The battle for contentment is one of life's biggest challenges—even for followers of Christ. And that battle for contentment runs headlong into how we view money. What we use to purchase things. The phrase “silver and gold” appears in the scriptures no less than 58 times and we want this week to examine a handful of those texts to try and get some wisdom about money in general and silver and gold in particular. Receive Money touches so much of our daily lives, but the Bible helps us see it in the right perspective. Scripture reminds us that while money can meet needs and bless others, it was never meant to define our worth or secure our future. God cares more about shaping our character than growing our bank accounts. As we earn, spend, give, and save, we're invited to trust Him as our true provider—knowing that our ultimate security isn't found in money, but in Jesus. Reflect Read the verses connected with this episode below. As you reflect on the Scripture, what stands out to you? 2 Kings 5:5 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Acts 4:37 Mark 12:43-44 Matthew 17:24-27 1 Timothy 5:8 Ecclesiastes 5:10 Proverbs 8:10-11 Proverbs 16:16 Psalm 119:72 Matthew 6:33 Philippians 4:12 Psalm 135:15 Acts 3:1-8 Proverbs 22:1 says that “a good name is more desirable than great riches.” How does that change your attitude about money? Scripture indicates some ways to keep the right attitude about money and what it's used for—like caring for the needs of loved ones, caring for others, caring for the work of the Lord, and paying taxes to support the government. How might these examples inspire you this week? Psalm 115:2-8 describes the dangers of replacing God by making idols out of money. How can this help you trust more in God than money? 1 Peter 1:18-19 provides the assurance that no amount of money can save us, only Jesus' sacrifice can do that. How does this encourage you to handle money differently this week? Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Jesus, help me have the right attitude about money and use it well in my life. Help me focus more on growing my character in Your image than on growing my bank account. And help me see the opportunities in my life to help others with the money You've entrusted to me.” Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: God and Money What Jesus Said About Your Money Listen: “Jesus, Love & Basketball” with Chris Broussard Read: The Money Watch: How to Use Money in Godly Ways
In this episode, Ronn and Mike answer two questions sent in by listeners: 1) After the resurrection, NT writers rarely refer to Jesus simply by the name "Jesus" without attaching a title such as "Lord," "Christ," or "Jesus Christ." Is referring to Jesus without a title unintentionally minimizing early Christian confession about its messiah? 2) The story of 1 Kings 22, in which a spirit is sent by Yahweh to lie to Ahab's prophets, seems to imply that created gods have the ability to manipulate or obstruct human freedom. Is this story teaching this, and are there any other OT passages which teach this?

Pastor Andy Cass Spiritual gifts often begin in seed form. The question is not only whether you see them, but whether you recognize where they come from. In this message, we explore the Word of Wisdom and the Word of Knowledge—two supernatural gifts of the Spirit that reveal what cannot be naturally known and guide us toward the right action at the right time. Through the life of Jesus and examples throughout Scripture, we see that these gifts are not talents to impress people but Kingdom tools used to build, correct, encourage, and transform lives. TEXT: 1 Corinthians 12:1; 1 Corinthians 12:8; James 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:2; Proverbs 3:12 John 8:1–11; John 4:16–19; 1 Kings 3:16–28; 2 Kings 5:20–27 NOTES: Five Guiding Principles: Word of Wisdom and Word of Knowledge Spiritual gifts go beyond personality, talent, and natural ability. 1. The words of wisdom and knowledge go beyond the surface. 2. They are effective Kingdom tools. 3. They are used for encouragement and correction of the believer 4. Are you open and willing? A Vessel or a recipient? "Most of you have been a recipient of God's gifts- however we missed giving credit to where it truly came from, God." The fruit of wisdom is transformation. The fruit of knowldedge is clarity and transformation.

A study in 2 Kings 18 from our Midweek Service at Harvest Fellowship with Pastor Paul Mowery.
SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 365, “Time Truly Is in God's Hands,” Kim discusses the request of King Hezekiah for more time. Hezekiah was approached by the prophet Isaiah and told he was going to die and to get his affairs in order. Hezekiah did not panic but immediately turned to the Lord and poured out his pain and preference. The Lord chose to provide a miracle of more time, but also a miracle of growth in Hezekiah, who stated, “This anguish was good for me.” The Lord doesn't always answer our request for more time in the way we think He should, but we can be comforted knowing time is still in His control, and He can help us make the most of every moment given. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 20:1-11, with 2-3 as the focal verses: 2 When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, O Lord, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly, always doing what pleases you.” Then he broke down and wept bitterly.

Former Sydney Kings and Illawarra Hawks owner Dorry Kordahi takes us inside his latest venture — buying into the Lebanese Basketball League and becoming president of the NSA Falcons. Host Dan Boyce chats with Kordahi on why the LBL is one of the most powerful basketball markets in the world (and why the timing to invest is right now), how the opportunity came together through long-time connections, and what he's already doing on the ground. From there, the conversation shifts back home. Kordahi addresses ongoing talk around NBL expansion — including his interest in a second Sydney franchise and his long-running push to help bring the Newcastle Falcons back into the league. He explains why stadium infrastructure is the biggest barrier, why government support is essential, and how the NBL's growth over the past decade has changed the way "small market" clubs can recruit and compete. Topics include: Kordahi's move into Lebanese basketball and why the LBL market makes sense (0:30) How the NSA Falcons deal came together — and why he took a "rebuild" job again (2:30) His role as club president, early meetings in Beirut, and what he wants to change (4:30) Bridging Lebanon and Australia — exhibitions, coaching pathways, and NBL credibility overseas (5:30) Why the NBL is viewed as a premier league in Lebanon — and what that unlocks (6:30) Second Sydney team talk — and whether Lebanon closes the door on NBL ownership (7:00) Newcastle Falcons expansion push: history, market size, and what's holding it back (7:45) The stadium problem in Australia — and why it limits growth for the entire sport (10:00) Kings vs Hawks from the inside: big club vs small club realities (12:00) Rivalry mindset, "underdog fuel", and how the Hawks used the Kings as motivation (13:30) How the league has changed: balance, recruitment, and why the "small team stigma" is fading (15:30) What needs to happen for the NBL's 11th team to become real (18:00) Visit dunk.com.au for your next set of basketball uniforms.

Scott Anderson is a veteran foreign reporter and war correspondent, and a contributing writer for The New York Times. Over his career he has reported from Bosnia, Libya, Palestine and across the Middle East. In this episode, he spoke to host Hannah Lucinda Smith about his new book, King of Kings, a gripping account of the fall of the Shah of Iran, the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the rise of the Islamic Republic. Together, they explore the flaws that led to the Shah's downfall, and why Western powers fundamentally misunderstood what was happening in the country in the months before the revolution. They also examine how these events shaped Iran and the Middle East today, and the political future of a country whose power has been diminished in the region, but whose population is again rallying around the flag in response to external aggression. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (3.5) Tim Conway Jr. keeps the night moving with everything from horse racing nostalgia to L.A. gridlock and fast-food smackdowns. He shares his all-time favorite horse race call, gets into Target’s massive $2 billion push to revamp grocery and baby products, and looks ahead to the Oscars as road closures are already creating headaches around Hollywood. Add in the still-delayed LAX people mover, and it’s another classic case of Los Angeles being in no rush to finish anything. The hour also serves up a full-on Burger War as Petros & Money put McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s to the taste-test challenge. Then it’s sports and traffic with a salute to Kings captain Anze Kopitar on his 1,500th game, a look ahead to next year’s Super Bowl at SoFi on Valentine’s Day, and a warning about major congestion from slab repairs at the 210 and 605 interchange. To top it off, the crew dives into the unlikely comeback of CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If the Book of Genesis records the personal fall of man (adam) in the Garden, the Book of Kings (Sefer Melakhim) records the corporate fall of man (Israel) in the Promised Land. Originally a single, seamless work in the Hebrew canon, Kings is the autopsy of a spiritual collapse. It tracks the Davidic Promise from its architectural summit in Jerusalem to its apparent dissolution in the fires of Babylon. The Arc of Decay: From Temple to Exile The narrative spans approximately 410 years (c. 970 BCE – 560 BCE), following the tragic trajectory of "YHWH-plus" religion. The Summit (c. 970–930 BCE): The United Monarchy under Solomon. The Word of God is housed in the Jerusalem Temple, the location God chose to place his Name forever if only Israel will hear and obey the voice of their God. Tragically, the philosopher-king Solomon divides his loyalties and his affections. The Divided Monarchy (c. 930–722 BCE): As goes the heart of the king, so goes the Kingdom. The North (Israel) under Jeroboam immediately adopts YHWH-plus idolatry, the Golden Calves, leading to its total erasure by Assyria. The South (Judah) struggles to maintain the Davidic "Immune System" amidst a progressive slide into syncretism. The Collapse (c. 722–586 BCE): Despite the radical reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, the culture of compromise - weaponized by Manasseh - becomes terminal. The book concludes with the Babylonian Captivity, as the means devised by God to carry His promise to completion. Authorship While Jewish tradition identifies the prophet Jeremiah as the author, conservative scholarship also recognizes the possibility of a 'Scribe of the Exile' (such as Baruch or Ezra) who compiled the royal archives and prophetic eyewitness accounts into a single, unified narrative. In any case, the author is no mere chronicler; he is a covenantal prosecutor. He evaluates every king by a single metric: Did they walk in the way of David and obey God's word, or did they seek a "Plus" to YHWH? History here is the public outworking of a nation's loyalty to the divine message.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Daniel Byman, and Ari Tabatabai for an in-depth discussion of the U.S. military operations against Iran, including:“Isn't it Iran-ic.” Trump's decision to join Israel in removing Ayatollah Khamanei reflects a deep reversal by the president, who has spent years criticizing his predecessors' own experiences with regime change and other overseas adventurism. What drove Trump to proceed this time, after stopping short twice in the past year? What can we learn from the way the Trump administration has proceeded? And how far will Trump let things go?“Bibi's Big Adventure.” Regime change in Iran is something Israel and the Arab Gulf states have advocated for frequently in the past. But they had all adopted a more cautious and even conciliatory posture toward Iran in the months before the current offensive, at least in public. How has the region approached this conflict? And what will it do moving forward?“MIGA.” The death of Ayatollah Khamenei is a major shift in Iran, but we don't know where it is going to lead. One concern that people have always had about regime change in Iran is that it will be highly destabilizing, resulting in a failed state in a crucial corner of the Middle East. On the other end, other people have asserted that removing the Ayatollah and his regime will give Iran the opportunity to flourish back into a democracy, or at least something closer to a state that's more stable and free than Iran has been for the last several decades. Between the two is a mass spectrum of possibilities. What does the future hold for Iran in the post-Ayatollah era, if that's the era that we're heading into?In object lessons, Ben is vibe-coding his way through Lawfare's litigation tracker, as well as vibing his way through The Rest is History's four-part series, Revolution in Iran. Dan is war-gaming his way through the attack on Iran with Next War: Iran. Scott is consuming as much Iran content as he can get his hands on with (another) Scott Anderson's “King of Kings,” Roy Mottahedeh's “The Mantle of the Prophet,” Gary Sick's “All Fall Down,” and Dutch documentary “The Birthday,” finally discovered online by Lawfare's own Anna Hickey. And Ari, not to be outdone in Iran content, recommends the graphic novel “Persepolis,” but really is escaping it all with Final Fantasy VII Remake.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

If the Book of Genesis records the personal fall of man (adam) in the Garden, the Book of Kings (Sefer Melakhim) records the corporate fall of man (Israel) in the Promised Land. Originally a single, seamless work in the Hebrew canon, Kings is the autopsy of a spiritual collapse. It tracks the Davidic Promise from its architectural summit in Jerusalem to its apparent dissolution in the fires of Babylon. The Arc of Decay: From Temple to Exile The narrative spans approximately 410 years (c. 970 BCE – 560 BCE), following the tragic trajectory of "YHWH-plus" religion. The Summit (c. 970–930 BCE): The United Monarchy under Solomon. The Word of God is housed in the Jerusalem Temple, the location God chose to place his Name forever if only Israel will hear and obey the voice of their God. Tragically, the philosopher-king Solomon divides his loyalties and his affections. The Divided Monarchy (c. 930–722 BCE): As goes the heart of the king, so goes the Kingdom. The North (Israel) under Jeroboam immediately adopts YHWH-plus idolatry, the Golden Calves, leading to its total erasure by Assyria. The South (Judah) struggles to maintain the Davidic "Immune System" amidst a progressive slide into syncretism. The Collapse (c. 722–586 BCE): Despite the radical reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, the culture of compromise - weaponized by Manasseh - becomes terminal. The book concludes with the Babylonian Captivity, as the means devised by God to carry His promise to completion. Authorship While Jewish tradition identifies the prophet Jeremiah as the author, conservative scholarship also recognizes the possibility of a 'Scribe of the Exile' (such as Baruch or Ezra) who compiled the royal archives and prophetic eyewitness accounts into a single, unified narrative. In any case, the author is no mere chronicler; he is a covenantal prosecutor. He evaluates every king by a single metric: Did they walk in the way of David and obey God's word, or did they seek a "Plus" to YHWH? History here is the public outworking of a nation's loyalty to the divine message.

1 Kings 2:36-46
Psalms 1 & 2 E2 — Psalm 2 presents a crisis perpetuated by a long line of corrupt empires in the ancient Near East. Every one of these empires makes a practice of conquering, murdering, raping, and pillaging across the known world, while ancient Israel is just one small nation conquered and occupied again and again. So how do Yahweh and his anointed king respond to this injustice? Surprisingly, a lot like how the evil imperial rulers do: with mocking laughter, hot anger, and by smashing them like pottery! But why? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Psalm 2 as a minority report from an oppressed, ancient people group and an intentionally provocative portrait of God within the broader context of the Hebrew Bible.
