Scripture: Matthew 16:13-28 In Matthew 16, Jesus once more heads into predominantly Gentile territory. This time, He travels straight north to Caesarea Philippi, a prominent place of idol worship at the northern tip of Israel’s land. With His disciples struggling with hard hearts, Jesus confronts them by asking them, “Who do you say that I am?” Tune in and see how the resulting conversation would come to change the world.

Passage: 1 Kings 2:13 – 3:9 Solomon succeeded his father, David, as King of Israel and needed to consolidate his power. The king dealt with four foolish men: three were put to death, and one was stripped of his priestly power. In a dream, God offered Solomon to ask for him for anything. In contrast to the four foolish men, Solomon asked for wisdom. -- Support podtube.me continuity as a free service.

Passage: 1 Kings 1.1–2.12 With King David growing old and nearing death, the question of succession arose in Israel. God had first chosen Saul and then later David, but now what would happen among David’s many offspring? Typical of the pagan nations around them, rival siblings were vying for power, and Israel was looking less like a light and more like the world. 0:00 - Introduction & Review 3:09 - Prayer 4:49 - Lesson -- Support podtube.me continuity as a free service.

What does it mean that God made humankind the “rulers” over the works of His hands? Learn about our role in God’s creation with Pastor Jonathan Murphy’s teachings on Psalm 8 at stonebriar.org/watch. “What God is telling us through Psalm 8 and David, piggybacking on Genesis 1, is that your little solar system is to be used to enhance and display the reputation of God to whoever happens to be orbiting around you this week. You have a stewardship responsibility of people around you and of activities around you, so that you bring order out of the chaos and display the greatness of God, just like the billions and billions and billions of stars do in the heavens.” Pastor Jonathan Murphy, September 8, 2024 #shorts -- Support podtube.me continuity as a free service.

PODTUBE is a personal project and was originally developed to be used only by its creator, but then the creator decided to open it, making PODTUBE available to everybody with similar needs, for free. However, PODTUBE has server, bandwidth, development, maintenance and improvement costs. And the number of users is growing daily, requiring frequent service upgrades to keep a minimum usability level. Its continuity as a free service depends on your support.

Scripture: Mark 8:1–21   Following the events of Mark 7, Jesus remains on the Gentile side of the lake, ministering to what the Jews would call the “unclean.” After three days of teaching with no food, the crowd is in a similar predicament to the Jewish crowd a few months earlier. Would Jesus provide for the Gentiles the way He had provided for the Jews? Are the unclean on a similar footing as the clean? Who is the Kingdom of God for? Tune in as we explore the answers in Mark chapter 8.   Welcome!
