spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ZLrM2xwItLbUzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz: Pride, Fear, and Faithfulness — Sunday Sermon, July 21, 2024 (38:34) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Jesus, in his Parable of the Soils, was right: different people respond to God in different ways. In Jesus' own history, the history of Israel and Judah, Judah's king Uzziah was faithful to God, but only until pride choked out his faith. His son Jotham was steadfast in his faith, and his trust in God strengthened his nation. But his son Ahaz was entirely unfaithful to God, and the result was God's judgment upon the king and people of Judah. Text: 2 Chronicles 26-28 |
Season 5, Episode 28
King Amaziah Would Not Listen — Sunday Sermon, July 14, 2024 (30:58) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — King Amaziah first listened to God, and because he obeyed the Lord, he prospered. But later in his reign he stopped listening to God, and he lost God's blessings. Amaziah's life is a lesson for us to listen to the Lord as we go about our lives, so that we might enjoy his blessings. Text: 2 Chronicles 25 |
Season 5, Episode 27
Jehoahaz, Jehoash, and Jeroboam II: Grace for the Undeserving — Sunday Sermon, July 7, 2024 (34:50) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In the stories of three consecutive kings of Israel, God demonstrates his profound compassion by showing grace even to undeserving kings and an undeserving nation. Text: 2 Kings 13 and 14:23-29 |
Season 5, Episode 26
Redemption in Christ, through the Eyes of Peter (Johnny Gallegos) — Sunday Sermon, June 30, 2024 (28:22) Sunday Sermon by Johnny Gallegos — Peter disowned Jesus three times, and all seemed to be lost. He could never undo what he had done. But Jesus redeemed Peter and called him to feed His sheep. In the same way, Jesus redeems us from our sin and calls us into his kingdom. Texts: excerpts from Luke 22, John 21 |
Season 5, Episode 25
How to Maintain Your Ministry (Ian Bissell) — Sunday Sermon, June 23, 2024 (33:02) Sunday Sermon by Ian Bissell, Preaching Intern with the Northwest School of Discipleship — Each of us has been given the gift of a ministry by God. What can we do to engage in that ministry effectively, in spite of dangers both external and internal? We draw from Paul's instructions to Timothy to help us as we serve the Lord. Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 |
Season 5, Episode 24
Athaliah, Joash, and the Courage of the Righteous — Sunday Sermon, June 16, 2024 (36:28) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Wicked Athaliah placed herself on the throne of Judah, but God worked through two righteous people to rescue the rightful (and infant) king and, a few years later, place him on his throne. That king prospered as he followed the Lord, but when he later turned away from God, God raised up another righteous man to courageously confront the king and the people, calling them to return to God. God continues to work through his people today, when his people trust in him and courageously step out to do the good to which he calls us. Text: 2 Kings 11, 2 Chronicles 24 |
Season 5, Episode 23
Jehu and the Fall of Ahab's House — Sunday Sermon, June 9, 2024 (35:04) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Why does God wait so long to punish the wicked, especially when they do harm to the innocent and the righteous? God waited years to punish Jezebel and to complete his prophesied judgment against the house of Ahab. He is slow to anger—and yet he also does not leave the guilty unpunished. He gives us time to repent, but he will not wait forever. Text: 2 Kings 9-10 |
Season 5, Episode 22
Ahaziah, Joram, and Jehoshaphat: God's Blessings to the Righteous Overflow — Sunday Sermon, June 2, 2024 (36:16) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In a moment of crisis, Israel's ungodly King Joram blamed God, but Judah's godly King Jehoshaphat looked to God for help. Because Jehoshaphat was there, the prophet Elisha foretold that God would rescue the kings and their armies and give them victory over the enemy. These events remind us of a principle we find throughout Scripture: God often causes his blessings of the righteous to overflow even to the unrighteous. Text: 2 Kings 3 |
Season 5, Episode 21
Ahab, Jezebel, and the Abuse of Royal Power — Sunday Sermon, May 26, 2024 (30:22) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — King Ahab wanted Naboth's vineyard; Naboth refused to sell. Queen Jezebel arranged to take the vineyard for Ahab—by having Naboth murdered. God saw and was furious. How does God expect those to whom he has given authority and power to use that power? Ahab and Jezebel abused the power God had given them. God calls us to do better with the influence and authority he gives us. Text: 1 Kings 21 |
Season 5, Episode 20
Ahab, Jezebel, and the Battle of the Gods — Sunday Sermon, May 19, 2024 (35:53) Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In Israel, the nation's worship of Jeroboam's calf idols resulted in forty years of political chaos. King Ahab brought political stability, but further spiritual decline. So God turned off the rain—the rain that was supposedly provided by Baal, god of Ahab's wife, Queen Jezebel. Three years later, desiring to show mercy to Israel again, God sent the prophet Elijah to challenge Baal to a climactic battle of the gods to prompt Israel to choose which God—Baal or the Lord—they would follow. Text: 1 Kings 18 |
