  • 008: But Evil Is Winning God

    When evil seems to be winning, we have to remember three things about God:

    1. God will bring redemption of out the enemy’s evil plans. God not only saves Joash, but uses Jehoshabeath to redeem the role of women. We also see that Jehosheba and Jehoiada together are agents of redemption for marriage. Redemption is one of the most beautiful themes in the Bible. God creates something good but it’s subverted for evil – then comes in again and redeems it, giving it back the purpose and goodness it was always meant to have. The throne in Judah was meant for the royal seed. Athaliah tries to taint it, but her plan backfires and she is destroyed.
    2. God will bring His promise/plan to pass. With God, life always arises out of death. With Joash hidden, God’s plan was quietly unfolding with the passage of each year. The ascension of Joash to the throne is evidence of God’s continued faithfulness to His promise made to David in I Samuel 7.
    3. God will bring justice according to His sovereignty/timing. The death of Athaliah shows that God sometimes metes out justice in temporal matters. We see this happen in both Old and New Testaments. However, God does this according to His own wisdom and for our good.

        • 007: GROW UP: Practice Your Patience

          This episode marks the final in the three part series titled Grow Up. Patience is defined as the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset. Children paint an accurate picture of how patience is developed. Patience is a virtue rarely seen in young children—even less so in infants. Most children are impatient—throwing tantrums when they can’t have their way. As they get older, most kids understand how to wait and why you have to wait. But when patience isn’t developed in kids, it often reveals itself in anger and temper outbursts in adults.

          When it comes to your spiritual life, patience is something that should be evident—it’s a fruit that should be clearly seen.As mentioned earlier in this series, Adam and Eve were supposed to be patient and grow up in wisdom and understanding. Then, when they were strong enough and wise enough, God would let them eat of the Tree of Knowledge, and would invest them with authority. But their impatience landed them (and us) in a world of sin.

          Abraham is a great study in how patience is matured as we walk with God. We are told to imitate him. Hebrews 6:12 tells us to be "imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises" and as for Abraham, we are told in Hebrews 6:15, "having patiently waited, he obtained the promise.”

          Two Kingdoms of patience 1. Way of man: seizing before its time. 2. Way of God: faith, trust and patience. Communion with God, maturing to gain more authority.

          Consider your level of patience, especially as it pertains to God’s plans unfolding in your life. Do you have the patience to wait a year for a prayer to be answered? Consider how you wait. Do you huff and puff as you wait? Your reaction is a picture of your maturity in God.

            • 006: GROW UP: Watch Your Step

              A mature believer’s life is marked by a consistent walk—not one that’s marked by fits and start. There should be consistency in your walk. Paul instructs us to "Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ." (vs. 27, NKJV) In the Greek this phrase refers to giving equal weight. In other words our walk should be consistent with our talk. If we confess Jesus Christ as Lord, our walk should match our talk. There should be consistency in our home life and our spiritual life. There should be consistency in our work life and our spiritual life. There should be consistency in our leisure life and our spiritual life.

              Scriptures: Galatians 5:25; Proverbs 6:16-19; Colossians 2:6, 7; Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:18, 2 Timothy 2:22; I Peter 3:11; Psalm 119:133

              The Greek word translated “walk” is peripateō, which Strong’s Concordance defines as “figuratively to live, deport oneself, follow.”

                  Episode Summary:

                  This is the first in a series titled Grow Up. Maturity in God has nothing to do with chronological years and everything to do with your knowledge of good and evil.
