Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 31 Mei 2026Bacaan: Sungguh, alangkah baiknya dan Indahnya, apabila saudara-saudara diam bersama dengan rukun!" (Mazmur 133:1)Renungan: Kita sering mendengar kesaksian bahwa keluarga yang hidupnya rukun, senantiasa dilimpahi berkat Tuhan. Berkebalikan dengan keluarga yang sering berantem, itu jauh dari berkat-Nya. Hal ini juga bisa terjadi dalam perusahaan. Perusahaan yang seluruh karyawannya bisa tinggal bersama dengan rukun dan satu sama lain bisa menjalin kerjasama dengan baik, akan punya peluang untuk bertumbuh sehat dan berhasil. Kebalikan dengan perusahaan yang karyawannya sering demo, bikin onar, satu sama lain saling menjegal, perusahaan sulit untuk bisa bertumbuh dan berkembang. Pemazmur memberikan kesaksian bahwa keluarga yang tinggal bersama dengan rukun senantiasa berkelimpahan berkat. "Sungguh, alangkah baiknya dan indahnya, apabila saudara-saudara diam bersama dengan rukun!" Pemazmur mengatakan hal ini karena di mana kita dapat tinggal bersama dengan rukun, Tuhan memerintahkan berkat dan kehidupan untuk selama-lamanya (ay. 3). Rukun disini digambarkan seperti minyak yang baik di atas kepala meleleh ke janggut dan ke leher jubah. Juga seperti embun gunung Hermon yang turun ke atas gunung-gunung Sion. Artinya, ada pemerataan. Minyak yang baik tidak hanya ditampung di kepala saja, tetapi turun ke janggut dan leher jubah. Demikian juga embun yang adalah lambang kesuburan tidak ditampung oleh gunung Hermon yang besar saja, tetapi dibagi turun ke gunung-gunung yang kecil juga, yakni Sion. Apakah kita sebagai anggota masyarakat sudah diam bersama dengan rukun satu sama lain, atau sebaliknya? Meresponi firman Tuhan, marilah kita senantiasa mengusahakan hidup bersama dengan rukun, baik kita sebagai anggota keluarga, karyawan, maupun anggota masyarakat lainnya. Dengan demikian, janji Tuhan akan digenapi-Nya, "kesanalah berkat-berkat Tuhan dicurahkan." Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, berikanlah aku hati yang penuh dengan damai sejahtera, sehingga aku dapat membina hubungan yang baik dengan orang-orang di sekitarku. Amin. (Dod).

The Song of Degrees, also known as the Songs of Ascents, refers to a collection of fifteen psalms (Psalms 120-134) in the Book of Psalms, traditionally sung by worshippers as they ascended to Jerusalem for pilgrimage festivals. These psalms express themes of hope, joy, and the journey towards spiritual elevation.PSALM 128.A Song of degrees.  1 Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. 2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. 4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. 5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. PSALM 133.A Song of degrees of David.  1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. PSALM 137.  1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land? 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning...Song: Ain't No Grave Gon'a Hold My Body Down.

Song of Songs 4:1-16 NIVHow beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana, from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions' dens and the mountain haunts of leopards. You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume more than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain. Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nardnard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon. Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.

Damaszek bywa nazywany jednym z najstarszych stale zamieszkanych miast świata. Ludzie mieszkali tu od tysięcy lat, a samo miasto pojawia się w źródłach starożytnych wcześniej niż Rzym, Londyn czy Paryż. Znajduje się na północny wschód od góry Hermon. Na wschód od Damaszku znajduje się Pustynia Syryjska, ale samo miasto znajduje się nad rzeką Barada, w starożytności nazywaną Abana. W 2 Królewskiej 5:12 znajdujemy słowa Namana Syryjczyka: “Czy rzeki damasceńskie Abana i Parpar nie są lepsze od wszystkich wód izraelskich?”. Ta rzeka tworzy oazę, która stała się początkiem tego miasta. Tędy przechodziły starożytne szlaki kupieckie.Józef Flawiusz twierdził, że Damaszek założył wnuk Sema. W Rodzaju 10:22 czytamy: “Synami Sema są: Elam, Assur, Arpachszad, Lud i Aram”. Abraham wywodził się od Arpachszada, a Syryjczycy mieli się wywodzić od Arama. W oryginale hebrajskim gdy mowa jest o Syrii używa się słowa Aram. Tak jak Etiopię nazywa się Kusz, tak właśnie Syrię w tamtych czasach określano jako Aram. Ja będę korzystał z przekładu Biblii Warszawskiej gdzie pozostawiono słowo Aram i Aramejczycy, ale w wielu Bibliach przetłumaczono to na Syrię i Syryjczyków. Aram to słowo hebrajskie, ale Grecy używali nazwy Syria. Prawdopodobnie dlatego, że był to skrót od słowa Asyria. Ja muszę powiedzieć, że mi się kiedyś myliły Syria z Asyrią.Prawdopodobnie przez Damaszek przechodził Abram. W Rodzaju 15:2 czytamy: “Wtedy Abram odpowiedział: Panie Boże, cóż mi możesz dać, gdy ja schodzę bezdzietny, a dziedzicem domu mego będzie Eliezer z Damaszku”. Słowa te wypowiada bezdzietny jeszcze wtedy Abram. Według ówczesnego zwyczaju miał po nim dziedziczyć sługa czyli wymieniony Eliezer z Damaszku. Wygląda na to, że Abraham przechodził przez Damaszek i tam dołączył do niego ten sługa. Abram znalazł się tam ponownie gdy odbijał swojego bratanka Lota. W Rodzaju 14:15 “Potem podzieliwszy swój oddział, napadł na nich w nocy ze sługami swymi, pobił ich i ścigał aż do Choby, na północ od Damaszku”. Być może skorzystał wtedy z wiedzy Eliezera, który wychował się w tych stronach.W czasach Dawida Damaszek był stolicą jednego z syryjskich królestw. W 2 Samuela 8:5 czytamy: “Gdy zaś nadciągnęli Aramejczycy damasceńscy na pomoc Hadadezerowi, królowi Soby, Dawid pobił z Aramejczyków dwadzieścia dwa tysiące wojowników”. Aramejczycy damasceńscy to Syryjczycy z Damaszku. Dawid podporządkował sobie Damaszek, ale sytuacja zmieniła się za rządów Salomona. W 1 Królewskiej 11:24 czytamy o Rezonie: “Zebrał on wokoło siebie wojowników i został wodzem bandy. Gdy Dawid ich pobił, udali się do Damaszku i tam się osiedlili, i uczynili go królem nad Damaszkiem”. Był on przeciwnikiem Izraela w czasach Salomona.Kolejny król Damaszku pojawia się w czasach dwóch królestw. Ben-Hadad miał sojusz z królem Izraela Baszą, ale król Judy Asa posłał mu srebro i złoto. W 2 Kronik 16:4 czytamy: “Ben-Hadad przychylił się do prośby króla Asy i wyprawił swoich dowódców przeciwko miastom izraelskim”. Jest to pierwszy z trzech królów o tym imieniu. Hadad to bóg burzy jak kananejski Baal. Ben jak pewnie wiecie znaczy syn. W ten sposób władcy sugerowali boskie pochodzenie lub chociaż boską opiekę.Ben-Hadad II wielokrotnie próbował podbić Izrael. Na koniec dostał się do niewoli. W 1 Królewskiej 20:34 zapisano słowa Ben-Hadada oraz Achaba, czytamy tam: “Ten zaś rzekł do niego: Miasta, które zabrał mój ojciec twojemu ojcu, zwrócę, ty zaś możesz sobie w Damaszku urządzić bazary, jak mój ojciec urządził sobie w Samarii. Ja zaś - rzekł Achab - wypuszczę cię na wolność jako mojego sprzymierzeńca. I zawarł z nim przymierze, i wypuścił go wolno”. To, że Ben-Hadad II wspomniał swojego ojca, który żył równolegle z ojcem Achaba przyjmuje się za dowód, że nie jest on tym samym królem Damaszku wspomnianym w czasach Asy, choć teoretycznie było to możliwe.Prorok przepowiedział, że Achab umrze ponieważ wypuścił Ben-Hadada II. Gdy później doszło do kolejnej bitwy właśnie łucznicy tego syryjskiego króla zabili Achaba. Później Elizeusz przebywał w Damaszku. Ben-Hadad II był chory i wysłał swego sługę aby zapytał proroka o to czy wyzdrowieje. W 2 Królewskiej 8:10 czytamy: “Elizeusz rzekł do niego: Idź i powiedz mu: Na pewno wyzdrowiejesz, chociaż Pan mi objawił, że na pewno umrze”. Niektórzy bibliści sugerują, że chodzi tutaj o grę słów. Król miał wyzdrowieć ale i tak umrzeć, ale nie z powodu choroby. Ten sługa przekazał królowi tylko pierwszą część mówiąc: “na pewno wyzdrowiejesz”.W 2 Królewskiej 8:15 czytamy: “Lecz następnego dnia wziął Chazael derkę, zamoczył ją w wodzie i narzucił ją na jego twarz tak, że umarł. Potem Chazael objął po nim władzę królewską”. Był to przykład samospełniającego się proroctwa. Wykorzystał to później Szekspir w Makbecie. Chazael miał syna, któremu też nadał imię Ben-Hadad, historycy dają mu numer III. Być może Chazael po zabiciu Ben-Hadada II ożenił się z jego córką i w ten sposób jego syn Ben-Hadad III miał w żyłach krew poprzedniej dynastii do czego nawiązuje to imię. Ale to tylko moje przypuszczenia.Chazael gnębił zarówno Izrael jak i Judę. Przypisuje mu się stellę z Tel Dan. Mowa tam o pokonaniu “domu Dawida”. Zdobył też filistyńskie miasto Gat. Jego syn Ben-Hadad III też tego próbował, ale ostatecznie został pokonany przez Izrael. W 2 Królewskiej 14:28 czytamy: “Pozostałe zaś sprawy Jeroboama i wszystko, czego dokonał, i jego potęga, z jaką prowadził wojny i jak przywrócił Izraelowi Damaszek i Chamat, które należały do Judy, opisane jest w Księdze Dziejów Królów Izraelskich”. Przez “przywrócenie Izraelowi Damaszku” należy chyba rozumieć, że to miasto płaciło Izraelowi haracz czy daninę tak jak to było w czasach Salomona.Kolejny król Damaszku jest wspomniany w czasach króla Judy Achaza. W Izajasza 7:8 czytamy: “Gdyż stolicą Aramu jest Damaszek, a głową Damaszku jest Resyn”. Ten król Damaszku Recyn (lub Resyn) wraz z Królem Izraela Pekachem postanowili pozbawić korony linię Dawida w Judzie i ustanowić królem syna Tabala (Izajasza 7:6). Achaz poprosił wtedy o pomoc Asyrię. Król asyryjski Tiglat-Pileser III zdobył Damaszek. Przybył tam do niego Achaz i skopiował jego bożki. Podobne kazał wykonać w Jerozolimie. Tak więc Damaszek upadł, ale jego religia przetrwała, przynajmniej za panowania Achaza, bo jego syn przywrócił później religię mojżeszową.Po Syryjczykach z Damaszku pozostało jednak coś ważniejszego i bardziej długotrwałego. Prawdopodobnie wiecie, że kiedyś międzynarodowym językiem była łacina czyli język Rzymian. Wcześniej była to greka koine, a jeszcze wcześniej właśnie język aramejski zapewne dialekt z Damaszku. Według niektórych językoznawców aramejskim posługiwał się również Jezus. Ślady tego odnajdujemy w samej Ewangelii - to aramejskie słowa takie jak Abba (Ojcze), Kefas (Skała - imię Piotra) czy zawołanie Talitha kum. Jezus przynajmniej raz rozmawiał z Syryjką. Miałoby to sens gdyby rozmawiali po aramejsku. Jeżeli to prawda Jezus używał by aramejskiego który był lingua franca. Jego uczniowie używali greckiego, a kolejne pokolenia chrześcijan przeszły na łacinę.Póżniej Damaszek zdobywali Babilończycy, Persowie, a na koniec Grecy. Po śmierci Aleksandra Wielkiego, Seleukos I Nikator, który rządził Syrią przeniósł stolicę do Antiochii. Damaszek stracił wtedy na ważności. Po Grekach przyszli Rzymianie w osobie Pompejusza Wielkiego. Zdobył on Damaszek, który stał się jednym z miast Dekapolu wspominanego w Ewangeliach. Np. w Marka 7:31 czytamy o Jezusie: “wyszedł z okolic Tyru, przyszedł przez Sydon nad Morze Galilejskie środkiem ziemi Dziesięciogrodzia”. Dekapol to z greckiego 10 polis czyli 10 miast, co oddano jako “Dziesięciogrodzie”. Niektórzy historycy twierdzą, że władza Heroda Wielkiego rozciągała się aż po Damaszek.Do Damaszku przybył Saul, który później zmienił imię i stał się znany jako apostoł Paweł. W Dziejach 9:11 czytamy polecenie Jezusa do jednego z chrześcijan: “Wstań i idź na ulicę Prostą, i zapytaj w domu Judy o Saula z Tarsu”. Ta ulica istnieje do dzisiaj. Po łacinie nazywała się Via Recta. Ostatecznie Paweł musiał stamtąd uciekać. W 2 Koryntian 11:32 czytamy: “Namiestnik króla Aretasa w Damaszku otoczył strażą miasto Damasceńczyków, aby mnie pojmać”. Jak mówią Dzieje Apostolskie 9:25 zostal spuszczony w koszu z murów Damaszku. Okno w murze z czasów rzymskich jest pokazywane dziś turystom jako to przez które spuszczano Saula w koszu.Król Aretas wspomniany przez Pawła to dobrze znany historykom Aretas IV, władca Nabatei ze stolicą w Petrze. Zachowały się jego monety, inskrypcje oraz opis wojny z Herodem u Józefa Flawiusza. Wzmianka Pawła sugeruje, że pod koniec życia Aretas miał wpływy także w Damaszku. Sam król Nabatejczyków miał swoją stolicę w Petrze, ale według 2 Koryntian w Damaszku był jego namiestnik. To pozwala nam datować wydarzenia z życia apostoła Pawła. Ponieważ Aretas umarł około 40 roku n.e. ucieczka Pawła z Damaszku musiała nastąpić wcześniej, być może w 39 roku.Czy rzeki damasceńskie Abana i Parpar nie są lepsze od wszystkich wód izraelskich? Czy nie mogłem w nich się obmyć i oczyścić? Potem odwrócił się i odszedł pałając gniewem.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Krolewska/5/12Synami Sema są: Elam, Assur, Arpachszad, Lud i Aram.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/10/22Wtedy Abram odpowiedział: Panie Boże, cóż mi możesz dać, gdy ja schodzę bezdzietny, a dziedzicem domu mego będzie Eliezer z Damaszku.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/15/2Potem podzieliwszy swój oddział, napadł na nich w nocy ze sługami swymi, pobił ich i ścigał aż do Choby, na północ od Damaszku https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/14/15

In seiner Predigt zum Palmsonntag und zum 24. Gemeindegeburtstag am 29. März 2026 spricht Alexander Hirsch über Psalm 133 und die Schönheit einer Gemeinde, die in versöhnten Beziehungen lebt. Dabei wird deutlich: Christliche Gemeinschaft ist mehr als unverbindliche Begegnung – sie lebt von Commitment, gemeinsamer Ausrichtung auf Christus und der Bereitschaft zur Versöhnung. Was die Bilder von kostbarem Salböl und dem Tau des Hermon damit zu tun haben und warum gerade darin ein Schlüssel für geistliche Erneuerung liegen könnte, deutet diese Predigt entlang biblischer Linien und persönlicher Erfahrungen an. Am Ende steht eine starke Verheißung: Wo Menschen in versöhnten Beziehungen leben, dort verheißt Gott nicht nur seinen Segen – er befiehlt ihn sogar. (45 Minuten) Foto von Andrew Seaman auf Unsplash

"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." Psalm 133:1-3"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller. Like a bundle of sticks, each of us brings unique strengths to the community. When woven together, we create an unbreakable force that supports one another through life's journey. As we celebrate our diversity, let us remember the early Church in Acts 2:42-47, who shared everything in love and unity. Their example teaches us that together, we can reach farther and do more than we ever could alone.Psalm 133:1-3 reminds us that “how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!” Our collective strength lies not in our similarities but in our differences. Much like a tapestry, each thread contributes its color and texture, weaving a beautiful story of community. In John 17:21, Jesus prayed for unity among His followers, showing us that harmony is essential for spiritual growth and purpose.1 Corinthians 1:10 says, "I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be united in mind and conviction."In Ephesians 4:3, we are called to “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” This commitment to maintaining our connections enhances our collective resilience and enriches our outreach efforts. Organizing collaborative projects magnifies our impact, demonstrating that love knows no boundaries. It's in our shared commitments that we find strength.“Unity doesn't mean uniformity,” as Rick Warren wisely noted. Instead, it celebrates our diverse backgrounds while fostering a sense of belonging for everyone. Let us embrace our differences and create a community that mirrors the beauty of God's creation. As we work hand in hand, remember: “Together we triumph.” Amen. Romans 12:16 says, "Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight." Amen.Prayer for the day! Heavenly Father, we thank You for the beautiful diversity within our community. Heal any divisions we may face and strengthen our bonds, so we may glorify You in all we do. May we always celebrate our unity and lift one another up as we pursue Your purpose. In Jesus name. Amen.https://maglife.org

These seven holy Bishops give a vivid picture of the dangers endured by those who traveled to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in the early centuries of the Church. All seven were sent as missionary bishops to Cherson on the Black Sea, and all seven died there as Martyrs. Hermon, Bishop of Jerusalem, first sent Ephraim and Basileus; Basileus raised the son of the prince of Cherson to life, after which many believed and were baptized. The unbelievers, though, bound him by the feet and dragged him through the streets until he died. Ephraim was beheaded when he refused to make sacrifice to the idols. Eugenios, Agathodoros, and Elpidios were then sent by the Bishop of Jerusalem; they were beaten to death with rods and stones. Aetherius was sent during the reign of Constantine the Great, and was able to govern the Church in freedom and peace, and to build a church in Cherson. Capito, the last to be sent, brought the Gospel to the fierce Scythians. To prove the power of his God, they asked him to go into a burning furnace, saying that if he was not consumed, they would believe. Putting all his trust in God, the holy Bishop vested himself, made the sign of the Cross, and entered the furnace. He stood in the flames, fervently praying, for an hour, and came out untouched. The spectators cried out 'There is one God, the great and powerful God of the Christians, who keeps His servant safe in the burning furnace!', and all those in the town and the surrounding countryside were baptized. This miracle was spoken of at the Council of Nicea (325). Later, Scythian unbelievers captured Capito and drowned him in the River Dnieper.   The Prologue says that Aetherios ended his life in peace; the Great Horologion, that he was drowned. All these holy missionaries labored around the beginning of the fourth century.

Psalm 133: The Beauty and Blessing of Biblical UnityWalking Through the Psalms • Dave Jenkins • March 6, 2026Show SummaryIn this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins teaches throughPsalm 133—one of the shortest yet most profound Songs of Ascents.Sung by pilgrims traveling together toward Jerusalem, this psalm celebrates something precious:the unity of the people of God.Psalm 133 reminds us that true unity is not manufactured by human effort. It is a gracious gift from God,rooted in His Word, grounded in covenant identity, and fulfilled ultimately in union with Christ.Listen to the EpisodeWatch the EpisodeScripturePsalm 133 (ESV)Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard,on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes!It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion!For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.Episode NotesThe Beauty of Unity (Psalm 133:1)Psalm 133 begins with a call to attention: “Behold.” Unity among God's people is described asgood (morally beautiful before God) and pleasant (experientially sweet and joyful).This is not shallow harmony—it is covenant faithfulness expressed in community.Biblical unity is not unity at the expense of truth. It is unity grounded in the truth of God's Word,shaped by the person and work of Christ.Unity Is Sacred and Consecrated (Psalm 133:2)The psalm compares unity to the anointing oil poured on Aaron—imagery that is priestly and holy.As the oil ran from head to beard to robes, it pictured consecration for sacred service.In the same way, unity among God's people is not merely relational—it is holy.This is not a call for unity that compromises doctrine. The unity of Psalm 133 is rooted in the truththat reveals God's character and Christ's saving work.Unity Is Life-Giving (Psalm 133:3)Unity is also compared to the dew of Hermon—refreshing, sustaining, and life-giving in a dry land.Division dries up joy in the church, drains vitality, and suffocates spiritual health.But where God's people dwell together in covenant faithfulness, the Lord commands blessing.Christian unity is not rooted in personality, preference, or politics. It flows from covenant identity—and under the New Covenant, from our union with Christ who reconciles sinners to God and to one another.Key ScripturesPsalm 133John 17:17Ephesians 4:1–6Ephesians 2:13–16TakeawaysUnity is a gift from God—good, pleasant, and worth protecting.True unity reflects God's character among His people.Unity is spiritually life-giving and blessed by the Lord.Unity is grounded in truth and secured in Christ.Call to ActionIf this episode encouraged you, please consider subscribing on YouTube, sharing it with a friend, and leaving a review wherever you listen to podcasts.For more from our Psalm series please visit here or on our YouTube channel.

In this verse-by-verse Expository Bible study, Dave Bigler (at his home church of Adirondack Christian Fellowship) explores the powerful narrative of the Transfiguration of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 16.28–17.13. By comparing the synoptic gospels—including the accounts in Mark 9 and Luke 9— Dave provides a comprehensive look at this pivotal moment on the "sacred mountain," likely Mount Hermon. The teaching examines the symbolic appearance of Moses and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets, and the divine declaration from God the Father that solidifies Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfillment of the Old Testament.Beyond historical context, this Bible teaching offers practical spiritual applications for modern believers, focusing on the supremacy of Christ and the necessity of a disciplined prayer life. Dave breaks down the inductive Bible study method—observation, interpretation, and application—to help viewers recognize Jesus' voice in their own lives. Whether you are studying the Gospel of Matthew, interested in the connection between John the Baptist and Elijah, or looking for peace through spiritual retreat, this teaching provides essential insights into the glory of Jesus Christ and His role as our Savior.Adirondack Christian Fellowship:https://acfsaratoga.org/Outline:00:00 - Introduction Welcome and opening remarks.00:26 - Scripture Overview Introducing the primary text: Matthew 16.28 – 17.13.01:07 - Reading of Matthew 16.28 - 17.13.03:47 - The Value of Four Gospels Discussion on why we have different perspectives on the same events.09:39 - Verse Breakdown: The Promise of the Kingdom Analyzing the connection between Jesus' promise and the event of the Transfiguration.11:51 - Verse Breakdown: The High Mountain Exploring the geography of the Transfiguration (Mt.

In this episode of Best in Fest, host Leslie LaPage sits down with Sandhya Hermon — an award-winning screenwriter and former research psychologist — to explore how a second career in storytelling can emerge from lived experience, global identity, and persistence.Sandhya shares her journey from earning a doctorate in psychology to pursuing an MFA in screenwriting at UT Austin, and how her scripts have gone on to place at top competitions including Austin Film Festival, PAGE Awards, BlueCat, Nichols Fellowship, and more.In this episode, we explore:

Pdt. Wigand Sugandi (TB) Mazmur 133: 1-3Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Sungguh, alangkah baiknya dan indahnya, apabila saudara-saudara diam bersama dengan rukun! Seperti minyak yang baik di atas kepala meleleh ke janggut, yang meleleh ke janggut Harun dan ke leher jubahnya. Seperti embun gunung Hermon yang turun ke atas gunung-gunung Sion. Sebab ke sanalah TUHAN memerintahkan berkat, kehidupan untuk selama-lamanya.

In this sermon, we are reminded that our journey of faith is marked by continual awakenings and necessary confrontations, just as the ancient paths of Israel reveal. Our identity and convictions are forged through facing both external adversaries and internal temptations, echoing Abraham’s unwavering faith at Tel Dan and Jesus’ victory at the gates of Caesarea Philippi. As we stand on the eternal path, we are called to consult what God has already revealed, trusting that each confrontation—whether against overwhelming odds or subtle compromise—deepens our resolve and leads us closer to the fullness of God’s promises. The heart of the message is that our victories, like those of our spiritual ancestors, are assured when we embrace the faith of Abraham, reject compromise, and march confidently toward every challenge, knowing that Adonai guides us and that the gates of hell will not prevail against us.

PSALM 42-43 For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah. 1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and 6 my God from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon - from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of the waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. 8 By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is within me - a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?" 10 My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. 1 Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; rescue me from deceitful and wicked men. 2 You are God my stronghold, why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy? 3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your mountain, to the place where you dwell. 4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God. 5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES We were created with a deep need to belong. Being made in the image of a relational God means we are wired for connection with Him and with one another. To be seen is a sacred longing. The psalmist's cry—“When can I go and be seen by God?”—reveals a soul aching for God's attentive presence. Spiritual thirst is often painful, not pleasant. God's presence is not distant or indifferent. Repeatedly, Scripture reminds us that God sees His people. In Christ and through the Spirit, God says again and again, “I see you, and I am with you.” We were made to be fully known and truly loved. The loss the psalmist feels is not just about place, but about people—being known in the worshiping community. True belonging reflects God's love: knowing us completely and loving us faithfully. The cross is the ultimate invitation to belong. At the cross, exclusion ends. Jesus' outstretched arms declare that no one is too far away, too broken, or too unworthy to belong to the family of God. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Have you ever felt “unseen” by God? The psalmist longs to be seen by God. Have you experienced a season of longing and thirsting to be seen by God? 2. Who knows you well outside of your immediate family—and chooses to love you anyway? If that list feels short, what might be holding you back from deeper relationships? 3. How can our church fight loneliness intentionally? The sermon highlighted loneliness as a public health crisis. What are practical ways our church or small group can become a place where people are fully known and truly loved? 4. How does the cross redefine belonging for you? If the cross is the ultimate symbol of belonging, how should that shape the way we see ourselves—and the way we welcome others who feel excluded or overlooked?

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, Luca Servodio is joined by food reporter Karen Palmer to break down the viral LA dining discourse sparked by Kerry Rose Schwartz (@comfywithkerry) and her claim that “LA fine dining is a scam.”We dig into why Kerry's videos exploded, the pushback from chefs like Jeremy Fox, and what the backlash reveals about hype culture, pricing, influencer power, and the widening expectation gap facing Los Angeles restaurants. Is this a needed reality check for diners—or damaging rhetoric during a brutal moment for the industry?Karen also shares where she's been eating lately, including Broken Spanish Comedor, a return visit to Ronan, cocktails at Bar Benjamin, and what makes a restaurant worth revisiting beyond the hype cycle. Luca recaps recent meals at Napa Rose at Disneyland post-renovation, Darling by Sean Brock, and an accidental Bravo-side quest at SUR.In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we weigh in on the Crenshaw Food Hub and its community-first food model, Marco Pierre White going viral while eating McDonald's, the rise of all-day cafés reshaping American dining, and the latest wave of algorithm-friendly “liquid food” and meal-replacement culture. A wide-ranging, opinionated conversation about what's actually worth eating—and talking about—in LA right now.We also discuss Karen's latest on Hermon's and The Rainforest Cafe (lol).

On this episode of The LA Food Podcast, we're doing a little bit of everything — industry analysis, hot takes, and a long, thoughtful sit-down with two people quietly shaping what neighborhood dining looks like in Los Angeles right now.In Part 1, Father Sal joins Luca to break down the 2026 James Beard Award semifinalists. LA had a massive showing this year, but how does it stack up against past years — and which semifinalists actually have a real shot at winning? We dig into the numbers, the narratives, and what Beard recognition really means in 2026. In Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we cover Noma selling out in three minutes (and then making bagels), Bill Addison taking the gloves off, Firstborn LA going all-in on prix fixe, and a handful of LA chefs landing on one of the year's most anticipated culinary TV shows.In Part 2, Luca sits down with Adam Weisblatt, Co-Founder and Partner of Last Word Hospitality, and DK Kolender, Chef and Partner of Hermon's, one of LA's most talked-about new neighborhood restaurants. We start with Hermon's — the vision, the food, the drinks, and why it already feels like it's been here forever — before zooming out to talk about Last Word's broader strategy behind Found Oyster, Queen's, Barra Santos, and more. Adam and DK share hard-earned perspective on building restaurants people actually return to, thriving as a restaurant group in today's LA, and how they think about growth, praise, and sustainability. We close with reflections on Last Word Hospitality's recent James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur nomination and what success looks like moving forward.Powered by Acquired Taste

What do you think about Jesus? Who do men say that He is? Who do you say that He is?In the beautiful climes of Caesarea Philippi, with snowy Mt. Hermon gazing down upon them, Jesus asks these questions of his disciples. They have been with Jesus for years. He healed the sick, cast out demons, and raised the dead. He preached repentance and the coming of the kingdom of God. Thousands have followed him. Few are fully dedicated to being his disciples. Others hate him and want Him to die. So who is He?

Welcome back to The LA Food Podcast! In our second episode of 2026, Father Sal and Luca kick things off with Recent Eats, covering Hermon's, Superba, Connie & Ted's, and Etra. Then we dive into the new California food laws taking effect in 2026 — including updates to minimum wage, plastic bag rules, delivery app regulations, tortilla fortification, allergen menu labeling, retirement plan requirements, outdoor dining extensions, and more.Using reporting from Eater LA's Mona Holmes, we break down how these policy changes affect restaurants, diners, delivery drivers, street vendors, and the broader hospitality industry. Are these laws a win for consumers? Added pressure for already-strained restaurants? Or a mixed bag lawmakers will need to refine?Plus, in Chef's Kiss / Big Miss, we hit:• Horses shuttering amid “catgate” fallout and tax liens• The closure of LA County's oldest restaurant• A surprise Downtown comeback from a beloved chef• Pete Wells' health-focused reset after stepping away from criticism• Blackbird's 56 wild restaurant ideas for 2026If you care about LA dining culture, food policy, restaurant trends, and what's ahead for hospitality in 2026, this episode is a must-listen.SEO Keywords Included: new California food laws 2026, LA restaurants, delivery app regulations, California minimum wage 2026, Eater LA, Mona Holmes, restaurant trends 2026, Horses LA closure, Pete Wells health, LA dining news, LA food podcastPowered by Acquired Taste Media.

Welcome to Day 2751 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2751 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2751 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled From Eden to New Jerusalem: The Pattern of Ascent, Fall, and Redemption. Throughout Scripture, a pattern emerges—one that contrasts the fall of those who grasp at divinity with the exaltation of those who receive it by grace through believing loyalty. From Eden to Hermon, Babel, and ultimately to the New Jerusalem, the Bible traces the path of human ambition, divine descent, and final restoration. The first segment is: Eden: Seizing Divinity, Ending in Death In the beginning, Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, placed in sacred space, and destined to reign with Him. Yet they were not content to reflect His glory. Tempted by the serpent, they reached for equality with God on their own terms: “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis three verse 5 By attempting to grasp what had not been offered, they fell. Cast out of the garden, barred from the Tree of Life, and sentenced to die, their descent began not just physically but spiritually. They traded divine fellowship for exile and mortality. The second segment is: Hermon: Divine Rebellion and the Corruption of Mankind The next great rebellion came not from humans alone, but from the spiritual realm. According to 1 Enoch 6, the sons of God descended upon Mount Hermon and made a pact to defy God by taking human wives and producing the Nephilim. Their actions unleashed chaos and violence across the earth. This attempt to force a merger of heaven and earth on their own terms brought catastrophic consequences. God judged the Watchers, bound them in the Abyss, and destroyed their offspring in the Flood. Yet their spirits—demons—remained to corrupt mankind. The descent from Hermon marked not exaltation but divine exile, and it echoes the same pattern: those who attempt to seize divine authority fall into judgment. The third segment is: Babel: Ascending in Pride, Scattered in Judgment The next great act of rebellion came at Babel. Humanity, unified in language and purpose, sought to reach the heavens: “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves…” Genesis Eleven verse 4 Though the text says they were “one people,” this unity was likely driven by demonic influence—a renewed attempt to reopen the spiritual gateway severed at the Flood. Some modern theological reconstructions suggest the builders, influenced by demonic forces, may have sought to create a gateway that would allow the imprisoned Watchers to rise again and make war on Heaven itself. But the plan was doomed. God had already sentenced the Watchers to the Abyss, and no human or spiritual force could overturn that...

It's Solomon's own carriage. [1] Sixty warriors surround it, the most heroic of Israel, 8 all of them wearing a sword, all trained for battle, each man with his sword at his side, ready for the terrors of the night. 9 This palanquin [2] King Solomon made for himself     out of wood from Lebanon. 10 Its posts he made of silver. Its base he made of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple. Its interior was inlaid with love [3]     by the daughters of Jerusalem. 11 Come out, you daughters of Zion, and look at King Solomon wearing the crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him     on the day of his wedding,     on the day his heart rejoiced. Beautiful From Top to Bottom The Man Song of Songs 4 1 Look at you. You are beautiful, my darling! Look at you. You are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats which flows down from Mount Gilead. 2 Your teeth are like a flock, ready to be sheared, which comes up from the washing. Each is a twin. Not one of them is left by itself. 3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon. Your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. 4 Like the tower of David, your neck is adorned with rows of stones. [4] A thousand shields hang on it, all of them the equipment of warriors. 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that browse among the lilies. 6 Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of incense. 7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling. There is no flaw in you. Spices and Wine, Milk and Honey The Man 8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride. With me from Lebanon, come.

You have stirred my heart     with one, just one of your eyes,     with one jewel of your necklace. 10 How delightful it is to experience your love,     my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice! 11 Your lips drip like a honeycomb, my bride. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The fragrance of your garments     is like the fragrance of Lebanon. 12 You are an enclosed garden, my sister, my bride. You are an enclosed spring, [5] a sealed fountain. 13 Your plants are an orchard, pomegranates with other choice fruits, henna with nard, 14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, myrrh and aloes, with all the finest spices. 15 You are a garden fountain, a well of water flowing and streaming down from Lebanon.

Andrew Chung   Psalm 42:5-11   English Standard Version     5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,     and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,     my salvation[a] 6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me;     therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,     from Mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep     at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves     have gone over me. 8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,     and at night his song is with me,     a prayer to the God of my life. 9 I say to God, my rock:     “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning     because of the oppression of the enemy?” 10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,     my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long,     “Where is your God?” 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,     and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,     my salvation and my God.

2 Corinthians 9:8 EHV“God is able to make all grace OVERFLOW to you, so that in ALL THINGS at all times, having ALL that you need, you will OVERFLOW in every good work.”Psalm 23:5–6 NLT“You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.

Question: Nowadays the Jordan River has almost ceased to exist. What was so special about crossing this river in the time of Joshua? 
It was spring, when seasonal rains, plus melting snow from Mt. Hermon, put the river at flood stage. Many of the well-known fords were now covered by deep water, swift and dangerous. Questions: Had the two spies returning from Jericho experienced any special trouble in crossing the Jordan from west to east? 
None was recorded.
 So, what could be the problem in crossing from east to west? 
The spies were strong young men. The people of Israel were composed of men, women, and ...

In this episode, we discover the story of what happened with Jesus on Mt. Hermon prior to his baptism. There are lessons of fatherhood, mercy, the resolution of the Lucifer rebellion, and why this may be the most important passage you will find in the entire Urantia Book.It appears everything we know and care about in the universe came down to this one moment in time. It's the story everyone needs to hear in order to understand the profound relationship God has with his children.

A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.42 As a deer pants for flowing streams,    so pants my soul for you, O God.2 My soul thirsts for God,    for the living God.When shall I come and appear before God?3 My tears have been my food    day and night,while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?”4 These things I remember,    as I pour out my soul:how I would go with the throng    and lead them in procession to the house of Godwith glad shouts and songs of praise,    a multitude keeping festival.5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation[c] 6 and my God.My soul is cast down within me;    therefore I remember youfrom the land of Jordan and of Hermon,    from Mount Mizar.7 Deep calls to deep    at the roar of your waterfalls;all your breakers and your waves    have gone over me.8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,    and at night his song is with me,    a prayer to the God of my life.9 I say to God, my rock:    “Why have you forgotten me?Why do I go mourning    because of the oppression of the enemy?”10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,    my adversaries taunt me,while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?”11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation and my God. For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

Rod Smith and Pete take a detour from the Eternal Security topic to talk about a double-edged sword, and that is: dogma.  It has its place; it can be helpful and useful, but it has many close-minded dangers as well.  Let's examine the concept together and see where we each might be going off course in how we approach life, our worldview, and the concept of finding truth!

Award-winning filmmaker, author, and whistle-blower to the Apollo Moon landing hoax, Bart Sibrel, comes back to talk with us, tying up some loose ends on a rundown of some of the smoking guns and impossibilities for why they didn't and couldn't have gone to the moon in 1969.  We transition the conversation to the topic of UFOs and Aliens and what their true nature is and an admonition to pray for our enemies, those that have lied, enslaved, and oppressed us, that they might repent and bear witness to the truth of Christ's supremacy over all creation! Please visit www.sibrel.com to watch his films for free, or check out his book Moon Man, to hear the whole story, including how he was pursued by the CIA for exposing this truth, and also his latest book, Aliens From Planet X.

We conclude our conversation with Penny L.A. Shepard (began in EP 132), as we expose the deeds of darkness that government agencies and the deep state along with the Freemasonic Luciferians in the entertainment industry are perpetrating to those most vulnerable among us, our children.  Deep underground military bases, working with Nephilim, trafficking children in tunnels connected to mansions, and so much more on this episode.  This is a heavy one, folks...but with Christ there is always hope.  Pray with us that these things will be exposed, salvation would come to our enemies, and children would be protected from these horrors!

On this first half of our conversation (to be concluded in EP 133), host of the show "Agent X11" and co-host of "The Awake Nation", Penny L.A. Shepard returns to The Days of Noah to talk about the MIEC corruption of culture and society, how the Military Industrial Entertainment Complex, our government and the entertainment industry, work hand in glove to subvert Christianity, to sow seeds of destruction into the American family, and are tools of Satan to bring the fruit of evil intentions into our culture.

Rod joins Pete once again to continue this mini episode series, this time asking the question: do we retain our full free will after salvation? Or does God limit us in some way so that we can sin but CAN'T sin so far as to revert to unbelief in God? Chew on this one with studying the Word and asking for Holy Spirit discernment!

THE SHOWDOWN on Mount Carmel is even more spectacular than we've been taught. The story is sensational on its surface: The prophet Elijah, one of the few prophets of God still active in the northern kingdom of Israel, tells King Ahab to his face that there will be no rain until Elijah says so. Then he flees from the king and hides out for three years. During that time, the prophet was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith somewhere east of the Jordan until the drought caused the stream to dry up. Then Elijah traveled to Phoenicia and lodged with a widow of Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Because of the famine, she was prepared to make one last meal and then starve to death with her son (or children, according to the Septuagint). Miraculously, the woman did not run out of flour or oil during the entire time Elijah stayed with her. The account of the miracle of Elijah bringing the widow's son back from the dead has a deeper meaning when you understand a little of the religion of the Phoenicians (who were Canaanites, which in turn is just a geographic designation for the Amorites in Canaan). The patron deity of Sidon was Eshmun, the Phoenician name for the Greek demigod Asclepius. The Greeks believed Asclepius was the half-divine son of Apollo, a healer of such skill that he was able to cure death. (This led Hades to complain to Zeus that Asclepius was disrupting the natural order of things, so Zeus killed Asclepius.) The point is this: God, through Elijah, demonstrated that He, Yahweh, was the one God who truly has power over life and death. Likewise, Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal has a deeper meaning. This was a literal battle between Yahweh and the Baal worshipped by Jezebel and her pagan father, Ethbaal, king of Tyre. Ethbaal was a priest of Astarte, the Canaanite version of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex and war (which explains a lot about Jezebel). The kicker is that the Baal of Tyre was probably Melqart, which was the Phoenician name for Herakles—better known to us as Hercules. This explains some of Elijah's taunts while Jezebel's prophets danced, shouted, and cut themselves to summon their small-G god. It also helps us understand why Elijah had twelve vessels of water poured over the sacrifice and the wood on the altar. It didn't just represent the twelve tribes of Israel and make the sacrifice more difficult to burn, it mocked a libation (drink offering) ritual called yarid that is documented in Jewish and Roman texts and inscriptions as late as the 3rd century AD, when Emperor Diocletian performed the yarid at Tyre for Hercules! This also connects to Mount Hermon, where scholars Edward Lipiński and Charles Clermont-Ganneau noted, based on the site drawing by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 (when he discovered the Watcher Stone in a temple near the peak of the mountain), that the summit of Hermon is scooped out like a giant bowl—probably to receive these offerings. Lipiński wrote that this means the Watchers, led by Shemihazah, did not descend in the days of Jared, but in the days when the yarid was performed on the mountain. So, Elijah's actions on Mount Carmel were directed not just at Baal or Melqart/Hercules, but at the “sons of God” who long ago tried to take dominion of Earth away from the children of Adam and Eve.
