Podcasts about gibeonites

In today's readings, Fr. Mike highlights David's humility in two instances: when David asked the Gibeonites how he could repair their relationship after they had been mistreated by Saul, and when David takes a step back from battle. He also explains the role of the gatekeepers as people who would be responsible for guarding the doors to the Temple. The readings are 2 Samuel 21, 1 Chronicles 26, and Psalm 40.

As 2 Samuel draws toward its conclusion, several events shed light on the entirety of David's reign. After a lengthy famine, David learns from the LORD that bloodguilt remains on Israel due to a crime Saul committed against the Gibeonites. David seeks to make atonement for this sin while also remaining merciful to the oath that he swore to Jonathan. David's battles and victories against mighty Philistine warriors were worked by the LORD through Israelite soldiers even after David was no longer fighting with his army.  Rev. Zelwyn Heide, pastor at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hanover, ND and Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem, ND, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Samuel 21:1-22.  "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. 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

In 2 Samuel 21, David asks the Gibeonites how he can atone for Israel's sin against them. David was dealing with the consequences from Saul's sin, but he sought the Lord with courage. There are individual and cultural consequences when we take our eyes off the Lord. We must rise up, put a stake in the ground, and take on the consequences In the name of the Lord.

We all struggle with fully surrendering to God even though his justice and mercy are evident. But not the Gibeonites. They set an example in this passage by wisely surrendering while there was still time. Sermon Outline:I. The Opposite of SurrenderII. The Wisdom of SurrenderIII.

Fr. Mike expands on the significance of establishing a covenant relationship, and how the trickery of the Gibeonites can represent the desire to enter into a relationship with God out of fear rather than out of love. Today's readings are Joshua 8-9, and Psalm 126. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Recorded 03/23/2025 Pastor Larry G. Stephens brings a message from Joshua chapter nine on the Gibeonites and how they deceived the Israelites into making a lasting covenant.  This narrative teaches us to consult with the council of the Lord in all areas of life.

In Joshua 9, the Gibeonites, a Canaanite city, deceive the Israelites into a peace treaty by pretending to be from a distant land, leading the Israelites to make a covenant with them without first seeking God's guidance.

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. It's March 21st, 2025, and we're diving deep into powerful passages from the book of Joshua and 1 Corinthians. I'm Hunter, your brother, and your Bible reading coach, here to guide us on this journey through the Word. Today, we venture through Joshua chapters 9 to 11, witnessing the cunning of the Gibeonites and Joshua's epic battles, showcasing faith interwoven with shrewdness and cunning. We then turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, where we are prompted to consider how our faith shapes our interactions within the community. Echoing through these narratives is the call to a faith that is not just wise but rooted deeply in God. Let's allow these scriptures to challenge and encourage us as they point us to the living Word, Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these timeless truths together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Now the Gibeonites were wise, and you might say that their wisdom was rooted in a kind of faith. The same kind of faith Rahab had. Both had confidence that God was going to give the land to Israel. They both responded in fear before God's people, and both acted with wisdom and cunning in order that their people might be saved. In the end, the Gibeonites would be saved by their faith just as Rahab had been saved by her faith. It's their faith in God, the God of Israel, that causes them to make peace with the God of Israel even when their shrewdness was deceitful. They didn't trust in their power, their might, their alliances. No. They sought to make peace with God. There is a shrewdness in these Gibeonites. Their deception leads to their deliverance. They, like Rahab, saw that the God of Israel was a God of deliverance; they recognized that this God delivered the Hebrew people out of Egypt and was giving them this land. And so they were shrewd. They were deceitful. And in their shrewd deceit, they found deliverance. Sometimes faith looks a lot like shrewdness. Jesus tells a parable of the shrewd manager who makes friends with all of his master's debtors in order that he might be delivered from his own financial ruin. He gave away what was not his in order that he might have life. And in a similar way, the people of Gideon gave away something in order that they might have life. They were shrewd, And Jesus commends this kind of shrewdness, the willingness to let go, to give away, to not hold on and insist on my own way. This is the way of faith, and sometimes it looks cunning and shrewd, and sometimes it finds its way into very practical situations in life, like the conflict between sisters and brothers in Christ. Sometimes there must be a shrewdness, a willingness to let go, to give something away in order for there to be peace. This is in part what Paul's trying to show us in our Corinthian reading today. The Corinthians, the Gibeonites, you and I are called to live by faith. A faith that is shrewd, A faith that invests itself primarily in our relationships with God, his people, and this world. And often, we need to give something away to let go of our own way in order that we might have life. May God give us faith that is shrewd, that is cunning, wise, and obedient. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  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 tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Ever feel like you’re standing on the edge of something God promised but hesitating to step forward? You’re not alone. In Joshua 10-14, we see battles won, prayers so bold they stopped the sun, and an unlikely group—the Gibeonites—who secured a covenant with God by accident.

In this Bible Story, Israel battles against five allied armies. God sends hail from the sky and causes the sun to stand still until Israel prevails over their foe. This story is inspired by Joshua 9-10. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Joshua 9:15 from the King James Version.Episode 55: The Gibeonites, a people of the land of Canaan, hear about what God is doing for the people of Israel and fear for their lives. In this fear, they devise a plan to deceive Israel into thinking that they are weary travelers coming from afar, in hopes that Israel might make a treaty with them. This caused five of the tribes in Canaan to gather together as one in an attempt to make war against Israel. But even though their numbers were large, they were no match for the God of Israel. He caused hail to go before them and even allowed the sun to stand still until the armies of the Canaanite kings were thoroughly defeated.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Have you ever made a decision that seemed right in the moment but later came back to bite you? That's what happened to Israel when the Gibeonites tricked them into a treaty. Instead of asking God, they relied on their own judgment—and it cost them. How often do we do the same in relationships, jobs, or commitments, only to realize we should've prayed first? Even though Israel messed up, they kept their word, proving that integrity matters—even when it's inconvenient. In today's episode, Pastor David Maestas reminds us that we won't always get it right, but God can still work through our mistakes. The key is slowing down, seeking Him first, and trusting His wisdom over what just looks like a good idea. SUBSCRIBE for more biblical episodes like this.

Unresolved wrongs don't disappear, because all sin has consequences. #daybydaylw Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org! ~~~ "Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David sought the face of the Lord." Israel faced a crisis—a three-year famine. People suffered, and there was no end in sight. But the famine wasn't just a natural disaster; it was the result of an unresolved sin from Saul's reign. The Israelites had broken a covenant with the Gibeonites, shedding innocent blood. Now, the weight of that injustice hung over the nation. David, recognizing that this was more than bad luck, sought the Lord. When he learned of the cause, he took action to make things right. The Gibeonites didn't ask for money or land. They asked for justice. And though it was difficult, David honored their request, ensuring that Israel upheld its promise. Only then did the famine lift. This passage reminds us that sin has consequences. Unresolved wrongs don't just disappear—they linger until they are dealt with. Are there areas in your life where God is calling you to make things right? Are there past hurts, broken relationships, or sins left unaddressed? Seeking God's face means being willing to bring those things before Him and taking the necessary steps to reconcile. Prayer Focus: Ask God to reveal any unresolved areas in your life. Pray for courage to take steps toward reconciliation. Lift up Jairo Bonilla and his family, serving in Costa Rica. Pray for the Kaqchiquel/Maya Lifeword broadcast in Guatemala. When we seek the Lord and act in obedience, He is faithful to restore and heal.

Jesus stepped in as our mediator to become our atoning sacrifice and pay for our sins with His blood. #daybydaylw Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org! ~~~ "God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith." When famine struck Israel, David knew there was unfinished business—an offense that had not been atoned for. The Gibeonites still held resentment over Saul's violation of a covenant made in the name of the Lord. This was more than a political issue; it was a spiritual crisis. Was God truly righteous, just, and faithful to His promises? David sought to make atonement—not just to restore the people of Israel but to uphold the name of the Lord. The atonement price was steep: seven sons of Saul, executed to satisfy the demand for justice. The shedding of blood was the means by which forgiveness was granted, a theme that runs throughout Scripture. The burden of guilt was lifted, the famine was ended, and the integrity of God's justice was upheld. Does this sound familiar? It should. This event foreshadows the ultimate atonement—Jesus Christ. Like Israel, we are starving in a famine of righteousness. We are dead in sin, burdened by the guilt passed down from Adam. But Jesus, our perfect Mediator, stepped in. He became our atoning sacrifice, shedding His blood so that we could be forgiven. His death on the cross not only secures our redemption but also proves that God is perfectly righteous and just. Prayer Focus: Thank God for His justice and mercy through Jesus Christ. Ask for a heart that seeks righteousness and honors God's faithfulness. Lift up David Marroquin and his family, serving in Guatemala. Pray for the Quechua Lifeword broadcast in Bolivia & Peru. Jesus alone makes things right between us and God—for our good and His glory!

Joshua 9:1-27 | Andrew Murch | In Joshua 9 the Nation of Israel continues its conquest of the land of Canaan. They are fresh off victories in Jericho and Ai so the Canaanites know that they have a target on their backs. Therefore they decide to band together as one to fight Joshua and Israel. Enter the Gibeonites (the Hivites). Gibeon was a town about 6 miles northwest of Jerusalem, in modern-day El-Jib. The Gibeonites knew that the Israelites had defeated Jericho and Ai and decided to act cunningly to see if they could get Israel to make a peace treaty (covenant) with them. The Gibeonites became actors in their own play and pretended to come from a foreign land. They had all the right props…moldy bread, worn-out wineskins, patched sandals, and tattered clothing.

In this deep-dive episode, Pastor Alec Seekins and CJ Bergman unpack the powerful themes in Joshua 9-10, exploring how God remains faithful even when we make unwise commitments. They discuss the Gibeonites' deception, the audacious prayer of Joshua for the sun to stand still, and the profound foreshadowing of Christ's victory over sin. Along the way, they wrestle with difficult questions about God's justice, the nature of biblical warfare, and what it means to trust Him in the battles we face today.

Have you ever been in terrible trouble where escape seemed impossible? This week, Pastor Connor continues the story of the Gibeonites, the tricky tribe that scammed Joshua into forming an alliance. When the Gibeonites are attacked by their neighbors, God sends Joshua and the Israelites to rescue them. But don't be fooled: God does most of the heavy lifting Himself. Join us for this message about killer hailstones, unusual solar behavior, and how the whole story points us to Christ.This week, our hosts go deeper into Joshua chapter 10, we find out who spoke to the Sun and the Moon, we hear about different theories of what fell from the sky that day, and they go over verse 14 in more detail. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about the biggest US hail storms on record and the largest hailstone ever discovered.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

We often admire those who boldly ask for what they want, and this audacity reflects a deeper spiritual truth—God invites us to ask for what we need with the same boldness. In Joshua 10, Joshua makes an audacious request, and God makes the sun stand still, showing that when our hearts align with His will, He responds beyond human limitations. The Gibeonites deceived Israel instead of asking for mercy, much like we sometimes try to earn God's favor. Yet, God honors Joshua's faithfulness, proving His steadfastness even when we make mistakes. This passage challenges us to confront idols like success and wealth and trust in Jesus, who offers full redemption—already paid for. We just need to ask.

This week, we explore the power of deception—how it operates in everyday life, in history, and in our spiritual journey. Our host shares a personal story about falling for a pyramid scheme at 17, hoping for an easy financial return that never came. This lighthearted yet insightful reflection sets the stage for a deeper conversation on deception's role in our lives.From military strategies, like the British army's clever World War II deception, to biblical lessons in Joshua 9, we see how deception has long been used as a tool to mislead and manipulate. The Israelites fell for a deceptive scheme by the Gibeonites because they relied on their own understanding rather than seeking God's wisdom—a mistake we often make today.We also examine spiritual deception, looking at how Satan, the “father of lies” (John 8:44), operates subtly, leading people astray not always through blatant attacks, but through small compromises and friendly approaches. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion, looking for ways to lead us into decisions that have long-term consequences (1 Peter 5:8-9).Key Takeaways:• Deception is not always obvious—it often appears beneficial.• Spiritual deception is real—the enemy disguises himself as an angel of light.• Consult God before making big decisions—Israel's failure was trusting their own judgment instead of seeking the Lord.• God's grace is bigger than our mistakes—even when we fall into deception, He can redeem and restore.We wrap up with a message of hope—our failures do not define us. God's redemptive power can turn even our worst mistakes into something meaningful. If you've ever been misled, made a bad decision, or fallen into a trap of deception, know that God's grace is greater than your failures.Closing Thought:“Don't make a peace treaty with the enemy—resist him, stand firm, and trust in God's wisdom.”

In today's message, Pastor Steven unveils an incredible truth. Even when God knows that we are about to make a terrible mistake He allows us to continue with it when we do not seek His advice. Learn about Joshua‘s huge blunder, and how you can avoid a similar situation.

Not every neighbor has good intentions. When the Gibeonites deceive Joshua, he fails to seek God's guidance—but God still works through his mistake. Even in our missteps, God's grace prevails. Later, when Israel fights the Amorites, God steps in, fighting for His people in miraculous ways. This sermon reminds us to stay vigilant against the enemy's lies, trust God's sovereignty even in our failures, and rest in His power to fight our battles. Will you let God lead your decisions and your victories?

God is granting to Israel, and to us an inheritance. But, we face enemies along the way who will do whatever they can to stop us from living out our inheritance. Those enemies can sometimes be within, like Achan's greed - or without - the Canaanite kings or the Gibeonites - so we must be vigilant to obey the words and commands of God and live in a right relationship with Him.

Joshua lets his guard down, not inquiring of the Lord before making a treaty with the Gibeonites. Chapter 9 packs valuable lessons about making wise decisions by seeking God's counsel and the importance of maintaining integrity when the circumstances influence you to compromise your character.

Today's daf is sponsored by Susan Kurzmann in honor of the yahrzeit of her mother, Rivkah bat h'Rav Simcha Bunim, A"H. "My mother showed my siblings and me through her example how wonderful and important it is to always keep learning." The derivation for the law that capital cases can only be judged during the day comes from Bamidbar 25:4 when those who had worshipped ba'al peor were hung in broad daylight. The verse there uses the verb "v'hoka" which is explained to mean that they were hung. The proof for that definition comes from the verse Samuel 2 21:6 when King David allowed the Gibeonites to kill the sons of Saul in an act of revenge. If the court wants to convict in a capital case, they wait until the following day, halanat hadin. Two different verses from Isaiah Chapter 1 are brought as a possible source for this law. Because of that law, capital cases cannot begin on a Friday as if they would convict, the case would need to be finished the next day and if the person was found guilty, they would need to execute on Shabbat and that is forbidden, as it is a violation of Shabbat. From here it is clear that capital punishment doesn't override Shabbat. Several kal v'chomers are suggested regarding what types of things could possibly override Shabbat, and whether or not they do is clarified. The first suggestion is of Reish Lakish, that burial of a met mitzva should override Shabbat. If a met mitzva overrides worship in the Temple and worship in the Temple overrides Shabbat, then shouldn't met mitzva override Shabbat!? The derivation that a met mitzva overrides worship in the Temple is learned from a verse about the nazir, Bamidbar 6:7. Rabbi Yochanan responds to Reish Lakish that the kal v'chomer he suggested is invalid as can be proven from implementing the death penalty which does not override Shabbat but does override worship in the Temple. The Gemara questions Rabbi Yochanan by suggesting another kal v'chomer that could teach that implementing the death penalty perhaps overrides Shabbat. Rava rejects this suggestion as a braita of Rabbi Yishmael brings a derivation from Shmot 35:3 "You shall not kindle a fire throughout your settlements on Shabbat" that teaches that the court cannot implement the death penalty on Shabbat.

After three years of famine, it is revealed to King David that the cause of the drought is Saul's wiping out of the Gibeonites.

01/05/2025 - Sunday Morning Message at Pinheads Family Entertainment Center in Fishers, IN

église AB Lausanne ; KJV 2 Samuel (2 Kings) 21 Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites. And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.) Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD? And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.

And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night. ...
