𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡 𝗡𝗢𝗪! 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗽. 𝟭𝟵𝟯 - "𝗔 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁" In this episode, we delve into Joseph Byamukama's thought-provoking article, "Pilgrim Politics," from the Gospel Coalition. Byamukama explores how Christians should navigate the political landscape, emphasizing the distinction between "pilgrims" and "earth-dwellers." We begin with Byamukama's powerful assertion that politics, like gravity, can divide even the closest relationships and diminish the significance of our shared faith in Christ. He calls Christians to engage in politics as pilgrims, journeying through life with a heavenly perspective. We discuss the comparison between pilgrims and earth-dwellers, where pilgrims are described as nomads who resist the pull to settle permanently, instead living as citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20-21). Earth-dwellers, in contrast, focus on temporal things and mock those whose hopes transcend the transient. Byamukama warns that those who live for politics are consumed by it, as this life is all they have, leading them to worship earthly politics and power. The conversation shifts to how Christians should engage in politics with discernment, recognizing the limits of earthly power and the human heart's corruptibility. We also discuss the importance of not worshiping politics and how political disappointments or victories reveal our true allegiances. Byamukama advises Christians to engage prophetically, holding leaders accountable while infusing transcendence into politics. We explore the role of Christians as witnesses to God's impending judgment, emphasizing the need to warn earth-dwellers of the coming woes, regardless of their political affiliations. Byamukama urges Christians to prioritize their unity in Christ over political commitments, reminding us that our ultimate allegiance lies with God's family and vision for the world. Join us for an insightful discussion on how to navigate the political sphere as Christian pilgrims, staying true to our heavenly citizenship while engaging thoughtfully and prophetically in earthly matters. . . . #theriotpodcast #riotpodcast #ChristianPolitics #PilgrimPolitics #JosephByamukama #GospelCoalition #ChristianEngagement #HeavenlyCitizenship #EarthDwellers #PoliticalDiscourse #FaithAndPolitics #ChristianPilgrims #PoliticalDiscernment #WorshipGodNotPolitics #PropheticWitness #GodsJudgment #ChristianUnity #HeavenlyPerspective #PoliticalEngagement #ChristianFaith #BiblicalWisdom #ChristiansInPolitics. . . .

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗽. 𝟭𝟵𝟮 - "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝟮𝟳" Last week, on "Breaking Free from Lying: God's Covenant," we explored how Isaac lied to King Abimelech out of fear, following his father’s example. We delved into the nature of lying and provided valuable advice on breaking free from deceit. Additionally, we examined the significance of God’s covenants. It was a powerful episode, and we highly recommend listening to it if you missed it. This week, we shift our focus to Genesis 27, where Isaac, now old and blind, witnesses his family falling apart. Why is there internal family conflict despite God's blessing on Isaac's life? We will explore how the family substituted scheming for believing. We'll unpack Isaac's role and examine each family member's contributions to the problem or solution. Join us for an insightful discussion and let's start by reading Genesis 27:1-4. #theriotpodcast #riotpodcast #FaithJourney #BibleStudy #Genesis27 #FamilyConflict #GodsCovenant #OvercomingDeceit #BiblicalLessons #FaithAndObedience #SpiritualGrowth #TruthInScripture

𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡 𝗡𝗢𝗪! 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗽. 𝟭𝟵𝟬 - "𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀" In last week's episode, we had a thought-provoking discussion on how Christians should approach their work. If you missed it, make sure to check it out. Two weeks ago, we explored Genesis 24 and the beautiful love story of Isaac and Rebekah. Although you might expect us to cover Chapter 25 this week, we're actually jumping ahead to Genesis 26. In Genesis 25, several significant events take place: Abraham marries Keturah, ensures his children with concubines receive gifts and are sent away, and secures Isaac as the rightful heir. Isaac inherits Abraham's wealth and the covenant blessing from God. The chapter concludes with Abraham's death at 175 and a summary of his genealogy. Now, let's dive into Genesis 26, where we see Isaac repeating a mistake his father made—lying about his wife Rebekah out of fear. We'll read verses 1-11 and discuss the lessons from this chapter. True faith is always tested, either by temptations within or trials around us, as stated in James 1:1-18. God tests us to bring out the best, while Satan tempts us to bring out the worst. Each generation faces similar tests, revealing that human nature doesn't change. Isaac faced a famine and, like his father Abraham, was tempted to leave the land God promised. Instead, God told him to stay, promising blessings and protection. Isaac's journey and struggles remind us that faith involves trusting God's promises, even when tempted to rely on our own solutions. In verses 7-11, we see Isaac lying about Rebekah being his sister, fearing for his life. This act of deception highlights his struggle with faith. Despite this, God blessed Isaac because of His covenant with Abraham, just as He blesses us through Jesus Christ. We'll also explore the concept of the New Covenant, predicted by prophets like Jeremiah and fulfilled by Jesus. This covenant brings forgiveness, a changed heart, and a direct relationship with God. Join us as we unpack Genesis 26 further and discuss how Isaac's experiences and the New Covenant shape our understanding of faith, obedience, and God's unwavering promises.

In our last episode, we explored Genesis 24 and the love story of Rebecca and Isaac, highlighting God's miracles and parallels to His relationship with His Son. If you missed it, be sure to check it out. Today, we return to Genesis, focusing on chapters 1 and 3, to discuss the significance of work and how Christians should approach it. We'll contrast Bob Black’s 1985 essay, "The Abolition of Work," with the Bible's teachings on the value and purpose of work. Work originates from God’s creation. God worked for six days and rested on the seventh, showing that work is inherently good. Genesis 1:31 emphasizes that God viewed His work as "very good," suggesting that productive work is honorable and satisfying. Christians are called to glorify God through their work, reflecting His righteousness and excellence. Despite the Fall introducing toil and struggle, work remains good, and man is called to labor diligently. While work can bring satisfaction, ultimate meaning comes from God. The Bible emphasizes a welfare system based on work and condemns laziness. Paul’s teachings stress the importance of providing for one’s family and contributing to the community. Christians should work heartily as for the Lord, transforming work into an act of worship and gratitude. The Sabbath, instituted by God, highlights the importance of rest and a balanced life. Join us as we delve deeper into these themes, discussing what our work ethic should look like as Christians. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insightful discussions.

In today's world, we are bombarded with sexual imagery everywhere we turn. Sexual immorality isn't just blatant; it's subtle too, lurking in magazines, TV shows, movies, and even in church settings. This overwhelming presence can distract even the most dedicated minds. Often, topics like lust, sex, and pornography are associated mainly with men. However, studies show that sexual temptation and addiction affect women as well. Shockingly, 2 out of 4 women in the church face these struggles, with 90% of women surveyed experiencing daily sexual temptations. Women often find emotional intimacy and sensuality more tempting than physical nudity. Shame and secrecy can compound these struggles, making it hard to seek help. By opening up to counsellors and supportive friends, many have found freedom and healing through honesty and faith. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀: 1. The shame Christians feel regarding sexual sin. 2. The surprising prevalence of sexual struggles among women. 3. Practical steps to find accountability and support. 4. Identifying triggers and learning to walk in the Spirit. Our goal is to help answer two crucial questions: "𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?" and "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴?" We'll explore key areas that contribute to these struggles and provide biblical guidance for overcoming them. Remember, even when we fall, perseverance and faithfulness are key. God is always ready to help us find a way of escape. Dive deep into understanding and overcoming sexual sin in this eye-opening discussion. Let's find freedom together in Christ.

If you missed it, I highly recommend going back for an insightful discussion. Two weeks ago, we explored Genesis 22 in "The Testing of Our Faith," delving into Abraham's trial of faith with Isaac. It was a powerful episode on trusting God through trials. This week, we focus on Genesis 24, the longest chapter in Genesis, telling the story of Isaac and Rebekah's marriage. We'll explore why this chapter, which at first seems about finding a spouse, holds deep theological significance. Join us as we uncover how this story mirrors the relationship between Christ and His church, emphasizing God's plan for His people and the glory it brings to Him.

We'll begin with Genesis 21:1-7, where we see Sarah's journey from childlessness to the joy of Isaac's birth, showcasing God's faithfulness and the fulfilment of His promises. Isaac’s birth, after 25 years of waiting, highlights the importance of patience and faith in God's timing. We discuss how Isaac’s miraculous birth reveals God's power and the significance of faith. The conflict between Ishmael (flesh) and Isaac (spirit) illustrates the ongoing battle between our old and new natures. Isaac’s weaning symbolizes spiritual growth, emphasizing the need for believers to mature in their faith. The freedom Isaac represents contrasts with Ishmael’s bondage, underscoring the liberty we have in Christ. Living under grace, not the law, is essential for embracing God's promises. Despite their departure, God’s provision for Hagar and Ishmael reaffirms His faithfulness. Join us as we unpack these spiritual insights and learn how to navigate our own faith journeys with patience, trust, and a deeper understanding of God's grace. #Podcast #FaithJourney #BibleStudy #Genesis21 #IsaacAndIshmael #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianFaith #GodsPromises #PatienceAndFaith #GodsTiming #SpiritualLessons #GraceOverLaw #FaithAndFamily #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalInsights #TrustInGod #theriotpodcast #riotpodcast Thanks for listening and don't forget to: Subscribe to our newsletter for your FREE T-shirt. https://riotpodcast.co/ Visit our website https://riotpodcast.co/ Follow us on Facebook: / theriotpodcast Follow us on Twitter: / theriot_podcast Follow us on Instagram: / theriotpodcast Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: / @riotpodcast

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖❗ 𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗽. 𝟏𝟕𝟕 "𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲" In today's show the guys talk about “𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲”. This discussion dives into the biblical figure of Melchizedek, who appears suddenly and mysteriously in the book of Genesis. The passage explores Melchizedek’s meeting with Abraham after Abraham’s victory in battle. Melchizedek’s name means “king of righteousness,” and he served as both king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God. The discussion highlights the obscurity surrounding Melchizedek, noting his brief appearance and lack of backstory in Genesis. Abraham’s act of giving Melchizedek a tithe (a tenth of all he had gathered) suggests that Abraham recognized Melchizedek’s superior spiritual rank. The possibility of Melchizedek being a pre-incarnate Jesus Christ, or a Christophany, is explored. The episode in Genesis 14 is compared to Abraham’s later encounter with the Lord (Yahweh) who appeared as a man in Genesis 17-18. The book of Hebrews is cited to discuss the concept of Melchizedek’s priesthood and how it relates to Jesus Christ. The text suggests that Melchizedek’s priesthood is a type of Christ’s priesthood, foreshadowing Jesus’ ministry. The possibility that Melchizedek himself was actually Jesus is also presented. The discussion contrasts the Christian and Mormon views on Melchizedek. In Christianity, Melchizedek is seen as a type of Christ, and his priesthood is understood to be unique to Christ. Mormons, on the other hand, believe that the Melchizedek priesthood is a distinct office that was restored through Joseph Smith and can be held by worthy men in the Mormon Church.

Today on RIOT Podcast Eps 172 How is God our Great Reward Genesis 15:1 show, we talk about how God promised Abram that he is his great reward. 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖❗ 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 How is God our Great Reward Genesis 15:1 discusses the promise given by God to Abraham, which is "I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." The promise was given to Abraham after he led a fierce battle to rescue his nephew Lot and interacted with powerful kings. In Genesis 15:1, the Lord delivers this message of reassurance, promising to protect Abram and bless him even more than he already was. Throughout the Bible, God portrays Himself as a shield of protection for His people. The text mentions verses from Deuteronomy, 2 Samuel, and Psalms where God is referred to as a shield. What’s more, God is our exceedingly great reward. The psalmist declares, “For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.” The term translated as “reward” (śākār in Hebrew) often refers to a worker’s or servant’s wages. Sometimes the word speaks figuratively of a reward for faithfulness or a victor’s recompense. Abram’s reward was different. He had refused any material compensation for his encounters with earthly kings. Abram’s reward was tied to the Lord’s covenant promise, and at the time it was given to Abraham, He had no idea if it was going to come true. The reward was given for the future inheritance of countless descendants and the previously promised land. Does God still give us future rewards? One future reward we get is the promise he gave Abraham “I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward,” said God to Abram, revealing the terms of their covenant relationship. Security, protection, and blessings belonged to Abram because of this relationship. Abram did not need to be shaken or live in fear precisely because He belonged to God. The same can be true for us. In the immediate context of Genesis 15:1, the “exceedingly great reward” refers to the multitude of promised descendants and the land of promise. This “reward” beckoned Abraham and Sarah to live as people of faith and hope. In the same way, faith and hope are key to apprehending our reward—which is God Himself. The Lord called Abram to trust entirely in God for protection and to place his hope in God’s promise of a very great reward. The theme of abundant reward for those with hearts fully committed to God recurs in Jesus’ teaching, particularly in His Sermon on the Mount. Jesus warned His followers not to seek admiration from people as this would forfeit their heavenly reward. The Lord sees the motives of our hearts as we give, pray, and serve Him, and rewards those whose intentions are pure. Even so, it’s vital to understand that our salvation is not an earned reward. Our righteousness, which gives us access to God’s presence, comes through faith in Jesus Christ by His grace alone. Our great heavenly reward is an inheritance “that can never perish, spoil or fade,” bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ. God’s desire and great delight are that His people be satisfied in Him. When our relationship with the Lord is our most treasured pursuit, the ultimate prize is a deeper, fuller, and better knowledge of Him. “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.” That inheritance is “imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.” When God is our exceedingly great reward, we can say, like the psalmist, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Thanks for listening and don't forget to: Subscribe to our newsletter for your FREE T-shirt. https://riotpodcast.co/ Visit our website https://riotpodcast.co/ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRIOTPodcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheRIOT_Podcast Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theriotpodcast/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf4jgyxf4j5Sxgmz84Ukgvg

To open the show we talk about how Taylor Swift has so influenced the Kansas City Chiefs that they are changing their name to Kansas City Swifites. Listen now and find out more. We also talked about exploring Genesis 17, we delved into the significance of names and the divine revelations given to Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac. The name "God Almighty," or "El Shaddai," signifies God's omnipotence and sufficiency to fulfill His promises. Despite Abraham's initial disbelief, God's revelation of this name underscores His ability to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Abraham is called to walk blamelessly before God, signifying a wholehearted devotion and integrity. The renaming of Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah symbolizes a profound transformation and the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations. Through faith, Abraham and Sarah became examples of trust in God's plan, despite their shortcomings. The covenant of circumcision symbolized separation and obedience to God's commands, reflecting a deeper spiritual relationship rather than mere ritual. Sarah's role as a princess and mother of kings highlights the importance of motherhood and the sanctity of life. Despite challenges, God's plan prevailed through Isaac, representing the spiritual birth through the Spirit, while Ishmael symbolized the past and fleshly desires. Surrendering the past to God's plan ensures a future filled with His blessings and joy. Ultimately, Genesis 17 illustrates the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promises and the importance of trusting His plan, even when it seems improbable. Through obedience and faith, Abraham and Sarah became vessels through which God's divine plan unfolded, paving the way for the fulfillment of His covenant through Christ and all believers.

The key theme is discerning between God's perfect will and His permissive will, emphasizing the importance of patience and obedience while waiting for God's promises. The passage illustrates Abraham and Sarah's impatience, with Sarah second-guessing God's plan for her to bear a child. The conflict escalates as Hagar enters the picture, resulting in family strife and a departure from God's perfect will. The discussion draws from biblical verses, such as Hebrews 6:12 and Romans 10:17, emphasizing the significance of faith and patience. Sarah's impatience is seen as a departure from God's glory, and the consequences of relying on worldly wisdom lead to family discord. The need for repentance and submission to God's will is highlighted through the example of Hagar, who, after encountering the Angel of the Lord, returns to Abraham's camp and submits to Sarah. The narrative delves into the prophetic aspect of Ishmael's future, foreshadowing the historical tension between Jews and Arabs. Hagar's wilderness experience teaches her about God's personal nature, emphasizing His care for the oppressed. The topic concludes with the importance of acknowledging mistakes, seeking God's forgiveness, and embracing new beginnings in the Christian journey. Overall, the summary emphasizes the lessons of patience, faith, and submission to God's will in navigating life's challenges.

𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐖❗ 𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝗽. 𝟏𝟔𝟖 " 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐡 " Sarai, known as Sarah in the Bible, emerges as a central figure in the narrative of faith and tradition. Originating from the pagan world of Ur, she embarked on an extraordinary journey with her husband Abram (later known as Abraham) in response to God's call. Despite facing challenges such as barrenness and societal expectations, Sarai displayed resilience and faith. Her story involves a significant transformation, marked by the renaming of both her and Abraham as a symbol of God's covenant. The couple's journey, marked by hardships and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, ultimately led to the fulfilment of God's promise with the birth of their son Isaac. Sarah's laughter, initially one of disbelief, turned into a joyful acknowledgment of God's faithfulness. Despite her humanity and mistakes, notably the attempt to expedite God's promise through her handmaid Hagar, Sarah is later commended in Hebrews 11:11 as an example of faith. Her life is a tapestry woven with themes of faith, identity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit, leaving a legacy that echoes through history. The story of Sarai/Sarah serves as an inspiration, reminding us of the transformative power of faith and the faithfulness of God's promises.
