SummaryThis conversation explores the life and tragic end of King Solomon, emphasizing the importance of wisdom, accountability, and guarding one's heart. It delves into how Solomon, despite his great wisdom, allowed pride and compromise to lead him away from God, ultimately resulting in a life that did not fulfill its potential. The discussion serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring wisdom and the need for daily reflection and repentance in our own lives.TakeawaysKing Solomon's life ended tragically despite his wisdom.He ignored the warnings and wisdom given to him.The heart must be guarded diligently.Compromise can lead to a slow drift away from God.Accountability is crucial for spiritual health.Pride can subtly lead to downfall.Daily reflection is necessary to guard our hearts.The fear of God is essential for a faithful life.Success can lead to complacency and danger.Repentance is key to returning to God.Chapters00:00 The Tragic End of King Solomon07:25 The Slow Drift Away from God14:13 Ignoring Wisdom: A Cautionary Tale20:19 Guarding the Heart: A Daily Responsibility28:32 The Consequences of Compromise35:28 The Danger of Success and Pride42:20 The Call to Repentance and ObedienceBooks, Blogs, Clothing https://benjaminlee.blogBe sure to tune in Monday-Friday!

Last week we ended our study time looking at a great king of Judah, Hezekiah. Today we start with one of the worst kings of Judah, Manasseh, Hezekiah's son. Manasseh reigned from 697-642 B.C. His story is found in 2 Kings 21:1-18 and 2 Chronicles 33:1-20. Manasseh reigned 55 years. He reigned longer than any other king and did more damage than any other king.  He did evil in God's eyes. It is a disgusting and tragic story.  He destroys everything good his father had done. King Manasseh     ⁃    Apostasy and Idolatry - 2 Chronicles 33:33     ⁃    Sacrificed his children  - 2 Chronicles 33:6     ⁃    Innocent blood shed including the blood of prophets -  2 Kings 21:16. (Hebrews 11:37 - ancient Jewish tradition that says it was during Manasseh's reign that Isaiah was sawn in half by Manasseh)     ⁃    Captivity in Babylon - Manasseh was taken prisoner by Assyria and taken to Babylon  - 2 Chronicles 33:11     ⁃    Repentance and return to Judah- while in prison Manasseh had a change of heart, humbling himself greatly before God and praying. The Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so God brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom, proving to Manasseh that He is the true God - 2 Chronicles 33:12-13 What we learn: God is a gracious God and hears the cries of those who humble themselves before Him.  He responds to a repentant heart.  In the final years of his life, Manasseh worked to redo things but to no avail as his son, King Amon takes the throne. Amon reigned from 642-640 B.C. and his story is found in 2 Kings 21:19-26 and 2 Chronicles 33:21-25. Amon did evil in the eyes of the Lord. King Amon     ⁃    Return to idolatry - 2 Chronicles 33:22-23     ⁃    Conspiracy and Assassination - 2 Chronicles 33:24-25 - Josiah, Amon's son was then made king. King Josiah Josiah is just a boy when he begins his 31 year reign and in Pastor's opinion, the greatest king of Judah. Josiah reigned from 640-609 B.C. His story is found in 2 Kings 22:1-23:30 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. During his reign there were many prophets: Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk and Huldah.  God is working to bring the nation back to Himself. During King Josiah's reign, Judah experienced three of its happiest decades: peace, prosperity and revival.  King Josiah     ⁃    Young King seeks the God of David - he followed in the ways of David - 2 Kings 22:1-2 and 2 Chronicles 34:3      ⁃    Spiritual cleansing of Jerusalem - 2 Chronicles 34:4-5     ⁃    Book of the Law of God written by Moses (possibly the original Torah) is discovered  - 2 Chronicles 34:8, 2 Chronicles 34:14, 2 Chronicles 34:19, 2 Chronicles 34:22.  In 2 Chronicles 34:27 we read of Huldah who tells the king that God says that judgment is coming, but because he (Josiah) had humbled himself before God, wept and torn his robes, that Josiah will not live to see the destruction. Josiah recognizes the Lord's graciousness and he sets forth to bring revival.      ⁃    Revival happens 2 Kings 23:2-3 - God's people pledge themselves to the covenant of God.     ⁃    Revival and reform go beyond Judah - 2 Kings 23:15, 17 Josiah was a bright, brilliant, incredible and godly leader, a man bold in his faith and one who trusted God.  May we learn from his example.

In ancient road-building, when a king was coming to a city, workers would literally level the path—remove rocks, straighten curves, fill valleys, clear obstacles—so the king could arrive without hindrance. "Make straight in the desert a highway for our God," John says the same thing needs to happen in the human heart. He is saying repentance removes the rocks, straightens the curves, fills the valleys, builds the bridges, and clears the obstacles to make room in us for Jesus to come. “Repentance” is one of those words that can feel heavy. For some of us, it carries pain. For others, guilt. For others, images of street preachers with cardboard signs. But repentance—in the Bible—is one of the most freeing, healing, life-giving realities in the kingdom of God. It's not punitive. It's not shame-based. It's not God pointing a finger. Repentance is the invitation into becoming whole.

Send us a textWhat if God doesn't see you the way you see yourself? We start with Job's piercing question—“Am I like the sea?”—and follow the thread through Scripture where the sea symbolizes chaos, power, and unrest. From there, we confront a rising claim in modern teaching: that Christians no longer need to repent, confess, or ask for forgiveness. We test that idea against Romans, Colossians, and 1 John, and we talk plainly about the difference between being secure in Christ and being formed by grace in daily practice.You'll hear why we draw a clear line between positional standing and practical discipleship. Positionally, believers are reconciled and forgiven; practically, we still grieve, stumble, and need restoration. Confession is not a denial of the cross—it's a response to it. Repentance is not self-salvation—it's humility that aligns our lives with the truth. We unpack “mortify the deeds of the body,” not as spiritual heroics but as Spirit-led honesty that names sin, turns from it, and bears fruit that keeps us blameless in reputation without claiming sinlessness in reality.We also sit with Job's sleepless nights—terrors, dreams, and the ache for rest—and connect that experience to the way suffering strips away noise. Where do we find peace when every corner of life feels storm-tossed? The answer isn't a slogan. It's a return to ordinary, durable practices: prayer that tells the truth, confession that heals fellowship, counsel that welcomes correction, and a community that prefers Scripture to celebrity. If you've been burned by quick fixes or shamed into silence, this conversation offers a steadier path forward—grace with spine, hope with honesty, and a God who holds you even when you can't feel the hand.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves the book of Job, and leave a review to help more listeners find thoughtful, Scripture-shaped conversations.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

This week, we will be studying Genesis 50:12-21 under the theme “How to Forgive Significant Hurt.” When Joseph's brothers fear payback, they discover that God's grace is far bigger than their guilt. Joseph refused to play God — and instead explained the strange, stunning way God turns harm into healing. Genuine forgiveness frees both the offended and the offender.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose. We'll explore truths that continue to shape our lives today, from the Garden of Eden to the promise of redemption.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

This episode explores the theme of "being the head and not the tail," drawing from Deuteronomy 28 to encourage listeners to shift from a mindset of bondage and subservience to one of leadership and obedience to God. Samuel emphasizes that blessings follow faithful submission and obedience, contrasting the generational effects of living in freedom versus captivity. Practical examples illustrate how spiritual and financial freedom can be cultivated over time, impacting future generations. The episode closes with a call to embrace obedience, patience, and a lifestyle distinct from worldly patterns, trusting that God equips and blesses those who follow His ways.

Dive into 2Corinthians 7:1-13 as we explore how repentance is not a source of shame, but a path to profound comfort and lasting joy. Discover the transformative power of godly sorrow and the blessing of a changed heart. The post 2Corinthians 7v1-13 The Comfort and Joy of Repentance appeared first on Calvary Chapel Crossover.

12/14/2025 Repentance isn't, “Clean yourself up so God will come,” it's, “Turn, because God is coming to you.” This is where Advent hope lives.

From Restless to Rooted: Joshua Williams on Calling, Repentance, and a Faith That Endures.What happens when the map you drew for your life no longer fits the road God is actually giving you? In this continuation of our conversation with Joshua Williams, we trace a candid journey through disappointment, redirection, and the quiet practices that turn belief into a way of life. This isn't highlight-reel faith; it's the daily, hidden work of following Jesus when the feelings fade and the next step isn't obvious.In this episode you'll hear about:Calling vs. career: how God reshapes ambition into service and steadies the heart when doors close.Repentance as renewal: not shame, but the rhythm that keeps love honest and hope alive.Prayer that holds in storms: learning to pray Scripture when words run out.Community and accountability: why “just me and Jesus” isn't enough when you're tired, tempted, or unsure.Sacrament and Scripture together: how worship and the Word form a faith that lasts beyond trends.Suffering without cynicism: carrying grief to Christ and finding courage to begin again.Why listen: If you're in a season of waiting, change, or quiet rebuilding, Joshua's story offers both clarity and comfort—practical ways to keep moving with Jesus when you're short on answers but rich in questions.If this conversation encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs steadying grace, and leave a quick review with the one practice—prayer, repentance, or community—you're committing to this week.**********What if the road to Jesus runs through a guru? We sit down with Joshua to trace his unlikely path from a Romanian “enlightenment” school to Orthodox Christianity, and we ask the questions seekers rarely say aloud: Do mystical experiences prove truth, or do they force us to ask which spirit we're listening to?Joshua describes leaving the U.S. to “throw himself into the arms of the universe,” clinging to ideas like reincarnation and religious unity while resisting the moral claims of Christ. Inside a syncretic school that blended Hindu and Buddhist concepts, he encountered a compelling teacher, apparent clairvoyance, and a vision of reality where Brahman reigns as impersonal essence. That promise of unity felt expansive—until it demanded he treat personhood, love, and moral responsibility as illusions. We contrast that with the Orthodox claim that God is personal and tri-personal: the Trinity as eternal communion, love that exists before creation, and a God who is everywhere present yet distinct from creation. Rather than absorbing us into a faceless One, God calls us by name and invites real relationship.Across the conversation, we map the turning points: irritation at the name of Jesus giving way to self-awareness, recognition of authentic Christian witness, and a rethinking of “science versus faith” that leaves shallow slogans behind. We explore discernment of spirits, why power isn't proof, and how an impersonal metaphysics drifts toward quiet nihilism. Then we look at the Orthodox vision of personhood that grounds meaning: if we're made in God's image, our capacity for love is not a cosmic trick—it's the point.If you've chased enlightenment and still long for a face behind the light, this story will meet you where you are.

Episode Summary As the year comes to a close, many believers feel more drained than victorious. Instead of rushing into resolutions fueled by pressure and comparison, this episode invites you to pause. Through a grace-centered, Scripture-grounded approach, you are guided through three spiritual activities that help you close the year in peace and step into the next season aligned with God's purpose. This teaching walks you through reflecting on God's faithfulness, releasing burdens you were never meant to carry, resetting your heart through repentance without shame, and realigning your future by receiving a word from God for the year ahead.

In ⬇️Dive Here! Part 2, we'll leave the surface behind again and follow the Great I AM into the deeper depths of discipleship—where identity is formed, the mind is renewed, and God's energeia (His active, living power) comes alive within every disciple of Jesus. This is where faith moves beyond awareness into obedience, beyond belief into witness, and beyond comfort into calling. You'll hear the truth of God's eternal love in John 3:16, the personal entry point of salvation in Romans 10, the renewing work of Romans 12, the revealed glory of Jesus in the Gospels, and the sending force of the Great Commission. Whether you're seeking truth, newly awakened in Christ, growing deeper in faith, or discipling others—this episode calls you deeper, steadier, rooted, and closer to the heart of God. Go grab your tanks… and let's dive in! God's Word:Key Passages: John 3:16; Romans 10:8–10; Romans 12:2; Psalm 139:16–18; Philippians 2:13; John 16:13; Matthew 28:18–20.

In this powerful and reflective sermon with Rev. Robin-Huws Barnes, we explore December's theme: Retrospection, Repentance, and Gratitude—a divine invitation to pause, look back, assess our walk, and return to alignment with God's Kingdom. Through humour, storytelling, and deep spiritual insight, this message leads us into a sincere examination of our faith, our families, and our devotion to God's Word. If you're ready to evaluate your year through the lens of the Kingdom and position yourself for divine alignment in the coming season, this episode is for you.

"What is the difference between confession and repentance?" Pastors Wes and Douglas offer Bible answers to this question and more in episode 13 of season 9.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel brings an illustration that may help those who wonder if the work of Christ is enough, making their own good works unable to improve on their security in Christ.

In this episode of Canary Cry Clubhouse, host Basil, joined by Pete from Days of Noah Podcast and Rod from Millennial Mustard Seed, discusses a widespread feeling of spiritual and emotional fatigue among believers. They describe this as a "siege" that depletes resources and isolates people.The conversation covers:The nature of the fatigue: It's not just physical tiredness but a spiritual heaviness, possibly a "systematic attack" exacerbated by constant exposure to news and geopolitical chaos.Combating isolation through fellowship: The guests and a caller, Aaron, emphasize the vital role of fellowship and open communication about struggles to counter the enemy's attacks and provide mutual support.The spiritual journey and "honeymoon period": Basil explains the concept of a "honeymoon period" for new Christians, where faith feels easy and joyful. He warns that this period eventually ends, leading to trials and hardships, making fellowship crucial for endurance.Repentance, Refreshing, Restoration, Return: Pete shares the scripture from Acts 3:19-21, outlining the order of repentance leading to times of refreshing and ultimate restoration.The "pipeline" to Christ: Basil notes an interesting trend where people initially drawn to conspiracy theories or fringe topics often find their way to biblical prophecy, the Nephilim, and ultimately to Christ.

Advent: The Beginning of the Good NewsMark 1:1-6Jon MoralesGifts arrive in many shapes and sizes. They are often wrapped in paper and ribbons as signs of preparation for the grand reveal. And just as wrapping paper implies readiness for the gift inside, so our hearts must bear the mark of readiness for our Savior. During Advent, we prepare our hearts for the greatest gift of all, the coming Messiah. Join us this week in our Advent series as we explore how repentance prepares us to meet the Messiah.

When your life has been saved by God and transformed by Christ, He puts a new song on your lips and a joyful noise within your heart. But you don't have to wait until Sunday to praise God. You can make a joyful noise at any time on any day anywhere under any circumstances.Support the showThanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram more info colonialkc.org

The Scripture readings are Isaiah 40:1-8; 1 Corinthians 4:1-5; and Matthew 11:2-10, 11.God knows the full debt of your sin down to the last penny. And when Jesus pours out His forgiveness, mercy, and salvation on you, it is in double measure of your debt.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel takes us back to the beginning, as he brings some basic teaching to us from the Book of Genesis.

How does a church navigate change, controversy, and continuing revelation while staying true to its foundation? The Articles of Faith lay the groundwork, but the two Official Declarations provide proof of a living church, led by a living prophet. We'll analyze the deep counsel given in these landmark sections. Official Declaration 1: The End of Plural Marriage President Wilford Woodruff faced a devastating dilemma: adhere to the law of plural marriage and lose the temples, ordinances, and leadership to imprisonment, or cease the practice. Honoring Authority: President Woodruff declared his "intention to submit" to the laws of Congress that the Supreme Court had pronounced constitutional. He even went so far as to order the Endowment House "taken down without delay" following one reported (but unproven) case of a marriage performed there. The Critical Question: He was commanded by God to "ask the Latter-day Saints a question" —which was the wisest course: to sacrifice the temples and ordinances, or to cease the practice, "leave the Temples in the hands of the Saints," and let the work for the dead continue. Prophetic Integrity: He declared he would have let all the temples go and gone to prison himself "had not the God of heaven commanded me" to do what he did, and when that command came, "it was all clear to me". This shows a willingness to fully embrace the opposing viewpoint before receiving the final divine guidance. Official Declaration 2: Revelation on the Priesthood Received by President Spencer W. Kimball after "extended meditation and prayer in the sacred rooms of the holy temple" , this declaration fulfilled the promises of earlier prophets. Divine Guidance: The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles "pleaded long and earnestly" and supplicated the Lord for "divine guidance". The Result: God "heard our prayers," and by revelation, confirmed that "the long-promised day has come". This revelation extended the priesthood and temple blessings to "every faithful, worthy man" so he could "enjoy with his loved ones every blessing" that flows therefrom. The Articles of Faith These 13 points, part of the Wentworth Letter, establish our fundamental beliefs: Core Doctrine (A of F 1-4): Belief in the Godhead , accountability for "our own sins, and not for Adam's transgression" , salvation through the Atonement "by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel" , and the first principles of Faith, Repentance, Baptism, and the Gift of the Holy Ghost. A Living Church (A of F 5-9): We believe in priesthood authority , the "same organization that existed in the Primitive Church" , spiritual gifts , and accepting the Bible and the Book of Mormon as the word of God. Most importantly, we believe God "will yet reveal many great and important things". The Path of Discipleship (A of F 10-13): We believe in the literal gathering of Israel , "claim the privilege" of worshiping according to conscience , are subject to the law , and seek after anything "virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy". Call-to-Action: What "great and important thing" (A of F 9) do you need to seek personal revelation on this week? Share your thoughts below!

God's final call to repentance (in Hosea), what would it result in?

In this episode of Theology Central, we examine a theological article that challenges "faith alone" and argues that certain works of obedience are necessary for salvation. While the argument initially sounds balanced and biblical, a closer look reveals something deeper

This sermon explores John the Baptist's call to repentance as an essential preparation for welcoming Christ anew. Some have said “If we aren't careful, John the Baptist will take all the fun out of Advent & Christmas.” Ultimately, rather than taking the joy out of this high and holy season, John's message prepares us to receive the Savior with gladness. Repentance is one of God's gifts to every believer, a gracious invitation to renewal, transformation, and jubilant readiness for Christ's coming.

In this episode of Straight Bible, we go deep into Jude 16–19 and expose one of the most dangerous realities inside the modern church: people who do what is right in their own eyes while claiming the name of Christ.We break down:

This week on Ministry Minute, we explore the message entitled, “Repentance Leads To Restoration.” We discuss the power of repentance and how God offers forgiveness and restoration, no matter what mistakes we've made in our lives. We explore how turning to Jesus can transform our past and provide hope for our future. #JesusLovesYou #Repent #MinistryMinuteRepentance Leads To Restoration | Ministry Minute EP293Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and transgressions. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/ministryminute

What if joy wasn't something you stumbled into… but something you practiced? Today's episode wraps up our 3-part series on spiritual power inspired by President Russell M. Nelson, and we're talking about one of the biggest spiritual misconceptions out there: If the gospel is a gospel of joy, then why does life feel so hard? Oh, friend. You're not alone. And it's not because joy is missing. It's because we don't know how to access it. Yet. In this episode we'll break that down. Here's what you'll learn: The real difference between "feeling good" and true joy (Hint: one numbs you, the other strengthens you.) Why joy requires redirection, not perfection (and how President Nelson modeled this masterfully—yes, through heartbreak). How boredom might actually be your biggest spiritual opportunity (and how to use that 5 minutes when your brain wants to scroll.) The simple, joyful way to "collect God's promises" — one verse at a time. Three real-life examples from scripture you can copy today: Isaiah 61 and binding your broken heart Enos and praying for people who've hurt you Alma the Younger and God hearing a parent's prayers No guilt. No forced positivity. Just real joy, the kind that grows your confidence in God and yourself. Big Takeaway Joy isn't something you wait for. Joy is something you collect, one promise at a time. When you gather God's promises, you gather spiritual power. Try This (Your Joy Challenge for the Week) Just once this week, when your brain defaults to scrolling or snacking from boredom, redirect.
