Matthew 5:38-42 - In Jesus's 5th case study, He begins to broach one of the most revolutionary teachings in all of human intellectual history. He reveals that the true heart of God found in the laws about just recompense is oriented toward generosity, mutual dignity, and quiet boldness. And Jesus not only taught about this revolutionarily tender heart, He fully embodied it in all of his interactions--especially on the way to the cross. A sermon by Pip Craighead. [Part 9 of our series “Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace”] Questions for reflection: 1) How would you describe the purpose of the "eye for an eye" laws (such as in Ex. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21)? 2) Why are Jesus's words here so countercultural? How are they difficult? 3) Would you describe Jesus's prescription here as "passive"? Why or why not? 4) How would the world be different if everyone lived this way? 5) How did Jesus personally embody this principle in HIs own life and ministry? How does He personally embody it toward you?

Why? Grow G1 In Deuteronomy 2:1–3, God says, “You have made your way around this hill country long enough; now turn north.” Where in your life might God be saying, “You've circled this long enough — it's time to move forward”? G2 In Deuteronomy 2:10–12, 20–22, Moses explains that the Moabites, Ammonites, & Edomites (Israel's relatives) had already driven out formidable peoples like the Anakites, Rephaim, and Horites. Why do you think God intentionally led Israel past these examples of victory before they faced their own battles? What might that teach us about how God builds courage in us? G3 The first generation saw the giants and retreated (Numbers 13:27–33), but the second generation was surrounded by evidence that giants could fall. How does the story you rehearse — failure or victory — shape your faith and obedience? G4 The sermon suggested that Israel's battles were part of a deeper spiritual conflict (see Genesis 6:4; Numbers 13:33; Ephesians 6:10–13). How does understanding that our struggle is “not against flesh and blood” affect the way we approach temptation, fear, or long-standing patterns in our lives? G5 Some scholars (like Michael Heiser) argue that the references to the Nephilim and Rephaim point to corrupted bloodlines and a larger spiritual rebellion narrative (see Genesis 6:4). Whether or not we fully understand the details, what does this perspective suggest about the seriousness of spiritual compromise and God's commitment to preserving His redemptive plan through Israel — ultimately leading to Christ? Show S1 Who are the “giant killers” God has placed in your life — people whose testimony shows that freedom, healing, or breakthrough is possible? What practical step can you take this week to lean into those voices and step toward your own “turn north” moment?

February 4, 2026 - Wednesday PM Bible Class This episode is a recorded Deuteronomy class that walks listeners through some of the Old Testament laws that often seem strange or troubling to modern readers. Andy frames the laws in their ancient cultural and covenantal context, explaining the law's purposes: forming Israel's identity, convicting of sin, and pointing forward to Christ. The session includes audience Q&A and brief classroom interaction rather than external guests. Key laws discussed include levirate (kinsman-redeemer) marriage (Deut. 25) with references to Judah and Tamar and Ruth and Naomi, showing how the rule preserved family lines and protected vulnerable widows. The lecture then examines sexual laws in Deut. 22 (adultery, betrothal, and distinctions between city and countryside cases), clarifying differences between consensual acts and rape, and how the law protected victims. Other topics covered: the treatment of female captives in wartime (Deut. 21:10–14) contrasted with brutal ancient practices to show a more humane standard; the law on a stubborn and rebellious son (Deut. 21:18–21), explained as addressing violent, destructive behavior rather than ordinary teen disobedience; and practical-safety rules like building a parapet on roofs. The instructor also addresses the troubling command to destroy certain Canaanite cities, offering context about their persistent wickedness and the aim of removing corrupting influences. The class ties the Old Testament laws to New Testament teaching: the law as a tutor to Christ, examples pointing to God's character, and how Jesus' interactions (e.g., the woman caught in adultery) reveal the law's intent and mercy. The episode closes with pastoral application—God's laws often sought to protect the powerless, and followers are called to reflect that compassion today—along with encouragement to consider ancient context before judging Old Testament commandments.   Duration 43:57

February 15, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon In this episode we open to Deuteronomy chapter 4 and hear a sermon exploring Moses as the Bible-class teacher to Israel. The speaker grounds the message in Moses' final charge (Deut. 4:1–9) and connects it to the importance of Bible teaching today, illustrating how Scripture preserves, equips, and protects God's people. We also pause to share a prayer request for Georgia Hudson and celebrate a Teacher's Appreciation Banquet featuring guest speaker Bud Woodall, who directed listeners to Jesus' example in Mark 10:13–16. Key themes covered include: the eternal value of what teachers teach (preservation, possession, protection), the transferability of truth from one generation to the next (Moses' charge to teach children and grandchildren, Paul's instruction to Timothy), and the tangibility of sound teaching (do not add to or take away God's Word; be active, balanced, and watchful in applying Scripture). Practical measures for spiritual growth are discussed — time spent studying, applying the Word, and sharing it with others. The episode mixes theology with practical encouragement and vivid illustrations — from the Jericho lesson and a gingerbread wall anecdote to sobering research from George Barna on biblical literacy — to show why Bible classrooms matter. Listeners will hear a call to renewed enthusiasm for teaching and learning, guidance for making lessons come alive, and an appeal for legacy-minded discipleship: teach faithfully so others can teach as well. Finally, the speaker issues a clear invitation: anyone needing to respond to the gospel — to believe, repent, confess, and be baptized — or to return to fellowship and prayer is invited to respond now. Expect encouragement for teachers, challenges for students, practical application points, and heartfelt pastoral care in this episode.   Handout:   I.

A look at Deut. 14

Deut. 13:1–5 1 Kgs 12:25–33 Mark 13:9–13 2 Tim. 4:1–5  Are there such things as false and true churches, and is there a way to tell the difference? When we open Scripture, we see three things prioritized in Christ's assembly: the preaching of the gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and church discipline.

In this message from our series on the Ten Commandments, we examine the seventh commandment—”You shall not commit adultery” (Deut. 5:18)—and discover why sexual sin in all its forms (lust, fornication, adultery, and more) is especially heinous: it deserves death, desecrates covenants, destroys families and nations, debases individuals, damns souls, and disgraces God. Yet the gospel offers radical hope: through Christ’s forgiveness, we find power to flee temptation, guard our hearts, love our spouses, and glorify God in our bodies. […]

Daar mag niemand by jou gevind word wat sy seun of sy dogter deur die vuur laat deurgaan—wat met waarsêery, goëlery of met verklaring van voortekens of towery omgaan nie, of wat met besweringe omgaan, of wat ‘n gees van ‘n afgestorwene vra of ‘n gees wat waarsê, of wat die dooies raadpleeg nie. Want elkeen wat hierdie dinge doen, is vir die HERE ‘n gruwel;...(Deut. 18:10-12 Afrikaans OV)

Het onderscheid tussen lo tit'aveh en lo tachmod vormt een van de meest subtiele morele structuren in de Thora. De rabbijnse traditie leest deze twee termen niet als synoniemen, maar als twee stadia in een psychologische keten: het innerlijke verlangen en het daaropvolgende plan om het object van dat verlangen te verwerven. De Sefer HaChinuch maakt dit onderscheid scherp: lo tit'aveh (Deut. 5:18) verbiedt het koesteren van verlangen in het hart, terwijl lo tachmod (Ex. 20:14) het uitvoeren van een plan verbiedt om het begeerde object te verkrijgen, zelfs wanneer dat via ogenschijnlijk legitieme middelen gebeurt.Het laatste gebod van de Decaloog vormt een opmerkelijke verschuiving van het uiterlijke naar het innerlijke. Waar de voorafgaande geboden handelen over daden die zichtbaar zijn voor de wereld, richt het verbod op begeren zich op een beweging van het hart. De Sefer HaChinuch maakt van deze verschuiving een verfijnde juridische en morele architectuur door lo tachmod en lo tit'aveh niet als één, maar als twee afzonderlijke verboden te tellen. Daarmee wordt het innerlijke leven van de mens niet slechts moreel beoordeeld, maar halachisch gearticuleerd.Exodus spreekt over lo tachmod, het begeren van het huis, de vrouw, de dienaren en de dieren van de naaste. Deuteronomium herhaalt het gebod, maar met een andere term: lo tit'aveh, het verlangen. De rabbijnse traditie heeft deze dubbele formulering nooit als stilistische variatie gelezen, maar als een intentionele differentiatie. De Sefer HaChinuch volgt deze lijn en stelt dat lo tit'aveh het koesteren van verlangen in het hart verbiedt, terwijl lo tachmod het uitvoeren van een plan verbiedt om het object van dat verlangen te verwerven. Het innerlijke verlangen en de uiterlijke daad zijn dus niet twee graden van hetzelfde kwaad, maar twee afzonderlijke overtredingen die elk op zichzelf staan. Het verlangen leidt tot het begeren, maar de Thora verbiedt beide stadia onafhankelijk van elkaar.De klassieke commentaren ondersteunen deze tweedeling, maar elk vanuit een eigen hermeneutische gevoeligheid. Rashi leest lo tachmod als een verbod dat pas wordt overtreden wanneer men daadwerkelijk handelt om het begeerde object te verkrijgen. Voor hem is het niet de gedachte die verboden is, maar de poging om het object te verwerven, zelfs wanneer men daarvoor betaalt, zolang de eigenaar onder druk werd gezet. Rashi's lezing sluit nauw aan bij de halachische traditie die Deuteronomium 7:25 als bewijs gebruikt: begeren wordt pas overtreden wanneer men het object “neemt”, zelfs wanneer men het via een schijnbaar legitieme transactie verkrijgt.Sforno legt de nadruk op de innerlijke gerichtheid van het verlangen. Voor hem is lo tit'aveh geen verbod op spontane impulsen, maar op het cultiveren van een verlangen dat zich richt op wat niet toebehoort. Verlangen is voor Sforno geen reflex, maar een keuze: een mens kan zijn hart richten op wat hem toekomt, of op wat hem niet toebehoort. Lo tit'aveh is in zijn lezing een oproep tot innerlijke vrijheid, een discipline van het hart die voorkomt dat de mens zich laat meeslepen door de aantrekkingskracht van het bezit van de ander.Ramban biedt een synthese die zowel psychologisch als theologisch is. Hij stelt dat lo tachmod niet slechts een verbod is op het nemen van bezit, maar op het ontwikkelen van een verlangen dat zo sterk is dat het tot actie leidt. Voor Ramban is het verboden verlangen niet de vluchtige gedachte, maar het verlangen dat men vasthoudt, cultiveert en omzet in een plan. Zijn lezing maakt duidelijk waarom de Thora beide stadia afzonderlijk verbiedt: het verlangen is de wortel, de daad de vrucht. Door beide te verbieden, snijdt de Thora het kwaad af bij de bron én bij de uitwerking.Ibn Ezra gaat nog verder en stelt de vraag die elke moderne lezer stelt: hoe kan de Thora verlangen verbieden? Verlangen lijkt immers een spontane beweging van de menselijke psyche. Zijn antwoord is even eenvoudig als diepzinnig: een mens begeert slechts wat hij als bereikbaar beschouwt. Een boer kan de vrouw van zijn buurman begeren, maar nooit de prinses van het koninkrijk. De Thora gebiedt daarom niet het onmogelijk maken van verlangen, maar het herstructureren van de perceptie van wat “bereikbaar” is. Wanneer men werkelijk gelooft dat God de bezittingen van ieder mens heeft toegewezen, wordt het bezit van de ander even ver verwijderd als de prinses van de boer. Het verbod is dus niet een onderdrukking van verlangen, maar een heroriëntatie van het bewustzijn.Wanneer men deze rabbijnse inzichten toepast op Jezus' uitspraak in Mattheüs 5:28 — “Wie een vrouw aanziet om haar te begeren, heeft in zijn hart al overspel met haar gepleegd” — wordt duidelijk dat hij niet spreekt over een vluchtige gedachte, maar over een intentionele blik. De structuur van zijn uitspraak is identiek aan de structuur van lo tit'aveh: het gaat om het richten van het verlangen op een object dat jou niet toebehoort. Jezus radicaliseert de Thora niet; hij internaliseert haar op precies dezelfde manier als de rabbijnen, vooral Ramban, dat doen. Hij spreekt niet over de spontane impuls, maar over de intentionele blik die het verlangen activeert. De mens die een vrouw ziet en een gedachte voelt opkomen, overtreedt niets; de mens die haar “aanziet om haar te begeren” — die zijn blik richt, zijn verlangen vormt en zijn hart op een ander richt — overschrijdt de grens die de Thora stelt.De Sefer HaChinuch verbindt beide verboden aan het bredere verbod op diefstal in Leviticus 19:13. Niet omdat verlangen of begeren zelf diefstal zijn, maar omdat zij de psychologische wortel vormen van diefstal. De Thora kiest er daarom voor om niet het verbod op eigendomsdiefstal in de Tien Geboden op te nemen — dat gebod verwijst immers naar ontvoering — maar het verbod op begeren. Daarmee wordt de morele afstand die men moet bewaren tot het bezit van een ander radicaal vergroot: niet alleen de daad is verboden, maar zelfs de gedachte die tot de daad kan leiden.De discussie tussen Rambam en Ra'avad over de reikwijdte van lo tachmod illustreert deze spanning tussen innerlijk en uiterlijk. Rambam stelt dat zelfs wanneer de eigenaar uiteindelijk instemt met de verkoop, de koper het verbod overtreedt als hij hem onder druk heeft gezet. Ra'avad daarentegen beperkt het verbod tot gevallen waarin de eigenaar niet instemt en het object wordt genomen alsof het diefstal betreft. Rambam legt de nadruk op de intentie en de psychologische dynamiek van dwang; Ra'avad op de juridische status van de handeling. Beide posities tonen dat lo tachmod zich op het grensvlak bevindt van ethiek en recht, van innerlijk en uiterlijk, van verlangen en daad.Het verbod op verlangen en begeren is daarmee geen ascetische oproep tot emotionele onderdrukking, maar een verfijnde morele pedagogie. De Thora erkent dat verlangen de motor is van menselijke actie, maar zij eist dat deze motor niet gericht wordt op het bezit van de ander. De mens wordt opgeroepen om zijn verlangens te richten op wat hem toekomt, niet op wat hem niet toebehoort. In deze zin is lo tit'aveh de innerlijke discipline die lo tachmod mogelijk maakt, en lo tachmod de uiterlijke grens die lo tit'aveh beschermt.Het laatste gebod van de Decaloog is dus geen randverschijnsel, maar de voltooiing van de morele orde. Het verbiedt niet slechts de overtreding van de grens van de ander, maar zelfs de eerste beweging van het hart die die grens zou kunnen overschrijden. Het is een gebod dat de mens niet klein maakt, maar groot: het veronderstelt dat hij in staat is zijn verlangens te richten, zijn gedachten te ordenen en zijn hart te vormen naar een hogere maatstaf. In die zin is lo tachmod niet het einde van de Tien Geboden, maar hun kroon.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/koinonia-bijbelstudie-live--595091/support.

Epstein Files, Occult Darkness, Prophetic Counterfeits, and the Coming Isaac Movement | KIB 518 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description  In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 518, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake address why the growing exposure of evil—especially surrounding the Epstein scandal and systemic corruption—helps the Body of Messiah understand the seriousness of Mystery Babylon and the coming realities described in Revelation. They also warn believers to move slowly when engaging disturbing material, to stay anchored in Scripture, and to avoid becoming spiritually destabilized by darkness-focused "research." Dr. Lake emphasizes a necessary Word + Spirit balance—because when believers abandon Scripture in favor of experiences, visions, or "prophetic spectacle," they become vulnerable to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4). The episode tackles: why Revelation's judgments are righteous in light of hidden, institutional evil the danger of "Christianized" occult practices (e.g., astral projection rebranded as "getting in the spirit") how God tests His people through signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 13) why much of the modern prophetic movement shows Gnostic-like patterns R.T. Kendall's warning that the charismatic movement became an "Ishmael," and that an "Isaac" is coming—greater, purified, and grounded in truth encouragement for believers waiting on prophetic words: God gives the target, then transforms us to walk in it Prayer: for victims to receive justice and healing, for the Church to regain biblical discernment, and for God to release the coming "Isaac" move of God—marked by holiness, truth, and the presence of the Spirit. ➡️ Stay informed and empowered: www.KingdomIntelligenceBriefing.com

As we push deeper into the tabernacle, we find the table of showbread. This easily overlooked piece of furniture reveals a generous God who is constantly giving an invitation to His table.

Nota el sentido de la palabra “cabeza” en los siguientes textos: • Moisés escogió “varones de virtud de entre todo Israel, y los puso por jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) sobre el pueblo, sobre mil, sobre cien, sobre cincuenta y sobre diez” (Éxo. 18:25).• “Los jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) de la congregación” (Núm. 31:26).• Dios pondría a Israel “por cabeza y no por cola” si le obedecían (Deut. 28:13).• “Porque la cabeza de Siria es Damasco, y la cabeza de Damasco, Rezín” (Isa. 7:8)• “Y los hijos de Judá y de Israel […] levantarán para sí un jefe (literalmente “cabeza”)” (Ose. 1:11).• “Jefes (literalmente “cabezas”) de la casa de Jacob, y capitanes de la casa de Israel” (Miq. 3:9).• “Cristo es la cabeza de todo hombre” (1 Cor. 11:3). Por lo tanto, Cristo, como cabeza de la iglesia, provee el liderazgo, la orientación y el sustento necesarios para su unidad y crecimiento (ver Col. 2:19). Lee 1 Corintios 12:12-27. Pablo describe aquí a la iglesia como un “cuerpo”. ¿Qué otros aspectos de la iglesia son representados mediante esta metáfora? Así como el cuerpo no puede vivir sin la cabeza, la vida puede resultar mucho más difícil cuando se pierde o se lesiona una de sus partes. A menudo, no reconocemos cuán importante es algo hasta que lo perdemos. Si tuvieras que renunciar a una parte de tu cuerpo, ¿cuál elegirías? ¿Qué te dice esto acerca de cuán vital es cada persona como miembro de la iglesia? 

To the physical descendants of Jacob, Moses said, “Remember that you are a special people who belong to the Lord your God. He has chosen you for himself out of all the other people who live on the earth. He loves you as his special people” (Deut 7:6). But why did He choose them? Are they the only ones He has chosen? What would you do if you found out He is choosing others and adding them to those he has already chosen? Would you want to be chosen too? Join us in the exciting series as we unpack what Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, calls the Mystery of the Gospel.

December 30, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this episode of the Deuteronomy class, the instructor leads a topical study on idolatry as presented throughout Deuteronomy. Using key passages (including Deut. 4, 7, 9, 29, and the Song of Moses in 32), the class explores the Bible's repeated commands against idols and carved images, the story of the golden calf, and the specific injunctions to destroy pagan altars and statuary. The lecture includes close readings of Deut. 29:17 and 32:21 (God's jealousy over foolish idols), Deut. 4:15–16 (the prohibition on making any form to represent God), and Deut. 7:5, 25 and 9:12 (commands and historical reminders of Israel's failure). The session surveys why idolatry mattered historically and why God fiercely opposed it: pagan gods were false and devotion to them was wasted; pagan worship practices (documented by other ancient writers like Herodotus) could be destructive — including child sacrifice, ritual sex, and self-harm; and images diminish and misrepresent the incomparable Creator. The golden calf episode is used as a prime example of how quickly a people can turn to crafted representations and how images box God into a limited, misleading form. Class discussion connects these Old Testament teachings to the New Covenant: Jesus is presented as the true image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), and incidents like Jesus cleansing the temple are read as condemnations of anything that robs God of exclusive worship. Andy also draws practical, contemporary parallels — warning that modern “idols” can be careers, money, comfort, entertainment, or even devotion to a hobby or brand — and challenges listeners to examine what competes for God's place in their lives. Format and contributors: this is a recorded classroom lecture with interactive Q&A between the instructor and students. Key takeaways include God's demand for exclusive devotion, the theological reasons images are forbidden, historical evidence of pagan practices, and concrete prompts for personal reflection and repentance in light of both Old and New Testament teaching.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.'

Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use. Taming include; construction of holding pens, putting the soil to the plow, harvesting of crops, milk or meat. One eats once the harvest is complete. When the Hebrew word ‘eth' is included, this shows once again the Divine Presence in controlling these locusts. Other words this isn't from nature.

ICE vs Protestors has been all the news rage recently, and everyone out there has some (usually very strong) opinion on it. How should Christians think about ICE and the work they are doing? How should we respond to law enforcement in general? What about when we don't agree with everything they are doing?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question on who ICE is, what the Bible says about immigration in general, following the law of the land, and when/if to ever disobey that law. We understand how heated this topic is (especially because it's happening right where we live!) and our hope is that as you listen, you are able to take a step back from the emotion, think critically while seeking what is right and true while also approaching the topic from a standpoint of biblical love.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

A look at Deut. 12

In this message, we dive into the revelation of God's name—Elohim, the Creator and Covenant-Keeper. From the opening pages of Genesis to the declarations of the prophets, Elohim reveals Himself as the One who formed us in His image, who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations (Deut. 7:9), and who calls us to walk in unity and holiness before Him. When Moses asked, “What is His name?” (Ex. 3:13), God began to unfold a mystery that would echo through time: the same Elohim who said, “Let Us make man in Our image” (Gen. 1:26) is revealed in Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15).Through the Word, the Spirit, and the Son, we discover that Elohim is One—yet moves in perfect harmony as Father, Son, and Spirit. He is the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6), who calls His people to live as one, walk in His covenant, and reflect His image in the world. As we come to know His name, we also come to know who we are—His witnesses, His creation, and His covenant family, empowered by His Spirit to carry His glory from generation to generation.

02/01/2025 Generous: Generosity Shaped by Grace, not Law2 Corinthians 9:6-7Big Idea: All that I have and all that I am belongs to God.Things to remember when it comes to giving: Generosity flows from grace, not guilt. We are stewards, not owners. All that I have and all that I am belongs to God. TITHE = Tenth; are we required to tithe? How much should we really give? Should I give off the gross, or the net? What if I don't give?Giving BEFORE the Law: Genesis 4-Cain & Abel; Genesis 8-Noah; Genesis 12-Abram; Genesis 14-Abram & Melchizedek; Genesis 28-Jacob's vow; Genesis 41 & 47- Joseph's tax.Giving UNDER the Law: Tithe tax (Gov't tax) Numbers 18; Celebration tithe Deut 12; Welfare tithe Deut 14; Harvester's tax (Ruth) Lev 19; Land Sabbath Web 7: 4-9Giving IN the New Testament: Required tithe & voluntary theocratic tithe, Roman tax; Tithe in the Gospels Matthew 22:23; Luke 12; Tithe in Hebrews Hebrew 7:4-9.Giving is not about 10%, it's about 100% & it's really about your heart.We are under grace, not the Law.When I give…1. It recognizes God's goodness & faithfulness to supply for my needs.2. It demonstrates that God doesn't own just 10%, He owns it all.3. It communicates my heart to love God and love people.4. It supports the work (mission) of the local church here and around the world.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about living in the fullness of Christ. In the Old Testament, the presence of God was confined to the tabernacle. It had walls and boundaries and only a select people could even handle being in the full presence. The Holy Spirit hadn't been poured out for everyone to receive. But now, in this new covenant, we have been given the Holy Spirit. He now dwells in us. We are the walking tabernacles that host the presence of God. It's important for us to understand the power and authority we carry.  Scripture reference: Ephesians 4:11-13,  Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, John 10:27-28, Colossians 1:27, Deut 29:29, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, Romans 12, Galatians 4, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Ephesians 3:14, Ephesians 1:23, Ephesians 3:19, Ephesians 4:13, Colossians 1:19, Colossians 2:9, John 1:16, 1 John 4:16, 2 Corinthians 5:14, John 15:9-10, Romans 5:5, 1 John 3:1-3.   Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

El que me sigue no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida” (Juan 8:12). También dijo: “Ustedes son la luz del mundo. Una ciudad situada sobre un monte no puede esconderse” (Mat. 5:14). ¿Cómo podemos ser esa luz? Solo mediante una estrecha relación con Jesús, “la luz verdadera, que alumbra a todo hombre que viene a este mundo” (Juan 1:9). Como dice Filipenses 2:9 al 11: “Por eso Dios también lo exaltó hasta lo sumo y le dio un nombre que es sobre todo nombre; para que en el nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla [...] y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es el Señor”. La luz y el poder del Cielo están disponibles para quienes hemos entregado nuestra vida a Jesús, pero con demasiada frecuencia esperamos que Dios haga también nuestra parte o permitimos que nuestras propias ideas y planes se interpongan en el camino; de allí que las palabras de Pablo a los filipenses sean tan pertinentes hoy. 

The 2026 prophecies are out! We're putting those 'words for the year' under the biblical microscope, examining whether the predictions hold water or if they're just repackaged headlines with spiritual wrapping paper.Cindy Jacobs, James Goll, Bishop Joseph Garlington, Samuel Robinson, Kevin Zadai, and Rick Renner have released prophecies shaping how millions of Christians view 2026. But are these genuine revelations from God, or carefully crafted statements vague enough to always land somewhere close to "right"? The Remnant Radio hosts are digging into Scripture to test these prophecies with discernment, wisdom, and solid biblical theology.​​The Bible gives clear instructions to test prophetic words (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21, 1 John 4:1). True biblical prophecy isn't about vague predictions that sound spiritual. The team will examine whether these prophecies contain revelation from God or enough wiggle room to never technically be wrong. True biblical prophecy isn't about farming the news cycle and repeating what is already known. The hosts will examine whether the claims are already being discussed in public forums. And true biblical prophecy doesn't come from a false prophet - someone who leads people away from Christ through their words or actions (Deut 13:1-5). This is where proper theology and discernment separates genuine revelation from religious performance.Whether you follow these prophetic voices or you're skeptical of the modern prophetic movement, this episode will challenge your thinking about biblical prophecy and evaluating spiritual claims. The guys aren't here to mock—they're here to do what Scripture calls every believer to do: test everything, hold fast to what is good, and protect the flock from deception.0:00 – Introduction2:16 – Purpose for reviewing prophecies4:39 – Rick Renner's 2026 prophecy review18:29 – Kevin Zadai's 2026 prophecy review30:34 – Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders review38:44 – Critique of Hebrew calendar usage39:06 – Discussion of political elements in prophetic words46:03 – Closing remarks EXTRA LINKS:Joshua Harris Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBUwSNh-r0wRR Passion Translation Episode with Mike Winger: https://youtube.com/live/sDN_50tW1lc Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

What does Bildad say that is right?1.He says God does not pervert justice.If this were not true, there would be no moral order to the universe. There would be no hope that righteousness would ultimately prevail. Thankfully, God's throne is built on righteousness and justice (Ps. 33:5; 89:14; 97:2; 99:4). These qualities are what God expects of His rulers (II Sam. 8:18; I Kings 10:9; Jer. 22:15-16) and His people generally (Isa. 5:7; Amos 5:24).Sin and suffering are connected Biblically. The blessings of the covenant in Lev. 26:6-13; Deut.28:1-14 and the curses of the covenant in Lev. 26:14-39; Deut. 28:15-68 illustrate the link between blessing and righteousness and sin and suffering. Much of the story of Israel's history recorded from Joshua- II Kings demonstrates the working out of those principles. But what does this mean to Bildad? Does he mean that a righteous person will not suffer? Ecclesiastes 3:16-17; 7:15; 8:14 show that this is no true. It is the very fact that things do not always work out in this life that drives us to a life beyond this one where wrongs are righted and the wicked and righteous are given the results of the different paths they have pursued.  2. He says that the godless will perish. He says that the confidence of the wicked is placed in things as fragile as spider's webThe fundamental question of life is Where is our confidence? On whom do we rely? On whom do we depend?Isaiah 36-37 deals with the days Assyria was attacking Jerusalem in the days of Hezekiah. Sennacherib asks Hezekiah why he is rebelling against him. Where is your confidence? Word “confidence” (36:4), “rely” (36:5, 6, 6, 9), “trust” (36:7, 15) are all from the same Hebrew root word. The word is used 8 times in Isaiah 36. It is used as a verb except in 36:4 where it is translated with the noun confidence. The question that the king of Assyria asks is a fundamental question in the book of Isaiah and to the Bible as a whole and it is the foundational question of our lives. To put our place in the wrong place means that we will inevitably be clothed with shame.  3. There will an ultimate separation of the righteous and the wicked in eternity8:18 Ultimately that the statement that it place does not know it anymore will be God's pronouncement on the wicked (Matt. 7:13-14, 23; 25:12).8:21 In God's presence our mouths will be filled with laughter.  Job 8 and JesusBildad says that God does not reject the blameless in 8:20. He anticipates those who will cry to Jesus, “He trusts in God. Let God deliver him” in Matt. 27:43. “Job has a lesser Calvary, and each person has his own. But when we know of God's rejection of Jesus, our dereliction can never be as dark as Job's again”[1]It is through the suffering of God's perfect servant, Jesus, that God ultimately showed His justice and righteousness (Rom. 3:21-26). Job's battle foreshadows the even greater battle and the more intense suffering that God's servant, Jesus, would endure.  [1] Anderson, 142-143.

Feeling overwhelmed when you don’t know what to do? This devotional reflection centers on 2 Chronicles 20:12, where King Jehoshaphat faces an impossible battle and responds with humility, prayer, and complete dependence on God. When fear rises and answers feel out of reach, Scripture reminds us that fixing our eyes on God invites His power, peace, and deliverance into our circumstances. Through Judah’s story, we see how seeking the Lord first, admitting weakness, and trusting God’s sovereignty transforms fear into faith—and reminds us that the battle ultimately belongs to Him. Highlights Fear is often the moment God invites us to deeper dependence Jehoshaphat chose prayer and fasting instead of panic Admitting “we don’t know what to do” is an act of faith, not failure God responds when His people seek Him with honesty and humility Worship came before victory, not after Faith fixes our eyes on God, even when fear is present The battle is God’s, but obedience is ours Do you want to listen ad-free?

For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:12 ESV One afternoon, as I flipped open my Bible, my eyes landed on 2 Chronicles 20:12. As I reread the entire chapter, I was struck by what I uncovered in that passage. Picture this. The tribe of Judah receives word that three different armies, the Ammonites, Moabites, and those from Mount Seir, are plotting to attack them. When God’s people first entered the land, He had not allowed them to conquer Ammon, Moab, or Mount Seir (see Deut. 2). And now? The enemy was coming for God’s people. Not one. Or two. But three powerful armies. King Jehoshaphat, the king reigning over Judah at the time, was afraid. He was the leader. Perhaps he was even expected to have all the answers to protect Judah from this threat. But you know what struck me the most? As we read the passage, we notice the Scripture says, “Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the Lord” (v. 3). In addition, he proclaimed a fast throughout all of Judah. In the midst of fear, he turned to God and encouraged others to do the same. As I read that, I was instantly convicted. If a nation’s king could lead with such humility and grace, should not each of us respond the same? Yes, when Jehoshaphat saw that these armies were coming, he was afraid. How many of us can say the same? How many of us see something, are afraid, but then set our face to seek the Lord? How many times have I done that? Not as much as I wish. Think about it. Usually, so many of us are afraid and run to numb that fear. We often numb fear - whether through distractions or endless scrolling - instead of seeking God. It doesn’t really matter how we numb our fear. The fact is, we all have all been tempted to turn to something other than God when we are afraid. If we try to numb our fear with anything other than God, we will come away dissatisfied. Only God can truly satisfy us and give us peace. Turn to God. Not only did Jehoshaphat set his face to seek the Lord in his fear, but he chose honesty instead of what made him look good. He was upfront and honest with all of Judah, sharing in his prayer to God, “For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (v. 12). He could’ve tried to appear strong, like he had all the answers. But he openly and freely admitted he didn’t. This was a fix only God could get them out of. In essence, he was saying, “God needs to do this. God needs to work because I can’t.” And then, he sought the Lord in prayer and encouraged all of Judah to seek the Lord with him. His dependence on God is what defined his leadership and set an example for the people. In addition, I noticed that Jehoshaphat recognized God’s sovereignty. In the beginning of his prayer in verse 6, he says, "O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you." He recognized that God was sovereign and the only one who could save them. Second, he clung to God’s promises, recalling how the Lord had given them the land (v. 7-9) and trusting He could deliver them again. But even though God already knows everything, the Lord loves it when we share our hearts with Him. Finally, Jehoshaphat begged God to execute judgment on their enemies. “For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (v. 12). Guess what happened next? The Spirit of the Lord came upon a man named Jehaziel, and he said (v. 15). “Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s'”. He goes on to give 3 specific instructions. Stand firm. Hold your position. See the salvation of the Lord on your behalf. Sometimes, the Lord allows us to go through difficult trials and drives us to our knees so that we can recognize and realize that we are powerless against whatever we are facing. Immediately after the Lord spoke to Jehaziel, Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground and worshipped the Lord. It is so inspiring to me that this is the first thing he did. His act of surrender and glory to God led Judah and Jerusalem to fall down on their faces, worshipping the Lord. But they didn’t stop there. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Scriptures tell us that they rose early in the morning and went out. Not only that, but they sang to the Lord and praised Him as they went out to battle. "And when they had begun to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed" (v. 22). I’m sure they still struggled with fear. But imagine if the men of Judah had allowed their fear to stop them from following God. Thank God they didn’t. This passage reminds me that fear may come, but faith fixes our eyes on God — and He fights for us. Pray with me: Dear Father God, please help me to walk in faith even when I’m afraid. To always seek Your face first instead of caving into my fears. I trust You to work everything out for my good and your glory and to make me even more like Jesus (Romans 8:28-31). In Jesus’s Name, Amen. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
