Podcast appearances and mentions of king jehoshaphat

We continue in our timeline of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah today. Remember that King Ahab has died, but at this point Elijah is still alive. Ahab's son Ahaziah is now on the throne, but he won't outlive the Lord's prophecy against Ahab which says that his family line would come to an end in the next generation. King Jehoshaphat continues to reign in Judah and partner with the kings of Israel, pointing each king to consult the Lord through his prophets. And speaking of the prophets, in today's episode Elijah passes his mantle to Elisha who receives a double portion of Elijah's spirit.2 Kings 1 - 1:13 . 2 Kings 2 - 5:45 . 2 Kings 3 - 12:21 . 2 Kings 4 - 18:26 . Psalm 98 - 27:28 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 169 of our year-long journey through the Scriptures. We begin with the dramatic stories of First Kings 20-21, witnessing the confrontations between King Ahab, Ben-Hadad, and the tragic story of Naboth's vineyard. We continue into Second Chronicles 17, where King Jehoshaphat's faithfulness brings strength and blessing to Judah. Our reading concludes in Colossians 3, with the Apostle Paul's powerful reminder to embrace our new life in Christ and to clothe ourselves with love, forgiveness, and gratitude. Hunter brings these ancient texts to life, reflecting on God's impartial love, the futility of viewing our relationship with Him as transactional, and the good news that we are all included and deeply loved. Join us as we listen, pray, and let the truth of God's Word shape our hearts today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God has no favorites. I have three daughters and there have been times in life when people have asked me, Hunter, who's your favorite? And I have to chuckle when I hear that because my mind doesn't even go there. I don't think in terms of one daughter being favored over another because they're all my kids. They're my girls. I love them dearly. I have no favorites. And we're told that God has no favorites. We are all his children. It doesn't matter whether we're Abigail, Magdalene, or Eden Hunter, or Heather, or you, or whoever. It doesn't matter. Whether we are Jew or Gentile, circumcised, uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave or free, it doesn't matter. Christ is all that matters. He is the favored one. And we—our lives—are hidden in his. That's what Paul says. Our real life is hidden with God in Christ, the favored one. He has no favorites because we're all favored. We're all loved. We've been included. God has reconciled the whole world to himself. Paul says he has no favorites because we are all loved by him. And that, my friend, is such good news. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see who I am in Christ, favored and loved. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, too—for my daughters, for my wife, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever and ever. Amen.

Today we get to hear from Guest preacher Carter Kiser.Carter brings a powerful message from 2 Chronicles 20:1-12 titled “On Whom We Can Rely.” When crisis strikes, what do we turn to—and what does that reveal about what we truly believe? Carter walks us through the story of King Jehoshaphat, whose moment of fear became a turning point of faith. Instead of relying on alliances or strength, Jehoshaphat turned to God, naming His faithfulness, power, justice, and willingness to act. This sermon invites us to do the same—naming the character of God in our prayers and remembering that even when we don't know what to do, we can keep our eyes on the One who does. It's a timely encouragement to rely not on ourselves, but on the God who has always proven Himself trustworthy.

How does God's grace break through even in our failures? We look at 2 Kings 3 and how King Joram's half-hearted rejection of idolatry and King Jehoshaphat's questionable alliance leads to crisis. But God miraculously provides anyway. Listen now to hear how Jesus also makes us recipients of undeserved grace.

Colby closes out the Popular series with 2 Chronicles 7:14, which is often used in times of national turmoil as a call for revival. In its original context, this verse is set against the backdrop of Solomon's temple dedication, but it still carries a timeless message for us today. In it, God gives a spiritual roadmap for personal and collective revival—humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face, and turn from sin. The story of King Jehoshaphat facing overwhelming odds beautifully illustrates how this principle works in practice. When we acknowledge our powerlessness and fix our eyes on God, He fights our battles. This message challenges us to move beyond passive hope to active, authentic worship. It's a call to rediscover our identity in Christ, to let go of pride and self-pity, and to trust in God's promises even when circumstances seem dire. As we apply this principle, we're not just observers but participants in God's ongoing work of restoration in our lives and our world.

This Week's Text: 2 Chronicles 20:1-23When a large army from Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir threatened Judah, King Jehoshaphat responded with fear but turned to God in prayer and called for a national fast. He gathered the people to seek the Lord and prayed, acknowledging God's power and past faithfulness, and confessed their helplessness in the face of the enemy. God answered through the prophet Jahaziel, declaring that the battle belonged to Him and that the people of Judah would not need to fight. The next day, Jehoshaphat encouraged the people to trust God, and appointed singers to lead in praise as they marched. As they worshiped, God caused confusion among the enemy forces, leading them to destroy each other completely.

"He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's." 2 Chronicles 20:15,"When the battle feels too big, remember it's already in God's hands; your role is to trust, not to tremble." In 2 Chronicles 20:15, the prophet Jahaziel tells Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah not to fear; he assures them that they do not need to fight this battle themselves, because it belongs to God. Imagine facing an overwhelming challenge, feeling like victory is out of reach. But what if you could hand over that burden to someone who never loses? That's the essence of faith—surrendering your battles to God, who fights for you.The story of Jehoshaphat illustrates this beautifully. When faced with a formidable enemy, he didn't rely on his own strength. Instead, he turned to God in prayer, seeking His guidance. God responded with reassurance, instructing him to stand firm and witness the salvation He would provide. Like Jehoshaphat, when we place our trust in God, we can approach any situation with confidence, knowing He has already won the ultimate victory.Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you to be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”"Our might doesn't win victory, but by surrendering the fight to the One who never loses." In other words, our strength is limited, but God's power knows no bounds. As we allow Him to take command of our lives, we find peace amidst chaos. It's not about fighting harder; it's about yielding our struggles to His capable hands and trusting in His divine plan."Let God command the battlefield—faith is our shield, and His Word our sword." Ephesians 6:10-11 encourages us to be strong in the Lord and put on the full armor of God. With Him as our defender, we can face every fear and challenge with courage and resilience. Remember, each time you feel overwhelmed, you are not alone; God walks beside you, ready to fight your battles. Amen. Romans 8:31 says, "What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, thank You for being our mighty warrior. Help us to surrender our fears and challenges into Your hands. Grant us the strength to trust in Your power and guidance as we navigate life's battles. May we always remember that with You by our side, victory is assured. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. https://maglife.org

Worship isn't just for Sunday, it's your anchor for Monday stress, Tuesday chaos, and every battle life throws your way. In this powerful message, Pastor David continues with the Rooted series by exploring what it means to be Rooted in Worship. Through the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20, you'll discover how worship: Roots you in God's truth, Grounds you in God's presence, and Builds up God's strength in you.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

What happens when life's pressures tempt us to seek the help of "lesser gods"? In this sermon, we move from the end of 1 Kings to 2 Kings and see how King Jehoshaphat's compromises and King Ahaziah's idolatry led to devastating consequences. But God intervenes in all of our desperate moments to offer opportunities for repentance rather than judgment. Most importantly, we see how Jesus perfectly walks with God where these kings failed. Listen now and be inspired to choose God's voice over the false promises of shortcuts!

Pastor Jim transitions from First Kings into Second Kings, highlighting how the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah reflects the spiritual fractures that led to exile. He contrasts the partial faithfulness of King Jehoshaphat with the outright rebellion of King Ahaziah, showing how both compromise and idolatry have consequences. Through Elijah's confrontation with Ahaziah and the powerful reminder that “there is a God in Israel,” Jim calls listeners to examine where they turn in distress, and to respond to God's word with repentance rather than resistance.

In the message, "EYES ON GOD," Pastor Agustin Chie explores 2 Chronicles 20:1–21, highlighting the power of unwavering faith when facing overwhelming battles. As enemies surrounded Judah, King Jehoshaphat led the people not in panic, but in prayer. Instead of trusting in numbers or strength, they lifted their eyes to the Lord, declaring, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.” Pastor Agustin reminds us that when we fix our eyes on God, He fights the battles we cannot win on our own.The message emphasizes that victory doesn't always come through strategy or might, but through surrender and worship. As the people of Judah praised, God set ambushes against their enemies—proving once again that He is faithful when His people choose trust over fear. The message concludes with a powerful reminder that worship isn't a response to victory—it precedes it.We hope this message inspires you to lift your gaze above the chaos and fix your heart on the One who holds every battle in His hands. As we now speak this passage as our new benediction, may it anchor you in the truth that when your eyes are on God, the victory is already His.

A message from Ian Byrd, Apostolic Team Leader of Lifelinks International on Sunday 27th April. In 2 Chronicles, chapter 20, we read about King Jehoshaphat whose army was faced with huge enemy armies. Turning to God, he prayed in front of the community of Judah and Jerusalem and admitted that he and his army were utterly powerless and dependent upon Him. In order to be successful and overcome the enemies that we face in life, we too need to take three key steps. Firstly, we need to give up and let go of the worthless idols in our lives. Secondly, we need to look up in prayer to God and worship Him, remembering all that he has done. Finally, we need to step up in obedience to God, being faithful even in the smallest of things. -------- For more information about Breathe New Life Church or if you'd like to make a decision to follow Jesus, visit our website here: https://breathenewlife.church/becomeachristian

In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat confronts a formidable army threatening Judah and turns to God in prayer. The Lord assures him through the prophet Jahaziel that the battle is His, urging trust and action. This passage emphasizes surrendering challenges to God, who fights for us and transforms struggles into opportunities.

What does a revival look like? How do we start one? Today we touch upon this important topic as we look at the "Bible Conference" Revival under King Jehoshaphat. We'll see that when we teach God's Word faithfully and accurately, God will use His Word to strengthen His people in every way. Join us!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    How did the unity we saw yesterday in 2 Chronicles 15:9 carry over into the opening verses of 2 Chronicles 17:1-2?  2.    In verse 2, who did Jehoshaphat seek? Whose character did Jehoshaphat reflect in verse 3? What role do you think Jehoshaphat's father King Asa had on the development of his own faith in the Lord? 3.    How did the Lord view Jehoshaphat and what did He do for him? Why was the Lord willing to bless kings who followed Him in this way? In other words, whose kingdom were these obedient kings really serving? How do we see this principle unfold in verse 6? 4.    What was the spark that lit this revival in verse 7? What was the purpose of this action? What were they teaching in verse 9? 5.    In verse 7, how long was Jehoshaphat king before he sent out these teachers? Why do you think it took him this long?  6.    In verse 10, what view did the surrounding nations have of Judah? Where did this come from? 7.    Who brought tribute to Jehoshaphat in verse 11? Does this surprise you? Why? How does this reflect the principle of Proverbs 16:7 that the Lord will make even our enemies at peace with us?  8.    How did the events of verses 12 to 19 bring strength to Judah? Given your answers in Question #3, “whose” kingdom was being strengthened? 9.    It has been pointed out that revivals often follow times of darkness. What darkness had been going on in Israel and Judah? How did this darkness prepare them to embrace the light of God's truths when taught to them? 10.    Where do we have darkness in our world? How can you be part of bringing God's truth to the people around you? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon!

Louise shares a timely and necessary reminder: not every voice speaking “in the name of God” is actually sent by Him.Drawing from 1 Kings 22, she breaks down the story of King Ahab, King Jehoshaphat, and the 400 prophets who spoke falsely—exposing how easy it is to be led astray when we only want to hear what feels good.

[2 Chronicles 20:1-4] After this, the armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites declared war on Jehoshaphat. [2] Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, "A vast army from Edom is marching against you from beyond the Dead Sea. They are already at Hazazon-tamar." (This was another name for En-gedi.) [3] Jehoshaphat was terrified by this news and begged the LORD for guidance. He also ordered everyone in Judah to begin fasting. [4] So people from all the towns of Judah came to Jerusalem to seek the LORD's help.The ________________ you are facing is not yours to ________________.The moment you __________________, God steps in and fights for you.[2 Chronicles 20:15] He said, "Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem!

This is what they sang: "Give thanks to the LORD; his faithful love endures forever!" [22] At the very moment they began to sing and give praise, the LORD caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to start fighting among themselves.________________ is a ______________ in spiritual battles.There is _______________ on the other side of your praise.[Romans 8:35, 37] Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love?

In 2 Chr. 17:3-6, remarkable things are said of King Jehoshaphat, culminating in a Hebrew word play that correlates the state of Jehoshaphat's heart with the Asherim that he tears down while seeking to elevate the Lord.

Check out our RCH Merch! https://radiocoffeehouse.com/collections/merch  ------ In this engaging episode of the Radio Coffee House, Clint Armitage broadcasts from Colton, California, diving into the intriguing topic of arrogance versus confidence. With a focus on the charismatic figure of Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, Clint explores whether Sanders' bold demeanor stems from confidence or arrogance. Through a recent clip from the Tamron Hall Show, listeners will hear Sanders discuss his expectations for success and the importance of unwavering self-belief. Clint notes how Sander's confidence can sometimes be perceived as arrogance. Sanders adds that this often happens particularly when it challenges the insecurities of others. However, Clint argues that what shines through in Sanders' words is a profound sense of "Godfidence," a confidence rooted in faith and a strong connection to God. Transitioning from the sports world to biblical wisdom, Clint introduces the story of King Jehoshaphat from 2 Chronicles 20, who faced a vast army threatening his people. Jehoshaphat's response to fear—turning to God in prayer—serves as a powerful reminder of where true confidence lies. Clint emphasizes that while we may experience fear and anxiety, it's essential to seek God's guidance and trust in His plans. As the episode unfolds, Clint encourages listeners to embrace their own Godfidence, reminding us that God calls us to show up for the battles in our lives, even when the odds seem stacked against us. Tune in to discover how to cultivate a mindset of confidence rooted in faith, allowing you to navigate life's challenges with grace and strength. -----  

Wednesday Bible Study 02:12:25 - Lessons from the life of King Jehoshaphat by vbcchino

In this message, Pastor Harrison Conley shares how to pray in times of trouble, drawing from 2 Chronicles 20:1-22. Through the story of King Jehoshaphat, we learn the power of making prayer our first response, remembering who God is, and responding in faith.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 307, “Choose Your Allies Wisely,” Kim discusses the dangers of making alliances without consulting with and blessing of the Lord. We saw this played out as King Jehoshaphat made peace with King Ahab, one of the most evil rulers of all time, and then had a business alliance with King Ahaziah, who followed in the wicked footsteps of Ahab and Jezebel. May we learn from King Jehoshaphat's mistakes and only enter into alliances prayerfully and wisely.   Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 22:41-53 and 2 Chronicles 20:31-37 with 2 Chronicles 20:37 as the focal verse:   37 Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat. He said, “Because you have allied yourself with King Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy your work.” So the ships met with disaster and never put out to sea.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Who are your current allies? How would the Lord assess each relationship?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   33 Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33) 1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel. 2 Then during the third year, King Jehoshaphat of Judah went to visit King Ahab of Israel. 3 During the visit, the king of Israel said to his officials, “Do you realize that the town of Ramoth-gilead belongs to us? And yet we've done nothing to recapture it from the king of Aram!” 4 Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will you join me in battle to recover Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “Why, of course! You and I are as one. My troops are your troops, and my horses are your horses.” (1 Kings 22:1-4) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com TWITTER - https://twitter.com/EOinLovingJesus INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

A Sermon for the Third Sunday after the Epiphany St. John 2:1-11 by William Klock On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee.  Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.   “On the third day.”  All through the first week of John's Gospel he tells us, “On the next day…on the next day,” but now it's not just the next day, but the third day.  That should resonate with us.  John knew that a Christian can't—or shouldn't be able to—hear “the third day” and not think of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.  John's Gospel is a story of the birth of God's new creation and it culminates on the third day after Jesus was crucified, the day when Jesus burst from the tomb, triumphant over sin and death to inaugurate God's new world.  Already here at the beginning of the story John wants us to anticipate, to be looking forward to Jesus' resurrection.  God, in Jesus the Messiah, is going to do something amazing this day—something will show a bit of his new creation and reveal his glory. So Mary and Jesus are invited to a wedding in Cana and Jesus' disciples along with him.  Cana was small village just a few kilometres from Nazareth.  The people of one town would have known the people of the other.  Many of them would have been related, which explains why Mary and Jesus were invited.  One Second Century extra-biblical source says that Mary and the groom's mother were sisters.  Another fairly early source claims that the groom's mother was Mary's sister, Salome—which would make the groom none other than John.  It's hard to say how reliable these traditions are.  They're not inspired scripture.  But if they're true they certainly make sense of the details in the story.  John tells it as someone who was an eyewitness. Weddings in that world were a big deal.  Way more of a big deal than even the biggest weddings are in our culture.  The whole thing would begin with a feast.  The actual ceremony would follow later in the evening.  Once married, the guests, carrying torches, would parade the couple to their new home.  They would wind their way through the town, taking the longest route possible so that the guests could wish them well for as long as possible.  But that wasn't the end of it.  The bride and groom didn't go away on a honeymoon.  Instead, they would keep an open house for the rest of the week.  They'd dress like a king and queen while they entertained their guests.  You can imagine how big a deal and what a time of celebration and happiness this would be in a time and place when people were poor and spent their lives in hard work. Picture the festivities.  People eating and drinking, celebrating the bride and groom, and enjoying themselves.  It was a reminder for them of what the Lord had promised it would be like on the day when he would finally return to set his world to rights.  The Prophet Isaiah had written: On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all the peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever. (Isaiah 25:6-8) The world was not as it was supposed to be, but a wedding gave the people an opportunity to look forward to the day when the Lord would visit them, wipe away their tears, and defeat their enemies—even, somehow, death itself. Now as we're picturing this great celebration, John writes that the wine ran out. This was bad.  Really, really bad.  There was no such thing as teetotaling in Jesus' day.  The rabbis said that without wine there is no joy.  You couldn't have a feast without it.  That doesn't mean they were all drunk.  The Bible condemns drunkenness and so did Jewish society, but they nevertheless enjoyed their wine as one of God's great gifts.  So to run out of wine at a wedding was a party killer.  More than that, it was a disgrace to the groom.  Hospitality was a big deal and the groom was responsible for being hospitable to his guests.  But where did all the wine come from?  The groom's family provided some, but so did the guests.  Depending on their relation with the groom and whether or not they were married or unmarried, there was an expectation amongst the male guests of reciprocal gifts.  An unmarried relative might bring ten dinars worth of wine to the feast with the expectation that when it was his wedding day, the groom would return the favour with ten dinars of wine himself.  For others, the groom's generous hospitality at this wedding was in return for the hospitality they had once shown to him.  If the wine ran out, it wasn't just a social disgrace for the groom—it could heap financial obligations on him that would be hard to repay.  Remember, these weren't wealthy people.  Cana was a small country village. So the wine ran out.  Maybe it was even Jesus' fault.  It's hard to say whether or not he would have been expected to bring his own gifts of wine.  That sort of thing was probably beyond his means.  But regardless of that, he shows up at the wedding with his disciples.  How many is also hard to say.  Up to this point, John has only told us of four, but John tells the story out of order, so that doesn't mean all twelve—or even more—weren't there with Jesus.  In a situation where people would have taken great pains to make sure there was enough wine for everyone, the presence of Jesus and his disciples may explain why it ran out. The worried servants went to the hostess, the groom's mother to tell her disaster had struck.  Mary—possible her sister—was there with her.  Maybe—again, I'm speculating—but maybe that's why they went to her first: “Your son and his friends were guzzling away despite having brought no wine themselves!”  And so, John writes, “Mary, Jesus' mother, said to him, “They have no wine!”  Whatever the case, it's clear that Mary told Jesus because she expected him to do something about it.  And by do something about it, I don't mean ducking out for a quick stop at the Cana liquor store to grab a case of wine.  Getting more wine wasn't nearly that easy.  I think it's pretty clear that Mary was expecting some kind of miracle even though, by all accounts, this would be Jesus' first.  But Mary knew who he was, she knew that he'd finally begun his ministry, she knew he'd been baptised by John and had heard all about that whole scene with the heaven's being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.  She'd met these men he'd been calling as his disciples.  Mary knew: it was time for the Messiah to start doing Messiah things and what better opportunity—and especially so if Jesus and his disciples were the reason why the groom was in this awful spot. And yet, John writes, Jesus replied, “Oh woman!  What's that got to do with you and me?  My time hasn't yet come.” What does Jesus mean?  He responds to Mary with a phrase that's found quite a few times through the Old Testament.  Specifically, though, I think Jesus is deliberately recalling an episode from the ministry of the Prophet Elisha.  In 2 Kings 3 we read about the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom.  They were on their way to do battle with Moab.  Their armies had been travelling for a week and had run out of water.  They were thirst—just like the wedding guests were about to be thirsty.  The King of Israel was wailing that the Lord had sent them out only to be defeated by the Moabites, but King Jehoshaphat—the King of Judah—told them that the Prophet Elisha was nearby and they should go to him and inquire of the Lord.  Elisha wasn't keen on Jehoshaphat's request.  “What's that got to do with you and me?” he asks the King.  (Those are the same words Jesus says to Mary.)  But Jehoshaphat insists.  The Lord had sent them to battle Moab, but without water Moab would defeat them.  So Elisha finally relents to the King's request and the Lord speaks through him: “You shall see no wind or rain, but the streambed will be filled with water…and he will also give the Moabites into your hand.”  And, sure thing, the next morning a nearby stream was filled with water.  Not only that, they defeated the Moabites just as the Lord had promised. That Jesus adds that it wasn't yet his time, I think highlights that what Mary is asking of him runs a very good chance of getting him into trouble.  Jesus hadn't yet officially launched his public ministry, but doing what Mary was asking him to do would get him noticed and being exposed as Messiah—well—it was bound to spark opposition.  But I have to think that Mary knew her Bible and recognised Jesus' echo of Elisha.  She knew he would do something and so she turns to the servants—again, this suggests that she was an insider to this family and was involved with the preparations for the feast—she turns to the servants and she tells them what to do with her own quote echoing the Bible: “Do whatever he tells you to do.” Those were the words of Pharaoh to the Egyptians when he put Joseph in charge of Egypt.  Remember Pharoah's dreams about the grain and the cows and how Joseph interpreted them to mean that Egypt was about to experience seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine.  Pharaoh was impressed with Joseph's wisdom and put him in charge of Egypt.  For seven years the crown would store up as much grain as possible for the famine to come.  Pharaoh presented Joseph to the people and said, “Do whatever he tells you to do.”  And Joseph, because the Lord was with him, saved Egypt.  And now Jesus, because the Lord is with him, will save the wedding.  Like Joseph saving the Egyptians.  Like the Lord causing that dry streambed to run with water. So, John writes, “Six stone water-jars were standing there, ready for use in the Jewish purification rites.  Each held about twenty or thirty gallons.” Big stone jars.  This was the water used to wash people's feet when they came in from the streets and it was the water they used to wash their hands before a meal and between courses, so that they would be ritually pure.  The jars were big and there were so many of them, because the water was usually poured into a mikvah—like a big bath that could be used for immersion.  Presumably these had already been emptied into the mikvah and were standing empty.  John writes: “‘Fill the jars with water,' said Jesus to the servants.  And they filled them, right up to the brim.”  This was no small thing for them to do.  Did they have to carry the water to the jars or the jars to the water?  Whichever it was, there would have been a lot of heaving and grunting and it would have taken time to fill those six big, heavy jars.  But they obeyed.  Then Jesus said, “‘Now draw some out and take it to the chief steward.'  They did so,” writes John. Surely they could see and smell the wine as they drew it out and you can imagine them running excitedly to the chief steward.  He was sort of the ancient Jewish equivalent of a wedding planner and head waiter for the wedding.  He had no idea that the wine had run out.  He was just wondering what had taken the servants so long to bring more.  John goes on, “When the chief steward tasted the water that had turned into wine (he didn't know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew), he called the bride-groom.” The chief steward is confused.  This wine was good.  Really good.  Better than anything they'd served so far.  I'll go so far as to say that since Jesus made it, it was probably the best wine anyone has ever tasted in the history of the human race before or since.  And so the steward went to the groom.  It was too late now, but he had to say it: “What everybody normally does,” he said, “is to serve the good wine first, and then the worse stuff when people have had plenty to drink.  But you've kept the good wine until now!” I can only imagine the groom's confusion?  What's this guy talking about?  We did serve the best wine first.  And then he took a sip and was even more confused.  The steward was right.  This was the best.  In fact, it was better than any wine he'd ever had—certainly better than any wine he could afford, better than any wine made in Cana or even the whole of Galilee.  And what they'd find before too long wasn't just that it was the best wine ever, but that there was no danger of it running out.  If you do the math, those six stone jars full to the brim with wine work out to about 900 modern bottles of wine.  Jesus never skimped, because God's new creation is all about abundance.  Like the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, there was always plenty left over.  It pointed to the new thing God was doing in Jesus.  These miracles reminded people of God's provision of manna in the wilderness, but whereas there was ever only enough manna for the day and anything left over would spoil, in Jesus God's abundant provision was a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.  Brothers and Sisters, that's God's amazing grace. John then wraps up his telling of the wedding saying, “This event, in Cana of Galilee, was the first of Jesus' signs.  He displayed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.” He displayed his glory—that's kind of the theme of John's whole Gospel.  And seeing his glory, the disciples believed.  I have to think others at that feast believed too.  The quality and the abundance of the wine—imagine the people of that little village scrambling for skins to hold all that wine so it didn't go to waste—they saw the promises of God, the words of the prophets beginning to come true.  As it turns out, it was indeed Jesus' time.  In the very next episode John tells, Jesus goes to the temple in Jerusalem and throws out the money-changers and the merchants and announces the coming destruction of the temple and a new one that he will build in three days.  There's John reminding us about those three days again. But the disciples.  Jesus had just been calling them.  First, Andrew and Peter, who had been disciples of John the Baptist, and then Philip and Nathanael.  And here, John says, they believed.  Just the day before Nathanael had said to Jesus, “You're the son of God.  You're the king of Israel.”  “Wait a minute,” Jesus said back to him, “Are you telling me that you believe just because I told you I saw you under the fig tree?  You'll see a lot more than that!  In fact, I'm telling you the solemn truth.  You'll see heaven opened, and God's angels ascending and descending on the son of man.”  And see he did.  I wonder if Nathanael had any idea he'd see such great things so soon.  Again, John says that the disciples saw the sign and they believed. That was the purpose of Jesus' signs.  With each one he planted another signpost pointing his people towards God's new creation.  This time the wine was the signpost, pointing to that feast for all the peoples, the feast of rich food, the feast of well-aged wines the prophet had foretold.  In Jesus the God of Israel was on the move—turning famine into feast, sparing his people from disaster, saving the day—leading the people towards God's new creation. Again, when John gives us details, they're always rich with symbolism.  Those six stone jars for the rites of purification are one of those symbols.  The stone jars are symbolic of the law and of the old covenant.  Jesus doesn't ignore them or smash them.  They served a good purpose.  Just as the old covenant was God's way of preparing his people for the new, Jesus fills those jars with his wine.  He made them useless for their original purpose in order to serve a new and better one—to usher in a feast where no one would ever again have to worry about being unclean, because the son of God has shed his own blood to make us clean once and for all. That's the final sign in John's Gospel. At the end—after Thomas has examined Jesus' wounds—on the third day—John writes that “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which aren't written in this book.  But these are written so that you may believe that the Messiah, the son of God, is none other than Jesus; and that, with faith, you may have life in his name.”  Jesus' resurrection was the final and ultimate signpost.  Follow it in faith and you become part of God's new creation yourself, washed clean by Jesus and filled with God's Spirit. And that brings us to a final point.  Those words of Mary, quoting Joseph: “Do whatever he tells you to do.”  Brothers and Sisters, believing—faith—produces obedience.  Obedience isn't always easy.  Think of those servants and the big stone jars and 120 gallons of water.  It was through the faithful obedience of those servants that Jesus manifested God's new creation at the wedding.  And so it is with us.  Brothers and Sisters, we have seen his glory.  Now we follow—we obey—in faith.  Kingdom work is hard work, but it is joyful work.  It's work that wipes away the tears of the people around us.  It's work that brings God's abundant grace to the lost.  It's work that reinforces our hope.  God will surely set this broken world to rights as the good news of Jesus, crucified and risen, goes out—light spreading in the darkness.  But remember, it doesn't go out by itself and more than that wine made it to the steward and the guests all by itself.  That's why God's called us—just as he called John to tell his story.  He's forgiven us by the blood of Jesus and made us his own; he's equipped us by filling us with his own Spirit, and he's given us—he's made us stewards of—the story, of the gospel, of the good news.  We're the servants joyfully carrying Jesus' wine to the wedding guests that might rejoice and be glad and see his glory. So come to Jesus' Table this morning.  The Lord's Supper is another of his signposts pointing to his kingdom.  Come and feast.  Eat his bread and drink his wine, then go out in faith to do whatever he tells you.  Go out to live and to proclaim the good news of Jesus the Messiah that all the world might see God's glory. Let's pray: Heavenly Father, in Jesus you have shown us your glory.  Strengthen us now that might be faithful stewards of your good news, going out in faith to make your gospel of glory known to the world.  Through Jesus our Lord we pray.  Amen.  

When they were surrounded by enemies and their back was up against the wall, all that King Jehoshaphat and the army of Judah did was trust God. And God fought the battle for them. And on today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will remind us that it’s just like the good news of Jesus Christ. We have strong enemies that stand against us—the world, the flesh and the Devil—but we don’t have to fight them on our own because Jesus already did.

On today's Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will continue our study in 2 Chronicles 20, and he’ll remind us how King Jehoshaphat and the army of Judah were in a predicament. They were besieged, and in addition to being severely outnumbered, they didn’t have enough weapons. They didn’t have the right resources, and they didn’t even really have the guts to stand up to their enemies. But they realized that God was going to be there, because they knew that battle is the Lord’s. So, they chose to praise the Lord, instead of fearing their circumstances.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 304, “When I Am ‘Terrified', to Whom Do I Turn?” Kim discusses the importance of making the Lord our 911 go-to when we are troubled. King Jehoshaphat of Judah modeled this principle when he was terrified for himself and his people. His prayer is an inspiration for us all.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 20:1-12 with 3 as the focal verse:   3 Jehoshaphat was terrified by this news and begged the Lord for guidance. He also ordered everyone in Judah to begin fasting.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Answer the question: When I Am “Terrified,” to Whom Do I Turn?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   3 But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 303, “Act in Fear of the Lord, with Faithfulness and an Undivided Heart,” Kim discusses King Jehoshaphat's instructions to the judges who would deal with matters of faith and how those same instructions can challenge each of us. We should also be challenged by a king's commitment to seeking God and encouraging the people to do the same. How would the world be changed if we had leaders wholly committed to the Lord?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 19:1-11 with 4 and 9 as the focal verses:   4 Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, but he went out among the people, traveling from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, encouraging the people to return to the Lord, the God of their ancestors.   These were his instructions to them: “You must always act in the fear of the Lord, with faithfulness and an undivided heart.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Prayerfully rate yourself in these three areas: (1) Acting in the fear of the Lord; (2) Faithfulness; (3) Undivided Heart.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. (Proverbs 1:7) 24 But be sure to fear the Lord and faithfully serve him. Think of all the wonderful things he has done for you. (1 Samuel 12:24) If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. (Jeremiah 29:13) 11 Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. 12 With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God. I will give glory to your name forever, (Ps. 86:11-12) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com TWITTER - https://twitter.com/EOinLovingJesus INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus     I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES:   In Podcast Episode 302, “Where's Your Mission Field?” Kim discusses the example set by King Jehoshaphat of Judah as he used his resources to send out leaders to teach the Law of the Lord to the people. His primary mission field was the Southern Kingdom, and he was faithful to send his own “missionaries” out. All Christ-followers have mission fields to reach with the Gospel. As you look at Acts 1:8, ask yourself these questions: (1) Where is my Jerusalem? My Judea? My Samaria? (2) How am I impacting the “ends of the earth”?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 17:7-19 with 9 as the focal verse:   9 They took copies of the Book of the Law of the Lord and traveled around through all the towns of Judah, teaching the people.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   What are your current mission fields?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Pray for an unreached people group daily - Joshua Project EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com TWITTER - https://twitter.com/EOinLovingJesus INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

In his sermon, Pastor Jason emphasizes the power of Thanksgiving as a crucial response to life's challenges, drawing from the story of King Jehoshaphat. When faced with a vast army, Jehoshaphat sought the Lord, fasted, and led the people in prayers of praise, demonstrating that gratitude can shift the spiritual atmosphere and redirect impending attacks. He illustrates that when the people praised God, He set ambushes against their enemies, leading to their victory and abundant blessings. Ultimately, Jason encourages the congregation to place their trust in God through Thanksgiving, as it leads to peace and rest in difficult times.Thank you for tuning into today's message at Bold City Church!
