What do we do with the guilt of sin?  Many times we don't own it.  We tend to “pass the buck.”  We tend to rationalize “it's not MY fault.”  It's human nature.  It's exactly what Adam and Eve did in the garden that fateful day when they gave into temptation.  What do you do when YOU give into temptation?  Do you take accountability or do you pass the buck? Unfortunately, because of our sinful condition, of which David reminds us in Psalm 51, we  were even conceived in, we not only pass the buck, but we just keep on sinning in our thoughts, in our words and in our deeds.  So now what? Well, Jesus takes all of those sins.  He takes them to the cross.  He says, “The buck stops here.  Right here at the cross.”  And it does… and He did, take them to the cross with Him so that we might be forgiven and redeemed.  He WANTS you to be with Him.  It's why He did what He did.   Our response?  Repentance, just like King David.  Genesis 3:1–21 Romans 5:12–19 Matthew 4:1–11

God is our protector. He is the Good Shepherd who takes care of His sheep. King David shares an amazing prayer for protection n Psalm 16. He doesn't do a lot of asking, but he mostly reminds himself of God's protecting nature. Join us as Pastor Mark continues our sermon series "40 Days of Prayer" as he preaches on praying when you need protection.

There are seasons in our lives where, like David, we find ourselves in caves. Pastor Mike Haman closes out the “Crowned” series by encouraging us how our cave season can have a profound impact on our lives and how we can steward it well.

In week eight of The Consecrated Life, Pastor Josh teaches on Offer: what it means to bring God a costly, joy-filled offering that honors Him, shapes our hearts, and prepares us for what's next. From Cain & Abel to King David's altar and the temple offerings in Chronicles, we see that God isn't after leftovers—He's worthy of our best. Support the showThanks for listening!

Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast!  This powerful exploration of discipleship takes us deep into the relationship between King David and his son Solomon, revealing timeless truths about passing on spiritual legacy. At the heart of this message is David's 'one thing'—his consuming desire to seek God's face and dwell in His presence. As we examine 1 Chronicles 22 and 28, we discover that effective discipleship isn't just about what we say, but profoundly about what we do. David's charge to Solomon wasn't merely a father's advice; it was a sacred commissioning rooted in God's promises and purposes.

Have you ever wondered what true humility could unlock in your life? Through a powerful exploration of 2 Chronicles 7:14, Pastor Jason reveals how humility isn't about thinking less of yourself—it's about seeing yourself and God rightly. Drawing from King David's raw confession in Psalm 51, he shows how genuine humility opens the door to God's transforming presence. Whether you're wrestling with pride, fear, or past mistakes, this message offers fresh hope: when we humble ourselves, God promises to lift us up. Don't miss this timely word about positioning yourself for a divine encounter!Thank you for tuning into today's message at Bold City Church! We pray it encourages you in your faith.

You may be familiar with this verse from James 1:5: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” God wants us to be wise, and the good news is, he will grant wisdom to us as we recognize our need for it and go to the source of all wisdom, our God. We also know from Scripture the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. We want the wisdom that God imparts, not the world's fake substitute. So, this is the pre-requisite: Do you fear the Lord? Do you know and respect the one true God through a personal relationship with his Son, Jesus?  That's where God's eternal wisdom begins. Assuming you do, here are the questions you need to ask yourself often. I believe these questions will help you avoid lots of trouble, keep you from shooting yourself in the foot, as we say, and greatly increase your effectiveness, regardless of where you are or what you're doing. Question #1: Do you think before you speak? How many times have you said something—jumped quickly to give your opinion or your advice or add your two cents—and as soon as you said it, you wished the ground would just swallow you whole? Proverbs 29:20 puts it so well: “Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.” I've often said, “I may not be good but I'm fast,” as though it is a good thing to be fast. Well, maybe it is sometimes, but to speak in haste is almost always a bad idea. Note there can be a difference between doing something with haste and doing something in haste. There are times when we do need to act with haste, quickly, for good reasons. David prays in Psalm 70:1, “Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.” We often pray for God to act quickly, right? And then later in Psalm 119:60, the Psalmist says, “I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.” That's the kind of haste we all need. There's no question we should hasten to obey the Lord with no delay. But speaking in haste is speaking without giving it proper thought; speaking without thinking of how it could be perceived by someone else. It is speaking foolishly. The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18). When you choose your words carefully, thoughtfully, not in haste, you can do so much good. Proverbs 18:21 says: “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” So, if you want to be wise, ask yourself, “Do I speak words of life or death? Do I think before I speak?” Question #2: Did you sleep on it? The simple old adage, Sleep on it, can save you lots of trouble. A wise person takes time for decisions, big and small ones, because the choices and decisions we make on a daily basis set the direction of our lives. Think about decisions that you regret. I can easily bring some recent ones to my own mind, and when I look back on decisions that didn't turn out so good, it was always because I simply didn't “sleep on it,” didn't pray enough about it, didn't always seek good counsel. Again, from Proverbs 15:22, we read: “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Wise people seek counsel from those they trust. Wise people are able to live with delayed gratification, resisting the impulse to go for the immediate reward, the instant answer. How often do you tell yourself just to sleep on it, talk to somebody you trust, pray lots? I love this verse from Jeremiah 6:16a: “This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” When you're at a decision point, especially a fairly significant one, stand at that crossroad, ask for God's path, the good way. That's how you make wise decisions that bring soul rest for you. Question #3: Have you heard both sides? No doubt you've watched some courtroom drama, whether real or in a movie, where the defendant seems totally guilty until the defense gets the chance to present the other side. And what seemed so right before now seems totally wrong. Proverbs 18:17 talks about that: “In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.” When someone is telling you their side of some story, before you take sides, before you get into gear to take some action, before you affirm that person, find out the other side. Do your own cross-examination and make sure you have the whole truth and nothing but the truth! There's a story in 2 Samuel chapter nine about King David who was on the run because of his son Absalom’s rebellion. A man named Ziba approached him; he was the servant of Mephibosheth, who was a crippled man who truly loved King David. But Ziba told David that Mephibosheth stayed behind in Jerusalem to reclaim his grandfather Saul’s kingdom—in other words, to take David's place—which was a lie. But David believed him and gave Ziba all of Mephibosheth's possessions. When David and his men finally returned to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came to meet the king. Then David learned that Mephibosheth stayed in Jerusalem because Ziba, his servant, refused to saddle his donkey which prevented him from going with the king, because he was crippled and couldn't saddle it himself. So, when David discovered the other side of the story, he tried to correct his mistake, but there wasn't much he could do. Just think of the harm that is so often done because someone acted before they knew the whole story.  A wise person asks, “Have I heard both sides?” Question #4: Are you reacting or responding? A reaction is usually very emotional and often is full of feelings of revenge or defensiveness. Someone hurts your feelings and you react by trying to hurt them in some way. Someone treats you unfairly and in anger you ventilate your feelings about that person or even to that person. Those are reactions. A response is a delayed reaction, where you wait until your emotions are under control. Let me give you an example of reacting versus responding. Suppose you have a co-worker and every time she opens her mouth, it seems that bad news comes out. This person never has anything nice to say about anyone or anything, and all day long you are forced to listen to her negative chatter. What does that person do to you? If you’re in react mode, this person makes you angry, irritated, and frustrated. Having to listen to all that negative talk starts to make you think and talk negatively. That’s a reaction. It’s your automatic involuntary behavior, which is caused by that external stimuli—a negative co-worker. However, you can decide to respond instead of react. A response might be a smile when she says something negative to you. Or you may say something positive in response to her negative words. That positive response will help to keep you from being irritated and frustrated, and it will offset her negative input by your positive one, which will keep you from getting negative like your co-worker. Another response to this negative co-worker might be that you simply remove yourself from her company when you can, to avoid being exposed to her negativity. Or perhaps just develop a technique of quietly changing the subject! Now, you can see a response takes some self-control and discipline on your part. First, you have to be aware of the fact you have a tendency to react poorly in this circumstance, and then you must have an alternate strategy to tell you how to respond, so that you aren’t reacting. Question #5: Are you judging a book by its cover? We all have a tendency to do this. Someone dresses very differently from the way you dress, someone has tattoos all over their body, someone has a different political view from yours—there are just so many ways that we form hard and fast opinions and ideas about people or about a situation just by the way they look—by what you see on the outside. How many people in your life are dear friends, and yet they look very different from you? They have different backgrounds, different life experiences, come from different cultures, and yet they are dear people you know and love. If you judged them by their “cover,” you might never have become good friends. I think of a person in my church, Miss Shirley, who is now with Jesus, who made it her job to stand at the front door every Sunday and welcome everyone. It was her purpose to find a stranger and make that stranger feel welcome. When I first met Miss Shirley, I wanted to take her to a hair stylist and buy her some new clothes. She did not look like she should be welcoming people at the front door! I judged her by her cover, but I came to know her as one of the most effective people in our church. She was loved by so many, and she welcomed so many people into our church who might otherwise never have connected with us. I wish we had a hundred Miss Shirleys. God used her simple appearance to break down barriers, and she was a powerhouse for the Lord. So here are the five questions a wise person will ask herself often: Do I think before I speak? Did I sleep on it? Have I heard both sides? Am I reacting or responding? Am I judging a book by its cover? Proverbs 3:13 says: “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” No matter who you are, how young or how old, you can find wisdom and you will be blessed. I believe these five questions will help you.

A Prayer to Welcome Accountability with Rachael Adams Can we choose to speak the truth in live-even when it's uncomfortable?In this episode, Rachael shares a personal story of conviction after a social gathering, and through that story we’re reminded that accountability is a gift from God. Just as the prophet Nathan courageously confronted King David, we are called to lovingly challenge one another so we can grow in Christ and live lives that honor Him. Reference: Ephesians 4:15 Prayer: Father, guide and teach me what is true. Implant your truth in my heart so I am not deceived by the lies of this world and the enemy's schemes. Remove any apathy I may have for the behavior of others and give me the courage to sharpen the people in my life as iron sharpens iron. If you are leading me to intervene, let my words be filled with grace and love. May I also be open to receiving advice from others. Please place people around me to remind me of your word an hold me accountable. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The scandals in the charismatic movement have us examining: what is the difference between cover up culture and exposure culture? What is the biblical response? How do we stay in the radical middle, fostering a culture of transparency and accountability that listens to victims and doesn't hide predators without developing a culture of witch hunt? Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller & Michael Rowntree explore biblical principles for a healthy church and practical steps to build cultures of transparency that honor Scripture.0:00 – Introduction3:29 – Defining Coverup Culture4:37 – Anointing vs. Qualifications in Leadership9:23 – King David, Saul, and Church Leadership Structures17:04 – Mission and Vision Tied to Leaders19:44 – Defining Exposure Culture and Ephesians 5:1125:05 – Potential Dangers of Exposure Culture29:34 – Failure Exploitation34:04 – How Coverup Culture Views Congregants40:45 – Whistleblowers as Accusers of the Brethren45:16 – How Exposure Culture Views Victims53:57 – Discipline in Coverup Culture59:44 – When Public Exposure Is Necessary1:03:58 – Exposure Equals Destruction1:11:04 – Mob Justice and Cancel Culture1:17:02 – Role of YouTubers in Church Correction Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Send a textWhen a famine strikes Israel, Naomi's family moves from Bethlehem to Moab. Years later, Naomi loses her husband and both sons, and decides to return home. Ruth, Naomi's Moabite daughter-in-law, refuses to leave her and makes a beautiful promise: “Where you go, I will go… your God will be my God.” Back in Bethlehem, Ruth gathers leftover barley to help them survive and ends up in the field of Boaz, a kind relative who protects and provides for her. In time, Boaz marries Ruth, Naomi's family is cared for, and Ruth becomes part of a very special family line that leads to King David. A tender story about faithfulness, kindness, and choosing God. Talk about it:Why did Ruth choose to stay with Naomi even when it was hard?How did Boaz show kindness to Ruth in the fields?What does Ruth's promise teach us about loyalty and trusting God?Who can you show kindness to this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Episode 102 Have you ever looked at your family patterns and thought, “Why does this keep happening?” Maybe it's anger, addiction, broken relationships, fear, control, or spiritual apathy. In this episode, we're having an honest and hope-filled conversation about stepping into the freedom Jesus already paid for.The truth is: every cycle starts somewhere. In Scripture, we see generational patterns play out clearly. There's repeated deception in the family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And then we see dysfunction, sexual sin, and violence ripple through King David's household. But it also shows us something powerful: it only takes one person to turn back to the Lord.And sister, that someone can be you.Join us today as we learn:How to identify recurring sin patterns in your family line Why sin loses power when it's brought into the light Practical ways to stay spiritually guarded How to train your children up in the ways of the Lord What it looks like to establish new, godly patterns in your home There's hope of spiritual freedom through JesusIf you've ever felt like your current life is just a repeat of the past, this episode will remind you: in Christ, the cycle can end with you. Let's become women who don't just inherit a habit, but allow God to rewrite our stories for His glory.

Aaron Ninaber preached a powerful message last Sunday titled “Faithful over Famous,” calling the church to reject the pursuit of significance apart from surrender to Jesus. Through the examples of King David and the Parable of the Talents, Aaron reminded us that God values faithfulness and surrendered hearts over influence or recognition, challenging us to resist comparison and live from our true identity as sons and daughters of God.

Welcome to a reflective journey on the Call to Act podcast, hosted by Donovan Jones. As we celebrate four incredible years of sharing faith, stories, and the pursuit of truth, Donovan opens up about his personal experiences, challenges, and the powerful impact of scripture in his life. Join us as we explore the essence of knowing Jesus and the transformative power of faith.Main Content: 1. The Journey Begins: Donovan recalls the inception of the Call to Act podcast, sharing how he felt called to step out of his comfort zone to glorify God and encourage others. He emphasizes the importance of his mission: to uplift, build faith, and point people towards Jesus. This commitment has been unwavering as he continues to share inspiring stories and teachings.2. A New Passion for Scripture: Recently, Donovan has developed a deeper love for scripture and aims to ignite the same passion in others. He teaches youth at his church on Wednesday nights, striving to instill a boldness in their faith that sets them apart from their peers. His goal is to create an environment where young people are eager to learn and grow in their relationship with Christ.3. Life's Peaks and Valleys: Reflecting on his journey, Donovan draws parallels to the life of King David, who faced numerous highs and lows but always found assurance in God's presence. He shares insights from Psalms, illustrating how David's experiences resonate with his own struggles and triumphs. This connection serves as a reminder that God's hand guides us through every season of life.4. Embracing Change in 2026: As Donovan enters a new year, he discusses the significant changes in his life, including a new job with more balanced hours and the transition of his children from homeschooling to traditional school. He expresses gratitude for these opportunities, highlighting how they have allowed him to share his faith with others in new ways. Donovan's interaction with his new colleague, Caleb, who has begun exploring the Bible, exemplifies the impact of living out one's faith in everyday life.5. Overcoming Doubts and Focusing on God: In a candid moment, Donovan reflects on a period of doubt and discouragement he faced at the end of 2025. He shares how external pressures and comparisons led him to lose focus on his true calling. However, a transformative quote from Oswald Chambers reminded him to concentrate on God rather than external validation. This shift in perspective reignited his passion for the podcast and his mission.Conclusion: As we celebrate four years of the Call to Act podcast, Donovan emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's calling and the significance of scripture in fostering a deeper relationship with God. This journey is not just about numbers or recognition but about genuine connections and faithfulness to God's purpose. Key Takeaways: - Embrace your calling and step out of your comfort zone to inspire others. - Cultivate a genuine love for scripture and share it with those around you. - Recognize that life's journey includes both highs and lows, but God's presence remains constant. - Focus on God rather than external pressures to find true fulfillment in your mission. - Celebrate the small victories and remain open to new opportunities for growth.

If you break an arm, the path to recovery is clear, and you have a visible cast to show why you can't "help move a couch". But when it comes to mental health, there is often no clear story, no X-ray, and no obvious timeline for healing. In this final message of our series, "Light in the Pit: Faith through Depression and Anxiety," we look at the heavy reality of life in the darkness and how God meets us there.In this sermon, you will discover:• The Complexity of the Pit: Why depression is often "polygenetic"—where genetics "load the gun" and environment "pulls the trigger". We explore how neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine affect our homeostasis and motivation, making even a simple "to-do list" feel insurmountable.• The "To-Do List" Trap: Why telling someone in a depressive episode to "just pray" or "just read your Bible" can feel like an impossible mountain to climb, and how to offer physical care and love instead of spiritual cliches.• Biblical Heroes in the Dark: A look at the "grandparents' diaries" of faith—King David, Job, Jonah, and Jeremiah—who all experienced moments of melancholy, turmoil, and even a desire to die.• Elijah's "Greatest Day" to "Darkest Night": How the prophet Elijah moved from the high point of fire on Mount Carmel to a "pit" of exhaustion and isolation in a cave, begging God to take his life.• God's Holistic Care: See how God restores Elijah not by lecturing him, but by providing sleep, food, physical touch, and eventually, a "gentle whisper".• The Three Pillars of Recovery: Why the combination of seeing light, finding community, and having a sense of purpose is vital for walking out of the pit.Depression may make you feel abandoned, but the Bible reminds us that you are never alone. Jesus Himself entered the "deepest darkness"—suffering the weight of sin and true separation from God—so that He could reach into your pit and pull you into the light.Whether you are in the pit today or walking alongside someone who is, find hope in a Savior who goes all the way to the darkness to bring you home.

What happens when the guy who killed the giant becomes the guy who kills the husband of the woman he stole? King David's "comeback" after his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah is one of the most significant examples of restoration in the Bible. It wasn't a comeback in the sense that he erased his mistakes; rather, it was a process of confrontation, deep repentance, acceptance of consequences, and eventual restoration.

Mike Harrelson - February 15th 2026 Drift is quiet — but repentance restores joy and sends us back on mission. This week, Mike walks us through the life of King David (2 Samuel 11–12; Psalm 51; Revelation 2), exposing the subtle danger of spiritual drift. Like a surfer slowly carried away from the lifeguard tower, drift rarely feels dramatic — it's gradual, quiet, and often disguised as comfort, busyness, or even religious activity. Mike shows how David's greatest failure didn't begin with adultery or murder — it began with absence. He stayed home when kings went to war. From there, one quiet compromise led to devastating consequences that affected everyone around him. Drift is never private. But the story doesn't end there. Through Psalm 51, we hear what real repentance sounds like — confession, humility, a broken spirit, and a desperate plea: “Restore the joy of your salvation to me.” David models that restoration begins not with activity, but with a humble heart. When joy is restored, mission follows. The message closes with a powerful reminder from Revelation 2: Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love. Our hope is not in drifting less — it is in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Son of David, who never drifted and now intercedes for us. As a church stepping intentionally into mission (including Alpha), this sermon asks two honest questions: How's your joy? And, Who in your life is God pursuing — and how can you join Him?

Guest preacher Dale Edwards shares a powerful message, taken from Luke 7, of the desperate but committed and faithful actions of a woman (some think it was Mary Magdalene) in the house of Simon the Pharisee. Her recognition of Jesus echoes the Hebrew tradition of the "kinsman redeemer" as seen in the Old Testament book of Ruth. Ruth and her kinsman redeemer Boaz were grandparents of King David and thus on the line to the woman's, and our, kinsman redeemer, Jesus.

David, The Psalms, And The Torah  Part 3:  The Law Of Liberty  -  English only.  People define liberty in different ways. King David offered a remarkable interpretation!  Based on Psalm 119:41-48.  Recorded February 3, 2026. 

This sermon explores the desire of King David to have his presence in the house of the Lord be the one thing he desired above all else. While the model of the temple worship no longer exists, the heart of being near to God, gathered with his people in the local church still remains a priority of God for all believers. There are a number of factors today that keep people from prioritizing church, but the reasons to stay connected with the Body of Christ are too great to ignore.This week also marks "Ownership Sunday", inviting everyone of participation at Living Water as an "owner" pursuing three commitments: to Grow- through large and small group interactions, to Serve- by letting God use you for His Purposes, to Give- by trusting God and stewarding every portion of your life including finances.

St. Isaac does not flatter us. He does not tell us that the ascetic life is noble. He tells us it burns. He does not tell us it is peaceful. He tells us it wounds. He does not tell us it feels like fulfillment. He tells us it feels like loss. Because what stands at the heart of the ascetic life is not discipline. It is death. Not the death of the body, but the death of the self that has lived for itself. And until that self begins to die, the soul remains cold. The modern man wants illumination without humiliation. He wants consolation without affliction. He wants joy without tears. He wants Christ without crucifixion. But St. Isaac tells us plainly. The sign that the soul is drawing near to life is not comfort. It is fire. Your heart is aflame both day and night. This fire does not come from effort. It comes from surrender. It comes when a man has ceased defending himself. It comes when he has ceased preserving his image. It comes when he has ceased negotiating with God. He stands stripped of illusions. He sees his poverty. He sees his weakness. He sees that he has nothing. And this is where grace begins. Because God does not fill what is full. He fills what has been emptied. The Lord says through the prophet Isaiah I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite. The fathers knew this. Abba Poemen said The man who understands his sins is greater than the man who raises the dead. Because the one who raises the dead may still live for himself. But the one who sees his sins has begun to die. And it is this death that gives birth to tears. St. Isaac says that tears join themselves to every work. Not because the man is trying to weep. But because he can no longer protect himself from reality. He sees God. He sees himself. He sees the distance between them. And he weeps. These tears are not weakness. They are truth. They are the breaking of the heart that has lived in false strength. King David understood this when he said My sacrifice is a contrite spirit. A humbled and contrite heart you will not spurn. God does not desire your accomplishments. He desires your brokenness. Because brokenness is the door through which He enters. This is why St. Isaac says that afflictions suffered for the Lord are more precious than every offering. Because affliction destroys the illusion that you are alive apart from God. Affliction reveals the truth. That you are dust. That you are weak. That you cannot save yourself. And the ego cannot survive this revelation. This is why affliction is feared. Not because it harms us. But because it exposes us. The Apostle Paul understood this mystery when he said We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed. Perplexed, but not driven to despair. Struck down, but not destroyed. Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. Affliction carries death into the false self. So that life may be born in the true self. And this is where the paradox appears. Because the man who embraces affliction does not become miserable. He becomes free. St. Isaac says that when this fire is born in the soul, the whole world becomes ashes. Not because the world is hated. But because it no longer enslaves him. He no longer needs it to feel alive. He no longer needs recognition. He no longer needs control. He no longer needs to preserve himself. Because he has found something greater. He has found Christ. And Christ becomes his life. St. Paul says I count all things as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. This is not poetry. This is the testimony of a man who has passed through affliction into freedom. Because when the false life dies, the true life appears. And this life cannot be taken. This is the joy that St. Isaac speaks of. Not emotional happiness. But the unshakable certainty that Christ has become your life. This joy is born in tears. It is born in humiliation. It is born in affliction. It is born when the man ceases running from the cross. Christ did not say Avoid suffering. He said Take up your cross and follow me. Because the cross is not the end. It is the door. On the other side of affliction stands resurrection. On the other side of humiliation stands freedom. On the other side of tears stands joy. This is why St. Isaac warns us. If the fire grows cold, woe to you. Because the greatest tragedy is not suffering. It is returning to sleep. It is returning to self protection. It is returning to the illusion that you can live apart from God. The ascetic life is not about becoming strong. It is about becoming defenseless before God. It is about allowing Him to strip away everything false. It is about allowing Him to destroy what cannot live. So that what is eternal may appear. And when this happens, the man no longer fears affliction. Because he has seen what it produces. He has seen the fire. He has tasted the tears. He has known the joy that cannot be taken. And he understands at last the words of Christ Your sorrow will turn into joy. Not because suffering disappears. But because Christ has become your life. And nothing can take Him away. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:00:58 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 paragraph 24 00:07:15 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 177 paragraph 24 00:07:36 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Ascetic life begins where excuses die When a man stops speaking about God and begins to suffer for Him Humility takes root so deeply that tear flow unceasingly Heart burns without knowing why When grace comes the battle grows more dangerous - soul tempted to become prudent. Where most turn back Ascetic life requires a kind of violence against instinct to survive 00:16:15 Jesssica Imanaka: Looks I can attend these retreats since they don't start until the 21st. 00:20:28 Angela Bellamy: The devil does not only tempt with sin — he tempts with carefulness. I remember that from the "Unseen warfare" 00:30:50 Sr Barbara Jean Mihalchick: Baptism of the Holy Spirit? 00:31:58 Ryan Ngeve: Father with his emphasis on tears, does that mean a lack of tears entails the lack of working of the Holy Spirit 00:32:00 Angela Bellamy: Does such a thing that has happened that the unemotional/tenderness tears come... Would "carefulness take it away before time" 00:36:24 Angela Bellamy: Reacted to "Does such a thing th..." with ❤️ 00:39:24 Angela Bellamy: But with certainty one can assume that they are the one who pulled away, not Him? So there can be a drawing near again...? 00:46:03 Holly Hecker: it would appear that consolations at these times could be sort of dangerous - do we want to go back or go forward 00:46:09 David Swiderski, WI: I have noticed when repentance seems distant my mind turns towards pride forgetting being freed from it is not by me but by grace of something. When I turn back to repentance I find myself like Abba moses walking around with a hole in a bag of sand and more open to others struggles 00:50:21 John ‘Jack': Since reading the fathers, I've come to realize that I am only responsible for my own salvation, it seems like our culture has convinced us that we are somehow responsible for others salvation. Since I've been focused on this I've found my “witness” if you will has become far less burdensome. 00:54:35 Joan Chakonas: My prayers are usually in context of afflictions (my judgmentalism, my ridicule, my thoughts in general from living my day )and asking for Gods help and guidance.  When I am at peace I am not actively petitioning God for abstract things - I am trying to repent all the time and peace is what I get when I get His message. 00:55:09 David Swiderski, WI: Sin is followed by shame, Repentance is followed by boldness- St. John Chrysotom 00:56:10 Joan Chakonas: I just say thank you God over and over when I get to peace. 00:56:26 John ‘Jack': Perfectly stated, Father thank you. 00:56:53 Myles Davidson: Reacted to "I just say thank you..." with ❤️ 01:01:18 Anthony: Preach Father! I saw the Faith in Southern Italy was so different in its tone than what I've seen as an American Catholic. 01:01:41 Myles Davidson: A word for sorrowful joy seems like a word we lack in English (bittersweet is probably the closest). Is this the Greek word you mean Father? χαρμολύπη (charmolýpi)… pronounced as khar-mo-LEE-pee 01:02:05 Ben: Anna; This conversation reminds me of something Jesus said, "This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you." 01:02:45 Angela Bellamy: Reacted to "Anna; This conversat..." with ❤️ 01:02:57 David Swiderski, WI: Reacted to "Anna; This conversat..." with ❤️ 01:05:51 Angela Bellamy: I'm not really sure why this conversation reminds me of Malachi.

Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/ Christian Solidarity International On today's Quick Start podcast: NEWS: A growing dispute between the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Office is raising questions in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Federal sources claim key DNA evidence was kept from the FBI crime lab in Quantico, while Sheriff Chris Nanos strongly denies blocking access and says investigators agreed to keep all samples together at one lab. Meanwhile, surveillance footage of a masked suspect has been released, more than 13,000 tips have poured in, and the reward has climbed to $100,000 as the urgent search continues. FOCUS STORY: Does modern archaeology confirm the Bible — or contradict it? For years, some scholars cast doubt on whether King David even existed. But a major discovery in northern Israel reshaped the debate. CBN's Raj Nair travels to the Holy Land with Israeli tour guide Yoav Rotem to explore how archaeology is challenging skeptics and strengthening confidence in Scripture. MAIN THING: New images from Nigeria reveal the horrific reality facing Christians targeted in ongoing attacks. Advocates say the violence is systematic and underreported. Alex Barbir of Building Zion, recently back from Nigeria, explains why the persecution crisis is worse than many realize — and why believers there say they feel forgotten by the global community. LAST THING: Matthew 5:10-12 — “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” PRAY WITH US!

What's the most valuable piece of real estate on earth?In this episode, we explore the 37 acres in Jerusalem that have shaped history, ignited global tension, and anchored the worship of generations. Long before it became known as the Temple Mount, it was a simple threshing floor—purchased by King David at the end of his reign.But this was more than a land transaction.It was a moment of repentance.A lesson in leadership.A reminder that God can redeem even our greatest failures.Join Bobo as he examines David's final years, the danger of trusting numbers over God, and the powerful truth that redemption often begins at the very place of our mistakes.You can order the devotionals at https://amzn.to/4h8zFe6 or https://wisdomcalling.orgFollow us on Instagram: @wisdomcallingnow

Why did Uzza, Uzza get struck down the moment he reached out to steady the Arc of the Covenants? Many people today think it was just a tragedy and poor- the poor man, he was just trying to help. But the lesson goes far deeper. It's about boundaries. Boundaries that God is protecting. Samuel and first Chronicles record it clearly. That day King David was bringing the ark back to Jerusalem, but they did not follow God's law. See we, we, we serve God's way or our serving doesn't help as much, God doesn't reward us, we are just greedy people. King David was bringing the ark back to Jerusalem but he did not follow God's laws. They didn't have the Levites carrying it on their shoulders. Instead, they copied the Philistine method, placing the ark on a new cart, treating it like an ordinary piece of furniture. Okay, just that little bit of scripture, does it tell you anything? They weren't following the law. God has laws and if you don't do it His way, He doesn't care about yours- your way, it's called insurrection. It's called disobedience. It's called irreverence. It's called you want to do it your way, your selfish independent way. God doesn't tolerate your selfish independent way. Do you ever wonder why maybe that's a reason you're in trouble a little bit? "There's a way that seems right unto man," God says, "But the end is death." The Levites were supposed to carry the ark on their shoulders, not copy the Philistines in a cattle cart. When the cart reached the threshing floor of Nacon, the ox stumbled. Uzza instinctively reached out to steady the ark and the instant his fingers touched it, his body was limp. His knees gave way and he fell, not injured, he was dead. It sounds brutal, doesn't it?

Witnesses Who Chose God Above Life Itself Today's Homily contrasts two models of leadership and discipleship . . . . . . drawn from Scripture and tradition. King David is presented as a leader chosen by God who, despite his sins, remained humble, repentant, and rooted in reverence for the Lord. His strength was not perfection, but his willingness to return to God and recognize that his authority and life came from Him. Herod, by contrast, represents a leader who hears the truth but lacks the courage to live it. Though he respects John the Baptist and is intrigued by his message, Herod allows pride, public opinion, and personal weakness to override conscience. His fear of losing face leads to the unjust execution of John. The Church then proposes St. Paul Miki and his companions as a third example . . . not merely leaders, but witnesses (martyrs) who fully embrace the truth of Christ. Unlike Herod, they do not compromise when faced with pressure or death; they proclaim that “Jesus is Lord” even from the cross. The message for Christians today is a call to moral courage: we may not face martyrdom, but we are continually asked to stand for truth, live from God, and return to Him in all things. The faithful are encouraged to pray for the strength to choose the path of David and the martyrs rather than that of Herod. Listen to this Meditation Media.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 124), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Truth (Sha'ar HaEmes) from Orchos Tzaddikim, exploring truth as the essence of God, prayer, and the heart. Key points:Calling upon Hashem in truth (Psalms 145:18) — Free the heart from worldly distractions; cleave intellect and mind solely to Hashem with constant yearning. In crisis, the first thought is “Hashem, help me”—aligning fully with God.Hisbodedus (seclusion) — Pious people seclude themselves (e.g., in a room) to connect deeply with Hashem, avoiding worldly bonds except for necessities. Avoid prayer focused only on personal needs/money/honor—that's not true avodah (service).Daily prayer for truth — Recite “V'taher libeinu l'avdecha be'emes” (purify our hearts to serve You in truth)—ensure all service is authentic, not for people, money, or ego.Return to Hashem — “Im tashuv ad Shakai tivaneh” (Job 22:23): Return without foreign thoughts separating you from God—rebuild strongly in the radiance of Shechinah.King David's truth — “Hashem, who dwells on Your holy mountain? He who walks perfectly, acts righteously, and speaks truth in his heart” (Psalms 15:1–2)—truth must be implanted in the heart, not just spoken.Early pious sages — Sold items at the heart-fixed price, refusing higher offers; write down commitments to avoid forgetting/violating inner truth.Truth's reward — “You decree a word, and it will be fulfilled for you” (Job 22:28)—truthful people's words/thoughts manifest; their dealings (business, lending) reflect unwavering honesty.The rabbi stresses: in a materialistic world, seclude daily (e.g., 10–30 minutes without devices) for true dveikut (cleaving to God). Prayer is face-to-face with Hashem—prepare with 60 seconds of contemplation. Truth in heart ensures fulfilled words and divine closeness._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 21, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 9, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Welcome to Day 2793 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2793 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 110:1-7 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2793 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-three 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. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Priest-King of the Cosmos – The Coronation of the Ultimate Human. Today, we arrive at what might be the most significant mountain peak in the entire Old Testament. We are standing at the base of Psalm One Hundred Ten, and we will be trekking through the entire psalm, verses one through seven, in the New Living Translation. In our previous journey through Psalm One Hundred Nine, we stood in a courtroom. We saw David as a defendant, surrounded by accusers. We saw him destitute, weak, and pleading for help. That psalm ended with a vision of God standing at the "right hand" of the poor to save him. But today, the scene shifts dramatically. The courtroom is gone. The weakness is gone. Psalm One Hundred Ten opens the door to the Throne Room of the Universe. We are no longer looking at a needy human King David; we are looking at a Divine figure who is invited to sit at the right hand of Yahweh Himself. This short psalm—only seven verses long—is the most frequently quoted Old Testament chapter in the New Testament. Jesus quoted it to stump the Pharisees. Peter quoted it on the Day of Pentecost. The author of Hebrews built his entire theology of the priesthood around it. Why? Because this psalm unveils the mystery of the Messiah. It reveals a figure who is both a conquering King and an eternal Priest—a combination that was legally impossible under the Law of Moses. It gives us a glimpse into the Divine Council, where the Father invites the Son to rule over the chaos of the nations. So, take off your sandals, for we are standing on holy ground. Let us listen to the conversation between the Father and the Son. The first segment is: The Oracle of the Throne: The Two Powers in Heaven. Psalm One Hundred Ten: verse one. The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet." The psalm begins with an explosion of theological depth. "The Lord said to my Lord..." In the Hebrew text, this reads: "The oracle of Yahweh to my Adonai." David, the King of Israel, is writing this. He is the highest human authority in the land. Yet, he is eavesdropping on a conversation in the heavenly realm. He hears Yahweh (God the Father) speaking to someone David calls "my Lord" (Adoni). Who could possibly be David's Lord? David had no human superior. This is the question Jesus asked the Pharisees in Matthew Twenty-two. If the Messiah is merely David's son (a human descendant), why does David call Him "Lord"? The answer lies in the Divine Council worldview. David is seeing a figure who is...

Dr. Titus Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute. He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula and has directed archaeological projects in Bible lands. He's researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world with involvement in projects at 18 sites spanning 6 countries and has conducted artifact research at museums and collections around the world. He is the author of several books including: Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries that Bring the Bible to Life, Excavating the Evidence for Jesus, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands: Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean World and the newly released, Archaeology and the People of the Bible: Exploring the Evidence for the Historical Existence of Bible Characters. People are sometimes skeptical about the Bible's historical accuracy. While they may begrudgingly admit that the Bible is correct about certain cities or other locations, they have a harder time believing that the characters were real. So are the examples that Dr. Kennedy points to firm, probable, tentative or speculative? Also, how does he know that his discoveries are related to that exact name in the Bible? These questions are answered showing the historic and scientific honesty that Dr. Kennedy brings to his research and that's therefore displayed in his book. So join Jim and Dr. Kennedy on this audio journey as they discuss the archaeological evidence for various Bible characters such as Danel from Ezekiel, King David, King Ahab, Jezebel, Sanballat and Herod the 1st.

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “What's the point?” after praying the same daily prayer for months—or even years—without seeing breakthrough? In this episode, Alyssa Rahn speaks directly to the heart of the woman who is weary, discouraged, and quietly battling doubt. When prayers for your husband, children, marriage, business, or finances seem unanswered, it's easy for doubt—and even resentment—to creep in. You may know God is faithful, yet still feel guilt for questioning whether He's truly working behind the scenes. This episode offers deep biblical encouragement for the moments when faith feels fragile. Using a powerful fitness analogy and Scripture from the Psalms, Alyssa reminds you that doubt doesn't mean you're failing God—it means you're human. You'll hear how even King David wrestled with doubt, despair, and unanswered prayers—and how he chose to return to truth, praise, and remembrance. Alyssa also breaks down how our emotions are not meant to lead us, and how the Holy Spirit helps anchor us in truth when feelings try to take over. This conversation is especially for the woman standing in the gap for her family, navigating unseen spiritual warfare, and learning how to keep praying without losing heart.
