2 Kings 16:1-20; 2 Chronicles 28:1-27, King Ahaz seeking help from the enemy
In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father. 3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according…
2 Chronicles 27:1-9, Jotham
This afternoon I want to continue to look at 2 Chronicles and 2 Kings. We’re looking at the Kings of Israel and the Kings of Judah. And if you have your Bibles, and you’ll turn with me, I want to look at 2 Kings chapter 15, and we’re also going to be looking at 2 Chronicles, and I believe it will be chapter 27. And I want us to look at, we’ve been looking at Uzziah, and then after Uzziah in Israel, Uzziah’s son, Ahazariah, Uzziah means Ahazariah, and…
Colossians 1:21-29; 2:1-10, Rooted and Grounded in Him
This morning, if you have your Bibles, we want to continue our study through the book of Colossians. If you’d turn with me, we want to pick it up where we left off last week in Colossians chapter 1. The Apostle Paul, as we have been studying in the book of Colossians, is writing to the church at Colossae as well as the other churches in that area. I believe in the lesson today we’ll get to a verse where he actually makes reference to…
2 Chronicles 26:1-23, Following God
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 4 And he did that which was right in the sight…
2 Chronicles 25:1-28, Starting Well But Pride Creeps In
Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart. 3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father. 4 But he slew not their…
Colossians 1:15-23, Reconciled to God
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning,…
2 Kings 11:17-21; 12:1-17 and 2 Chronicles 24:12-27, The Downfall of King Joash
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people; between the king also and the people. 18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord. 19 And he…
2 Chronicles 22:10-12 through 2 Chronicles 23:1-15
10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. 11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of…
Colossians 1:1-14, Join Pastor Glenn Knudson in a study in Colossians
The book of Colossians was written to the church at Colossae by the Apostle Paul. And it was written while he was imprisoned during his first imprisonment. To give you a little background, Paul was not the one who planted the church at Colossae. Colossae is located approximately a little over 100 miles east of Ephesus. Ephesus sits on a port. And Ephesus was one of the main cities of Macedonia at that time. And Colossae had been a city…
2 Kings 10:1-36, Doing the Right Thing With The Wrong Attitude
And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab’s children, saying, 2 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour; 3 Look even out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set him on his…
2 Kings 9:1-37, Jehu’s anointing as the next king of Israel
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead: 2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber; 3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it…
Isaiah 40:21-31, Mount up with Wings of Eagles
Onward Christian Soldier I would like to build upon what Jared Esser spoke on last week. He was speaking on Isaiah chapter 40. And I would like to take the last few verses out of Isaiah chapter 40 this morning, and then also look at Romans chapter 8, and the last portion of Romans chapter 8. As we’re coming to a new year, and we’re only five days into the new year, many people across our country have made New…
