Podcasts about Korah

There is a fair amount of promotion of the need for body building and physical fitness these days. It is a pity there is not as much – indeed more – emphasis on being spiritually fit, it is far more needed – and vital for our own eternal well-being. Our thoughts were provoked along these lines as we read today the 25 verses of the short letter of Jude.He starts by telling us he is the brother of James, so it is usually accepted that he is another half-brother of Jesus. In Matthew 13 v.55, we see that Jesus had a (half) brother, Judas is well as one named James. We assume he is writing in his old age, he addresses ” those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ” [v.1]. Jude sees much evidence of declining faith and writes “appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” [v.3]There is one true faith – a right way of believing and living, but some “pervert the grace of God into sensuality …” [v.4] and this in effect means they “deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” We show we believe not only by our words but by how we live and Jude gives examples from history of so many who, although they made ‘offerings' to God “walked in the way of Cain” and of Balaam and Korah (son of Aaron) who all had intimate knowledge of things divine but who acted in evil ways. [v.11]Jude was obviously living in the last days of the Jewish nation, but his warnings of the approaching end are very applicable to today. “You must remember,” he writes, “the predictions of the apostles … they said to you, ‘In the last time there will be scoffers … who cause divisions, worldly people. But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith … keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.” [v.18-21] Only by such building up will we gain eternal life.The result of genuinely doing this will be a real living relationship with our Lord “who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy.” [v.24] Let us build ourselves up to a genuine state of spiritual fitness, feeding on God's word every day is an essential part of our diet.

We explore a further act of rebellion by Israelites in the wilderness, led by Korah against Moses and Aaron. Despite witnessing numerous miracles, the people continue to disobey God's commands. Korah disputes Aaron's role as high priest, leading to a divine test that ends with a dramatic display of God's judgment. The ground splits open, swallowing Korah and his followers, while a plague claims nearly 15,000 lives.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In this message, Mark Trinkl explores Psalm 42, focusing on the theme of longing for God. He emphasizes how the Sons of Korah, despite their family's rebellious history, chose to follow God and became worship leaders. Trinkl encourages listeners to choose God even in times of discouragement, echoing the psalmist's refrain: "Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God. I will praise him again" (Psalm 42:5).#Psalms #Prayers #Poems #Discouragement #ChooseGod #Praise #WhatAreYouLongingFor

Samson, whose name means “brilliant sunshine”, goes to view Timnah (the inheritance ie of his tribe). There ‘he saw a woman' of the uncircumcised – uncovenanted – Philistines, who was ‘right in his own eyes' – his problem was characteristic of the entire nation (14 verse 7; 17verse 6; 21verse 25). In the vineyards of his inheritance, a place to be avoided by a sworn Nazarite. We read that a lion – representing the ravaging Philistines – roared against Samson. And he rips the beast asunder with no apparent effort. Several days later Samson returns to see the ‘ruin' (AV ‘carcass') of the lion only to find that miraculously and uncharacteristically a swarm of bees had made their hive in the putrid carcass. It was God's sign to Samson that by trusting in the Almighty the Philistines could be overthrown and sweet deliverance come for the Covenant people. Samson is deceived time and time again by the enemy and he engages tit for tat with them throughout these two chapters. Samson declares on each occasion that after avenging himself just once more against the Philistines he will leave the matter there. However this is not the intention of the Almighty – the Philistines need to be weakened. Notice how the LORD escalates the conflict: in 14verse 19 he slays 30 men at Ashkelon; then in 15verse 15 at Lehi a 1,000 are slain. Also observe the recurring of multiples of 3, as troubles escalate. Samson's mighty acts should have inspired his people to follow him as he could have been God's instrument for victory. But his own people reject him just as they had rejected Moses centuries earlier. Instead as the pressure of the Philistines grew stronger upon God's people 3,000 men of Judah come to plead with Samson for his surrender and then they bind him and hand him over to the Philistines. Surely we are reminded by this of the Lord Jesus being bound in the Garden of Gethsemane; being eventually sent to the Roman authorities to be tried and crucified. Samson, like our Lord, was thirsty after his great victory. In Isaiah 38 faithful God cures Hezekiah of the leprous boil, which threatened to end his life and which was preventing him from worshipping in the Temple. At this time of Hezekiah's and his nation's greatest need, when everything seemed hopeless, their Sovereign delivered them. However in spite of his recovery Hezekiah later becomes lifted up in pride as we will learn tomorrow in chapter 39. Nonetheless at this time the faithful prayer of a faithful man availed greatly (James 5verse 16). Hezekiah's prayer is a model prayer for us. It shows an elevation of king Hezekiah's God. The prayer gives glory to God. It also praises Yahweh's loving kindness in saving Hezekiah and delivering the people of Judah. His prayer states our lack of power to help ourselves and pleads for our Omnipotent Creator to show mercy for His children. It acknowledges our need to respond to God's love in praise and thanksgiving every day of our life. We too, like king Hezekiah, have been blessed and delivered from the gates of sheol (the grave): Matthew 16 verse 18-19; Revelation 1verses17-18. Marvel at the wonderful metaphors and imagery that Hezekiah uses to describe the frailty of humanity. Meditate on the significance of his exhortation to us in verses 19-20. King Hezekiah is given a sign that he will recover in Isaiah 38:21. 2 Peter is also written to the dispersed Jews in Asia Minor ie Turkey. It commences in the same way as the first letter. The time of writing is in 66-67 AD and the persecution by Nero is now at its fiercest. According to tradition, the two foremost leaders of the believers, Paul and Peter, were both executed in 67 AD. Clues in Peter's 2nd epistle indicate that the most likely date of the epistle is 67 AD. Believers in Christ Jesus had attained to the same precious faith as the great Apostle to the Jews. From verses 3-15 these disciples are urged to make their calling and election ie selection by God sure. Peter tells them in verses 2-4 that our Father has given them all things that are necessary for a godly life; and that these great promises, which they now share, are graciously granted them offering believers a sharing of the Father's character and life. From verses 5-7 Peter enumerates the virtues being developed by God in their lives. These virtues are not sequential, but rather they are a group of traits befitting saints, and to be cultivated simultaneously. They summarise the character of our Lord Jesus Christ, outlined in Matthew 5:1-12. Great blessings accompany such saints who, in measure, develop the character of their Lord Jesus Christ. These divine virtues are called by brother Marshall – “The Portrait of a Saint”. Belief is the foundation upon which the faithful build (and that foundation is Christ Jesus see 1 Corinthians 3 verses 10-15 and Ephesians 2:19-22. Peter elaborates further on this theme at the start of chapter 2). The last 2 are at the apex of the developing saint's life – brotherly kindness (Philadelphos) and love (agape, self-sacrificing love); embody both of these fully exemplified in our Head, the Lord Jesus Christ. Where these qualities abound fruit is produced in the disciple. But a short-sighted approach stultifies the life of a disciple; and is the product of forgetting and neglect. In the practising of these qualities the disciples will attain the glory and the kingdom, which they seek. Peter would strive with his last breath to remind them of this. The Apostle speaks of “departure” (Greek “exodus” verse 15). The Tabernacle; of “the ecclesia in the wilderness” (Acts 7:44). This was emblematic of the LORD going with them. Peter talks of the entrance (“eisodus”) into the kingdom. How frequently is the theme stated, “Yahweh BROUGHT you out of Egypt, that He might BRING you into the land promised to the fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). Verses 16-21 speak of Christ's incomparable glory and the transcending greatness of the prophetic Word of our God (compare 1 Peter 1 verses 22-25). There can be no mistaking what we (Peter, James and John) saw on the Mount of Transfiguration – compare with Luke 9 verses 28-38. The glory of Moses and Elijah paled into insignificance alongside the glory of the Son of God – John 1 verses14-15. And that glory was reminiscent of the Father's own glory (Hebrews 1-1-4). As great as the prophetic Word was when spoken through Moses and Elijah the Father's Word from heaven boomed, “This is my Beloved Son, HEAR HIM”. If this witness was not enough, we have the added testimony of the prophetic Word centred on, and embodied in our Lord Jesus Christ. The prophetic Word shines more brightly as we see its fulfilment day by day. (Proverbs 4 verses 18-19). Prophecy never originated from the prophet's own mind. Instead the inspired Word of God found its source in holy men of God being “impelled”, or “driven along” by God's power. And so although the style of the prophet is individual, the message is infallibly that of the Almighty (see 2 Timothy 3 verses 14-17). In chapter 2 Peter deals with the tragedy of false teaching. Peter uses Biblical history to show that those who would attempt to deflect God's elect are always active among the believers. The Apostle Peter uses 3 historical examples. These examples are similar to those in Jude's letter – one from before the flood; one from the era of Abraham; and another from the time of the Wilderness wanderings in Moses' epoch. Peter explains the inevitability of false teachers arising from their midst (compare Acts 20 verses 29-32). Peter says that the errorists are not genuine – the words that these false teachers use are called “feigned” (Greek “plastos”) – taught for effect, with no concern for truth. The doctrine is moulded to fit the teacher's designs (2 Timothy 4 verses 1-5). But God has long ago decided to destroy people like this (See Revelation 22verses 15). The first example is in verse 5 and speaks of the gainsayers opposing Noah (cp Jude verses 14-16). The second is from the era of faithful Abraham (2 Peter 2verses 6-10). These verses tell of total detesting by God of homosexuality. And lastly, verses 10 (the second half) to verse 11. Here Peter deals with the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram against Moses (also in Jude verses 5-7; the original account being in Numbers 14). All of those historical events highlight two Divine principles – 1) Yahweh demonstrated His capacity to deliver the righteous out of their trial; and, 2) that the ungodly have been earmarked by the Almighty for judgment and destruction (Acts 17verses 30-31). Verse 17 uses metaphors to describe these vain talkers. Verses 18-19 reveal the true motives of those apostates. And verses 20-22 a further two metaphors describe their sickening behaviours. Those who once knew God's truth, but chose to turn away are described in two tragic pictures which illustrate God's perspective. These reprobates are like dogs eating their own vomit; or like washed pigs returning to their miry muddy past. Audio Player

Today's gospel installment: 06-01-2025 Today's Gospel Installment: 06/01/2025 Sermon Title (s): 1. The Korah Rebellion, 2. He stood between the dead and the living. Text: Numbers 16 1. We get to the story of Israel sometime after their exodus and wandering in the wilderness of the desert. 2. And the LORD sought to preach another sermon of our need of redemption through the rebellion of Korah. 3. Israel was always a rebellious people despite experiencing the presence of God in their midst. 4. But the Lord would with the Korah rebellion preach many wonderful gospel truths of the spiritual condition of men and women that to say we are nature rebels without a cause and naturally in trouble. 5. And that rebellion brings about God's wrath and judgment. 6. And God's wrath demands propitiation if the plague must be removed. 7. This is wonderful message and I pray the LORD will give you spiritual ears to hear and understand it. AND IT IS FREE!

TODAY'S TREASUREAnd Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi: is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do service in the tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the congregation to minister to them, and that he has brought you near him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also? Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together.

Numbers 16–18 brings us one of the most dramatic turns in Israel's wilderness journey — with rebellion in the camp, a high-stakes showdown, and God's unmistakable response. But this isn't just a story about judgment. It's a story about mercy, leadership, and second chances.   We talk about Korah's rebellion and what it reveals about the human heart, but also how God defends His holiness with grace — raising up Aaron, once the maker of the golden calf, to intercede for the people. And even from the fallout of Korah's sin, we see redemption stories in the surprising legacy of his sons, who go from a broken family line to writing worshipful psalms that still speak to us today.   It's a story of rebellion after rebellion, yes — but even more, it's a story of rescue and redemption— and how God continues to write stories of grace, even in the wilderness.   For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/numbers-16-18/

Psalm 84:11–12For the LORD God is a sun and shield;the LORD bestows favor and honor.No good thing does he withholdfrom those who walk uprightly.O LORD of hosts,blessed is the one who trusts in you!Last week, we looked at the authors of Psalm 84—the sons of Korah. This week, we'll look at the Psalm itself. I went back and revisited some thoughts from an earlier episode, as well as adding new thoughts and commentary.  Paraphrasing F.B. Meyer: In our need, God becomes exactly what we lack—light in darkness, protection in battle, grace for the moment, and glory to come.I found “grace for the moment” by remembering that God doesn't withhold good. He gives us Himself. He gave us His beloved Son and sent His Holy Spirit to live in us.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Psalm 84:1-2To the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.How lovely is Your tabernacle,O LORD of hosts!My soul longs, yes, even faintsFor the courts of the LORD;My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.Though Psalm 84 has long been a favorite of mine, this is the first time I ever looked into who the (human) authors were — the “sons of Korah.” Now that I know more about them, this Psalm is all the sweeter. What a beautiful shift of heart and reputation they had. I'll tell you all about it in this episode. Second chances and redemption stories reminded me of how "Amazing Grace" is all the sweeter when you know the story of John Newton.  All these thoughts brought to mind the song, "Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)," written by Joel Houston and Jonas Myrin, which I will play for you at the end. If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

Message from Matt Sweetman on May 11, 2025

Numbers 16 reveals a powerful story of redemption through the rebellion of Korah and the contrasting faithfulness of his sons. Though marked by an inherited legacy of shame, the sons of Korah chose a different path—one that ultimately points us to Jesus, whose mercy and righteousness make true transformation possible. In Him, we are invited to step out of old identities and into the courts of God, not defined by our past, but clothed in Christ and made new.

The Unchanging Word Bible study continues in the book of Jude verses 11-13.In verse 11, Dr. Mitchell discusses the way of Cain, salvation without sacrifice, and the error of Balaam, commercialization of spiritual things, and perishing in the gainsaying of Korah, which is opposition to the authority of God. These three O.T. examples are given as comparisons to the current rash of teachers who have despised and rejected the Savior Himself. Even our current society, politics and culture, is permeated with such people.In 2Peter 2, Peter also writes of these false teachers. Read that chapter as well.As Dr. Mitchell reminds us from 2Peter 3, "God is not slack concerning His promise, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."Open your Bible to Jude 11 and join us with Dr. Mitchell.

I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2598 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I'll guide you through the trails of life's challenges, opportunities, and moments of insight that come directly from the Word of God. It's an honor to journey together, digging deeper into the Psalms and finding strength, comfort, and wisdom for everyday living. Today, our trek continues in Psalm 55. Specifically, we're exploring verses 15 through 19. In this powerful section, we hear King David wrestling deeply with feelings of betrayal, pain, and anger—yet ultimately turning to God, reaffirming his faith in divine justice. These verses speak candidly about human emotions, vividly expressing David's honesty before God and reminding us of the tension between our desire for justice and our trust in God's perfect timing. First, let's read Psalm 55:15-19 from the New Living Translation: 15 Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them. 16 But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me. 17 Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice. 18 He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me. 19 God, who has ruled forever, will hear me and humble them. For my enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God. David's Raw Desire for Justice (Verse 15) David begins this section with a strikingly harsh request: “Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.” At first glance, these words can be shocking. David's anger and pain leap off the page. We might feel uncomfortable reading such blunt honesty. Yet, there's powerful authenticity here. David is openly expressing a deep longing for immediate justice because his pain from betrayal is incredibly real and personal. The phrase “let the grave swallow them alive” echoes the dramatic story in Numbers 16, where Korah, Dathan, and Abiram rebelled against Moses, and God caused the earth to open up and swallow them alive as judgment. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, such judgment represented God's swift and direct action against rebellion and wickedness. David isn't asking merely out of spite; he's calling upon God's known character of righteousness, believing that justice demands intervention. Evil had taken root deeply in his betrayers—friends turned enemies—who had rejected God's ways and embraced wickedness wholeheartedly. David sees their sin clearly, and he pleads passionately for God's righteous judgment. Illustration: Imagine watching someone intentionally harm a child. Most of us would feel an immediate sense of righteous anger, desiring swift justice to protect the innocent. David's intense words capture this same passion for justice. He's deeply hurt by betrayal from those who once walked closely beside him. His reaction is raw and honest. Application: Have...

In our last episode, Korah and his posse decided that they wanted to present offerings to the Lord, but the Lord God has made clear, that Aaron and his sons were to receive the priesthood as an inheritance. When this rebellious cohort presented offerings, the ground beneath them opened up and swallowed them alive. Today, the Lord makes it clear that Aaron and his sons are to guard the tabernacle and the priesthood from iniquity. Later, the people rebel again when there is no water to be found. God instructs Moses to speak to a rock so that it will produce water, demonstrating God's holiness, but Moses fails to trust the Lord's instruction. In so doing, he is told that he and Aaron will not enter the land with the next generation.Numbers 18 - 1:01 . Numbers 19 - 8:01 . Numbers 20 - 12:28 . Psalm 55 - 17:59 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

You'd think that by this point, the people of Israel would have settled on the well-established conclusion that Moses is in charge by command of the Lord and by the signs and wonders performed that confirm he is God's chosen leader. Even so, in today's reading, a man named Korah incites a rebellion against Moses, questioning his authority. Armed with the conclusion that the entire community of Israel is holy, he contends that Moses and Aaron have no right to go before the Lord exclusively. Korah and 250 men appear before the Lord, and what happens next is unprecedented. Later, God gives Israel a symbol in the tabernacle to remind them of what took place and to discourage future challenges to the authority of Moses and Aaron.Numbers 16 – 1:01 . Numbers 17 – 10:49 . Psalm 53 – 13:05 . Psalm 54 – 14:22 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Send us a textIn the Bible the name Korah is synonymous with rebellion.  Korah was a cousin to Moses and Aaron and tried to overthrow them and assume the leadership of Moses and the newly created priesthood established by God for Aaron and his descendants only.  It's a tragic story that reflects many of our own rebellious desires against God and a careful study of the story reveals how human ambition and pride can easily destroy a family, community, church etc.  On the other hand, when we realize we are in God's will and things aren't going well with our leaders, we can trust that God is teaching us how to submit to Him by submitting to the leaders in a way that is pleasing to God.  

We talk about Psalm 85, the Sons of Korah, and what it means to be saved by a God who saves even the sons and daughters of rebels.

Verse 11 of Jude. "What sorrow awaits them! For they follow in the footsteps of Cain, who killed his brother. Like Balaam, they deceive people for money. And like Korah, they perish in their rebellion."

Numbers 26 records the second census of the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. This census takes place after the previous generation, which had been condemned to die in the wilderness due to their disobedience, has nearly passed away. The chapter serves both a practical and symbolic purpose, reaffirming God's faithfulness in preserving His people despite their failures. Key Themes and Events in Numbers 26 1.The Purpose of the Census •The first census, recorded in Numbers 1, was conducted to organize Israel for military and administrative purposes. •This second census, taken near the end of Israel's wilderness journey, determines how the land of Canaan will be allocated among the tribes (Numbers 26:52-56). •It confirms that God has sustained the people, even after the previous generation's rebellion. 2.The Census Results •The chapter lists the population numbers for each tribe, excluding the Levites, who are counted separately since they have no land inheritance. •The total number of men aged 20 and older able to go to war is 601,730, slightly less than the first census (603,550 in Numbers 1). •The changes in numbers show the impact of divine judgment (plagues, rebellions) and God's continued blessing. 3.Notable Events and Figures Mentioned •The Fate of Korah's Rebellion (Numbers 26:9-11): The chapter reminds readers of how Korah's followers were swallowed up by the earth, but his descendants survived and later became significant figures in Israel's worship. •Zelophehad's Daughters (Numbers 26:33): The mention of these women sets the stage for an important legal case in Numbers 27, where they seek inheritance rights, showing early biblical discussions on women's rights. 4.The Judgment on the Previous Generation •Numbers 26:64-65 states that none of the men from the first census, except for Joshua and Caleb, were still alive. This fulfills God's promise that those who doubted Him would not enter the land. 5.The Levites' Census •The Levites are counted separately (Numbers 26:57-62) because they do not receive a land inheritance but are dedicated to serving in the Tabernacle. •The total number of Levite males is 23,000, counted from one month old and up. Spiritual and Theological Lessons •God's Faithfulness: Despite Israel's failures, God ensures a new generation will enter the Promised Land. •Divine Justice: The consequences of rebellion are evident, as the older generation does not survive, emphasizing that sin has consequences. •Preparation for the Future: The census is a step toward fulfilling God's promises to Abraham about the land inheritance. •Hope and Renewal: Though the previous generation perished, the next generation stands ready to receive God's promises. Numbers 26 serves as a pivotal transition, marking the end of one era and the beginning of another as Israel stands on the brink of entering Canaan.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

On our last episode, God sent spies into the land of Canaan, the land He promised to give them, but when they saw their foes, they brought back a negative report, and refused to venture onward. Today, God resolves to wipe them out for their rebellion, but Moses intercedes for the people, pleading with God to act with faithful and steadfast love. Instead, God resolves to keep their generation out of the land, promising that their children would inherit it instead. Later, a man named Korah incites a rebellion against Moses, questioning his authority. Armed with the conclusion that the entire community of Israel is holy, he contends that Moses and Aaron have no right to go before the Lord exclusively. Korah and 250 men appear before the Lord, and what happens next is unprecedented.Numbers 14 - 1:14 . Numbers 15 - 9:30 . Numbers 16 - 16:26 . Psalm 33 - 26:20 . :::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

Fr. Mike dives into the recurring issue of the Israelites rebelling against God and remaining stuck in their past as we read about the revolt of Korah, Dathan and Abiram against Moses and Aaron. Today's readings are Numbers 16, Deuteronomy 15-16, and Psalm 97. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Numbers 17 describes how God reaffirmed Aaron's priesthood after the rebellion of Korah and his followers. Following the dramatic events in Numbers 16, where God judged the rebels and sent a plague upon the Israelites for their continued murmuring, the people still questioned whether Moses and Aaron were truly chosen by God. To settle the matter once and for all, God commanded a test that would demonstrate His divine selection. God instructed Moses to collect a staff from the leader of each of the twelve tribes of Israel, with each leader's name inscribed on their respective staff. Aaron's name was written on the staff representing the tribe of Levi. These staffs were then placed in the Tabernacle before the Ark of the Covenant, where God's presence dwelled. God declared that the staff belonging to the man He had chosen would sprout, and this would end the complaints of the Israelites against His appointed leadership. The next day, when Moses entered the Tabernacle, he found that Aaron's staff had miraculously budded. Not only had it sprouted, but it also produced blossoms and ripe almonds, a clear sign of divine selection. Moses brought out all the staffs and showed them to the Israelites, and each tribal leader took back their own staff. However, God commanded that Aaron's staff be kept as a permanent sign before the Ark of the Covenant, serving as a warning to prevent further rebellion. Upon witnessing this miracle, the Israelites were filled with fear and awe, realizing the seriousness of challenging God's authority. They expressed their fear that they might die if they came too close to the Tabernacle, finally understanding the sacredness of God's appointed order. Numbers 17 highlights God's power to confirm His chosen leaders and serves as a reminder that divine authority is not to be questioned lightly. Aaron's budding staff became a symbol of God's affirmation and a warning against rebellion. This chapter emphasizes the importance of obedience, respect for God's order, and the consequences of doubting His decisions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Numbers 16 recounts the rebellion led by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram against Moses and Aaron. These men, along with 250 prominent leaders from Israel, challenged the authority of Moses and Aaron, claiming that the entire congregation was holy and that Moses and Aaron had taken too much power for themselves. The rebellion began when Korah, a Levite, along with Dathan and Abiram from the tribe of Reuben, gathered 250 men to challenge Moses' leadership. They argued that all Israelites were equally holy and accused Moses and Aaron of exalting themselves over the community. Moses, in response, fell on his face before God and proposed a test. He instructed the rebels to present incense before the Lord, and God would reveal whom He had chosen. He also reminded the Levites that they already had a special role in serving in the tabernacle and were overstepping their boundaries by seeking the priesthood as well. Dathan and Abiram refused to meet with Moses, accusing him of leading the people out of Egypt only to let them die in the wilderness. Their defiance angered Moses, and he prayed to God not to accept their offering. The following day, Korah and his followers stood at the entrance of the tabernacle with their censers. The glory of the Lord appeared, and God warned Moses and Aaron to separate from the rebels because He was about to destroy them. Moses pleaded with God not to punish the entire congregation, and God commanded the people to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Immediately, the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan and Abiram, along with their families and possessions. Fire from the Lord then consumed the 250 men who had offered incense. After this dramatic event, God commanded that the censers of the 250 rebels be hammered into a covering for the altar as a warning to the Israelites. However, the people continued to murmur against Moses and Aaron, blaming them for the deaths. As a result, a plague broke out among them. Aaron, following Moses' instruction, made atonement with incense, running into the midst of the congregation to stop the plague. Even so, 14,700 people died before the plague was halted. Numbers 16 powerfully illustrates the consequences of pride, rebellion, and defiance against God's chosen leadership. It reinforces the importance of recognizing God's authority, the power of intercession, and the necessity of obedience. The chapter serves as a warning against challenging divine order while also highlighting God's justice and mercy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Psalm 84 WorksheetWhat is different in the heading of Psalm 84 from others we have read so far in Book 3 of the Psalms (Psalms 72-89)?4 of the last 6 Psalms in Book 3 of the Psalms will be by the Sons of Korah. They had written 7 of the Psalms that appeared in Book 2. Some of them were the ______________________________ for the Temple (1 Chronicles 26:1). Psalm 84 reads like the Psalms of _______________________ we will come to (Psalms 120-134). Perhaps it too was sung on the way to worship at Jerusalem! Psalm 84 easily divides into three 4-verse stanzas marked by the Selah divisions. As I read the Psalm look for a name of God that occurs 4 times in the Psalm. Also look for another word that occurs in each of the 3 stanzas.The word for ______________________ opens Psalm 1 and closes Psalm 2, another “call-back” to those foundational Psalms! __________________________ devotion for God and His house V. 1-4Heartcheck time: Do verses 1-2 come anywhere close to expressing the feeling you have when you think about coming to church? The Psalmist didn't go to the Temple with a sense of “have-to,” but “____________________ to”!And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. -John 17:3I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD!” -Psalm 122:1Perhaps in verse 3 the Psalmist is reflecting on getting to see birds flying and in their nests with their young as they walked to Jerusalem. They are saying that their home is with God! Verse 4 makes you wonder if the priests and the singers and the gatekeepers often heard _______________ exclaim how fortunate they were to get to live and minister at the Temple complex. Psalm 134, the final Psalm of Ascent. ___________________________ to worship God at His house V. 5-8What does he have in mind by pilgrimage?Going from wherever he lived to the Feasts in Jerusalem, or any other time he was able to go “________” to worship there. Spiritually speaking, Jerusalem is “up” above every other place, so it was called going “up.”Baca means “weeping” or also balsam trees. Coming into Jerusalem from the west you'd see some balsam trees. Perhaps the Psalmist had passed through rain as he went to Jerusalem. Weeping also makes us think of the many times we are going to church after it has been a ____________________ week. Verse 7 contains some irony – the longer walk the more weak and weary you become. But when you greatly anticipate what _____________________ you when you arrive, you actually feel stronger as you get close to arriving. In this case, arrival means getting to appear before God in the place He is worshipped in a special way!But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of God. -2 Cor. 3:18 Verse 8 ends this stanza with a personal prayer for this strength that comes from God! More gushy ____________________ to God V. 9-12Verse 9 is a corporate prayer that celebrates the _________________________, the one who will cause us to go from strength to strength, from glory to glory! Verse 10 should be all of our heart's cry – that we would be found ministering in God's house and for Him _______________________ than found in sinful places pleasing Satan. God gives us grace now – common grace as we live, saving grace to have faith in Jesus. One day we will be with Him in glory!But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. -1 Peter 5:10This delightful Psalm ends the same way Psalm 2 does – Blessed is the person who _______________ in God!

In this thought-provoking Sabbath Lounge discussion, we tackle key issues surrounding Torah observance, the 'Once Saved Always Saved' doctrine, and the fate of Korah in Scripture. We explore the tension between modern Christian views and the deeper teachings found in the Torah, particularly as it relates to how we observe the Sabbath and other biblical principles. While we respect Jeff Schwarzentraub's love for the Scriptures, we respectfully disagree with his views on the "Once Saved, Always Saved" doctrine.  https://brave.org/ Was Korah saved? What does the Torah really teach us about salvation, obedience, and grace? We may not have all the answers, but we aim to encourage thoughtful reflection on these vital topics. Join us for an insightful conversation that digs into Scripture and challenges common assumptions, while seeking a deeper understanding of God's Word.

Jude 11c; Numbers 16

2025 Fellowship Meeting. Lic. Braden Rogers considers the danger and escalation of rebellion that stemmed from Korah. From 1 to 3 to 250 to 14 thousand to the whole congregation, the rebellion of sin draws others in and escalates very quickly. In spite of our nature of rebellion, God is still very gracious to bless […]

Whenever there is an authority structure, there is going to be friction among the people involved. Today we're studying Numbers 16 which records one of the most infamous insurrections in scripture. This passage shows us the heart of the people against God's appointed leaders; and it shows how the Lord handled their complaints. Join us for another sobering study of God's Word!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Verse 1 says that Korah was a “son of Levi” (as in a descendant of Levi). How might Korah's heritage have influenced his view of himself and his worthiness to represent the people to the Lord and the Lord to the people?  2.    In verse 2, how did Korah mount this rebellion against Moses and Aaron? How many men were part of this rebellion? What was their reputation like? What can we surmise about this rebellion, based upon who these men were? 3.    What the three complaints were recorded in verse 3, that Korah and these other people presented to Moses? How might people make similar accusations against church leaders today? 4.    In verse 3, the people essentially accused Moses of pride. What did Moses do in verse 4? Was that an indication of pride? If not, what? How was this different than Korah and his crowd? 5.    What was Moses' suggestion about how to determine who had been chosen by God?  6.    Why was Moses surprised, in verse 9, that Korah and his crowd wanted even more prestige and influence among the people?  7.    What happened to Korah and his fellow rebels in verse 31? Why do you think the Lord's judgment was so severe? If God had allowed this rebellion to continue, what do you think might have happened to the theological health of Israel? 8.    In verse 41 and following, how did the congregation of people react? What did their reaction reveal about their view of Korah / Moses / the Lord? How did the Lord react to them? 9.    How did Moses respond, on behalf of the people, in verses 48-50? Why? 10.    What principle from 1 Corinthians 10:10-11 helps us understand the danger of grumbling? How should we celebrate the role the Lord has given us among His people? 11.    The podcast mentioned that the Lord gave qualifications for leadership in 1st Timothy 3 and Titus 1. How do these qualifications help other elders ascertain if someone is truly called to be an elder? What should someone do if they want to be an elder but their own elders indicate they're not ready or not qualified?      Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

In every generation there are those who creep into the church and engage in the gainsaying of Korah: coming against the Word of God. Korah, a close relative to Moses, was unwilling to face Moses directly. Instead, he spread his disgruntlements to others, convincing men of renown to outnumber and rise up against the man of God. His perspective was completely warped, his path was marked with egregious lies, and he treated the position he was specially chosen to do as menial and trivial. As a warning to the church in every age, Jude highlights Korah last; a stark reminder that God will judge the rebellious. This is why we are to keep ourselves in the love of God and keep contending for the faith.

Welcome to Day 2553 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2553 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 44:1-8 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2553 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2553 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we'll dive into Psalm 44:1-8 from the New Living Translation. These verses reflect on God's mighty deeds in the past, His faithfulness to His people, and a call to trust Him in the present. Psalm 44 is attributed to the sons of Korah, a group of temple musicians known for their heartfelt and poetic psalms. In the first eight verses, the psalmist recalls God's great works in history and expresses confidence that His power and guidance remain active. It's a reminder that while we honor what God has done, our faith must be alive in the present. Let's begin by reading the passage together: Psalm 44:1-8 (NLT) 1 O God, we have heard it with our own ears— our ancestors have told us of all You did in their day, in days long ago: 2 You drove out the pagan nations by Your power and gave all the land to our ancestors. You crushed their enemies and set our ancestors free. 3 They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was Your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from Your face that helped them, for You loved them. 4 You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel. 5 Only by Your power can we push back our enemies; only in Your name can we trample our foes. 6 I do not trust in my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me. 7 You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; You disgrace those who hate us. 8 O God, we give glory to You all day long and constantly praise Your name. Remembering God's Faithfulness in History (Verses 1-3) The psalm begins with a reflection on God's past faithfulness: “O God, we have heard it with our own ears—our ancestors have told us of all You did in their day, in days long ago.” This verse highlights the importance of remembering and passing down stories of God's mighty works. The psalmist recalls how God delivered His people, drove out nations, and gave the land to Israel as an inheritance. In verses 2 and 3, the psalmist emphasizes that these victories were not achieved by human strength: “They did not conquer the land with their swords; it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory. It was Your right hand and strong arm and the blinding light from Your face that helped them, for You loved them.” These verses acknowledge that Israel's success came solely from God's power and love. This historical perspective is significant because it reminds us that the same God who worked in the past is still at work today. The psalmist's words challenge us to recognize that our victories, too, are the result of God's hand, not merely our efforts.

Welcome to Day 2548 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2548 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 42:1-4 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2548 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2548 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we'll reflect on Psalm 42, specifically verses 1 through 4, from the New Living Translation. Psalm 42 is a deeply personal and emotional psalm, capturing the longing of a soul that feels distant from God. It's attributed to the sons of Korah, a group of temple musicians, and it beautifully expresses a heartfelt yearning for God's presence. In these opening verses, we find imagery that speaks to seasons of spiritual dryness, a thirst for God, and memories of past joy. Let's begin by reading the passage together: Psalm 42:1-4 (NLT) 1 As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, O God. 2 I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before Him? 3 Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, “Where is this God of yours?” 4 My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration! A Thirst for God (Verses 1-2): The psalm opens with a vivid and relatable image: “As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, O God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before Him?” This poetic metaphor captures the intensity of the psalmist's desire for God. Just as a deer in a dry and barren land desperately seeks out streams of water to quench its thirst, the psalmist yearns for the presence of God. This imagery of thirst is significant. Thirst is one of the most basic and urgent human needs. When you're truly thirsty, nothing else matters until that thirst is satisfied. The psalmist uses this comparison to convey the depth of his spiritual longing—his soul is parched, and only God's presence can quench it. Illustration: Think of a traveler lost in the desert, searching desperately for water. Every moment without it increases their longing. In a similar way, the psalmist feels spiritually dry, yearning to experience the refreshing presence of God once again. Many of us have experienced seasons when we've felt distant from God, longing for the connection we once had. This psalm reminds us that such longing is natural and even healthy—it's a sign of our soul's deep desire for its Creator. The psalmist also refers to God as the “living God,” emphasizing that his longing isn't for rituals or traditions but for a real, personal relationship with a God who is alive and active. When he asks, “When can I go and stand before Him?” he's expressing a deep desire to return to the temple, the place where he once felt closest to God....

Book 2 of the Psalter opens with a collection of psalms from the Sons of Korah. Psalms 42-43 were written by someone who had become separated from Jerusalem and was unable to return to the Temple. His heart's desire for home where he could once again worship God is poured out in these psalms.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
