I believe the book of Revelation is intentionally shaped by the rhythm of the seven Jewish feasts, with deep echoes of the Exodus and Israels wilderness journey woven throughout its visions. We have already seen how this works in chapter 1, where the imagery echoes Passover. Passover marked Israels deliverance from slavery through the blood of a substituteand in Revelation 1:1216, that substitute is revealed in all His risen glory. Jesus stands among His churches as the victorious Lamb who was slain and now lives forever. Because of His sacrifice, the Christian belongs to God. If you have been redeemed by Almighty God through His Son, what is there to fear? Jesus Himself answers that question: Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades (Rev. 1:1718). Our confidence is not rooted in our circumstances, but in the One who has conquered death itself. As we move into Revelation 23 and read the seven letters to the churches, the dominant echo is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which immediately followed Passover. This feast called Gods redeemed people to live holy lives, set apart for Him (Lev. 11:4445; 1 Pet. 1:1617). Israel removed all leaven from their homes as a visible reminder that they belonged to the Lord and were no longer to live under the old patterns of corruption. That same call still comes to us today: You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body (1 Cor. 6:1920). Each of the seven churches faced real and pressing challenges in their own dayand what they struggled with are many of the same things we struggle with today, just dressed differently. While we will look at each church individually, here is a brief snapshot of what we will encounter: The church in Ephesus had lost its first love. The church in Smyrna was about to suffer tribulation for ten days. The church in Pergamum struggled with faithfulness to sound doctrine. The church in Thyatira tolerated a false teacher within the congregation. The church in Sardis was spiritually lethargic and nearly dead. The church in Philadelphia faithfully clung to the word of God. The church in Laodicea was lukewarm and missionally useless. In every one of these churches, there was the danger of leavensin quietly working its way through the house. And the call of Christ was to remove it: through renewed love for Jesus and for one another, faithful endurance in suffering, a commitment to truth, intolerance for evil, vigilance against spiritual apathy, unflinching obedience to Christ, and a wholehearted devotion to the mission of God. About forty years before Revelation was written, Paul wrote about Gods expectation for His church: Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Eph. 5:1-2). Revelation 1 is about the One who makes our salvation possible. Revelation 2-3 addresses the kind of people He calls us to be. So, when we come to Revelation 4, we encounter the One on the throne who is holy, holy, holy! The City of Ephesus When the gospel came to Ephesus, it was a wealthy and influential trading city, best known for the Temple of Artemis (also called Diana), one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The citys economy, culture, and moral life centered on the worship of this goddess. Artemis worship was deeply sexualized and demonic, marked by ritual immorality and idolatry (1 Cor. 10:20). Ephesus was a place where spiritual darkness was not hiddenit was celebrated, institutionalized, and profitable. Into this city, the gospel came with unmistakable power, as it always does in Gods timing and in His way. What we read in the epistle to the Romans was experienced in Ephesus: For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes... (Rom. 1:16). When the apostle Paul preached Christ in Ephesus, lives were transformed, and the worship of Artemis was directly challenged. So disruptive was the gospel that those who profited from idolatry feared economic collapse, admitting that Paul had persuaded many that gods made with hands are not gods at all (Acts 19:26). Paul spent over two years there, and in this spiritually hostile environment, God birthed a faithful churchthe same church later addressed by Christ Himself in Revelation 2. What makes Jesus words to Ephesus so sobering is not the citys darkness but the fact that a church born in such devotion, perseverance, and truth would later be warned: You have abandoned the love you had at first (2:4). So what happened? To answer that question, we need to first recognize the many things Jesus praises the church for. What the Ephesian Church Was Doing Right The Ephesian church was commended for many things by Jesus such as their toil, patient endurance, and intolerance for evil. Heraclitus, a native of Ephesus and philosopher, spoke with open contempt of his citys moral corruptionso severe that later writers summarized his viewby saying no one could live in Ephesus without weeping.1 The fact that the church was able to endure for forty years in a city known for its sexual promiscuity and demonized idolatrous worship, while holding on to biblical orthodoxy, is staggering! Because of their orthodoxy and fidelity to the Word of God, the church was intolerant of evil, refused to ignore false teachers, and shared Jesuss hatred of the Nicolaitans. Forty years earlier, Paul warned the elders of the Ephesian church: I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears (Acts. 20:29-31). This is what the church did well, and Jesus praised them for it. Now, notice what Jesus does not say to the church in Ephesus. He does not say they were being too orthodox. He does not say they were too truthful, or that their intolerance of evil, false teachers, and the works of the Nicolaitans was too extreme. Jesus does not tell the church to dial it back but instead celebrates these as examples of what they were doing well. What the church did well was refusing to yield to the pressures from their city to conform. Before we look at what the church got wrong, we need to address who the Nicolaitans were and why Jesus hated their teaching. From what we know, the Nicolaitans were a heretical Christian sect associated with the teaching of Balaam (Rev. 2:14-15). They taught that the grace of God permitted freedom to engage in the kinds of things their pagan neighbors enjoyed, such as sexual immorality and full participation in pagan temple feasts. Why? Because grace covered it all. We will come back to Balaam when we look at the church in Pergamum, but for now what you need to know is that Balaam is known for his false teaching that served to seduce the men of Israel to engage in sexual immorality with the daughters of Moab that also resulted in the worship of their gods in place of obedience and worship of Yahweh (see Num. 25). The Nicolaitans did not deny Jesus, they just reinterpreted what obedience to Jesus really meant, in that you could both be loyal to Jesus and actively pursue and participate in the kinds of things the Word of God commands the people of God to flee from. The Ephesian church was rightfully commended for their hatred and intolerance of the works of the Nicolaitans because Jesus shares their hatred for the same reasons. Listen carefully. Jesus does not merely disagree with teachings of the Nicolaitans He hates them. He hates any belief that suggests a person can remain loyal to Him while willfully embracing the very sins He died to free us from. The cross was not a license to make peace with sin; it was Gods declaration of war against it. To claim Christ while pursuing what nailed Him to the tree is not freedomit is self-deception. Christ did not die to make sin safe, but to make His people holy. 1 Richard D. Phillips, Revelation, ed. Richard D. Phillips, Philip Graham Ryken, and Daniel M. Doriani, Reformed Expository Commentary (Phillipsburg, NJ: PR Publishing, 2017), 91. What the Ephesian Church Got Wrong So what was it that the church in Ephesus lost? Well, we know it wasnt the churchs orthodoxy. It was the love they had at first. What love did they have at first? I believe the love the church lost was a combination of their love for Jesus and others. I believe this because of what the apostle Paul wrote in his epistle to the Ephesians and what Jesus said the church needed to do to regain the love they had lost. First, lets look at Jesus criticism in verses 4-5, But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. The way back to regain what they had lost was to first remember where they had fallen or had lost sight of their love, then to repent by doing the works they had done at first. What were the works they had done at first? We are given a few clues in Ephesians about the church from what Paul says at the beginning and the end of his epistle to the Ephesians. 1st Clue: For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers... (Eph. 1:15-16) 2nd Clue: Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible. (Eph. 6:24) I believe that the love the Ephesian church lost had to do with the love they had for Jesus and for one another. The New Living Translation captures this in their translation of Revelation 2:4, But I have this complaint against you. You dont love me or each other as you did at first! When a group of religious leaders asked Jesus to identify the most important commandment, His response was clear: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:3739). Genuine love for God leads to love for othersyou cannot claim to love God while refusing to love those who bear His image. As our love for God grows, it overflows into love for those around us, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ. If you find this hard to accept, consider the words of the apostle John: If someone says, I love God, but hates his brother, that person is a liar; for anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20). I believe the Ephesian church, first known for their faith in Jesus and their incorruptible love for Him, became the catalyst that fostered in them a love for one another, which they were known for in the early days of the churchs existence. Their love infused their faith in Jesus, and their love for all the saints was the cocktail God used to push back evil and transform lives! What Revelation 2:1-4 teaches us is that Jesus wants our obedience, but He also wants our hearts! In fact, if Jesus has your heart, He will have your obedience. Conclusion I believe the Ephesian church is listed first among the seven churches because of the danger we face when what we believe and what we do are no longer tethered to a living love for Jesus and His people. Listen carefully. Rather than criticizing the Ephesian church for its zeal for the truth of Gods Word, Jesus praised them for it. Orthodoxy is essential to the spiritual health of both Christians and the church as a whole. When believers abandon orthodoxy, spirituality does not become freer or deeperit becomes hollow and lifeless. So do their churches. But love keeps orthodoxy from hardening into something Jesus also hated. When truth is severed from love, orthodoxy collapses into legalism. And legalism is not holiness; it is a corruption of orthopraxyright living. Christian, we are called to be holy as our heavenly Father is holy. Scripture commands us: As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy (1 Pet. 1:1416). But the way we pursue holiness is not through cold precision or moral superiority. It is through the kind of love the Ephesian church once hadand then lost. This is the first of seven ways Christ calls His people to cleanse His house of leaven. What is that love? Scripture defines it plainly: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth Love never ends (1 Cor. 13:48). This is the love Jesus spoke of that must be true of His followers: By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35). We live in a nation deeply fracturedso fractured that many believe we are in a cold civil war. Civil conversation between the left and the right is nearly impossible. But it must not be that way in the church Jesus redeemed from the world. Our love for Christ must overflow into genuine love for one anotherstrong enough to allow disagreement without division, conviction without contempt, and truth without hatred. Let me take this one step further. If you love the Jesus who died to ransom people from every tribe, language, people, and nation, then you must be liberated from the partisan blindness that grips both the left and the right. Christian, you belong to another kingdom. Your allegiance is not to a political ideology but to King Jesus. Please hear me: the world will not see, hear, or receive the gospel from the left or the rightbut only from Jesus Christ Himself. By Gods design, His gospel is not entrusted to government but to His church. The mess in the White House, ournation, and the world is evidence that what people need is the One who makes the Gospel the Gospelnamely, Jesus! If you cannot see thatif you cannot believe that while still calling yourself a Christianthen you are in danger of the very thing that threatened the church in Ephesus. You have lost your first love. So I leave you with the same words Jesus spoke to them: He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

Have you ever felt like a spectator in your spiritual life, watching from the sidelines while others experience God's presence? Pastor Dave challenges us to move beyond observation into authentic participation, revealing how true worship isn't about personality but about positioning our hearts before God. Through powerful biblical examples—from Jehoshaphat's victory through praise to Paul and Silas's midnight worship—he shows how God consistently responds to genuine worship with breakthrough, freedom, and transformation. Whether you're seeking deeper connection or facing impossible walls, this message inspires: God responds when we worship. Watch now to discover how your praise can shake foundations and unlock chains!Psalms 150Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!2 Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!3 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!5 Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.2 Chronicles 20 It happened after this that the people of Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat. 2 Then some came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar” (which is En Gedi). 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 4 So Judah gathered together to ask help from the Lord; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.5 Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, 6 and said: “O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You? 7 Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? 8 And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying, 9 ‘If disaster comes upon us—sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.' 10 And now, here are the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir—whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them and did not destroy them— 11 here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit. 12 O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”13 Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the Lord.14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. 16 Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord.19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high.20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” 21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:“Praise the Lord,For His mercy endures forever.”22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. 23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them.23 For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.24 So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.Joshua 6 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”6 Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord.” 7 And he said to the people, “Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the Lord.”8 So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the Lord advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!' Then you shall shout.” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and lodged in the camp.12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! 17 Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. 19 But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are [b]consecrated to the Lord; they [c]shall come into the treasury of the Lord.”20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.Acts 16:25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. 28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

Hechos 13:22 “Quitado este, les levantó por rey a David, de quien dio también testimonio diciendo: He hallado a David hijo de Isaí, varón conforme a mi corazón, quien hará todo lo que yo quiero”.La vida espiritual cristiana se sostiene sobre un principio fundamental: la obediencia como un vínculo de amor entre el Padre y nosotros. No obedecemos para ser amados, sino porque ya somos amados en Cristo Jesús.Pensemos en el día a día: Como autoridades, ya sea con hijos o subalternos, esperamos que se sigan instrucciones. Sin embargo, en un hogar saludable, la obediencia no es una imposición; es el fruto natural de una relación sana. Cuando los padres invierten vida, cuidado y dirección, los hijos responden buscando darles alegría. Ese es la mejor señal de una vida espiritual sana, Jesús lo resumió en Juan 14:23 "Respondió Jesús y le dijo: El que me ama, mi palabra guardará; y mi Padre le amará, y vendremos a él, y haremos morada con él.” Y nos dejó esta promesa: el Padre lo amará, y ambos harán de ese corazón obediente su hogar, su morada eterna.¿Cuál cristiano, qué persona que haya tenido un encuentro genuino con Dios no anhela agradar a Dios? Todos queremos conocer su voluntad y todos queremos agradarlo de muchas maneras. Pero debo decir una cosa, hay muchos grupos, hay muchas religiones donde el agradar a Dios es una agonía; donde agradar a la deidad es una agonía.Hay religiones donde las personas hacen peregrinaciones y sacrificios tremendos solo para tratar de sentir que tienen algún tipo de acceso hacia la deidad. Y ahí el cristianismo es completamente distinto, porque en el cristianismo el amor de Dios conquistó los corazones de aquellos que llamó después sus hijos, no sus siervos, sus hijos. Y en esos hijos nace, por el poder del Espíritu Santo, la obediencia. Porque Él nos amó, nosotros le amamos a Él. ¿Y cómo le amamos? Le obedecemos. Le preguntamos a Dios: ¿qué quieres de mí?, ¿qué anhelas en mi vida?, ¿cómo te puedo agradar en esta área?, ¿cómo te puedo agradar en aquella otra área?Muchos de nosotros, nos damos cuenta que la obediencia no es fácil. Muchas veces cuesta y muchas veces peleamos con nosotros mismos para hacer lo que es correcto y lo que entendemos que Dios quiere, pero Dios cifró toda la obediencia que nosotros podríamos darle como hijos en una sola persona, en el único que podía satisfacer su corazón de padre, el único que podría obedecerlo de manera perfecta: Se llama Jesucristo, Dios hombre. Nada más.Jesucristo es único, es precioso, es perfecto, es el único que tenía la capacidad de venir y obedecer a Dios de manera plena y perfecta, incluso aunque eso significara ir en contra de su comodidad y de su propia vida, porque tuvo que entregarla en una cruz para salvar a los desobedientes, que aunque quisiéramos agradar a Dios no podíamos; y Él, la ofrenda perfecta, el perfecto obediente, lo hizo por nosotros.Dios no tiene expectativas de obediencia de ninguno de nosotros, no las tiene, no podría tenerlas, porque nosotros somos seres humanos que fallan. Por eso Él cifró ese vínculo de obediencia, de amor, en su Hijo, que es el único cuando se hace carne que podría hacerlo; y luego puso a su Hijo en nosotros los que queremos obedecerle, para darnos la gracia y el poder de la obediencia. Así es que aquellos que queramos caminar con Dios en esa relación intima, necesitamos sí o sí ir a través de Jesucristo y tenerlo en el corazón y tener una relación viviente, dinámica, constante, con Jesucristo a través del poder del Espíritu Santo, porque Jesús es la clave de nuestra obediencia.A la luz de esta obediencia perfecta de Jesús, debemos mirar nuestra propia realidad. Y en la Biblia encontramos a David. David es sin duda alguna, uno de los personajes bíblicos más conocidos y más admirados:Es considerado un modelo de valentía por haberse enfrentado al famoso enemigo acérrimo del pueblo de Israel, Goliat, de nacionalidad filistea. Se calcula que David tenía apenas unos quince años cuando enfrentó al gigante.Era virtuoso en la música. Interpretaba un instrumento complejo, el arpa. Poeta, compositor, muy probablemente también tenía una voz muy melódica y cantaba, o sea, que era todo un artista. Sabemos que escribió más de setenta y cinco salmos, el libro más conocido de la Biblia y más citado. Hombre devoto a Dios, líder nato, descrito por el mismo profeta Samuel como un hombre conforme al corazón de Dios.David fue ungido por Samuel luego de que Dios descartara a Saúl por su insubordinación y su desobediencia. Pero David duró quince años para asumir el trono, huyendo de una feroz persecución que desató contra él el rey Saúl. Durante ese tiempo de persecución y de dificultad, Dios prueba a David, Dios desarrolla su liderazgo, Dios hace de la fe de David una fe profunda.Derrotó a todos los enemigos del pueblo de Israel: Antes de su caída, David fue un guerrero incansable. Su éxito no era por su estrategia, sino porque "Jehová daba la victoria a David por dondequiera que iba" (2 Samuel 8:6). La derrota de los Filisteos: No solo fue Goliat; David los sometió y les quitó el dominio de las tierras de Israel. La conquista de Jerusalén (Jebuseos): David tomó la fortaleza de Sion, un lugar que parecía inaccesible, y la convirtió en la "Ciudad de David". La victoria sobre Moab y Edom: Extendió los límites del reino, asegurando que Israel no tuviera amenazas en sus fronteras. La derrota de los Sirios (Arameos): David enfrentó grandes ejércitos de carros y caballería, estableciendo guarniciones y recibiendo tributo de naciones extranjeras. “Y reinó David sobre todo Israel; y David hacía justicia y equidad a todo su pueblo.” 2 Samuel 8:15.David asume el reino a la edad de los treinta años y gobierna por cuarenta años. El reino de David es considerado la referencia de lo que es un buen gobierno. David trajo paz frente a sus enemigos, unió toda la nación bajo un fuerte liderazgo espiritual y trajo la prosperidad.Pero David no era un hombre perfecto como nosotros conocemos. David también es conocido por sus tropiezos y por sus caídas, por sus equivocaciones y pecados. El más conocido es el que tuvo cuando cometió adulterio con Betsabé. Es la más escandalosa de sus caídas y a pesar de lo vergonzoso que fue este incidente, ha quedado registrado en detalle en la Escritura, para que tomemos muchas lecciones y muchas enseñanzas para nuestras vidas.Pero esto que ocurrió con David trae grandes lecciones:Lección 1 (Somos vulnerables): Ninguno de nosotros es inmune al pecado No importa los años que tengamos en la fe, el conocimiento teológico o las victorias espirituales logradas. Todos nosotros somos vulnerables ante la tentación. Cuando esto ocurre en la vida de David, él no era un muchacho. Estaba ya consolidado en su reinado, se encontraba en un buen momento de su gobierno. David decidió quedarse en Jerusalén y delegar la guerra. Es en esas condiciones óptimas en que David cae estrepitosamente en el más infame de sus pecados. David cayó cuando estaba "ocioso" en el terrado. El contraste es que mientras su ejército estaba trabajando, él estaba descansando donde no debía. El descuido en la disciplina diaria (como la oración o leer la palabra) es el terreno donde crece la tentación. Esto habla a gran voz de nuestra vulnerabilidad espiritual. Como dice 1 Corintios 10:12: "Así que, el que piensa estar firme, mire que no caiga.”Lección 2 (Natán): Déjate confrontar, recibe la reprensión Si todos podemos caer, todos deberíamos estar dispuestos a ser confrontados. En 2 Samuel 12, el profeta...

The Book of Numbers is presented as a pivotal narrative in the biblical story of God's people, illustrating their preparation and pilgrimage from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab, where they stand poised to enter the Promised Land. Central to the book is the theme of divine guidance, as the cloud of God's presence leads the nation through the wilderness, emphasizing that God's people are not merely preserved or purified, but actively journeying under His direction. The book unfolds in three movements—encampment at Sinai, testing in the wilderness, and preparation at the plains of Moab—each highlighting the need for faithful leadership, obedience, and trust in God's promises, even amid repeated failures and rebellion. Through diverse genres including narrative, law, poetry, and prophecy, Numbers reveals the identity of God's people as those centered in His presence, with profound theological echoes in the New Testament, particularly in Christ's crucifixion as the ultimate fulfillment of the bronze serpent and the call to faith. Ultimately, the book serves as both a warning against unbelief and a call to embrace God's way of life, with enduring lessons for the church today.

Welcome to the Jeep Life Podcast! Eric joins in as our guest host and a great episode follows. In this solo episode, I reflect on the trails that shaped me most—on and off the rocks. From being humbled on Metal Masher in Moab, building confidence on BA Trail 34 at AOAA, learning patience the hard way on Lower Anthracite and witnessing the power of community at Top of the World during a Tread Lightly project, each trail left a lasting lesson. I also touch on the longest recoveries, the most scenic views, and why Jeeping has always been about more than the vehicle—it's about the people, the patience, and the respect we bring to the trail.Tag us in your IG feed or FB.

Attorney Brian Stewart walks us through the forthcoming Utah Supreme Court arguments in the Petito family’s wrongful‑death suit against Moab police. Why did the high court take the case? How could Utah’s governmental‑immunity laws change? And what might this decision mean for families statewide who allege police failed to intervene before violence occurred?

Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany Old Testament: Micah 6:1-8 1Hear what the Lord says: Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. 2Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the Lord has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel. 3"O my people, what have I done to you? In what have I wearied you? Answer me! 4For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of slavery; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 5O my people, remember now what King Balak of Moab devised, what Balaam son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the saving acts of the Lord." 6"With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?" 8He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Psalm: Psalm 15 1 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *        who may abide upon your holy hill? 2 Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *        who speaks the truth from his heart. 3 There is no guile upon his tongue;   he does no evil to his friend; *        he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor. 4 In his sight the wicked is rejected, *        but he honors those who fear the Lord. 5 He has sworn to do no wrong *        and does not take back his word. 6 He does not give his money in hope of gain, *        nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. 7 Whoever does these things *        shall never be overthrown. Epistle: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 18For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." 20Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. 22For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, 23but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 26Consider your own call, brothers and sisters: not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, 29so that no one might boast in the presence of God. 30He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31in order that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord." Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 1When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.4"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. 8"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Welcome to Day 2787 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2787 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:10-13 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2787 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-seven 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. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Divine Stomp – Storming the Gates of the Impossible.   Today, we arrive at the grand finale of our journey through Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the final stanza, verses ten through thirteen, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek, we stood in the War Room of Heaven. We heard the Divine Oracle in verses six through nine, where Yahweh looked at the map of the Middle East and claimed His territory. We heard Him declare, "Gilead is mine... Manasseh is mine... Moab is my washbasin... I will wipe my feet on Edom." It was a breathtaking assertion of ownership. We saw God claiming the hostile nations as His servants—His washpots and His shoe-racks. It was a moment of high theology and divine confidence. But today, the scene shifts from the map on the wall to the mud on the ground. In Psalm One Hundred Eight, verses ten through thirteen, King David takes that divine promise and tries to walk it out in the real world. And he immediately hits a wall—literally. He finds himself standing outside the "fortified city" of Edom. The map says Edom belongs to God. But the reality says Edom is locked up tight behind impregnable walls. This is where the rubber meets the road in our spiritual lives. It is one thing to sing about victory in the sanctuary; it is another thing to secure it on the battlefield. It is one thing to believe God owns the problem; it is another to see Him conquer it. In these final four verses, we will see the transition from Promise to Petition, and finally to Participation. We will learn that the only way to breach the fortified city is to abandon human strategies and rely on the Divine Warrior to do the trampling. So, let us draw our swords one last time and march toward the gate. The first segment is: The Crisis of Geography: The Impregnable City. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse ten. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? The psalm moves from God's voice back to David's voice. And David has a logistical problem. God just said in verse nine: "I will wipe my feet on Edom."   David responds: "Okay, Lord. But who is going to get me inside?" "Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?" To understand the weight of this question, we have to look at the geography. The ancient capital of Edom was Bozrah, and later Petra (Sela). Edom was legendary for its natural defenses. It was carved into the red sandstone cliffs. The only way in was through a narrow canyon called the Siq. It was a natural fortress that armies broke themselves against for centuries. It was the "Fortified City" (Ir Mibzar) par excellence. When David

Praise Series #29 The Song of MosesExodus 15:1 “Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.”I thought this was a good verse to remind us that praise and worship is not just good when we are in need of God's help. It is also really important to praise and worship the Lord when He comes through and answers our prayers. Exodus 15:1-21 is all about Moses and the Israelites singing to the Lord for saving them from the Egyptians.In case you are unfamiliar with the story, God asked Moses to lead the Israelites out of captivity from Egypt, as they were slaves there. The pharaoh finally said they could go, and then, when they left, he changed his mind and set out after them. The Israelites got to the Red Sea and had nowhere to go as they could not cross it. God parted the Red Sea so that the Israelites could cross it on dry ground. As soon as they were through it, the Egyptian army started to cross it, and God released the water, and they all drowned.This is where Exodus 15 picks up. The beginning part is called “The Song of Moses.” Let's look at the words of the song.Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;     horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and my might,     and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,     my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a warrior;     the Lord is his name.Let's pause and look at these few verses. They acknowledge what the Lord has done; He has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider, He has thrown into the sea. However, it then goes on to talk about God and how great He is. It says that the Lord is my strength and my might. He has become my salvation. These are all things that you can say when you are looking to praise the Lord. They are also great things to remember when you are struggling to think of reasons to be grateful. You can be grateful that God is your strength and your might. He is your salvation. You can trust Him to come through and help you every time. It goes on to say,4 “Pharaoh's chariots and his army he cast into the sea;     his picked officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
5 The floods covered them;     they went down into the depths like a stone.
6 Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power—     your right hand, O Lord, shattered the enemy.
7 In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrew your adversaries;     you sent out your fury, it consumed them like stubble.Again, these few verses are a mix of stating what the Lord did and praising Him for how amazing He is.  It says the Lord's right hand is glorious in power and that it shattered the enemy. Do you have enemies that need to be overthrown? The Israelites couldn't have seen this coming. I am sure that when they reached the Red Sea and saw how high and fast-moving the water was, they thought they would be captured. I am sure that not a single one of them could have predicted what God would do next. The same is true for your situation. Just because you can't see a way out doesn't mean there isn't one. Just because you feel as though your time has come doesn't mean it will. I have seen God deliver people I know and love from very difficult situations. Ones that seemed like there was no way out. Your situation is not hopeless. God is in it, and if He is not saving you from it, then He will help you through it.8 At the blast of your nostrils, the waters piled up,     the floods stood up in a heap;     the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake,     I will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.     I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.'
10 You blew with your wind, the sea covered them;     they sank like lead in the mighty waters.These verses are good because they show us that it does not matter what our enemies say. It doesn't matter how badly they threaten us. All we need to remember is how great our God is. These verses talk about how the enemy was saying things that were probably scary to hear. No one wants to hear that they will be overtaken and that the enemy will have their fill of our goods. However, the Israelites didn't have to worry because God took care of the enemy. He drowned every single one of them. It does not matter how great your enemy is; God is greater. It doesn't matter what your enemy is, either. It could be a physical illness, a mental illness, a financial problem, or a legal problem. Your enemy might be someone or something you can see, and it might be something you can't see, like an illness. Whatever your enemy is, trust me when I say that God can either save you from it or help you through it.11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?     Who is like you, majestic in holiness,     awesome in splendor, doing wonders?
12 You stretched out your right hand,     and the earth swallowed them.13 “In your steadfast love, you led the people whom you redeemed;     you guided them by your strength to your holy abode.These verses are great because they show the Lord that they know how amazing He is. They are showing the Lord that they know that there is none greater than the Lord. In the time they lived, there were other gods that people prayed to and worshiped, and so the Israelites were letting God know that they know He is the one true God. That no one and nothing compares to Him. I also love that the last verse in this section reminds us that God's love is a steadfast love. Steadfast means firmly loyal or constant; unswerving. That is God's love for you. His love is firmly loyal, constant, and unswerving. We might think when we do something wrong, God stops loving us, or that he loves us less than he did. This is not true. He may not like what you did, but His love for you is steadfast. It does not change. It is constant, even if you don't return His love. Even if you turn away from Him or reject Him. His love is still always right there. It doesn't go anywhere, and this verse is a good reminder of that.
14 The peoples heard, they trembled;     pangs seized the inhabitants of Philistia.
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed;     trembling seized the leaders of Moab;     all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.
16 Terror and dread fell upon them;     by the might of your arm, they became still as a stone
until your people, O Lord, passed by,     until the people whom you acquired passed by.These verses show us that when we allow God to save us. When we call out to the Lord, He saves us, and we tell people about it, they learn about the power of God as well. The Israelites had many enemies all throughout the ages. Had they been traveling from Egypt on their own, they may have been attacked by many other nations. However, all the land heard about their God and how he had parted the Red Sea so that they could pass by, and then had released the waters when their enemy tried to cross the waters on dry ground.Sometimes you will have enemies that know God is on your side, and they won't engage. They might try to hurt you in a roundabout way, but they won't come straight at you because they know how powerful God is. It says in these verses that their enemies trembled. They were dismayed, and terror and dread fell upon them. Isn't it amazing what God can do when we let Him?
17 You brought them in and planted them on the mountain of your own possession,     the place, O Lord, that you made your abode,     the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.
18 The Lord will reign forever and ever.”19 When the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his chariot drivers went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.It ends by restating what God did for them and to their enemies. It is proclaiming for all to hear that God is the reason they are alive. God is the one who brought them safely through the Red Sea. He allowed them to walk through on dry ground and yet brought back the waters of the sea upon the enemy.God can do this for you, too. Whatever your struggle is, turn it over to the Lord, and he will help you through it. While you are in it, praise the Lord. The more we praise the Lord, the more our lives will change. I know that may seem like a crazy statement. You may wonder how praise and worship can change your life. However, since we are almost to the end of our praise series, I pray that you don't wonder how your life will be changed. I pray that you have seen over the course of this series that praise and worship are capable of changing your life in the best kind of ways. I love you, and I am rooting for you!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, I want to thank you for helping us through this praise series. I want to thank you for all the scriptures you have given me and for all the help you have given me in writing each devotional. Lord, we want to turn to you. Why is it so hard? We want to praise you in the good times and the bad. We just get distracted with all that is going on. We get overwhelmed, especially if we have been in this situation for a long time. Please help us avoid feeling overwhelmed. Help us to not feel hopeless in our situation. Remind us of your goodness and your steadfast love, Lord! We ask all of this in accordance of your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Day 2785 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 108:6-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2785 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty-five 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. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Divine Cartography – God Claims His Geography. Today, we are back on the trail, continuing our exploration of the "Warrior Poet's Remix," Psalm One Hundred Eight. We are trekking through the middle section, verses six through nine, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the first five verses of this psalm, we heard the sound of a "fixed heart." We watched King David wake the dawn with his lyre and declare that God's love is higher than the heavens. We saw him take an old song of lament (from Psalm Fifty-seven) and remix it into a new anthem of confidence. He ended that section with a cosmic prayer: "Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth." Today, the scene shifts from the cosmic to the concrete. David moves from singing about the stars to looking at a map. He moves from the "heavens" to the dirt and rock of the Middle East. In verses six through nine, we hear God Himself speak. It is a divine oracle spoken from the Holy Sanctuary. In this oracle, Yahweh acts like a victorious General standing over a map of the ancient Near East. He points to specific territories—Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Moab, Edom, Philistia—and claims them as His own. He essentially says, "This belongs to Me. And this belongs to Me. And that over there? That is just My washbasin." This is a powerful assertion of Divine Ownership. In the Ancient Israelite worldview, where nations were believed to be owned by their respective gods (Chemosh for Moab, Milcom for Ammon), Yahweh is declaring that He is the Landlord of everything. He is redrawing the borders and reclaiming the inheritance for His people. So, let us stand in the war room and listen to the strategy of the King. The first segment is: The Prayer for Rescue: The Right Hand of Power. Psalm One Hundred Eight: verse six. Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power. Before the oracle begins, David offers a short, sharp prayer. This acts as the bridge between the praise of the first five verses and the prophecy that follows. "Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power." The literal Hebrew here is quite evocative: "That Your beloved ones may be delivered; Save with Your right hand, and answer me!" First, notice the identity of the people. David calls them "Your beloved people" (yedid-echa). This comes from the same root as the name Jedidiah (which was Solomon's name given by God, meaning "Beloved of Yahweh"). This is crucial for our confidence in prayer. David doesn't appeal to God based on Israel's military strength or their moral perfection. He appeals to God's affection. "Lord, these are the ones You love. Therefore, rescue them." Second, notice the method...

For decades, Otho Bridge was a beloved gathering place for a small community of Moab locals who lived in Mill Creek Canyon. That era has come to an end—the last person left the canyon a few years ago. Then, last spring, the Bureau of Land Management dismantled the site at Otho Bridge, including the famous sandstone chessboard. In this story, we speak with a BLM archaeologist and a member of that original Mill Creek community about the line between art and vandalism, community and public land. Photo by Emily Arntsen/KZMU

Can a used Nissan with over 100,000 miles and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) survive the salt flats of Bonneville and the rock crawling trails of Moab? In this episode of VADA Live, host Dan Carrigan sits down with Tim Pohanka, Executive Vice President of the Pohanka Automotive Group, to discuss his hit new YouTube series, "Tour Detour: The Good, The Bad, & The CVT." Tim and two fellow dealers set out to bust the myths surrounding Nissan's CVT reliability by taking three high-mileage vehicles on a punishing 1,500-mile road trip across the American West. From river crossings to desert sand dunes, they wanted to prove that these cars could handle conditions no engineer ever intended.

It's the same decision we all might face when our Moab feels safe, but our Bethlehem is calling. In Part 2, we pick up our conversation with Stephanie Watson, author of Ruth's Need for a Redeemer, to explore Ruth's bold decision to cling to Ruth—not to her own comfort, and to cling to God's promises lived through Naomi's life. The scene is raw: Naomi urges a return, grief narrowing her vision; Orpah turns back. Ruth stays, and that single act reframes what healthy attachment looks like in a world that often confuses strength with self-sufficiency.Press play for a fresh, grounded take on choice, grief, community, and redemption.

December 10, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this opening lecture for a new quarter-long class held in the auditorium, the instructor provides a lively, topical overview of the book of Deuteronomy. Rather than proceeding chapter-by-chapter, the course will draw out lasting lessons and themes from Deuteronomy; this episode sets the stage by answering the basic who, what, when, where, how, and why questions and by sharing several trivia-style facts to engage students. The episode covers authorship and audience (Moses as the primary speaker, with the final chapter likely recorded by another; addressed to the generation raised in the wilderness on the plains of Moab), dating (placed roughly between 1446 and 1406 BC in many traditions), and the meaning of the title (from the Greek Septuagint meaning a “second” giving of the law). The instructor also explains Deuteronomy's place as the fifth book of the Pentateuch/Torah and notes practical manuscript facts—34 chapters, 959 verses, chapter 28 as the longest, chapter 34 as the shortest, first-word and last-word markers—and how frequently Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy. Major themes highlighted include the Shema and the call to love God with all heart, soul, and strength; a second reiteration of the law; warnings against idolatry; guidance for kingship; God's faithfulness in provision; commands to remember and obey; and the covenantal structure of blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The instructor emphasizes Moses passing leadership to Joshua as a crucial narrative moment and points to Deuteronomy 18:18 as an early messianic promise pointing beyond the law. The lecture also sets out how the Old Testament, and Deuteronomy specifically, functions for Christians today: as example and instruction (1 Corinthians 10:6), as Scripture profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16–17), and as a means of revealing sin and pointing to the need for Christ (Romans and Galatians references). The instructor explains that while Christians are under the new covenant, studying the law helps us understand sin, God's plan, and the coming of the Messiah. Format and tone: the class promises an interactive, accessible approach with occasional trivia, classroom discussion, and successive sessions that focus more narrowly on key topics such as idolatry, covenant obedience, blessings and curses, and the relationship between the Old and New Covenants. There are no outside guests—this episode is led by the course instructor with student participation—ending on an upbeat note as the group prepares for deeper study in later sessions.   Duration 36:14

What does it take to run 240 miles through storms, sleep deprivation, mountains, desert nights, and total isolation, while raising two kids and leading a fast-growing career in healthcare?  Christine O'Hara Ryan joins the WealthStyle Podcast to share the truth behind completing the Moab 240, one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world, and how the experience reshaped her perspective on leadership, parenting, focus, and what we are capable of when we decide to move forward with intention. Christine explains how she trained for nearly a year around work and parenting, the storms that nearly stopped the race, the hallucinations, the fear, the support team that helped her push through the darkest stretches, and why she crossed the finish line with only fifteen minutes to spare. Her story is not just about endurance. It is about clarity, discipline, and the small steps that move every part of life forward. What listeners can expect in this episode: How Christine balanced nine months of training with parenting, leadership, and a demanding career What really happens inside a 240-mile ultramarathon, from weather breakdowns to sleep deprivation to hallucinations Why grit, discipline, and micro wins matter more than motivation Lessons from Moab that translate directly into family life, business, and personal growth And more!

A senior sales leader and ultra-endurance athlete, she has built a career transforming teams, elevating leaders, and driving meaningful growth across healthcare, medtech, and high-growth startups. She is known for bringing clarity to chaos, inspiring high performance, and building mission-driven cultures that move with both urgency and heart. In 2025, Christine completed the MOAB 240 — one of the toughest ultramarathons on the planet — crossing the finish line as the final official runner after five relentless days on the trail. Her endurance journey spans Ironmans, Mt. Kilimanjaro, collegiate hockey, and numerous ultra-distance events. She draws on these experiences to teach leaders how to cultivate resilience, lead with purpose, and stay committed when the path gets steep. Christine's message is simple: grit is built, not born — and anyone can rewrite what they believe is possible. At the core of her approach is focus — the courage to choose what matters most and the discipline to let go of everything that doesn't. Her leadership philosophy is shaped by long hours training alone on the trail: pace yourself, trust your team, stay present, and keep moving forward, one mile at a time. Most of all, Christine is a mom of two young kids — her greatest motivation and constant reminder that courage is contagious, and that bold lives are built by showing up, again and again, with heart.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 20 Januari 2026Bacaan: ".... Karena kami tidak mempunyai kekuatan untuk menghadapi laskar yang besar ini, yang datang menyerang kami. Kami tidak tahu apa yang harus kami lakukan, tetapi mata kami tertuju kepada-Mu." (2 Tawarikh 20:12)Renungan: Pada saat seorang pasien berobat ke rumah sakit harus siap dengan vonis apapun. Walau demikian, ada satu jenis vonis yang membuat siapapun tidak siap untuk menerimanya, yaitu jika pasien divonis penyakit terminal. Penyakit terminal adalah suatu keadaan di mana seseorang mengalami sakit yang tidak mempunyai harapan untuk sembuh yang diakibatkan kegagalan organ atau multiorgan sehingga sangat dekat proses kematian. Penyakit terminal bermacam-macam mulai kanker, alzheimer, komplikasi, dsb. Inti dari penyakit terminal adalah dokter sudah angkat tangan dan pasien hanya tinggal tunggu waktu kapan kematian datang menjemput. Sudah tidak ada sesuatu yang bisa dilakukan atau diupayakan lagi. Masalah dan tantangan hidup bisa terjadi kepada siapa saja. Namun selama kita masih bisa melakukan sesuatu untuk menghadapi masalah tersebut, kita tidak perlu khawatir. Tapi bagaimana jika semua jalan sudah buntu, sudah mentok, dan kita bahkan tidak tahu apa yang harus kita lakukan lagi? Seperti penyakit terminal, ini keadaan yang sangat gawat. Raja Yosafat pernah menghadapi "masalah terminal" seperti itu. Kerajaan Yehuda diserang oleh bani Moab, bani Amon, dan sepasukan orang Meunim. Menghadapi satu musuh saja berat, sekarang harus berhadapan dengan tiga musuh sekaligus dengan laskar yang sangat besar. Yosafat takut. Yosafat bahkan berada pada satu titik di mana ia tidak tahu lagi apa yang harus dia lakukan. Walau demikian masih ada satu hal yang bisa dilakukan Yosafat yaitu berseru kepada Tuhan! Justru ini adalah solusi terbaik untuk permasalahan yang dihadapinya. Terbukti, Tuhan ganti berperang bagi Yosafat dan memberi kemenangan besar kepada bangsa Yehuda. Jika saat ini kita dihadapkan dengan masalah yang rumit, yang mana kita bahkan tidak tahu lagi harus melakukan apa- apa, ingatlah bahwa kita masih punya Tuhan. Berserulah dan berharaplah kepada-Nya, maka pertolongan-Nya akan datang tepat pada waktu-Nya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku percaya apapun masalah yang aku hadapi saat ini, kalau aku mau setia datang pada-Mu, maka semua akan baik-baik saja. Amin. (Dod).

Feeling overwhelmed when you don’t know what to do? This devotional reflection centers on 2 Chronicles 20:12, where King Jehoshaphat faces an impossible battle and responds with humility, prayer, and complete dependence on God. When fear rises and answers feel out of reach, Scripture reminds us that fixing our eyes on God invites His power, peace, and deliverance into our circumstances. Through Judah’s story, we see how seeking the Lord first, admitting weakness, and trusting God’s sovereignty transforms fear into faith—and reminds us that the battle ultimately belongs to Him. Highlights Fear is often the moment God invites us to deeper dependence Jehoshaphat chose prayer and fasting instead of panic Admitting “we don’t know what to do” is an act of faith, not failure God responds when His people seek Him with honesty and humility Worship came before victory, not after Faith fixes our eyes on God, even when fear is present The battle is God’s, but obedience is ours Do you want to listen ad-free?

For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” - 2 Chronicles 20:12 ESV One afternoon, as I flipped open my Bible, my eyes landed on 2 Chronicles 20:12. As I reread the entire chapter, I was struck by what I uncovered in that passage. Picture this. The tribe of Judah receives word that three different armies, the Ammonites, Moabites, and those from Mount Seir, are plotting to attack them. When God’s people first entered the land, He had not allowed them to conquer Ammon, Moab, or Mount Seir (see Deut. 2). And now? The enemy was coming for God’s people. Not one. Or two. But three powerful armies. King Jehoshaphat, the king reigning over Judah at the time, was afraid. He was the leader. Perhaps he was even expected to have all the answers to protect Judah from this threat. But you know what struck me the most? As we read the passage, we notice the Scripture says, “Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the Lord” (v. 3). In addition, he proclaimed a fast throughout all of Judah. In the midst of fear, he turned to God and encouraged others to do the same. As I read that, I was instantly convicted. If a nation’s king could lead with such humility and grace, should not each of us respond the same? Yes, when Jehoshaphat saw that these armies were coming, he was afraid. How many of us can say the same? How many of us see something, are afraid, but then set our face to seek the Lord? How many times have I done that? Not as much as I wish. Think about it. Usually, so many of us are afraid and run to numb that fear. We often numb fear - whether through distractions or endless scrolling - instead of seeking God. It doesn’t really matter how we numb our fear. The fact is, we all have all been tempted to turn to something other than God when we are afraid. If we try to numb our fear with anything other than God, we will come away dissatisfied. Only God can truly satisfy us and give us peace. Turn to God. Not only did Jehoshaphat set his face to seek the Lord in his fear, but he chose honesty instead of what made him look good. He was upfront and honest with all of Judah, sharing in his prayer to God, “For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (v. 12). He could’ve tried to appear strong, like he had all the answers. But he openly and freely admitted he didn’t. This was a fix only God could get them out of. In essence, he was saying, “God needs to do this. God needs to work because I can’t.” And then, he sought the Lord in prayer and encouraged all of Judah to seek the Lord with him. His dependence on God is what defined his leadership and set an example for the people. In addition, I noticed that Jehoshaphat recognized God’s sovereignty. In the beginning of his prayer in verse 6, he says, "O LORD, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you." He recognized that God was sovereign and the only one who could save them. Second, he clung to God’s promises, recalling how the Lord had given them the land (v. 7-9) and trusting He could deliver them again. But even though God already knows everything, the Lord loves it when we share our hearts with Him. Finally, Jehoshaphat begged God to execute judgment on their enemies. “For we are powerless against this great horde that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you” (v. 12). Guess what happened next? The Spirit of the Lord came upon a man named Jehaziel, and he said (v. 15). “Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s'”. He goes on to give 3 specific instructions. Stand firm. Hold your position. See the salvation of the Lord on your behalf. Sometimes, the Lord allows us to go through difficult trials and drives us to our knees so that we can recognize and realize that we are powerless against whatever we are facing. Immediately after the Lord spoke to Jehaziel, Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground and worshipped the Lord. It is so inspiring to me that this is the first thing he did. His act of surrender and glory to God led Judah and Jerusalem to fall down on their faces, worshipping the Lord. But they didn’t stop there. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Scriptures tell us that they rose early in the morning and went out. Not only that, but they sang to the Lord and praised Him as they went out to battle. "And when they had begun to sing and praise, the Lord set an ambush against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed" (v. 22). I’m sure they still struggled with fear. But imagine if the men of Judah had allowed their fear to stop them from following God. Thank God they didn’t. This passage reminds me that fear may come, but faith fixes our eyes on God — and He fights for us. Pray with me: Dear Father God, please help me to walk in faith even when I’m afraid. To always seek Your face first instead of caving into my fears. I trust You to work everything out for my good and your glory and to make me even more like Jesus (Romans 8:28-31). In Jesus’s Name, Amen. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In hopelessness, but not rebellion, Naomi urges her daughters-in-law away from her and the Lord, and to return back to their old way of life in Moab. It is evident that this family was close and talked about the Lord. Orpah leaves, but Ruth in faith returns with her mother-in-law and encourages her. God always meets us in the return, and gives us fellow believers to remind us of His great love and care.

Join Tony and April on the **Jeep Talk Show** flagship episode for a casual, fun catch-up chat after a three-week break! In this laid-back discussion, they dive into hot Jeep topics, share personal takes, and keep the laughs rolling. Key highlights include: - **Jeep's discontinuation of the 4xe plug-in hybrid models** (Wrangler and Grand Cherokee) for 2026 – why it doesn't bother April (old-school simplicity wins), range anxiety fears, charging challenges in rural areas, and how PHEVs sometimes traded capability for electrification quirks. - **Mud Terrain (MT) tires vs. lockers** – which upgrade to prioritize first? They agree: go tires first for better overall traction (rocks, mud, emergencies), then add lockers. April shares her approach of testing without lockers first to learn the Jeep's limits and reduce drivetrain stress. - **Ham radio vs. GMRS for emergency/off-road comms** – Tony questions if ham is phasing out with modern tech (satellites, internet), but April champions GMRS (easy, no test, family license, Midland's Jeep-friendly setups like the MXT series with integrated mics for tight dashes). Great for trails where cell service fails! - **Wrangler 392 pricing gripes** – recent price drops (like the 2026 Moab 392 coming in ~$20K cheaper), the thrill of that Hemi V8 roar, and why it's worth the premium (plus jealousy over friends' new ones). - **Off-road pet peeves** from the round table fireside chat crew: dropdown steps on rock sliders, loud concert-level speakers blasting music on trails, rear dual-exit exhausts getting mangled, oversized wheels, hitch sliders, and trail judgment. - Bonus: Tony plugs his new interview-focused show **Tony Muckleroy** (check it out on YouTube/Spotify for paranormal chats, preppers, and more wide-ranging topics). If you're a Jeep owner, off-roader, or just love the community vibe, this episode is full of relatable rants, practical advice, and good-natured banter. Hit play for trail stories, gear tips, and that classic Jeep passion!

The Torah in Parashat Vaera traces the lineage of Moshe Rabbenu, informing us that he was son of Amram and Yochebed. Amram was a grandson of Yakaob Abinu's third son, Levi – specifically, he was the son of Levi's son, Kehat. Astonishingly, the Torah relates, Yochebed was Amram's aunt – she was the daughter of Levi, the sister of Kehat. The commentaries explain that Yochebed and Kehat had different mothers, and thus they were half-siblings. As such, the marriage between Amram and Yochebed was not forbidden by the Noachide laws, which apply to all mankind. These laws forbid marrying one's parent's full sister, but not a parent's half-sister. This union would, however, be proscribed by the Torah given to Beneh Yisrael. It turns out, then, that Moshe – the greatest leader and prophet in our nation's history, who brought us the Torah – was the product of a marriage that Torah law forbids. Moshe is not the only great leader with less-than-pristine origins. The Davidic line, which began with David and Shlomo and will – we pray very soon – culminate with Mashiah, also has its origins in problematic relationships. David descended from Peretz – the product of the relationship between Yehuda and his daughter-in-law, Tamar. David's great-grandmother was Rut, a convert from the nation of Moab, and although it was ultimately concluded that this marriage was permissible, there was considerable controversy as to whether a man may marry a woman from Moab. And the founder of the nation of Moab, Rut's ancestor, was conceived when Lot's daughter gave her father wine and had a relationship with him, thinking they this was needed in order to maintain the earth's population. Rav Menahem Recanti (Italy, 1223-1290) offers an explanation for this phenomenon, for why the great leaders emerged from less-than-ideal origins. The Satan, he writes, is always seeking to sabotage the rise of these righteous figures, to block these holy souls from descending into the world. Moshe brought us the Torah, which is the "antidote" to the Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination), the greatest weapon we have in our struggle to overcome the Satan's efforts to lure us away from the service of G-d. And the Gemara teaches that when Mashiah arrives, he will destroy the Satan so it could no longer hurt the Jewish People. Therefore, the Satan will do everything in its power to obstruct the transmission of Torah, and to prevent the arrival of Mashiah. For this reason, Hashem arranged that Moshe and David would be produced from unions that the Satan would never bother to disrupt. The Satan welcomes problematic relationships such as those of Lot and his daughters, Yehuda and Tamar, and Amram and Yochebed. He would never try to interfere with them, because this is precisely what he wants – relationships that are from the Torah's ideal marriage. Moshe and David needed to be produced this way for the purpose of avoiding the Satan's interference. This reminds us never to be discouraged by the challenges that we face in the pursuit of greatness. Whenever we try to achieve something significant, we are going to confront obstacles. Whether it's in the process of finding a spouse and raising a family, the process of learning Torah and spiritual growth, starting a new organization or project – the Satan is always going to try to interfere. Rather than be surprised and discouraged by the problems that arise, we should expect them, stay strong, and proceed with confidence, trusting that Hashem is always helping us in our efforts to defeat the Satan and achieve to the very best of our ability.

It's the same decision we all might face when our Moab feels safe, but our Bethlehem is calling. Support the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Support the show: Your Donation Matters Leave a review and rate the podcast: WRITE A REVIEW Make a tax-deductible donation through Heartlift International Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Send The Parable Podcast a TextHave you ever studied the names of God?  Today we are on week 2 of a message from our home church, as we were finishing up a story about King Jehoshaphat and his army.  Please enjoy this message wherever it may find you today.Message NotesDo not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.'”2 Chronicles: 20:15-17 Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever.” 2 Chronicles: 20:20-21As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 2 Chronicles: 20:22-23 “This triumph results from complete dependence on God.” Asbury Bible Commentary Yahweh Elohim El ElyonHere is the list that I was working from.  This list was helpful too.Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies. 2They entered Jerusalem and went to the temple of the LORD with harps and lyres and trumpets. The fear of God came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.2 Chronicles: 20:27-29"True worship doesn't put on a show or make a fuss; true worship isn't forced, isn't half-hearted, doesn't keep looking at its watch, doesn't worry what the person in the next pew is doing. True worship is open to God, adoring God, waiting for God, trusting God even in the dark."N. T.

Welcome to Episode 1407 of the **Jeep Talk Show**—we're now in our **16th year** delivering unfiltered Jeep talk, trail tips, mod advice, and real community vibes! In this episode, Tony dives into the **shocking news** that's rocking the Jeep world right now: **Stellantis has officially discontinued the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 4xe models** in North America starting with the 2026 model year. The Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe have vanished from Jeep's build configurator—no press release, no fanfare, just quietly pulled. We break down why this happened: ongoing recalls (battery fires, power issues, stop-sales), shifting demand with lower gas prices, the end of big EV incentives, and why simpler gas or mild-hybrid setups might make more sense for real off-roaders. Current 4xe owners—don't panic; get your recalls handled, and Jeep should keep supporting parts for years. Is this a smart pivot away from problematic tech, or a step back from "green"? We discuss the pros/cons and what it means for the future of electrified Jeeps. We also tackle the classic budget mod question: **Mud-Terrain (MT) tires first, or lockers?** Tires are the foundation—they touch the ground and give instant gains in mud, loose dirt, rocks, and looks (that aggressive stance!). Lockers shine in extreme rock crawling where wheels lift off, but on a budget, many Jeepers swear by starting with MTs for better "two-tire grip" across axles vs. four potentially spinning. We share real thoughts on why MTs often win for everyday wheeling, plus when lockers become essential. What's your pick? Drop it in the comments! Tony rants (again) about **Wrangler 392 pricing**—why are we still seeing these V8 beasts priced way too high (even after recent drops like the new Moab 392 specials coming in ~$20k cheaper than prior Rubicons)? With gas prices down and love for that Hemi torque/sound, Jeep could move way more units by making it more accessible—closer to a loaded 3.6 Rubicon premium. Come on, Jeep—keep the go-anywhere spirit alive without luxury pricing! Communications corner: Is **ham radio for emergency use** obsolete with GMRS, cell phones, and Starlink? We explore why ham still rules as a resilient backup (no grid/internet needed, global reach in disasters like hurricanes or EMP scenarios). GMRS is easier for trail chats, but build a layered plan—test your gear, know repeater backups, and stay ready. 73 to the hams out there! Bonus: Tony announces his **new interview show** (The Tony Muckleroy Show on YouTube & Spotify)—wide-ranging convos on anything interesting, starting with a personal one on paranormal experiences with his daughter. Check it out for ghosts, stories, or random deep dives! Thanks for watching/listening, Jeep family! Smash that **LIKE**, **SUBSCRIBE**, and hit the bell for more.

The book of Ruth opens with tragedy, no mention of God, and no relief from the hardship. Naomi has lost her husband, her sons, and is in the foreign land of Moab outside of the Promised Land. Yet, the Lord is present in the struggle. In the bitter providence that has no explanation, the Lord is still good and He is still God. He is the same today and always, that however life leads us - He remains.

Redención 2 - El regreso: Orfa vs Rut - Rut 1:6-18 - Julián Esquinas La desgracia llegó a la vida de Noemí y de sus nueras. Las tres se quedan viudas en una época en la que esto constituía una auténtica fatalidad. La ley del levirato demandaba que cuando una mujer enviudaba, un hermano o pariente cercano del difunto debía casarse con la viuda y así hacerse cargo de ella. Pero Noemí no tenía más hijos, por lo que decide volver a su tierra en Judá, ya que estaba viviendo en Moab, y despide a sus nueras recomendándoles que regresen a casa de sus padres y vuelvan a casarse porque aun eran jóvenes. Orfa y Rut están en una encrucijada. Deben decidir si quedarse con su suegra y así procurar el sustento para ella, o regresar a su antigua forma de vida. Ambas toman caminos diferentes que cambiarán y marcarán sus vidas para siempre. Igual nos ocurre a nosotros cuando nos presentan el camino de la salvación a través de Jesucristo: debemos elegir si seguirlo a Él con todas las consecuencias, o volver a nuestros caminos lejos de Él. ¿Y tú qué camino tomarás?

Send us a textThe spark wasn't love at first stride. Tayler Tuttle Peavey once hated running, chose softball, and struggled through PE miles—then found a coach who spoke the language of physiology and a path that led from Georgia to Colorado and, ultimately, to USATF national titles on the trails. We sit down to unpack how a hip labrum surgery, a health-first rebuild, and a sustainable coaching approach turned doubt into momentum and a breakout 2025.Tayler takes us inside the pivotal transfer from Georgia to CU Boulder, the up-and-down college years, and the moment she realized roads weren't the only way forward. She traces her first steps into trail racing—second at the Moab Trail Half after two years without a start—then the return to win Moab, a Twisted Fork statement, and a USATF 50K crown on runnable terrain that matched her strengths. We dig into Broken Arrow's shortened VK, the chaos of mass starts, and the strategic lessons she can't wait to apply when she lines up for the 23K.Training with David and Megan Roche, Taylor's blueprint centers on durability: weekly rest days, individualized intensity, and a mix of track, road, and trail sessions to keep speed sharp while building technical skill. She shares how she uses heart rate as a guide rather than a governor, why cross-training tools like Zwift, the elliptical, and stairs are staples, and how she keeps winter work efficient without unnecessary risk. Looking ahead, she's targeting the two-to-three-hour sweet spot—30K mountain races, Broken Arrow 23K, and a potential Golden Trail schedule—while staying selective with travel and open to the right sponsorship fit as she moves full time into the sport.We also talk bigger picture: how short trail can grow by inviting mass participation at accessible distances, why community and media coverage matter, and how the rising wave of D1 talent is raising the competitive bar. If you care about the future of mountain, trail, and sub-ultra racing—and the mindset it takes to thrive—this conversation delivers both inspiration and a practical playbook.Enjoyed the conversation?
