King Josiah

Even when we are serving Christ, there is a subtle temptation to exalt ourselves.  John had the right perspective when he said, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”

“ God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart .”  God has promised He would never leave us nor forsake us.  So what happened to Hezekiah, and can it happen to us?  How will we fare if it does?

The tombstones read RIP, but our hope is much more than that.  Instead of Resting In Peace, we look forward to Rejoicing In Victory.

The Assyrian empire has now set its sights on Judah, and like all other nations, Judah is falling, until Jerusalem alone stands.  Instead of bowing before the enemy, Hezekiah bows before God, and is delivered.

Joash was a great king – until his mentor died.  Then it became apparent he was good because of his relationship with a man, not God.  Live your life to please God, not people.

Jehu was extremely zealous for God, as long as it served his purposes.

You know the Bible stories of unlikely victory.  You know David and Goliath, Samson and the Philistines, Joshua and the battle of Jericho, Gideon and the Midianites.  But do you know the four lepers and the Arameans?  This week we will learn one more story reminding us God wins through courageous faithful people.

A Good Bad Guy and a Bad Good Guy

If Christ is raised from the dead, then so are those who are in Christ!
