Daily Thunder Podcast

God loves impossibilities. No matter what difficulties you may face, what trials you endure, what temptations that try to distract you—God is able to handle it because He is the “Master of Breakthroughs.” In this message from 2 Samuel 5, Nathan Johnson talks about the crowning of David as king over Israel and the resulting battle with the Philistines. Though an incredible picture from the Old Testament, this story is a shadow of our spiritual reality in the New Covenant.

This is the twenty-first and final episode in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series drawing on the legendary life of Alfred the Great. In this particular episode he explores the idea of “the æstel” — a kingly gift given to Alfred’s men in order to help them better read and understand the text of the Bible. Alfred himself proved to be an æstel to his nation, to the world, and even to the generations that followed him. Alfred was a great king, but that is due to the fact that he lived with the sole purpose of bringing glory to the Greatest King — Jesus Christ. 

As Paul comes to a conclusion, he gives a final benediction and blessing for those who live and think according to His exhortation of Philippians 4:4-9. This blessing is nothing less than God’s promise to be with us. In this final message on the Christian mindset, Nathan Johnson expounds on Paul’s statement that “the God of peace will be with you” and gives three incredible realities of what it means for our lives practically.
