In this episode we welcome Dr. Michael Morales—professor of biblical studies at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary—for a conversation exploring the profound theological vision of the book of Numbers. Drawing from his newly released two-volume commentary in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series, Dr. Morales unveils Numbers as more than ancient census lists and wilderness wanderings. Instead, it emerges as a richly textured narrative of covenant community, leadership, and the Lord's presence among his people. Listeners will discover how the structure of Israel's camp reflects Edenic hope and eschatological promise, how Numbers addresses the roles of prophet, priest, and king, and why the priestly blessing and Balaam's oracles form theological bookends to this journey toward the Promised Land. Dr. Morales also shares personal reflections from his ten-year labor on the commentary, emphasizing the pastoral power and redemptive-historical depth of this often-overlooked book. Whether you're a pastor, seminary student, or serious Bible reader, this conversation will reinvigorate your love for the Pentateuch and deepen your grasp of how all Scripture points us to Christ.

What is the most surprising thing? That Nineveh repented at Jonah’s message from God? Or, as we read in Jonah 4:1-4, that Jonah is angry that the message was heeded and God spared the people – after he was spared himself! Do we forget God’s promises? Are we surprised by God’s mercy? Do we doubt […]

Is your feelings, your opinions, your demands, and your wants, your top priority? When you make your comfort the most important thing in your life, you have declared who your god is. And it's no surprise that when life doesn't go according to your will, you start grumbling. On Sunday, May 18, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan delivers PART 3 of Blessing Blockers.

Israel's sin of Impatience and ingratitude brought judgment on his people, and teaches us a lesson for today. "Grumbling revealed hearts hardened by entitlement and forgetfulness."

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Opener• Review• 1 Peter 4:1-2 – The solution for suffering• Ceased from sin?• 1 Peter 4:3-4 – Why don't you live like the world?• The mind has to get involved • 1 Peter 4:5 – Those who are dead?• 1 Peter 4:8 – A whole lotta love• 1 Peter 4:9 – Grumbling• 1 Peter 4:10 – Serve one another • This will keep you out of the Kingdom• 1 Peter 4:11-12 – Fiery trials are to prove you • 1 Peter 4:13-14 – Rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Messiah • 1 Peter 4:17-18 – It's time for judgment to begin • Final wordsListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020.

Is complaining just venting—or is it silently reshaping your brain and relationships?
Philippians 2:14Far from being harmless, grumbling poisons not only our minds but influences those around us. And being a joy-stealer is something that none of us have a right to be.
Speaker: Kristian Hernandez Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-14
As an answer to prayer, unexpected funds from Alex’s insurance had already paid for his dental treatment. Now, another treatment was necessary. Where will I get the money for that? Alex grumbled. Resentful thoughts of heavy expenses filled his mind. At the time when a deposit to the dentist was due, however, a cash gift from a relative suddenly arrived. “I felt ashamed,” Alex said. “I’d already seen how God had provided for me with the insurance payment. I shouldn’t have grumbled but asked Him for help instead.” When the Israelites entered the Desert of Shur, they’d just experienced God’s deliverance at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:1-31). His miraculous help, however, now seemed forgotten as they grumbled over the absence of potable water in the desert (15:22-24). The Hebrew word for “grumbling” refers to rebellion against God. The resentful response of the Israelites was very different from Moses’, who asked God for help (v. 25). Later, God graciously provided water for His people (vv. 25-27). In times of need, we can avoid grumbling by asking God for help as Moses did. Whether His help comes in miraculous ways, practical provision, people’s assistance, or the strength to endure, we can trust that He hears us and cares for us.

As we continue through our list of sins, we decided to group some into categories--therefore, we will spend the next two episodes covering Sins of the Tongue, with today's half-hour focusing in on Grumbling, Complaining, and Gossip.As the people of God, we have always struggled with a lack of faith in our savior, discontent in his ways, and preference for their own designs over his. This is the classic "Israelite Attitude"... grumbling and complaining at the present struggles, "murmur[ing] in their tents" (Psalm 106:25), gossiping about others without regard to their status as children of God... and we are called against that behavior, to instead be "blameless and innocent," that we may "shine as lights in the world" in the midst of "a crooked and twisted generation" (Philippians 2:14-16).So join us today in the study of these foolish attitudes and how we can learn to turn away from the foolishness of darkened hearts (Romans 1:21) and to grow into trust of God's providence alone.Be sure to come back every Tuesday for new episodes and Thursday for bonus content, and find us on the following platforms as well:Find us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/oneanotherpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Find us on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@oneanotherpodcast?si=7-JJ9raR9Fr0cQ9bFind us on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/4RGIMhed26LZsl9TI56yPN?si=2924a1be839549b9Find us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-another/id1797190030
Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Wisdom for Work from PhilippiansDevotional: 2 of 4Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. (Philippians 2:14-15)Want to “shine among” the non-Christians you work with? Paul tells you how: “Do everything without grumbling or arguing.” Apparently, working without grumbling and complaining was as countercultural in Paul's day as it is in ours.C.S. Lewis once said that, “Hell begins with a grumbling mood.” The inverse is also true. People can get a whiff of heaven through the joyful mood of its citizens. Dr. Randy Alcorn goes so far as to say that, “Happiness in Christ is one of our most powerful evangelistic tools.”The question, of course, is how can we be joyful and work without grumbling when your co-worker replies all to yet another email or your boss makes an urgent request at 4:45 on a Friday? By focusing on what Christ has done for us.Just a few verses before today's passage, Paul writes about how Christ “humbled himself by becoming obedient to death” for you and me (see verse 8). “Therefore,” Paul says in verse 14, “do everything without grumbling or arguing.”The cross is the source of our joy amidst less than desirable circumstances. Once you focus on what Christ accomplished for you at Calvary, grumbling about the smell in the office refrigerator feels ridiculous. Tim Keller once compared it to being a “spiritual billionaire…wringing your hands over ten dollars.”Grumbling is so second nature we often don't notice we're doing it. Here are three simple ways to prevent, confess, and respond to complaining.First, prevent grumbling by writing Philippians 2:14-15 somewhere you'll see it while you work. On a post-it note, your phone background—wherever.Second, confess grumbling by creating a grumble jar. And every time you or someone on your team complains, drop in a dollar (or, if you're like me and never carry cash, an IOU to tally later). My family and I did this recently to break a different habit and it was shockingly effective. We were able to kick our habit in less than a month. Finally, respond to grumbling by expressing gratitude. Think back to the last thing you complained about and thank God for something related to that thing. For example, this morning I grumbled about the house being a mess. But I then said a quick prayer of gratitude that I have children to make said mess.Do whatever it takes to wrestle your grumbling to the ground, believer. Because as Dr. Alcorn put it, “Our happiness makes the gospel contagiously appealing; our unhappiness makes it alarmingly unattractive.”

Park Cities Presbyterian Church Men‘s Tuesday Morning Bible Study
March 4, 2025God's Grace in Our GrumblingPhilippians 2:14-18Robby HigginbottomTuesday AM Men's Bible StudySeries: Philippians - To Live is Christ
By Gary Beam - How often do we complain and grumble in this life that we're in? How serious is it to God when we too often spend too much time, wasting our time in complaining? Let us look into our lives and into His Word for a personal evaluation of this problem.
There are times, in all of our lives, when we're tempted to grumble and complain. These times can discourage ourselves and others. Today, we'll study Numbers 11 and see how the Children of Israel's grumbling brought discouragement to Moses and judgment upon themselves. DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. The podcast suggests that Numbers might be one of the hardest books of the Bible to read and understand. What books have you found difficult to work through? Why? 2. What does the people's complaints indicate about their trust in the Lord? How is this a break in their covenant with Him? 3. What was the primary complaint of this passage that was given in verses 4-6? 4. What does verse 10 indicate about the solidarity of the people in this grumbling? Does this unity in the midst of their grumbling prove that their grumbling was righteous? How do you know? 5. In verse 18, the Lord called the people to consecrate themselves to Him. According to Leviticus 1, how was a person consecrated to the Lord? What was the reason for this consecration? What did the need for this consecration indicate about their standing with the Lord? 6. What did the Lord tell Moses do in verses 16 to 17? What were these people for? How do you think they would have helped Moses bear the pressures of leadership? If you're in a position of leadership, how can you help the other leaders around you bear up under their burdens? 7. When the Lord provided quail in verse 31, how did the people respond in verse 32? What does their response indicate about who or what they were putting their trust in? 8. Although there is no indication that the people had obeyed God's command to consecrate themselves to Him (from verse 18), even if they had reconsecrated themselves to Him, how does their hoarding of the quail indicate that they weren't actually trusting Him? 9. As we consider all that we've been reading about the Children of Israel, how were these people falling into a pattern of complaining? How was this affecting their own well-being? Their relationship with the Lord? Their relationships with one another? Their relationship with the leadership? 10. What was the ultimate outcome of their complaining? Was it a righteous outcome? 11. The podcast pointed out that in verse 21, Moses refers to 600,000 people, but we know from Numberers 1:46 that the number was actually 603,550. The podcast explained some principles regarding the Bible's use of round and specific numbers? What principles were given? How does this help us understand these differences? 12. In this passage, Moses clearly was discouraged. How did he handle his discouragement in this passage? How should he have handled it? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

A Grumbling Grumble, James 5:9, with Pete Chiofalo by Keller, Texas
While there were grave consequences to Israel's complaining, God demonstrated amazing grace toward His people.
Have you ever wondered how you can "come to Jesus," when you are living in the 21 century, and He is seated in heaven? Jesus said "come to me," but he spoke those words on a hillside in Israel more than 2,000 years ago. How do I come to him today?On today's episode of the Live Like It's True podcast, Shannon is joined by Felicity Carswell and Sarah Dargue, from the "Two Sisters and a Cup of Tea" podcast, to discuss the answers to these questions, as well as how we can apply the answers to our daily lives.
