Hey everybody.

2

Welcome to Sunday's edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Happy Lord's Day.

4

Hope you're making it to church

already, or you've already been,

5

or you've been to church already?

6

I don't know anybody that

listens to us post church.

7

Yeah.

8

We're the kind of thing that

people do first thing in the

9

morning, and if they don't do it,

probably not gonna come to it.

10

Yeah.

11

'cause they're like, we

already got enough church.

12

Too much.

13

We've been there, we heard enough.

14

Too many pastors in my

life don't need that many.

15

Let's yeah let's be done with them.

16

Yeah.

17

So hopefully you are

on your way to church.

18

You're gonna preach

for me again this week.

19

Sure.

20

Okay.

21

Just gotta gimme at least

50 minutes heads up.

22

Okay.

23

Will do.

24

Yeah, you can do that.

25

That'd be great.

26

I'll do that.

27

We're back in first Peter

continuing the series and

28

looking at only two verses today.

29

But just as long as sermon.

30

Just as long as sermon, if not more.

31

Whoa.

32

So don't get excited, but

it's child dedication Sunday.

33

Oh.

34

But I did take out a worship song for you.

35

You, so I think that should

buy you a little bit of time.

36

I appreciate that, man.

37

Yeah.

38

At least five minutes.

39

That's good.

40

I'll utilize those five minutes.

41

So we hope so.

42

Yeah.

43

Yeah.

44

Quite a handful of of

kiddos being dedicated.

45

All boys.

46

How many?

47

I think we've got six or seven.

48

Six.

49

No way.

50

Yeah, that's more than I expected.

51

Yeah.

52

Okay.

53

Yeah, I probably should

take out another song then.

54

Yeah.

55

There's a couple of 'em.

56

Same family though, oh, okay.

57

It'll go quick.

58

Two birds, one stone, that,

the Chipotle line situation.

59

Roll 'em on through quickly.

60

Yeah, just roll 'em straight on through

'em at charge extra for the guacamole.

61

That'd be nice.

62

Which is weird that we do that with

child indications, it's just a thing.

63

It's a thing.

64

It's our thing.

65

Yeah.

66

Here's guacamole.

67

Yeah, looking forward to that.

68

We've got 1 0 1 today too after church.

69

So if you're new with us and you've

been tuning into the podcast and you

70

haven't been to a one-on-one, we'd

invite you to stick around for that.

71

That'd be good.

72

Feed you, we'll provide lunch

for you and give you an idea of

73

who we are and what we're about.

74

We only go about an hour

or two, if even that.

75

Sometimes we're out by like 45 minutes.

76

Our last one went longer, but that was

'cause people had so many questions.

77

There was too many

questions, which was great.

78

Kept us going.

79

Six hours went by pretty quickly though.

80

It did all things considered.

81

Yeah.

82

Did not feel like six hours.

83

Yeah.

84

So it is a platform though, a chance for

you to ask questions, to find out, who

85

we are, why we do things the way we do,

and where you can fit with our church.

86

And we feel like you probably

will fit with our church.

87

Oh, for sure.

88

Yeah, we think that you'll fit.

89

Yeah, we know you will.

90

We don't have any questions

because we answered them all

91

over the last couple episodes.

92

That's true.

93

But here's something fun.

94

Here's a fun thing.

95

Chris Toman unleashed a new album.

96

Unleashed.

97

Unleashed.

98

That guy's gotta be,

he's gotta a New York 60.

99

60.

100

Yeah.

101

Yeah, because he's been at it, he's

been at it quite a minute and get this

102

is the first album I've ever seen,

and I'm sure he's not the only one.

103

I don't think he's innovating here.

104

But it is pretty innovative

for Christian music.

105

He's got several songs, 1, 2, 3, 4 songs

that are titled, get This, there's Emojis.

106

I saw that.

107

I don't even know what that means, right?

108

We're gonna sing the Hands Up Crown Song.

109

Praise the King.

110

Praise Jesus.

111

Praise at the bow down.

112

I don't know.

113

Praise the bird or the bird king.

114

Praise.

115

Praise the bird king.

116

I hope that's not on there otherwise.

117

Hey man, I like Chris though.

118

I'm telling you, I'm gonna

listen to the whole album and I'm

119

pretty sure he's got a several.

120

Songs that we will endure for at

least in the next five or 10 years.

121

He threw an oldie on there.

122

Amazing Love.

123

Did you see that's on there?

124

Oh, I didn't.

125

Yeah, I just, oh yeah.

126

You are my king.

127

Amazing.

128

Oh, that one for sure is gonna last.

129

Yeah.

130

That one is, I am, I'm thankful for

the opportunity to bring it back.

131

Yep.

132

Because there's a lot of songs that

we used to sing back in the old

133

day that I'm like they're old now

and I don't know if anybody wants

134

to listen to these or sing these.

135

But every now and then I

just, I long for those things.

136

Yeah.

137

No, for sure.

138

They, yeah, it brought back memories.

139

He's 53 by the way.

140

That's not too bad.

141

No, he's still really young.

142

Actually young now I think about it.

143

He's incredibly young.

144

He's just hitting his stride.

145

He's easily got 20 more years in him.

146

Minimum.

147

Yeah, minimum.

148

Yeah.

149

So he's got a new album out.

150

So I have this thing called Music Harbor.

151

Okay.

152

It's an app that tracks song releases,

and I know you could go to Spotify

153

and it usually highlights people

for you, but I just like to track

154

and see what people are putting out.

155

And so he's on one of them.

156

Skillet has a new live album

out, if you like, skillet.

157

I've only really gotten a skillet in

the last, like three or four years.

158

Yeah.

159

And I love them, man.

160

They're so much fun.

161

They're heavy.

162

They're not doing anything that

we could do during a Sunday

163

morning, but they're fun.

164

They have a female drummer Yes, they do.

165

Who sometimes leads songs Yes.

166

From the drums vocally, Jen Ledger.

167

Yeah.

168

That's crazy.

169

She's pretty great.

170

Yeah.

171

She, yeah.

172

She has her own band where she,

I think she frontlines it, I

173

think it's called Ledger now.

174

They say that she's pretty talented, man.

175

There's some really talented people

in the world, and the more I see

176

those people, the less talented

and skilled that I think I am.

177

Wow.

178

Yeah, it's probably pretty accurate.

179

Phil Wickham has a new speaking of talent.

180

He has a new album out, dude.

181

Yeah.

182

I'll just let that go.

183

You don't like Phil?

184

I he's drifting.

185

You think so?

186

I think he's drifting in theologically

or musically this and the other.

187

He's never been super discerning on who

he's partners with out there in music.

188

Okay.

189

And I find that he's partnering

more and more with people that I'm

190

more and more uncomfortable with.

191

So like Billy Graham?

192

Yes.

193

Song number 12.

194

Yes, absolutely.

195

Billy Graham.

196

A hundred percent.

197

That song features Billy Graham.

198

Yeah, that's what it says here, but

there's no featuring on any of this

199

song except for that one, at least

looking at this app that I'm looking at.

200

Yeah, I dunno.

201

He's doing that Rich Mullen

song, our God Isn't Awesome.

202

Got yeah, that was great.

203

That's a great song.

204

That's super good.

205

I have that one.

206

He's got an acoustic version of that,

which is super, super catchy too.

207

Oh, cool.

208

So cool.

209

I don't know, we'll see I'm

looking forward to listening

210

through that whole album as well.

211

So maybe I'll do Chris Alman first

and then I'll do Phil Wickham and

212

then, 'cause I also like songs

that are not explicitly worship.

213

I might throw in the 21 Pilots new album

in there just to listen to that as well.

214

There it is.

215

Yeah.

216

Third day, just recently did a modern

rendition of Lord of All Creation.

217

No way.

218

Yeah.

219

Third day.

220

Still doing music, apparently.

221

I did not even know that.

222

Yeah.

223

Mack Powell's voice is unmistakable.

224

Anytime you hear it, it's

oh, yeah, there's that guy.

225

Yeah.

226

Yeah.

227

Him and the lead singer of casting crowns.

228

Yeah.

229

Or hall.

230

Yes.

231

Yeah.

232

Casting crowns.

233

I miss them.

234

They're, I liked them a lot more than

third day, no offense to third day.

235

I liked them as well.

236

Yeah.

237

But casting crowns, I feel like

everything they did was a bop.

238

Loved it.

239

It's such a cool story too.

240

He was a youth pastor and stayed a

youth pastor even when they were,

241

headlining their own shows and stuff.

242

He was like, this is my job.

243

My job is to be a youth pastor.

244

My job is, that's really

cool, to be this guy.

245

So he kept preaching to the students

and they would schedule their tours so

246

that he would be back at church for.

247

Church on the weekends every Sunday.

248

Yeah.

249

Wow.

250

Yeah, they really did.

251

There's a documentary that's amazing.

252

I can't remember if Netflix had

it somewhere, had a documentary

253

on casted crowns recently.

254

That's cool.

255

And he took it seriously and still

does to from what I understand.

256

Wow.

257

Good for him.

258

I never thought that he

felt like a youth pastor.

259

I don't know what that what to

say about that other than I always

260

heard it as something my dad would.

261

Yeah.

262

If my dad went to church, but it was one

of those kinds of, it was dad's band.

263

Yeah.

264

I still liked him though.

265

They had really great lyrics.

266

Yep.

267

Stephen Curtis Chapman too.

268

He's still out there.

269

He's on tour right now.

270

Is he doing new music or

is he doing all the oldies?

271

I coming here, he's doing his

old, his speechless tours.

272

It's from his album.

273

Speechless.

274

Yeah.

275

So when you got all those bops, man,

you don't need to do new stuff, dude.

276

People just wanna hear your old stuff.

277

He has.

278

Had a hundred chart toppers, I think.

279

And wow.

280

A couple years ago he was putting

out, he was revisiting all of them

281

on Instagram and talking about the

stories behind the songs and stuff.

282

That's really cool.

283

Yeah.

284

That's fun.

285

And it's fun for the people that

heard the songs as part of the, like

286

their childhood, their youth, and

then getting to hear it later on.

287

In fact, I'm finding that a

lot of artists that we grew up

288

with are now touring for us.

289

Yeah.

290

And they're like, Hey.

291

Come in, come buy our merch

and listen to our band.

292

And it's I gotta admit, I always

think twice can I do this?

293

Is this, I wanna go see them.

294

Where's it, where are they playing?

295

Oh, Fort Worth or American Airlines.

296

I always do a double take to see

whether or not I can go see these bands.

297

'cause I grew up with them.

298

Yeah, we were talking the

other day in the office.

299

Modern music.

300

Like I have zero clue what's

on the radio right now.

301

'cause we nobody listens to the radio.

302

That's part of it.

303

Yeah.

304

And unless you're streaming

them, which I'm not going out

305

there listening to no, what's the

latest, best, pop music out there.

306

So I'm pretty much just living back in

the early two thousands, late nineties and

307

hanging out there with most of my stuff.

308

Yeah.

309

I gotta wonder what it's gonna

be like for our children.

310

What's it gonna, I, there are songs that

formed us and shaped us because they were.

311

Everywhere.

312

Yeah, were ubiquitous on the radio

and then everyone had a cd and

313

so when you'd go to a trip on the

student ministry bus, they put the

314

CD player on with the same songs.

315

It's not that anymore.

316

I'm sure there's a shared catalog.

317

I just am less clear how that happens.

318

I know that you choose stuff on Spotify,

so like Fort Frank, he'll be part of

319

a lot of our young people's story.

320

Yeah.

321

His songs, they're uplifting, they're fun,

and partly because they're choosing that.

322

But how does someone else break into that?

323

I think in the world, a lot of

it, like TikTok videos will make

324

a song popular because a bunch

of people will use that song.

325

Social media, something will take off a

reel or something will take off on with

326

that song in the background, and then it

becomes that's the cool song or whatever.

327

You're right.

328

I think TikTok does play a role.

329

Social media as a whole plays a big role.

330

Yeah.

331

Which is why it's such a mixed bag.

332

There are good things that

it brings to the table.

333

There's also a lot of bad.

334

Yeah, there is.

335

Yeah.

336

Let's jump into our DBR for today.

337

We are in Nehemiah eight through

10, so there's nine minutes on that.

338

We, and we thought we had nothing.

339

Oh, yeah.

340

We always have something.

341

Let's just roll Nehemiah eight through 10.

342

We've got as we're reading the law.

343

With the people here in chapter

eight, and now this is a sign of

344

revival because he's gonna do this.

345

He's gonna read for a long time.

346

But this is a sign that the people are

serious about what he's doing here.

347

And so as he stands up and reads the

law, and notice he does so on a platform.

348

He stands on a stage.

349

That's one of the reasons why

we preach from a stage, is it's

350

modeled for us in scripture.

351

And it's a way not to honor the man, but

to honor the word, to honor that which is.

352

Being proclaimed.

353

And you'll see here that those that

gathered to hear in verse three were

354

those who were the men, the women,

and those who could understand.

355

So there was probably those that were of

an age that they were able to comprehend.

356

What Ezra was reading there.

357

So I don't know if they had kids, men,

and somebody was taking care of those that

358

were too young to understand at the time.

359

But they brought their children even

there, that were capable of following

360

along with what Ezra was gonna be doing.

361

And they all gather together

here in Chapter eight, four,

362

the hearing of the war.

363

And again, they're gonna honor it.

364

He opened the Bible before the

people, and the people stood, he

365

opened the word, not the Bible

necessarily, but the word of God.

366

He opened the Torah, the

scroll, and the people stand.

367

To listen to him reading it,

and they're gonna answer Amen.

368

Amen.

369

Which is agreeing.

370

We say it at the end of our prayers,

but it's basically saying, yes, let

371

this be and they lift up their heads,

they bow their heads and they worship

372

before the Lord in response to the

reading of the word after this.

373

It's interesting 'cause in verse

eight they begin to explain it.

374

So here we see an evidence even of I

think, preaching taking place here.

375

Yep.

376

So this is a full blown revival

and the people respond in a

377

way that is going to honor God.

378

This is God's words effective

here in chapter eight.

379

I'm curious this morning, are you gonna

have people stand during the whole sermon?

380

The whole sermon, yes.

381

Because it seems like

that's what they do here.

382

Yeah.

383

From midday until, or from early

morning until midday, they, I think

384

they're standing like six hours.

385

I, yeah.

386

Yeah.

387

I think they're standing the whole time.

388

Dude, my legs hurt after standing for

just 20 minutes during the worship set.

389

Yeah, I don't know man.

390

I don't think we can do this.

391

I don't think they had

folding chairs either.

392

Oh, I don't think they had

chairs that they brought out.

393

Not even folding Camel.

394

No, no Chairs nol.

395

So it was probably either they're standing

up or they're sitting on the ground.

396

Oh, mercy.

397

And my guess is some of the older

folks that were there probably

398

took a seat at some point.

399

So I would think so.

400

Yeah.

401

But then again, man, maybe they

were made of different stuff.

402

It could been, I'm not saying

our generations are soft, but.

403

We're not the same as earlier generations.

404

That's fair.

405

I don't think that's fair.

406

That's fair.

407

And initially the people

are shattered by this.

408

They are, they're pretty wrecked over the

realization of how sinful they'd been.

409

And yet Nehemiah or Ezra rather,

gives them an interesting charge.

410

He says, don't be so distraught over this.

411

Don't turn this into a day of

mourning, but of rejoicing.

412

It says that the joy of

the Lord is your strength.

413

And so it's.

414

As though Ezra is cast in the vision and

he's gonna do this then in into chapter

415

nine of saying the opportunity here

is the opportunity for us to repent.

416

And the opportunity here is one

of joy because you do feel the

417

conviction and because God is being

kind to allow us by his mercy.

418

To hear from his word and to make

the corrections we need to make.

419

And so he says to the people, and that's

that statement that we quote so often,

420

the joy of the Lord is your strength.

421

That's in the context of them

being wrecked over their sin.

422

And he's saying there's

a way forward here.

423

And the way forward is

not just to be woe is me.

424

We're undone Isaiah six before

the atonement situation.

425

The way forward is to say, okay,

let's do what God wants us to

426

do, and that is, let's obey him.

427

Let's repent and we can do that.

428

Because of the word of God,

because of his mercy towards us.

429

And that's where we get into chapter nine.

430

And here's another Chapter nine you

mentioned what was the end moniker.

431

END nine.

432

END nine.

433

Yeah.

434

So end nine.

435

Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel chapter nine,

each have a song or Psalm of repentance.

436

Yeah.

437

And this one's similar to Daniel's because

this is corporate again, this is the.

438

Prayer of repentance or the

song of repentance or a prayer.

439

Yeah.

440

Yeah.

441

And they are confessing

their sins corporately here.

442

And it's interesting because he the

one speaking here, Ezra goes through

443

and gives a bit of a history lesson.

444

He goes through creation in chapter

six to Abraham in or in verse

445

six to Abraham in verse seven,

down to the Exodus in verse nine.

446

You've got the wa wilderness

wanderings in verse 12.

447

You've got the law

being given in verse 14.

448

You've got, yeah, the golden

calf incident in verse 18.

449

You've got the conquest of

the promised land in verse 23.

450

You've got the judges in verse

27, and then indications and

451

implications of the kings as well.

452

And just tracing back how Israel had

been so sinful all the way through

453

Chapter nine is what he is doing here.

454

And then he says in verse 33, yet you

have been righteous in your wrath.

455

In all that has come upon us, you've dealt

faithfully and we have acted wickedly.

456

So in the confession.

457

They're, he's not saying,

God, you're unjust.

458

He's going through the history and

reminding the people corporately

459

saying, we have done wrong.

460

And then he gets to the end of chapter

nine, he says, and or not quite the end of

461

chapter nine, but towards the end of his

prayer, he says, you've done right by us.

462

Lord, you have acted righteously in your

wrath that you've poured out on us because

463

of our wickedness and our sinfulness.

464

Yeah, take note about how this happens

sometimes, and I think it's fine that

465

our prayers for confession and repentance

are generally more brief than some

466

of the, Lord, please bless my spouse

or do this good thing for my kids.

467

That's fine.

468

I understand the impetus for

most of us to naturally gravitate

469

toward this supplication part.

470

But notice that how long this chapter

is, he's traversed a lot of territory to.

471

Specify and to highlight the

areas where their unfaithfulness

472

has been most evidence.

473

So maybe when you're praying

and you're confessing your sins

474

to God, it is appropriate and

good to identify those things.

475

See, Lord, here's how I've failed you.

476

Here are the ways where

I have fallen short.

477

That's a good thing.

478

The goal is not shame because

there is no shame in Christ.

479

There is no condemnation

for those in Christ Jesus.

480

Romans eight, one.

481

But the goal is to.

482

Identify to the Lord.

483

Yes, Lord.

484

I see.

485

I see that this is a problem

and I'm gonna deal with this.

486

I'm gonna want to turn away from it.

487

I'm gonna confess it, and now I'm gonna

live differently as a result of it.

488

So take Ezra excuse me, take Nehemiah

chapter nine and let this be a good

489

template for your prayers when you

come to the Lord to next repent.

490

Chapter 10 then opens with a list of those

who end up signing the covenant who end

491

up being those that, that resolve together

to say, yes, this is what we're gonna do.

492

We're gonna move forward

in obedience to the Lord.

493

And so their names are recorded here

for us in Nehemiah 10, one through 27.

494

But then when we get into the last

part of chapter 10 we get into

495

some of the descriptions of what.

496

This covenant is gonna involve, and I

like the way that he breaks it down.

497

I think in summary, at least in verse

29, he, it says there to join with their

498

brothers and their nobles enter into a

curse and an oath to, and here it is to

499

walk in God's law that was given by Moses,

the servant of God, to observe and do.

500

All the commandments of the Lord are

God and his rules and his statutes, so

501

to walk, observe, and do that they're

gonna make this a pattern of their life.

502

They're going to constantly be

aware of and go back to the word

503

of God, and they're gonna obey

the word of God as they do that.

504

And so that's the summary of

what they were committing to do.

505

Okay, Lord, we're gonna.

506

We're gonna have our care, our

way of life, our walk, our whole

507

manner of life is gonna be marked

by obedience because we are going

508

to be constantly aware of your word.

509

We're gonna observe it

and we're gonna do it.

510

And that's good for us today too,

to say we wanna do that as well.

511

We wanna walk after the law of the Lord.

512

Of course, as believers, we're not

under the Old Testament law, but under

513

the law of Christ, under the law of.

514

Of the New Testament concept of walking

in obedience and faithfulness to the

515

Lord through our relationship with Jesus.

516

Still we want to walk

after him in that regard.

517

We want to observe the commandments

both old and new, and we want to do

518

the ones that he's calling us to obey.

519

Amen to that.

520

I love the fact that every

real revival and I think.

521

Jonathan Edwards said something similar.

522

I know he said it.

523

I'm sure he did.

524

But you here see it in Nehemiah chapter

10, that every true work of God, where

525

there are some, there's a question about

whether or not God's acting in revival.

526

We asked about that when it

came to the Asbury Revival.

527

Was it called the Asbury?

528

It was the Asbury.

529

We asked it about the Lakeland

Revival back in Florida when

530

Todd Bentley was at the helm.

531

We asked about revival.

532

A lot of times, even now, people

are saying, Hey, there's a revival

533

happening in America because of

what happened with Charlie Kirk.

534

There's a religious response.

535

And maybe that's true.

536

Really time will tell.

537

We don't know in the moment.

538

We're just trying to walk

carefully and be clear.

539

But one of the clear marks

of God's reviving work is a

540

renewed commitment to here.

541

You see it?

542

The word of God, there's a

commitment to know what his word

543

says and to do what it says.

544

And that's really a simple

and helpful concept.

545

And you start asking questions

about, is God working here?

546

Is God doing something?

547

I see people raising their hands.

548

I see strong emotions.

549

I see crying and perhaps people just

doing things that are outside of the norm.

550

One of the ways that you can tell.

551

If it's a true work of God is if

there's a hunger for his word and a

552

genuine desire to do what his word

says, that's a really good sign.

553

Now that by itself is

not an infallible sign.

554

I think there's sometimes where it

can be confusing if there's attending

555

circumstances, but that said.

556

By and large, all things being equal.

557

If there's a care for the word

of God and there's a desire to do

558

what the word says to focus on King

Jesus again, he's the centerpiece.

559

That's a really good sign.

560

And then you see it here

at Nehemiah chapter 10.

561

That's a good sign.

562

But also, verse 32, now I'll

just quickly mention this.

563

It says that they also take on

themselves the obligation to give

564

yearly a third part of the shekel.

565

And so they're committing to

support the temple, to support

566

the people of the temple.

567

And I think if you could draw parallel

and I'll hold this one more lightly.

568

'cause this is not.

569

A necessary point A to point B situation.

570

But I think there's a genuineness to be

generous with God's people, to be generous

571

to the church and to see the church do

what God has called the church to do.

572

A love for the word of God, desire to

do it, and a generosity to God's church.

573

I think those are two really helpful

marks of when God is working.

574

Hmm.

575

Let's be, let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode

576

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

577

By the way, y'all, we only have

two more days in the Old Testament.

578

I noticed that man I've been in the New

Testament and I'm like, this is amazing.

579

Yeah.

580

It feels so different.

581

You need, I need more New Testament.

582

Probably most of you guys do too.

583

Yeah.

584

You should spend more

time in the New Testament.

585

So we're going to in fact

the rest of the year.

586

Alright.

587

In the New Testament.

588

God, we thank you for your

word and we thank you for just

589

the model that we see here.

590

The response to the reading of your

word and to being confronted with the

591

truth of your word from Ezra and from

the congregation there as they respond

592

in repentance and chapter nine and the

Prayer of Repentance and then chapter

593

10 as well, and just the commitment to.

594

Even as, yeah, as Pastor Rod was

just saying there we desire to have

595

evidence of revival in our nation that

is marked by a caring concern for your

596

word and a softness towards your word.

597

And that would transform people's lives

and that we would be able to look at

598

the evidence of the spirit's work and

be able to attribute it to nothing

599

else other than your spirit at work.

600

And God, we pray for

more revival like that.

601

We pray that would be indicative

of our church, that you would use

602

the word of God to bring about

change in the lives of those that.

603

Are a part of our body that,

that you would start with us.

604

That as leaders, we would

be constantly growing.

605

And that also as our church, we would be

constantly seeing people come to faith,

606

seeing people strengthened in their faith,

seeing marriages strengthened, seeing

607

children brought up in the discipline

instruction of the Lord, seeing students

608

confronted with the truth of your

word through student ministry as well.

609

God, use your word in a powerful way

to shape us, to be more like Jesus.

610

We pray this in His name.

611

Amen.

612

Amen.

613

Keep in your bibles.
