Podcasts about covenant renewal

Pastor opens with Psalm 33:12  “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.”  Our class starts and ends with the story of the kings of Judah. But in between Asa's 40 year reign as a king of Judah and his son, Jehoshaphat's 22 year reign, we see the turmoil and chaos that is transpiring in Israel the northern kingdom. Major events of Asa's Reign:      ⁃    Zera the Cushite attacks (2 Chr. 14:8-15)     ⁃    Azariah and Covenant Renewal (2 Chr. 15:1-19)     ⁃    Treaty with Ben-Hadad of Aram (2 Chr. 16:1-6)     ⁃    Hanani the Seer rebukes Asa (2 Chr. 16:7-10) In 1 Kings 15:16-17 we read about the tension between Baasha, King of Israel and Asa, King of Judah, and how there was war between Asa and Baasha. Baasha fortifies Ramah on the main road to Jerusalem close to the border between to Israel and Judah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering Judah's territory. Asa retaliates but instead of calling on God as he has in the past, he calls on a foreign power and gives temple adornments, silver and gold to the King of Aram and asks him to attack Baasha. Ben-Hadad of Aram does attack Israel, the northern kingdom and wins.  Hanani, a prophet comes to Asa following his treaty with Aram and says, “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.” Asa was so angry at the prophet that he put him in prison. Asa was a good king and had sought to follow the Lord when he first ruled, but in the later years of his reign he did not call on the Lord, instead he relies on himself and others and not God. The scriptures say, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  Asa started out that way, but he did not finish that way. A lesson for us today. Meanwhile, up north… (in Israel) we read in 1 Kings 15-16.  910-870 BC during the 40 year reign of Asa in Judah, this is how it was going in Israel. Jeroboam's son Nadab is on the throne and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord following the ways of his father Jeroboam. Nadab rules for only 2 years. Baasha kills Nadab and rules Israel for 24 years. Baasha battles Israel because of King Asa of Judah's request. Baasha defeats Israel and kills off all of Jeroboam's family, ending the rule of Jeroboam's family and fulfilling the prophetic word given to Jeroboam.  Ahijah's prophetic word had said that Jeroboam was to follow God, and if he did his family would continue to reign but if he did not it would end.  We begin to see that when a nation abandons God it invites disaster. The kingdom  of Israel is in chaos. We can see it in the list of rulers of Israel over the next years: Nadab - 2 years (son of Jeroboam) Baasha - 24 years (kills Nadab and Jeroboam's family) Elah - 2 years (son of Baasha killed by Zimri) Zimri - 7 days (killed by Baasha's family) Omri - 12 years (build new capital: Samaria) Ahab - 22 years (Omri's son - he was the worst king of all. Marries Jezebel and establishes Baal worship) 1 Kings 16-22. God's anger is aroused with this succession of evil kings of Israel…. …But in the southern kingdom of Judah, Jehoshaphat is king. 1 chronicles 17 870-848 BC - he was a man who sought the Lord his God. Jehoshaphat was the son of Asa. The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of David instead of the practices that we see goin on in Israel. Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor. He removed asheriah poles, he sent teachers out to the people of Judah to teach them about the law in the Torah and revival breaks out.   Join us next week as we meet Elijah! Now What?

Summary of Sermon – Joshua Session 3 Text Focus: Joshua chapters 3–5 — Israel's crossing of the Jordan River, covenant renewal, and Joshua's encounter with the Lord. 1. Crossing the Jordan: Following God's Presence Joshua leads Israel to the Jordan River as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. The ark of the covenant symbolizes God's presence and direction. The people are instructed to keep a reverent distance and follow where they have not been before — a metaphor for trusting God's leadership into new seasons. Emphasis: Check with God before acting, as David did. Without divine guidance, human wisdom leads to destruction. 2. Sanctification and Preparation Joshua tells the people to sanctify themselves—prepare their hearts before encountering God. Spiritual application: many believers fail in preparation; we rush to worship or prayer without focus. Encourage deliberate quieting of the heart before God. 3. The Miracle and Memorial When the priests step into the Jordan, the waters stop—a new generation witnesses God's power, as their parents did at the Red Sea. Twelve stones are taken from the river to build a memorial at Gilgal, a lasting reminder of God's faithfulness. Application: Tell your children what God has done; leave spiritual testimonies, not just material inheritances. Forgetting the cost leads to complacency—just as people forget the price paid for freedom or salvation. 4. Covenant Renewal at Gilgal God commands the new generation to be circumcised, renewing the covenant their fathers neglected. Gilgal means “rolled away”—God rolls away the reproach of Egypt. Spiritual meaning: God circumcises our hearts, removing spiritual blindness. Revival is not for the lost (“unvived”) but for believers to be revived—to renew their first love. 5. Transition of Provision After the Passover, the manna ceases, and Israel eats the fruit of Canaan. Message: God changes seasons—He may not move in the same way He once did. Mature believers learn to hear the still small voice, not depend on grand emotional experiences. 6. The Divine Encounter Joshua meets the Commander of the Lord's army—a divine or pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. He is told to remove his sandals, as Moses did at the burning bush, for he stands on holy ground. Application: The deepest encounters with God often happen alone, not in crowds. God desires one-on-one time with His people—to reveal Himself personally and intimately. 7. Final Exhortation Make room for personal encounters with God, beyond church gatherings. Strength, joy, and peace flow from direct relationship with Christ. No one—not even loved ones—can take the place of Jesus in bringing joy or fulfillment. Closing Prayer A call for God's people to keep Him first, walk closely with His Spirit, and regularly make time for intimate communion with Him—away from distraction.

God is always faithful. If He said it, you can believe it and stand on it. God takes His covenants very seriously.

This year's Covenant Renewal Message reminds us who Jesus is, who we are, what our response is, and what His response is through John 12:20-33. When some Greeks come and ask to see Jesus shortly before His death and resurrection, His surprising response reveals His purpose and His heart for His church.He is our Lord, glorified by God through suffering for our sake. We are His church, called out by Him. Our response is continuing to lift Jesus up and make much of Him by following Him, serving Him, and establishing His Kingdom by sharing His Gospel, and His response is to draw all people to Himself to save them. These reminders serve to remind, reset, and renew our commitment as His church to intentional growth, humble unity, bold mission, grateful service, and joyful sharing.

Providential People | Intro to Covenant Renewal | Ephesians 4:11-16 | Kort Marley by Providence Community Church

Pastor Jim shares the story of King Josiah from 2 Kings 22 and 23, drawing out how a true encounter with the Word of God leads to repentance and reform, even when the outcome doesn't change. Jim shows how Josiah responds to God's Word not with despair over Judah's coming exile, but with deep humility and conviction, modeling what it looks like to follow God because He is worthy. The Word becomes the center of the story, not the king, and Jim challenges listeners to consider whether their lives reflect a daily posture of repentance shaped by God's truth. Pointing to Jesus as the better Josiah who reveals the fullness of God in flesh, Jim reminds us that the reward of obedience is not comfort or control, but communion with God Himself.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where every day is a fresh journey through the pages of Scripture. It's August 5th and we're on Day 218 of our adventure together. I'm your host, Hunter—your brother, Bible reading coach, and fellow traveler as we gather from places near and far to warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. In today's episode, we dive into 2 Kings 23, 2 Chronicles 35, and John 7. We'll witness King Josiah's groundbreaking reforms to restore true worship in Israel, the powerful celebration of Passover that hadn't been seen since the time of the judges, and the challenges Josiah faced against powerful nations. Then, we'll turn to the gospel of John and find Jesus at the Festival of Shelters, teaching boldly about living water—the Spirit that he promises to pour out on all who believe. Along the way, Hunter draws out the deeper meaning behind the festival's water-pouring ceremony, connecting it to Jesus' declaration that he is the true source of life and hope. We'll wrap up with heartfelt prayers for God's guidance, mercy, and joy as we step into a new day. So grab your Bible, settle in, and join us as we encounter God's living Word together—and remember, you are loved. No doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the Source of Living Water. Picture the scene at the festival of shelters—each day, the priest carries water from the pool of Siloam, pours it out upon the altar, and it runs down the temple steps. For seven days, this ritual is repeated, and on the final day, the expectation and hope of the people reach their pinnacle. This act was more than tradition; it was a symbol, a living picture of the Messiah pouring out the Spirit upon God's people, a promise rooted in the Scriptures—“I will pour out water to quench your thirst and irrigate your parched fields… I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants and my blessing on your children” (Isaiah 44:3). And in this very moment, Jesus stands and shouts to the crowds: “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me. Anyone who believes in me may come and drink.” It's as if Jesus steps into the very heart of the ceremony and says, All of this points to me. I am the One you've been waiting for. I am the Source of the Living Water the world so desperately needs. The promise, the hope, and the life the ritual anticipated is found in Him—and received by coming to Him, trusting Him, believing. That's the invitation Christ makes to you and to me: to come to the Source, to drink freely, to allow His Spirit—like streams of living water—to flow within us and out of us into a thirsty, longing world. No longer do we look for life in ceremonies or traditions—good as they may be—because the true fulfillment is Christ Himself, the One in whom all God's promises find their “yes.” We don't come to Jesus for fame, for recognition, or for any fleeting thing. His brothers sought notoriety, but Jesus came, not to be applauded, but to do what the Father asked—to seek, to save, and to invite us into the overflowing life He shares with the Father and the Spirit. His heart is to give, to pour out, so that we too would be channels of living water, blessing, hope, and renewal to the world. So, today, let's come to Him who is the Source. Let's drink deeply of the life He freely gives. Let's allow the living water to flow through us—transforming us, refreshing us, and reaching out to others. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us. We are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever.

After wandering in the wilderness, Israel is on the cusp of a new beginning. Deuteronomy retells their story- not to rehash the past, but to remind a new generation of who they are. It's a call to choose life, to love God and neighbor, and to remember the long road that brought them here. Deuteronomy was likely compiled or finalized during or just before the Babylonian exile. It reflects a community in crisis trying to reimagine faithfulness without land, temple, or power, and inviting a return to covenant rooted in love and justice. What do we carry forward—and what do we leave behind? What kind of community are we becoming as we step into the future? ---------- Click here to access resources for supporting immigrants: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G9suVgJsS8X6TdH6ec2TBRKTz3dCqzQ2dPzUor4TKHc/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ejsud9n02yg8 Thank you for joining us today!
