How do you handle the giants in your life? The Israelites cowered before Goliath, overwhelmed by his size and strength. But young David saw things differently—he trusted in God rather than his own abilities. In this episode, discover the key lessons from this unforgettable battle.

The Fall of King Saul (1 Samuel 13 - 15) 12:24

לפני 6 ימים12:24

12:24

How does a leader go from being chosen by God to being rejected by Him? King Saul’s story is a cautionary tale of pride, impatience, and partial obedience. In this episode, explore the defining moments that led to Saul’s downfall, from offering an unauthorized sacrifice to sparing the Amalekite king despite God’s clear command. Saul’s failure wasn’t just about his actions—it was about his heart. Instead of trusting and obeying God fully, he made excuses, blamed others, and tried to look spiritual while disobeying. Samuel’s confrontation with Saul is a powerful reminder that obedience matters more than outward displays of religion. If you’ve ever been tempted to take shortcuts in your faith or rationalize disobedience, this episode will challenge you to examine your heart. Learn why God desires full surrender and how true obedience leads to His greatest blessings.…

The Wrong Choice for the Wrong Reason (1 Samuel 9 - 12) 13:29

לפני 7 ימים13:29

13:29

Have you ever made a decision based on appearances rather than wisdom? Israel did when they demanded a king like the other nations. Instead of trusting God, they insisted on human leadership, and their choice of Saul seemed ideal—tall, handsome, and influential. But what looked good on the outside didn’t guarantee godly leadership. This episode explores Saul’s early promise, his humility, and his eventual failures. It also examines Samuel’s final address to Israel—a powerful reminder that true leadership depends on obedience to God. As Samuel warns, even with a king, Israel’s real responsibility remains the same: follow the Lord wholeheartedly. If you’ve ever made a choice you later regretted, this episode will help you understand how to seek God’s best instead of settling for what seems right in the moment. Learn why prayer, obedience, and trust in God’s leadership matter more than outward appearances.…

Verbs of Action and Repentance (1 Samuel 7:3 - 8:22) 11:53

לפני 8 ימים11:53

11:53

What does true repentance require? In 1 Samuel, the Israelites want victory over their enemies, but Samuel tells them they must first return to the Lord. He outlines four essential steps—return, remove, direct, and serve. When Israel finally obeys, God grants them a miraculous victory. This episode unpacks these action verbs of revival, showing how repentance is more than just regret. You’ll also see a sobering lesson in parenting as Samuel’s sons reject his example, leading Israel to demand a king. Their desire for human leadership reveals a deeper issue—the rejection of God’s rule. If you’ve ever felt distant from God or struggled with spiritual drift, this episode will help you realign your heart. Learn how obedience and trust, not religious rituals, bring true renewal. You’ll also see how history points to the ultimate King—Jesus Christ. Make a donation: https://www.wisdomonline.org/give…

Treating God Like a Lucky Charm (1 Samuel 4:1 - 7:2) 13:18

לפני 9 ימים13:18

13:18

Do you treat God like a lucky charm, expecting blessings without obedience? In 1 Samuel, Israel tries to manipulate God by carrying the ark into battle. Instead of victory, they face devastating defeat. The Philistines, thinking they’ve conquered Israel’s God, take the ark—but soon face their own judgment. Statues topple, plagues spread, and fear grips their cities. This episode uncovers the real lesson: God’s power isn’t something you can control. You’ll learn why faith isn’t about superstition or religious rituals. God calls you to obedience, not manipulation. Whether through Israel’s misguided trust in the ark or the Philistines’ mistaken triumph, this passage reveals the danger of empty religion and the necessity of true worship. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting God’s plan rather than your own strategies, this episode will challenge you. It’s time to stop bargaining with God and start walking in obedience.

What does the book of Ruth teach about God’s plan for redemption? The story of Ruth and Boaz isn’t just a historical romance—it’s a powerful illustration of Christ’s love for His bride, the church. In this episode, discover how Boaz fulfilled the role of kinsman-redeemer, paying the price to restore Ruth’s family and future.

How does a simple exchange of a sandal point to God’s eternal plan? In Ruth 4 , Boaz redeems Ruth, securing her future with an act of sacrificial love.

The tension builds as Boaz presents the situation at the city gate, where business and legal matters are settled. In this episode, discover why Boaz’s decision wasn’t just about romance—it was a picture of redemption. His willingness to marry Ruth mirrors the love of Jesus Christ, our ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer, who takes in broken sinners and makes them His own. And don’t miss the incredible connection between Ruth and Boaz’s own family tree. Why was Boaz uniquely prepared to love and redeem a Gentile bride? The answer will deepen your understanding of God’s grace. Join this episode to uncover a powerful love story—one that points to the greatest love story ever told.

What would drive a woman to propose marriage at midnight? Ruth 3 is not your typical love story—it’s a moment of risk, faith, and divine orchestration. Naomi advises Ruth to approach Boaz privately, asking him to redeem her according to Jewish law. But this wasn’t just about marriage; it was about salvation. In this episode, discover how Ruth’s bold move and Boaz’s honorable response reflect a deeper reality—God’s work of redemption in Christ. Boaz follows God’s law, refusing to cut corners or rush ahead of His plan. Instead, he honors the process, demonstrating the kind of integrity that every believer should emulate.

Jesus is our Kinsman-Redeemer, the one who does all the work to secure our salvation.

No Such Thing as Chance (Ruth 2) 11:32

לפני 16 ימים11:32

Is life a series of coincidences, or is there a greater plan at work? In Ruth 2 , we see how God orchestrates events behind the scenes, even when life seems uncertain. Ruth, a destitute widow, makes what appears to be a simple decision—to glean in a field to gather food. But in God’s providence, she "just so happens" to choose the field of Boaz, the one man who can redeem her future. This episode explores how God's unseen hand works through everyday decisions, shaping lives and fulfilling His purposes. Boaz, a godly man, notices Ruth’s faithfulness, offers protection, and extends kindness beyond expectation. While Ruth gleans barley, she is also reaping the unseen blessings of God’s plan. Have you ever wondered if God is guiding your steps, even when life seems random?

Darkness (Judges 19 - 21) 11:31

לפני 21 ימים11:31

11:31

What happens when a society rejects God’s truth? Judges 19–21 provides one of the darkest and most disturbing accounts in all of Scripture. Violence, corruption, and moral failure dominate Israel because everyone does what is right in their own eyes. They justify evil, defend wickedness, and make decisions without ever seeking God’s wisdom. This episode explores what happens when people abandon God’s authority. The results are tragic— immorality, violence, and devastating consequences. Instead of repentance, Israel tries to fix sin with more sin, leading to greater destruction. This final section of Judges is a sobering warning about what happens when people determine morality for themselves instead of following God’s design. But is there any hope? What can you learn from Israel’s failure? This lesson will challenge you to consider where you turn for truth and why following God’s Word is the only path to peace and satisfaction. If you’ve ever questioned why the world feels broken, this episode will give you a clear, biblical answer. Support Us: https://www.wisdomonline.org/give…

Homemade Gods (Judges 17 - 18) 13:20

13:20

What happens when people reject God’s authority? Judges 17–18 reveals a shocking truth: they don’t stop worshiping—they just make their own gods. Micah, an Israelite, created his own version of religion with idols, personal priests, and rituals that looked spiritual but had nothing to do with God. False religion is always appealing because it’s convenient and comfortable. It offers the appearance of faith without the commitment of obedience. The Israelites thought they could worship their way, on their terms, but their homemade gods led them further from the truth. This episode exposes the four key traits of false religion and why they are just as common today. Many people seek religious experiences without surrendering to God’s authority. They want spiritual guidance, but not from the true and living God. Are you following God's Word, or are you shaping faith to fit your preferences? Learn how to recognize the difference between true worship and empty rituals. Be challenged to stand firm in biblical truth, rather than cultural trends. If you want to worship God the right way, this lesson will help you stay on course.…

O Be Careful Little Eyes (Judges 15 - 16) 11:35

Where are your eyes leading you? Samson’s life is a warning about the danger of following unchecked desires. He was set apart for God’s service, blessed with supernatural strength, yet his downfall began with what he chose to see. He pursued what looked good, even when it was outside of God’s will. Judges 15–16 reveals how small compromises lead to major failures. Samson ignored wise counsel, sought relationships that dishonored God, and assumed his strength would always remain. But when he revealed his secret to Delilah, his physical blindness became a tragic reflection of his spiritual blindness. The man who once tore down city gates was now led away in chains. Yet even in Samson’s darkest moment, God’s grace was still available. His final prayer shows true repentance and renewed dependence on God. His story is a reminder that no failure is beyond redemption. This episode challenges you to evaluate what you are pursuing.

The Man Who Had it Made (Judges 13 - 14) 13:32

Does having great potential guarantee a great life? Samson’s story proves otherwise. He had godly parents, divine calling, and supernatural strength— yet he made foolish choices that led to disaster. Judges 13–14 introduces Samson as a Nazirite, set apart for God’s purposes. His birth was miraculous, and his parents raised him to follow God. But instead of pursuing his divine mission, Samson chased after his own desires. He ignored wisdom, pursued ungodly relationships, and let his emotions control his decisions. This episode explores how talent without character leads to failure. Samson had everything needed for success, but his lack of discipline and disregard for God’s commands led to heartbreak and chaos. His life is a warning for anyone who assumes that gifts, background, or opportunities will guarantee a strong future. What about you? Are you making choices that align with God’s will, or are you following your impulses?

Have you ever tried to negotiate with God? Judges 11 tells the tragic story of Jephthah, a judge who tried to manipulate God’s promise. He vowed to offer a sacrifice in exchange for victory— but God had already guaranteed success. Jephthah’s rash vow is a warning to those who struggle to trust God’s Word. Do you believe God will keep His promises without a bargain? Many believers fall into the trap of thinking good works, religious rituals, or sacrifices will secure God’s favor. But Jephthah’s story proves that trusting God means following Him without conditions. This episode will challenge you to examine your faith and ask, “Am I obeying God, or am I trying to control Him?” Learn why God doesn’t need deals, fleeces, or negotiations—He simply calls you to trust Him. If you’ve ever doubted whether God will come through for you, this study will encourage you to stop testing God and start trusting Him. His Word is enough, and His promises never fail.…

Does your past define your future? Judges 10 and 11 reveal a powerful truth: God’s grace isn’t limited by your background, failures, or reputation. Jephthah was rejected by his family, abandoned by his people, and forced to live among criminals. But when Israel needed a leader, God chose him. This episode explores Jephthah’s unlikely rise to leadership and what it teaches you about God’s redemptive power. Maybe you feel disqualified because of past mistakes or rejection. Maybe you’ve believed the lie that God can’t use someone like you. But Jephthah’s story proves that no one is beyond God’s reach. When Israel was desperate, they sought the very man they once rejected. And Jephthah, rather than holding onto bitterness, stepped forward in faith. His willingness to forgive and trust God changed history. What can his story teach you about moving beyond past wounds? How can you embrace God’s grace instead of letting shame hold you back?

Failure in the Final Lap (Judges 8:22 - 9:57) 13:02

13:02

Why do some believers finish well while others drift into failure? Gideon’s life offers a powerful warning. He started with great faith, trusted God for victory, and rejected Israel’s offer to make him king. But his later years tell a different story. He set up his own religious system, abandoned God’s instructions, and lived like a Canaanite king. He had many wives and even named his son “Abimelech,” meaning “my father is king.” His choices led to idolatry, corruption, and eventually, the slaughter of his own sons. His story reminds us that a strong past does not guarantee a faithful future. This episode challenges you to evaluate your walk with God today. Are you still running the race with faithfulness? Or have you started making small compromises that will lead to future failure? Don’t let pride, greed, or moral compromise pull you away from obedience. Gideon’s life is a reminder that finishing well matters more than starting strong. If you want to leave a lasting legacy of faithfulness, this lesson will show you how to stay on course.…

No Room for Heroes (Judges 7:1 - 8:21) 12:26

Does God need powerful people to accomplish great things? Judges 7 shows that He often removes human strength so faith can grow. Gideon started with 32,000 soldiers, but God reduced his army to just 300. Against 135,000 Midianites, this was an impossible battle—until God stepped in. This episode explores why God makes His people weak before granting victory. When pride takes over, people take credit for what only God can do. That’s exactly what happened after Gideon’s victory. The powerful tribe of Ephraim, angry at being left out, caused division instead of celebrating God’s deliverance. Pride and ego still threaten God’s people today. How do you respond when someone else gets recognition? Do you insist on being seen, or do you quietly serve? Disunity weakens the church, just as it did Israel. Gideon’s story challenges you to check your own heart. Are you trusting God, or are you relying on yourself? Are you building unity, or are you creating division? Learn how to recognize these dangers and respond with humility. God doesn’t need heroes—He needs servants who trust Him.…

Putting Away the Fleece (Judges 6) 11:53

לפני 5 weeks11:53

How do you know if you’re making the right decision? Many people ask for a sign, just like Gideon did. But Judges 6 reveals why testing God isn’t real faith. Gideon was called to deliver Israel, but he doubted. He laid out a fleece, twice, to confirm what God had already promised. Today, many believers do the same—setting up conditions instead of trusting God’s Word. But Gideon’s story teaches that seeking signs doesn’t strengthen faith—it distracts from it. God had already told Gideon He would lead him to victory, but Gideon kept hesitating. This episode challenges you to stop waiting for external confirmation and start trusting God completely. You don’t need a fleece to know God’s will—you need wisdom, prayer, and faith in His promises. If you’ve ever struggled with decision-making or wondered if God was leading you, this message will help you move forward with confidence. Don’t rely on signs—rely on Scripture. Don’t test God—trust Him. Let Gideon’s lesson encourage you to walk by faith, not by sight.…

Does God only use the powerful, the strong, and the well-trained? Judges 4 and 5 reveal that He often works through the least expected people. Israel was suffering under the oppression of King Jabin and his general, Sisera. With their iron chariots, Sisera’s army seemed unstoppable. But God raised up an unlikely leader— Deborah, a prophetess and housewife—who stepped forward in faith. Even more surprising is Jael, another housewife, who delivers the final victory in the most unexpected way. Neither of these women were warriors, yet they trusted God and acted courageously. Their story proves that when you make yourself available, God can use you no matter your background or qualifications. But not everyone was willing. Some tribes refused to join the battle, choosing comfort over obedience. Their hesitation led to spiritual decline. This episode challenges you to examine your own faith. Are you stepping up when God calls, or are you sitting back? No one is too ordinary for God’s purposes. Whether you’re in the workplace, at home, or serving in ministry, God can use you to make a lasting impact. Be encouraged by Deborah and Jael’s boldness and trust in the God who leads to victory.…

Do you ever feel too weak, unqualified, or ordinary for God’s work? The book of Judges proves that God delights in using the least likely people to accomplish His greatest plans. This episode explores three unexpected leaders: Othniel, a man from a strong family but still dependent on God; Ehud, a left-handed warrior who overcame his physical limitations; and Shamgar, a foreign-born farmer who became a mighty deliverer. None of them had the perfect résumé for leadership, yet God empowered them to rescue Israel. Their stories reveal a powerful truth— God doesn’t need your strength; He desires your trust. What about you? Are you letting doubt keep you from serving God? Are you convinced you don’t have the right background, skills, or connections? This episode will challenge you to see that your limitations don’t disqualify you—they make you the perfect candidate for God’s power.

What happens when one generation fails to pass down its faith? Judges tells the story of Israel’s slow spiritual decline, where partial obedience leads to total rebellion. Instead of driving out their enemies, Israel allows them to stay. Instead of worshiping God, they embrace the idolatry of Baal. Within just one generation, they forget the Lord entirely. The result is heartbreaking—compromise, suffering, and repeated cycles of defeat. This episode explores how Israel lost its way and why it’s still relevant today. The same dangers exist for families now. If parents assume their children will follow God without being taught why, faith will fade. Culture will gladly step in to fill the void. How can you ensure the next generation stands firm in their faith? What does it take to actively pass on truth? Discover the importance of teaching, modeling, and reinforcing faith in daily life.

Have you ever misjudged someone before knowing all the facts? In Joshua 22, Israel is on the brink of civil war—all because of a misunderstanding. When the eastern tribes build an altar, the rest of Israel assumes the worst, leading to an intense confrontation.
