Podcast appearances and mentions of king david

There’s a poignant scene near the end of Frederick Buechner’s novel Brendan. The character Gildas stands up to reveal one of his legs missing from the knee down. As he reaches for his walking stick, he loses his balance. Brendan leaps up and catches him. “I’m as crippled as the dark world,” Gildas says. “If it comes to that, which one of us isn’t?” Brendan replies. “To lend each other a hand when we’re falling. Perhaps that’s the only work that matters in the end.” In 2 Samuel 9, we find King David desiring to show kindness to anyone still living from the house of Saul (v. 1). There is one, Mephibosheth, “a son of Jonathan; lame in both feet” (v. 3). Mephibosheth is ushered into the king’s presence where he hears these words: “I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table” (v. 7). And he always did. Scripture is full of unforgettable stories of David and giants and armies and kings and kingdoms—the stuff of movies. But the Bible also remembers this poignant kindness shown toward a person in need—the story of someone lending a hand to another. After all the big, flashy scenes fade, it’s possible that kindness such as David extended to Mephibosheth is the work that matters most in the end. Lending a hand is the kind of work you and I can be about each and every day.

This is a good news story. King David made a place for an undeserving outcast named Mephibosheth at his family's royal table, and the table covered his brokenness - a foreshadowing of the invitation for every one of us to be seated at table of the Most High even though we don't deserve it. ---------SUBSCRIBE ▶️ Receive our latest videos:https://www.youtube.com/c/PastorSteve...ABOUTPastor, author and speaker Steve Berger is known for his straight talk in dealing with various hot-topic cultural issues that many pastors avoid.

A Prayer to Finish In a culture that often prizes speed and instant results, what if we chose to slow down, stay focused, and trust God to bring His work in us to completion. In today's prayer by Nicolet Bell,we look at the story of Solomon completing the temple — a dream that began in the heart of his father, King David. Though David longed to build a dwelling place for God, the Lord chose Solomon to carry out the task. Instead of being resentful, David prepared his son for success by gathering materials, providing detailed plans, and encouraging him to serve God with an undivided heart. Reference: 1 Kings 6:14 Prayer: Father, I thank you for the example of Solomon to show us what hard work and perseverance looks like. His commitment to begin and finish a task, his assignment from you is an incredible witness to us. Help us to stay focused on the tasks you have given us. Guard us from distractions and sluggishness. I am confident that you who began a good work in me will carry it out to completion.

In this episode of Also Featured in the Cast, we turn our attention to the “supporting roles” in King David's story—his brothers, his wife Michal, his son Absalom, and his loyal friend Jonathan. These often-overlooked characters reveal powerful truths about envy, bitterness, rebellion, and friendship. David's brothers struggled with jealousy toward the anointing on his life. Michal allowed bitterness to consume her joy. Absalom's pride and unforgiveness led him down a tragic path of rebellion. Yet Jonathan—humble, discerning, and selfless—shines as the truest friend David ever had. Each of us has people like these in our own story. The question is not just who's in our cast—but how we respond to them. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Samuel the Prophet(00:04:40) - David's Brothers in the David Movie(00:10:37) - "Envy is the wickedest sin"(00:12:13) - The Despicable First Wife of David(00:17:44) - The Story of David and Michael(00:22:53) - The Character of Absalom(00:31:00) - Jonathon in the David Movie(00:35:56) - The Leader's Notebook

Canada and the island of Saint Lucia celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday in October. Liberia sets aside a day for giving thanks at the beginning of November, while the US and Australia mark the annual holiday at the end of the month. Other countries, including the United Kingdom, Brazil, Rwanda, and the Philippines, have unofficial days to foster gratitude. There’s something powerful about a nation collectively expressing gratitude. It’s a picture we see when King David assembled the nation of Israel to give thanks to God for His presence, protection, and promises. The celebration marked the return of the “ark of God” (1 Chronicles 16:1). The people rejoiced that the ark, a symbol of God’s presence with them, was in Jerusalem. As David led Israel in praise, he reminded them of God’s protection as the nation conquered the land of Canaan (vv.18-22) and celebrated God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises (v. 15). If you celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family, consider making it a gratitude gathering and reflecting together on the ways you’ve experienced God’s presence, protection, and promises over the past year. Whether or not you live in a country that officially celebrates Thanksgiving, each of us can take time to express gratitude to the “Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (v. 34).

Love and Torah – what's the connection? This study series is centered around the “Two Great Commands” – love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Psalm 119, verse 150, continues this teaching, where Rabbi Steve Berkson explains that those who pursue mischief have a different agenda than Yahweh and are far from His Torah. These individuals lack an intimate relationship with The Creator. They may outwardly do what is right, but their hearts are far from Him. Rabbi Berkson also explores the distinction between “mercy” and “grace/favor,” providing a clear understanding of these terms. King David, the psalmist, wrote about those who “have not sought Your Laws” and called them “the wrong ones.” Do you seek His Laws? Lashon Hara, Hebrew for “evil tongue,” is a term many people are familiar with but may be confused about its true meaning. Rabbi Berkson delves into the meaning of this term and its impact on your life and the lives of those around you. Rabbi Berkson offers some of the best life coaching available as he explores the intricate world of human relationships, including dating, marriage, and raising children. He highlights relationship attributes such as “default expectancy” and “understood expectancy,” helping you understand how these attributes can affect you. Rabbi Berkson once again dissects the words in these passages, providing a deeper understanding of what Yahweh expects of you, enabling you to fulfill His expectations and receive His blessings.

This week, Pastor Nate continues our fall spiritual growth campaign through the Songs of Ascent with Psalms 122 and 123, reminding us that the Christian life is a pilgrimage that has a pattern we see repeated in these Psalms: Desperation, Dependence, Delight. Desperation because of the sin that permeates this earth, dependence on an all-sufficient God, and delight when we arrive home in His presence! In Psalm 122, King David rejoices to go to the house of the Lord, teaching us that worship is both our destination and our purpose along the way. Worship isn't based on feelings but on truth the truth of who God is. We were created for worship, and every action we take should be a living sacrifice of praise.Then, in Psalm 123, we find ourselves back at the beginning of our pilgrimage, crying out for God's mercy. Like servants looking to their master's hand, we lift our eyes in humility to the Lord. We will see that prayer is not about demanding our way but submitting to His will and trusting His justice.Whether in joy or in trial, the journey continues: from desperation to dependence to delight. So keep walking, and remember, "Further up and further in!"

Today, we will experience Psalm 40, another transparent and poetic text from King David. Let's experience God and His Word together in worship.Psalm 40 NLTI waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols. O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal.If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand—you don't require burnt offerings or sin offerings.… I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart.… Lord, don't hold back your tender mercies from me.Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me.For troubles surround me—too many to count!My sins pile up so high I can't see my way out.They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost all courage.Please, Lord, rescue me! Come quickly, Lord, and help me.… may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you.May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!”As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in his thoughts.You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay.These words reflect a grateful heart that recognizes the reality of being rescued. The confession of being poor and needy is met with help from a Savior.Where are you today? Waiting? In need of rescue? Or grateful that God's help did arrive? No matter where you are, He is near. God is ever-present. You are in His thoughts.Listen again to David's words from the opening of this passage. Let's personalize them say them out loud as a reminder of our God being close to us right now.You lift me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.You set my feet on solid ground and steady me as I walked along.You have given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to my God.Let's pray together: “Father, thank You that You will hear our cries and lift us out of our self-laid traps. Thank You that You will then give us a new song and a new life to have the freedom to tell others about what You have done for us. Thank You for Your tender mercies, unfailing love, and faithfulness. As above, so below.”

What happens when we stop trusting God? Drawing from 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21, this message shows how King David's decision to take a census exposed the danger of self-reliance, the ripple effects of sin, but ultimately, the mercy that follows genuine repentance and sacrificial worship.

Love and Torah – what's love got to do with it? This series explores the “Two Great Commands': love Yahweh and love your neighbor. Focusing on our hearts and minds towards the Creator and His Torah, Rabbi Steve Berkson continues our journey through King David's writings in Psalm 119. Starting at verse 145, he highlights how David links petitioning God with explaining why we seek His help and why we believe He should answer. Rabbi Berkson questions whether, when we call out to the Almighty, “Answer me,” we can honestly say, “I observe Your laws.” The Creator initially made us to receive from Him. Through faith in Messiah Yeshua and living righteously, we become a ‘new creature' that moves from earthly, basic things to heavenly ones. This ‘new creature' learns to be a ‘giver,' like the Almighty. What do Jews and Christians agree on? What does Yahweh desire from you? Rabbi Berkson again breaks down these passages to deepen your understanding of Yahweh's expectations, so you can fulfill them and receive His blessings.

This week, Pastor Jonathan continues our series through the Psalms with a message from Psalm 132. In this passage, we see a prayer for God's blessing on account of King David—and God's gracious and unexpected response. Pastor Jonathan unpacks what this exchange reveals about the true source of blessing in our lives and challenges us to reframe how we view sacrifice in light of God's ultimate sacrifice for us.

I turned to King David and the Prophet Natan to learn how to fight fascism. I learned something much deeper and more sustaining for our time.

How can I respond biblically when facing a crisis? In this message from 2 Samuel 16–19, we learn from King David's example how to walk through seasons of hardship with faith and wisdom. Our prayer is that you will be encouraged to pray first, refuse to react, and listen to wise counsel, trusting that God will carry you through every trial.
