Today I wanted to talk about a book of the Bible that has been sitting in my thoughts for the past couple of months. What was Malachi’s message? That while people looked to be serving God, their hearts were far from worship. The priests, the leaders in their faith, were causing many to stumble. There were cheap offerings being made in the temple, it was for show and a part of their routine. And the people blamed every trouble on God. And Malachi called them out for it.

For July, we aren’t talking about fear. We are talking about casting out fear. Because as often as I talk about God being a protector and a provider and someone to be our refuge, He is also a Father that calls us to step up and do battle with our enemy and his tactics. And that’s all fear is. A weapon of the enemy. Isaiah 54:17 tells us that no weapon forged against us will prevail. But that doesn’t mean we won’t have to fight. So how do we fight fear? Let’s ask God. Additional Readings: Deuteronomy 31:8, Psalm 23:4, Psalm 34:4, Psalm 56:3, Psalm 118:6, Isaiah 41:10-13, Matthew 10:29-31, John ..read more

This episode, we are going to be talking about Miriam, the sister of Moses that we learned about in our last Bible study episode about the women of Exodus. The name Miriam is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved". I think the fact that her name’s meaning is conflicting with something sweet like beloved and something, well, bitter like bitter is fitting for her. If you stick around, you’ll find out why. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app ..read more
