Why not make studying the Bible part of the rhythm of your daily life? The Bible Journey Daily Podcast is a 10-year plan to study through the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Season one is a short overview of each of the sixty-six books of the Bible. Season two launched our expositional journey through the whole Bible, beginning with the book of Genesis. Thereafter, each season takes a New Testament/Old Testament alternatively until the project is complete. (God willing)  Why not join me on this exciting journey as we study the whole Bible together from Genesis to Revelation?

    Living a Life of Contradiction. (2 Chronicles 11: 1-23)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: My title for this episode is “Living a Life of Contradictions. And if we’re honest, that describes most of us far more accurately than we’d like to admit.  We tend to think of people as either obedient or disobedient to the Lord, as if life were neatly divided into two categories: the faithful and the unfaithful, the righteous and the unrighteous, the obedient and the rebellious.  But life isn’t that tidy. And neither are we.  The truth is that every one of us lives a life containing both obedience and disobedience. Moments of faithfulness followed by moments of failure. Acts of devotion followed by acts of compromise. Steps toward God are often followed by steps away from Him.  In that sense, we all live lives of contradiction.  And in the Old Testament, one of the clearest illustrations of this is Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, a man who could obey God one moment and contradict that obedience the next. A man who could listen to wise counsel in one chapter and reject it in the next. A man who could strengthen the kingdom in one breath and weaken it in another.  Rehoboam is an archetype. He shows us what happens when obedience and disobedience coexist in the same heart. He shows us the danger of inconsistency. He shows us the cost of contradiction.  And 2 Chronicles 11 gives us a vivid picture of that reality.   This chapter is not just about ancient politics. It’s not just about Judah and Israel, and it’s not just about kings and kingdoms. Because it is also about the spiritual contradictions that live inside us — and what happens when we allow those contradictions to shape our decisions, our relationships, and our walk with God.  So today, we’re going to look closely at 2 Chronicles 11:1–23.  We’re going to see what Rehoboam did, and what he failed to do. We’re going to see where he succeeded, and where he contradicted that obedience. And we’re going to learn what we should avoid, what we should pursue, and how we can live with greater consistency before the Lord. Let’s begin….

    A Foolish Decision, a Fractured Kingdom, and the Theology Behind It. (2 Chronicles 10 1-19)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: Today we come to a chapter that is both painfully human and profoundly important. It is a chapter built around one of the stupidest decisions ever made by a king of Israel.  And let’s be honest: We’ve all done it. We all know others who have done it. There are no exceptions. All of us, at one time or another, have made stupid decisions. But 2 Chronicles 10 introduces us to a stupid decision of a different kind, one that most people don’t even know exists, and one that changed the course of Israel’s history.  Stupid because the decision made in this chapter describes the division of the kingdom of Judah from the majority of Israel.  It is the moment the united kingdom becomes a divided kingdom. It is the moment Rehoboam steps onto the stage. And it is the moment a foolish choice fractures a nation. But there’s another theme woven through Chronicles, a theme you’ve heard me mention again and again:  The relationship of each king to the Temple reveals the condition of his heart. That’s why the chronicler keeps bringing us back to the Temple: Its worship, its priests, its sacrifices, its maintenance, its neglect, and its restoration. Because the Temple is the spiritual barometer of the nation, and the king’s attitude toward the Temple is the spiritual barometer of the king. So, with that in mind, let’s turn now to 2 Chronicles 10 and examine the decision that split a kingdom — and the lessons it still teaches us today.

    Living Your Faith in All Areas of Your Life. (2 Chronicles 2 8: - 9:31)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth, study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: Today we come to a chapter that offers a very practical, very human reminder, one that speaks directly to how we live our everyday lives.  Some people work hard at their work, but do not work as hard in other areas of their life. They give their best to their career, but not to their relationships. They pour energy into their projects, but not into their spiritual growth. They strive for excellence in one area but settle for mediocrity in another.  But Scripture reminds us that we are called to pursue our greatest potential in every area of life, in our work, in our worship, in our relationships, in our responsibilities, and in our walk with God. And nowhere is that more clearly illustrated than in the life of Solomon. This chapter parallels 1 Kings 9, and together they paint a picture of a man who applied himself with diligence, wisdom, and purpose.  Solomon built. Solomon organised. Solomon fortified. Solomon administered. Solomon led. Solomon worshiped. Solomon governed. Solomon expanded. Solomon completed what God had given him to do.  And from this passage, it is fascinating to observe what Solomon did, and just as importantly, how he did it. Because Solomon’s accomplishments were not random and they were not accidental. They were the fruit of focus, discipline, wisdom, and obedience.  So today, we’re going to work through 2 Chronicles 8 and 9 and look closely at Solomon’s achievements. We’re going to see how he stewarded the blessings God gave him, how he managed the responsibilities entrusted to him, and how he applied himself to the work God placed in his hands.  And as we do, we’re going to ask a simple but important question like: What can Solomon’s example teach us about living faithfully and working wisely in every area of our own lives?

    When Things Are Going Well. (2 Chronicles 7: 1-22)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth, study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: Today we come to one of the dramatic, breathtaking moments, a moment that speaks directly to our spiritual lives today. As in everyday life, our spiritual life also has ups and downs. There are valleys, seasons of struggle, dryness, confusion, and waiting, and there are mountaintops, moments when God feels near, when prayer feels alive, when worship feels powerful, when obedience feels joyful.  But here’s the danger: When we are on top spiritually, we often forget a very important spiritual principle, and in 2 Chronicles 7, God Himself spells out that principle.  This chapter opens with one of the greatest mountaintop experiences in all of Scripture. Solomon has just finished praying. The people are gathered. The Temple stands complete. And then, suddenly, the glory of God descends. But it is after this mountaintop moment, not before it, that God speaks, and what He says is not about fire, or cloud, or glory.  It is about the principle that can sustain a believer when the mountaintop fades a little. It is about how to seek God when life is ordinary, how to return to God when life goes wrong, and how to walk with God when the fire is gone and the cloud has lifted. In other words: God uses a mountaintop moment to teach a valley principle, and that principle is one of the most important in all of Scripture. A principle that has shaped revivals, restored families, restored nations, healed hearts, and renewed believers for centuries. Let’s turn now to 2 Chronicles 7, and let’s see if we can discern what that principle is…. Support the show This podcast is entirely the work of Jeremy R McCandless...

    Learning Wisdom from Solomon's Prayer. (2 Chronicles 6: 1-42)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth, study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: How would you like to learn to pray better?   Imagine being able to stand beside someone God Himself calls wise, someone who understood things like worship, leadership, repentance, and the presence of God, and simply listen as he pours out his heart before the Lord.  Well, we have that opportunity. Because in 2 Chronicles 6, we are given the longest prayer recorded anywhere in the Bible. But this prayer is not ritualistic in any way. It is not a formality, and it is certainly not a speech for the benefit of those listening. It is a window into the heart of a man who understood God’s holiness, God’s faithfulness, and God’s mercy, and who understood what it means to seek God in prayer.  So today, we’re going to listen to Solomon pray. We’re going to walk through his words, and we’re going to ask,  What can this wise man teach us about prayer? What does his prayer reveal about God, and how can his example shape our own prayer life today. Support the show This podcast is entirely the work of Jeremy R McCandless...

    When God Fills the Temple. (2 Chronicles 5: 2-14)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth, study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: In our last episode, we watched the Temple rise stone by stone, beam by beam, overlay by overlay. And it is presented to us as the raising of a building designed to teach Israel how to approach God. But today, in 2 Chronicles 5:2–14, something extraordinary happens. This moment is the climax of everything Solomon has been preparing for. It is the core of the entire Temple narrative, and it raises two deeply important questions for us:  What does this teach us about seeking God, and how do we know when God approves of our actions?  Because in this passage, Israel does something overwhelmingly simple. They seek God by bringing the ark, the symbol of His presence, into the place He commanded. And God responds in a way that leaves no doubt about His approval. “The house will be filled with a cloud,”  and “The glory of the Lord filled the house of God.”  God makes His approval visible, His presence unmistakable, and His pleasure known, and that is what we’re going to explore today.  What does it mean to seek God faithfully?  What does obedience look like in practice?  And how does God show His approval, but not through clouds and glory today, but through Scripture, providence, and the witness of the Spirit?  So, turn with me now to 2 Chronicles 5, beginning at verse 2, as we watch the ark enter the Temple — and discover what this moment teaches us about seeking God and knowing His approval…..

    What Can a Building Teach You. (2 Chronicles 3:1-5:1)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: It’s great to have you with me again as we continue our study through 2 Chronicles. Today we arrive at one of the most visually rich and symbolically loaded portions of the entire book. The actual construction of Solomon’s Temple.  You know, one look at certain buildings tells you a great deal. If you see a fire station, you know exactly what’s inside: fire engines, equipment, and people trained to respond when something goes wrong.  If you see a traditional church building, you immediately picture pews, a pulpit, and a congregation gathered to sing and hear the Word of God.  So, here’s the question that guides our episode today:  What can we learn simply by looking at the structure of Solomon’s Temple? What does the building itself teach us? So today, we are going to let the building speak…. Support the show This podcast is entirely the work of Jeremy R McCandless...

    Living in a Secular World. (2 Chronicles 2 1-17)

    Send us Fan Mail This Podcast is a project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  Episode Notes: Last time, in chapter 1, we watched Solomon begin his reign with worship, humility, and that unforgettable request for wisdom. He started well, and God honoured him.  Now, in 2 Chronicles 2, Solomon moves from worship to work.  If chapter 1 showed us Solomon’s heart, chapter 2 shows us the work of Solomon’s hands.  This is the moment where the young king begins preparing for the greatest building project in Israel’s history, the construction of the Temple. And what we see in this chapter is not just architectural planning; it is illustrating something of spiritual seriousness. Solomon understands that building something for the Lord requires careful preparation, thoughtful organisation, partnership with others, and a deep sense of reverence for the God he serves. In chapter 1, Solomon asked for wisdom. In chapter 2, we see him begin to use that wisdom.   So today, as we open 2 Chronicles 2, we’re going to explore Solomon’s vision for the Temple, as well as his understanding of God’s greatness. We will also note his partnership with King Hiram of Tyre, and the spiritual principle that lies beneath the entire chapter:   When God gives wisdom, He expects us to put it to work.
