Podcasts about Horeb

We explore Israel's journey through the wilderness, where their discontentment escalates, leading them to threaten Moses' life for the lack of water. Despite their unfaithfulness, God provides water from a rock at Horeb. Following this, the Israelites are attacked by the Amalekites. However, through God's intervention and Moses' prayer, they prevail in the battle. We also meet Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, a non-Israelite priest who praises God for his deliverance of the Israelites. Despite witnessing God's power and provision, the Israelites continue to grumble and test God, failing to honor him as Jethro does. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Mind Stayed on Him In this mid-week teaching at Church of the Harvest, Associate Pastor Todd Haggard addresses the pervasive spiritual challenge of the modern digital era: the saturation of our attention and the degradation of our spiritual hearing. Using the dramatic narrative of the Prophet Elijah from 1 Kings 19, Pastor Todd illustrates that a chaotic environment or an emotional crisis will actively skew a believer's perspective, making a deliberate pursuit of quiet reflection the ultimate prerequisite for processing the voice of God. Key Highlights The Hostage of Attention: Satan utilizes modern technology, targeted algorithmic marketing (such as tracking data across platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and Facebook), and sensory notifications to take the human mind hostage. Pastor Todd notes that we have become like frogs in boiling water—so accustomed to constant mental simulation that we fail to notice our attention is being systematically stolen. The Immediacy Trap: Modern search engines process roughly 100,000 requests per second, conditioning society to expect instant results. This entitlement to immediate answers creates deep friction when brought into a walk of faith, as believers begin to mistake a sovereign God's requirement for patient waiting as a lack of response or absolute rejection. The Danger of Emotional Amplification: When an individual enters a season of physical, circumstantial, or relational trauma, their internal spiritual hearing is instantly compromised. Instead of processing raw truth, the mind filters messages exclusively through the lens of active pain, causing the emotions to artificially amplify fear and distortion. The Logic of Elijah's Flight: After executing the spectacular supernatural defeat of 450 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel, Elijah fled in absolute terror from the threats of Queen Jezebel. He traveled to Mount Horeb (Sinai)—the exact opposite end of the kingdom. While Elijah was actively running from an earthly crisis, his instinct subconsciously guided him toward the historically established mountain of God. The Sovereign Whisper: God did not position His presence inside the mountain-shattering wind, the structural trauma of the earthquake, or the blazing heat of the fire. Instead, He chose to communicate through a fragile, low-whisper cadence ("a gentle whisper"). God uses the subtle volume of a whisper to demand that a believer quiet their environment and pull close to hear Him. The Spectrum of Spiritual Hearing: Noise vs. The Whisper [ HIGH VOLUME: THE STREET LEVEL ] ────► Notifications, News Alerts, Anxiety, Chaos │ ▼ (The Transition: Active Isolation & Cave Mentalities) │ [ LOW VOLUME: THE THRONE LEVEL ] ────► The Gentle Whisper, Patient Trust, Wisdom Source of Sound Structural Character The Impact on the Believer's Mind The Earthly Torrent Digital alerts, targeted tracking, social media loops, and cultural paranoia (e.g., alien conspiracies, global panics). Creates a thick layer of static that clogs the cognitive ability to filter eternal truth from temporary noise. The Voice of Crisis Intense screaming, emotional reactions, active wounds, and feelings of utter isolation ("I am the only one left"). Distorts logic and forces the individual to interpret God's behavior through their current hurt rather than His historical character. The Gentle Whisper Sovereignly timed, slow-paced, intimate, requiring stillness and the total abandonment of performance. Calibrates internal perspective, imparts true structural understanding, and restores clear direction for the calling. Core Message: Trusting the Heart When Blind to the Hand The core directive of the teaching centers on breaking free from the cultural demands for quick, easy formulas. When your current circumstances are completely obscured by structural shifting, you must lean on the historical consistency of God's character. "All the information in the world is useless if you don't know how to apply it and use it... Quick answers usually aren't great answers. When we can't see His hand, we trust His heart." Scriptural Foundations Isaiah 26:3: The promise of absolute, perfect emotional preservation for the mind that remains unswervingly fixed on God. 1 Kings 19:11-18: The structural recording of Elijah's retreat into the cave at Horeb, the subsequent atmospheric disruptions, and the realization of God's presence within the low whisper. Proverbs 4:7: The paramount structural command of scriptural living: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." "Thanks for listening!

Ref.: Paul Grötsch, Fachanwalt für Erbrecht, Geschäftsführer des Deutschen Forums für Erbrecht, München Viele Deutsche haben kein gültiges Testament. Dabei kann ein sorgfältiges Ordnen des Nachlasses Familienstreitigkeiten und bösen Überraschungen vorbeugen, wie etwa einer ungeahnt hohen Erbschaftssteuer. Gleichzeitig bleibt Erbe ein sensibles Thema - es ist ja immer auch Ausdruck von Zuwendung und auch von gefühlter Bevorzugung oder Benachteiligung unter Geschwistern. Ein Grund mehr, sich rechtzeitig und genau zu überlegen, wem wir was von unseren großen und kleinen Besitztümern hinterlassen. In der Lebenshilfe stellt sich der renommierte Münchner Erbrechtsanwalt Dr. Anton Steiner Ihren Fragen rund um Testament, Erbe und Vermächtnis: Was ist bei der Ausgestaltung eines Testamentes zu beachten?

Room To Breathe pt. 2 | MAY 10, 2026Pastor Wes MorrisI Kings 19:1-9 (NIV) Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night.√ GOD MEETS US IN THE WILDERNESS, NOT JUST THE BREAKTHROUGH.I Kings 19:4-5 (NIV) “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him...√ GOD SEES WHAT NO ONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS.I Kings 19:6 (ESV) And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again. √ GOD CARES ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN YOU, NOT JUST WHAT'S HAPPENING THROUGH YOU.I Kings 19:9-12 (NIV) He came to a cave and camped there, and the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, Lord of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.”He said, “Go and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind split the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake came, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire came, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire, a still, small voice. THE GOD WHO SEESI.

The passage is the beginning of Moses' second sermon to the people of Israel across the Jordan. Moses begins to set the Law before the people of Israel to teach them its statues and rules that they might learn them, keep them, and thereby enjoy long life in the Promised Land. Moses' begins his sermon with a reminder of the basics of the covenant made at Horeb, the Ten Commandments. While the upcoming generation will prove faithful and enter the land to possess it, ultimately the text points us to the better mediatior, Jesus Christ, and his better covenant, the New Covenant! Only through jesus and the New Covenant in His blood are we promised and assured eternal life in the presence of God.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 26th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the fifth book of Moses, Deuteronomy 1:6: “The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.“Then of course, we go to Isaiah 40:31: ”But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” You and I have dwelt long enough at this mountain. It is time to move forward now. We are praying for courage. Yes, Lord Jesus, we need more courage, more strength, more fortitude. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word “fortitude”. It means bravery, endurance, resilience, mettle, strength of character, backbone, grit or just plain guts! Folks, we've dwelt at this mountain long enough. It is time to move forward now. Most of all, we need godly wisdom. It's time to fly out of that comfortable nest and to move forward for the Lord.I always think of the example of the mother eagle. When the chicks get old enough, mother says, “It is time to move forward, you've been in this nest long enough”, and slowly but surely she starts to throw all the comfortable little bits that she's put in there for the chicks and it becomes very bare. Then she starts pulling out the sticks, and there's nothing left but a rocky ledge, and then she literally edges her babies off the edge of the cliff. They have to fly and she watches them, and if they don't quite get it the first time, she catches them on her wings, takes them to the top and does it again, until they fly.The Lord says to you and me today, we have dwelt long enough at this mountain. It is now time to move forward. Jesus give you lots of grit and courage and guts as you take your next step forward.God bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord;14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!Where do you turn when your heart is faint, your defenses are down, and you desperately need the pure relief of remembering how big your God is? Join Jaime on the Praying Christian Women Podcast for a devotional on Psalm 61 — a beautiful, deep breath of a psalm where David trades lament for absolute, unshakable confidence in God's protection. Jaime unpacks the vivid contrasts of David’s poetry, from the rugged military imagery of God as an unbreachable high tower lifted far above the enemy's arrows, to the tender, fiercely protective picture of a mother bird sheltering her young. She traces this comforting theme of hiding "under His wings" throughout Scripture, showing how it represents not just safety, but deep belonging, intimacy, and love. We also dig into the striking echo of Moses in Exodus 17 — when he struck the rock at Horeb and living water poured out. God is not just a cold, distant stone fortress to hide behind; He is the life-giving provision that sustains us when we are placed upon the high ground. Come ready to step off the battlefield and into the throne room. Let this psalm remind you that while we aren't taken out of the world, we are completely covered while we walk through it. Because He is the high tower. He is the living water. And He is the safe refuge under whose wings we can finally sing for joy.

Ref.: Theresa Miniarti Fehlner, Adoptivkind aus Indonesien Adoptivkinder sind überdurchschnittlich oft von psychischen Belastungen betroffen, etwa von Depressionen oder Lernschwierigkeiten. Denn selbst wenn sie liebevolle Adoptiveltern haben, so bleibt doch das frühkindliche Trauma der Trennung von der leiblichen Mutter. Manchmal sehen die Kinder auch einfach sehr anders aus als ihre neue Familie oder haben völlig andere Begabungen und Interessen, weshalb sie sich nie ganz dazugehörig fühlen. Theresa Miniarti Fehlner wurde aus Indonesien von einem deutschen Paar adoptiert, auch ihre beiden Geschwister sind Adoptivkinder. In der Lebenshilfe beschreibt sie ihre persönliche Identitätssuche und die besonderen Herausforderungen, denen Adoptivkinder und ihre Eltern sich stellen müssen. Ohne den Glauben an Gott, sagt sie, hätte sie niemals so versöhnt ihren Platz im Leben gefunden.

Leading the flock beyond the wilderness, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him as fire flaming out of a bush. When he looked, although the bush was on fire, it was not being consumed. 3 So Moses decided, "I must turn aside to look at this remarkable sight. Why does the bush not burn up? 3 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb. 2 And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. Reflection on Scripture: Moses had been living his life. It appears he was not very familiar with the workings of God and then suddenly God showed him something. God showed Moses a miraculous thing. Something that Moses could not understand. There was nothing in Moses' understanding that would allow him to comprehend or explain what he was seeing. It began with wonder. As he led his flock in the mountains he saw a bush which seemed to be on fire but was not consumed. Moses stopped what he was doing. He noticed the wonder. He did not create the situation. He did not make the Lord burn a bush. All he did was wonder at what he saw and he responded In our lives if we pay attention we can see the hand of the Lord, normally in much less subtle ways than for a prophet who was so central to God's plan with His children, nevertheless we get our own version of signs. The question I ponder is, am I looking for God's wonders? How often do I pass by a miracle from the Lord because I don't pause to wonder why that bush is burning so to speak. For Moses this experience was part of his call from God. Similarly you have a call from God. I don't know what yours is, perhaps you know and perhaps you don't. One thing that is crucial… Keep looking for God in your life.  He who has ears to hear let him listen. Let us listen with our ears to what God proclaims. Those answers often come from the scriptures are we are more likely to hear them if we pray to the Lord. So let us spend time in God's word and in prayer to God. Then when we see His word fulfilled or we read a passage that rings out from beyond, turn and look at that burning bush. Respond to the voice of the Lord.   Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit.

TEACHING TEXT:  Exodus 3:1-12,” Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” See the Power of God.Exodus 3:2-6,”4 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”Charles Spurgeon - “Where God is present, the place becomes holy ground, though it be a desert and a bush.”Exodus 3:6,”6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”Matthew Henry - “God's covenant-relation to us as our God is the best support in the worst of times, and a great encouragement to our faith in particular promises. When we are conscious to ourselves of our own great unworthiness we may take comfort from God's relation to our fathers,”Charles Spurgeon - “A sense of the divine presence will make a man cover his face in humility. The nearer we come to God, the more conscious we are of our own unworthiness.”Recognize who God is. Exodus 3:11-15,”11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” 13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.'”15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation.”A. W. Tozer - “God exists in Himself and by Himself, and all other beings exist only because He wills that they should.”God extends the call. Exodus 4:1-11 “Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you'?” 2 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. 3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.” 6 Then the Lord said, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous[e]—it had become as white as snow. 7 “Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh. 8 Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, they may believe the second. 9 But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood on the ground.” 10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” 11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”Exodus 3:7-8,”7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—”Moses sees → resists → God still sends God answers every excuse except one: unwillingness Charles Spurgeon - “The Lord's eye is never closed to the sorrow of His people.”Ask God to reveal His power to you.Ask God to reveal His identity to you.Ask God to send you. GOD ALONE SUSTAINS  ...
