Podcasts about god purpose

A look at Esther as an unlikely hero who's story serves to confirm how God uses various people to write His story. 

Will God really fulfill his purpose through us? We conclude our series by exploring what causes us to doubt if he will.

Join biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana and astronomer David Block as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence.   Purpose in Cosmology and Biology Is the fine-tuning of the universe limited to the constants of physics or does it manifest in other areas of science such as chemistry, biochemistry, and biology? In this episode, David and Fuz describe and discuss the anthropic principle and its theological implications. They also discuss the idea of process structuralism, an evolutionary model that maintains that physical forces—not natural selection—shaped the history of life. How does this view of the evolutionary process intersect with the anthropic principle? And how do these two ideas provide evidence for design and purpose in the universe and life?

r this message is available Introduction James 5 We are in our penultimate study of the book of James. One more to go after this. We end the book of James next week on Easter Sunday. Now if you were with us last time, we looked at the beginning of this concluding paragraph of James. James is concluding his letter with a call for prayer. Why? Because in a letter that is all about giving us evidences of faith, he closes with the greatest evidence. He closes with the slam dunk. What is it? It is prayer. There is no greater evidence. And that's not just homiletical hype. It's just a fact. Suppose a man's boat is sinking at sea. That man needs a power outside of himself, an outside entity like the coast guard to come save him. What would be the evidence of that? He would get on the radio and call for help. That would be the irrefutable evidence of the location of his greatest source of hope. And so James concludes his letter by saying, you want to know how to tell if you have faith in God? You want to know where your true hope lies. Do you trust in self-repair? Do you trust in your ability to bail water faster than it is coming in? Do you trust in your dingy of self-effort? Or do you trust in the life-saving power of the God of the Universe? The evidence that you trust in God will be prayer. Prayer, prayer, prayer. So last week, James said: If you are suffering, here's what I want you to do: pray. If you are rejoicing, here's what I want you to do: pray. If you are physically sick or spiritually weak, here's what I want you to do: pray. And last week we closed with the first half of verse 16. The exhortation was to pray. Now today what James is going to do is inspire us that this is not just a spiritual exercise without a point. There can be tremendous power in prayer. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” And today we are going to see what it is that makes prayer powerful. Now to instruct us, he gives us an example. Now here's what we are going to do. Let's first just tell tell the story that James is referencing. Then at the very end, we'll re-read James and I think the application will just drop right in place. So the story of Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal comes from 1 Kings 17-18. A little background. When we open up chapter 17, it's been about one hundred years since the united monarchy. The kingdom is now divided between Israel in the North and Judah in the South. Ahab is King along with his lovely wife, Jezebel. Ahab and Jezebel, together, were on a campaign to try to and make Israel religiously tolerant. They have torn down many of the altars to YHWH. They have replaced them with idols to Baal who was a great rain god, a storm god. And Baal worship and Ashera worship was horribly immoral on so many levels. And of course God is not happy about this. God wants to turn the hearts of his people back to him. So what does God do? Well, God's leading prophet at the time is Elijah. So the Lord sends his prophet Elijah to Ahab and Jezebel and in verse 1 we read, 1 Kings 17 Now why does God cause a drought? Because it's God's way of challenging the slick and shiny new god Baal that had become so popular. Baal is the god of the storm, the god of rain. So really he's saying, “Go ahead and pray for rain. Pray to Baal all you want. Pray it up. We'll see who's the Lord of the storm.” Because god is God, Elijah says, you can pray all day long and it will do ZERO because Baal does not give rain. YHWH does. And YHWH, BECAUSE HE IS REAL, has decreed ZERO rain until I give the word. Now if you know anything about the climate of Israel you know that a drought of that magnitude never happens. Israel is a desert climate and there have always been droughts but it always rains some. I pulled the weather data for Israel for the last hundred years. The least amount of rain they ever received in the last 100 years was 7 inches (by comparison we get about 12 here).So here we are told in the text that they would receive neither dew nor rain unless Elijah spoke the word. That would truly be a miracle. Israel is sitting right off the Mediteranian sea. You have this monster body of water and all that moisture just right there. Your going to get some rain. And yet ZERO. NADA. And they wait. So the rest of chapter 17 is Elijah along with the rest of Israel suffering this out. This where you get to story of Elijah being fed by the ravens and staying with the Widow and raising her son and all that. 1 Kings 18 Three years. This is way serious. So Elijah is sent to Ahab to put an an end to all this. God is going to send rain and demonstrate that he is the God of the storm, not Baal. Now watch how this interaction goes down between Elijah and Ahab. A time is arranged for the two of them to meet and we read in verse 17: Ahab sees Elijah and sticks out his bony finger. You! You troubler of Israel. Elijah says, “Ha you think I'm the problem?!” No sir. You are the problem. You have drug the name of YHWH through the mud. You have scorned his commands. You have worshiped other Gods. And you think I'm the problem? You're abandonment of God has caused this drought, not me. I am just the messenger. I am the Postal worker handing you a letter. Now if you pause for a second, what you have here are two interpretations of the same event. We both agree there is no rain. Why? Ahab's interpretation is, it's because of Elijah. Elijah's interpretation is it's because of Ahab. Whose right? Let's setup a little experiment which both parties agree would be ultimately conclusive. So here's what Elijah suggests. The question that is being asked is this, “Who controls the weather?” That is not a trivia question. They are all suffering. Deeply suffering. Animals are dying. People are dying. Crops are dying. This is not an inconsequential moment. It's not a question of who controls the rain. It's a question of whose God can bring us salvation? Which God is real? Which God has power? Which God cares? Let's setup an experiment to see. Now everyone is here knowing this is a contest. And Elijah confronts them before the contest starts. How long will you go limping between two opinions? Here's what Elijah is saying: There are only two positions, Israel. You can't logically stay neutral. Either the claim of YHWH is true or the claim of YHWH is false. "Either YHWH is the one and only God or he is not. Which is it? Either there is one god or many. You are either for God or against him. You either believe his claims or you don't. Decide. To be neutral, to not take a stand, is delusional. To stand in the swmapy middle is to get the benefit of neither and to get the scorn of both. You can't limp between two opinions. C.S. Lewis once said, “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” Choose. Elijah is really pressing on this point. And apparently the logic silences the people. They see they are in checkmate. We can't say we believe in YHWH because if we believe in YHWH, then we need to do what YHWH says and YHWH says we are supposed to destroy the Baals and we like the Baals. So they stay silent. The nation of Israel has become comfortable with a logical inconsistency. They have come to the point where they have said, “No, YHWH, he's a great God. We like YHWH. We will totally sacrifice to him. We also like Baal. We also like Asherah." And Elijah forces them to this uncomfortable point, "If you say you love YHWH then you must hate Baal and Asherah. There is no other option.” They have no answer. Elijah takes their silence as permission to proceed with the showdown. So for starters that's not very good odds. Don't forget there's also 400 prophets of Asherah present. So we have 850:1. Not good odds. But this is the pattern of God. God goes out of the way to create these sorts of moments. He loves when the weak things of the world shame the wise. So now we get the rules. Here's the contest rules. Here's how we compare in a fair and equitable way. In other words, we both get an altar. We both get wood. We both get a bull. But neither of us gets fire. The God who provides the fire is the real God. Who can deny that this would be the great evidence of which God is real? I mean, that would pretty much seal the deal, right? Who could deny it? You guys are many. You should be able to do this a bit quicker than me. You guys go first. After four hours of screaming and wailing they are answered with silence. Nothing. And so Elijah interjects and begins to help them interpret the silence. He says, maybe the problem is your lack earnestness and sincerity. I think you need to turn up the volume. And so Elijah who has a PhD in sarcasm, begins to mock them. And I imagine Elijah's sarcasm really just screwing down their resolve. Mockery has a way of shoveling coal into the engine that protects our pride. And they work themselves into a frothing, foaming mess. What a graphic picture. And how sad! The gushing blood of self-destruction. This is the graphic end of all idol worship, self-destruction. It could be the worship of money, sex, power, image, acceptance, whatever…. You give and you give and you give yourself to your god and the price becomes steeper and steeper and so you give more and more. You give your sweat your tears, you give your blood, you give your life, you sacrifice everything and because it is no god at all, it will not answer you and will not deliver you and will not satisfy you. And you lay on the ground panting and dying and without life. Look at the scene. Here they are after the full day is spent and still thirsty. They are cut open and dying. The sun is out baking their exhausted frames. And there is nothing. Why? Lack of sincerity? Lack of zeal? No. It's because Baal isn't real. At the end of the day, is not this the only question that matters? What's real? Sincerity apart from truth equals destruction. So just silence. Blood all over the ground. Bodies passed out from exhaustion. Panting weak frames. No attention. No response. No answer. Just deafening silence. So Elijah steps forward. Have you had enough? Man, that's a statement. You see this altar you ordered to be tore down, Ahab. That was a mistake. Perhaps you have abandoned the very thing that could have saved you? Your discernment of what has worth is a bit off, Ahab. And you can imagine Elijah, the sole prophet surrounded by thousands of people. And the sound of those stones clanking one against another. So let's just consider the odds: You have 850 prophets versus 1 You have dry wood versus soaked wood. You have a dry bull versus soaked bull. And no trench of water versus full trench of water. Elijah is in this incredible position of weakness and honestly foolishness. Why? You want to know why? So God can flex. God's gonna flex. It's a statement, "I want to show you just how in control of this whole thing I am. I want to demonstrate that nothing that happens is accidental. I want to demonstrate that at my word creation leaps into obedience. God loves weakness. He loves to use weak. Who among us feels weak right now? Who feels drug down by life? Who feels like a failure and absolutely unable to do anything for God's kingdom. Well then you are perfect material. That's exactly who God loves to use. The Prayer It's now Elijah's turn. All eyes were on him. I'm sure the Baal worshipers are licking their jobs. There are some people sharpening their spears. And I'm sure Elijah is thinking, “I hope this works.” The other prophets danced. They screamed. It was a frenzy. There was potions and screaming and cutting. It would have been chaos to watch. By contrast. One prophet. And Elijah does no ritual. He just talks conversationally to God. And here is what he prays: Next comes the most explicit purpose statement in all the story. We'll come back to it but just read it for now. So that's the prayer. The prayer is TWO SENTENCES. I just love that. TWO SENTENCES. The prophets of Baal have been at it for FOUR HOURS and Elijah prays TWO SENTENCES. And now it's just quiet. Now, I want you to think about what everyone at this point is likely expecting. Why did they setup this contest? They are wanting what? They are wanting rain. And so they said, “He who answers by fire is the true God.” So what do you think they were expecting? Or to say it another way, in what form do you think they expected the fire to come? Lighting, right. I think they would have expected the clouds to slowly build. Okay the clouds are rolling in. They are getting thicker and thicker. That's what everyone wants. We want the gods to break the drought. Now let's just say the clouds start rolling in. Everyone gets excited, “One of them is answering.” **But the question is, “Which God is causing this to happen?** That's the great question, right? Whose the God of the rain?” And so the lighting is going to answer. Strike the altar of Baal. He's God. Strike the altar of Elijah, YHWH'S God. That's what everybody is expecting. Who knows, maybe even Elijah is expecting this. But God wants it to be totally clear. I don't want this to be a guessing game or maybe that this is some rando accidental stray lighting bolt. After Elijah's two sentence prayer out of the CLEAR BLUE SKY… The bull. The wood. The water. The stones — even the stones. Consumed in a flash. You can kind of imagine the shock, the surprise, the terror. Can you imagine the freakin scene? You have all these prophets and their knees turn to jelly and they fall with their face in the sand. Just zoom out and observe the the dual: Over here you have the side of Baal. You have the prophets pealing their faces off the dirt with mouths wide open. They have blood dripping down their arms. You have the altar with this giant bull and the blood is dried on his fur and his tongue is just hanging out of his mouth and there are flies just buzzing around. That's Baal. And then you have the side of YHWH. And there's just a smoldering hole in the earth where the soaked animal, on the soaked wood on the soaked stones once stood. And there's one man, Elijah, with fire in his eyes. Dang. That would leave an impression. Now what was the purpose of this whole deal? We said we'd come back to verse 37: There are two purposes for this miracle. Purpose #1. YHWH is God. YHWH is not an idea. YHWH is not folk tradition or a memory. YHWH is not a figurehead of some religion. YHWH is not something that exists only in the imagination. YHWH is not a cultural expression of a particular people group. YHWH is not a force. He's not a symbol. YHWH is GOD — the living, active, fire-sending, sin-hating, idolatry-destroying, prayer-hearing, personal God. “when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, The LORD, he is God” Purpose #1 accomplished. There was a second purpose. Purpose #2 was that “that this people may know that you have turned their hearts back.” Cause the people of Israel to know that God did it. Let's make a really clear distinction between what they did and what God did. Here's what they did. Their hearts ran after the Baals and Asheroths. Their hearts betrayed God. Their hearts Spurned God. Their hearts Belittled God. Their hearts loved other things more than God. Their hearts had Devalued God. That's what they did And here's what God did. God intervened. He showed his power. He flexed. He turned them back. God saved. God rescued. God did it. That's the point of the story. Hang on to that as we come back to James. Now the prophets of Baal are rounded up an executed. Even though it is not explicitly stated in the text, my guess is that this was a pre-agreed upon arrangement. The prophets of the losing god die. Whose doing the seizing? Elijah was by himself, remember? Answer: the people whose hearts have been turned back! Part of repentance is destroying whatever God you had been worshiping. Now God had promised that their would be rain that day. And now we can almost taste it. God said it would rain. But just because God says something is ABSOLUTELY going to happen, doesn't mean vehicles aren't necessary to make it happen. I can decide to go to Costco, but I need a vehicle. Right? God says it will rain. He chooses to do it through the vehicle of Elijah's prayer. Think about it: the OMNIPOTENT power of God is like a passenger who rides the vehicle of Elijah's prayer. So here is Elijah, a normal man, a common man, a man with a nature like ours and it's his prayer which becomes the vehicle that carries the power of the RAIN CREATING God of the universe. What? What a privilege. He's dead serious. He's desperate. He's fervent. And he prays. Now why do you think he got up and had his messenger look? Because he thought his first prayer worked. And it didn't. So what did he do? He prayed again. And why do you think he sent his messenger a second time? Because he thought, surely, now God will answer. It's time. It's past time. But it didn't. So he prayed a third. Nothing. A fourth. Nothing. A fifth. Nothing. A sixth. Nothing. But then finally it happened. Okay, so that's the story. We needed to do all that work (and it wasn't really work; that was fun!). We did that review so we could apply our text today. So let's go back to the book of James: Now what is James' point here? James wants us to pray? You suffering? Pray. You joyful? Pray. You sick spiritually or physically? Pray. That's what I want you to do. Now because we are weak humans, we need encouragement. Have you ever felt like your prayers were ineffective? Have you ever felt like your prayers were not answered in the way you hoped. You ever prayed once, twice, three, four, five times and felt like your prayers did nothing. Well James is here to inspire us and to remind us of the power of prayer. And you are asking the question, what do I need to do to make my prayers effective? James has an answer. I think this point comes as one of the greatest points of encouragement. It's the same sort of encouragement a weekend golfer receives when he watches a PGA tour pro shank his drive straight into the pond. Okay, you are human. There's a sort of sick delight that comes from that. It's not actually encouraging to watch top-notch excellence all day long because none of us can relate. That's not me. They are amazing. They can play the piano so fast I can't see their fingers and they never make a mistake. Those basketball players are freaks of nature. That Musk guy can build a company that shoots rockets into space, while also managing a boring company and a solar company and a car company and a battery company. Wow. I can't do that. I barely know how to change the battery in my smoke alarm. We look at excellence and we say, “I know that none of this is attainable for me.” I don't have the genetics. I don't have the money, the educational advantages, the connections, the skills. I wasn't dealt that deck of cards. It doesn't matter how much I train, how much I dedicate myself. I'm too far behind. I could never be that. They are amazing. I am a loser. But here we have this man, Elijah, and the first thing we are told is that the man Elijah had a nature just like you and I. There was absolutely nothing exceptional about Elijah. Here's what Elijah was. He was human. If you are human you have everything necessary to experience the same world shaping power of prayer as Elijah experienced. Folks, that is encouraging. Elijah's prayer accomplished much. We see this clearly in the text. He prayed fervently that it would not rain… We see it. Face between his knees. Once, twice, three four five times. What is the place of fervency? Clearly, fervency is important. Do you remember the story of the persistent neighbor. The story is of a man who comes to his neighbor at night asking for break. And the guy's in the middle of his sleep and he's all warm in his blankets and he says, "Dude, go back home." But he keeps asking. And eventually, he gives in, not because he's a friend but because he's annoyed and wants to sleep. Jesus commends persistence. He loves fervency. Why? It's not that Jesus wants to be annoyed. He can't be annoyed. The reason fervency honors the Lord is because it's a confident assertion of where help really lies.It's the great indicator that a “no” from God does not mean, “God has abandoned me, turn to other sources of help.” When we continue to pray we proclaim, “Nothing else can help me. I have nowhere else to turn. It's the great proclamation.” The cry of a child to his parents, however annoying and disrespectful it may be, does say one thing loud and clear. You and you alone can help. I'm not going to go randomly ask some stranger on the sidewalk. I'm asking you mom, because I know you care. You want to know why kids at foster homes don't cry? Because they've learned that these care workers won't help me. It's pointless to cry. My persistence does nothing. My fervency is ignored. Persistent prayer is an indicator of faith. Persistent prayer is trust in the love of caring father. It's an indicator of faith. But persistent prayer by itself is not enough. Do you see the fervency of the Baal worshippers. They were fervent. They got nothing. Fervency must be coupled with righteousness. The effective prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. I want to rescue this term from what I'm guessing you think it means. We use this term so improperly. We would describe a man as righteous and in doing so what comes to mind is law-abiding, a man who does good works, a man who abstains from evil. Its almost a synonym for moral. Disabuse your mind of that. That is not how the Bible uses the word. Righteous means, RIGHT WITH GOD. If you are righteous you are right with God and if you are unrighteous you are NOT RIGHT WITH GOD. That's all the word means. So when we talk about being someone who is self-righteous, what we are saying is that this person is trying to get right with God by themselves. They are trying to make themselves right with God by their good works, by their performance, by their effort. The Bible says there is only one kind of righteous person. The only way to be righteous is to receive a righteousness that is not your own. The only way to be righteous is to let someone else make you righteous. You don't work yourself into a froth like the Baal worshipers to make yourself acceptable to God. God said to Elijah, I am going to perform this great wonder so that they may know that they will know who I am and that I turned their hearts back to me. In Elijah's day, that's righteousness. Acknowledge what God has done. The sacrifice has been accepted. He is God. Today is Palm Sunday where we acknowledge Jesus Christ, the sacrifice, riding into Jerusalem to be nailed to a tree. What are we looking at here? God the father is saying, "I am going to perform this great wonder so that they may know that they will know who I am and that I turned their hearts back to me." We are approaching Easter where God breaks jaws of death. We approach Easter where resurrection life is realized through this great wonder of the cross. We come to Easter to receive a gift of life that is not achieved through the frothy foamy self-righteousness. Receive that gift and your prayer becomes a vehicle for the God of the universe. The prayer of that man, that man who has received a righteousness not his own, that prayer of that man is effective.

But it’s God Purpose that will Prevail

God is way bigger than your purpose. Too many times we get lost in trying to do things in the name of God, and trying to fit our plans to align in with what God is saying to us, but instead we never learn that God has a unique word for each of us. We shouldn't be concerned with going in our plans and saying I am doing this FOR God's kingdom, but rather doing this as a part of my specific calling IN God's kingdom. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/davravid-talks-too-much/support

Morality exists. And it will continue to exists. That's the reality we face. Is it subjective? Is it objective? It doesn't matter, as the story of morality will continue to provide justification, purpose, meaning, insight, and a uniting force for groups of people to live by that's the point....maybe.

Relationship is key to experiencing the Fulness of God. Life is not just about studying the Bible, listening to messages or reading books. These are secondary. What matters to God more is that you spend time with Him and know Him. That's why He sent Jesus - to bring us back to Him. We are now reconciled to enjoy that perfect relationship with the Father.  How do we come to experience the reality of that relationship? It's not supposed to be an intellectual relationship. Our human minds are not designed to interact and comprehend an awesome, vast God. He gives us an experience of Himself that far transcends intellectuality - a tangible loving relationship.  Know more here...   Part 1: The Simplicity of God https://youtu.be/tnwN3Weob70    Part 2: The Nature of God https://youtu.be/eVCKtVG1s8A    #RealityOfGod #GodReality #LifeDeeperStill
