Podcasts about Hebrews

On this episode, Paul White talks about why Jesus suffered outside the city gates. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 13:13. 

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. 1 Corinthians 2:6 - The Mind of Christ is in Me. Romans 8:16 – The Holy Spirit Testifies We are His. John 14:27 - Jesus Brings Me Peace. John 15:8 – I Produce Spiritual Fruit. Hebrews 4:15 – Jesus is My High Priest.

All Have Temptation, Which Is Not the Sin; But Jesus Followers Can Resist All Temptation Through Their Faith and Relationship with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: You will be tempted again and again, but the temptation itself is not the sin. The sin resides in your grabbing onto the temptation; dwelling on the temptation; and following through on the temptation. Jesus was tempted, and He {Jesus} always faced temptation by quoting scripture to the temptation source. As Jesus tells you about Temptation and sin in Matthew 18:7-8: “Woe to the world for temptations to sin! For it is necessary that temptations come, but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes! And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire.". From James 1:13, we know that God does not create the temptation we face: “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,' for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.". Since all are tempted, it is great to know, from 1 Corinthians 10:13, that Jesus Followers will not be tempted beyond their capability to resist the temptation and act on it through sinning: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." You can follow Jesus' example by using scripture to deal with a temptation – there is scripture to deal with every temptation that you may face.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose. From Romans 8:28 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 4:1-11; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 4:14-16; Psalms143:1-12; James 1:13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

There are seasons in life when we feel full—full of gratitude, strength, purpose, and blessing—and seasons when we feel painfully empty. In our daily prayer and devotional, Keri Eichberger reflects honestly on times when life seemed to drain every ounce of energy, joy, and margin she had. In moments like these, even thinking about blessing others can feel impossible. Yet God’s Word calls us to a beautiful truth: sharing is not about abundance—it’s about obedience.Scripture reminds us that even the smallest act of kindness is precious in God’s sight. Luke 21:1–4 records Jesus watching a poor widow give two tiny coins in the temple treasury. Though her gift was the smallest, Jesus declared it the greatest because she gave out of her need, trusting God with everything she had. This story reminds us that we never give “too little” when we offer what we have to God. Even if all we feel we can give is a gentle smile, a kind word, a short prayer, or a helping hand, God can take small offerings and multiply them into abundance. And as we share—even from places of weakness—we often find unexpected strength returning to our souls. When we bless others, God restores us.When we pour out, He fills us again.When we give a little, He turns it into more than enough. Whether you feel full or empty today, God invites you to share His blessings—especially the simple ones. Every act of generosity reflects His heart and brings Him great pleasure. Today's Bible Reading:“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16 Takeaway Truths God desires that we share His blessings—even when we feel we have little. The smallest acts of kindness can be the greatest offerings in God’s eyes. Giving refreshes the giver; God pours back what we pour out. True generosity flows not from abundance, but from trust. Let’s Pray Lord God, You are the one from whom all blessings flow. I confess that at times I can’t see all Your goodness under the shadow of life’s heaviness, and I struggle to share from what little I feel I have. But just as You delight in blessing me, You also desire that I bless others, even in small ways. Help me to become more aware of Your blessings. Give me courage to share what You’ve given—whether much or little. Thank You for the way You multiply every offering and for the fullness You return to my heart when I obey You. Turn my little into a lot, for Your glory and for the good of others. In Your praiseworthy name, Amen.

On this episode, Paul White talks about Jesus as blameless and spotless. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 13:11-12. 

Character is never built in a classroom. Character is built in the circumstances of life.  God builds character in our lives by allowing us to experience situations where we are tempted to do the exact opposite of the character quality. Character development always involves a choice. When we make the right choice, our character grows more like Christ.  Main Points:1. We don't know why tragic circumstances happen in our lives. We don't know why accidents happen. We don't know why people receive bad news from the doctor. Life and its difficulties comes to us all. Live long enough and you will experience suffering.2. God will use every circumstance of our lives to help us be more like Jesus. If you think back over your life you'll realize that you have grown through the things you suffered. 3. Christ-like character is the goal of the Christian life.  To settle for anything less is to miss the point of spiritual growth.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 43:2 - “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.”Hebrews 5:8  - “Even though Jesus was God's Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.”Romans 8:28 - “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:29 - “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”Ephesians 4:13 - We are to “become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

When the holy and most pure child Mary (Mariam or Miriam in Hebrew) reached the age of three, her parents, the righteous Joachim and Anna, fulfilled the vow they had made to dedicate her to God. Going in procession with a company of maidens carrying torches, they presented their child at the Temple in Jerusalem, where Zecharias the High Priest took her under his care, blessing her with these words: "The Lord has glorified thy name in every generation; it is in thee that He will reveal the Redemption that he has prepared for his people in the last days." He then brought the child into the Holy of Holies — something completely unheard-of, for under the Law only the High Priest was allowed to enter the Holy Place, and he only once a year on the Day of Atonement.   (In the icon of the feast, the maidens who accompany the Theotokos are shown bare-headed, as was customary for unmarried girls; but the Theotokos herself, though only three years old, wears the head-covering of a married woman to show her consecration to God.)   The holy Virgin lived in the Temple for the next nine years, devoting herself entirely to prayer. In this time she attained the utter purity of heart befitting the destined Bearer of the Most High; she became in her own person the fulfilment and condensation of all of Israel's faithfulness. Saint Gregory Palamas says that, when the Theotokos entered the Holy of Holies, the time of preparation and testing of the Old Covenant came to an end for Israel, which was now ready, in the blessed Virgin, to bring forth the Savior.   When Mary approached marriageable age, she was entrusted to the chaste widower Joseph to guard her. (The Prologue says that a life of intentional virginity was unknown among the Hebrews, so the righteous Joseph undertook the forms of marriage so as not to cause scandal among the people.)   "Wherefore the Church rejoices and exhorts all the friends of God for their part to enter into the temple of their heart, there to make ready for the coming of the Lord by silence and prayer, withdrawing from the pleasures and cares of this world." (Synaxarion)

Jeremy Lallier discusses Hebrews 13:1-2—“Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”

What if the most powerful thing you could bring to Thanksgiving this year wasn't your famous [insert random comfort food], but a grateful heart your kids can actually see? In this episode, Kent and Lawson help dads get super practical about gratitude, right in the middle of a noisy, entitled world. Using the word GRATEFUL as an acrostic, they walk through eight anchors for a dad's heart: Grace, Reflection, Appreciation, Thanksgiving, Empathy, Faith, Understanding, and Love. You will hear stories about tiny frogs in a muddy trail, anonymous generosity on YouTube, benefit dinners that do not go as planned, and friends who choose gratitude in the middle of crushing loss. Together, Kent and Lawson connect these real-life moments to Scripture and to simple ideas you can try with your own family this Thanksgiving. Whether you want a quick conversation starter around the table, a game to play with your kids, or just a reset for your own attitude before the holiday rush, this episode will help you trade comparison and entitlement for a grateful, open-handed way of living.   We'll also include the Scriptures we referenced below, in case you want to go back and study them for yourself.   G - Grace: "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." — John 1:16 (ESV) R - Reflection: "I will ponder all your work, and meditate on your mighty deeds." — Psalm 77:12 (ESV) A - Appreciation: "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV) T - Thanksgiving: "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" — Psalm 100:4 (ESV) E - Empathy: "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." — Romans 12:15 (ESV) F - Faith: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." — Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) U - Understanding: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." — Proverbs 3:5 (ESV) L - Love: "We love because he first loved us." — 1 John 4:19 (ESV)   We've launched video now!

The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry.

His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

Perhaps you know someone who will quickly “jump ship” should a challenge show up. Relationships get bumpy, and away they go. Pursuit of a career bogs down, and off they go in a different direction. What happens when that mindset shows up in the church? We'll explore that question today. Hebrews 12:18-29 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

There is a spiritual reality and an earthly reality. Spiritually I am graciously and mercifully forgiven forever, eternally cleansed from sin's stain. Physically, I am a wayfaring stranger continuing to make my way through this world of woe. A chapter-a-day podcast from Hebrews 10.

A single word carries urgent weight across centuries: today. Hebrews chapter 3 calls back to Psalm 95 and the turning point at Kadesh Barnea to expose how unbelief hardens even when people have seen God at work. We walk through that wilderness moment to uncover what it reveals about our own hearts, our habits, and our hope in Jesus. The warning is not abstract; it is pastoral and practical. Don't harden your heart. Don't drift from the person and work of Christ. Don't let the deceitfulness of sin rewrite the story of your life.The heart of the remedy is surprisingly ordinary: encourage one another day after day. We talk about the practical power of Christian fellowship—how stories, prayer, correction, and care soften our hearts and interrupt sin's lies. Isolation makes compromise easier; community makes hope believable. If you're feeling the pull to withdraw, this conversation offers a map back to tenderness, truth, and rest. Join us, and then reach out to someone who needs courage today.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so others can find the conversation.

Today we continue our series in Hebrews with pastor John Randall. And throughout this series we've observed that Jesus is better than anyone or anything. The author has already established that Jesus is better than the Old Testament, better than the angels, and Moses. Now today we see that He is better than any other high priest.

Verses 1-27 of Nehemiah 10 tell the names of those who signed the covenant. Verses 28-39 outline the responsibilities and obligations of the covenant. The first of the obligations was to not marry uncovenanted wives (i.e. those of different beliefs to those taught in His Law by the God of Israel).Responsibility 2 was to observe the Sabbath by preventing the buying and selling of goods. The third necessity was to pay their tithes and offerings for the house of God. And finally come together for the three principal feasts to rejoice in their God; and with those of like precious faith.Amos 2 commenced with judgments on Israel's neighbours for their sins and now from verses 6-16 the prophet states the sins for which Israel will be chastised. Firstly, those whose covetousness and callousness knows no limits; secondly, those whose uncontrolled sexual appetites were insatiable; thirdly, their boastfulness - the word Amorite comes from the Hebrew "amor" meaning mouth; fourthly, their corrupting of God's laws i.e. giving the Nazarites wine to drink. And so "as they had sown, so they would reap" and not be able to resist the severe coming judgment.1 Timothy 4 commences with signposts which mark out the coming departure from true teachings - 1) a belief in evil and deceitful spirits; 2) a celibate clergy forbidden marriage; 3) the refraining from eating certain foods e.g. meat on Fridays and during Lent leading up to Easter - all foods are for our eating as long as we have offered a prayer of thanksgiving before eating. In verses 6-10 we have the third faithful saying, "bodily exercise is of some value, but godliness (Greek "eusebia" - good, or well worship) is profitable in every way, benefiting present daily life, and offering the hope of eternal life in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ". It is essential that believers be reminded of the necessity to be pure in thought, word and action. Such diligence will save both the teacher and the hearer alike. In chapter 5 we are told the type of respect to be shown to elderly believers. Next follows instructions on the proper treatment of widows. It tells families to show their commitment and care for the widows before requesting aid from the ecclesia. However, widows whose faith and actions stand as a witness to their commitment to Christ Jesus and His Father should be supported in their needs. Older members of the flock of God who have diligently proclaimed the Word of God must be honoured (compare Hebrews 13verses7, 17). Those whose words and actions show a failure to continue in the beliefs and behaviour of the Truth are to be openly rebuked. Be careful in the choice of those commissioned to faithful service. Timothy should drink wine moderately for reasons of health. Sometimes the faithfulness of some believers is evident; and sometimes the wrongdoing of believers is seen. But not always. Beware of hypocrisy, but be assured it will be unmasked in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

The world will tell you to get all you can and store it for a rainy day. Every day people push you to work harder and harder. The ways of the world will lead you to believe that you have to look out for yourself and no one else. With each spent effort you begin to feel the pride of the world and start to lose sight of the blessings of God. Before you know it, you have overlooked God's hand in your life and have stolen His glory and placed it upon yourself as you claim to be in control of all that is in your life. As you take control of your life you quickly lose sight of the importance of others.

This Sunday is the Last Sunday of the Church year and focus our attention on Jesus' return and the eternal joy of heaven. Throughout Scripture, the Holy Spirit makes comparisons between the promised land of Israel or the city of Jerusalem with the promised land of Heaven. The Bible refers to the new heaven and earth as "the new Jerusalem" (Revelation 21:2). Many of our hymns pick up this comparison and use it to describe Heaven as well. This week we will be singing a hymn that does that, based primarily on the books of Hebrews and Revelation. This hymn, "Jerusalem, My Happy Home" (TLH 618), describes the longing of the Child of God to be delivered from this world of sin to the promised glories of heaven. The poet writes: "When shall my labors have an end? Thy joys when shall I see?" (verse 1). But the hymn writer goes on to describe what heaven will be like using the pictures given in Scripture: Gates of pearl, streets of gold, and heaven built walls (verse 2). And who will be there? The angels (verse 3), apostles, martyrs, prophets (verse 4), and our fellow saints in Christ will also be present (verses 4,6). John writes: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:1-6). This hymn has a very interesting history, possibly dating back to St. Augustine and the 4th century, and it still serves to encourage God's people still today.  Sing it with joy and expectation this weekend, and with confidence that Jesus has opened the narrow door for us by His life and death!

The guys reflect on how much their understanding of the kingdom has grown since the early days of the podcast and use John 19 to contrast the deadly misuse of law with the life-giving work of the Holy Spirit. Jase points out that the Jewish leaders tried to kill Jesus “by the book,” while never stopping to ask the only question that mattered: what if he really is the Son of God? The guys explore the danger of legalism, the difference between living like a slave under law versus a son filled with the Spirit.

Family and friendship are among God’s greatest gifts, yet they can also be some of life’s hardest places to navigate. Today's prayer and devotional from Alicia Searl reflects on a phrase her father often said: “You only get one dose of family.” Over time, grief and loss transformed those words into a deeper truth: “You only get one dose of family, so love them like it’s their last day.” As we enter the Thanksgiving season—a time that often highlights both joy and tension—Scripture calls us to something higher: “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone” (Hebrews 12:14). Peace in relationships doesn’t happen by accident. It requires humility, forgiveness, patience, and a grateful heart. Alicia reminds us that when we invite God into our relationships, He softens our hearts and restores what is broken. Through His Word, the Lord points us toward hope (Jeremiah 29:11), healing (Psalm 147:3), and restoration (1 John 4:20). This season, as you gather around tables and reunite with those you love, consider the sacredness of your time together. Psalm 90:12 urges us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom. Life is brief. Our relationships matter. And every moment of grace, peace, and patience reflects the heart of our relational God. Choose gratitude. Choose peace. Choose love—even when it’s difficult. God is honored in these choices, and He promises to work within them. Today's Bible Reading:“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14 Takeaway Truths God gives us the gift of family and friends for His divine purposes. Peace in relationships requires effort, prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Time with loved ones is sacred and fleeting—choose to use it well. Gratitude softens the heart and opens the door for healing and unity. Let’s Pray Faithful Father, we are so thankful that You give us the gift of family and precious friendships. As a relational God, we know that You command us to cherish and deepen these relationships by nourishing them with love and cultivating peace. Oh, but we need Your help, wisdom, and guidance. Please help us foster a heart of gratitude this beautiful season that softly calls us to see the many blessings You have so graciously provided. Allow us to show and give thanks to those You have so lovingly placed in our lives with our words, actions, and deeds. Grant us the means to be peacemakers and restore hope and healing to relationships that need Your hand of mercy. When various waves of emotions arrive, temper our thoughts, calm our hearts, and soothe our souls with Your Word of Truth. We want to live intentionally, honoring You with our time, because our days here on this side of eternity matter and hold a greater purpose. I am so very thankful that one day all will be restored, and I eagerly anticipate the glory that awaits us as we spend eternity with You, in peace, love, and divine unity. Thank You for that hope. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Pastor Micah Stephens powerfully unpacks Hebrews 11, the great “Hall of Faith,” showing that biblical faith is never blind but the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen. Walking through Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, and more, he reveals how every hero's story was always pointing to Jesus—the better sacrifice, the better ark, the author and finisher of our faith—calling us to run the race looking unto Him.Reference VersesHebrews 11 verses 1–3, 2 Timothy 1 verse 5, Romans 8 verse 26, Hebrews 11 verse 4-11, Hebrews 11 verses 17–40, Hebrews 12 verses 1–2Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings reflects on Scripture's warnings about hardened hearts and prays for a tender, pure heart that stays responsive to God, drawing on Psalm 95, Hebrews 3–4, and Ezekiel's promise of a heart of flesh.

On this episode, Paul White talks about the altar. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 13:10. 

Pastor Mike teaches on Hebrews 11:30-31 which highlights faith of the Israelites as they obey God's command to march around Jericho. God encourages us to trust in His plan even when we don't understand and even when it doesn't make sense. Rahab sees God's power and develops a personal relationship with Him, saving her faith saving her and her whole household.

Send us a textBetrayal hurts more when it happens in the trenches. We take a hard look at apostasy—not as a catchall insult, but as the sobering reality of switching sides—through the lenses of Hebrews 6 and 10, Judas and Demas, and the everyday choices that reveal whether we love Jesus or just the glow of Christian community. Along the way, we make crucial distinctions: grave sin versus walking away for good, rebellion versus unbelief, and orthodoxy versus the theological slide that denies core truths while trying to keep a Christian label.Together we name the counterfeit of transactional religion, where people leverage church for platform, comfort, or power and call it faith. We talk frankly about leaders who fall, how to respond without minimizing sin or baptizing despair, and why superficial assurance harms souls more than honest warnings ever will. You'll hear why perseverance is more than a doctrinal slogan, how self-examination protects against drift, and how God can use anyone without that use proving union with Christ.We also get practical for parents and pastors at home. Fathers shape identity; when a dad turns, families often follow. So we map out how to raise children toward regeneration: tell the truth, confront sin with mercy, invite real questions, and use great stories to train the conscience. Boys and girls often sin differently; wise coaching honors those differences while keeping the same gospel center—dying to self and rising with Christ.If you've been burned by a Judas or discouraged by a Demas, take heart. Expect betrayal without becoming bitter, cling to the real gospel, and keep walking.

Have you noticed that social media is flooded with messages that are meant to encourage you? One-sentence phrases that seem wise and insightful? Encouraging content is nice, but what does it really do for you? Maybe it makes you smile, or it helps you feel better in the moment. But it can also make you feel stuck; it doesn't contain the challenging truths that lead to real change. I want to share the most important truth with you right now, because it's the most loving thing I can do. Here it is: Jesus is real. He already knows you, and He loves you without reservation. But if you want to know Him, you need to make a choice. Offer your heart to God in prayer. Come to Him. Get to know Jesus, love Him, follow Him. Always remember, there is hope with God. "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise." Hebrews 10:23******** radio.hopewithgod.com

The personal letter of Paul to his son in the faith, Timothy, is written from Rome during the Apostle Paul's first imprisonment (during his house arrest of two years) between 61-63 AD. The standard greeting of the Greeks "charis" - "grace"; and of the Hebrews, "shalom" - "peace", or "wholeness"; begin the letter.Verses 3-11 warn against false teachers. The Apostle starts with genealogies because the false teachers were asserting to their hearers the importance which they placed on their own lineage. Law is a necessity for humans are, by weakness and choice, sinners. From verses 12-17 the Apostle Paul states the first of five faithful sayings, written in the pastoral letters of 1 and 2 Timothy; and Titus. The first of these sayings is that "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners". Paul acknowledges that he is one of the foremost in this category, because he persecuted believers. In verses 18-20 Timothy is entrusted with the "charge" - Greek "deposit" i.e. solemn responsibility) to oppose false teachers and their teachings. In chapter 2verses1-6 Timothy is told to pray for all people so that believers may be allowed to worship God in peace. Paul states that God is the Father alone. He further adds that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of the Father, whose offering of himself brings believers to God. From verses 8-15 there are explanations about the right way to worship God. These include sincere prayer from dedicated believers; modesty in all aspects of appearance - avoiding drawing attention to oneself in the wearing of jewellery and in the wearing of immodest clothing. The Apostle says that in the meetings of believers that sisters acknowledge their God appointed roles by the wearing of a head covering and by allowing the men to teach. Nonetheless the sisters bearing of children is fulfilling (if by circumstances they are able) a God given role. A sister, Mary, gave birth to our Saviour. In chapter 3verses1 the Apostle gives the second faithful saying, "those aspiring to guiding believers have chosen a noble path". Verses 2-7 speak of the qualifications for an overseer (bishop), or guide of believers. Verses 8-13 outline the requirements for deacons (assistant guides for believers). Verses 14-16 talk about God and contain the great truth of the gospel that Jesus Christ is the pillar and foundation of the temple of faithful believers. Christ has revealed to all believers the character and traits of our Sovereign Father. Pivotal to understanding the gospel is a grasp of the doctrine of God manifestation. God was revealed in Christ who has revealed the character and attributes of his Father. Having done that, the Father then welcomes His Son to join Him in heaven. It seems that the Apostle Paul's thoughts may be based on Daniel 6verses19-26. Read aloud, pause and ponder.

Hebrews 6:3 opens a doorway into one of the most fascinating questions of faith: What does God permit—and why? In this episode, we talk about the surprising goodness in God's permission. From growth and maturity to daily choices and opportunities, God is constantly allowing things that shape who we become. This is a hopeful, practical look at how God's “permission” is often His way of saying, “Go ahead. Grow. Step in. Live.”

Title: Rebuilding the Great CitySpeaker: Brian PenningtonDate: 25th June 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia This episode explores the message of Nehemiah, drawing out practical parallels between rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls and strengthening the church. It highlights how God uses ordinary people—families, tradesmen, and those with no experience—to build something lasting when their hearts are united in purpose. The episode emphasises that every contribution matters, whether seen or unseen, because the work belongs to the Lord. The talk also reflects on the foundations that keep the church strong: sound doctrine, spiritual diligence, personal growth, and a willingness to clear out what hinders progress. Using examples from Nehemiah, the Reformation, and the early church, the message encourages a renewed commitment to build, guard, and maintain what God has entrusted to His people. Key Takeaways Strengthening the church begins with unity, commitment, and a shared willingness to build. Foundational doctrines must be guarded, just as the gates of Jerusalem were protected. Personal growth requires clearing away spiritual “rubbish” and staying ready to build and defend. Reference Scriptures Isaiah 26:1–2 Nehemiah 1–6 Isaiah 59 Psalm 11:3 1 Corinthians 3 Acts 2 1 Samuel 30 Colossians 3:23–24 Hebrews 12:1–2 John 15 Psalm 23 Jude 23 Matthew 22 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

Jeremiah 23-26; Psalm 114; Proverbs 24:35·39; Hebrews 12:28-13:25

On this episode, Paul White talks about the sacrificial system and the priesthood. Accompanying scripture: Hebrews 13:9-10.

Desire is part of being human—but Psalm 73:25 reminds us that nothing on earth can satisfy us the way God does. When our plans stall, doors close, or God simply says “not yet,” it’s easy to feel the sting of disappointment. Yet in those very moments, He invites us to rediscover a deeper truth: He is enough. The longings we carry—relationships, opportunities, fulfillment—are not wrong, but they are never meant to replace the One who satisfies the soul. When we release our grip on what we think we need, we often discover that God has already given us everything essential for life, peace, and joy. Highlights Our desires are real, but they can quietly take priority over God without us realizing it. God’s “no” or “not yet” often shapes our character more than His “yes.” Seasons of lack can reveal how fully God satisfies the weary and longing heart (Psalm 107:9). Blessings are gifts, not guarantees—and never substitutes for intimacy with God. Contentment grows when we trust that God withholds nothing we truly need (Psalm 23:1). God is unchanging—faithful in abundance and faithful in scarcity (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8). Choosing gratitude over discontent quiets fear and centers our hearts on His goodness.

Full Transcript Below: God Is Everything We Truly Need By Hannah Benson Bible Reading: “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.” - Psalm 73:25 ESV. We know that truly, there is no one in heaven that we have but God Himself, and none on earth that we ought to desire besides Him, but that is SO much easier said than done. If you’re anything like me, then there are probably so many desires tucked away in the secret corners of your heart. Hopes and dreams that you treasure in your heart like Mary. What should we do when God says “no”? When God doesn’t give us everything we ask for? How can we truly say with a heart full of faith, “there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you,” when there are other things we want as well? Think about it. What is something you long for? Perhaps a child. A spouse. A new job. About a year ago, the Lord really impressed on my heart a time in my life where every “no” from Him meant to grow and cultivate me into His image felt like a devastating blow to my plans. During one of my moments of discontentment, the Lord whispered to my weary heart, “Am I enough for you?” His words, soft and gentle yet far from condescending, brought an instant prick of conviction to my heart. When did God stop being enough for me? Of course, I thought He was enough. If someone were to ask me if He were enough, I would’ve said yes and thought I was being honest. But when did I start putting things I wanted above God? When did I start seeing the glass as half-empty instead of counting my blessings? I remember moments in my life where there were things I deeply desired - and didn’t have. Friendships are an open door to serve in media ministry, among others. In those seasons of “lack”, God taught me that I really had everything I needed. I may have desired good things, and it didn’t mean God didn’t want to eventually bless me with those things. (After all, God loves to give good gifts to His children). But God wanted to show me that He was enough for my weary soul. I didn’t need a specific job or to serve on a particular project (although that would be nice). I didn’t need to have specific friendships (although I would appreciate them if the Lord chose to bless me with them). As much as I deeply desired those gifts, the truth is, I didn’t “need” any of it. Anything God chooses to bless me with is still His and is a gift. It’s not for my own selfish gain, either, but a tool to further His Kingdom for His glory. “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things” (Psalm 107:9 ESV). Intersecting Faith & Life: Dear friend, God will certainly bless you with good things. It may not look exactly like you’d thought, but it will be good. We are reassured that the Lord doesn’t change (Malachi 3:6) and again in Hebrews 13:8 (ESV) when the author writes to the Hebrews the promise that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” In our highest moments, when we’re successful, rich, and have everything we could ever want, God is good. But if God never changes, then the opposite is true, too. In our lowest moments, when we are barely making ends meet, and when we’re waiting for a miracle that we’re not even sure will come, God is still good. He loves us and will overflow our cup with His love, comfort, mercy, and grace, riches that far surpass any this world could give. I’ve been on both sides. There are times when I wrestle with a cup that feels as if it’s half-empty. I also know what it’s like to have that same glass overflowing with the love of the Lord. We can either choose to be discontented and experience growing dissatisfaction (and then nothing will ever satisfy, not even if we receive the very thing which we want). Or we can choose to trust that God has given us everything we need (2 Peter 1:3, Philippians 4:19, Psalm 23:1). It is in those moments I find my heart quiets, anxiety stills, and fear flees. And I come to realize that I’ll be okay even if I don’t get what I want because God will not withhold anything I need.

In this raw and urgent episode, Nancy confronts the powerful and often undetected beast of bitterness—and its grip on individuals, families, and even the Church. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the story of Esau, she exposes how bitterness doesn't just stem from trauma or pain but becomes a root system that feeds self-indulgence, victim mentalities, and spiritual stagnation. Nancy calls us to step out of the swirl, stop crawling into the belly of the beast with those we love, and instead take our place at the table of the Lord—where justice, identity, and restoration are found in Him alone. This is a sobering call to break free from the cycles of performance, creature worship, and resentment, and to choose your birthright in Christ over the bait of bitterness. Thanks for Listening!

In this engaging Ask Away #23 episode of the Everyday Judaism podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe fields practical kosher questions emphasizing accessibility for all levels of observance. Key topics include acquiring utensils from non-Jews: new metal items require Tevilah (immersion in a mikvah) but not Kashering if unused, while repaired vessels over 3–5 ounces need re-Tevilah only if significantly renewed. Countertops like granite are easily Kashered with boiling water, but manufactured stones (e.g., quartz/quartzite) may pose absorption issues—consult a rabbi before purchase. Porcelain sinks can't be Kashered, favoring stainless steel; Formica Kashers via hot water pour-over or steaming iron. Grills reaching 600°F self-Kasher through Libun Gamur (full incineration), and oven self-clean cycles achieve the same.Callers explore nuances like rust (clean for health, not halacha), small vessels (exempt from re-Tevilah if repaired minimally), and non-kosher materials (wood, plastic, silicone can't be Kashered—dedicate new ones to meat/dairy/parve). Mikvahs are pristine via advanced filtration, with separate pools for women, men, and utensils to maintain sanctity. Rabbi Wolbe shares anecdotes, like koshering a friend's grill covertly or his grandmother's accidental dairy-after-meat dessert, stressing mistakes are growth opportunities—inform hosts of your kitchen status to avoid issues.On broader themes, Rabbi Wolbe advises against expecting moral perfection from politicians; Jewish voting prioritizes safety for Jews here and in Israel, reevaluating per election without herd mentality. Torah leaders (e.g., Rebbe Aaron Leib Steinman) exemplify angelic character alongside wisdom. The episode promotes mikvah tours, supporting Jewish products when possible, and embracing ones personal spiritual journey without shame.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #73) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

The guys address Zohran Mamdani's rise and the broader embrace of democratic socialism, explaining why Christianity can't coexist with any system that replaces God with government. The guys contrast dead, man-made gods with the living God who creates new life and expands his kingdom through transformation rather than control. Jase shares what he believes is the greatest thing Charlie Kirk ever said and explains why it reminds Christians that they are Christ's ambassadors first and voters second. They also emphasize that Jesus is for everyone—not just one denomination—and that Scripture makes this unmistakably clear.
