Listen Later

Welcome to GraceVine's Daily Bible Podcast. Today, we're on a powerful journey, moving from the detailed craftsmanship of God's holy tabernacle to a storm-tossed boat on the sea. We'll see the awesome power of Jesus, but also the shocking reaction of people who valued their comfort more than His presence. This episode asks a tough question: what does it really cost to follow Him, and what kind of "fear" does He truly deserve?


What You’ll Hear:

  • Exodus 37:1-38:31: The skilled artisan Bezalel oversees the construction of Israel’s most sacred objects, including the Ark of the Covenant, the lampstand, and the incense altar, all symbols of God's holy presence.

  • Matthew 8:18-34: Jesus challenges would-be followers with the high cost of discipleship, demonstrates His absolute authority by calming a violent storm, and sets two demon-possessed men free—only to be asked to leave by the local townspeople.

  • Psalm 34:11-22: We are invited to learn the true "fear of the Lord"—not panic, but an awe that leads to peace and obedience, with the promise that God is always close to the brokenhearted.

  • Proverbs 9:9-10: We discover the foundational key to life: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom," a principle that separates the wise from the mocker.


Includes:

  • A reverent reading of the NIV (Anglicised) text

  • Heartfelt reflections on the cost of discipleship and the awe God deserves

  • A spirit-led prayer for wisdom and priorities
