In this message, we will be introduced to a young man named Elihu. He is very angry, and he is full of words. Tonight we will learn some important lessons about miss-guided passion in young people, and using our words wisely.
In this message, we will look at part two of the end of disobedience. As the book of 2 Kings comes to an end, yet once more we will be reminded of the consequence of not obeying God. I pray that we would take from this lesson, the encouragement to heed God‘s word and enjoy His blessing rather than disobey and receive his discipline.
In this study of second kings 15 we will look at seven kings from Israel and Judah. From each king, we will take lessons that I hope will help us in our submission and surrender to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus.
In this study, we will see the fall of Jerusalem. After many warnings from the prophets, they have reached the point of no return. God had spoken through His prophets the judgment that was surely to come, and it is here. We will learn a powerful lesson tonight on the fruit of disobedience. While obedience brings blessing, disobedience brings disaster.
In this message, we will see the fall of Judah. As we look at the cause of Judah‘s fall, my prayer is that we will learn from the errors of those who have gone before us. The scripture says “these things are written for our learning”. As we watch them fall, may we stand strong, in obedience to the Lord.
In this message, we will continue to look at King Josiah. Not only did he lead the nation back to The Lord as he received a copy of the word of God, but he also made sure that it would be very difficult for them to go back to the things that Caused them to sin against the Lord. We will learn important principles on not just departing from sin, but making sure that there is no turning back.
In this message, we will see Manasseh undo everything his father had accomplished. Hezekiah led reforms that removed idolatry and put the nation back into a good place with God. His son Manasseh brings back every ungodly thing his father had removed and even goes beyond that himself. We will learn tonight to be careful that we are not losing ground in our relationship with God. We don’t want to welcome back the things that we removed when we were in compliance and obedience to the Lord. Forward, not backward, forever.
In this message, we will be reminded of the fact that times of prosperity and blessing can be dangerous for the people of God. Historically, when God‘s people have been in trouble, oppressed, or in danger, they run to the Lord. But, in times of prosperity and blessing, they often forget the Lord that brought prosperity and blessing. We will learn from Hezekiah‘s mistake in this area tonight to remain worshipful and thankful when God has blessed and prospered us.
In this message, we will see Hezekiah, when confronted with his own death, cries out to the Lord in prayer for healing. We will learn about the power of prayer, God‘s will versus our will, and we will be reminded that with a God as big as ours we should not be afraid to pray big prayers. I pray that all of our faith will be strengthened through this message.
In this message, we will see the response from God to Hezekiah‘s prayer from the previous verses. It is a great reminder to all of us that God hears our prayers and answers according to His perfect will. Is there something you should bring to his attention in prayer today?
