The Bible in a Year

What does it mean to be a watchman? That's the question at the heart of this episode, as Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence open Ezekiel 3–9 — where God commissions the prophet as a watchman on the wall, commands him to lie on his side for over a year as a living symbol of Jerusalem's siege, and unleashes a series of devastating visions that trace Israel's rebellion all the way back to Eden. The hosts draw a sweeping & convicting line from the Garden to the exile, reminding listeners that Israel's tragedy was never a surprise — it was the culmination of a long, grace-filled warning that was repeatedly met with rebellion, and that God's justice, when it finally comes, is always restorative at its core. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks personal accountability — one of Ezekiel's defining themes — declaring that the exile is not just punishment but an extended invitation: 70 years for a people to stop, think, and find their way back to the God who never stopped loving them. Throughout this episode, Ezekiel himself emerges as a champion of the faith — a man who lived so surrendered to God that even his suffering became a sermon.

Three books in one episode — that's the ambitious scope of this installment, as Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring Jeremiah to its sobering close, walk through the entire Book of Lamentations, and crack open the wild & visionary account of Ezekiel. Jeremiah's final oracles against Edom, Arabia, Elam, and Babylon give way to Lamentations' gut-wrenching cry — "how the gold has lost its luster" — before closing on the quiet but powerful plea of Lamentations 5:21: "restore us to yourself, Lord." The episode then steps into Ezekiel, where the prophet — exiled to Babylon — falls face down before a breathtaking vision of God's throne surrounded by fire, living creatures, and wheels within wheels, and hears a single command that frames everything that follows: "Son of man, stand up on your feet — I have something to say to you." If you've ever wondered what it means to consume the Word of God until it becomes part of you, this is the episode that will show you exactly what that looks like.

For today's installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through Jeremiah 41–48, covering the aftermath of Jerusalem's fall, a deeply encouraging word to Baruch in chapter 45, and God's sweeping oracles of judgment against Egypt, the Philistines, and Moab. One of this episode's standout moments comes as Pastor Kevin unpacks Jeremiah 45 — God's personal & tender word to Jeremiah's exhausted scribe, Baruch — reminding listeners that God sees the faithful servant who has been beaten down, and that His promise to spare Baruch's life is a timeless word for anyone who is tired but has stayed the course. The hosts draw a powerful & thought-provoking theological insight from the oracles against the nations: God's judgment against Egypt, Moab, and the Philistines is not because they are the "bad guys" — it is because all people everywhere are called to come to Him, surrender their sin, and stand in the truth that is embodied in Jesus Christ alone. This episode closes on the breathtaking reminder that 'God so loved the world' — not just Israel — and that the Babylonian exile itself became a vehicle for the Gospel reaching the Magi hundreds of years later.

For this episode, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through one of the darkest and most historically significant stretches of the Book of Jeremiah — chapters 34 through 40 — tracing the final days of Jerusalem under King Zedekiah, Jeremiah's harrowing imprisonment in a muddy cistern, and the devastating fulfillment of everything the weeping prophet had warned Jerusalem about as Nebuchadnezzar burns the temple and the city to the ground. The hosts draw a deeply moving lesson from the compassionate act of Ebed-Melech the Kushite — who not only pulled Jeremiah from the cistern but padded the ropes with old rags so the prophet's skin wouldn't be cut — reminding listeners that how we help someone reveals the true condition of our heart, and that kindness in the details is the mark of a genuinely Christlike character. A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at the fall of Jerusalem in chapter 39 — where Nebuchadnezzar blinds Zedekiah after forcing him to watch the slaughter of his family, fulfilling Jeremiah's prophecy to the letter — a sobering reminder that the word of God never fails, even when it is the hardest word to hear. This installment closes on a simple and powerful pastoral charge: obey God, trust Him, love Him, serve Him — and everything is going to work out in His timing.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through one of the most pivotal stretches of the Book of Jeremiah — chapters 23 through 33 — opening with God's thunderous woe against the false shepherds and His promise of a righteous branch from David's line, and arriving at one of the most beloved and hope-filled passages in all of Scripture: Jeremiah 33:3 — "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things." The hosts unpack the stunning new covenant passage of Jeremiah 31 — where God promises to write His law on the hearts of His people — tracing it directly to Jesus lifting the cup in the upper room and into the Book of Hebrews, reminding listeners that everything Jeremiah suffered and proclaimed was pointing toward the moment when the Son of God would fulfill every word. A standout moment comes as the hosts reflect on Jeremiah's purchase of a field while Jerusalem is being besieged by Nebuchadnezzar — a prophetic act of faith that declares, even in the darkest hour, that God will restore His people to the land. Today's episode closes on the golden thread that runs through the entire book: always find the restoration — because even in the harshest judgment, God's everlasting covenant of love never fails.

In today's installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence continue their journey through the Book of Jeremiah, covering chapters 15–22 and tracing the deepening personal suffering of the weeping prophet alongside God's escalating warnings to the kings and people of Judah — from Jeremiah's raw lament that he wishes he had never been born, to the sobering decree that Jerusalem will be handed over to Nebuchadnezzar and burned to the ground. The hosts draw a powerful & deeply pastoral insight from Jeremiah's emotional transparency and remind listeners that honest, faith-filled emotion is not weakness or whining, but a powerful tool that allows others to draw strength from our struggle while knowing it is faith, not feeling, that ultimately drives us. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin traces the concentric circles of Jeremiah's prophetic message in chapters 21–22 — God addressing the people of Jerusalem, the royal house of Judah, and the king himself — drawing out the exhaustive and relentless nature of God's call to return before the final verdict falls. This episode closes on the simplest and most powerful application of the entire book: listen to the Lord — because Israel's entire tragedy can be traced back to one repeated failure to do exactly that.

Today, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence continue their journey through the Book of Jeremiah; covering chapters 8 through 14 and tracing the devastating cycle of Israel's unfaithfulness, God's repeated calls to return, and the heartbreaking verdict of exile that can no longer be delayed. The hosts unpack the powerful lesson of the linen belt in chapter 13 — where God instructs Jeremiah to bury a belt until it is ruined and completely useless — drawing a striking parallel to what Israel has become through its stubborn refusal to listen, and reminding listeners that God uses the most tangible, everyday illustrations to communicate the most urgent spiritual truths. A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at Jeremiah 12's complaint — "why do the wicked prosper?" — and Pastor Kevin offers a deeply pastoral and encouraging reframe of God's response, suggesting that God is not scolding Jeremiah but rather telling him that the hardest road is still ahead, and that He is going to make Jeremiah ready for it. Today's episode closes on a word of breathtaking grace: even in the midst of judgment, God promises restoration — "after I uproot them, I will again have compassion."

In this episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Book of Isaiah to a triumphant and sobering close and step into the Book of Jeremiah — one of the most emotionally raw and prophetically-urgent books in all of Scripture. They open with God's call of Jeremiah before he was even formed in the womb and then move through the devastating indictment of a people who have exchanged the living God for broken cisterns. The hosts also draw a powerful and strikingly relevant connection between Jeremiah's temple sermon in chapter 7 and Jesus' cleansing of the temple — reminding listeners that God is not your rabbit's foot, and that trusting in a building, a tradition, or a religious system rather than in the living God is the very thing that brought Jerusalem to ruin. A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at Jeremiah 6:16 — "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your soul" — a passage Rev. Spence identifies as one of the most positive and practically powerful verses in all of Jeremiah. This episode is a timely and urgent word for the church today: reform your ways, return to the ancient paths, and never mistake the building for the presence of the God who dwells within it.

Today, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive into Isaiah 55-62 — opening with God's great invitation in Isaiah 55: "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters," and moving through passages on true fasting, the arm of the Lord, and the breathtaking proclamation of Isaiah 61 that Jesus Himself read aloud in the synagogue at Nazareth. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin shares a deeply personal story about officiating the funeral of a childhood friend in his mid-20s — a season of grief and anger that led him directly to Isaiah 55:6-13, the passage that has anchored his understanding of grief ever since, reminding him that God's ways are higher than our ways and that one day every thorn bush will give way to something new & beautiful. The hosts unpack Isaiah 60's glorious declaration — "Arise, shine, for your light has come" — and close on Isaiah 62's call to never be silent, giving God no rest until He establishes His kingdom and makes it the praise of all the earth. Throughout it all, this episode is a warm, deeply personal, and theologically rich reminder that Isaiah is not just ancient prophecy — it is the living Word of God speaking directly into every season of life.

For this installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive into one of the most theologically-breathtaking stretches of the entire Bible — Isaiah 48–54 — covering the stubbornness of Israel, the heart of the Servant Songs, and arriving at the pinnacle of Old Testament prophecy in Isaiah 53: Jesus - the suffering servant who bore our iniquities, was pierced for our transgressions, and by whose wounds we are healed. The hosts explore the profound connection between the Servant Songs and the Gospel of Mark, unpacking the idea that the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve — and tracing every verse of Isaiah 53 directly to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ with a depth and precision that leaves no room for doubt. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin shares a deeply personal reflection on Isaiah 54:17 — "no weapon formed against you shall prosper" — connecting it to his own ministry in dangerous & violent situations, and reminding listeners that the Prince of Peace is always the foundation that holds. Today's episode closes on the breathtaking covenant promise of Isaiah 54: though the mountains be shaken and the hills removed, God's unfailing love and covenant of peace will never be shaken.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive into one of the most expansive and theologically-rich stretches of Isaiah — opening with Hezekiah's remarkable prayer in the face of Sennacherib's Assyrian threat, moving through the breathtaking Servant Songs, and arriving at God's stunning declaration that He is doing a new thing, making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. The hosts unpack the deeply Messianic servant passages of Isaiah 40–44, wrestling with the beautiful & intentional tension between Israel as God's servant and the coming Messiah as the ultimate fulfillment — a tension that points unmistakably toward Jesus Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts. A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at Isaiah 43's declaration — "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake" — a passage the hosts identify as one of the most stunning statements of grace and divine initiative in all of Scripture. The episode closes on God's judgment against Babylon in chapters 46–47, reminding listeners that kingdoms rise and fall, but the Word & purpose of the Lord stand forever.

In this episode, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through Isaiah 29–36, unpacking one of the most spiritually-searching and prophetically-rich stretches of the book — from God's sobering indictment of empty, lip-service worship in Isaiah 29:13, to the breathtaking promise of Isaiah 35 that the eyes of the blind will be opened and the deaf will hear — fulfilled only in the ministry of Jesus Christ. The hosts draw a powerful distinction between restorative and retributive justice, reminding listeners that while God's heart is always toward restoration, there is a final and coming judgment that the church must not shy away from preaching — and that standing with the immovable God is always the only foundation that holds. A standout moment comes as the episode closes on Isaiah 36 and the historical account of Sennacherib's threat against Jerusalem under King Hezekiah, bridging the gap between prophecy and historical narrative in a way that brings the entire book into sharp relief. Throughout it all, the hosts deliver a clear & urgent word: God wants our heart, fully surrendered to Him — not just the words of our mouths — and the only question that matters is whether you will stand with the immovable God or be swept away with the temporal nature of this world.

For this installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence continue their journey through the Book of Isaiah, covering chapters 22–28 and unpacking God's sweeping oracles of judgment against Jerusalem, Tyre, and the surrounding nations — while pausing on breathtaking passages of praise in chapters 25 & 26 and a stunning promise of Israel's deliverance in chapter 27. The hosts draw a powerful, recurring theme from these chapters: when a people forget God and begin to look like the nations around them, destruction follows — but when a heart remains steadfast in trust, Isaiah 26:3 becomes a living reality: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." A standout moment comes as the episode arrives at Isaiah 28:16 — where God declares He is laying a cornerstone in Zion, a tested and precious stone — and the hosts trace this passage directly to Jesus Christ, noting that no other Old Testament book contains more prophecy pointing to the Messiah than the Book of Isaiah.

Today in 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through Isaiah 11–21, opening with one of the most recognizable Messianic passages in all of Scripture — Isaiah 11's vision of the shoot from the stump of Jesse, upon whom the Spirit of the Lord rests in wisdom, counsel, power, and knowledge — before sweeping through Isaiah's thunderous oracles of judgment against the surrounding nations including Babylon, Moab, Damascus, Kush, Egypt, and Philistia. The hosts draw a powerful and sobering lesson from the pattern of these nations: when a people forget God, when they begin looking more like the world around them than like the God they serve, everything begins to dry up — their wisdom, their commerce, their unity, and their strength. A standout moment comes as the episode closes on Isaiah 21's image of the watchman on the tower — prompting the hosts to reflect on how God has called His people to stand on the watchtower in a difficult and tumultuous time, helping others understand His Word. Throughout it all, the message is clear: God Almighty is in charge of every nation and every king, and the earth will one day be filled with the knowledge of the Lord.

For today's installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive deep into Isaiah 4–10, a prophetically-rich stretch of Scripture — from the breathtaking Song of the Vineyard in Isaiah 5, where God mourns the bad fruit of His beloved people, to the thunderous call of Isaiah in chapter 6, and climaxing in one of the most celebrated Messianic passages in the entire Bible: Isaiah 9:6 — "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." The hosts trace the sobering pattern of God using Assyria and Babylon as instruments of judgment against Israel while simultaneously showcasing the promise of grace to the remnant — reminding listeners that God never fully destroys His people, and that His covenant with Abraham still holds even in the darkest seasons of Israel's rebellion. A standout moment comes as the episode walks through Isaiah 8's warning against consulting mediums and spirits, pivoting into the sudden burst of Messianic light in chapter 9. Throughout it all, the hosts deliver a timeless message: God is always in charge and the Holy One of Israel is forever faithful.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Song of Solomon to a beautiful close and step into one of the most beloved & theologically-profound books in all of Scripture — the Book of Isaiah — opening with God's stunning invitation in Isaiah 1:18. The hosts unpack Israel's pattern of compromised worship — a watered-down religious practice that brought in the culture of the surrounding nations rather than reflecting the glory of God — and examine the powerful truth that God's response to rebellion is never mere retribution, but always an offer of restoration and grace. A standout moment comes as the episode closes on Isaiah 2's vision of the Mountain of the Lord in the last days — where all nations stream to God's temple and swords are beaten into plowshares — reminding listeners that the ultimate destination of history is not Armageddon, but the eternal peace of the King of Kings. Throughout it all, the hosts deliver a timeless & urgent charge: stop trusting in mere humans, stay closely connected to the Father, and don't get caught up in the things of this world.

For this episode, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring Ecclesiastes to a close and step into one of the most unique & often misunderstood books in all of Scripture — the Song of Solomon. The hosts wrap up Ecclesiastes with standout passages on guarding your words before God, the vanity of wealth and the importance of enjoying the life God has given you, before examining the sobering conclusion that the whole duty of man is to fear God & keep His commandments. The episode transitions beautifully into Song of Solomon 1–3, where Pastor Kevin and Rev. Spence unpack the true meaning of holy & biblical intimacy — exploring how the book speaks to the covenant love between husband & wife, the redemptive power of God to draw us out of shame, and the importance of pursuing the other in a relationship rather than asking what's in it for ourselves. Throughout it all, this episode is a warm & honest reminder that God created marriage, God created intimacy, and His design for both is far more beautiful than the world has led us to believe.

In today's installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence celebrate the 400th episode of 'The Bible in a Year' by closing out the Book of Proverbs and stepping into one of the most unique & challenging books in all of Scripture — Ecclesiastes — where Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, wrestles honestly with the vanity of a life lived apart from God. The hosts unpack the closing chapters of Proverbs with standout passages on pride, fear of man, and God's sovereignty over justice before diving into Ecclesiastes. For this episode, Pastor Kevin shares his long-standing frustration with Solomon's drift — connecting it powerfully to the Psalms of lament and reminding listeners that even inspired Scripture can capture the raw & honest cries of a heart that has wandered. A standout moment comes as Rev. Spence shares how Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 — "for everything there is a season" — has been a passage he reads at nearly every funeral, recounting the deeply personal moment he turned to those words when his own father passed away. Throughout it all, the episode is a rich & deeply human reminder that two are better than one, that eternity is written on every human heart, and that when Jesus is placed at the center of every relationship and season of life, nothing can be broken — because He holds all things together.

For today's episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence journey through Proverbs 21–28, exploring one of the most practically rich and contrast-filled stretches in all of Scripture. The hosts draw out a wealth of timeless wisdom; including Proverbs 27:17's truth that iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 27:1's sobering reminder that we do not know what a day may bring, and Proverbs 28:2's declaration that a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order — connecting it powerfully to Pastor Kevin's sermon on Holy Theocracy and the question of who truly sits on the throne of your life. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin shares a deeply personal story about an older couple who spoke a word of encouragement at a moment of near-defeat in the early days of Kingdom — illustrating beautifully the truth that God often uses the wisdom of elders to steady the hearts of the young. Throughout it all, the episode is a warm and practically-grounded reminder that planning, perseverance, faithful work, and iron-sharpening relationships are the building blocks of a life well-lived in the wisdom of God.

Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive into Proverbs 10–20, one of the most contrast-rich sections of all of Scripture — where Solomon relentlessly sets the way of the righteous against the way of the wicked, the wisdom of the wise against the folly of fools, and the blessing of the Lord against the dread of the wicked. The hosts highlight a rich collection of standout passages, including Proverbs 10:22's declaration that the blessing of the Lord brings wealth without painful toil, Proverbs 18:16's truth that a gift opens doors into the presence of the great, and Proverbs 20:24's humbling reminder that a man's steps are ordered by the Lord. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin draws a powerful connection between Proverbs 20:29 — that the glory of young men is their strength and gray hair the splendor of the old — and the generational partnership at Kingdom: a Community Church, where the energy of the young and the wisdom of the seasoned work together for the glory of God. Throughout it all, the episode is a rich and practically-applied journey through the timeless contrasts of Proverbs, reminding listeners that every area of life — speech, work, relationships, finances, and character — is touched by the wisdom of God.

For this episode, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence dive deep into Proverbs 3–9, anchoring the episode in one of the most beloved and well-known passages in all of Scripture — Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." The hosts unpack the powerful personification of wisdom as a precious bride throughout these chapters, contrasting her with folly's portrayal as the adulterous woman, and drawing a profound connection to Adam & Eve's choice to abandon the tree of life. A standout moment comes as the hosts discuss Proverbs 4:23's call to guard your heart with all vigilance, and close the episode with a powerful charge from Proverbs 9:10 — that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that true wisdom requires complete fidelity & submission to Christ, like a marriage covenant. Throughout it all, the episode reminds listeners that wisdom is not abstract knowledge, but a relationship of trust, surrender, and reverence before a holy God.

In today's installment, Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence bring the Book of Psalms to a triumphant close with the final Hallelujah Psalms — Psalms 145–150 — and step into one of the most practically powerful books in all of Scripture, the Book of Proverbs, authored largely by Solomon. The hosts unpack the foundational truth of Proverbs 1:7 — "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" — drawing out a rich & deeply theological explanation of what it truly means to fear God, connecting humanity's sinfulness, God's holiness, and the bridge built by Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. A standout moment comes as Pastor Kevin introduces one of the most striking themes in all of Proverbs: the contrast between Wisdom as the pure bride calling us to life, and Foolishness as the adulterous woman seducing us toward death — a contrast that Rev. Dr. Spence connects to the incarnate wisdom of Jesus Christ Himself.

For today's episode of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence take a look at Judah's rebellion from God, as the people continue to worship idols under the leadership of wicked kings. However, the two also contrast this with Judah's return to the Lord under the leadership of kings like Hezekiah, who called the nation back to wholehearted worship to the one, true & living God. What's more, Pastor Kevin & Rev. Spence teach us in this installment about how these powerful chapters call each of us to return to God when the world seems to be falling apart around you.

For today's 45th episode of season two of 'The Bible in a Year,' Pastor Kevin Cain & Rev. Dr. David Spence discuss the rise & fall of Judah's kings after Solomon - from Rehoboam's swift departure from God, to the faithful reforms of Asa and Jehoshaphat, to the wickedness of Jehoram and Ahaziah. In this installment, Pastor Kevin & Rev. Spence show us how the only consistency party in Israel's covenant relationship is God. Finally, the two continue to point out that, despite the chaos found in this portion of the scripture, why it is so important to have our eyes fixed on God.
