During this final week in the life of Moses, we will examine several portions of Scripture that he wrote as he prepared to hand over the leadership of the nation to Joshua. Throughout this study of Moses' life, we have explored his “mountain moments” and his “valley moments”—that is, we have studied both his obedience and his disobedience. This week, however, we will focus on the legacy Moses leaves behind and his challenge to the nation of Israel to continue following God and trusting Him to provide. We have thoroughly enjoyed this study, and it is our prayer that you have grown in your dependence on God and have learned from the mistakes of the Israelites.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Father and Joe! I'm Joe Rockey, joined by Father Boniface Hicks. In this episode, we delve into the complex topic of judgment—how it permeates our lives, both in social media and in personal interactions, and its role in our spiritual journey."To me, that's a big part of why I believe social media is negative. You're constantly judging each other, good, bad, or ugly," I express as we kick off the conversation. Social media amplifies our natural tendency to judge, often harshly, and this has deep implications on how we interact and perceive one another.Father Boniface offers profound insights, suggesting a distinction between judgment and condemnation. "Is the issue that I'm being judged, or is the issue that I'm being condemned? Those are two different things." This differentiation is crucial, as condemnation often carries a heavier, more negative connotation.We explore biblical references, with Jesus teaching, "Why are you judging people when you have a log inside your eye about their splinter?" This highlights the hypocrisy often involved in judgment and calls for self-reflection before criticizing others.Judgment, as Father Boniface points out, involves a measurement metric. "If the question is, you know, to say, you are a successful businessman, and my metric is annual net profit, then I look at a balance sheet, and that judgment is a matter of fact." Here, the metric used for judgment is essential and should be mutually agreed upon to ensure fairness and understanding.However, judgment becomes problematic when we judge based on incomplete information or when we presume to know someone's motives. "Judging based on facts that we don't have...is a place that we have to be careful," Father Boniface warns. We must acknowledge our limitations in understanding others' intentions fully.I raise the practical aspect of judgment in everyday life, especially in roles such as parenting or management. "How do we balance the...need to evaluate, judge, and all that stuff?" It's crucial to have clear, agreed-upon standards and fair methods of evaluation to maintain just and constructive judgment.This episode serves as a reminder of the delicate balance we must strike between necessary evaluations and unfair condemnation. By understanding the difference and applying judgment justly, we can foster better relationships and a more compassionate community.Thank you for joining us in this insightful discussion.

The Story of Abraham: Part 1, A Faithful Life Teaching Text: Hebrews 11:8-19. Preached by Russell Korets

Week 8 in a series: Fresh Life Speaker: Katie Ding  

Today Dot and Cara unpack a seeming contradiction: why are we told not to fear over and over in Scripture, but then commanded to “Fear the Lord”? By looking at the heart of what Jesus meant in Matthew 10:28, Dot explains the difference between these instructions and offers the beautiful encouragement that increasing our fear of the Lord will actually decrease our fear of man and of our circumstances. Settle in with a cup of coffee and join us for this quick conversation! Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! Episode recap:Start by writing down Matthew 10:28  (0:14)Throughout Scripture, we are told not to fear over and over, but we are told to fear the Lord - how is that different? (2:01)“Fear of the Lord” means to reverence God (3:04)Fear is the opposite of peace - at its root is worry in our lives (4:10)Jesus instructs us not to be afraid of man (5:05)“Fear of the Lord” means an awareness of the holiness and the power of God (7:00)As we become more aware (in awe) of our Father in heaven, we will lose our fear of anything else (11:00)Are you interested in having Dot come and speak to your community?

We often learn how to navigate this journey by hearing from those who are a few steps further on the journey than we are. In this week's conversation episode, I interview my grandpa to discuss how he has learned the faithfulness of God through his life. We take a journey through his life. From salvation and rededication to church to work and family to finishing well. I also ask him about what he would like for those earlier in our race to know. I hope that you will listen to this episode to learn from a faithful man about how to live for a faithful God.

God's word is clear that He alone is worthy of our worship, and it calls us to love him with all we have. But what does this look like in our lives? In Hebrews 13:5-8, we see that a life of worship includes being a faithful steward of what the Lord has given us, as well as a faithful leader who not only models what a true believer looks like, but who is willing to invest time in the growth and maturity of others.
