This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. 
Episode Notes:
Have you ever heard stories of believers who walked faithfully with the Lord for decades only to stumble badly right at the end of their lives? It’s heart-breaking when it happens. And when you read the historical books of the Old Testament, you discover that even some of the most outstanding leaders were not immune to this tragic pattern. 
One of the most striking examples is King Josiah, the king of Judah we have been studying.  If ever a king seemed destined to finish well, it was Josiah. And yet, right at the end, his unbelief led to a premature death.  A moment of misjudgment occurred. A decision made outside the will of God, and the life of one of Judah’s greatest kings was cut short.
 What happened?  How could a man so faithful fall so suddenly, and what does his story teach us about finishing well?
 Join me in 2 Chronicles chapter 35, where we’ll walk through Josiah’s final days, days filled with devotion, worship, courage, and ultimately, a tragic misstep that reminds us that no believer, no matter how faithful, is beyond the need for continual dependence on the Lord.

This Podcast is part of season 23 of a project to complete an in-depth study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
Episode Notes:
The Bible teaches that God will judge the world and everyone in it. Scripture is unambiguous about that. The judgment of God is inevitable, irreversible, and unavoidable. I am as certain of that reality. 
But the good news is this: It is possible to avoid the judgment of God.  And in some cases, it is even possible to postpone the judgment of God.
 That may sound surprising. It may not even sound right to some of you listening today. But one of the kings of Judah, an unlikely king, at an unlikely time,  I believe, managed to do exactly that. He personally avoided God’s judgment, and he postponed God’s judgment on the nation. And when you hear that, you naturally want to ask:
 How did he do that?  
What kind of man was he?
What kind of repentance did he show?
What kind of response moved the heart of God?
And what does his story mean for us today?
 The answer is found in 2 Chronicles chapter 34, one of the most remarkable chapters in the entire book, because it shows us what happens when a single heart becomes tender toward God, and how a single life can influence the destiny of an entire nation. 
In this episode, we’re going to walk through the story of King Josiah, a young man who sought the Lord early, responded to the Word deeply, and humbled himself completely. His life demonstrates that while God’s judgment is certain, a tender heart can delay it, and a repentant heart can escape it.

Episode Notes:
God forgives sin. But consequences… that’s another matter entirely.  We all know this in everyday life. A person can get drunk, crash their car, and later repent. God can forgive the sin of drunkenness completely, but the smashed car still needs repairing. The insurance still needs to be paid at the higher rate, if you can get insurance at all.... The consequences remain.
 In that case, the consequences are reversible. The car can be fixed, and the damage can be undone. But other situations have irreversible consequences. Forgiveness can be found, but the fallout cannot be undone. For ourselves and for others.
 2 Chronicles 33 offers a powerful illustration of that truth. It’s the story of a king who sinned deeply, repented sincerely, and was forgiven fully, yet still lived with consequences that could not be reversed. 
So, I’d like you to join me in this chapter as we look at the life of Manasseh, a king whose story reminds us that God’s grace is real… but so are the consequences of sin….

Episode Notes:
Most people assume pride and spirituality cannot coexist. Surely, if someone is truly spiritual, they wouldn’t be proud… would they?
 Yet the Old Testament records the story of a deeply spiritual man who also struggled with pride. His experience warns all of us who genuinely desire to walk with the Lord.
 So, what lessons can we learn from his example?....

Episode Notes:
When a church building falls into disrepair, the first step is always the same: clean out the rubbish.
 But when a church falls into spiritual disrepair, then sometimes ministries need to be removed or restored. Sometimes the whole spiritual structure needs to be rebuilt.
 A very similar thing happened in the Old Testament when Hezekiah became king; he discovered that the temple, because of years of neglect and idolatry, was filled with debris, defilement, and disorder. It needed to be cleansed. It needed to be reopened. It needed to be restored.
 And what Hezekiah did, and what happened as a result, provides a powerful example for us today.
