Podcasts about Great king

Continuing our studies in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said:“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matt 5:33-37)Would you say that you are a truthful person? Would you say you are an honest person? Most of us would agree that lies often have the potential to be destructive or hurtful and can easily break trust. In today's passage, Jesus is encouraging honesty. To lie for our own gain or to hurt another is clearly wrong. A person of integrity will be truthful. “I swear on my mother's grave!”, we have all heard people say. Or “On the life of my children, what I am telling you is true”.In Jesus' day, people would swear oaths in a similar way to emphasize that what they are saying is true. So, they might use the name of God. But, some leaders, lacking integrity, might swear an oath in the name of something less than God, like Heaven or the city of Jerusalem, or something created by God, if they planned on not quite speaking the truth.It might have sounded good and even convincing (for example, “I swear it's true on the name of our beautiful city Jerusalem”, or “this is as true as the hairs on my head”), but they may not be telling the whole truth.  So, what is Jesus teaching here? Jesus is teaching that “swearing” is not necessary if people know that you are a truthful person. A simple statement or answer to a question, like yes or no is enough. What about so called “white” lies – withholding truth because you don't want to hurt somebody? Do we say yes or no, tell it as it is, regardless of the effect the truth might have on a person. A good rule of thumb is to say that truth must always be balanced with genuine love. Paul encouraged us to speak the truth in love in Ephesians 4 v 15. If a truth will hurt another, perhaps we need to ask first if God's wisdom counsels us to stay quiet; or maybe we can find a way of sharing the truth in a way that is kind.  

Welcome to God’s Love for the Unlovable and Gospel Rant series and format, Vagabond Diaries. In the last Rant I shared something special and valuable to you in your Christian walk. I said that ever since the Fall, humanity, all sexes, races, all socioeconomic category, whether you’ve had an easy life or hard, each us is born with a deep relentless drive for one thing. It is how we are made. It is how God wired us. We each long for father. By this I am not referring to a a physical paterfamilias, rather that connection, that space, that feeling that you are in an embrace where you are cherished, appreciated, adored, where someone finds you lovable, lovely and loved, where you know, just know that someone has your back. Those connections are very hard to come by. Ultimately this longing for father can only be satisfied in the embrace of Jesus himself—ultimately in heaven. Truth is that he feels that toward you right now, but your midbrain has been so abused, terrorized and wiring fried by bad relationship after bad relationship, your defensive mechanisms wont let you feel it. So Paul says in Eph 3, you need to regularly access God’s power (that would be noticeable) through the Spirit in your inner being before you can even begin to hope to experience the vast love of Jesus that is already yours and is flooding over you like a tsunami. Doesn’t that make sense? So that is the core message in my new middle school fantasy, The Tale of the Orphan Magician. It is hard to count all of the actual or functional orphans in the book, including whole countries. Everyone and every institution is longing for father—including an entire continent. In the book, Amaratzim will become embroiled in an all-out world war, driven by father longing. What can happen? Will they ever feel it? And what is the Great King going to do? It is a book for young teens, but as with all good fantasy books, adults will greatly value from reading it. Today’s excerpt is from the storyteller dragon Rahgornah. He is telling the history of the Trollian war in the context of this lack of father longing. He seems to think that all wars and all conflicts are ultimately caused by that absence. If he’s right, that is an important messaging from we Christians. Here he is.

The topic of healing can include everything from the miraculous to unbelief, faith to curiosity, and overwhelming joy to deep disappointment. In this message, Pastor Holly takes us through many stories of Jesus healing, shares her own experiences seeing (and not seeing) healing miracles, and shows us that healing is always on God's heart and is meant to be a regular part of our lives. As followers of Jesus we are called to demonstrate the Kingdom of God here on Earth as it is in Heaven, so let us go, with humility and compassion, in the name of our Great King and Healer, and see healing in ourselves, our neighbors, and our world. 

In this episode, I dive into Psalm 48 as it talks about ‘The city of the great king'This is a Psalm where it talks about the Greatness of The Lord and how he guards over his holy city, Jerusalem.‘As we have heard, So we have seen. In the city of the Lord of hosts, In the city of our God; God will establish it FOREVER'.…

A @Christadelphians Video: *YouTube Video Title:* "[Why is Jerusalem Special?]

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. The Fulfillment of the Law 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Murder 21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,'[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. 23 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift. 25 “Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26 Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. Adultery 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.'[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Divorce 31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Oaths 33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.[g] Eye for Eye 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. Love for Enemies 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Tiny Faith in a Great King (Matthew 17:14-20) by Timberline Baptist Church

  In dealing with the issues of divorce and oaths, Jesus is giving us a deeper wisdom by which we can properly respect and value other people.Divorce31 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' n 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Oaths33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

The priests who were serving at the rebuilt Temple were not honoring God, therefore their sacrifices were not acceptable to God. We must learn the lesson is that since our lives are lived before the face of God and that all we do is be done to His glory, we need to have a higher view of His glory.

In the last episode of this series, we covered the rise of the Achaemenid Persian Empire under Cyrus the Great and its expansion into Anatolia and the eastern Aegean, including the predominantly Greek-speaking region of Ionia.  Though much of Ionia prospered under their new overlords, in 499 BC, the Ionians revolted with their help of their allies, including the city-states of Athens and Eritrea.  By 493 BC, what become known as the Ionian Revolt had been crushed, and order restored to the western fringes of the Persian Empire.  However, the empire's king, Darius I, vowed to punish Athens and Eretria for their involvement in the uprising. The Great King of Persia sent several of his most trusted commanders to subdue both city-states and any others who opposed him, resulting in the first major armed encounter in Europe between the Greeks and Persians on the plains of Marathon. Drawing on historical sources and the latest archaeological research, this series will explore everything from the causes of the conflict to its key figures, the various phases of leading up to this epic encounter and its aftermath.  Contents:00:00  Recap and Introduction01:45 The Northern Aegean Campaigns of Mardonius05:10 Looking to the West08:18 Athens and Eretria09:49 How many Men and Ships?14:30 Island Hopping Around the Aegean16:33 Euboea and Eretria 19:23 Onward to Athens22:21 Decisions27:07 War it is! 29:33 The Battle of Marathon35:44 Counting the Dead38:57 If not by Land, then by Sea!40:00 Aftermath of Marathon44:41 Thank You and PatronsSupport the show

In today’s passage the prophet exposes and addresses the peoples’ low estimation of God along with their general spiritual apathy and malaise. Join us as we reflect on the words of Malachi and ask ourselves, “How consequential is God to me?"

Matthew 5:33-37   Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made." But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply "Yes" or "No"; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Sermon Text: Isaiah 36:1-22Teacher: Al KenitzScripture Reading: Ephesians 6:10-20

Since ancient times, Christians have seen God's work of salvation as a mosaic. In isolation, our lives might look small, random, even broken. It's hard to make sense of things. But Jesus picks up broken people and broken lives and sets them into a work of God that is bigger and more beautiful than we can possibly imagine. In this message, Luke helps us see the bigger picture as Jesus encounters an outsider, a grieving widow, and a man on death row.

Alexander the Great - king of MacedoniaAlexander III of Macedon (Ancient Greek: Alexandros; 20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), most commonly known as Alexander the Great, was a king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. He succeeded his father Philip II to the throne in 336 BC at the age of 20 and spent most of his ruling years conducting a lengthy military campaign throughout Western Asia, Central Asia, parts of South Asia, and Egypt. By the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders We appreciate your support! Tune in for fresh episodes every week.

Lindsay is joined by author Judith Starkston to discuss her book, Priestess of Ishana. A curse, a conspiracy and the clash of kingdoms. A defiant priestess confronts her foes, armed only with ingenuity and forbidden magic.A malignant curse from the Underworld threatens Tesha's city with fiery devastation. The young priestess of Ishana, goddess of love and war, must overcome this demonic darkness. Charred remains of an enemy of the Hitolian Empire reveal both treason and evil magic. Into this crisis, King Hattu, the younger brother of the Great King, arrives to make offerings to the goddess Ishana, but he conceals his true mission in the city. As a connection sparks between King Hattu and Tesha, the Grand Votary accuses Hattu of murderous sorcery and jails him under penalty of death. Isolated in prison, Hattu's only hope lies in Tesha to uncover the conspiracy against him. Unfortunately, the Grand Votary is Tesha's father, a rash, unyielding man, and now her worst enemy. To help Hattu, she must risk destroying her own father.Step into this exotic world of historical fantasy, with its richly imagined details of the Bronze Age, evocative of the Near East. In a whirlpool of magic, politics, family crisis and love, Tesha pursues justice over the dark forces arrayed against her.

Early on she went so far as to get two degrees in Classics from the University of California, Santa Cruz and Cornell. She loves myths and telling stories. This has gradually gotten more and more out of hand. Her solution: to write fantasy set in the exotic worlds of the past. Fantasy and Magic in a Bronze Age World. Hand of Fire was a semi-finalist for the M.M. Bennett's Award for Historical Fiction. Priestess of Ishana won the San Diego State University Conference Choice Award. Judith has two grown children and lives in Arizona with her husband.
