(1 Kings 15: 1-24)Episode Notes:If the Bible teaches anything, it teaches this: God judges people. That’s not a popular idea today, but it is a biblical one.  But if that is so, then what standard does God use when He judges? What does that look like on a human level? Suppose God chose a person—a human being, not Himself, not His Son—and said: “This is the standard, this is the life by which I will measure others.” In the first 24 verses of 1 Kings 15, God does this. He points to a human being and says, “This is My standard”, and then He measures two kings by that standard. Let’s look at the passage today….. Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

The cities in Charles Dickens' novel were London and Paris. I’d like to borrow that title—but with a slight twist, because today’s passage could easily be called: "A Tale of Two Kings". Because in 1 Kings 14, we meet the first two rulers of the newly divided kingdom of Israel—one in the north, one in the south. And their stories are not just historical curiosities. They are warnings. They are lessons in leadership, obedience, and consequences. Their story is one we need to know so that we don’t repeat their mistakes….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(1 Kings 13: 1-34)Today, we step into one of the strangest, most dramatic, and most sobering chapters in the entire book of 1 Kings. And if you’ve been following the story with us, you know exactly why this chapter matters. Rehoboam has made foolish decisions.  Jeroboam has made even worse ones. The kingdom is divided, the people are confused, and false worship is spreading like wildfire. So, what does God do when His people drift into deception? Well, 1 Kings 13 gives us the answer, and it begins with a scene that feels almost cinematic. The Setting: A False Altar, a False Religion, and a False Sense of Security....Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(1 Kings 12: 1-33)Apparently, there’s some value in studying wrong decisions—because Scripture gives us some spectacular examples. And today we come to one of the clearest, almost classic cases in the entire Bible. So, our topic today is simple: How to make wrong decisions, but of course, before we’re done, I’ll give you three words that will tell you how to make right decisions. But first, we need to watch a man make a disastrous one.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(1 Kings 11: 1-43)It is one thing to have knowledge, but it's another thing entirely to have wisdom.  I think we should all work at gaining wisdom, but obtaining wisdom isn't the be-all and end-all by itself. The extent of your wisdom is not the issue; it's what you do with the wisdom that counts. And that's what I want to discuss today. I’ve titled today's message "How to Be Stupid" because this chapter is a great illustration of that, if that is your aim in life….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailIf you want to increase your level of knowledge, there are plenty of things you can do. You can read a book, you can study, or you can listen to podcasts and watch videos. There are endless ways to gather information these days. But wisdom is different.  Wisdom is not the same as knowledge. So how do you gain wisdom? There are many answers to that question, but tucked away in 1 Kings 10 is a simple, practical, often‑overlooked key to becoming wise. It’s not complicated. It’s not mystical, and it’s not reserved for scholars..... And it’s something everyone of us can do.In 1 Kings 10, the Queen of Sheba travels across the world to meet Solomon—and in the process, teaches us something profound about how to grow in wisdom….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailIt really does appear that God exceptionally blesses some people. When you look through Scripture, you see it again and again. But perhaps no one illustrates this more vividly than Solomon. His life is marked by extraordinary blessings—wisdom, wealth, influence, peace, and the privilege of building the temple itself.So, the question naturally arises: Why did God bless Solomon, and what did God say to Solomon that might reveal why He chooses to bless anyone? Furthermore do we have to do what Solomon did, and if we did, would we receive the same kind of blessing? These are the questions at the heart of 1 Kings 9.... So let's explore why God blesses some people—and what that blessing looks like for us today….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThree thousand years ago, a very wise man prayed a prayer. Not just any prayer—the longest recorded prayer in the entire Bible. And we still have it. Preserved word-for-word and spoken by a man that scripture says was the wisest on earth. Solomon also prayed this prayer on one of the most significant days in Israel’s history: the dedication of the temple. And because of when he prayed it and why he prayed it, and what he prayed, this chapter is by nature one of the richest lessons in the bible on how to talk to the Lord…Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailWhat Does It Really Mean to Honour God? If I asked that question to a congregation on a Sunday morning, I suspect the answers would come quickly—and the list would be long. Some would say we can do that with worship. Others would say prayer. Some might mention giving, serving, witnessing, or obedience.... And all of those are good and biblical answers. But Solomon honoured the Lord in a way that you and I will very probably never be called to do. And yet, what he did—and how he did it—can help us think more deeply about what it truly means to honour God in our own lives…..Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThere are seasons in life when we become so busy—even with good things—that we can stop listening. Modern life makes it easy. Work piles up. Responsibilities multiply. The to‑do list is growing faster than we can cross things off. And before we realise it, the noise of life has drowned out the voice of the Lord.And—perhaps most surprisingly—it can happen in ministry as well. You can become so involved in the work of the Lord that you forget the Lord of the work. You can be doing the right thing, for the right reasons, and still lose sight of the One you’re doing it for. There is a moment in the Old Testament that captures this perfectly. A moment when God interrupts His own building project to remind His people what matters most. And it happens in 1 Kings chapter 6….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.
