Podcasts about promised

The Red Comet burned brightly and briefly, bringing war and woe and prophecy. The life and reign of King Jaehaerys II is similarly described - short but meaningful. The last Blackfyre, the Ghost of High Heart, the Prince that was Promised. Not to mention the event that put him on the throne: Summerhall. This is the father of the Mad King, the grandfather of Daenerys and the man who gave Barristan his white cloak.Intro - (0:02:04)First Description - (0:03:43)Early Life - (0:07:58)Marriage, Prophecy, & Summerhall - (0:54:52)Reign - (1:50:56)Death - (2:11:54)Legacy - (2:15:35)HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Just dropping a latest episode as we're drawing close to the end of the year. Promised you an update long ago so now would be nice.

In Matthew 2:13-23, Darren Western walks through Joseph's journey from Bethlehem to Egypt and then to Nazareth, showing how God is at work in moments of sudden change and in long, ordinary seasons, keeping His promises in His Son, Jesus. As this final message in the "Promised and Expected King" series closes out 2025, what will you pack into 2026 as you trust and follow this King?

Date: 12/24/25Speaker: Joshua ChatmanTitle: The Savior PromisedScripture: Genesis 3:15

In the fourth and final episode of Promised & Fulfilled, hosts Greg and Nathan turn to one of the most hope-filled promises in all of Scripture. In “A Light to the Nations: Isaiah's Vision of Redemption,” they explore Isaiah 9 and the breathtaking declaration that a great light would shine on people walking in darkness. Spoken into a time of judgment, fear, and uncertainty, Isaiah's prophecy points forward to a coming King—one whose reign would bring peace without end. Greg and Nathan unpack how this promise finds its fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ, announced to the shepherds as “a Savior… who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11) and revealed as the true light who overcomes the darkness (John 1:4–5). This episode explores: The historical and spiritual darkness surrounding Isaiah's prophecy The meaning behind the messianic titles: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace How Jesus embodies the light, peace, and righteous rule foretold by Isaiah What it means to live today in the tension of the “already and not yet” of Christ's kingdom As the series concludes, this conversation invites listeners to rejoice that the light has already come—and to live with hope as we await the full and final fulfillment of His eternal reign. “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2, ESV)

In this prophetic message, Apostle Kathryn teaches on our calling as believers to walk in dominion and posses the land that God has given you.

The Promise of PresenceToday's Passage: John 14:25-27“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

Send us a textAlthough we celebrate the birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth on December 25 it is highly improbable that he was born on this day! The accounts found in Luke and Matthew do not give us an exact day they do relate a timeframe of the year. Consider Luke 2 and the revelation to the shepherds out in the fields at night. No shepherd would have his sheep in the wet cold winter in Israel! This is the season of little grazing grass necessary for their life and health. The time for flocks grazing is the Spring and Summer and early Fall but not Winter.John's gospel directly links Jesus with the fulfillment of the Feast of Israel recorded in Leviticus 23. After Jesus immersion by John and his return from the wilderness the Prophet Forerunner of the Messiah declared- "Look! The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29,35 The lamb and the shepherd are identified by Jesus as pictures of his own life and mission. Using the historical indicators identified in the gospel accounts mostly likely Jesus was crucified at the Passover in the Spring of AD 33 on Thursday or Friday April 2 ,3.  The shadow of Law meets its completion in Jesus dying as God's provided Lamb for the sins of his people.In like manner Jesus birth is connected to the Fall feast of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. The Hebrew lived in tents during their journey from Egyptian slavery to the Promised land. God also had his tent erected among them as they traveled. And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it. Exodus 25:8-9 John connects Jesus incarnation with Tabernacles in chapter 1 of his gospel. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.... 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.So does the writer of Hebrews in chapter 8,9,10. "Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man. (Hebrews 8:1)But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11-12Again using historical data and information given in the gospel accounts we can arrive at the approximate date for Jesus birth in the Fall. But the most important truth is not the date of his arrival but the fact of the historical birth of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us for us people and our salvation.    Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Christ Has Come – Week 4Episode Title: The Promised King & His Gift of Love*Romans 5:8; John 3:16–17; 1 John 4:9–10In this final Advent episode of Christ Has Come, Keith Harris turns our attention to the gift in which all the others converge—the love of God. Christmas is not the announcement of sentiment or seasonal warmth, but the declaration that God's saving love has entered the world in the person of Jesus Christ.Walking through three foundational passages, we see how Scripture defines God's love not by emotion, but by action.Together, we explore:How God demonstrates His love by acting first—sending Christ to die for sinners while we were still enemies (Romans 5:8).Why God gave His Son, not to condemn the world, but to rescue it through the incarnation and the cross (John 3:16–17).What love truly is, as defined by God Himself—not our love for Him, but His initiating love toward us in sending Jesus as the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:9–10).Why Christmas always leads to the cross, and how the incarnation reveals the depth, cost, and purpose of God's love.The invitation of the gospel, calling sinners to receive this love by faith and believers to rest again in the love that saves and sustains them.This episode reminds us that love is not something to admire from a distance—it is something to receive. Christmas proclaims that love has come near, taken on flesh, and walked willingly toward the cross so that sinners might live through Him.If you would like to see a written version of this study, complete with footnotes and cross-references, you can find it here.

The Promised King (2 Samuel 7:1-17) Daniel Nealon December 21, 2025 by Deer Creek Church

In the conclusion of our Promised One series, Pastor Alex Gowler shares a powerful message for Week 4 on what it means to recognize Jesus as our Perfect King. Drawing from the life and visions of the prophet Isaiah, we explore the historical tension between earthly leadership and divine promises. Whether you are navigating a season of "deep darkness" or simply waiting for a breakthrough, this message serves as a reminder that the Messiah—our Emmanuel—is faithful to His word. Learn why God's timing, though it may feel slow, is always intentional and why Jesus is a King truly worth the wait.Key Takeaways- The Contrast of Kings: Understand how the failures of earthly rulers like King Ahaz highlight our universal need for a King with "David's heart".- Finding Light in Darkness: Discover how the promise of "Emmanuel" (God with us) provides hope even when circumstances feel chaotic or disappointing.- The Purpose of Waiting: Learn to reframe seasons of waiting not as God being slow, but as a time where He is doing a work greater than we can imagine.- A Kingdom of Justice: Explore the vision of a King who defends the needy, crushes oppression, and brings lasting peace to the nations.

A year is a long time in the podcasting world, especially for podcasts keeping a close eye on the highs, lows, trials and tribulations of government. Because it has been quite some year for Keir Starmer and his team - and for British politics more generally.  We've had reshuffles, resignations and resets. The rise of Reform. The breakthrough of the Greens. Promised policy blitzes. A planned rewiring of the state. The start - apparently - of the government's delivery phase. A government-defining budget. Some government-disrupting leadership challenges - real or imagined. And every now and then someone called Donald Trump crashes into the picture.  The IfG team and the Financial Times's Public Policy Editor look back on an eventful 12 months and pick out the big moments of 2025 - the most significant stories, the big political developments, and the key appointments that could shape the year ahead.  Not all of these will have made huge headlines. Perhaps they should have done - let's see.    Presented by Alex Thomas Featuring Chris Smyth, Jill Rutter, Stuart Hoddinott and Catherine Haddon Learn more about your ad choices.

Waiting for answers. Waiting for healing. Waiting for hope. In Luke 2, two ordinary yet faithful saints encounter the extraordinary faithfulness of God. This Sunday, we'll see how Simeon and Anna point us to Christ, the true Consolation and Redeemer, and teach us how to wait with peace, gratitude, and confidence.Outline:I. Look to Christ, Your Consoleri. Wait Expectantly Ii. Be satisfied in God's wordII. Look to Christ, Your Redeemer Sermon Questions1.     Simeon's song shows deep familiarity with God's Word, especially Isaiah.How does knowing and trusting God's promises shape the way we wait?2.     Anna and Simeon wait for Christ as their consolation and redeemer. Where in your life have you seen Christ be your consolation or redeemer?3.     How is Biblical waiting different than worldly waiting? Why is passive waiting so detrimental to the Christian walk?4.     How often do you think about the second coming of Christ? What are things to do and not do to be ready for him to come again? Read Luke 12:35-40 and Titus 2:11-14 for help5.     If someone watched the way you wait (your words, actions, prayers), what would they learn about who Christ is in you?

The Promise of PresenceToday's Passage: Genesis 28:15-17Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

This weekend our Christmas series will continue to track God's promise of salvation from Genesis 3:15 into 2 Samuel 7. There we'll see the Lord focus His promise with another promise to a ruler named David. What the Lord wants His people to understand is that the best way to honor His promise is to simply receive it as a gift.

Message from Josh Larsen on December 21, 2025

By David Hall

The witness of the shepherds shows us that no one is too bad for a Savior, and the witness of Simeon shows us that no one is too good to need a Savior. In Luke chapter 2, Simeon helps us see the meaning of Jesus' arrival more clearly. Today, let's explore three truths Simeon reveals about the coming of Jesus Christ—and consider how our own response to Jesus should shape the way we listen, trust, and live in light of God's salvation.Welcome to Antioch Georgetown! We are a church in Georgetown, TX, and our mission is simple--We lead people to follow Christ in a life-changing way.Get Connected:

Christmas 2025 - A Son Was Promised by Pastor Will Cass

December 21, 2025 Paul proclaimed the Gospel which is God’s Gospel, that was prophesied throughout the Old Testament regarding the person and work of Jesus Christ. Scripture: Romans 1:1-7

Before the cross, Jesus gathered His closest friends in an upstairs room. What He shared there would change everything; words of love, unity, and the promise of His Spirit. In this series we step into that room to experience the heart of Jesus and what it means to walk closely with Him today.

Before the beginning of time, God promised eternal life — and not only that, but he planned everything it would take to bring about his purposes.

The Promise of RestorationToday's Passage: Mark 8:22-26And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

We start with an analyis of the latest health care melodrama in D.C., where four House Republicans unexpectedly broke ranks, joining Democrats in forcing a vote on the renwal of ACA subsidies. Speaker Johnson will not hold the required vote until January. But even if it passes in the House, it will face an almost certain filibuster in the Senate. Meanwhile millions of Americans will lose healthcare coverage, and those who decide to pay skyrocketing premiums will be forced to cut back on other basics. We welcome State Representative Angelina Cruz to discuss the budget bait and switch on special education funding. The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) announced l that the state will fail to meet the 42% special education reimbursement promised in the recent state budget., and by elected leaders of both parties when they celebrated the budget "compromise." Rep. Cruz tells us about new legislation to ensure all schools get special education funding they were promised Following Rep. Cruz, we discuss a new three bill package that transforms how Wisconsin funds K-12 schools and other public goods in Wisconsin. If enacted, Wisconsin would become the first state to fund K-12 schools primarily through a progressive income tax, leading to a 44% reduction in the median Wisconsin property tax bill. Another bill restores Wisconsin's estate tax for estates valued higher than $14M and creates a new local option income tax on people who make $1M a year or more. These tools provide new, fairer options to raise revenue at the state and local levels, and begin the long process of unwinding record levels of income and wealth inequality. We also talk about this week's highly publicized trial of Judge Hannah Dugan Trial in Milwaukee, data center opponents launch a recall effort against Port Washington Mayor, and the "Monsters of the Midway" threaten to move to Indiana, the latest move in their failing (but on-going) campaign to shake down Illinois for unneeded public subsidies at the expense of schools, health care, and other public priorities. So far Illinois elected leaders are holding firm, in stark contrast to Wisconsin's bipartisan cave in to the Brewers billionaire owner last year.

Classic Christmas songs point us back to the Old Testament's expectations of Jesus: "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel," "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing," "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming," or "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus." Let's not ignore the foundation of God's promises that Jesus came to stand on! With Matthew's Gospel, the Bible introduces Jesus as the long-awaited, much-anticipated Fulfiller of God's promises. We're excited for you to join us this Sunday as we look to Jesus together in Matthew 1:1-17.

December 17, 2025: Gartner's 2026 HR trends reveal how AI adoption is outpacing people systems and managerial readiness; Ford scales back parts of its electric vehicle strategy as regulatory pressure, legacy infrastructure, and workforce realities collide; white-collar job markets tighten while demand grows for skilled, non-automatable work; rising job anxiety spreads across professional roles as career certainty erodes; companies accelerate skills-based hiring as college degrees lose signaling power; and the UK passes a major Employment Rights Bill aimed at reducing job precarity by expanding worker protections and limiting unstable work arrangements.

In this third episode of Promised & Fulfilled: Christmas through the Eyes of Prophecy, hosts Greg and Nathan turn their attention to a small town with an enormous promise. “From Ancient Days: The Ruler from Bethlehem” explores Micah 5:2 and its stunning claim that Israel's long-awaited ruler would come from humble Bethlehem—yet have origins stretching back to eternity. Set against the looming threat of Assyrian invasion, Micah's prophecy reignited hope by pointing to a future king in the line of David. Greg and Nathan unpack why Bethlehem mattered so deeply in Israel's story, how first-century Jews understood this promise, and why Matthew highlights the prophecy when recounting the Magi's visit and Herod's fear. This episode connects the geography of Jesus' birth with the theology of His identity, showing how the One born in David's city is also the eternal ruler “from ancient days.” Along the way, the conversation explores Jesus' lineage, messianic expectations, and what Micah 5 reveals about Christ's divine nature. Join Greg and Nathan as they trace the promise from prophecy to fulfillment—and discover how the Christmas story declares that the eternal King entered history in the most unexpected place.
