    Ep. 357: The Primary Element of Proper Worship
    Jan 11 2026
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 357, “The Primary Element of Proper Worship,” Kim discusses the story in 2 Kings 17 where a priest was brought back to Samaria from captivity to teach the new residents how to worship the Lord. Yet, either he left out the part that they had to worship the Lord only, OR the people thought they could continue their cafeteria approach to worship and just add the worship of this god to their menu. Big mistake! Let’s see how this turns out and how we can apply this to our own lives. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:16-41, with 37-41 as the focal verses: 37 Be careful at all times to obey the decrees, regulations, instructions, and commands that he wrote for you. You must not worship other gods. 38 Do not forget the covenant I made with you, and do not worship other gods. 39 You must worship only the Lord your God. He is the one who will rescue you from all your enemies.” 40 But the people would not listen and continued to follow their former practices. 41 So while these new residents worshiped the Lord, they also worshiped their idols. And to this day their descendants do the same. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: If the Lord were to grade your worship focus, what grade would you receive and why? Additional Resources and Scriptures: 3 “You must not have any other god but me. 4 “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. 5 You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods.

  • Ep. 356: Becoming Whom You Worship

    Ep. 356: Becoming Whom You Worship
    Jan 4 2026
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 356, “Becoming Whom You Worship,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing wisely what or whom we devote our reverence, focus, and energy. In today’s passage, we see that the idolatrous Israelites' worship of worthless idols led to them becoming like what they worshipped. Yet, just as worshipping an unworthy object can turn us into what we worship, we can also become more like Christ when we choose to bow down and worship Him. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:5-15, with 15 as the focal verse: 15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord’s command not to imitate them. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: If you become whom you worship, who will you be? Would you be proud to be that person? Additional Resources and Scriptures: "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration.” (G. K. Beale)4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. 5 They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. 6 They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell. 7 They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. 8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. (Ps. 115:4-8)16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

    Ep. 355: We're Not Graded on a Curve
    Dec 28 2025
    SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 355, “We’re Not Graded on a Curve,” Kim discusses the dangers of Christ-followers comparing their walk to others. In today’s text, we see the story of someone who did evil, but his evil was not as bad as others. May we get our eyes on Christ, the only example we should be chasing, and get off the comparison wheel. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:1-4, with 2 as the focal verse: 2 He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, but not to the same extent as the kings of Israel who ruled before him. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Spend a few prayerful minutes reading Matthew 5-7. Additional Resources and Scriptures: 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
