Meanwhile, the country of Israel descends into wickedness under the leadership of Jeroboam. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 13:11-32. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 1 Kings 13:18 from the King James Version.Episode 119: God had told the mysterious prophet, whom he sent to warn king Jeroboam, not to eat or drink anything in the city and not to return by the same way he came. So he refused the king's offer to go back to the palace and have a meal. Hearing what signs the mysterious prophet had done, an old prophet in the city left to go find the man of God. When he found him, he lied to him and brought him back into the city to enjoy a meal. But during the meal, God made his message clear that this meal would be his last because of his disobedience.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's reading (Matthew 5:38-42), Christ the Lord, in the Sermon on the Mount, exhorts us to nonresistance to evil.By the way, this passage deeply influenced Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.From a Catholic perspective, the ordinary way to face evil and resist demonic attacks is through a deeper union with Christ, and never through fear or engagement with the demonic powers.The Church teaches that Jesus Christ has already conquered Satan through His death and Resurrection (cf. Colossians 2:15).Our strongest spiritual protection is a life rooted in God's grace, remaining in a state of grace.Pray daily and read the Scriptures and Catholic spiritual books. Prayer keeps us close to God and strengthens us against temptation. Especially, The Holy Rosary.Attend Mass regularly, especially on Sundays and, if possible, weekdays.Go to Confession frequently.Receive the Eucharist worthily and with devotion.Strive to avoid serious sin and occasions of sin.Let's not forget that the sacraments are powerful channels of God's grace.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Lament Psalms | Psalm 13 Part 2 of The Psalms: A Complete Guide to Honest PrayerFeaturing a conversation between Ted Coniaris and Aubrey Sampson, with introduction and conclusion from John Ciesniewski.What if faith isn't about pretending everything is okay?Psalm 13 shows us that some of the most faithful prayers in Scripture begin with questions, pain, and confusion. In this episode, Aubrey Sampson joins Ted Coniaris to explore the gift of lament and why honest prayer is essential for spiritual growth.Lament Psalms teach us that going deeper with God does not mean hiding our struggles—it means bringing them honestly into His presence. Rather than turning away from God in suffering, lament teaches us how to turn toward Him with our grief, doubts, fears, and unanswered questions.In this episode you'll learn: Why lament is a vital but often neglected spiritual practice How Psalm 13 provides a model for honest prayer Why bringing pain to God is an act of faith How Jesus embraced lament during His suffering Practical ways to pray through seasons of grief, disappointment, and silence Whether you're walking through a difficult season or learning how to support someone who is, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, hope, and encouragement for the journey.Scripture: Psalm 13
The Great Rosary Campaign is an ongoing prayer and penance campaign for the conversion and strengthening of both Catholic and non-Catholic leaders.For this "Hollywood Edition" of the Great Rosary Campaign, let us pray for the conversion of one of the world's greatest film composers: Hans Zimmer. Whether it be "Prince of Egypt," "Gladiator," or Batman, Zimmer has written some of the world's favorite music. In gratitude for his work, and out of love for his soul, let us pray that comes to the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church, and that his gifts may be fully put in the service of Christ.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them. Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:Keeping the FaithMoral renovationConversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com
The Book of Nehemiah tells the story of the Israelites rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. But before we get to the action, we see Nehemiah's heart and his relationship with God through his prayer. He's a man who knows how to talk to a king, but more importantly, he knows how to talk to God. His prayer is a model for us, showing us how to approach God with reverence, humility, and a deep understanding of our need for Him. As we examine Nehemiah's prayer, we see that it's not just a list of requests, but a conversation with God: He starts by giving God glory, acknowledging His greatness and power. He then brings himself lower, recognizing his own sin and the sin of his people. He reminds God of His promises and asks for mercy, not just for himself, but for his people. He brings his request to God His prayer follows the same pattern as other prayers in Scripture, including many of the Psalms and the Our Father prayer. Join us as we delve into the Book of Nehemiah and discover how we can make our prayers more biblical and powerful.

The market is flooded. More entrepreneurs are coming. And the ones who will stand out aren't the ones who perfected somebody else's model. They're the ones who had the courage to be exactly who God made them to be. We just talked about what it really means to stand out in a flooded market (See episode 183), and today we're taking everything we uncovered straight to the Lord. Because knowing your differentiators is one thing. Having the courage to actually walk in them is another. This is your Monday prayer. We're bringing the fear, the resistance, the places where you've been hiding parts of yourself because you weren't sure they were enough. We're laying it all down and asking God to do what only He can do. If last week's episode stirred something in you, this one is the next right step. Come pray with us. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. And if this blessed you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. Need help standing out? Get my FREE Poisitioning Guide HERE

Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 1 Kings 12:28 from the King James Version.Episode 118: Jeroboam, Israel's new king, built a new capital in Shechem to separate themselves from Judah. However, because the temple of God was in Judah, people would still travel from his kingdom to worship in Judah. Jeroboam feared this would lead to the loss of his kingdom and his life. So he, like Aaron so many years before, made two golden calves and introduced them as Israel's new gods. Slowly Jeroboam added more and more idols into Israel's public worship. God would not stand for the corruption of His people and sent a prophet to let him know what would become of his idolatrous altar.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Psalm 74 is a corporate lament, sung and prayed by Israel in the midst of an unspeakable tragedy that has occurred at the hands of their enemies. And what I want us to see today is that these words were not just meant for a people 2,500 years ago. But that this psalm is just as useful and necessary for God's people today, especially as we face suffering and hardship from the enemy. The solution that Psalm 74 offers us is prayer.

To Live is Christ | Live Free Week 2 June 14, 2026 Message by Kyle Goen [Riverdale Campus Pastor] Scripture References & Sermon Points Philippians 1:12-30 • A Life Leveraged for the Gospel • A Life Labored for the Gospel • A Life Lived Worthy of the Gospel
The Bible is full of exhortations to pray and examples of people who prayed along with the prayers they prayed. But the only place in the Bible where any specific instruction about how to pray is given is in the Sermon on the Mount. Here in Matthew 6:5-15 and the parallel passage in Luke 11:1-4, Jesus provided His followers the most important teaching on prayer in the history of the world (i.e. The Lord's Prayer). As we will see in the weeks ahead, Jesus provided this epic prayer not for us to mindlessly and mechanically recite but to serve as a model, a guide, a pattern, or a blueprint for the kind of conversation we are to have with God when we pray. But before Jesus taught His disciples how to pray He had to teach them how not to pray. Like every other aspect of Judaism in those days, prayer had been corrupted and perverted by rabbinic tradition. Most Jews were completely confused about how to pray the way God wanted. Prayers had become standardized; words and forms had been established and prayers were read or repeated from memory with little or no attention paid to what was being said. So before Jesus could teach His disciples how to pray, He had to undo what they had already been taught about prayer. He warned about the TWO KINDS OF PRAYER we need to avoid because neither of them accomplish anything.
If God already knows the future, why should we pray? Discover how prayer, intercession, and God's sovereignty work together—and why your prayers matter.•Acts 6:4Malachi 3:6Hebrews 13:8Exodus 32:7-14Numbers 23:19Isaiah 55:8-9Matthew 3:2Mark 1:15Luke 17:20-21Luke 10:8-9Luke 11:20Psalm 66:18
SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 379, “Refusing to Humble Oneself,” Kim discusses the last king of Judah and some lessons listeners can learn from his bad choices. This is the first in a mini-series on the Fall of Jerusalem and the insights we can glean from what led to its consequences. Sadly, Zedekiah seemed like a fitting king to be on the throne as the last bits of the once God-fearing nation are taken into captivity for the evil lives they chose to live and the carnage they left in their wake. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 36:11-16 and Jeremiah 37:1-10, with 2 Chronicles 36:12-13 and Jeremiah 37:2 and 37:17 as the focal verses: 12 But Zedekiah did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah spoke to him directly from the Lord. 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, even though he had taken an oath of loyalty in God's name. Zedekiah was a hard and stubborn man, refusing to turn to the Lord, the God of Israel. 2 But neither King Zedekiah nor his attendants nor the people who were left in the land listened to what the Lord said through Jeremiah. 17 Later King Zedekiah secretly requested that Jeremiah come to the palace, where the king asked him, “Do you have any messages from the Lord?” “Yes, I do!” said Jeremiah. “You will be defeated by the king of Babylon.” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: When you hear the phrase “refusing to humble oneself,” does anyone immediately come to your mind? Pray that he/she will humble himself/herself.

Pray. Look Ahead. Set Your Heart. Endure.From the series, James: The Practice of Faith(bulletin here)
In Romans 15:30-33, we encounter a powerful appeal that challenges our understanding of prayer and vulnerability within the body of Christ. The Greek word 'parakaleo' - meaning to urge, appeal, or earnestly request - frames this passage with urgency and importance. What's striking is that the Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament and planted churches throughout the known world, doesn't end this section with requests for money, recognition, or applause. Instead, he asks for something far more valuable: prayer. This reveals a profound truth about spiritual leadership and community - even the most mature believers need the prayer support of others. Paul's request isn't self-centered but gospel-centered; he asks for protection as he returns to Jerusalem (ironically, to the very place where he once persecuted Christians) so he can continue his ministry. This passage invites us to examine our own approach to prayer and community. Are we willing to be vulnerable enough to ask others to pray for us? Do we follow through when someone shares their burdens with us, or do we offer empty promises of 'I'll pray for you' without actually doing it? The call here is to become a people who genuinely bear one another's burdens, who stir up one another to love and good works, and who don't neglect meeting together for mutual encouragement. Prayer isn't meant to be a hyper-spiritual, eloquent performance - it's simply conversation with our Father, who wants to hear from us about everything, including the needs of those around us.**Sermon Notes – Romans 15:30–33 – “An Appeal to Pray”****Text:** Romans 15:30–33 > “I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf…”---### 1. The Weight of “I Appeal to You” (Parakaleō) - Paul isn't making a casual suggestion; he's urgently calling for attention and response. - *Parakaleō* = to urge, exhort, strongly request, comfort, encourage. - Other places Paul “appeals”: - Romans 12:1–2 – present your bodies as living sacrifices. - Romans 16:17 – watch out for those who cause divisions. - 1 Cor 4:16; 16:15; Eph 4:1; 1 Thess 4:1 – walk worthy, imitate Christ, submit to godly leaders. - Idea: “Look at me. Listen. This really matters.”---### 2. The Specific Appeal: Pray With Me (v. 30–31) - “Strive together with me in your prayers” – prayer is hard work, shared labor. - Paul, the great apostle, openly asks for help. No spiritual lone rangers. - His requests: - Protection from unbelievers in Judea. - That his service to Jerusalem would be acceptable. - That he might come to Rome with joy and be refreshed. - His prayer is gospel-centered, not comfort-centered: protection **for mission**, not just ease.---### 3. Why This Matters for the Church **a. Appeal for Prayer** - Normal Christian life: asking for prayer, not pretending “I'm fine.” - Requires humility, vulnerability, transparency.**b. Encourage Those Who Ask** - Don't just say, “I'll pray for you” and walk away. - Listen, ask wise questions (as appropriate), pray *on the spot* when possible. - Keep checking in: bear one another's burdens (Gal 6:2).**c. Follow Through in Prayer** - Prayer is simple conversation with the Father, not performance. - Use reminders, texts, calls; let people know you're praying (Phil 1:3–5). **d. Pray for Leaders** - Spiritual leaders (pastors, elders, parents, civil leaders) carry heavy responsibility. - Like Paul, they need protection, wisdom, clarity, and perseverance.---## Practical Applications1. **Ask for Prayer This Week** - Tell at least one trusted believer one real struggle and ask them to pray specifically.2. **Pray Immediately** - When someone shares a need, stop and pray with them right then if at all possible.3. **Create a Prayer List** - Include: family, church leaders, one hurting friend, one non-Christian, one global need.4. **Gospel-Shape Your Prayers** - Add: “How does the gospel advance in this situation?” and pray toward that.5. **Commit to Pray for Leaders** - Choose one leader (church, home, or civic) and pray for them daily for the next week.---## Discussion Questions1. What does Paul's repeated “I appeal to you” reveal about how seriously he takes prayer? 2. Why is it hard for you personally to admit “I'm not okay” and ask for prayer? 3. When have you actually felt “striving together” with someone in prayer? What was that like? 4. How can we as a group move beyond “I'll pray for you” to real follow-through? 5. In what ways are your prayers currently more self-centered than gospel-centered? 6. What specific things should we be praying for our church's leaders right now?
