Podcasts about Divided Kingdom

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. And a big shout-out today to Jon Carr from Richmond, VA. Jon, thank you for being a part of this movement through Project23. You are making a difference for the Gospel. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 3:20-26: Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. Then indeed he may plunder his house. — Mark 3:20-26 Jesus couldn't even sit down to eat. I bet he feels like a mother of three at home without a husband who wants to lock herself in the bathroom to get five minutes of peace. I bet he felt like a manager who skips lunch to survive back-to-back Zoom calls. I bet he felt like a dad in the carpool line, answering work emails while refereeing a sibling war in the backseat. The house was full. The crowds wouldn't stop pressing in. But as the ministry was growing, so was the resistance. Even his own family thought he'd lost his mind. And the religious elite? They were now making accusations that went far beyond criticism. They said he was "possessed." Let that settle in for a moment. Jesus wasn't just misunderstood—he was accused of being aligned with Satan himself. Then Jesus speaks. But instead of defending himself with anger or argument, he pronounces a simple truth—one that cuts through both confusion and conspiracy: “If a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand.” It's a familiar phrase. One we quote often in politics. An adage we reference frequently in leadership. But Jesus wasn't talking about politics or corporate leadership. It was a reference to spiritual authorities. The claim itself was a logical fallacy—suggesting that a fallen creature like Satan could empower the One who casts him out. That demonic spirits serve the One who casts them out. The point Jesus was making was: You can't belong to two kingdoms. You can't walk in two directions. You can't claim spiritual power and ignore spiritual alignment. Because division doesn't just weaken things. It destroys them. That's true for nations. That's true for families. That's true for churches. That's true for hearts. When we live with divided loyalties—when we try to follow Jesus while clinging to sin, pride, or worldly thinking—we slowly collapse from within. Divided hearts drift. Whole hearts stand. Jesus calls us to wholeness—unity of heart, mind, and life. He invites us to live fully surrendered. To live all in for him. He's not asking for perfection. But he doesn't want your half-hearted allegiance. He wants all of you. A heart divided won't stand. But a life fully surrendered? That's where the kingdom of God breaks in with power. #DividedHouseCannotStand, #BindTheStrongMan, #WholeHeart ASK THIS: Where in my life have I allowed divided loyalties to weaken my faith? What “strong man” am I letting control my actions and decisions? How can I take practical steps today to bind that stronghold? What would wholehearted surrender to Jesus look like in my daily life? DO THIS: Examine one area of your life where you're divided and take steps today to surrender it fully to Jesus. PRAY THIS: Lord, I confess the divisions in my heart and ask you to bind every stronghold that opposes you. Fill me with undivided devotion to follow you fully each day. Amen. PLAY THIS: Undivided.

God gives every person an opportunity to join Him in His work of advancing the Kingdom. How you respond is entirely up to you. Join us this week as we look at a couple of examples of individuals who decided to go their own direction.

1. Why did some people say that Jesus was casting out demons by Beelzebul?2. Why were the skeptics asking for more signs even though Jesus had performed many signs prior to this event?3. Who is the strong man Jesus is referring to in this text?4. What does it mean for God to cast out demons by His finger?

What happens when we shape our faith to fit what we want instead of what God wants? Join us for the story of Jeroboam from 1 Kings, who made golden calves for worship to keep control of his kingdom. Listen now and be inspired to build a real relationship with God based on trust—where true freedom comes not from controlling your faith, but from letting it change you.

This lesson traces the history of the Divided Kingdom with the initial break during Rehoboam's reign (Solomon to the rule of the worst king's son) of the Northern Kingdom, Ahab and his evil wife Jezebel.

Did you know a single prideful decision by Solomon's son permanently divided God's people into two kingdoms? When faced with his first leadership test, Rehoboam rejected the wisdom of experienced elders and embraced his friends' harsh counsel instead. His story stands as a powerful warning about the consequences of pride and reminds us that who we listen to shapes who we become. Listen now as we explore how Rehoboam's failure points us to our need for Jesus, the humble King who perfectly models the discernment and God-dependence we all require.

Solomon's tragic journey from wholehearted devotion to divided loyalty shows how subtly our hearts can turn from God. His story reveals that idolatry isn't just about physical statues, but about what truly captures our deepest affections and allegiance. Listen now as we explore the consequences of Solomon's choices and discover how confession and repentance can preserve our legacy and keep our hearts fully devoted to God.

In this new Thread series, we're looking at a topic that many of us are unfortunately all too familiar with: division. Division isn't just something we read about in the Bible. Fellowships, churches, small groups, and even families must often face the consequences of humanity's impulse to divide instead of unite. This impulse makes the lessons of the three centuries of history that we call the Divided Kingdom invaluable for us. The post God's People Divided appeared first on Ottawa Church of Christ.

Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 12:12-20 At the end of his life Solomon became idolatrous, having been influenced by his many foreign wives.  God was angry with him and the penalty was that Solomon's son, Rehoboam, would not be able to rule over all of Israel. The nation would, in fact, be divided into two kingdoms.  Rehoboam would be given only one tribe of the 12 Jewish tribes, namely the tribe of Judah.  The tribe of Benjamin would eventually join Judah in the formation of a southern Jewish kingdom.  The summary of Rehoboam's life is as follows:  "When the rule of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.  . . .  And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the LORD" (2 Chr 12:1,14).  Though Rehoboam's heart did not seek God, there were times when Rehoboam obeyed God (1 Kgs 12:21-24) and times when he humbled himself before God (2 Chr 12:6,12).  Rehoboam's life was characterized by a fundamental rejection of God, while appealing to God in times of need.  It is a common response of an unbelieving heart, but Christians still have the same tendency.  How easy it is to be passionate about God when we suffer, but careless and half-hearted when we feel strong.  May God help us to pursue Him bothin times of pleasure and pain.

Today, we hear the story of the prophet Jonah, who, unlike Amos, does not want the people to repent. The readings are 2 Kings 15, Jonah 1-4, and Psalm 138. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

As we conclude the book of Amos, we hear Amos rebuke the people for grudgingly giving their time to God, as in prayer or on the sabbath, and counting the minutes until they could do whatever they wanted. Fr. Mike points out that if we don't give our hearts and minds to God, we won't be able to stand heaven, where prayer and praise are everlasting. The readings are 2 Kings 13-14, Amos 7-9, and Psalm 124. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike points out how Amos' warning against being overly preoccupied with comfort and thus blinded to the needs of others can be especially relevant to us today. The readings are 2 Kings 11-12, Amos 4-6, and Psalm 122. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike points out how Jehu followed God half-way, but God wants us to follow Him with our whole hearts. He also explains the prophecy of Amos, who is trying to call people back to the Lord before it is too late. The readings for today are 2 Kings 10, Amos 1-3, and Psalm 110. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Today we read about Elijah's discouragement after fleeing from Jezebel, and how God tells him to "arise and eat" to strengthen him for the journey ahead. Fr. Mike points out how God calls us to draw strength for the journey as well, even at the end of our earthly lives. The readings are 1 Kings 19-20, 2 Chronicles 20, and Song of Solomon 6. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Today, we are introduced to the prophet Elijah, who again and again responds to God's invitations with faith. The readings are 1 Kings 17-18, 2 Chronicles 18-19, and Song of Solomon 5. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike connects today's reading from Songs to the teachings of St. John Paul's Theology of the Body. He also points out how helpful it is to track the timelines of the kings of Israel and Judah as we read from Kings and Chronicles simultaneously. The readings are 1 Kings 15-16, 2 Chronicles 16-17, and Song of Solomon 4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Fr. Mike points out the results of what happened to the kings who built idols, and what happened to the kings who tore them down. He encourages us to tear down the idols we've built up in our own lives by trusting God with our first fruits. Today's readings are 1 Kings 14, 2 Chronicles 14-15, and Song of Solomon 3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Welcome to the Divided Kingdom period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to explain the critical information needed to understand the rest of our biblical readings.
