Episode #163
Probably taking place during the days after the FLOOD of Noah and the CALLING of Abraham, the book of Job describes the life of a man named Job from an ‘earthly’ AND a ‘Heavenly’ viewpoint. So much deep truth and insight… contained in the book of Job.
Episode #162
From a slave girl to Queen of Persia. Only a God who ‘sees’ could do that! And He did that! Even greater, though was her deeper mission— to save the Jewish lineage of the Messiah from total destruction.
Episode # 160
‘Walls’ are hot political topics today. Building them, especially! The book of Nehemiah is almost exclusively about that very subject— rebuilding the WALLS of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was the man chosen for the task… he persevered through the opposition… and rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem!
Episode #160
It has been 70 years since the babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar burned Jerusalem - including the Temple - to the ground. Now....it is time to rebuild the Temple. And that is the job of Ezra - to get the Temple rebuilt. For one day....a King of Kings will teach in it's court.
Episode # 159
The definition of a ‘chronicle’ is ‘a factual written account of important or historical events in the order of their occurrence’. Well… welcome the books of 1 and 2 Chronicles. These two books give an orderly account of, predominantly, the background , plan and building of the greatest structure ever built— the TEMPLE of Solomon. God filled it with His PRESENCE… and for 400 years it served as the focal point of God’s People.
Episode #158
The books of 1 and 2 Kings starts with the reign of the last great king (Solomon), then details the ‘civil war’ that breaks the ‘united’ Israel into two separate countries/kingdoms (Northern kingdom of ISRAEL and the Southern kingdom of JUDAH) to the final destruction of these kingdoms (the burning of Solomon’s Temple). Enhance your understanding with a ‘listen’ to this episode — Talking Through KINGS!
Episode #157
Two Kings… One Nation… and the Last Judge. That is what we ‘talk through’ in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel. As the last Judge of Israel, Samuel is charged with anointing TWO kings for the new ‘United States of Israel. The lives of these two kings (Saul and David) are the focus of the books of Samuel.
Episode #156
The Book of of Ruth is a ‘love story’ on many levels. A love story about a man and a women (Boaz and Ruth)— but also a deep love between two women (Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth)… AND about a Moabite lady who abandons her pagan god and commits to love and serve the God of Israel. Enjoy the fascinating story of RUTH!
Episode #155
One of the most ‘intriguing’ books of the Bible is JUDGES! The odd list of characters and their twisted and depraved exploits would put any ‘Hollywood’ movie to shame. JUDGES shows the sad depths of humanity— and how God in grace raise up ‘heroes’ to help in times of despair.
Episode #154
Over 500 years earlier, a promise was given by God to Abraham— a promise that ‘one day’ his children will have their own nation and a land to call their own. A PROMISED Land. That day is now here… and the book of Joshua is about the battles to ‘fulfill’ God’s promise and to give the Nation of Israel a place to live.
(Episode #153)Moses has lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, across the wilderness and to the border of the Promised Land. And he is about to DIE. His FAREWELL SPEECH to this new generation of Israelites... is the book of Deuteronomy.
What we call the book of 'Numbers' is call 'Bemidbar' in the Jewish tradition, which means 'the WANDERINGS. Numbers is the record of the 40 years of 'wanderings' in the wilderness. It is an exciting and event filled book. Enjoy the journey!!
Episode #151
The book of Leviticus can seem rather confusing, redundant and boring... and it is-- if you are reading it like a novel or history book. Understand, however, that LEVITICUS is written as a 'legal reference book' to help this newly freed nation-- known as Israel-- govern themselves and then the book is absolutely FOUNDATIONAL. In Leviticus we discover three 'mountains': the OFFERINGS... the LIFESTYLE... and the HOLIDAYS of this 'brand new Nation'. Without Leviticus, there is NO ISRAEL... and
no WESTERN CIVILIZATION.
Episode #150
The 7 Mountains of this episode cover over 400 years of time - from the family of Jacob traveling to Egypt - to their enslavement - to the raising up of a Deliverer named Moses. (Please check out the FACEBOOK side of the 24 MINUTE BIBLE PODCAST for additional resources to give a deeper dive of Exodus... and to help you TALK through the Bible.
Many begin in January with honest and heartfelt intentions to READ through the Bible. It is a GREAT GOAL. My invitation to you, however, is to join me on a journey to TALK through the Bible. I think you will enjoy it! I am confident you will grow from it. Each week— a new book of the Bible— and a simple way to UNDERSTAND the Plan. Give it a try! This week: the book of Genesis!
Episode #148
In this final episode about the mess that is the Middle East we will examine— through ‘historical, political and spiritual lens’ HOW to think about what is happening in this most difficult area of the world. The future of our world, as the Bible informs us, will in large part, be impacted by events in the Middle East.
Understanding the Middle East Part 4 - Episode 147
What is the motivation for such hatred against the Jews? Is it the issue of the 'land' or 'revenge' or lust for their supposed wealth? In this episode we look at the 'belief system' that really drives this unmasked vitriol.
The Palestinian Question - Episode #146
In this episode we look at three very important questions concerning the Middle East:
1. Who are the Philistines?
2. Where did the Philistines come from?
3. Are the Philistines of the bible the Palestinians of today?
To truly understand the complex Middle East, we must ask those questions. The answers will be evasive - but at least we will understand why the Middle East is such a mess.
UNDERSTANDING the Middle East — BLOOD LINES. (Episode #145)
Did you know that Abraham had 8 SONS. And over 21 boys called Abraham ‘GRAMPS’. And all were in the ‘blood line’ of Abraham. No wonder the Middle East is such a tempest— it is a ‘family feud’! In this episode we examine the many different family connections to the ‘mess’ in the Middle East. Hopefully, it will bring some light to this very complex area.
Understanding the complexity, the politics, the motives and the bloodlines of the Middle East is like trying to untangle a ‘wad of fishing line’ ! It is almost impossible. Yet— the events in the Middle East (Israel, the Arab countries, the Palestinian territories, Iran and Iraq ) are front and center on our world news today as a flashpoint for World War 3. For the next 5 weeks we will examine, from a Biblical perspective, how this whole (un)holy mess came about.
