Podcasts about good king

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus encourages us to take heart amidst a world gone wrong. The Good King will come, but not as we expect, so we must live ready. Audio | Notes | Luke 17:20-37

#Devoted #AuthenticLiving There have been many leaders throughout history, but only one Good King. A message from Pastor Adrian.  This message was recorded on 14/12/2025 during the 10am service.  For more information, head to riveredgechurch.com.au.

The Authority and Heart of a Good King unfolds the dual portrait of David in 2 Samuel 8–9. The king expands his borders, subdues enemies, establishes justice, and consolidates the kingdom under righteous rule. Yet in the midst of conquest, he pauses to remember a covenant promise. Mephibosheth, crippled and hidden away in obscurity, is summoned not for judgment but for mercy. The table of the king becomes a place of adoption. These chapters reveal more than history. They present a redemptive picture of Christ, the greater Son of David, who conquers by divine authority and gathers sinners by sovereign grace. Worship with us at Reformation OPC Gastonia!

In Good King Josiah, we examine the life of one of Judah's greatest reformers. Despite a wicked family legacy, Josiah chose obedience to the Lord—leading a nation back to God by restoring Scripture and worship.This message challenges believers today to rediscover the authority of God's Word and to live with hearts fully devoted to Him.Scripture: 2 Kings 22–23; 2 Chronicles 34–35#GoodKingJosiah, #BibleTeaching, #ChristianPodcast, #FBTLive, #GodsWord

In our Nov 30 Sunday gathering we conclude our series about the Big Story - what Christians believe and what the Bible is all about. This week's discussion questions are below: Which of the seven core beliefs from this series has reshaped your understanding of the Bible the most? Why? How does the ending of the biblical story (Revelation 21) change how you see the beginning (Genesis 1–2)? The sermon compared Revelation's ending to a “twist ending” that reframes everything.
What did the ending of Scripture reframe for you personally? Revelation 21 shows heaven coming down to earth. How is this different from how you grew up imagining “heaven”? What part of the New Jerusalem imagery (garden, city, river, the tree of life, God dwelling with His people) speaks most to you? Why? Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come… on earth as it is in heaven.”
What does that reveal about the current state of the world? Where do you see “shadowlands” in our world today—places where God's effective will is clearly not being done? Why does it matter that Christians understand themselves as living between two kingdoms? How does the parable of the “Good King” help you understand Jesus' mission in a fresh way? What strikes you most about the King entering the rebel kingdom “in fragile flesh and blood”?
How does that deepen your understanding of the gospel? The sermon said: “You are an ambassador of the King.”
What does an ambassador do?
What might that look like in your daily routines? Where do you feel God calling you to “carry His light into the shadowlands” this week? What difference does it make that our future is bodily resurrection—not escaping to a spiritual sky-world? How does the promise that “your labor is not in vain” (1 Cor 15:58) encourage you right now? The sermon said: “Resurrection hope doesn't pull us out of the world—it roots us more deeply in it.”
What does that look like in practical terms? If God is renewing creation, how does that change the way you think about your job, your art, or your acts of justice and service? Which part of your ordinary life feels most connected to God's kingdom purposes? How does the Christian hope of the restoration of all things reshape the way we face pain, loss, or injustice today? Can you think of a time when remembering “the ending of the story” carried you through a hard season? Jesus' final words are: “Behold, I am coming soon.”
What stirs in you when you hear that?
Anticipation? Confusion? Comfort? Something else? What would change in your week if you lived with a conscious awareness:
“The King is returning”?

King Jehoram and King Ahaziah, what really happened? Come Bible Study WITH ME through 2 Kings 8 and ask all the questions!

Sermon Outline: Unfaithfulness to God removes your ability to worship Empty worship turns your blessings into curses Sin is rejecting a Good King for a slavemaster Family Discussion Questions: Should we only worship God with our words or also our heart? Should we listen to pastors who disagree with the Bible? What should we do when God gives us good things? Are Gods commands good or bad for you? Why is Jesus a very good king? Why is sin compared to prostitution? Why does unrepentant sin give us ears ready to hear lunatic preachers? There are some graphic and painful illustrations to speak about how the peoples sinful glory will not last (not even to the next generation). How does painful illustration help us to better evaluate sinful pleasures and glory? Israels history shows that both poverty and abundance created an opportunity to sin. How does abundance do this and what is the solution in this passage? How does the Lord turn our idols into shame? Why does He do this? Can you think of examples from Israels history, or history outside of the Bible where God has done this? What does the happy calf of 10:11 teach us about the Law of God? Israels history showed them (and us) that even though Gods law is good, we have no hope of obtaining eternal life by obedience to it. How does Jesus fulfill the first and last verses of chapter 10?

THE TEMPLE in Jerusalem fell into disrepair within a century of the death of Solomon. The king who repaired it was a good man—mostly. Joash (or Jehoash), son of Ahaziah, reigned in Judah 835–796 BC. He was made king at age seven by the high priest Jehoiada and is credited with restoring the Temple—even pushing the priests, who seemed rather slow to make repairs even after they were ordered to do so. However, the account in 2 Chronicles 24 records that after the death of Jehoiada, Joash fell away and returned to the pagan gods of the Canaanites. Worse, he had the son of Jehoiada, Zechariah, murdered for calling him out! As a consequence, God allowed Judah to be defeated by a relatively small army from the neighboring Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and Joash was assassinated in his bed by two of his servants. We also discuss the death of Elisha in the northern kingdom of Israel, and why King Joash (same name, different king) failed to completely defeat the Arameans.

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.

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.

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.

Grace & Truth: Worship the KingPastor Kent LandhuisTHEME - God reigns.TEXT - Psalm 931. Submit to the Great King. * Truth: God is King. * Grace: The King calls his people.2. Revere the Glorious King. * Truth: The King's people rebel. * Grace: The King protects his people.3. Trust the Good King. * Truth: The King has a plan. * Grace: The King leads his people.4. 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). Growth is a slow and steady process requiring nurture, cultivation, and patience. The soil of growth is life-on-life relationships in real-life situations, in real-time, with real people. 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.

Good King Josiah, one of Judah's most righteous rulers, exemplifies faith and reform throughout his life, as recorded in 2 Kings 22–23. Despite a lineage of wickedness, he ascended the throne at age eight and sought the Lord wholeheartedly, rediscovering the Book of the Law and implementing sweeping reforms. Josiah eradicated idolatry, renewed the covenant, and celebrated a historic Passover, reflecting his deep conviction and submission to Scripture. His story underscores timeless lessons on leadership, repentance, and the enduring sovereignty of God, even amidst personal and national challenges. ★ Support this podcast ★

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
