What happens when a culture no longer fears God or recognizes the destructive power of evil? In Episode 10 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that one of the clearest biblical definitions of the fear of the Lord is “to depart from evil.” True godly fear is not hatred toward people, but a holy reverence for God that causes us to hate what destroys lives and turn away from sin.Drawing from Proverbs, Psalms, Job, Ephesians, and other Scriptures, Duane reveals how the fear of the Lord produces wisdom, understanding, righteous discernment, and a growing awareness of sin's destructive consequences. Pride, compromise, and the celebration of evil are evidence of a culture losing its fear of God, while those who fear the Lord are drawn away from evil and toward God Himself.We may not be able to simply walk away from evil in our own strength, but we can depart from evil by walking toward God. As we draw near to Him, His light pulls us out of darkness and transforms our hearts. This message also addresses righteous anger, spiritual compromise, and how sin hardens the heart and gives the enemy a foothold.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

What does it really mean to fear God in a culture that demands tolerance for virtually everything? Are Christians ever called to hate—and if so, what? In Episode 9 of The Fear of the Lord, Duane Sheriff explains that Scripture clearly teaches there are things God hates, and that a proper fear of the Lord requires us to hate what He hates and love what He loves.Drawing from Proverbs, Psalms, and Romans, Duane teaches that the fear of the Lord is “to hate evil”—not people. He explains how modern culture's mantra of tolerance creates a deceptive progression from compromise to acceptance, then celebration, and ultimately the legislation of evil. The life and ministry of Jesus reveal that Christ was full of love and mercy toward sinners, yet never tolerated or excused sin. Jesus forgave, healed, and restored, while also commanding, “Go and sin no more.”This message brings clarity to the confusion between biblical love and cultural “love.” True love does not celebrate iniquity. Today's “love is love” is a counterfeit of the truth that “God is love.” Deepen your understanding of the fear of the Lord as a reverent hatred of evil that protects, purifies, and aligns our hearts with God's in an age of moral confusion.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-fear-of-the-lord

God Reminds Those Who Want a Deeper Relationship with Him of His Expectations for Their Management of His Resources He Provided Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: As followers of Jesus, we want to go deeper in our personal relationship with God. However, God tells some of us that we must start being more responsible for the material things that He has provided before we can go deeper into spiritual revelations. Also, many of us, while seeking to know the Lord better, want to know His will in our lives and for the World. At the same time, we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Mathew 6:19-21, Jesus is telling us that all that we have, which we tend to call our own, really comes from God. God has expectations for our good management of His resources in our personal relationship with Him: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.". God tells us that we are to be good managers of His gifts; however, in Luke 12:19-21, Jesus completes a parable about a man who thought that all his assets were his and not from God: “'And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”. Pointedly, God is telling us that if we cannot be responsible for the earthly treasures, which He has provided us, then how can we be responsible for His Spiritual treasures that He wants to provide us as we seek to deepen our personal relationship with Him?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Today's meditation is based on selected verses from Proverbs, the Psalms and Matthew. Honesty is a virtue that we value as individuals and in society. Without it, we have no moral compass with which to navigate agreements, and social values. It is the bedrock of relationships and is critical to mental and emotional well-being of us all. God warns of dishonestly in business, instructing us to treat others fairly, to protect those who might be subject to others' deceit because to do so, is a type of justice. It is the thread of gold woven into our communities that keeps us in peace with one another.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Daily Dose of Hope June 2, 2026   Scripture: 1 Kings 2   Prayer:  Holy God, Thank you for this day and thank you for the ways you provide and care for us.  We rejoice in your powerful and mighty name.  As we read through the Scripture today and reflect on what it means for us, help us hear a new word from you.  Help us set aside the distractions of the day and really listen for your voice.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Daily Bible reading plan.  For the summer, we are digging into 1 and 2 Kings.  These Old Testament texts offer us so much of God's truth and I look forward to what we will learn.  Today, we read 1 Kings 2.   This chapter begins with David about to die.  He wants to provide some advice to his son, Solomon, the new king of Israel. It's troubling advice, as he provides spiritual wisdom quickly followed by political strategizing that will lead to bloodshed. The first part of his advice is Godly and sounds like the wisdom of a man after God's own heart: Follow God's laws and walk in obedience to him and then you will prosper. But the second half of David's advice is about securing the kingdom. All sense of faithfulness is now gone out the window: Avenge your father, kill those people who have done us wrong, and ensure your place on the throne. Hmmm...On the one hand, David tells Solomon to follow God and keep Torah. On the other, he tells Solomon to avenge, kill, and break Torah.   I we were to read 1 & 2 Samuel, we could do a pretty good assessment of David's life. Overall, he was a faithful man who rarely wavered from following the Lord. He definitely had some rough patches though, in which he fell away and sinned horrifically against God and other people. And those times definitely mar how we view him.  At the same time, he was always repentant and turned back toward God. Over this last little portion of his life, however, it seems that David consulted God less and in many ways grew angry and bitter.  He had made a mess of his family life, allowed horrible things to happen in his household, and generally tried to dismiss it.  I'm wondering about his regrets.   What can we learn from King David's life? He is referred to as a man after God's own heart. He wrote many of the Psalms which we read over and over again and use in worship and song. He loved God and his allegiance was undeniable. On the other hand, he was a human king and there were many times in which lust, fear, and arrogance ruled the day.   After David dies, Samuel doesn't waste a lot of time.  He takes his father's advice and runs with it.  This means eliminating political rivals, including his half-brother Adonijah.  You might have noticed that Adonijah asked to marry his father's former attendant, the virgin Abishag.  Solomon sees this request as a covert political ploy to take the throne, as marrying a former king's attendant was seen as a claim to the royal lineage.  He also kills Joab (the general) and Shimei (who was a long-time problem for King David).  There is absolutely no grace.  I can't help but wonder what this means for Soloman's reign as king.  Is this a sign of what's to come?    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Obedience is one of those words that can sound simple until Scripture turns it into a mirror. We start with 1 Samuel 15, where Samuel draws a sharp line between sacrifice and submission, then we sit with what that means for real life: the habits we excuse, the sins we rank, and the ways we try to “make it up” to God instead of doing what He says.From there, we slow down into prayer, asking for gratitude and a heart that stops fixating on what we lack. We also read Proverbs 31 and talk about Christian character inside marriage and family life, not as a performance, but as steady faithfulness that blesses the people closest to us. If you want practical Christian encouragement, this section is a reminder that spiritual maturity usually looks ordinary: diligence, trust, and reverence for the Lord.The center of the episode is John 8, where Jesus responds to a public accusation with a sentence that still shocks the conscience: “Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone.” We talk about how Jesus holds mercy and truth together, why “go and sin no more” matters, and why prayer is never truly solitary when the Holy Spirit is with us. We also read from Psalms and Proverbs, then reflect on culture, public tragedy, and the importance of remembering our spiritual foundations, including the hymn “God of Our Fathers.”If this helped you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review wherever you listen.#GodOfOurFathers#ChristianNation#AmericanPatriotSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

After killing his brother at a family dinner, Absalom fled to another country, and was only brought back after Joab convinced David to do so by way of a theatric analogy. Today, Absalom begins a plan to win the hearts of the people and turn Israel against his father, the king. Learning of this impending insurrection, David flees Jerusalem with all of his people, save a handle of men who serve as spies. Nathan prophesied that the Lord would bring disaster on David from his own family, and that another man would sleep with his wives before Israel in broad daylight. David's own son, Absalom, is that man. 2 Samuel 15 - 1:12 .  2 Samuel 16 - 9:44 .  2 Samuel 17 - 15:01 .  Psalm 81 - 21:26 .  Psalm 82 - 23:30 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

There's an intense feeling of spiritual anguish when the believer feels abandoned by God. Psalm 88 reflects that anguish in what has been called the darkest and gloomiest of Psalms and a psalm filled with one wail of sorrow from beginning to end. But even this darkest of Psalms has a purpose. It reminds us that, despite our faith, our lives are sometimes filled with trouble and—often—there seems to be no end in sight.

What can you do when you're afraid, anxious, exhausted, or wrongly accused, and you don't know how to pray?Psalms 3–8 are David's raw, unfiltered conversations with God. They read less like religious poetry and more like texts you'd send to a trusted friend. In this episode, we walk you through six Psalms that cover the full emotional spectrum from fear and betrayal to wonder and praise. We also show you how to easily use these Psalms as helpful prayers in your own life.What you'll learn:[7:57] Fear & betrayal: How David's shield of faith (Psalm 3) gives you a practical way to fight panic when life feels like it's falling apart[11:20] Anxiety & sleep: Why Psalms 3 and 4 were used together as a daily circle of protection and how they can quiet your anxious mind at night[17:43] Exhaustion & suffering: How Psalm 5 and 6 give you God's permission to cry out when you're alone and exhausted from a prolonged trial[22:13] Injustice & accusation: What to pray when you've been wrongly accused and need God to vindicate you (Psalm 7)[25:20] Awe & wonder: How Psalm 8, and Jesus quoting it in Matthew 21, reveals just how significant you are to GodPsalms 3-8 Show Notes:ACTS Prayer GuidePsalm 8 (Hallé) by Phil WickhamPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPsalms Roadmap - Coming Soon!Group Discussion Questions for Psalms 3–8:David used very raw, unfiltered language in his laments: exhaustion, anguish, weeping all night, begging God to vindicate him. Does that kind of honesty in prayer come naturally to you, or do you tend to soften what you bring to God? What would it take for you to pray more like David?The Hebrew priests used Psalms 3 and 4 together daily as a circle of protection to manage their anxieties. Is there a certain Psalm or prayer you find yourself returning to in difficult seasons?Paul describes our current life as living in the "gap" between the perfection we were created for and the new heaven and new earth still to come.

NEW #BIYE w @OliveTreeBible DAY 152 - 2 Samuel 18:1-19:10 John 20:1-31 Psalms 119:153-176 Proverbs 16:14-15

Psalms 119:153-176

Today is day 152 and we are studying The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. 152. What is the anointing of the sick? Through prayer and anointing with oil, the minister invokes God's blessing upon those suffering in body, mind, or spirit. (1 Kings 17:17–24; Psalm 107:17–22; Matthew 8:14–17; 10:5–8; Acts 28:8; James 5:15–16) We will conclude today with The Concluding Prayer for Anointing of the Sick on page 226 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Join us as we walk through the Psalms, exploring how this rich book of Scripture meets us in every valley and hilltop as we experience God's gospel springs for our desert hearts.   Sermon Recorded May 31st, 2026 Caleb Click Lead Pastor Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church

Melchizedek appears just three times in the entire Bible. Twice in the Hebrew Bible. Once in the New Testament. And yet entire priesthoods, theological systems, and centuries of Christian doctrine have been built on top of this one figure. So who was he really? And what if the text was changed to hide his true identity?Dr. Robert Cargill, Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Iowa, former editor of Biblical Archaeology Review, and one of the most recognized biblical archaeologists in the world, sits down to walk us through the evidence. His Oxford University Press book argues that Melchizedek was originally the king of Sodom, and that ancient scribes deliberately altered Genesis 14 to distance Abraham from a city God would later destroy. That single scribal edit sent ripple effects through the Psalms, into the book of Hebrews, and straight into the foundation of Christ's priesthood. This conversation takes you inside the Hebrew text, into the caves of Qumran, through the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Pseudepigrapha, and into the hard question of what archaeology can and cannot prove about the Bible.In this episode you will learn:- Why Melchizedek is one of the most leveraged figures in biblical history and how different groups used him for their own purposes- The textual and grammatical evidence that Melchizedek was originally the king of Sodom, not the king of Shalem- Why scribes changed a single word in Genesis 14:18 and how that edit reshaped centuries of theology- How the tithe in Genesis 14 may have gone the opposite direction from what English translations suggest- What the Dead Sea Scrolls actually are and why they changed how scholars read the Bible- What the Pseudepigrapha (1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Genesis Apocryphon) reveal about what Second Temple Jews actually believed- How the book of Enoch rewrites the flood story to solve an ethical problem in Genesis 6- The most common types of bogus archaeological claims and how to spot them- Real archaeological discoveries that illuminate the biblical text, from the seal of Hezekiah to the Tel Dan inscription- Why Dr. Cargill believes archaeology should never be used as a tool for evangelism- The story of the Greek Orthodox archaeologist whose answer about faith and science changed everythingDr. Robert Cargill's Books:Melchizedek, King of Sodom: How Scribes Invented the Biblical Priest-King (Oxford University Press) - https://a.co/d/0e3LmMWEThe Cities That Built the Bible (HarperOne) - https://a.co/d/04VqTMt6Dr. Cargill's Website: bobcargill.comDr. Cargill's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC6TIKnUUWEhh1nspJ62komg Stay Connected:Website: Johnnyova.comSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaGet my book!

So we are just starting a teaching series at Calvary called, "A Life Refreshed." It's a look at the Psalms with the theme of...you got it, a life refreshed. If you are feeling drained, damaged, or a little bit of hope-less, you may find this one encouraging. The next episode we will be back to Nehemiah! 

Do you know God loves you… but somehow you don’t always feel it? You know you’re valuable to God. Yet when it’s time to set boundaries, pursue what brings you joy, take care of yourself, or believe your needs matter, you hesitate. Why?

Through personal story, the power of labels, and scripture, you’ll discover how self-doubt often grows from identities we’ve accepted that were never meant to define us. You’ll learn how God reshapes your identity, why self-affirmation research matters, and a simple soul care practice to live with more confidence. If you’ve ever struggled to feel confident, worthy, beautiful, or enough, this episode will help you. Key Takeaways - Why knowing God loves you isn’t always the same as feeling loved - How labels shape self-doubt and confidence - Why God renames people throughout Scripture - What science says about self-affirmation and emotional resilience - How embracing God’s delight can transform your wellness - A practical exercise to help you break free of self-doubt & experience your God-given identity Breath Prayer Inhale: You will be called My Delight Exhale: The Lord delights in you Scripture “You will no longer be called Forsaken…but you will be called My Delight…for the Lord delights in you.” Isaiah 62:4 “To him who overcomes…I will give him a white stone and a new name written on the stone.” Rev 2:17 →
