Podcasts about Zephaniah

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by Kristi McLelland for a rich conversation about the Minor Prophets, with a special focus on the book of Hosea. Together, they trace the threads of Hosea's powerful love story—a living illustration of God's relentless pursuit of His people. While the Minor Prophets contain sobering warnings and calls to repentance, they ultimately point to a God who never gives up on His people and whose story culminates in redemption through Jesus. Pull up a chair and join us—we're so glad you're here.

In a world where everything is always changing, it is reassuring to know that God never changes.  It is incredibly comforting to know that every moment we are loved for who we are in that moment, cradled in the possibilities that He holds for each of us.  His presence is always with us and He doesn't remember our past against us.  Join Kim Miller of Woman at the Well Ministries as she takes  us on a deep dive into Zephaniah 3:17 causing us to rejoice as Christ rejoices over us.   Scriptures Mentioned in this Episode Zephaniah 3:17 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zephaniah+3%3A17&version=KJV John 4 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+4&version=KJV Isaiah 63:1 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+63%3A1&version=KJV Hebrews 13:5 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+13%3A5&version=KJV John 10:10 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A10&version=KJV Isaiah 43:1 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+43%3A1&version=KJV Genesis 16 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+16&version=KJV Psalm 118:6 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+118%3A6&version=KJV John 14 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14&version=KJV 1 Samuel 17:47 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+17%3A47&version=KJV 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+1%3A3-4&version=KJV Genesis 1:27 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A27&version=KJV Psalm 149:4 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+149%3A4&version=KJV Did you enjoy this episode?

Chicago • Lagos • São Paulo • Christchurch • Singapore LOVE • BELONGING • REASSURANCE midday prayer for God's love • Christian encouragement for difficult days • prayer for feeling valued and accepted • finding comfort in God's presence Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV) “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” There are moments when people begin to question their value. Life can be demanding, and disappointments can leave us feeling overlooked, unimportant, or forgotten. Sometimes we become so aware of our weaknesses that we struggle to remember how God sees us. Many people carry that burden quietly. The world often measures people by achievement, success, appearance, or performance. When those things feel uncertain, self-worth can become fragile. Yet God's love does not operate according to human measurements. His love is not earned through perfection, and His care is not dependent upon our performance. Zephaniah paints one of the most beautiful pictures in Scripture. The Lord is not distant from His people. He is present with them. He delights in them. He rejoices over them. Imagine that for a moment. The God who created heaven and earth looks upon His children with love, compassion, and delight. When we truly understand that truth, it begins to change how we see ourselves. We are not abandoned. We are not forgotten. We are not overlooked. We are deeply loved by God. Father, thank You that Your love remains constant even when my feelings change. Thank You that my worth is found in You and not in the opinions of others. Jesus, help me see myself through Your eyes today. Remind me that I am loved, accepted, and welcomed by Your grace. When self-doubt appears, help me stand securely in Your love. Holy Spirit, fill my heart with confidence and peace. Replace insecurity with assurance, loneliness with belonging, and fear with trust. Help me rest in the truth that I am deeply loved by God. Across the world, from Chicago to Lagos, from São Paulo to Christchurch and Singapore, may lonely hearts discover belonging, discouraged souls receive reassurance, and every listener experience the joy of God's unfailing love. Jesús, gracias porque Tu amor nunca falla. Jesus, obrigado porque o Teu amor nunca falha. Jesus, salamat dahil hindi nagkukulang ang Iyong pag-ibig. Father, thank You that I am loved more than I realise. Amen.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningZephaniah 3:17 — God Has Not Stopped Delighting In You Recorded live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Chicago • Lagos • Singapore • Wellington • Tokyo BELONGING • ACCEPTANCE • ASSURANCE midday prayer for God's love • Christian encouragement for self-worth • finding your identity in Christ • knowing God delights in you Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV) “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Many people can believe that God exists. Many people can even believe that God loves them. Yet there is often a deeper question hidden beneath the surface. What does God truly think about me? When I struggle, when I fail, when I feel ordinary, when I am carrying doubts and insecurities, how does God look at me? The answer found in Scripture is both beautiful and deeply reassuring. Zephaniah tells us that God delights in His people. He is not reluctantly tolerating us. He is not watching from a distance waiting for us to become perfect. He is a loving Father who knows us completely and still chooses to love us fully. His grace reaches into our weaknesses, His mercy covers our failures, and His love remains constant through every season of life. Jesus demonstrated that love perfectly. Throughout His ministry He moved toward people who felt overlooked, rejected, uncertain, and unworthy. He welcomed them, restored them, and reminded them that they mattered to God. That same love continues to reach people today. Father, thank You that Your love is greater than my fears and stronger than my doubts. Thank You that I do not have to earn Your affection or strive to deserve Your grace. Jesus, help me see myself through Your eyes. When insecurity tries to define me, remind me of who I am in You. When self-doubt grows louder than truth, help me remember that I am known, loved, and valued by God. Holy Spirit, strengthen my confidence in the Father's love today. Help me walk with quiet assurance, knowing that I belong to Christ and that Your presence remains with me. Across the world, from Chicago to Lagos, from Singapore to Wellington and Tokyo, may hearts be comforted by the truth that God still delights in His people and His love never fails. Jesús, gracias porque soy amado por Ti. Jesus, obrigado porque sou amado por Ti. Jesus, salamat dahil mahal Mo ako. Father, thank You that Your delight in me is rooted in Your love and faithfulness. Amen.

Alex Schroeder | Zephaniah | 1. A Day of Ruin (1:1 - 3:8) 2. A Day of Wrath (1:1 - 3:8) 3. A Day of Rejoicing (3:9-20)

In a world of injustice, what hope is there? In today's sermon in Zephaniah we see how God's judgement means hope for God's people. Come and see how the refining fire of the Lord's judgement brings the justice we long for and points us to Jesus. Judgement for the Nations and Hope for Judah (2:4-15) a) Philistia (West) - vv4-7 b) Moab & Ammon (East) - vv8-11 c) Cush (South) - v12 d) Assyria (North) - vv13-15 God's People Fail... so wait for the Lord! (3:1-8)

By October of 1887 the Downgrade Controversy—the battle against doctrinal decay in the professing church of Christ—was in full swing. Letters had appeared in The Sword and the Trowel over the previous months, and Spurgeon himself had entered the fray through August and into September. The sermon which we consider today is clearly the fruit of that conflict, with Spurgeon feeling “as if the text had been newly written for the present occasion, for it is in every syllable most suitable to the immediate crisis.” That text is Zephaniah 3:16–18, where the Lord calls his people to faithful labour and promises his saving and succouring mercies to them. Spurgeon handles the text by looking at the present trials of God's people, the glorious consolation which they have in the midst of those trials, and the brave conduct which ought to characterise them in the face of those trials. Many of us see the unhappy inheritance of the theological liberalism which took root at the end of the nineteenth century. While we may not be of the generation which saw the downgrade, we can—if we continue to heed Spurgeon's call to arms—be a generation which seeks to recover some of the lost ground.

Send us Fan MailEver read the book of Zephaniah? It's only three chapters and provides great insight into who God is. God's promise of destruction is counteracted with his promise of hope and salvation. Why would God destroy everything? Doesn't that make God evil?As one who has the power to make everything right again, God will bring justice to the world. That means that everyone who has done a bad thing is subject to that judgement. The promise of Jesus is a redemption from those mistakes of the past. Mercy for those who ask for it, and follow in his ways. The hope that is in the Christian extends past this life to life everlasting. =====Searching for answers to life's questions?

Imagine you are tasked with the care of a royal child of a far off country; they are to live with you until early adulthood when they leave to reign in the new country: What would you do to ensure a smooth transition when the time comes?We parent knowing we are stewards of lives we will one day hand off to God: we want our children to eventually know God as their true FatherOur spiritual job as parents is to help our children know God as a good Father who is:Lord of their livesProverbs 3:5-6Our spiritual job as parents is to help our children know God as a good Father who is:Lord of their livesProverbs 3:5-6The One who delights in themZephanaiah 3:17 (ESV)Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)Zach's Guide to Raising Angry Children!Give them no clear way to “win”Compromises God as Lordbecause, even though they want to do the right thing, they don't know how or feel incapableCompromises delightbecause of an atmosphere of criticismHandoff path: Give clear ways to win, largely through your praise of things they are doing really well, effort you observe5 praises to 1 criticismCulture of praise and encouragementZach's Guide to Raising Angry Children!Be inconsistent in consequences and promisesCompromises God as Lordbecause it creates a fundamental disrespect and distrust of authorityCompromises delightbecause it creates resentful parentsHandoff path:Create ways to have consistent follow-through that is age-appropriate (ex: time out - 1 minute per year)Create something your child must face other than your angerZach's Guide to Raising Angry Children!Leave them emotionally lonelyCompromises God as Lordby giving them a feeling that they are alone and must be their own mastersCompromises delightbecause emotional loneliness creates a secret inner self which feels unworthy of careHandoff path:Try to step into curiosity about their emotions, help them name feelings they are experiencingCreate opportunities for funMake margin in the week for unscheduled together timeZach's Guide to Raising Angry Children!Prioritize and connect with your kids more than you prioritize and connect with your spouseCompromises God as LordBecause it creates a framework where God, like the triangulated parent, can be related to as an equalCompromises delightBecause of the emotional dependence in a triangulated relationship which makes parental delight impossible, exchanging it for something closer to spousal delightBecause it creates feelings of jealousy and betrayal in the other spouseHandoff path:Keep regular date nights and work toward increasing emotional intimacy with your spouseThis is harder than it is with children, but the results are worth itIf you are a single parent, prioritize emotionally fulfilling and intimate relationships with friends and adult family membersDeuteronomy 6:4-9Making the Handoff DoableFamily devotions (be flexible!)Jesus Storybook BibleAudio dramas of Bible stories (Adventures in Odyssey)Media series (The Chosen, The Chosen Adventures)Making the Handoff DoableScripture memory - Psalm 119:11Make it fun!Celebrate when someone memorizes a verseMaking the Handoff DoableHave “dates” with your kids (but only if you are already having dates with your spouse)Rules:Time limitedYour child picks what you doNo criticism or teachable momentsMaking the Handoff DoableAsk trusted friends to invest in your childrenMaking the Handoff DoablePray over your kidsZephaniah 3:17 (ESV)

Episode Summary: Shame is one of the most powerful and painful emotions we experience, often leaving us feeling unworthy, unseen, and disconnected from God and others. But what if both neuroscience and Scripture revealed a pathway out of shame and into healing? In this hope-filled episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I’m joined by cohost Jessica Van Roekel to unpack how shame affects the brain, body, and spirit and how God’s truth can rewire our thinking, renew our identity, and restore our relationships. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of not being enough, this conversation will offer both the science and biblical encouragement you need to break free from shame and embrace who God says you are. Quotables from the episode: Shame is a heavy burden that whispers lies about our worth and keeps us stuck in cycles of fear, hiding, and disconnection. Yet both science and Scripture point us toward freedom. God’s truth can rewire negative thought patterns, renew your sense of identity, and restore your relationship with Him and others. When shame is triggered, we don’t just feel bad—we literally lose access to clear thinking. That’s why people spiral, ruminate, and get stuck. The fascinating part is this: neuroscience shows that shame isn’t just an emotion—It affects our nervous system, our relationships, and even our physical health. Guilt and shame are very different. Guilt says, ‘I did something wrong.’ Shame says, ‘I am something wrong.’ Shame is the enemy’s weapon to distort our identity and keep us from God’s love and community. But notice what God did. He came looking for them. He clothed them. That’s a picture of His heart. He moves toward us in our shame. When shame whispers, ‘You’re not enough,’ the cross declares, ‘You are covered. You are loved. You are free.’ What’s beautiful is that neuroscience confirms what Scripture has always said—connection heals shame. Shame may be loud, but it is not your identity. Your mistakes, your past, your wounds—they don’t define you. God does. And He says you are chosen, beloved, forgiven, and free. Scripture References: Psalm 34:5 “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. Isaiah 54:4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.” Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Free Study Guide Free PDF Resource: How to Fight Fearful/Anxious Thoughts and Win Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Free Webinar: Help for When You’re Feeling Blue Social Media Links for Host and Guest: Connect with Rev.

Send us Fan MailKnowing God's love and actually feeling loved by Him can seem like two completely different things.That gap is exactly what this episode is about. My co-host Kari Eliza of Held Right Here has spent years at the intersection of attachment science, nervous system health, and Christian faith. And what she taught me about experiencing God's love didn't just change how I pray. It shifted how I move through my whole day.In this episode, Kari Eliza walks us through a simple daily practice, one that started not as a spiritual exercise at all but as a way to calm her nervous system. What grew out of it was something she describes as the most transformative thing she has ever done.Three things you will take away from this conversation:Why knowing God loves you and feeling His love are two different things and what creates that gapHow a practice rooted in secure attachment can help you move from performance and striving into genuine rest with GodPractical ways to begin, even if sitting quietly with God feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar at firstWe talk about why Zephaniah 3:17 hits differently when you have experienced what God's delight in you actually feels like. She also highly recommends the book Anatomy of the Soul (affl.) by Dr. Curt Thompson, if you want to go deeper.This is the kind of midlife Christian women spiritual growth conversation that does not come with a five-step formula. It comes with an invitation to slow down and let God love on you.If you are pursuing a God-shaped dream, the intimacy you build with the Lord in this practice is not separate from your calling. It is the foundation of it.If you want to keep growing in community, come find us at Dream Believers, my online space for Christian women who are done waiting on the sidelines and ready to make real progress together.

Zephaniah - Living Under God's Justice and Love

I keep hearing about the Ethiopian Bible and missing books in our canon. Is there truth to this? My pastor says we need to serve the Lord more. What does that really look like? After hearing a message on Zephaniah, I'm afraid I might be "stepping on the threshold" or disrespecting God and missing out on His best. Can you help?

Intimacy with Jesus isn't reserved for the spiritually polished—it's an open invitation, already within reach, and woven into our ordinary moments. In today's podcast, Stasi and Amber Sales—of the Wild at Heart team—reflect on what it means to cultivate intimacy with Jesus over time: trusting Him with our loneliness, our shame, and our longing to be truly known. He is already nearer than our breath, already delighting over us, and as we draw near to him, he draws near to us.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV) – Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.James 4:8 (NIV) – Come near to God and he will come near to you.Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV) – The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.Romans 2:4 (NIV) – Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? …..RESOURCESThe Ladder of Love Retreat — October 1–4, 2026 in Fraser, Colorado.

Prophets to the Southern Kingdom is Chuck's commentary on the books of Joel, Micah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk. The Prophets to the Southern Kingdom spoke many promises of Israel's return to the land, Christ's second coming and the overall time line from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. In a time of great turmoil, these men focused on the hope of the coming Messiah and His Kingdom. The book of Joel is a neglected book among Bible scholars. It's an important book because it records Israel's place in God's program: from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. Micah's message was heeded, repentance followed, and disaster was postponed for a century. Here was a prophet that changed history! One man can make a difference. Both Zephaniah and Jeremiah prophesied to a politically prospering people of coming judgment. Habakkuk means to embrace. Habakkuk's main theme is God's consistency with Himself in view of permitted evil. Why do bad things happen to good people? Habakkuk is among the last of the minor prophets to preach in Judah before the Babylonian captivity. This study contains 13 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 10-01-2010
