  Day 105 | 1 Kings 19-20 | Why Does God Feel So Quiet? Elijah Runs from Jezebel | Bible in a Year 28.09.2026 20Min.

  Elijah just called down fire from heaven. One threat from Jezebel, and he runs for his life. In 1 Kings 19-20, God meets him on Mount Horeb, not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a low whisper, and keeps guiding even wayward King Ahab. Pastor Kevin shows why God so often feels quiet: He usually leads with a still small voice, not a spectacle, and He meets you in the cave of your fear.Here we consider Elijah and Jezebel, the still small voice, Mount Horeb, Elisha's call, and Ahab and Ben-hadad.

  Three years without rain, and Israel can't decide between God and Baal. It all comes down to one mountaintop: Elijah against 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. In 1 Kings 15-18, ravens feed Elijah and a starving widow sees her son raised from the dead. Pastor Kevin shows the cost of living between two opinions, and why only one God is still powerful enough to answer. Here we consider Elijah and the prophets of Baal, Ahab and Jezebel, the widow of Zarephath, a divided heart, and faith in a dry season.Read the whole Bible in a year with BibleWay, a daily Bible reading and devotional podcast from Pastor Kevin McGill.

In 1 Kings 13-14, King Jeroboam's hand withers at the altar in Bethel, the old prophet claims an angel spoke to him, and later Jeroboam's wife visits the blind prophet Ahijah in disguise. Pastor Kevin shows how to tell God's voice from one that only sounds like Him.

In 1 Kings 11-12, Solomon's heart turns to Chemosh and Milcom, Rehoboam ignores the elders and the kingdom divides, and Jeroboam sets up golden calves at Bethel and Dan.

  Day 101 | 1 Kings 9-10 | The Small Compromises: Solomon and the Queen of Sheba | Bible in a Year 23.09.2026 20Min.

  Solomon's kingdom has never looked better, and it's quietly breaking the rules God set for Israel's kings. In 1 Kings 9-10, God warns Solomon a second time, forced labor builds his cities, horses arrive from Egypt, and the Queen of Sheba comes to praise it all. Pastor Kevin shows why the small compromises we ignore keep spreading, and points to the King who can repair what we can't.

  Solomon's temple is carved with cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and it's no accident that it looks like a garden. In 1 Kings 5-7, Solomon and Hiram of Tyre spend seven years building God's house, with every stone cut at the quarry so no hammer is heard. Pastor Kevin shows how each detail echoes the garden of Eden, and how God has always been making a way to bring us home.

  God offers King Solomon anything he wants, and he asks for a listening heart. In 1 Kings 3-4, that request is tested when two mothers claim the same baby and the king calls for a sword. Pastor Kevin shows why a heart that hears God is the best thing you can ask for, and how that wisdom lets a whole nation flourish. Here we consider Solomon's wisdom, his dream at Gibeon, the two mothers and the baby, humility, and asking God for the right thing.Read the whole Bible in a year with BibleWay, a daily Bible reading and devotional podcast from Pastor Kevin McGill.

  What would it cost you to stand between judgment and the people you love? In 2 Samuel 21-24, David settles a debt left by Saul's broken oath, sings a song of deliverance, and then orders a census of his fighting men, even as Joab tries to talk him out of it. When judgment falls, David has a choice to make at a threshing floor. Pastor Kevin shows how that threshing floor points toward the cross. Here we consider David's census, the threshing floor of Araunah, David's song of deliverance, pride, and sacrifice.Read the whole Bible in a year with BibleWay, a daily Bible reading and devotional podcast from Pastor Kevin McGill.

  David is barely back on the throne before a new rebellion starts.

  What does a father's love sound like at its breaking point? In 2 Samuel 16-18, Shimei curses David and throws stones as he flees, and David won't let his men retaliate. Absalom's advisers give opposite counsel, and the war comes down to one day in the forest of Ephraim, with David begging his commanders to deal gently with his son.

  David brings his exiled son home but won't see him for two years. In 2 Samuel 14-15, Joab stages a plan to reconcile David and Absalom, but the distance remains, so Absalom stands by the city gate, hearing every complaint and quietly stealing the hearts of Israel, until David has to flee his own city.

  What does real confession sound like? In 2 Samuel 12-13, the prophet Nathan tells King David about a rich man who steals a poor man's only lamb, and David is furious, until Nathan turns the story on him. How David answers will set him apart from Saul, but sin has already taken root in his family. Pastor Kevin explores confession, consequence, and the grace that holds God's covenant together. Here we consider Nathan and David, "you are the man," Amnon and Tamar, repentance, and covenant grace.Read the whole Bible in a year with BibleWay, a daily Bible reading and devotional podcast from Pastor Kevin McGill.

Then, in the spring when kings go out to war, he stays home, and from his rooftop he sees Bathsheba. Pastor Kevin shows how pride and comfort set us up for our worst falls.
