    When obedience becomes worship and provision becomes prophecy

    Send us a text A quiet ascent, a hard command, and a name for God that changes how we face the unknown—walk with us through Genesis 22, where Abraham calls obedience “worship” and discovers the Lord who “will see to it.” We read the passage in full, sit with the tension of the knife and the voice from heaven, and follow the moment the ram appears in the thicket. Along the way, we unpack the Hebrew textures of “test” as refine, not trap, and “provide” as see ahead, not mere supply. The story reorients sacrifice away from fear and toward trust, away from performance and toward a Person who arrives before we do. We explore Abraham’s line, “We will come back,” and how that reveals a faith stretched between two hopes: either God would provide a substitute or raise Isaac from the dead. That double horizon points forward to Calvary, where what God required, God provided, and where substitution becomes the heartbeat of grace. We also face the difficult question of child sacrifice head-on, seeing how God disrupts the patterns of surrounding cultures and reframes devotion through protection, provision, and promise. From covenant renewal to blessing for the nations, Moriah becomes a signpost of a larger story that reaches into our own fears and choices. If you’re standing at your own Moriah—holding something precious, unsure what comes next—this conversation invites you to see obedience as adoration and to trust the God who sees ahead. We end with a simple practice: ask what God is inviting you to place on the altar today, and listen for where provision already waits. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so others can find these journeys too. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God’s Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

    Jesus Spells Out the Upside-Down Kingdom

    Send us a text A quiet hillside becomes the stage for the most searching vision of human flourishing ever spoken. We walk through Matthew 5 and let the Beatitudes, the call to be salt and light, and the hard words on anger, lust, oaths, retaliation, and enemy love work on us—not as slogans, but as a new way of being shaped by a faithful King. The message is uncompromising and strangely gentle at once: blessing meets broken places, and holiness reaches beyond rule-keeping into the motives and desires that steer a life. We start where Jesus starts: with a list of blessings that overturn our instincts. Poverty of spirit receives a kingdom. Mourners find comfort. The meek, not the aggressive, inherit the earth. Then we move into the public life of disciples: preserving good like salt, revealing truth like light, living so that God gets the credit. From there, the line tightens. Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets and raises righteousness beyond performance. Anger becomes a matter for reconciliation before worship. Lust is exposed as heart-level unfaithfulness. Marriage and speech demand integrity. Retaliation gives way to radical generosity. Love crosses enemy lines, reflecting the Father who sends sun and rain on all. We don’t pretend this is easy. We name the impossibility of self-powered virtue and point to the One who embodies every word he speaks. The King who teaches is the King who redeems, draws near in mercy, and gives a new heart. Along the way, we offer grounded practices: initiating repair when relationships strain, choosing simplicity in speech, setting wise boundaries for purity, and taking the second mile when wronged. The aim is not flawless performance but growing wholeness—“be perfect” as a call to become complete in love. Stay to the end for prayer and a look ahead to Abraham’s costly faith in Genesis 22. If this journey helps you see Jesus more clearly, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Grace First, Then the Ten: Why Exodus 20 Still Speaks

    Send us a text Thunder shakes the mountain, a trumpet sounds, and a rescued people hear the words that will shape their life together. We return to Sinai and read Exodus 20 in full, but we don’t stop at the list; we press into the heartbeat behind it—grace first, then guidance. Before a single command is given, God names what he has already done: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt.” That opening changes everything, transforming the Ten Commandments from a ladder into a mirror and a map for a redeemed people. We trace the flow from loyalty to God—no other gods, no idols, the weight of God’s name, the gift of Sabbath—into love for neighbor—honor parents, protect life, keep covenant, respect property, tell the truth, cultivate contentment. Along the way, we draw a line from Sinai to Jesus’ teaching in Matthew: righteousness reaches the heart long before it reaches the hands. Anger seeds murder, lust shadows adultery, and coveting fuels quiet unrest. We explore how the altar’s instructions, set right beside the Law, anticipate atonement and point forward to Christ as the Lamb of God—justice satisfied, mercy offered, and a new way of living opened. This conversation also names pride and ego as the hidden root behind so much harm—idolatry of the self, dishonor at home, betrayal in marriage, theft, slander, envy. We talk about humility not as self‑neglect but as the joyful freedom of trusting God’s care, embracing limits, and loving our neighbors without keeping score. If you’re hungry for a grounded take on the Ten Commandments, Sabbath rhythms, heart‑level ethics, and the connection between law and grace, this episode offers a clear path forward. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves biblical theology, and leave a review to tell us which commandment challenged or encouraged you most. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today.

    Kneeling with the Magi

    Send us a text The story opens with motion: travelers from the east scan the sky, see a sign, and choose to move toward a promise. That simple act—to ask, to seek, to kneel—runs headlong into a ruler who confuses fear with leadership and control with safety. We sit with Matthew 2 as it unfolds like a map of trust, tracing the Magi’s courage, Herod’s deceit, Joseph’s midnight obedience, and the God who quietly steers each step through dreams and fulfilled prophecy. We talk about why the Magi’s gifts still speak—gold for a real but hidden kingship, frankincense for a priest who brings us near, myrrh for a path that descends into suffering before rising to life. We reflect on worship not as a performance but a posture, the kind that drops to its knees and offers what it holds. Alongside that reverence, we face the ache in Bethlehem, where Rachel’s tears remind us that redemption does not skip the valley. Yet even in grief, there’s a thread of providence—Egypt as refuge, Nazareth as home, prophecy as the quiet architecture beneath the journey. This conversation leans into discernment in a world where flattery can hide a dagger. We explore how to test smooth words, stay alert to the Spirit’s prompting, and move with courage when God says “rise.” If you’ve ever wondered how divine promises survive human schemes, or how ordinary choices can carry eternal weight, you’ll find resonance here. Listen, reflect, and consider where you might be called to kneel, to wait, or to take the next faithful step. If this story stirred something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it. Your thoughts and questions help shape where we go next—what stood out most to you today? The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today.

    Heaven rejoices when the lost are found

    Send us a text A shepherd leaves ninety-nine, a woman lights a lamp and scours the floor, and a father runs down the road with reckless joy. We walk through the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the two lost sons to find their shared center: a God who seeks, finds, and celebrates before anyone can earn their way back. The setting is tense—tax collectors drawing near while religious leaders grumble—but the response is not a debate. It’s a trio of stories that build like a symphony, each movement louder than the last, until the feast erupts and a question lingers at the door. We slow down to notice the textures: the sheep lifted onto shoulders, the coin discovered after diligent searching, the robe and ring that restore status, and the sandals that mark sonship rather than servitude. We talk about repentance as a turning toward home rather than a performance, and we wrestle with the older brother’s outrage at mercy that looks unfair. The ending stays open on purpose. Will we step inside and share the joy when someone we think doesn’t deserve it is welcomed? What does it mean to build communities that throw parties for one returning heart, echoing the joy of heaven over a single repentant person? Along the way, we explore how value is assigned not by productivity or proximity but by belonging, and how grace disrupts the math of merit. If you’ve run far or kept score, if you’ve felt unworthy or resentful, this conversation offers a way home—and a seat at the table. Listen now, share it with someone who needs a welcome, and if this moved you, subscribe and leave a review so others can find the story of a God who seeks, rejoices, and runs. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now.

    When the valley comes, the Shepherd draws near

    Send us a text What if the deepest peace doesn’t wait for calm, but meets you right in the middle of the fight? We open Psalm 23 and trace its simple, fierce logic: a Shepherd who leads and restores, a valley where fear loses its grip, and a feast set in full view of enemies. As we move line by line, we unpack the surprising shift from talking about God to talking to God, and why intimacy often blooms where the light feels thin and the shadows loom large. Together we sit with the rod and staff—protection and direction in one faithful hand—and explore how abundance looks when it overflows in unlikely places. The image of oil and a brimming cup isn’t spiritual decoration; it’s a defiant promise that nourishment and honor can arrive while the battle still rages. We also dig into the Hebrew sense behind “follow,” discovering that goodness and mercy are not lagging behind us but actively pursuing us, reshaping how we read both setbacks and surprises across our days. You’ll hear a short reading of Psalm 23, a practical guide to memorizing it piece by piece, and reflections designed to travel with you into workrooms, hospital halls, and quiet kitchens. By the end, expect a sturdier hope, a clearer picture of God’s presence, and a fresh desire to rest, walk, feast, and dwell under the Shepherd’s care. If this spoke to you, share it with a friend, subscribe for the next episode where we turn to the prodigal son, and leave a quick review to help others find their footing in these timeless words. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God’s Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

    Divine Interruption: How God Calls the Unlikely to Extraordinary Purpose

    Send us a text The burning bush, a divine interruption that forever changed the course of history. Moses, a fugitive shepherd in the backwaters of Midian, encounters God in the most unexpected way: through ordinary brush set ablaze yet mysteriously unconsumed. This pivotal moment reveals profound truths about how God works in our world and our lives. At the heart of this encounter stands God's breathtaking self-revelation: "I AM WHO I AM." These words unveil the very essence of God, His self-existence, His independence, His unchanging nature. The name speaks to God's absolute reliability and becomes the foundation upon which every divine promise rests. When Moses questions his adequacy for the monumental task before him, God doesn't boost his confidence with assurances about his leadership qualities. Instead, He offers something far more powerful: "I will be with you." God's presence, not human capability, becomes the bedrock of Moses' calling. What makes this passage especially meaningful is how it illuminates the pattern of divine initiative in redemption. Before Moses takes a single step, God has already seen the affliction of His people, heard their cries, known their sufferings, and come down to deliver them. This cascade of divine action reveals the heart of God, One who moves first in compassion before inviting us to participate in His redemptive work. The story challenges us to recognize the burning bushes in our own lives, those moments when God interrupts our ordinary routines with His extraordinary presence, calling us to purposes greater than ourselves. What might God be calling you to do today that you've been hesitating to embrace? Remember, when God calls, He equips, providing everything we need precisely when we need it, if only we'll step forward in obedience. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you’re brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God’s Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

    The Prophetic Promise: Unpacking Isaiah 9's Divine Revelation

    Send us a text Light breaks through darkness in Isaiah 9, one of Scripture's most profound prophetic passages. We journey through this remarkable text that announces hope amid despair and reveals the divine nature of the coming Messiah through a series of majestic titles. The Hebrew word for "light" here, "or", echoes Genesis 1, signaling that the Messiah's arrival represents nothing less than a divine new creation. When Isaiah proclaims "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," he's not merely crafting beautiful poetry. Each title unveils a facet of Christ's nature: divine wisdom beyond human understanding, explicit deity as God the warrior, eternal paternal care, and the bringer of complete wholeness (shalom). While ancient listeners may have hoped for immediate relief from Assyrian threats, this prophecy transcends their circumstances, pointing to an eternal kingdom "with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore." The declaration that "the government shall be upon His shoulder" offers profound comfort—the ultimate weight of responsibility rests not on fallible human leaders but on the Messiah Himself. His kingdom, unlike every earthly empire, has no expiration date. As we reflect on these ancient words, their fulfillment in Jesus becomes clear. The zeal of the Lord Himself guarantees these promises, demonstrating God's passionate commitment to establish His perfect rule through Christ. Have you experienced the light this passage promises? The divine wisdom, strength, hope, and peace available through the one who shoulders the government of all creation? Join us as we continue exploring the greatest story ever told, a story that includes you and me. The Bible isn’t just an old book—it’s God’s story, and it’s still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God’s Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now.
