What did it mean for Israel to be the light of the world? In today's episode, Patrick shares how 1 Kings 9:10-28 encourages us to follow the world's true light, King Jesus.

Josiah's life shows us the beauty of renewal: hearing God's Word, grieving over sin, tearing down false worship, and turning fully to the living God. Yet even this unparalleled king couldn't rescue his people from God's coming judgment. Why? Because sin runs deeper than our best efforts—it clings to us in guilt and shame, and no amount of personal reform can remove it. The good news is that Jesus does what Josiah could not: He bears our guilt, carries our shame, and takes God's wrath in our place. This is the hope that truly makes us new.

The things written in the Old Testament are written for our learning (Rom. 15:4).  The kings of Israel and Judah can teach us many lessons that have application for today.  Uzziah teaches us to surround ourselves with good influences, while also warning us of the dangers of pride. Speaker: Justin P. Sivley

Why are we obsessed with kings? What makes Jesus a good king? Will you submit to him? In today's episode, Keith shares how 2 Samuel 21:15-22 points to King Jesus, who fights our battles for us.

The promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ.From the series: The Story of God(bulletin here)

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on what the Bible is all about. Do you really know what the Bible is about? When you understand the point an author is trying to make even the most complicated of books make much more sense. This summer we are going to “stand on the shoulders” of D. A. Carson and his book The God Who is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story as we walk through the big story of Scripture to discuss what the Bible is truly about.

Even the best men have faults, but Jesus ascended as the Man and King with no fault. #daybydaylw Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org! ~~~ David, despite his flaws, points us to something greater. His humility after failure, his intercession for the people, his costly worship—all these highlight why he was a good king. Yet David's goodness has limits. He sins. He fails. He needs mercy himself. This final chapter of Samuel whispers for something more: a greater King. One who would not just intercede but bear the full penalty. One whose obedience would be perfect, whose mercy would be unending. Jesus is the better David. Where David sinned, Jesus obeyed. Where David offered symbolic sacrifices, Jesus became the sacrifice. Where David's mercy spared a city, Jesus' mercy spares the world. Prayer Points: Jesus, thank You for being the flawless King David could only foreshadow. Teach me to treasure Your mercy and walk daily in Your grace. Let my life reflect the kind of kingdom You are building—one of mercy and truth. 2 People To Pray For Rigoberto Jimenez and his family, our National Changemakers in El Salvador The Dagaare Lifeword broadcast for the people of Burkina Faso & Ghana

MOST OF THE kings of Judah, and all of those who ruled the northern kingdom of Israel, “did evil in the sight of the LORD.” One notable exception was Asa, king of Judah between about 910 and 873 BC, whose “heart was wholly true all his days.” He got rid of the idols erected by his father, Abijah, and banished male cult prostitutes from the land. The account of his reign in 2 Chronicles further records the religious reforms instituted by Asa, who even removed his mother (or grandmother) Maacah from her position as queen mother because she'd erected an Asherah pole.

Adore the Gracious King. * Truth: The King is worthy of all honor. * Grace: The King loves his people.NEXT STEPS: 1. Submit, revere, trust, and adore.2. Keep growing as a disciple.DISCIPLES IN THE KINGDOMWe are the kind of people who grow to become more like Jesus. We are disciples.What is a disciple? Matthew 4:19 definition: Come Follow me (belong to the body of Christ)... and I will make you (become more like Jesus)... fishers of men (join Jesus in ministry reproducing and multiplying disciples).Best practices for growing as a disciple. * Intimate relationships: deep trust is the soil for life change. * Accountability: speak the truth in love to one another. * Biblical truth: the Bible gives the vision of the life of a disciple. * Spiritual disciplines: practice the habits that lead to intimacy with Jesus and service to others. * Multiplication: empower those who are discipled to disciple others. * Spiritual gifts: serve according to gifts and passions. Four Chair Discipleship Pathway: This pathway builds on the truth that living things grow and leans into the Biblical vision of organic (a seed or a tree), not mechanical growth (an assembly line).

The four chairs of this pathway include: * Chair 1: Come and See (John 1:39) - Seekers * Chair 2: Follow and Grow (John 1:43) - Believers * Chair 3: Abide and Serve (John 15:5) - Workers * Chair 4: Go and Bear Fruit (John 15:16) - ReproducersWhere are you on this pathway?

This Palm Sunday message highlights that all of the Old Testament has a message: The good King will come. Similarly the Gospels have a message: The Good King has come. The choice that falls on each one of us is whether we will crown Him? Or will we crucify Him?

The art of biscuit making is a tender process where contrasting ingredients are gently coaxed into an improbable friendship. No two biscuits are exactly alike, but a good biscuit is something you can give yourself wholly to, even while eyeing the next one. Satisfaction is elusive. There's always plenty and never enough. Yeah, I'm talking about The Blues. The Blues sweet-talks electrifying joy and benumbed pain into a soul-satisfying concoction and lays it all out on the table. Come and get it. Blues and biscuits. No one does it better than "King Biscuit" in Helena Arkansas, one of the best Blues festivals in the world. The post All Hail The Good King Biscuit! appeared first on Living In Beauty.

When an unstoppable army marches to Judah's doorstep–mocking their faith and daring them to trust God–find out how King Hezekiah and the Prophet Isaiah respond (it's awesome) in 2 Kings 18 and 2 Kings 19. Themes of this podcast episode:Recognizing the Enemy's Tactics. The Assyrian commander uses fear, lies, and twisted theology to manipulate Judah into surrender. His strategy mirrors the enemy's tactics today, showing us why we must be grounded in truth to stand firm.Trusting God in the Face of Fear. King Hezekiah faces overwhelming opposition...twice. The first time, he panics and makes a big mistake. The second time, he makes an incredible faith come back. Don't miss this helpful reminder that faith isn't about the absence of fear—it's about where we place our trust when fear comes knocking.Prayer Changes History. Hezekiah's bold, God-centered prayer isn't just a desperate plea, it's a game-changer. His prayer aligns with God's will, giving us a powerful example of how we can bring our own struggles to God.

In this episode, Pastor Blake explore the recurring "sin cycle" as described in Judges 2:6-3:6, reflecting on how it resonates with our own struggles to remain faithful to God.

Whether you're grappling with life's cycles or seeking inspiration to deepen your faith, this message offers encouragement to break free from the patterns of sin and embrace the redemptive power of Christ. Tune in for thought-provoking insights and practical takeaways to strengthen your walk with God.

Hail and well met, book friends! We're feeling pretty silly as we close in on the final episodes of Season 9. We travel back to 10th century Bohemia to learn the story behind the popular Christmas carol "Good King Wenceslas". Join us for a very biblically-styled tale that taught us some things but failed to get us invested in the characters. The author emailed us about his book and, usually when we get emails from authors or PR reps, it's not even worth consideration - but a medieval historical thriller? about a Christmas carol? In this century at this point in history? At this time of year? It only made sense to pop it onto the schedule for December.  Thanks to George himself for furnishing us with a free review copy of the book (and being willing to be featured on TBC with all that may entail)! Musings and derailments include: Duke Abe Simpsovclav of Springfieldia, heavy metal months, Breastfeeding education, Paris's Babadook terrors, and we struggle to poorly sing another song from the book (the titular carol)! In addition to our usual barnyard language, today's episode includes discussion or mention of parental abuse, sexual assault, and murder.

To close out Christmas Giving, we're revisiting an episode many of you probably (and understandably) deleted right away. Jessica Smetana joins for the post-NIU discussion, in which we talked about Marcus Freeman, transfer quarterbacks, stadium atmosphere, coaching searches and a lot more.  Donate to the Center for the Homeless here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/754gdw-rakes-report-christmas-giving-2024 Sign up for the newsletter and/or browse merch here: https://linktr.ee/rakesreport

We may rise above the low spiritual state of those around us by finding our delight in the Lord.

Alright friends - today's episode is a little study of Jaredite “Good King, Bad King”...and the lessons we can learn from them.

It seems to be a huge turning point for most societies.  We see it in the Old Testament, with the Nephites, and here with the Jaredites.  The brother of Jared's words echo clearly...especially to our day.If you'd like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Psalm 100 Pastor Brian Moffatt

Was He a Good King?

Here is high praise: “after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor…before him” (2 Ki 18:5).

History is piled on top of history in this fabled land, and also “grace upon grace” ( Jn 1:16 NASB).

In this Podcast Daniel describes the age-long question: Was Richard the III a good or bad king? He fills in the gaps of fact and fiction; mystery and certainty. Using historical manuscripts, narrative stories and archeolagical evidence, he pieces together the story of Richard III. This episode goes through his achievements, exploits and the truth behind King Richard III. 

We've all been in situations where we know what we should do, but everyone else seems to be going the wrong direction. It can be tough in those times to stand firm. In the second part of “A Good King with a Bad Habit,” Pastor Bayless shares how King Jehoshaphat in the Old Testament learned the hard way that doing the right thing takes courage—which is true for you today as well. Find out how you can stay strong in your convictions in this inspiring message!

Choices have consequences—and the people you choose to surround yourself with will have one of the most consequential impacts on your life. So choose wisely. In part one of his message “A Good King with a Bad Habit,” Pastor Bayless examines the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles, sharing about the power others' actions and attitudes have on you, and how your actions and attitudes can make a difference on them. Learn to surround yourself with the right people and use your influence for good in this encouraging message!

The Good King's compassion brings life to the dead, awe to the living, and a call to compassion to his disciples.
