In this episode, we read Matthew chapters 5 through 7, where Jesus delivers the Sermon on the Mount — one of His most powerful and transformative teachings. He redefines righteousness, blessing, and true obedience, calling His followers to live with humility, purity, mercy, and love even toward their enemies.

These chapters challenge outward religion and focus on the condition of the heart, addressing prayer, forgiveness, trust in God, and wise decision-making. Jesus concludes with a call to build life on a firm foundation by not only hearing His words but putting them into practice. Matthew 5–7 reminds us that life in God’s kingdom begins within and is revealed through faithful, everyday obedience.

In this episode, we begin the Gospel of Matthew by reading chapters 1 through 4, where the arrival of Jesus marks the fulfillment of long-awaited promises. From His genealogy and miraculous birth to the visit of the wise men and the flight into Egypt, these chapters establish Jesus as the promised Messiah.

We also witness His baptism, the affirmation of the Father, and His victory over temptation in the wilderness. Matthew 1–4 introduces the beginning of Jesus’ ministry as He calls His first disciples and proclaims the kingdom of heaven. These opening chapters remind us that God’s plan of redemption has arrived — and it begins with obedience, identity, and unwavering trust in the Father.

In this episode, we read the entire book of Malachi, chapters 1 through 4, where God confronts spiritual apathy, corrupt worship, and half-hearted devotion among His people. Through direct and challenging dialogue, God addresses the priests and the nation, exposing dishonor, unfaithfulness, and misplaced priorities.

Yet even in correction, God reaffirms His enduring love and faithfulness. The book closes with a promise of a coming messenger and a future day of justice and healing. Malachi 1–4 reminds us that God desires sincere worship, faithful obedience, and hearts fully committed to Him — and that His plans continue unfolding even in seasons of silence.

In this episode, we conclude the book of Zechariah by reading chapters 11 through 14, where prophecy becomes intense and deeply symbolic, pointing toward both rejection and ultimate victory. These chapters speak of a rejected shepherd, the consequences of unfaithful leadership, and coming periods of refining and judgment.

Yet the book ends with a powerful vision of hope. God promises a future day when He will defeat evil, cleanse His people, and reign as King over all the earth. Zechariah 11–14 reminds us that though there may be seasons of hardship and testing, God’s final plan is restoration, holiness, and His sovereign rule established forever.

In this episode, we read Zechariah chapters 6 through 10, where God continues to reveal His plans for restoration, leadership, and future hope. The visions transition into messages about righteous leadership and the coming of a humble yet victorious King.

These chapters address both present obedience and future promise, reminding the people that true worship flows from justice, compassion, and faithfulness — not empty rituals. Zechariah 6–10 points forward to a time when God will strengthen His people, defeat their enemies, and dwell among them in peace. It is a powerful reminder that God’s purposes extend beyond the present moment into a future filled with redemption and joy.

In this episode, we read Zechariah chapters 1 through 5, where God encourages His people during a time of rebuilding and spiritual renewal. Through a series of vivid night visions, Zechariah reveals that God is still in control, actively working behind the scenes to restore Jerusalem and bless His people.

These chapters emphasize repentance, spiritual cleansing, and the assurance that God’s purposes will prevail — not by human strength, but by His Spirit. Zechariah 1–5 reminds us that even in seasons of discouragement or slow progress, God is faithful to complete what He has promised.

In this episode, we read the entire book of Haggai, chapters 1 and 2, where God calls His people to refocus their hearts and rebuild what has been neglected. After returning from exile, the people had become distracted by their own homes and personal concerns while the temple remained unfinished.

Through the prophet Haggai, God challenges them to consider their ways and place Him first. He promises that when they obey, He will be with them and bless their efforts. These chapters emphasize that true restoration begins with obedience and renewed priorities. Haggai 1–2 reminds us that when we put God at the center, He strengthens our work, restores our hope, and fulfills His greater purpose.

In this episode, we read the entire book of Zephaniah, chapters 1 through 3, where God warns of the coming “Day of the Lord” — a time of judgment against sin, corruption, and complacency. Zephaniah speaks boldly against idolatry, injustice, and spiritual indifference, calling the people to humility and repentance before it is too late.

While the early chapters emphasize judgment, the book ends with a beautiful and hope-filled promise. God declares that He will restore, renew, and rejoice over His people with love and singing. Zephaniah 1–3 reminds us that although God is just and holy, His ultimate desire is redemption, restoration, and joy for those who turn back to Him.

In this episode, we read the entire book of Habakkuk, chapters 1 through 3, where a prophet openly wrestles with God over injustice, suffering, and unanswered questions. Habakkuk does not hide his confusion — he brings his complaints honestly before the Lord.

God responds by revealing that His plans are larger than human understanding and that faith is the key to enduring uncertain times. The book ends not with fear, but with one of the most powerful declarations of trust in Scripture — choosing joy and confidence in God even when circumstances have not changed.

Habakkuk 1–3 reminds us that faith is not the absence of questions, but the decision to trust God in the middle of them.

In this episode, we read the entire book of Nahum, chapters 1 through 3, where God announces judgment against Nineveh for its violence, cruelty, and pride. Though Nineveh once repented in the time of Jonah, it returned to wickedness, and God now declares that justice will come.

Nahum highlights both the power and the patience of God — showing that while He is slow to anger, He will not allow injustice to continue forever. These chapters remind us that God is a refuge for those who trust Him, but also a righteous judge who holds nations accountable. Nahum 1–3 assures us that evil does not have the final word — God’s justice and sovereignty do.
