Israel has a past, and a future, because God is faithful to His Word! Thanks for joining us today for Hope From The Word with Bill Luebkemann. God is not only faithful but also gracious, as we'll see on today's broadcast. Israel's kings and their people continually fell into sin, yet God continued to bear with them because of the covenant that He made with them. God is gracious and faithful to His promises; again, just look at Israel. That's where we begin today's teaching. From Second Kings chapter thirteen and verse twenty-three, here's Pastor Bill.

God is always working in the world. Sometimes it's in direct response to your prayers. Even if it's not because of your prayers, its because there's something good and glorious God is doing. It ought to inspire us to be looking and be attentive. But as we'll hear on today's Hope From The Word that doesn't always happen. We're presently studying the Old Testament book of Second Kings with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. And we've come to the reign of king Jehoahaz, which was the beginning of the fulfillment of a promise made to Jehu. God promised him that his descendants would sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation. Let's get the details now from chapter thirteen. Here's Pastor Bill...

There is a tendency for some to be influenced and to be a follower rather than a leader. It's especially true in these days of social media where we have access to so many opinions. That's ok if you're following the Lord and His Word, but if not, you're vulnerable to being led astray. So, it's vital to have and be the right kind of influence. We'll look into this today on Hope From The Word with Bill Luebkemann.

Welcome to Hope From The Word coming to you from Calvary Chapel of Marlton with our pastor and teacher Bill Luebkemann. We are thankful for this time that we can have together with you to study God's word. Pastor Bill is heading into Second Kings eleven today. When we left you last time you might remember Jehu had been called by God to wipe out the lineage of Ahab in fulfillment of prophecy. He and his wife Jezebel were as wicked as wicked could get. And because of their refusal to repent, met their demise. Well Jehu did what he was told to do, and then some.

When we left you last time you might remember that King Joram, Jezebel's son was killed and today we see what is going to happen to Jezebel and Ahaziah the King of Judah. It's an example of the severity of God's judgement against sin. Here's Pastor Bill to bring us up to speed.

Hebrews 10 says, "It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Queen Jezebel is about to experience the full weight of that. This is Hope From The Word a ministry of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. You might recall, Jezebel was responsible for introducing Baal worship in Israel. But that doesn't tell the whole story. In short, she was one of the most wicked Queens in all of Israel's history. Just as the Prophets foretold, she would be brought down in a gruesome way. Pastor Bill Luebkemann will tell the story of God's poetic and perfect justice today from Second Kings nine.

A quote from one of Jane Austen's books is, “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Today on Hope From The Word, Pastor Bill Luebkemann is teaching from Second Kings about a king who made a very poor choice of a wife. He did not seek God's wisdom on whom he should marry but rather he chose the daughter of one of the worst queens in Israel's history… Jezebel! Here's Pastor Bill with some takeaway lessons from this… To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1698/29?v=20251111

James one says, “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” What are some of the things that keep you from living out God's Word? That's an important question and we'll get answers on today's broadcast! Great to have you along with us for Hope From The Word with Bill Luebkemann. Bill is the pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. In Israel's history when the kingdom was divided, all the kings from the northern kingdom were disobedient to God's clear word. The southern kingdom had some good kings, but many of them allowed the wrong influences to sway them from following the Lord. Here's Pastor Bill in Second Kings chapter eight to encourage us not to fall into that trap. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1698/29?v=20251111

We often place our own human limitations on God. We think to ourselves, “This is really a hard problem I can't see a way out.” But nothing is too hard for God. Or as Jesus said, “with God all things are possible.” Today on Hope From The Word, we hear an example of God working the impossible. We have our plans and they are based on our ability. But God has His own plans on how He will work things out and they're based on His ability. That's where we begin today's Hope From The Word.

There was a time in the history of Israel where God in his mercy intervened in a supernatural way bringing about a great deliverance to the people. Can God still work that way today? I think today's Hope From The Word will encourage us as God is able to save. This is the radio outreach of Calvary Chapel of Marlton with Pastor Bill Luebkemann.

Calvary Chapel of Marlton presents Hope From The Word, with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. We're glad you're with us today as we continue our verse-by-verse study through the book of Second Kings. We're about halfway through our look at chapter six. As we so often mention here on Hope From The Word, faith is a vital component in our relationship with God. In fact, grace through faith is what saves us; faith in Jesus Christ and His atoning death on the cross. Here in Second Kings six, we see a great example of faith in action, in the life of Elisha.

Today our teacher, Pastor Bill Luebkemann, will bring us part one of a study in Second Kings chapter six. In recent years we have seen many a motion picture come out with the title “Blockbuster” attached to it. Well, if you tried to make a movie out of what we see occurring in this section of God's Word, it would definitely be called a “blockbuster”. Wars, cannibalism, a miracle here and there; it's all here!

Welcome once again to Hope From the Word, with Pastor Bill Luebkemann, from Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Today we're continuing to look at the book of Second Kings. It contains accounts of men and women who followed the will of God, and those who didn't. The consequences of disobedience were disastrous, and the same is true for us today! If you've been with us for the entire study through First and Second Kings, you've heard the accounts of some very brave men and women, and some other accounts of not so savory behavior. The topic today is greed. It's yet another human attribute that does nothing to benefit our relationship with God.

Some would object to the sovereignty of God, denying that the Lord is ultimately in charge. Well, to those who do so, consider the alternative. It's not very hopeful, is it? Sometimes though we don't fully understand what God is up to! We know He is good and ultimately will accomplish His righteous and loving purposes. Today on Hope From the Word, we will be reminded that despite the human leaders we have, ‘God is over all'. It's a comforting thought!

Greetings! On behalf of Calvary Chapel of Marlton, welcome to today's broadcast! It's great to have you with us as we continue to make our way through First Kings. Oftentimes, God uses difficulties to get our attention and turn to Him. But, no matter how many times God throws a trial in their way, some people still refuse to heed His voice. Why is that? On today's edition of Hope From The Word, we'll look to chapter fourteen, to see if we can answer that. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann to get us started with verse fourteen of chapter fourteen.

So, let's suppose God told you to pack your bags, get on a plane and become a missionary in a foreign land. Or, He tells you to bring a word of correction to someone you're pretty sure won't take it well. What do you do? Will you be faithful to complete your God-given task? Today on Hope from the Word, a Prophet comes onto the scene as we continue through First Kings. God had given him an important task, but like many of us, he failed to follow through.

One baseball player set the disappointing major league record for strikeouts with 1,316. The same player set a record for five consecutive strikeouts in a World Series game. The holder of both records is the great slugger, Babe Ruth. Hello and welcome to Hope from the Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann of Calvary Chapel of Marlton.

Is it possible to have the right motives, but the wrong actions? Yes, certainly. And it's possible to have the wrong motives, but still end up with the right actions. Let's see if one of these scenarios applies to Solomon on today's Hope From The Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. This is the radio outreach of Calvary Chapel of Marlton.

It's time once again for Hope From The Word and it's our prayer that you do indeed find hope in God's Word each time we study together. Pastor Bill Luebkemann is leading us through First Kings right now. We'll be looking at chapter nine today. This portion of Scripture is portraying Solomon's life. When you consider his father, the godly King David, some would say Solomon had a lot to live up to. By God's grace, Solomon is about to make a very good and wise decision. The Lord is going to bless him abundantly for making the right choice. Let's see how he inclines his ears and his heart to the Lord's will for his life.

Giving God our best! That's what Solomon did in the building of the temple. We'll learn all about it today on Hope from the Word with Bill Luebkemann, pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. We are in the historical book of First Kings that recounts among other things the immense cost, effort, and planning involved in building the temple.

Or do we listen to the wisdom of those with life experience? Pastor Bill begins today's teaching with Solomon's son facing this issue and making a bad decision.
