2 Chronicles 34:14-33, Josiah
nd when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the Lord given by Moses. 15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. 16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All…
Colossians 3:10-15, Put on mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering
We want to continue our study through the book of Colossians. Many of the things that you just got done singing, Paul is reinforcing, encouraging, and helping the church at Colossa as well as us, and Christians throughout the ages to understand our position and purpose in Jesus Christ. Why did Jesus come to be the penalty for our sins? Why did He call us out of darkness into light? In America, over the last, I don’t know, probably 20,…
2 Chronicles 33:21-25; 34:1-13, Josiah
I want to look first at Josiah’s father, Ammon. Ammon was the son of Manasseh, and Manasseh, as you remember, was the most ungodly king that ever ruled in Judah. And yet at the end of his life, as we saw on Sunday, he repented and called out to the Lord, and the Lord forgave him. And he went back and began to restore some of the things that he had destroyed. But a big portion of the problem was…
2 Chronicles 33:1-20, Manasseh, Decisions have Consequences
Manasseh took over for his father. Hezekiah had been a very godly man. Remember when Hezekiah was a young man in his twenties and came to rule the nation of Israel, he established, the first thing he did was call the people to sanctify themselves. He called the priests and the Levites to sanctify themselves. He called them to tear down the high places, the groves, the idols. There had been things that had desecrated the temple. Hezekiah cleaned all…
Colossians 3:5-7, Putting on the new man
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off…
2 Kings 20:12-21 and Isaiah 39:1-8, Prosperity of Pride
At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his…
Isaiah 38, Hezekiah Faced with Death
This afternoon I continue our study into the life of Hezekiah, king of Judah. And I would have you turn to Isaiah, and we’re going to be looking at Isaiah chapter 38 this afternoon. Oftentimes difficulties come into our life and we don’t know why. Sometimes God allows them and we don’t understand. In the life of Hezekiah. Hezekiah, as I mentioned, was one of the most godly kings of the southern kingdom of Judah that has reigned. He had…
Colossians 3:1-10, Seeking Things Above
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate…
Isaiah 37:1-38, The Power of Prayer
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of…
Isaiah 36:1-22, Trusting in God even when facing seemingly insurmountable odds
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them. 2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field. 3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, which was over the house, and…
Colossians 2:11-23, Complete in Him
Songs that we just sang, living for Jesus and take time to be holy. Talk about our relationship with the Lord as believers. Talk about how we should live our lives. Talk about what should be the significance and what is important to us. As Paul is writing this letter to the church at Colossae. Remember I said that there was already false teaching that was coming into the church. That Satan was using to undermine the significance and the importance of the gospel.…
2 Chronicles 32:1-16, Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, aims at conquering Jerusalem
After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself. 2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, 3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him. 4 So there was gathered…
