Message Date: July 10th, 2022 Scripture: Matthew 12:24-30 Speaker: Paulo Caproni This world and the spirit world are not separate, but one. In this parable of the Divided Kingdom, Jesus teaches that His mission was a spiritual one: before He could free the prisoners, Jesus would first bind the strong man by the power of the Spirit. What difference does all this talk of spirits and strong men make in your life?
Today, we hear the story of the prophet Jonah, who, unlike Amos, does not want the people to repent. The readings are 2 Kings 15, Jonah 1-4, and Psalm 138.

As we conclude the book of Amos, we hear Amos rebuke the people for grudgingly giving their time to God, as in prayer or on the sabbath, and counting the minutes until they could do whatever they wanted. Fr. Mike points out that if we don't give our hearts and minds to God, we won't be able to stand heaven, where prayer and praise are everlasting. The readings are 2 Kings 13-14, Amos 7-9, and Psalm 124. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The readings are 2 Kings 11-12, Amos 4-6, and Psalm 122. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

We come to the end of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, and boy is it a sad ending. King Josiah led Judah towards a godly future. One where the people of Judah were once again in covenant with Yahweh. But then he died, and his sons were left to run the country, and unlike their Father, they had no interest in having a heart after Yahweh. Instead, they led Judah back to its idolatrous ways, and we come to the final chapter in the story of Israel. We also meet a prophet named Jeremiah, who though he weeps over his people's sin, leaves us with a glimmer of hope. The tragic story that is about to unfold may have a happy ending after all. Listen to find out more. To follow along in your Bible, turn to 2 Kings 23 - 25 and 2 Chronicles 36.
This is the twenty-ninth sermon in our series Shepherd, Warrior, King: The Life of David.

Josiah is a fabulous King in the eyes of the LORD. He has a heart wholly devoted to him and is busy tearing down high places and removing idolatrous practices from the nation of Judah. He began to rebuild the broken parts of the Temple to restore the site dedicated to the worship of YAHWEH. The High Priest Hilkiah was busy cleaning and ordering the temple treasury when he saw the edge of something sticking out in the corner. It looked like a scroll, probably some scroll that tallied the gold, silver, or other things stored here. But when he pulled it out and rolled out the scroll, and began to read it, he discovered something incredible. Something amazing. What was on this scroll? Listen to this podcast to find out. Read 2 Kings 22 - 23 and 2 Chronicles 34 and 35 to follow along.
As King of Judah, can an 8-year-old child be the Greatest Of All Time? The greatest king Judah, and in fact, all of Israel ever had? The writer of 2 Kings thinks so. He wrote of this 8-year old King that "Neither before nor after . . . was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did—with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, in accordance with all the Law of Moses" (2 Kings 23:25). Who was this fantastic elementary school kid? What was the name of this child King that put the adults around him to shame? Listen on to find out. Turn to 2 Kings 23 and 2 Chronicles 34 - 35 to follow along in your Bible
a) Solomon Slides Into Idolatry (1 Kings 11:1-8)b) God Predicts the Divided Kingdom (1 Kings 11:9-13)c) God Raises External Enemies (1 Kings 11:14-25)d) God Raises an Internal Enemy (1 Kings 11:26-40)
Hezekiah was a good King who followed Yahweh with all his heart. Though he did not end his reign on a high note, overall, he was a King who pleased God. And for eleven years his son Manasseh co-reigned with him, learning from his Dad how to lead the nation in a way that pleases God. And when his father died, at the age of twelve, Manasseh became the sole ruler of Judah. And you know what he did when he was finally on his own? He became one of the vilest, evil kings Israel and Judah had ever known. Why? What caused him to forsake everything his father stood for? And would he reject Yahweh for all of his reign? Listen to this week's story to find out. To follow along in the Bible turn to 2 Kings 21 and 2 Chronicles 33.
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... God divided the kingdom into two parts: Judah & Israel. The kingdom remained divided and they fought against one another. One king died and another replaced him and most often those kings did evil as described in the following: I Kings 14 22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked HIM to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 24 And there were also sodomites (homosexuals) in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
This week we come to the end of Hezekiah's story. The GOAT of Judah, one of the greatest Kings Judah ever had, is coming to the end of his days. He is dying, and the prophet Isaiah has shown up to tell him that God wants him to get his house in order because he will die. But Hezekiah is not ready to die. He still wants to live, so he pleads to the Lord for life, to not die, and to live longer. He prays for God to remember all he has done for Him and to give him more time on this earth. And then God answers. What is the answer God gives him? You will have to listen to this week's episode to find out. Turn to 2 Kings 19, 2 Chronicles 30 - 31, and Isaiah 39 to follow along.
The great Assyrian King was threatening the very walls of Jerusalem. He had marched throughout the Samaritan region, destroying nations and taking many captive and exiling them to Nineveh and the cities of his Assyria. And he had one prize left, the city of Jerusalem, and he was primed to siege and take it and wipe out the nation of Judah forever. Judah's King at the time was King Hezekiah, and he had to face the threat of Sennacherib and his vast army. But how? Where is Judah's, God Yahweh? When will Yahweh show himself powerful and defend His people? Hezekiah cries out to God in desperation. Will He listen? Will he save the people of Judah from King Sennacherib? Listen to this week's story to find out. To follow along in your Bible turn to 2 Kings 18 and 19, 2 Chronicles 32, and Isaiah 36 and 37.
King Hezekiah is the ruler of the southern Kingdom, known as Judah or southern Israel. Last week, Hezekiah cleansed the temple, reformed and reordered the priesthood, and now he calls all of Israel to come to the temple in Jerusalem to rejoice and worship the one true God Yahweh. He calls all that is left of the northern Kingdom to come and celebrate. Will any of them come? Will the Lord accept their worship? What will this celebration look like? Listen to this week's podcast to find out. Read 2 Chronicles 30 to follow along.
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Because of Solomon's sin in following the gods of his wives, God tells Solomon HE will take the kingdom away from him and HE, God, will divide the kingdom into two parts: Judah and Israel This will happen in the days of Solomon's son Rehoboam. One part, Judah, will be ruled by Rehoboam. 10 parts of Israel will be ruled by Jeroboam.
Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... The Kings of the children of Israel: * Saul (I Samuel 9-10) * David (I Samuel 16:13) * Solomon (I Kings 1:32-39) The Divided Kingdom: (Judah & Israel) I Kings 11:11-13 Judah: Rehoboam son of Solomon was king Israel : (10 tribes) Jeroboam was king. I Kings 15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. From the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, the kingdom was divided into Judah and Israel and many kings reigned over the divided nations through the coming years. With many of the kings, their works were evil in the sight of God. Great penalties followed the evil works.
The greatest of all time, otherwise known as the GOAT. This week we meet for the first time the GOAT of the Kings of Judah, and his name is Hezekiah. Now it is not me making this claim of goatness for him, it is the Bible. Scripture says that there was no better King before or after him. And what made him so great? Well, for one thing, he was not afraid to take on super secret serpent cults. Listen to how he dealt with the cult of Nehushtan, and reigned in such a way that the Bible called him the greatest King of all time. To follow along turn to 2 Kings 18 and 2 Chronicles 28 and 29.
The end, That's all, folks. And they lived happily ever after. All stories come to an end, a conclusion. And we hope they are happy endings, that the story ends with the hero riding into the sunset having vanquished all their foes. But other stories end badly; they end on a sad note. And this week, we hear one of those stories. The end of Northern Israel does not end well. Their story concludes ugly, painful, and the worst part about it is that it could have all been avoided if the people of Israel had done one simple thing: obeyed. Hear the end of their story, and may it be a reminder to us all that the only path to joy is trusting and obeying Jesus. To follow along in your Bible, turn to 2 Kings 17.
The Kingdom of Israel lasted three generations before falling into idolatry, deep division, and turmoil. We find ourselves facing some of the same exact problems in this cultural moment. Will we learn from the history of Israel and turn back to God before the fractures cause irreparable damage? Title: Divided Kingdom Text: 1 Kings 12 Series: Prophets & Kings Speaker: Josh Branham
Despite the completion of the temple for the nation's centralized worship, Israel's devotion to God drifts in the wake of its newfound success and comfort, with Solomon's divided heart leading to a divided monarchy as the slow drift of syncretistic sin splinters Israel & Judah and sends them spiraling in decline.
God does not bring judgment before sending warning. As Israel and Judah spiraled downward morally during the divided kingdom, the Lord sent prophet after prophet to turn them from their wicked ways. But they also foresaw a future age when a mysterious figure would lead God's people from all nations to salvation.
