Summary

In Numbers 5, God prepares His people for their journey to the Promised Land by addressing the effects of sin. He instructs Moses to send out those who are unclean, lepers, those with discharges, and those who touched dead bodies. This separation serves as a reminder of the need to separate from sin to accomplish their task. He also provides instructions on confessing sin and dealing with jealous husbands and their wives, highlighting the significance of marriage as a reflection of the relationship between God and His people. Jealousy, whether justified or not, can be destructive, and God's desire is for faithful and committed marriages. The passage teaches the people about faithfulness to one another and to God. In Numbers 6, God gives Moses the words of a blessing to be spoken over the children of Israel by Aaron and his sons. This benediction represents God's love, care, and approval, offering a deep sense of peace and assurance.

Steve Webb 0:00 Oh to have the Lord of the universe lift up his countenance upon us.

Steve Webb 0:11 Going right at you from Riverside, California, this is the Lifespring! One Year Bible in podcasting since 2004. I'm Euro g Godcaster. Steve Webb, I hope you're doing well today. It's the law Monday And we'll read numbers five through eight. The website is Lifespringmedia.com. And I'll have contact information at the end of today's show. Before we get started, let's pray.

Steve Webb 0:48 Numbers chapter five. The Lord said to Moses, tell the people to send away from the gap, anyone who is unclean, that is, anyone who has a serious skin disease or discharge, And anyone who has touched a dead body, whether they are a man or a woman, send them away so that the camp where I am living among you will not be made unclean. So the Israelites obeyed God's command, they sent those people outside the camp. They did what the Lord had told Moses, the Lord said to Moses, tell this to the Israelites, you might do something wrong to another person. When you do that you are really sinning against God. So you're guilty of doing wrong, you must confess that sin, then you must fully pay for that wrong thing you did, you must add 1/5 to the payment And give it all to the person you had done wrong to. But maybe the person is dead And does not have any close relatives to accept the payment. In that case, you will give the payment to the Lord. That is you will give the full payment to the priest. The priest must sacrifice the RAM that makes the people pure. This RAM will be sacrificed to cover your sins, but the priests will keep the rest of the payment. If any of you Israelites gives a special gift to God, the priest who accepts that gift can keep it it is is you don't have to give these special gifts. But if you do, the gifts belong to the priest. Then the Lord said to Moses,

Podcast Introduction

Today is  Epistles Sunday, and we’ll read 1 Timothy 4-6, which will complete the book. Plus we’ll continue our Essentials series, and we’ll have a time of Praise reports and Prayer Requests.. I’m calling this episode “Spiritual Discipline.”

Design: Scott Snider | Photo: Nycholas Benaia on Unsplash

Summary

In 1 Timothy 4, Paul advises Timothy, who is leading the church in Ephesus, which has been infiltrated by false teachings. Paul addresses the cultural emphasis on physical training in verse 8, acknowledging its temporary benefits compared to godly living. While physical discipline cannot halt the aging process or prevent death, spiritual discipline has eternal significance. Paul emphasizes the trustworthiness and acceptance of this truth. The spiritual discipline and faith in the living God not only equip believers to navigate present challenges but also offer the promise of eternal life. Charles Spurgeon's words highlight the profound satisfaction found in the ways of righteousness, even in the face of hardships. Paul clarifies in verse 10 that while God is the Savior of all people, the benefits are specifically received by those who believe in Him, not all individuals. Salvation is offered to all, but only those who place their faith in Jesus will be saved.

Continuing his instruction, Paul urges Timothy to live a godly life and serve as an example to the believers in the Ephesian church, despite his youth. He emphasizes the importance of commanding and teaching these truths. By demonstrating maturity in speech, conduct, love, and faith, Timothy would establish himself as a role model for others. Some scholars argue for a translation in which Timothy is instructed to be an example "of" the believers rather than "to" or "for" the believers, suggesting that every follower of Christ should exemplify what it means to be a true disciple.

In summary, Paul highlights the superiority of godly living over physical training, emphasizing its eternal benefits. He clarifies that salvation is available to all but received through faith in Jesus Christ. Paul encourages Timothy to embody an example of faithfulness and maturity to the believers in Ephesus, highlighting the importance of living a godly life and demonstrating the qualities of a true follower of Christ.

Summary

Let us not be like these people, beloved. You and I study the Scriptures together, but let us remember that the goal is not to become experts in Scripture. Our goal is to know the Word, as in John 1:1.

Every time we take communion, or the Lord's supper, whatever you call it in your church, we are reminded of his broken body and spilled blood. The bread and the wine (or grape juice), are symbols of the sacrifice he made. But is taking communion necessary for salvation?

Steve Webb 0:51John, chapter five. Later, Jesus went to Jerusalem for another Jewish festival. In the city near the sheep gate was a pool with five porches. And its name in Hebrew was Bethsaida. Many sick, blind, lame And paralyzed people were lying close to the pool. beside the pool was a man who had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus saw the man And realized that he had been crippled for a long time, he asked him, Do you want to be healed? The man answered, Sir, I don't have anyone to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up. I tried to get in, but someone else always gets there first. Jesus told him, pick up your mat And walk. Right then the man was healed. He picked up his mat And started walking around. The day on which this happened was the Sabbath, when the Jewish leaders saw the man carrying his mat, they said to him, this is the Sabbath. No one is allowed to carry a mat on the Sabbath. But he replied, The Man Who healed me told me to pick up my mat And walk, they asked him, Who is this man that told you to pick up your mat And walk, but he did not know who Jesus was in Jesus had left because of the crowd. Later, Jesus met the man in the temple And told him, you are now well, but don't sin anymore, or something worse might happen to you. The man left And told the leaders that Jesus was the one who had healed him. They started making a lot of trouble for Jesus, because He did things like this on the Sabbath. But Jesus said, My father has never stopped working. And this is why I keep on working. Now the leaders wanted to kill Jesus for two reasons. First, he had broken the law of the Sabbath. But even worse, he had said God was his father, which made him equal with God. Jesus told the people, I tell you,

Podcast Introduction

Today is Prophecy Friday, and we’ll read Daniel 7-12. I’m calling this episode “Unlocking the Sealed Vision - Understanding Daniel's Prophecies.”

Design: Scott Snider | Photo: Silas Sousa on Unsplash

Summary

Throughout history, the focus of the church has shifted from one doctrinal topic to another. Initially, the church concentrated on defining the inspired Scripture, followed by doctrines such as the Trinity, the nature of Jesus, salvation, and the church itself. It wasn't until recent centuries that the study of end-time prophecy gained more attention. The books of prophecy, including Daniel 7-12, were often considered difficult to understand, even by the prophets themselves. However, as time progresses, we can begin to grasp some glimpses of their meaning. Daniel 8:26, for example, mentions a vision that should be sealed for future relevance. While some interpret this as indicating its incomprehensibility until the end times, others believe it suggests safeguarding its importance for later use, similar to how one would protect an essential document. The notion of being in the end times seems plausible when comparing the prophecies to current events, particularly in Chapter 12 where it mentions people running to and fro and knowledge increasing. The modern-day ability to travel quickly and the exponential growth of knowledge through technology align with these prophecies, indicating a potential correlation to our present age.

Regarding the end times, the exact timing is known only to God the Father. However, Scripture provides numerous indicators to look for. The Book of Daniel warns of a time of unprecedented trouble, but those whose names are written in the book will be delivered. The outcome of the end times involves both everlasting life and shame with everlasting contempt. Therefore, it is essential for individuals to consider their relationship with Jesus as their Savior. Those who have accepted Jesus and have their names written in the book can anticipate everlasting life, while those who have rejected Him face shame and everlasting contempt. It is a matter of choosing which side one wishes to be on in the ultimate outcome of the end times.

Podcast Introduction

Today is Poetry Thursday, and we’ll read Proverbs 17-18. I’m calling this episode “Gratitude in Trials - God's Goodness in All Things.”

Design: Scott Snider | Photo: Bing Image Creator

Summary of Proverbs 17

In Proverbs 17, one verse compares the process of purifying silver and gold in a crucible to how God tests and purifies the hearts of individuals. Trials and challenges are part of God's plan to refine and strengthen our faith, even though they may appear as tragedies. We need to trust in God's purpose and recognize that He works all things for the good of those who love Him.

Another verse highlights the joy and significance of grandchildren to the elderly, as they bring immense happiness and pride. As a grandfather, there is a special bond I share with my grandchildren. The verse also speaks about the importance of fathers in the lives of their sons, encouraging fathers to strive to be someone their children can be proud of and to cultivate a strong relationship with God to lead by example.

Yet another verse says that a joyful heart is good medicine. We should have a grateful heart, even in difficult circumstances, because God loves and cares for us.

Steve Webb 0:00Sometimes the reason is to take us through the refiner's fire.

Steve Webb 0:12Coming to you from Riverside, California, this is the Lifespring! One Year Bible And podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG Godcaster. Steve Webb, my it's good to see you today. Thank you so much for being with me. I pray your well, today is poetry Thursday And our reading will be proverbs 17. And at the website is Lifespringmedia.com. And I'll have contact information at the end of today's show. Before we get started today, let's have a word of prayer. Our gracious heavenly Father, how we love you And we thank you so much for Your Word. We thank You, Lord for the Proverbs. And I pray that as we read today, you would teach us give us wisdom, Lord today I pray in Jesus name, amen. Okay, let's begin.

Steve Webb 0:56Proverbs chapter 17. Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife. A ye servant will rule over a disgraceful son And share an inheritance among brothers. A crucible for silver at a smelter for gold, And the Lord is the tester of hearts. A wicked person listens to malicious talk, a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. The one who mocks the poor insults his maker, And one who rejoices over calamity will not go unpunished. grandchildren are the crown of the elderly And the pride of sons is their father's eloquent words are not appropriate on a fool's lips. How much worse are lies for a ruler? A bribe seems like a magic stone to its owner. Wherever he turns he succeeds. Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends. A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person more than 100 lashes into a fool. An evil man seeks only rebellion, a cruel messenger will be set against him. Better for a man to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool in his foolishness. If anyone returns evil for good evil will never depart from his house. To start a conflict is to release a flood. Stop the dispute before it breaks out.

Summary

Just as we have a responsibility to be happy, we as believers have a responsibility to worship and praise God. Even when you don't feel like giving worship and praise to God, do it anyway. And when you do, I can almost guarantee that you will begin to feel God's blessings, and you will actually feel like praising and worshipping. It's happened this way for me many, many times.

Steve Webb 0:01This is the Lifespring! One Year Bible coming to you from Riverside, California, podcasting since 2004. My name is Steve Webb. I'm your OG Godcaster. If this is your first time here, welcome. And if you've been here a while show the new folks around. Okay, today is Psalms Wednesday And our reading will be chapters 96 through 98. We'll also continue our essential series And we'll have a time of praise reports And prayer requests.

Before we get started, let's have a word of prayer. Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for our time together today And I pray that You would bless us as we study your word. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, let's get started.

Steve Webb 0:57Psalm 96 has no title And no author is mentioned either. However, in First Chronicles 16, when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem, David sang a song of praise to the Lord. This psalm echoes much of that song, giving an indication that this might be a Psalm of David, of Psalm 96. James Montgomery Boice wrote, the meaning of the Hebrew word for worship is to prostrate oneself not to praise God for His attributes, which is what the English word worship means. But here we must note that although the meaning of the Hebrew word differs from the English word, the Hebrew understanding of worship, nevertheless also involves giving God praise for his attributes. This is what is being said here. Here, the nations of the world are told to give God glory. Beloved, as we read this psalm, notice that at first it speaks to God's people. Then it speaks to the nations. And it concludes by speaking to all of creation.

Steve Webb 2:00Psalms chapter 96. Sing a new song to the Lord. Let the whole earth sing to the Lord. Sing to the Lord, praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves, publish his glorious deeds among the nations tell everyone about the amazing things he does. Great as the Lord he is most worthy of praise. He has to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens, honor And majesty surround him. strength And beauty fill his sanctuary, oh nations of the world, recognize the Lord. Recognize that the Lord is glorious And strong. Give to the Lord the glory He deserves. Bring your offering And come into His courts.

Comments on

The half-tribe of Manasseh betrayed their faith and followed the gods of the people living in the land. As a consequence, God stirred up the kings of Assyria, who took the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile.

There is a parallel between the fate of the half-tribe of Manasseh and a scene from the movie "On the Waterfront" where Marlon Brando's character laments his missed opportunities. Similarly, the half-tribe of Manasseh could have had a significant position but lost it due to their unfaithfulness to God. Believers in Jesus have been given so much, including eternal life and a relationship with God. But some Christians choose to forfeit their inheritance and become trapped in various addictions and bondages.

The book of Numbers is titled "In the Wilderness" in Hebrew, and that is really what the book is about.

Numbers covers the more than thirty-eight years they were in the wilderness.

Steve Webb 0:49I have a brief introduction to the book of Numbers for you before we get started. Numbers is titled "In the Wilderness" in Hebrew, and that is really what the book is about. The previous book, Leviticus told us the story of the Hebrew people in the year after God through Moses led them out of Egyptian bondage. Leviticus covered just a year, but the book of Numbers covers the more than 38 years they were in the wilderness.

Steve Webb 1:14Numbers, chapter 1. The LORD spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert in the meeting tent on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they left the land of Egypt: Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their clans and their households, recording the name of every male, 20 years old and above, who is eligible for military service in Israel. These you and Aaron will enlist in their military units. Take with you one man from each tribe who is the head of his household. These are the names of the men who will assist you: from Reuben, Elizur, Shedeur’s son; from Simeon, Shelumiel, Zurishaddai’s son; from Judah, Nahshon, Amminadab’s son; from Issachar, Nethanel, Zuar’s son; from Zebulun, Eliab, Helon’s son; from Joseph’s sons: from Ephraim, Elishama, Ammihud’s son; from Manasseh, Gamaliel, Pedahzur’s son; from Benjamin, Abidan, Gideoni’s son; from Dan, Ahiezer, Ammishaddai’s son; from Asher, Pagiel, Ochran’s son; from Gad, Eliasaph, Deuel’s son; from Naphtali, Ahira, Enan’s son. These are the ones appointed from the community, chiefs of their ancestral tribes and leaders of the divisions of Israel. Moses and Aaron took these men who were selected by name and they assembled the entire community on the first day of the second month. They registered them by their clans and their households, recording the name of each male 20 years old and above. Moses enlisted them in the Sinai desert just as the LORD commanded him.

Comments on 1 Timothy 1

The apostle Paul wrote 1 Timothy while he was in a Roman prison, shortly before his execution by Nero. He encouraged Timothy to keep the gift God gave him alive and emphasized the importance of actively using one's gifts for God's glory and Kingdom.

Paul urged him to stir up and maintain the gift God bestowed upon him. He said that God has given believers power, love, and sound judgment, rather than a spirit of fearfulness. Paul's words serve as a reminder that the gifts from God are to be actively used and not passively awaited. He highlights that believers have been called by God according to His purpose and grace, emphasizing the divine plan that was in place even before time began.

Steve Webb 0:09Coming to you from Riverside, California, this is the Lifespring! One Year Bible in podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG Godcaster Steve Webb, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in the Lifespring family And Happy Mother's Day especially to the lovely lady Leanne. Today is epistle Sunday will read First Timothy one through three. Also being Sunday. We'll have a time of prayer today. Before we get started, let's pray. Our heavenly Father Lord, we thank you for our time together here around your word. And I pray, Lord, that You would teach us today. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Are you ready to get going? Let's begin.

Steve Webb 0:50First Timothy chapter one. Hi, Paul. I'm writing this letter. I am an apostle of Christ Jesus just as God our Savior commanded. Christ Jesus also commanded it. We have put our hope in Him. Timothy, I'm sending you this letter, you are my true son in the faith. May God the Father in Christ Jesus, our Lord give you grace, mercy, And peace. Stay there in emphasis. This is what I told you to do. When I went into Macedonia. I want you to command certain people not to teach things that aren't true. Command them not to spend their time on stories that aren't completely true. They must not waste time on family histories that never end. Things like that cause people to argue instead of doing God's work, his work is done by faith. Love is the purpose of my command. Love comes from a pure heart. It comes from a good sense of what is right And wrong. It comes from faith that is honest And true. Some have wandered away from those teachings, they would rather talk about things that have no meaning. They want to be teachers of the law. And they are very sure about that law, but they don't know what they're talking about. We know that the law is good if it is used properly. We also know that the law is it made for godly people. It is made for those who break the law. It is for those who refuse to obey, it is for ungodly And sinful people. It is for those who aren't holy And who don't believe it is for those who kill their fathers or mothers. It is for murderers. It is for those who commit adultery. It is for those who have a twisted view of sex.

Summary of John 3

In John chapter three, Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council, visited Jesus at night. Jesus told him that unless someone is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus was puzzled by this concept, as he thought being born into the Jewish race guaranteed a place in God's kingdom. Jesus explained that being born again refers to a spiritual rebirth, which is brought about by the Holy Spirit. He emphasized that human effort alone cannot achieve this new birth.

Jesus clarified that to be born again, one must believe in Him as the Son of God. He spoke of God's love for the world and how He sent His Son to save it. Whoever believes in Jesus will have eternal life, while those who do not believe are already condemned. Believing in Jesus means putting faith and trust in Him, surrendering control of one's life to Him. Jesus, as God Himself, is capable of guiding and lovingly caring for our lives.

The invitation is extended to everyone to invite Jesus into their lives and experience the new birth and eternal life that He offers. He stands at the door, ready to be invited in, bringing hope, purpose, and a relationship with God.

Steve Webb 0:00I have seen this happen.

Steve Webb 0:09Coming to you from Riverside, California, this is the Lifespring! One Year Bible, and podcasting since 2004, I'm your OG Godcaster, Steve Webb. Welcome! I'm so glad you're with me today. This is the daily show where we're reading through the entire Bible in a year and today is Gospel Saturday. We'll read John chapters 3 and 4. Before we get started, let's have a word of prayer. Our gracious heavenly Father, we thank you for the weekend. And we thank you for blessing us with your Word. And I pray, Lord, that as we read today, you would teach us, that you would touch our hearts and touch our minds. I pray this in Jesus' name, amen. Okay, let's get going.

Steve Webb 0:49John, chapter 3. There was a man named Nicodemus, one of the Pharisees. He was an important Jewish leader. One night he came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. No one can do these miraculous signs that you do unless they have God’s help.” Jesus answered, “I assure you, everyone must be born again. Anyone who is not born again cannot be in God’s kingdom.” Nicodemus said, “How can a man who is already old be born again? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?” Jesus answered, “Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God’s kingdom. The only life people get from their human parents is physical. But the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual. Don’t be surprised that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it wants to. You hear it, but you don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born from the Spirit.
