin staking & Bitcoin-secured networksBridging liquidity & LSTsSecuring multiple chains and slashingBabylon chain - aggregating Bitcoin-secured networksCould Bitcoin become a POS chain?Babylon upgradeabilityEpisode links:David Tse on XBabylon on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

The Word of the LORD comes to Babylon again. The city is addressed as "the wilderness of the sea," a reference to the Euphrates River that was so key to Babylonian success and a reminder that Babylon in Holy Scripture also often refers to all the enemies of God and His people. The LORD sets His watchman to look for the deliverance of His people over His enemies and to cry out the news that Babylon has fallen. St. John records this same language in Revelation to describe God's final defeat of all His enemies, encouraging us to receive that victory through faith in Jesus right now.  Rev. James Uglum, pastor at Chapel of the Cross Lutheran Church in St. Peters, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 21:1-17.  "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Building a financially free life is a journey that takes time, dedication, and, most importantly, financial education. Understanding your finances is a crucial step towards a secure future. It's not just about learning the lessons but also about putting them into practice. Taking a proactive approach to financial literacy is one of the most important decisions you can make for your life and future.   Links: Financial Books to explore: The Psychology of Money, The Millionaire Next Door, & The Richest Man in Babylon Explore the TCU University course catalog for educational webinar videos Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.    Education is a powerful tool that empowers us to make significant changes in our lives. As Benjamin Franklin wisely said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." When it comes to financial knowledge, the interest you gain is not just figurative; it's a real sense of control and confidence over your financial future. This empowerment is the key to unlocking your financial potential.    If you're ready to level up your financial game, there's a reliable way to get started. It's all about actively learning about money and finance; the good news is that anyone can do it.    Here are a few ways to get proactive about your financial education this year.   Read or listen to finance books. Various books have been published over the years that offer excellent financial advice and strategy. Plus, more are published every day. A simple Google search will bring up long lists of top financial books that could change your life. Start with one, but don't stop there. With finance books, the more you read, the better. Different authors provide all kinds of insights and experiences they weave into their financial philosophy, so the more exposure you get to various points of view and perspectives, the more you'll learn from a bigger pool of knowledge and will be more likely to strategize and build a customized plan for your specific financial situation. Some of my personal favorites are The Psychology of Money, The Millionaire Next Door and the Richest Man in Babylon. Take online courses or in-person workshops. Books are great for building knowledge, but online courses and live workshops provide carefully developed activities and worksheets to help you practice hands-on action plans. They also offer opportunities to engage with a teacher or professor who can answer questions and guide your situation. Explore Triangle's Financial Literacy course catalog for free webinars you can watch on your own time. We cover topics like getting out of debt, budgeting, preparing for an auto purchase, and buying your first home. We will continue to add new lessons, so check TCU University for regular updates.   Practice is key to financial learning. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. But if, at first, you don't succeed, try, try again. You can read all the books and take all the courses, but all that knowledge won't work if you don't implement it. This is where the rubber meets the road. If you've been holding back from getting active with your finances, now's the time to jump in. We learn some of our best lessons through experience. You won't know everything when you start, and that's okay. Taking action is part of the learning process. Try out the lessons you've learned and test the theories you've read about by applying them in your own life. Get that budget together and work it out. You've got this!   Here are a couple of extra tips for those interested in putting their financial education and knowledge into practice.  First, it means paying attention to your money. Check it often. Give it the attention it needs. Know how much money you have in your accounts, credit balances, debt balances, credit score, and net worth (the total value of your assets minus your liabilities). Know how much money you bring in monthly and how much you spend on groceries.  Second, do the math and do it often. Get really familiar with a calculator. Use your phone or computer to calculate important balances to stay on track. Calculate how much you'll have in your accounts once you pay a bill, and do the math on how much more you will save if you increase your retirement contributions by 1%. Get familiar with calculating interest rates and payment amounts so you know exactly how much you'll pay over a year. If there's a number you don't know pertaining to your finances, find it out. You'll always be better off knowing more about your money than not knowing enough.    Third, explore and use financial tools to your advantage. Financial institutions invest a lot of time and money into providing easy and available tools to help you organize, manage, and track your money. Your bank likely already offers tools like budgeting apps, automated bill payments, and credit score trackers to help you set and track goals, automate payments, and provide alerts that keep you in the know. All you have to do is use them. Explore the interfaces and features and get familiar with how they work. You may discover they'll save you time and empower you to advance farther than you initially thought possible.   If there are any other tips or topics, you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.  Like and follow our Making Money Personal FB and IG page and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union on social media to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and check out our other tips and episodes on the Making Money Personal podcast.   Have a great day!

Daily Dose of Hope January 14, 2025 Day 3 of Week 42   Scripture: Jeremiah 43, 44, 46; 2 Peter 1   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Bible reading plan.  Let's get right into our Scripture for today.   We are back in Jeremiah for our Old Testament reading, specifically chapters 43, 44, and 46.  As you read this, do you sometimes feel sorry for Jeremiah?  I mean, he shares God's message and the people get enraged at him.  Jeremiah must feel pretty exasperated as well.    In today's reading, Jeremiah delivers the message to the remaining people in Judah to NOT go to Egypt.  God instructs them to stay in Judah where he will care for them.  What do they do?  We read this yesterday as well.  They disobeyed and went to Egypt.  They call Jeremiah a liar and once again dismiss the prophecy.  The wives burn incense to other gods.  God is rightfully angry so he has more to say through Jeremiah.  God tells the people that Babylon will trample on them in Egypt too.  They can't run and hide from the consequences of their actions.  Our final chapter for today, 46, is actually poetic prose about how God will destroy Egypt.    Our New Testament reading is 2 Peter 1. Today, we start Peter's second letter to the churches to whom he ministered in Asia Minor (now modern-day Turkey). It appears that very soon after Peter wrote the first letter, he felt compelled to send another. Why? Because there are reports of false teachers in their community, as well as dissension among the believers themselves. This had the potential for unraveling the young church.   In order to combat both these destructive elements, Peter urges the believers to grow deeper in their faith, becoming more spiritually mature, by leaning on God's Word. Pay close attention to the letter's opening sermon. Normally, this part of the letter would include some kind of thanksgiving but Peter neglects it. He seems to want to grab the attention of the readers by getting right to the meat of the subject. Thus, we can see it isn't a typical letter.   This is a call to virtue. Because of what Jesus has done for us, we are called to live a certain way. Then ensures what's referred to as a virtue chain. Add to your faith goodness, add to goodness knowledge, add to knowledge self-control, add to self-control perseverance, add to perseverance godliness, add to godliness mutual affection, and add to mutual affection love. This is similar to virtue chains in Romans 5 and Galatians 5. The order of the virtues is not that important (and vary in each case) but developing these virtues is of utmost importance. It's in developing these virtues that we can be useful to the Kingdom. We aren't useful to the Kingdom if we are negative, conflictual, and critical. We DO NOT honor Jesus if we are negative. We DO NOT honor Jesus and provide a good witness to the faith if we foster conflict. We DO NOT honor Jesus and provide a good witness to the faith if we are critical. But if we live out goodness, knowledge (I'll add Godly knowledge), self-control, perseverance in the faith, Godliness, mutual affection and care for others, and love, THEN we demonstrate who and whose we are. We show the world Jesus through our actions and behavior.   Spiritual maturity is not demonstrated by judgmentalism, critical spirits, or seeing the world through a negative lens. That actually seems spiritually immature. Plus, the enemy rejoices when we become fixated on those things. But, wow, what could we do for Jesus if we very intentionally, very deliberately worked on living into these virtues? The outside world might stop and take notice and say “There is something different about her. I want to be like her. I want what she has.” And we have this beautiful opportunity to share the source of our hope.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope January 13, 2025 Day 2 of Week 42 Scripture:  Obadiah; Jeremiah 40-42; Psalm 147; 1 Peter 5 Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church Bible reading plan.  Happy Monday!  We have some really interesting Scripture to read today.  Let's start with the book of Obadiah.  How many of you have read this minor prophet before?  This is the shortest book in the Old Testament – it's just twenty-one verses.  It's a group of judgement poems against the people of Edom, which was a pagan nation that neighbored Israel.  So here's the question: Why would God single out the nation of Edom? Edom was unique.  It shared an ancestry with the people of Israel.  The people of Edom also descended from Abraham. Think back to Genesis.  You will recall that Isaac and Rebekah had two sons – Jacob and Esau.  These brothers had a difficult, contentious relationship and they went their separate ways.  Jacob's descendants became the people of Israel, but Esau's descendants became the people of Edom. There was always tension between Israel and Edom but they also, on some level, knew they were family.  But things changed after the Babylonian conquest of Judah.  After the Babylonians decimated the Jewish people, the Edomites came in and plundered the other cities in Israel.  They took advantage of the remaining people, killing many.  It was ugly.  The book of Obadiah is intended to hold the Edomites accountable for what they did.  They tend to be arrogant, thinking they are better than the Israelites.  They could have helped Judah when Babylon came knocking but they didn't.  They took advantage of the situation. The book of Obadiah makes it clear that Edom will face the same fate as the Israelites.  What they did to the Israelites will also be done to them. Eventually, Obadiah says that all nations that behave like Edom will experience the consequences of their actions.  God's justice will be distributed to all these nations who behave in this way. But there is actually more to this little work.  The word Edom in ancient Hebrew is incredibly similar to the word “humanity.”  You see, the people of Edom have behaved in such a way that they are acting out the depravity of all human beings.  We are all broken and depraved.  We are selfish and arrogant.  And yet, God loves us.  The book ends with hope.  God will eventually put in place a New Jerusalem that will include all the nations.  God will put an end to evil and bring his peace to the world.  Let's head over to Jeremiah.  We are looking at chapters 40-42.  We are reading about what is happening to the remnant left behind in Judah.  It's a hot mess.  There are assassinations and ploys for power.  The few people left are considering leaving the area and heading to Egypt.  They ask Jeremiah to speak to the Lord on their behalf.  The Lord is clear – he will care for them if they stay.  If they head to Egypt, he will be angry and they will have to face the consequences of that anger.  And yet, what happens?  They disobey, of course.  They bring all the people are left, including Jeremiah the prophet into Egypt, very specifically against God's instruction.  When they arrive, the people begin to burn incense to other gods.  They revert to their old ways.  Jeremiah gives them a word from the Lord – if they don't stop, they will all die in Egypt.  But they don't stop.  Man, they never learn, do they?  Wow, us humans are sure a big mess.  I wish I could say we were significantly different than these people from Judah who fled to Egypt, but are we? Let's head over to the New Testament.  In this last chapter of I Peter, we find Peter giving final thoughts to the churches. This is where he lands the plane, he emphasizes certain critical points for their Christian walk. While Peter discusses a number of things, these three stand out as most important: humility, alertness, and faithfulness. Let's start by talking a bit about humility. In this context, humility means putting aside our own agenda for God's. It means accepting the fact that we may not get recognition but we should serve God anyway. No task is too small or too menial for God's Kingdom. God's Kingdom is advanced so much more when people don't worry about who gets the credit. That's humility. Then, there's alertness. We need to be on guard. This means not allowing our minds to get sloppy. It means staying focused on God and not getting distracted by worldly influences. If we do, this provides an inroad for the enemy to sneak in and cause problems. Stay focused on the things of God. Finally, there is faithfulness. Regardless of our earthly circumstances, stay true to God and the beliefs of the faith. It might not always appear to be so, but God always walks with us directing our paths. We are never alone, even when we experience persecution. God is faithful to us and calls us to stay faithful to him. How are you doing in these areas? Where are you when it comes to being humble for the faith? How alert are you–do you struggle with distraction and sloppy thinking? Finally, where are you on the faithfulness scale? Have you stayed true to the faith? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
