Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hello.

4

It is Thursday and Sunday's just

right around the corner here.

5

And y'all, lemme just tell you're

gonna wanna be there on Sunday.

6

I'm just gonna tell you, you're

gonna wanna be there on Sunday.

7

So we're not buying a building.

8

We're not buying a building, but just

know that you need to be there on Sunday.

9

And we're not buying a building.

10

We're not buying a building.

11

But you need to be there on Sunday.

12

Yes.

13

You're gonna wanna be there

because we're still not buying a

14

building, but you should be there.

15

But you should be there on Sunday.

16

Yes.

17

Yeah.

18

Show up, make sure you're there.

19

On Sunday.

20

A few days from now.

21

Yeah.

22

Hey, tomorrow though.

23

I think it's tomorrow.

24

Yeah.

25

'cause this is May 1st tomorrow.

26

The reading is real tiny.

27

It's real short.

28

It's

29

Rod: four verses or something.

30

One, yeah, one Psalm, or

not even a whole psalm.

31

It's a whole psalm, but

it's Psalm 1 33, which is.

32

Really short.

33

It is really short.

34

And we're not sure why the editors

did things the way they did things.

35

Let's have them read 4,000 Psalms on

one day and then only one on another.

36

It'd be so funny.

37

Watch this.

38

It's gonna be

39

PJ: awesome.

40

It's gonna be hilarious.

41

Especially a psalm like this,

because it's not like it's tied so

42

contextually to one moment in time Yeah.

43

That we're like, of course

you could only read this one.

44

Yeah.

45

But that's the way it is.

46

So it's super weak.

47

But like we talked about yesterday,

and Pastor Rod mentioned in the

48

podcast, Hey don't let that be.

49

Let that wet your appetite.

50

Don't let that be the only

word of God, the only bread

51

that you get during the day.

52

We had some suggestions

that we gave you yesterday.

53

Maybe you wanna pick up, I don't know,

like one Peter and read one Peter.

54

It's a book that might, you might get

even more familiar with in the fall.

55

If you're showing up at Campus Bible

Church, just so maybe get a, a running

56

start on it might be helpful for you.

57

So not a long book.

58

You can dive in, you can read

it, you can read in 20 minutes.

59

Yeah.

60

Yeah, for sure.

61

Totally.

62

Yeah, first Peter would be great.

63

We're going through the

minor prophets this summer.

64

If you wanted to jump on and brush up

on some of your minor prophets, you

65

could read through a couple of those.

66

Some of those are pretty

shorter, pretty short.

67

And that, that might be

a good thing to do too.

68

Yeah.

69

But don't let the one song

be all it is tomorrow.

70

Rod: That's

71

PJ: right.

72

Or if you're behind.

73

Catch.

74

Maybe you read the psalm and then you

jump back and you catch up a little bit.

75

That'd be good.

76

Yeah.

77

That's another way to to use it.

78

Utilize that that extra time,

all that extra time that

79

you're getting in your life.

80

All the extra time.

81

Yep.

82

Hey, we talked about

men's retreat yesterday.

83

Want to give a equal

footing to our ladies?

84

And so we've got our spring tea and

testimonies coming up, ladies, and

85

that is going to be on the ninth.

86

It's the weekend before.

87

Hold on, let me get to that.

88

May 10th.

89

May 10th.

90

Thank you.

91

Yeah.

92

Not the next 10th, Grace

May 10th at Grace Church.

93

Saturday, May 10th at

94

Yep.

95

This is gonna be great.

96

We've got some ladies giving

their testimony there.

97

Kristen Gomez is one of them.

98

Shama.

99

Is giving her testimony.

100

You're gonna hear from my wife on the

testimony of a famous lady in history.

101

And the theme is Saved by Grace

Alone, which is just an awesome theme.

102

And ladies, this is a

great time to be there.

103

The tables are immaculately prepared

immaculate immaculately conception.

104

Yeah.

105

And it's just fun to see people's

creativity come out during this event.

106

It's always a favorite event of our women.

107

So be there for that.

108

Register for it online if

you haven't done that yet.

109

And attend and have a great time.

110

It's the day before Mother's Day Men.

111

It is the day before Mother's Day.

112

May 10th is the day before Mother's Day.

113

Mother's Day.

114

Just gonna leave that there for you.

115

I'm preaching a sermon all

about moms on that Sunday.

116

Yeah, I'm not, I'm

preaching a sermon for moms.

117

Okay.

118

But it's also for dads and it's also

for not moms and it's also for Not Dads.

119

Alright.

120

And it's also for grandparents and

single people and everybody else.

121

Alright so not a, it's not

for moms, but it is for moms.

122

It is, yeah.

123

Not directly for moms.

124

Right.

125

But applicable for moms.

126

Exactly.

127

Yeah.

128

That's always one of those

difficult things is are we in

129

the minor profits at that point?

130

Nah.

131

Yeah, I should know this.

132

Speaking of tongues, you should know this.

133

I should know this.

134

I've got two more messages in

John, so I believe we are, yeah.

135

Yeah.

136

We will be in minor profits at that point.

137

Yeah.

138

So that'll be a fun Wow,

fun kickoff to mother day.

139

I think its, anyway.

140

Yeah.

141

See, yeah, it's always interesting and

people do different things and curse it.

142

Are all of you there's no right

or wrong on this necessarily.

143

It's just a matter of conviction.

144

No, we're still in John.

145

Okay.

146

Rod: Yeah.

147

PJ: John.

148

May 11th is John 21.

149

15 of 19.

150

Awesome.

151

So we're wrapping up

title to be Determined.

152

T-B-D-T-B-D.

153

Maybe that's the actual title.

154

Maybe I'll figure out a

way to make that happen.

155

Yeah.

156

But some people stop down there preaching

calendars and will recognize and preach

157

a sermon on Mother's Day or preach

a sermon on Father's Day or preach a

158

sermon on, whatev whatever day it is

that happens to show up and we wanna

159

honor moms and we wanna honor dads.

160

Those are our hugely important roles.

161

In the life of the church as moms

have such a massive influence on their

162

children, and moms do a great job.

163

And even Proverbs 31 points

to the fact that women who are

164

excellent in their carrying.

165

Out of those, the roles are

worthy of commendation and praise.

166

But I've never been of the ilk to.

167

To stop down a sermon series to,

to preach a separate message on

168

the Hallmark holidays, if you will.

169

So I'll equally offend the men.

170

I'm not gonna preach a men's

sermon on Father's Day either.

171

And I, again, it's not a matter

of right or wrong, it's if you've

172

been a part of the church in the

past and people have done that,

173

great, but it's not how we roll.

174

Do roll with the word,

though, so let's do that.

175

Let's jump into Second

Samuel chapter five.

176

I'm not salty about that either.

177

I didn't mean to come across

that way if I sounded that way.

178

I think it's fine.

179

If you want to preach a

Mother's Day sermon, you can go

180

preach a Mother's Day sermon.

181

Rod: Yeah.

182

There's nothing wrong with

following a calendar and there's,

183

if you want to, you can't.

184

I know a lot of churches that

do sanctity of Life Sunday.

185

Yep.

186

I think that's the first Sunday of

the New Year because they believe

187

that's such an important part

of our current cultural calling.

188

Yeah.

189

That they wanna make a thing of it.

190

And so I think that's fantastic.

191

But in the same way that you

wouldn't say every church should do

192

that, or every church is bound by

scripture to do that, you would say

193

something very similar for things

like Mother's Day, father's Day, St.

194

Patrick's, what have you.

195

PJ: Yeah, and I think that's one

of the reasons why we have our

196

Sub Congregational ministries as

well, is because we know that.

197

Reaching women with subjects that are

specific for our women are, they're

198

gonna be able to do that with much

more facility in our women's ministry.

199

And similarly with men, we're

freed up to, to go after our men

200

in a much more targeted fashion.

201

In our men's ministry than

I can from the pulpit.

202

Now, from the pulpit.

203

I need, part of my job is I need to be

preaching to the whole congregation.

204

So I need to have application that's

relevant for all of these different types

205

of people that are sitting out there.

206

But one of the reasons why we do

Sub Congregational Ministries is

207

to afford a little bit more of a

drill down opportunity with those

208

more individualized classes than.

209

Hitting the broad and everybody

all together with a subject that,

210

for some people is not front and

center on their radar screen.

211

Let's alright, now let's jump

into Second Samuel chapter five.

212

Second Samuel.

213

Chapter five is gonna be common ground.

214

First part of this chapter is the

coronation of David over all Israel

215

and the move to Jerusalem from Hebrew.

216

So the David in initially was

in Hebrew and he was reigning

217

there, I think for seven years.

218

And the first two you remember, there was

the battle with ish Bhe, and then after

219

that he was king over the, really the

United Nation at that point of Israel.

220

But he stayed there for another five years

and then he's gonna move to Jerusalem.

221

And so the second part

tells us of two battles.

222

After David takes his place in

Jerusalem, these two battles are

223

fought and won against the Philistines.

224

And I think this is such a noteworthy

section because they demonstrate

225

David's clear dependence upon the Lord.

226

And we have a lot to learn here.

227

Because the Philistines come out

for battle and David seeks the Lord.

228

That's a good thing.

229

Anytime we read that a king seeks

the Lord's will or seeks the Lord's

230

guidance that's a commendable thing.

231

David does this.

232

The Lord says, yes, I'm

gonna give you victory.

233

So David goes out and wins.

234

And then right after this, the Philistines

come back not having learned their lesson,

235

they come back to the same battlefield.

236

And so you would think.

237

And you'd be tempted to, at least I

would go, okay, they're back again.

238

Let's just go do this again.

239

Here's part two.

240

We already sought the Lord's will

on this, and he said, go do it,

241

and so let's just go do it again.

242

But instead David says, no, I'm

gonna seek the Lord again on this.

243

And the Lord says, Hey, this is

how you're gonna do it this time.

244

And he's got a totally different plan

for David to defeat the Philistines.

245

Why?

246

And I think the only answer is that.

247

Dave, God would remind David, you have

to continually be seeking me on this.

248

You have to depend on me at all

times that I'm the one that's

249

gonna give you victory here.

250

It's not gonna be in your own strength.

251

And you can't assume or presume

upon what I'm gonna do or not do.

252

And so keep seeking my

guidance in all of this.

253

Rod: Yeah.

254

Amen.

255

Into that.

256

And I think the fact that he

does this, even though it's.

257

Chronologically before what he does.

258

There's a verse in two Samuel five that

really closely mirrors one Chronicles

259

11, which was written after the fact.

260

Now, second Samuel five, verse

10 says, David became greater

261

and greater for the Lord.

262

The God of hosts was with him.

263

One Chronicles 11, nine says,

David became greater and greater

264

for the Lord of hosts with him.

265

So basically the same verse.

266

In each of these chapters highlighting

something central about David's character.

267

This is why he's called a

man after God's own hearts.

268

Because in everything David's

not assuming or presuming, as

269

you say he's seeking the Lord.

270

And I don't know.

271

I think many times as Christians

we can overthink this ourselves and

272

say if I'm gonna pray about it, I

have to go and spend time fasting

273

and laying my case before the Lord.

274

I, you could do this pretty

quickly, I think, granted, I

275

don't know how David did this.

276

Let's just assume that it wasn't a

long, drawn out affair, but he did.

277

He went to the Lord.

278

Lord, is this a good decision?

279

What do you think about this?

280

How do I, conjure up an attack?

281

Or how do I conjure up our defenses here?

282

David just doesn't assume upon the Lord.

283

And I love that because that kind

of humility, which we talked about

284

yesterday, it's just so evident in this

particular part of his ministry reign.

285

I think that's insightful for us.

286

We ought to.

287

Se seek for that ourselves by

again cultivating a kind of

288

humility that seeks the Lord.

289

Yeah.

290

PJ: Yeah.

291

First Chronicles 11.

292

Speaking of the opening of this chapter is

in concert with Parallels second female,

293

chapter five, but we find out more here.

294

When David does move to take over

Jerusalem, it is Joab who is the one

295

that goes up to defeat the Jyp sites.

296

As David says, whoever does this

is gonna be Chief and Commander,

297

and Joe Abs the one who does that.

298

So later on when we see Joe a's

ministry under David, a lot of this is.

299

And back to his role being related to

to him taking out the J sites here.

300

The second part of this chapter then

deals with a list of the names and

301

accomplishments of David's Mighty men.

302

And so this is gonna read similar to

a genealogy in that there's a lot of

303

names here, but it's not because these

are not all related to one another.

304

This is the role of the men

who came to David, who fought

305

with David, who were heroes and

valiant in David's army and God.

306

Honors them by giving them ink

in, in the Bible recording them.

307

In fact, this is the chronicler.

308

So you would think, we talked

about zein and losing zein and

309

misplacing an entire tribe.

310

You would think, if anything, we're

gonna misplace these guys, right?

311

These guys were not societies, you know

who's who, but these were societies.

312

Who's that?

313

That, that went to David, and

so yet they were so loyal to him

314

and did so many valiant things in

service of not only David, but also

315

the Lord, that God gives them real

estate here in one Chronicles 11.

316

And we're reading about them

as we sit here, and there's

317

even there's ranks among them.

318

There's the three mighty men who

were the kind of the top, and then

319

there's the others that were, it says

that there were many who were part

320

of the 30, but they didn't ascribe

to the three were that were above and

321

beyond that did more than anyone else.

322

And so their accomplishments

are pretty fun.

323

To read through here and to see

and go, okay, these were veal

324

men, like they were, there were no

pushovers here, and these were the

325

guys that David had in his service.

326

Notice verse 41, there's a name

there that should jump out probably

327

more than all of the other ones do.

328

Za Bad Descent of Val High?

329

That's the one.

330

No, I was thinking of the

one right before that.

331

Oh, okay.

332

Yeah.

333

Uriah, the Hitite.

334

And so we haven't gotten there

yet, but Uriah, the Hitite is gonna

335

be a key figure in David's life.

336

Not in a good way.

337

And here he is.

338

Just notice that he is part of

David's Mighty Men Ride or dies.

339

Yeah.

340

So that is going to.

341

Cause a little bit of an extra twisting

of the dagger and what David's gonna

342

do to Uriah a little bit later on.

343

Chapter 12.

344

Then this is the establishment of David's

kingdom through the presence of David's

345

army, which was made up of, again, these

mighty men and men of valor, all of

346

them skilled in battle tested warriors.

347

So we get more names here in in chapter

12, just pointing to the, those that

348

helped establish the throne in in David's

possession, along with the, obviously

349

the Lord being the ultimate one there.

350

Rod: A couple quick notes

here in, in this chapter.

351

First Chronicles 12.

352

Now, first notice of verse 32.

353

You have men from Issachar.

354

And I like this phrase because I, I.

355

I thought, man, I want people like this,

the KAR men who had understanding of the

356

times to know what Israel ought to do.

357

I love that.

358

That's the kind of person, let's

just call this person a wise person.

359

This is a wise man who knows the

word and knows the times and can

360

bridge the gap between the two.

361

In fact, this is what a good pastor does.

362

Knows the times, knows the word bridges.

363

The gap between the two tells

us how to think about life

364

and everything else around us.

365

That's what these guys have.

366

Now, this is something that I

wish you would pray for now.

367

I wish that you would pursue this.

368

This is something attainable

for the Christian.

369

We have the wisdom, not only of

Solomon, but that the wisdom of Christ,

370

and this is the kind of person that

we need more of today, especially

371

in the age of AI and technological

advancement that's go going so fast.

372

Things are changing so rapidly.

373

We need men.

374

Who understand the times and women,

lemme just say men and women, I'm

375

using that in the generic sense.

376

We need people who know the times

and know what Israel, the church

377

more specifically ought to do.

378

You can have that.

379

Pray for that, pursue that.

380

Secondly, notice in verse 33, Hey, there's

ein Zein has 50,000 seasoned troops.

381

They're showing up with a large army.

382

So they're there, and if you

look down at verse 35, guess who

383

else shows up of the deadites?

384

We found them 28,600 men

equipped for battles.

385

So they're there wired.

386

They in initial, initially

in the genealogies.

387

Who knows again?

388

Yeah.

389

We gave you two options.

390

Number one it was lost

throughout time in history.

391

Someone wrote it down.

392

It just didn't get transcribed

or kept and preserved.

393

Or two, the chronicler actually did not

put them in there for some theological

394

reason that it's up to us to discern.

395

I lean toward the first, the

second's also a possibility.

396

But here they are later in the Chronicles.

397

They're here.

398

Even though they weren't there.

399

So there you go.

400

They didn't get vaporized.

401

PJ: At least not entirely.

402

Yeah.

403

Alright.

404

Let's let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode

405

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

406

God, we thank you for your word and

and for these passages we thank you

407

for David's example of humility and

seeking your guidance, your will.

408

We pray that we would do that, and

that in seeking your will and seeking

409

your guidance, we would indeed be men

and women who understand more and more

410

of you, which in turn will help us to

understand the times and the situation

411

around us, and to know how we ought

to proceed and what we ought to do.

412

We need, we say it all the time.

413

This church is not being built on

the back of a pastor or pastors

414

or a brand or anything else.

415

We need a whole.

416

Church to make this a

successful lampstand.

417

And so we pray that you do that and

multiply people like those of Issachar and

418

others, and we pray this in Jesus' name.

419

Amen.

420

Amen.

421

Keep in your Bibles, tune in and

get tomorrow for another edition

422

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

423

See you.

424

Bye.

425

Thanks for listening to another
