Send us a textAnd so, friends, what we look at today, in a sense, is the heart of the Christian life. We are called to walk worthy of our calling. To live in a way that reflects the One who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light.Paul says: Don’t walk like the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds. Don’t drift back to what you once were. Instead, put off the old self, be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.That means walking in righteousness — doing what is right because it’s right, because it pleases the Lord. It means walking in love — seeking the highest good of others, speaking the truth in love. And it means walking in wisdom — bringing together righteousness and love in a way that reflects the mind of Christ.And when you live like that, when you walk in that way, it will have an impact. On your family. In your workplace. In your church. Even on the people who happen to be sitting next to you in a waiting room, because light cannot help but shine.So, as you go about your week, remember this simple calling: Walk in righteousness. Walk in love. Walk in wisdom. That’s what it means to walk worthy of your calling in Christ.And may the Lord strengthen you to do just that.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

How to be Honoured by the Lord. (1 Sam 2: 12-36)
Send us a textIn this episode, we continue one of the most tender and powerful moments in Israel’s history — the story of Hannah, her prayer, her obedience, and her son Samuel, who would become a prophet and kingmaker.From Hannah’s barrenness to her blessing, from her vow to her victory, we see the truth that anchors the entire book of 1 Samuel: “Those who honour Me, I will honour.”We’ll reflect on what it means to raise godly children in a godless age, how the influence of a praying parent can shape history, and how faithfulness to God always brings fruit — even when it seems the world has forgotten what honour means.Key Themes:The power of godly influence in a corrupt culture.The call to honor God in every season of life.The faithfulness of God to those who keep their vows.How prayer shapes both generations and destinies.Takeaway Verse:“Those who honour Me, I will honour.” – 1 Samuel 2:30Challenge for Listeners:Ask yourself this week — in what part of my life is God calling me to honour Him more fully? Is it in my words, my work, my worship, or my relationships? Take one step of obedience and watch how the Lord honors it in His time.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Hannah's Prayer - What Should We Praise God For. (1 Sam 2: 1-11)
Send us a textIn this episode, we explore how Hannah’s praise moves from personal gratitude to profound theology. From the pain of waiting to the joy of revelation, she discovers that God is sovereign — over life and death, over blessing and loss, over every turn of the human story. Her song anticipates the coming King, pointing forward to the Messiah Himself. Takeaway: True praise doesn’t just thank God for what He’s done — it trusts Him for what He’s doing and worships Him for who He is Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
