In our last episode, we considered the life of King Joash, the baby heir to the throne who was rescued and brought to kingship by Jehoiada the priest. Joash abandoned the Lord's temple, and was later assassinated. The next four kings continue this lineage. Amaziah begins well, but surprisingly turns to worship the idols of those he has defeated, and soon thereafter becomes overconfident. Amaziah's son, Uzziah, also begins well, but he, too, becomes overconfident, and acts unfaithfully by offering incense in the Lord's temple, a role that is reserved only for priests. Next, Jotham's reign is pretty quiet, as he did not waver in obeying the Lord. Finally, King Ahaz sells out to other countries and other gods and is invaded by Tiglath-Pileser.2 Chronicles 25 - 1:11 . 2 Chronicles 26 - 8:18 . 2 Chronicles 27 – 13:30 . 2 Chronicles 28 - 15:56 .

In our last episode we covered the life of King Jehoshaphat who was faithful to the Lord, but in today's episode we witness the beginning of the end for the kings of Judah. Jehoshaphat's son, King Jehoram is straight-up Je-horrible and when he dies from a horrific intestinal disease, Scripture records that he “died to no one's regret.” Sounds like a great epitaph for a tombstone doesn't it? His son, Jehoahaz, whom we should note is mainly called Ahaziah, takes the throne after him for only one year before he is killed. After his death, his mother Athaliah goes on a killing spree in order to take the throne, but an heir to the throne is waiting undercover to take back the kingdom.2 Chronicles 21 - 1:08 . 2 Chronicles 22 - 5:31 . 2 Chronicles 23 - 9:20 . 2 Chronicles 24 - 14:53 .

At the end of our last episode we were introduced to Asa's son, King Jehoshaphat, and today we'll read further accounts of his life. Jehoshaphat instituted a plan to educate Judah in the ways of the Lord, sending officials and priests out with the book of the Lord's instruction. Remember that Asa failed to call upon the name of the Lord when there was threat of war, but by contrast, Jehoshaphat regularly calls upon the Lord throughout this narrative. Each time Jehoshaphat humbles himself and prays or calls a prophet to inquire of the Lord, the Lord is gracious and delivers him from trouble, blessing Judah with riches and peace.2 Chronicles 18 - 1:09 . 2 Chronicles 19 - 9:29 . 2 Chronicles 20 - 12:08 .

Our reading today examines the lives of two descendants of David who each reigned as king over Israel. First: Abijah, who reigned for only 3 years, but who made an impassioned speech against Israel's king Jeroboam, warning him that he should not wage war against the Lord and those who serve Him. Abijah's son Asa takes the throne after him, and Asa devotes himself to the Lord for most of his life. The Lord rewards Asa's faithfulness by blessing the nation of Judah with a long period of peace. When the threat of war finally becomes immanent, Asa fails to consult the Lord, and instead turns towards another king for help. 2 Chronicles 13 - 1:13 . 2 Chronicles 14 - 5:59 . 2 Chronicles 15 - 10:10 . 2 Chronicles 16 - 13:29 . 2 Chronicles 17 - 16:34 .

What do you get when you mix royal marriages, palace drama, and one very wicked queen? In this episode, we follow the unraveling of a godly legacy as we wrap up chapter 20 and head into 2 Chronicles 21–24. One sinful alliance sets off a chain of destruction, but even in the chaos God's promise to David stands firm. And through the quiet courage of two faithful people, the line of Christ is preserved.Themes of this podcast: Sinful alliances can derail Godly legacies. Jehoshaphat was a good king, but his alliance with Ahab opened the door for idolatry, violence, and spiritual decay in Judah. One unwise decision—marrying into a wicked family—allowed sin to unravel generations of godly influence.God preserves His promises, even through chaos. Despite betrayal, murder, and idolatry, God keeps His promises. His plans cannot be stopped even by the darkest evil.Ordinary faithfulness can change the course of history. Jehosheba and Jehoiada weren't kings or warriors—they were a stepdaughter and a priest. But their courage, faith, and obedience became the turning point in Judah's story. God uses faithful people in hidden places to do extraordinary things.Show notes: BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

In this message, Pastor Jim explores the leadership of King Hezekiah and what it looks like to align our lives with God as ultimate reality. Jim shows how worship and obedience help life “fit together,” even when counterfeit pieces try to slip in. Walking through 2 Kings 18–20 and 2 Chronicles 29–32, he traces Hezekiah's reforms, the Assyrian threat, a shocking illness, and Isaiah's encouragement to trust God's promise and power. Jim reminds us that faithfulness does not guarantee a painless life, but it does anchor us in the presence of God. The message culminates in how Jesus is the better Hezekiah, whose third-day victory frees us to live as temples of the living God and to worship in everyday life.

Worship at the new temple has been established and the people of Israel begin to worship the Lord with renewed vigor and zeal. The Lord honors their worship and continues to love His people by providing for them and protecting them. King Solomon's wisdom and wealth become known across the ancient world, and royalty from nearby nations come to seek his counsel and insight. Ironically, Solomon's wisdom is not passed on to his son, Rehoboam, as one of his first decrees runs in direct contradiction to the council of elders. By trusting his friends more than the advice of wise men with experience, Rehoboam serves as a catalyst for division.2 Chronicles 9 - 1:09 . 2 Chronicles 10 - 8:09 . 2 Chronicles 11 - 12:04 . 2 Chronicles 12 - 16:15 .

In this Bible Story, we learn about King Zedekiah's stubbornness against the Babylonians. He fights against them despite Jeremiah's warnings. Jeremiah continues to warn people that fighting against Babylon is a vain attempt - like grasping at air. This story is inspired by 2 Chronicles 36:10-16 & 2 Kings 24:18-25:2 & Jeremiah 37. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Jeremiah 37:17 from the King James Version.Episode 158: Jeremiah, still captive in the courthouse of Judah, was praying to God when he received a Word from Him that Hanamel would soon be coming to sell him his land in Anathoth. But this was about more than relieving his uncle of a burden, it was God's way of showing the people what He would do for them. So Jeremiah continued to preach the Word of God to the people and he continued to receive beatings from them. One day, he was summoned by King Zedekiah to give him the truth of the situation and though he spoke honestly to the King, he did not follow Jeremiah's advice. Yet even as the gates of the courthouse were being broken down, God protected Jeremiah and gave him mercy.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Solomon has finished the work of building the temple and the ark of the covenant is now in the newly constructed room known as the most holy place. The priests have consecrated themselves and will worship the Lord through music. Solomon prays to the Lord before the nation of Israel, asking God to hear their prayers, reminding the people through his prayer that God resides in heaven, and is not confined to the walls of the temple. At the conclusion of his prayer, the temple fills with a cloud and with the Lord's glory to such a degree that the priests are not able to continue ministering. The Lord responds to Solomon by reaffirming his commitment to David's lineage so long as they are faithful to His statutes.2 Chronicles 6 - 1:08 . 2 Chronicles 7 - 10:50 . 2 Chronicles 8 - 16:47 .

2 Chronicles 32-33; 19 Psalms 79; 41 Mark 13
So far in our chronological reading we've read two of the minor prophets, those being Obadiah and Jonah, and in today's episode we'll begin to read from our first major prophet, the prophet Isaiah. If you're familiar with the overall arch of Israel, Judah, and the prophets, you know that there were prophets before, during, and after the exile to Babylon. Starting with this episode, the majority of our reading for the rest of the year will be from the major and minor prophets with sections from history books interspersed as history moves along. Today we'll learn about King Uzziah of Judah from 2 Chronicles, where we are also briefly introduced to Isaiah before proceeding to the first two chapters of that book.2 Chronicles 26 - 1:06 .

Zedekiah hated Nebuchadnezzar and sent for Jeremiah to pray for the deliverance of Judah. However, the word of God that came was not one of hope but of determination. The Chaldeans were coming to destroy Judah and this was from God. After giving this message, Jeremiah was taken by the guards, beaten, and thrown into prison.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

We're back in the Old Testament with 2 Chronicles which is the second book of a four book series which includes 1 & 2 Chronicles along with Ezra and Nehemiah. Combined, they make up a historical account of God's people starting with Adam and ending with the return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon. It's likely that Ezra is the author of all four and the one responsible for compiling the material, but we don't know for sure. Here in the second book of Chronicles we begin with the rule of Solomon, son of King David, who has been given authority as king by God's special decree. Later, we'll begin reading Isaiah, and in chapter 1 you'll notice a stark contrast between worship at the temple's beginning and worship in the temple's latter days.2 Chronicles 1 - 1:08 . 2 Chronicles 2 - 4:34 . 2 Chronicles 3 - 9:48 . 2 Chronicles 4 - 12:46 . 2 Chronicles 5 - 16:24 .
