He warns that ungodly people have secretly slipped in among them, twisting God's grace into a license for immorality and denying Jesus Christ. Jude reminds readers of past judgments on those who rejected God, including the Israelites in the wilderness, rebellious angels, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. These false teachers are dangerous influences, driven by pride, greed, and rebellion. Believers must remain strong by building themselves up in faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, and staying in God's love. Jude closes with praise to God, who is able to keep them from falling and bring them into His glorious presence.  God calls us to hold tightly to the faith He has given us, even as the world around us becomes increasingly confused and careless with truth. We must be careful not to follow those who twist grace or reject Jesus; they are known by their attitude and the fruit they produce. Instead, we should build our lives on His Word, maintain a close connection with Him through prayer, and rely on His love to guide us. We live in God's love and wait for Christ's return. When others struggle, we respond with mercy, helping them return to the truth. Our hope is not in ourselves but in the God who keeps us secure and saves us through our Lord Jesus.     Majestic Lord, we praise You for our shared salvation and the hope of eternal life that guides our hearts and lives. Strengthen us to defend the gospel message wherever You lead us. So many have denied Your worthy authority in their lives. Help us recognize the foolishness of Cain, Balaam, and Korah, and instead choose to humbly follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Please block the false teachers and deceitful workers who hinder the good work You have for us to accomplish. Guide us in teaching the lost, assisting those who struggle, and empowering us with Your strength and protection.  Thought Questions: What does it mean to “contend earnestly for the faith”? Why should that primarily involve defending Jesus as Master and Lord? What will God do to all who do not believe? What are the errors of Cain, Balaam, and Korah that often lead to rampant disobedience? When was the last time you snatched someone from the fire? How vital is mercy towards others and efforts made to restore and help them?

In today's message, we meet Korah, someone gifted, called, and positioned by God… yet unwilling to lead the way God intended. Instead of walking in humility and unity, Korah chose pride, comparison, and division.

In this special Sunday Sermon, we celebrate a monumental milestone: the 150th anniversary of Oceanside Sanctuary Church. Joining us to mark this occasion is guest speaker Yvonne Gilmore, who brings a powerful message on the legacy of "spiritual audacity" and the enduring power of community. Drawing from Psalm 46, Yvonne explores the concept of God not just as a static refuge, but as an active force that "stirs the oceans" and transforms landscapes. She weaves together the ancient wisdom of the Sons of Korah with the modern resilience found in Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World—reminding us that true hope is a practice we perform even in the midst of global turmoil. Listen in as we reflect on what it means to sing songs that hold true on both our best and worst days, and how a community deeply rooted in love can weather any storm to bring about a different manner of weather for the world. Key Themes & Takeaways Celebrating 150 Years: A look back at the "spiritual audacity" that has sustained the community for a century and a half. The Power of Psalm 46: Understanding God as a "very present help" who calls us to be still and know—not to withdraw, but to witness the shifting tides of justice. Songs of Resilience: How Louis Armstrong's masterpiece, recorded during a time of national unrest, mirrors the call to see beauty and grace despite chaos. Community as Refuge: Why our "best songs" are the ones we can sing together through both triumph and tragedy. Poetic Wisdom: Insights from Tracy K. Smith's poem An Old Story on how our collective singing can transform the atmosphere around us.

Holy Fire or Strange Fire? When Judgment Begins at the House of God | KIB 507 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Is the fire in today's churches from the Holy Spirit—or from Babylon? In this sobering episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake examine holy fire vs. strange fire, why judgment must begin at the house of God, and how the remnant can walk safely through coming judgments with their "censers" filled only with the fire of Heaven. They discuss the persecution of believers in Nigeria, the subtle rise of entertainment-based Christianity, the danger of unholy manifestations in church, and the growing crisis of child trafficking as the true currency of Babylon. This is a call for deep repentance, discernment, and a return to God's ways so that the remnant can stand as God's special forces in the last days. If you long for holiness, discernment, and the true fear of the Lord, this episode will both challenge and encourage you to examine the fire in your own life.

The Lord deals with Korah and followers. We discuss Aaron's budding staff. Aaron and his sons provide a buffer between the people and the sanctuary. Numbers 16:15-35, 36-50; 17:1-13; 18:1-7. #everydaychristians

Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16 reveals the consequences of rejecting God's appointed authority. Though he was a Levite with sacred responsibilities, Korah desired the priesthood, a role God had not given him. His ambition led to destruction as “the ground opened and swallowed him and those who followed him alive” (Num 16:32–33). This account is not merely historical. Jude uses it to expose spiritual danger within the church, where some claim spiritual authority while resisting God's order. Jude identifies three […] The post Dead Religion: The Way of Korah appeared first on Revival Life Church Boca Raton, FL.

Psalm 44 English Standard VersionCome to Our HelpTo the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.44 O God, we have heard with our ears,    our fathers have told us,what deeds you performed in their days,    in the days of old:2 you with your own hand drove out the nations,    but them you planted;you afflicted the peoples,    but them you set free;3 for not by their own sword did they win the land,    nor did their own arm save them,but your right hand and your arm,    and the light of your face,    for you delighted in them.4 You are my King, O God;    ordain salvation for Jacob!5 Through you we push down our foes;    through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.6 For not in my bow do I trust,    nor can my sword save me.7 But you have saved us from our foes    and have put to shame those who hate us.8 In God we have boasted continually,    and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us    and have not gone out with our armies.10 You have made us turn back from the foe,    and those who hate us have gotten spoil.11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter    and have scattered us among the nations.12 You have sold your people for a trifle,    demanding no high price for them.13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors,    the derision and scorn of those around us.14 You have made us a byword among the nations,    a laughingstock among the peoples.15 All day long my disgrace is before me,    and shame has covered my face16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler,    at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.17 All this has come upon us,    though we have not forgotten you,    and we have not been false to your covenant.18 Our heart has not turned back,    nor have our steps departed from your way;19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals    and covered us with the shadow of death.20 If we had forgotten the name of our God    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,21 would not God discover this?    For he knows the secrets of the heart.22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long;    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.23 Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?    Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever!24 Why do you hide your face?    Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust;    our belly clings to the ground.26 Rise up; come to our help!    Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!English Standard Version (ESV)The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.ESV Text Edition: 2025.

Jude's letter, while brief, is both pointed and to the point. While he had hoped to write a letter of encouragement and celebration in the gospel, he realized it was more prudent to encourage them to contend for the faith against those false teachings which had infiltrated the church. Pointing back to Sodom and Gomorrah, the rebellion in the wilderness after the exodus, to Balaam, to Cain, and to those who rebelled with Korah, he asserts that these people who deny Jesus and who rely on dreams will be doomed to hell. In these end times there are certain to be scoffers who live according to their ungodly desires, who create division, and who are worldly. Even so, he encourages the church to have mercy on those who waver. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Nov. 16th Sunday sermon. Jude 11-16 Scott Julian teaching. The Book of Jude addresses rebellion against God's authority and the dangers of false teachings. It uses historical figures like Cain, Balaam, and Korah to illustrate disobedience and judgment. Believers are encouraged to stay true to their faith, trust in God's timing, and prioritize character over charisma in leaders. The message concludes with a call to embrace salvation and rely on Christ as a guiding shepherd through challenges.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if you're feeling spiritually dry and distant—like life has you stuck in a desert of doubt, haunted by family baggage or your own regrets, desperately craving that close connection with God but hearing the nagging voice inside say, "Where is He when I need Him most?" How do we push through those nights when worry feels like our only companion, turn our inner chaos into a quiet trust, and show up for worship anyway, even when we feel too broken or unqualified to lead the way? In Psalm 42, the sons of Korah—descendants of a guy who rebelled big-time against God and paid the price—open up about their deep longing for Him, turning a family curse into a powerful song of hope that reminds us of David's own thirst and points ahead to Jesus welcoming the tired and thirsty to rest by the Rock that never runs dry. Join us for this heartfelt 15-minute prayer through Psalm 42 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton shares the amazing story of the Korah crew's comeback as proof of God's second chances for all of us, and encourages you to claim that promise—"I will praise Him again"—no matter what mess you're carrying, so you can expect honestly, hope boldly, and walk right back into the presence of a God who says you're never too far gone.

The names of the daughters were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. They came forward and stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders and the whole assembly at the entrance to the tent of meeting and said, “Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among Korah's followers, who banded together against the LORD, but he died for his own sin and left no sons. Why should our father's name disappear from his clan because he had no son? Give us property among our father's relatives.” So Moses brought their case before the LORD, and the LORD said to him, “What Zelophehad's daughters are saying is right. You must certainly give them property as an inheritance among their father's relatives and give their father's inheritance to them. “Say to the Israelites, ‘If a man dies and leaves no son, give his inheritance to his daughter. If he has no daughter, give his inheritance to his brothers. If he has no brothers, give his inheritance to his father's brothers. If his father had no brothers, give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, that he may possess it. This is to have the force of law for the Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses.'”

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Jim addresses the dangers of counterfeit faith and rebellion against God's authority, using Korah's rebellion in Numbers 16 as a key example. He highlights how subtle compromises lead us into rebellion and contrasts this with the life-giving path of faithful submission to God. Jim challenges us to consider if we're relying on our own support systems or truly trusting in God's sovereignty. He emphasizes that "rebellion is always a personal problem," urging us to stop blaming others. His guidance helps distinguish between righteous advocacy and self-serving rebellion, offering a clear path for navigating authority. This message counters our culture's celebration of rebellion by revealing that true strength is found in humble submission to God.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49509871   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/05cb6d35   ☞ NEXT STEPS

The nation of Israel leaves Mount Sinai to gain their inheritance in the Promised Land. As usual, things don't go according to plan. The people get angry, God rebukes, Moses intercedes and the process starts all over again. Until it comes time to actually take the Promised Land and then things go really sideways.

Psalm 46English Standard VersionTo the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song.God is our refuge and strength,    a very present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way,    though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,though its waters roar and foam,    though the mountains tremble at its swelling. SelahThere is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,    the holy habitation of the Most High.God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;    God will help her when morning dawns.The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;    he utters his voice, the earth melts.The Lord of hosts is with us;    the God of Jacob is our fortress. SelahCome, behold the works of the Lord,    how he has brought desolations on the earth.He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;    he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;    he burns the chariots with fire.“Be still, and know that I am God.    I will be exalted among the nations,    I will be exalted in the earth!”The Lord of hosts is with us;    the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah

The thorns in Luke press and threaten. They are the self-referential swarm posing as a flock: the so-called “community” that gathers to its own voice, circling death, mistaking its stench for sweetness, even as it strangles the one bearing the seed.These are the thorns.But the roots are of another kind. They spring up from the seed itself. A daughter of Israel, fruit of the Master's vine, afflicted for twelve years, who cannot live apart from him. She is not self-referential. She does not reach out to harm, nor to press her point, nor to insist upon herself. Though she is a daughter, she does not presume the right to cross the boundary set by what is sacred. She does not assume she is equal, much less above.The threat that governs this boundary is the same one given to the priest in the wilderness:“The outsider who draws near shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:10, 38; 17:13).It is the earth of creation itself under his Command. Life and death hinge on reference to him, which becomes submission. Absent reference, submission collapses into the “crowd of thorns”—the ʿedah swarming carrion, the lynch mob, the beloved neo-pagan “community.” The priest stands at the edge of that body: assigned to draw near, yet living under the same threat that borders the sanctuary. For proximity to what is holy is not possession of it. To approach on one's own terms is to perish; to be drawn near in obedience is to live.Pressure exposes the heart of this law. In Numbers, Balaam's donkey pressed his foot against the wall because she saw what he could not. The pressure revealed the blindness of the man and the sight of the donkey. In Luke, the crowd presses upon Jesus, but he perceives what they cannot: the deliberate touch of the one who steps forward in faith. The same pressure that blinds the self-referential reveals the one who truly sees.The thorns in Luke do not understand this law. They confuse nearness with ownership and approach with entitlement. Like the outsider who encroaches upon the altar, they rush forward without Command: pressing, consuming, swarming as if circling carrion. Their nearness is self-initiated; therefore, they take life.But the daughter, like the biblical root sprung from the seed of the Sower, is drawn near by the Command. She approaches not to take but to receive. Unlike the thorns, she does not presume to cross the boundary by “right.” She draws near as an offering, not as an invader.Now she stands in the center, and he is her circumference: her shield in the time of strife.Hear, O daughter of Israel: draw near and see.Do not be afraid.The Lord is your Shepherd.This week, I discuss Luke 8:43-45.8:43 And a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came [προσελθοῦσα / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] up behind him and touched [ἥψατο / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] the fringe of his cloak, and immediately her discharge of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched [ἁψάμενός / ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet)] me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing [ἀποθλίβουσιν / ל-ח-ץ (lamed-ḥet-ṣade)] in on you.”ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet) / ق-ر-ب (qāf-rāʾ-bāʾ )ἅπτω (hapto)“So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the outsider who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:10)“But those who were to camp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons, performing the duties of the sanctuary for the obligation of the sons of Israel; but the outsider who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:38)“Everyone who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)], who comes near [הקרב (ha-qareb)] to the tabernacle of the Lord, must die. Are we to perish completely?” (Numbers 17:13)In Numbers 3:10, 3:38, and 17:13, the Hebrew term הקרב (ha-qareb), from the root ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet), “to draw near, approach”, defines the law of approach that governs creation. The warning that “the outsider who draws near shall be put to death” does not protect tribe, identity, or privilege; it names the biblical principle of the open field itself.The sanctuary, like God's field, is an open expanse, not an enclosure. Yet, his Command governs its openness. Life exists only by reference to his instruction. His Command orders the heavens and the earth.The priest stands at the edge of God's field, where hearing and obedience hold the ground together. To cross without hearing is to move without reference, to “gather” for God's judgment; to press, as the thorns do, devouring what cannot be possessed. The danger is not in being outside, but in stepping forward on one's own terms, mistaking freedom for ownership. Even the appointed priest lives under this sentence. Closeness is not possession. The clearest lexical example of this in Luke is Judas:“While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached [ἤγγισεν engisen / ק-ר-ב] Jesus to kiss him.” (22:47)Judas embodies unauthorized closeness, the New Testament fulfillment of הקרב (ha-qareb) in Numbers: the one who draws near and dies. Luke 22:47 is the clearest example of a self-referential disciple.The tabernacle, like the open field, is the earth of creation under his Command: its boundaries invisible yet absolute, its center defined by hearing. To be drawn near by instruction is to live within the Lord's circumference; to come near unbidden is to dissolve into dust. Life and death hinge upon reference within the open field of his Command.προσέρχομαι (proserchomai)“Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, came near [ותקרבנה (wattiqrabnah)]; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.” (Numbers 27:1)Here, ק-ר-ב (qof-resh-bet) indicates a rare instance of righteous petition. In Numbers, the daughters of Zelophehad step forward to the entrance of the tent: not to make a claim, but to submit. This reflects the function of the root itself, in which the one who draws near becomes interfunctional with the offering. Their nearness stands in sharp contrast to the ʿedah of Korah, who also “came near” (yiqrebu) and were swallowed by the earth. Where the rebellious qareb ends in death, the obedient qareb bears fruit: law and inheritance take root and blossom through submission. Their approach reveals the womb of nearness, rightly ordered by the Command—an approach that gives life rather than takes it.

To contend for the faith is to wrestle and endure in the daily walk of following Jesus. Jude reminds us that we must look to the past to understand how to stand firm today. From Israel's rebellion in the wilderness to the examples of Cain, Balaam, and Korah, Scripture shows us the danger of turning from God's truth and the importance of staying faithful to the calling He has given us. Contending for the faith requires endurance and focus. We run the race by looking to Jesus, the perfecter of our faith, knowing that He has already won the victory. As we follow Him, we are called to soak in God's Word, beg for His will, and walk in His way, allowing what we believe to be visible in how we live. In a world filled with confusion and darkness, God calls His people to wake up, push back the darkness, and shine the light of Christ wherever they go.Check out our video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/Spa3WGxQ32cSubscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/8wmeCwBf_zkLearn more about us at chestnutmountain.orgFollow us on Facebook & Instagram @chestnutmtn_Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, leave a review, and let us know what you think.

Jude 5–18 reminds the church that God's past judgments guarantee His future ones: Israel was rescued from Egypt yet later judged for unbelief; even angels who abandoned their proper place were held for judgment; and Sodom and Gomorrah became a standing warning for sexual rebellion. In contrast to Michael the archangel—who, when disputing with the devil, would only say “The Lord rebuke you”—these intruders are arrogant dreamers who pollute themselves, spurn authority, and slander what they don't understand. They walk the path of Cain's spite, Balaam's greed, and Korah's revolt, offering much and delivering nothing—like waterless clouds and fruitless trees. The ancient word still stands: the Lord will come to judge the ungodly for their deeds and their defiant speech. So don't be surprised by grumblers and smooth-tongued flatterers who follow their passions; remember what the apostles told you, and stay rooted in the truth you've received.

The ancient word still stands: the Lord will come to judge the ungodly for their deeds and their defiant speech. So don't be surprised by grumblers and smooth-tongued flatterers who follow their passions; remember what the apostles told you, and stay rooted in the truth you've received.

1 Chronicles 27 deals with the military divisions and the leaders, or princes of the tribes. To us the chapter may seem irrelevant, even somewhat trivial, but this is not so. The role of the gatekeepers in Temple worship is fundamental: it includes the admission of only those who are sincere in their worship and also valuing truth: John 4 verses 21-24. Hence in Psalm 84:10, a psalm written by gatekeepers (the sons of Korah) we read: "I would rather be a gatekeeper of the House of God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness". The writer said earlier in the same verse: "a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere". It seems that the pattern of David's administration is a pattern for that which will exist in Messiah's kingdom. Ezekiel chapter 36 is a prophecy towards the mountains of Israel. The mountains of Israel is an expression, which dominates these prophecies of the restoration. It is against "the mountains of Israel" that Gogue will come in Ezekiel 38. The nations who have reproached Israel, says chapter 36, will experience the wrath of Yahweh the God of Israel. By contrast, the mountains of Israel, would thrive flourish and grow. 1948 saw the commencement of that process with the state of Israel being proclaimed on May 14th. Israel's reproach will soon be ended and they once again shall be the people of the LORD. The Almighty has done this not because they have been a deserving nation. On the contrary it is in vindication of that name - which they have disgraced and profaned among the nations, where they were scattered. It is because He is the faithful GOD who keeps the covenant He made with Abraham. The time is soon coming when He will remove their stony heart and give them a vibrant fleshy heart. His spirit will be within them and they will be His people and He will be their God. They will be the paradise of the LORD- Eden restored. The gospel record of John was most likely the last of the four written. Nor is it a summary of the ministry of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many more references to people discovering that Jesus was the Christ. Its theme is stated in chapter 20:31 "These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name." It records 8 signs, which are emphatic proofs of the stated theme. Chapter 1 is deliberately a parallel to Genesis 1. For just as Genesis 1 described the natural creation, which came into being through the Word of God in six days. Two groups of three repeated - LIGHT, WATER, LIFE; days 1-3 are paralleled and duplicated in days 4-6.; so too with the new spiritual creation in Christ. Jesus is declared to have come to his own (by ellipsis- people ) and failed to be accepted. This was not the case among believers. What a lofty theme. Jesus was the Word of God in the flesh i.e. one of us in nature and passions; and yet without sin totally revealing the Father's character to humanity. Read aloud verses 14-17 - Pause and Ponder. John was the disciple who rested on Jesus' bosom during the Last Supper and surely he writes with a measure of understanding his comments in chapter 1:18. The record of Jesus' baptism followed with John theBaptist's announcement of verse 29 "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." From verses 35-42 we have the earliest call of the first four of Jesus' disciples (later to become his Apostles) Andrew and John, Peter and James. From verses 43-51 we have the call of Philip and Nathanael. The latter convinced by our Lord's ability to reveal what Nathanael was thinking that Jesus must be the Son of God and the King of Israel. Twice in the chapter we are told that these men had found the Messiah i.e. the Christ - first by Andrew (v41) and then Nathanael (v49). But the reality was he had found them and extended to them the authority to become 'the sons of God' (verses 12-13).

1 Chronicles 26 commences with the divisions of the gatekeepers. We may consider this role to be of insignificance, however it was a vital role in Temple worshipping. The gatekeepers would only admit those who had a sincere love of God and His Truth: John verses :21-24. Such wonderful men as the sons of Korah became gatekeepers after putting the LORD before family loyalty. Consider their words in Psalm 84 verse:10 "I would rather be a gatekeeper in the House of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness". These words have their background in Korah's rebellion spoken of in Numbers 16. It would seem that David's administration is a pattern for Messiah's i.e. our Lord Jesus Christ in the kingdom age. The Hebrew word David' means 'beloved' and so it seems that the arrangements that David made for his kingdom are a type of those of God's Beloved Son. In Ezekiel 35 we have judgment on Edom (Esau), or Mount Seir. Of all Israel's neighbours those who have shown the most inveterate hatred have been the Edomites (see Malachi 1). The whole of the prophecy ofTop of the DocumentObadiah tells of a perpetual hatred, which knew no bounds in finding ways to destroy their brother, Israel. The Edomites stand as the great archetypal enemy of Yahweh. No wonder there will be great rejoicing in the whole world at their destruction. In the first eleven verses of Philippians 3 we have extreme language used by the Apostle in relation to his foes - who Paul says are savage dogs. Those Judaizers gloried in all their fleshly achievements. By contrast Paul counted such attainments as he had (and they were a very impressive list) to be futile refuse. The Apostle is waiting for the righteousness that only comes through faith. Paul says that in knowing Christ and aligning himself with our Lord's values is all that matters. The Apostle wanted a resurrection like Christ's - i.e. to stand out from among the dead ones. And to that end Paul would press to strive for the upward calling in his Lord. This calling involves a citizenship of the heavenly kingdom that will be established on earth when the Saviour returns and changes the body of our humiliation to be like unto his own glorious body (see 1 John 3 verse 1-3). In chapter 4 Paul beseeches two fine sisters, who could not get on with one another, to reconcile for the sake of the ecclesia. He thanks the Philippians for their continued generous support in contributing to his preaching, upkeep and welfare. Our God will in His time recompense those who put the success of the gospel foremost. Let us pause and ponder the sentiments of verse 13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Who can we trust today? That's the question Dr. McGee helps us answer as we look at the apostates Cain, Balaam, and Korah and the eternity of darkness waiting for those who follow the same path.

Pastor Chris continues our teaching series entitled “The Life of Moses: A Friend of God.” In this twenty-second study of the series, “Ambition & Consequences,” we study again in the book of Numbers and focus on a moment when Korah and others lead a rebellion against Moses & God. Here, we see how easily ambition can give way to human brokenness and our need to embrace humility in all things.

God, our Creator, never makes mistakes, but we often question His wisdom. We need to trust that He knows what He's doing. That's the lesson we learn from Jude as we look to the archangel Michael as an example of those who trust God completely and to Cain, Balaam, and Korah as examples of apostates who chose differently.

This passage exposes the character and destiny of false teachers who infiltrate the church. They are dream-driven, flesh-defiling, authority-rejecting, and spiritually arrogant. Jude compares them to Cain (selfish rebellion), Balaam (greedy compromise), and Korah (defiant pride). Their influence is deceptive—like hidden reefs, waterless clouds, fruitless trees, wild waves, and wandering stars—promising much but delivering ruin. Their end is darkness, destruction, and divine judgment.

Send us a textWhile studying the story of Korah's rebellion, the Shoebox Kids wonder how to recognize God's leaders today. Pastor Hill visits their class to share what pastors do and how God calls people to serve. Inspired, the kids secretly plan a surprise “thank-you” party to show appreciation for their pastor, even solving a parking puzzle so he will not suspect a thing. When the lights flash on and everyone shouts “Surprise!”, Pastor Hill is overwhelmed with gratitude. This heartwarming story teaches kids to respect God's leaders, work together, and look for creative ways to say “thank you.” Talk about it:Why is it important to appreciate the people who serve at church?How did the kids keep the party a secret and solve the parking problem?What did the class learn from the story of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram?Who can you thank or encourage at your church 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

Send us a textKorah is unhappy that he is not a priest, so he convinces Dathan, Abiram, and many leaders to challenge Moses and Aaron. Moses prays and tells everyone to bring bowls of incense so God can show whom He has chosen. The next day, God stops the rebellion: the ground opens under the ringleaders, fire falls on the 250 men with incense, and a disease spreads among the crowd until Aaron runs with his incense to save the people. Finally, God makes Aaron's walking stick blossom with flowers and almonds so everyone knows He chose Aaron to serve. This story teaches why jealousy is dangerous, why God's work is holy, and how He wants us to trust His choices with humble hearts. Talk about it:Why was Korah unhappy, and what did he want?How did Moses and Aaron respond when people were angry?What did Aaron's blossoming stick show everyone?What is one way you can show respect for the leaders God has placed in your life 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

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Absolutely — let's build a complete definition of jealousy by pulling together the different angles from Scripture, psychology, and language:   Definition of Jealousy   1. General / Dictionary Sense   Jealousy is a feeling of resentment, bitterness, or insecurity that arises when we perceive a threat to something we value—such as a relationship, possession, status, or recognition.  It often involves fear of loss and resentment toward others who have what we desire.   2. Biblical Sense   The Bible uses jealousy in two distinct ways:   Sinful Human Jealousy (envy, rivalry):     * Wanting what someone else has.   * Resenting their success, blessings, or relationships.   * Leads to anger, strife, and destructive actions (James 3:16; Galatians 5:20).   Righteous Divine Jealousy (protective love):**      God's passionate commitment to His people and His own glory.    Not born out of insecurity, but out of covenant love and holiness (Exodus 34:14; 2 Corinthians 11:2).    Like a husband's rightful desire for his wife's faithfulness.   3. Psychological Understanding - or breaking it down in the brain   Jealousy is often a complex emotion made up of:     Fear (of being replaced, overlooked, or abandoned).   Anger/resentment (toward the one we feel threatened by).   Insecurity (about our own worth or position). Unlike envy (wanting what someone else has), jealousy often involves a triangular relationship: Me, the other person, and the rival/threat or appearance of what I lack.    4. Key Distinctions   Envy = “I want what you have.” Jealousy = “I'm afraid you'll take what I have” or “I resent you for threatening my place (i.e. I don't measure up to you).” God's Jealousy = “I will not allow you to give your love to idols because I love you and know what's best for you.”   Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn. Jealousy keeps us from doing both. Rejoice? But I don't have that! Mourn? No they deserve to suffer, because I have had to suffer.   But here is what is weird… when we rejoice over those who are succeeding, being blessed, hitting goals, achieving greatness… when we rejoice with them in that we are planting seeds of their success into our lives.  If we truly reap what we sow… then when we rejoice with others we in turn have just planted seeds-IN FAITH- for the day people will rejoice over our success.  So here is the power thought for the day. We don't just sow money, time talents… we sow emotions. If the emotions we choose to sow are positive we will reap the benefits of that… but if they are negative towards people… well, I bet you can figure it out.    ---   ✅ **Complete Definition (Combined):** **Jealousy** is an intense emotional response that can be either sinful or righteous. In its sinful form, it is a self-centered resentment or hostility toward others because of their advantages, relationships, or blessings, often leading to strife and destruction. In its righteous form—used of God—it is His holy, protective zeal for the exclusive devotion of His people and the honor of His name, rooted not in insecurity but in perfect love and covenant faithfulness.   That's a really thoughtful question. The Bible treats **jealousy** as dangerous and destructive, but the reason why depends on how the word is used in Scripture. Let's break it down:   ---   1. Jealousy as a Sin (Human Jealousy)**   Most often, the Bible speaks of jealousy in the sense of **envy, rivalry, or coveting what others have**. This is why it's seen as evil:   It leads to division and strife.**   *“For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.”* (James 3:16)   Jealousy doesn't just stay internal—it spills out into conflict and chaos.   It comes from pride and insecurity.**   Jealousy says, “What God gave me is not enough; I deserve what you have.” That challenges God's wisdom and provision.   It destroys relationships.**   Cain killed Abel out of jealousy (Genesis 4:3–8). Saul tried to kill David because “Saul was very angry … ‘They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands'” (1 Samuel 18:7–9).   It is linked with the “works of the flesh.”**   Galatians 5:20–21 lists jealousy along with fits of anger, rivalries, and envy as things that keep people from inheriting the kingdom of God.   2. God's “Jealousy” (a Different Kind)**   At the same time, Scripture also describes God as *jealous* (Exodus 34:14; Deuteronomy 4:24). But this isn't the same as sinful human jealousy.   * God's jealousy is about **protective love**. He won't share His people with idols because He knows only He can satisfy them. * It's like a loving husband's jealousy for his wife's faithfulness—not rooted in insecurity, but in covenant love.   3. **Why Human Jealousy Is So Evil**   So the Bible condemns human jealousy because:   * It **springs from self-centeredness** rather than love. * It **questions God's goodness** and fairness. * It **tears communities apart** instead of building them up. * It is the **opposite of love**, which “does not envy” (1 Corinthians 13:4).   In short: **God's jealousy protects love, but our jealousy destroys it.**       Perfect — here are some of the clearest **biblical stories where jealousy led to disaster**:   ---   ### **1. Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:3–8)**   * **What happened:** God accepted Abel's offering but not Cain's. Cain became jealous and murdered his brother. * **Lesson:** Jealousy escalated into anger, bitterness, and ultimately the first murder in human history.   ---   ### **2. Joseph and His Brothers (Genesis 37:3–28)**   * **What happened:** Jacob favored Joseph, giving him the “coat of many colors.” His brothers became jealous of his dreams and sold him into slavery. * **Lesson:** Jealousy within a family destroyed trust and nearly killed Joseph.   ---   ### **3. Korah's Rebellion (Numbers 16:1–35)**   * **What happened:** Korah and his followers were jealous of Moses and Aaron's leadership. They challenged God's choice and were swallowed up by the earth. * **Lesson:** Jealousy against God's appointed leaders is ultimately rebellion against God Himself.   ---   ### **4. Saul and David (1 Samuel 18:6–16; 19:8–10)**   * **What happened:** After David killed Goliath, people praised him more than King Saul. Saul grew jealous and tried multiple times to kill David. * **Lesson:** Jealousy blinded Saul to David's loyalty and destroyed his kingship.   ---   ### **5. The Religious Leaders and Jesus (Mark 15:10; Matthew 27:18)**   * **What happened:** Pilate recognized that the religious leaders handed Jesus over to be crucified **out of envy/jealousy.** * **Lesson:** Jealousy of Jesus' influence and authority led to the ultimate injustice—His crucifixion.   ---   ### **6. The Pharisees and the Apostles (Acts 5:17; 13:45)**   * **What happened:** The high priest and Sadducees were jealous of the apostles' popularity and miracles, so they persecuted them. Later, the Jews in Antioch opposed Paul out of jealousy when Gentiles responded to the gospel. * **Lesson:** Jealousy can oppose the very work of God.   ---

Sermon Summary:In Psalm 84, we discover a song that captures the deepest longing of the human heart - our yearning for God's presence. This "Pearl of Psalms" was likely sung by the Sons of Korah, descendants of a man who rebelled against Moses yet whose children chose a different path. Where their ancestor found discontent and jealousy, they discovered contentment in serving God, even as doorkeepers.The psalm begins with intense longing - a soul that yearns and faints for God's courts. This isn't merely emotional; it's an appetite for God that involves our whole being. Like sparrows finding safety near God's altar, we too can find rest in His presence, no matter how restless or insignificant we feel.We see the beauty of pilgrimage - hearts set on the journey toward God. Even through the Valley of Baca (the valley of weeping), we can transform dry places into springs. Our maturity comes not through independence but through growing dependence on Jesus. We go from strength to strength as we journey toward His presence.The psalmist declares that one day in God's courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. This challenges our modern pursuit of comfort and ease. God serves as both sun and shield - providing what we need in every circumstance. The closer we draw to Jesus, the more we desire His presence.Whether we're in seasons of nearness to God or feeling distant from Him, this psalm speaks to our universal longing. Our hearts were made for His presence, and nothing else will truly satisfy.

“Why create us if we can choose Hell?” This question opens a thought-provoking discussion on free will, evil, and salvation. The episode also explores how Jesus has written natural law on our hearts, the implications of the rebellion of Korah, and why God allows senseless evil in the world. Tune in for a deep dive into these critical topics. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 06:29 – Angels and humans were given free will. God doesn't want us to go to Hell. Since he knows everything, why bother creating us if we were to choose Hell? 13:00 – If natural law has existed since the beginning of time, how has Jesus written the law on our hearts? 23:08 – Is the rebellion of Korah a foreshadowing of the Protestant rebellion? 33:10 – Why does God allow senseless evil, such as car accidents, natural disasters, etc. to kill his people, which seems to be something that would happen in a Deistic universe? 38:05 – What is a good answer to someone who says the church is not needed but only a relationship with Jesus? 42:30 – Protestant constantly say that there is one mediator. How would you respond to that claim? 46:54 – Lutherans say baptism forgives the sin from before and after your baptism. Why would that be incorrect? 51:16 – Aren’t we supposed to pray to God in Jesus name? We are not supposed to be praying to Jesus? Explore the complex interplay of free will, evil, and salvation in this insightful discussion on why God allows choices that lead to Hell.

Buried in a list of names is the mysterious fact that the sons of the mutinous leader Korah did not die. What follows is the bizarre journey of the sons of Korah to a ledge in Hell, where their song calls out to us, even today.
