  • 1 Chronicles 16-17 God is Good: Israel Worships and David Wonders
    In this episode, as we watch David surrender his good plan for God's greater one, get inspired to trust, worship, and walk confidently in the story God is writing for you.Themes of this podcast: God’s promises are personal and eternal. Through the Davidic Covenant, we’re reminded God’s promises were for Israel then, and through Christ, they’re for us now.Humility is the path to faith. David’s response to God’s blessing wasn’t pride—it was awe. He acknowledged everything he had was from God. We’re invited to do the same–sit with God in wonder, recognize His work in our lives, and walk in confidence because of who He is, not because of what we’ve done.Our ways are not His ways. David wanted to build a temple, but God had such a better idea. We might have the best of intentions, but God's plans are often different and ultimately better for us.Show Notes:BlogLeviticus Offerings ChartWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

  • 1 Chronicles 11-12: David, the Key to the Kingdom
    As we journey through David's rise to power, several key themes emerge that speak directly to our lives today. Let's explore how this ancient story points us toward the ultimate King who holds "the key of David."Themes of this Podcast:God's plan involves unity among His people. From Israel's tribes gathering at Hebron to the diverse multitude in Revelation standing before the throne, Scripture consistently points toward unification.Faith-filled leadership attracts loyal followers. David's authentic faith drew others to him. Do our lives display the kind of genuine faith that makes others want to follow?The Messianic Promise matters. The Chronicler's focus on David points to something greater—the promise of a perfect King who will establish an eternal kingdom. Jesus, the "key of David," fulfills this promise and opens doors that no one can shut.Show notes for this episode:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

  • 1 Chronicles 9-10: The Israelites Return and Resettle
    In 1 Chronicles 9 and 10, we discover the incredible account of the remnant who returned from exile—ordinary people who carried extraordinary responsibility for preserving God's redemptive plan. Their story reveals powerful truths about how our faithfulness today connects to God's eternal purposes and reminds us that He can use anyone, anywhere, to accomplish His miraculous work.Themes of this podcast:God's miraculous preservation of His people The return of the remnant wasn't just a historical event—it was a divine miracle that kept God's redemptive plan intact. Without these brave souls coming back to rebuild, we wouldn't have the genealogical records that connect Adam to Christ, and the entire story of salvation would have been lost. It's a beautiful reminder God calls us all to carry His purposes forward with Him, even when circumstances seem impossible.Our faith determines our future. The Chronicler bookends this section with two powerful examples: Israel's exile because of unfaithfulness and Saul's death for the same reason. He's not being subtle here—he's urgently calling the returned exiles to learn from history and choose covenant faithfulness over the disasters that come from turning away from God. The message is crystal clear: your spiritual choices don't just affect you, they determine your future and your legacy.Ordinary people can do extraordinary things for God. From gatekeepers pulling all-nighters to protect the temple to families rebuilding their lives from scratch in dangerous conditions, this passage celebrates the everyday heroes of faith. These weren't glamorous positions or easy circumstances, but they were people who said yes when God called them to serve. It's a powerful reminder that God uses regular folks in unglamorous roles to accomplish His miraculous purposes.Show Notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

  • 1 Chronicles 7-8: All Israel was Taken Captive
    In this episode, we dive into the genealogies and royal histories of the final six tribes of Israel to uncover God's radical message of belonging. Every name matters—from scattered tribes to foreign ancestors—as we explore how the Chronicler's meticulous recording reveals a divine plan bigger than Israel alone.Themes of this podcast:No One is forgotten in God’s story. The Chronicler meticulously names each tribe—even those diminished, scattered, or obscure—as well as Gentile ancestors, women, and even foreigners. The message is clear: you belong. We are all God’s people.Unity Is Possible—But It Requires Faithfulness. Though the tribes were once divided politically and spiritually, the Chronicler’s vision looks beyond the split kingdoms to a future where all tribes are united again. He calls for a new kind of unity, one rooted not in geography or politics but in our covenantal faithfulness.God’s Kingdom Is Bigger Than Israel—Inclusion Is the Plan. The Chronicler lifts the overlooked and marginalized, revealing God’s plan to include all nations. This echoes the promise to Abraham and anticipates Revelation 7—a final, complete kingdom made of every tribe and tongue.Show Notes:Blog12 Sons and 12 Tribes of IsraelTribal Allotments of IsraelWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.
