In today's episode, Elisha acts through messengers and servants to accomplish kingdom-altering acts. First, the king of Aram sends his servant Hazael to ask Elisha if the king will recover from his sickness. While speaking with him about the matter, Elisha sees Hazael's future, which one of terrible power and destruction. Later, Elisha sends a young prophet to anoint Jehu, an army commander, to be king over Israel. With a number of cunning strategies, Jehu overthrows the house of Ahab, kills Jezebel, the prophets of a Baal, and avenges the blood of Naboth the Gileadite on behalf of the Lord, who predicted Ahab's fall through Elijah. 2 Kings 8 - 1:11 . 2 Kings 9 - 8:32 . 2 Kings 10 - 18:28 .

Sermon for June 14, 2026
When someone tells us, “You're a good person!”, do we believe them? Why not?If we don't believe that we're a good person, then why did Jesus die to save us?
James' main theme is that Psalm 100 calls God's people to praise Him with their whole being. Psalm 100 is a "doubly perfect" psalm because it contains two sets of seven: seven encouragements to praise God and seven reasons to praise Him. The sermon first walks through the calls to worship: shout joyfully, serve gladly, sing, give thanks, praise, be thankful, and bless the Lord's name. Praise is presented as something expressive, joyful, grateful, and active—not just singing, but the whole life of worship and service. The second half gives the reasons for praise: Yahweh alone is God, He made us personally, we belong to Him, we are the sheep of His pasture, He is good, His mercy/loving-kindness lasts forever, and His truth endures to all generations. The sermon ends by encouraging the congregation to respond to Psalm 100 in worship. 00:00 Introduction to the Psalms series and theme of praise02:39 Psalm 100 as a "doubly perfect" psalm04:14 Seven encouragements to praise God05:14 Make a joyful shout to the Lord07:19 Serve the Lord with gladness08:37 Come before Him with singing09:34 Enter His gates with thanksgiving11:24 Enter His courts with praise and be thankful13:57 Bless the Lord's name15:57 Seven reasons to praise God18:15 Yahweh alone is God and our Creator21:22 We are His people and the sheep of His pasture26:22 God is good, merciful, faithful, and true
Throughout the Old Testament, we meet men of varying backgrounds who set out to obey the Lord and deliver God's people. Time and again, God's people rejoice and revel in their hero, but inevitably, these men fall and are shown to be sinful. David is no exception. Luxury and boredom turn into lust, which turns into an abuse of power, then adultery, then deception, then second-hand murder. Though he tries to hide his sin by sinning further, the Lord will not allow the sin of Israel's king to go unpunished. Because of his sin, the Lord says that he will take David's wives and give them to another before all of Israel. While 2 Samuel records this failure, 1 Chronicles does not. 2 Samuel 11 - 1:04 . 2 Samuel 12 - 8:06 . 1 Chronicles 20 - 15:19 .

Psalm 100 - WORSHIPThe Psalms are like a songbook and prayerbook for real life.Instead of pretending everything is fine, they help us bring our honest emotions to God. And at the same time, they gently reshape how we see things, reminding us of who God really is—faithful, in control, full of mercy, and always worthy of our trust and praise.Ed Marsh continues our series with a look at what Psalm 100 teaches us about worship.

How to Fight Cynicism (Psalm 100) by Josiah Graves
Sermon series: Faith and WorkWorship is the way that God takes our theology of work and makes it part of who we are and how we live. To bring work and worship together, when we gather, we bring trumpets (thanksgiving), ashes (confession), tears (lament) petitions and fruits (offering) to God.Preacher: Tan Huai TzeDate: 31 May 2026

We know we're supposed to worship, but sometimes we struggle. Well, today we work through Psalm 100 (and even some earlier psalms) to see how we can join in the worship of our wonderful Lord! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Look at your Bible just below where it says, "Psalm 100". What do the non-italic words say? What does this tell us about the practical role this psalm might have in our walk with the Lord? 2. What did the podcast say about the context of this psalm, specifically Psalms 93 to 100? 3. Why is worship a critical spiritual discipline in the Christian life? What kinds of things ought we worship God for? How "good" are you at worship? 4. Where do we see people worshipping the Lord in the Bible? What are some of the reasons they worship Him? What example of worship are you setting for those around you? 5. In John 4:23, what did Jesus say the Father seeks? Are you fulfilling what He is seeking? Why or why not? 6. In verse 1, what are some things that we can joyfully and triumphantly celebrate about the Lord? 7. In verse 2, what is the connection between worship of the Lord and service to Him? How are we to serve the Lord, specifically, in verse 2? 8. In verse 3, why is knowledge and truth about God so vital to true worship? What are some truths about the Lord given in verse 3? 9. The podcast mentioned Ps 95:6. According to that verse, what is the posture of the worshipper? What value might these postures have in our worship? Do you ever worship the Lord this way? Why or why not? 10. Back in Psalm 100:3, the psalmist compares us to sheep. What similarities are there between us and sheep? Why is it helpful to recognize these similarities? 11. In verse 4, what public places should we be thanking and praising the Lord? Have you ever publicly thanked God? If so, what for? If not, why not? 12. The final verse of Psalm 100 reminds us of God's goodness and lovingkindness. Why can all people thank God for these blessings? 13. The podcast mentioned that true worship involves submission to the Lord. Why is submission necessary for true worship? In what ways is your submission to the Lord manifested in worship? 14. The podcast also mentioned that true worship involves knowing God rightly. Why is a correct understanding of the Lord vital to true worship? Can we worship Him rightly if we're wrong in what we're praising Him for? 15. As you reflect on this psalm, how about taking some time to privately worship and thank the Lord? Likewise, how about asking the Lord to give you an opportunity today to give Him public worship and thanks? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Psalm 100 is a song for giving joyful praise. And behold, in honor of the 2026 FIFA World Cup now being less than 100 days away from kicking off, Soccer Psalm 100 features on the podcast this week. Soon, there will be much celebration and jubilation (and some sadness when one’s team loses) around the world’s biggest stage and tournament. I wrote Soccer Psalm 100 from the perspective of the fans — those who sit and await the match to begin. They start the party well ahead of the game. There is food and fellowship and footy happening. In the USA, we call it tailgating. In the UK, people gather at the local pub for “chippies” before a joyful march to the stadium ground. In other parts of the world, there are other, similar pre-match rituals and routines — usually expressive of joy and eager anticipation to get behind one’s team. In many ways, we await the triumphant procession and return of Jesus and the Cup Final to end all Cup Finals. Enjoy this soccer psalm for this week’s podcast. The Soccer Psalms, is a self-published book available on Amazon. (You can also find The Football Psalms-a British version-if you appreciate the different terms around the game). Both books are available globally on Amazon and contain 31 psalms that have been translated into “soccer psalms” — with words, language, and metaphors that connect soccer to God’s Word. I also include some reflection on the context and writing as well as some questions for reflection.

Jesus did not call people to admire Him. He called them to follow Him.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany walk through three clear marks of true discipleship. Many believers know the right words, attend church consistently, and affirm sound doctrine. Yet the deeper question remains: Are we truly living as followers of Christ?This conversation examines what Jesus meant when He said, “Follow Me,” and challenges listeners to consider whether their lives reflect obedience, transformation, and love.What We Discussed02:30 Following Jesus Is More Than Intellectual AgreementJesus' call to follow Him is not merely agreement with doctrine. It's a call to obedience, surrender, and life change. Discipleship involves transformation, not just information.03:15 #1 Abiding in God's WordAbiding means staying rooted in Scripture so that it shapes decisions, priorities, convictions, and worldview. Discipleship begins with ongoing dependence on God's truth.07:05 Bearing Spiritual Fruit as Evidence of a Living FaithAuthentic faith produces visible evidence, not spiritual performance or curated appearances.09:30 Fruit Grows Through Faithfulness, Not Speed Discipleship is described as a slow, steady process. Jesus does not demand instant fruit. He calls for faithfulness over time. Growth may be gradual, but it is real.11:10 Loving as Jesus LovesThe defining mark of Jesus' disciples is a love that goes beyond preference or affection.12:40 Love Our Enemies Rooted in Matthew 5:44, this call challenges believers to reflect Christ's character in difficult relationships.14:20 Love Is Action, Not Feeling Biblical love is not primarily emotional. It is active and intentional. It expresses itself through obedience, sacrifice, and Spirit-empowered service.16:00 Why Love Is the Visible Badge of Discipleship While doctrine matters deeply, love is the evidence the world recognizes most clearly. Christlike love becomes the visible marker of a true disciple.18:45 Direction, Not Perfection The episode closes with a reminder that discipleship is about direction, not flawlessness. Jesus meets His followers where they are and calls them forward in faithfulness.“Discipleship isn't about hustle. It's about faithfulness.” – Pastor Jeff Cranston
This well known Psalm is often used in calls to worship and sung by children. It's a Psalm of thanksgiving as even the title says, and it reminds of "Who made whom."

Welcome to Day 2752 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2752 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 100:1-5 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2752 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred fifty-two 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 Rhythm of Gratitude – Entering the Gates with Praise. Today, we arrive at a beloved landmark on our journey through the Psalter. We are exploring Psalm One Hundred, covering the entire hymn, verses one through five, in the New Living Translation. This short, vibrant psalm serves as the grand finale to the collection of Royal Psalms we have been trekking through (Psalms Ninety-three through Ninety-nine). In our previous trek through Psalm Ninety-nine, we were on our knees. We saw the Holy King enthroned between the Cherubim, and the command was to "tremble" and to "bow low." It was a psalm of heavy, transcendent holiness. Psalm One Hundred resolves that trembling into uncontainable joy. It tells us that the Holy King is also the Good Shepherd. It is the invitation to stand up, dust off our knees, and march through the temple gates with a song of thanksgiving. It is the only psalm in the Bible with the specific superscription "A Psalm of Thanksgiving" (Mizmor l'todah). It was likely sung as the procession entered the temple courts to offer the thanksgiving sacrifice. It teaches us that while God is the High King of the Divine Council, He is also our God, and His courts are open to us. So, let us join the procession and enter His gates with thanksgiving. The First Segment is: The Universal Call to Worship. Psalm One Hundred: verses one through two. Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. The psalm opens with a burst of energy, issuing three imperative commands to the entire world: "Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!" The command to "shout" (rûa‘) connects us back to the earlier Royal Psalms. This is the shout of homage to a King; it is the fanfare of coronation. But notice the audience: "all the earth." This is a missionary call. Just as we saw in Psalm Ninety-six, the invitation to worship Yahweh is not restricted to the ethnic borders of Israel. It is a summons to the nations—who were formerly under the dominion of the rebel gods of the Divine Council—to switch their allegiance. We are calling the whole earth to defect from the darkness and shout allegiance to the True King. The second command defines the attitude of our service: "Worship the Lord with gladness." The word "Worship" (‘ābad) literally means to serve. It implies slavery or bond-service. In the ancient world, serving a god or a king was often a terrified, burdensome duty. You served to avoid being crushed. But Yahweh demands a different kind of service. We are to serve Him...
Today’s Bible Verse:“For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” — Psalm 100:5 Psalm 100:5 anchors us in a truth we often need most on the hard days: God’s goodness isn’t seasonal, and His love doesn’t run out. His faithfulness stretches across generations—steady, unchanging, and deeply personal. When life feels unpredictable, this verse reminds us we’re held by a God who has never failed His people and won’t start now. His goodness isn’t just something He does; it’s who He is. “Want to listen without ads?
