2 Chronicles 35:1-19, Josiah
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord, 3 And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall…
Colossians 3:14-17, Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word…
2 Kings 23:4-16, Josiah’s action after discovery of the book of the Law
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. 5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings…
2 Kings 22:14-20, Josiah
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. 15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, 16 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place,…
Colossians 3:12-15
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one…
2 Chronicles 34:14-33, Josiah
And 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…
