https://storage.googleapis.com/enduring-word-media/devotional/Devotional05152026.mp3 The post The Sad End of a Good King – 2 Kings 15:5 – May 15, 2026 appeared first on Enduring Word.

What must a king do? Proverbs 25:1–5 looks forward to the midweek sermon. In these five verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that a king must be under God, over the people, and surrounded by the godly. The devotional centers on Proverbs 25:1–5, emphasizing that true royal glory lies in the humble pursuit of God's revealed truth, reflecting the divine pattern where God conceals mysteries while kings are called to diligently seek what He has made known. It underscores the king's duty to govern according to Scripture, rejecting secular or natural law frameworks that marginalize divine revelation, while also calling for the people to honor and pray for their leaders, recognizing the depth of their burdens and the limits of human understanding. The metaphor of refining silver illustrates the necessity of removing wickedness from a king's inner circle, highlighting that trusted counselors must be spiritually pure and godly, as their influence shapes the integrity of leadership. This principle extends beyond political rulers to all believers, who are called to examine their own hearts and surround themselves with faithful, Christ-honoring companions. Ultimately, the passage calls for humility, discernment, and spiritual vigilance in both governance and personal relationships, rooted in submission to God's revealed will and trust in His sovereign counsel.

Join Rod and Janice Hembree as they delve into the biblical account of King Asa's reign in Judah, focusing on 2 Chronicles 14:1-15. Discover how Asa restored Judah through a spiritual revival, removing false idols and relying on God for victory against overwhelming odds. This engaging Bible Discovery episode also examines the lessons from other kings like Rehoboam and Abijah, emphasizing the importance of seeking God's guidance in times of peace and conflict.

In this episode, we continue our Kings series by exploring the life of King Jehoshaphat—a leader marked by deep devotion to God, strong leadership, and a few surprisingly questionable decisions. From spiritual reform and national peace to an ill-advised alliance with the infamous King Ahab, Jehoshaphat's story reminds us how even faithful people can drift into compromise. Join us as we unpack the tension between wisdom and weakness and what it looks like to keep our eyes on God when we don't know what to do.

A Gracious, Good King (2 Samuel 7:1-29) Brent Corbin

Today we continue our series in the Gospel of Luke, one of four eyewitness accounts of Jesus' words and works. In them we learn of his life, death, and resurrection to rescue his people from among the neighborhoods of Seattle and the nations of the world. Today, Jesus encourages us to take heart amidst a world gone wrong. The Good King will come, but not as we expect, so we must live ready. Audio | Notes | Luke 17:20-37

The Authority and Heart of a Good King unfolds the dual portrait of David in 2 Samuel 8–9. The king expands his borders, subdues enemies, establishes justice, and consolidates the kingdom under righteous rule. Yet in the midst of conquest, he pauses to remember a covenant promise. Mephibosheth, crippled and hidden away in obscurity, is summoned not for judgment but for mercy. The table of the king becomes a place of adoption. These chapters reveal more than history. They present a redemptive picture of Christ, the greater Son of David, who conquers by divine authority and gathers sinners by sovereign grace. Worship with us at Reformation OPC Gastonia!

In our Nov 30 Sunday gathering we conclude our series about the Big Story - what Christians believe and what the Bible is all about. This week's discussion questions are below: Which of the seven core beliefs from this series has reshaped your understanding of the Bible the most? Why? How does the ending of the biblical story (Revelation 21) change how you see the beginning (Genesis 1–2)? The sermon compared Revelation's ending to a “twist ending” that reframes everything.
What did the ending of Scripture reframe for you personally? Revelation 21 shows heaven coming down to earth. How is this different from how you grew up imagining “heaven”? What part of the New Jerusalem imagery (garden, city, river, the tree of life, God dwelling with His people) speaks most to you? Why? Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come… on earth as it is in heaven.”
What does that reveal about the current state of the world? Where do you see “shadowlands” in our world today—places where God's effective will is clearly not being done? Why does it matter that Christians understand themselves as living between two kingdoms? How does the parable of the “Good King” help you understand Jesus' mission in a fresh way? What strikes you most about the King entering the rebel kingdom “in fragile flesh and blood”?
How does that deepen your understanding of the gospel? The sermon said: “You are an ambassador of the King.”
What does an ambassador do?
What might that look like in your daily routines? Where do you feel God calling you to “carry His light into the shadowlands” this week? What difference does it make that our future is bodily resurrection—not escaping to a spiritual sky-world? How does the promise that “your labor is not in vain” (1 Cor 15:58) encourage you right now? The sermon said: “Resurrection hope doesn't pull us out of the world—it roots us more deeply in it.”
What does that look like in practical terms? If God is renewing creation, how does that change the way you think about your job, your art, or your acts of justice and service? Which part of your ordinary life feels most connected to God's kingdom purposes? How does the Christian hope of the restoration of all things reshape the way we face pain, loss, or injustice today? Can you think of a time when remembering “the ending of the story” carried you through a hard season? Jesus' final words are: “Behold, I am coming soon.”
What stirs in you when you hear that?
Anticipation? Confusion? Comfort? Something else? What would change in your week if you lived with a conscious awareness:
“The King is returning”?

King Jehoram and King Ahaziah, what really happened? Come Bible Study WITH ME through 2 Kings 8 and ask all the questions!

THE TEMPLE in Jerusalem fell into disrepair within a century of the death of Solomon. The king who repaired it was a good man—mostly. Joash (or Jehoash), son of Ahaziah, reigned in Judah 835–796 BC. He was made king at age seven by the high priest Jehoiada and is credited with restoring the Temple—even pushing the priests, who seemed rather slow to make repairs even after they were ordered to do so. However, the account in 2 Chronicles 24 records that after the death of Jehoiada, Joash fell away and returned to the pagan gods of the Canaanites. Worse, he had the son of Jehoiada, Zechariah, murdered for calling him out! As a consequence, God allowed Judah to be defeated by a relatively small army from the neighboring Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and Joash was assassinated in his bed by two of his servants. We also discuss the death of Elisha in the northern kingdom of Israel, and why King Joash (same name, different king) failed to completely defeat the Arameans.

Josiah's life shows us the beauty of renewal: hearing God's Word, grieving over sin, tearing down false worship, and turning fully to the living God. Yet even this unparalleled king couldn't rescue his people from God's coming judgment. Why? Because sin runs deeper than our best efforts—it clings to us in guilt and shame, and no amount of personal reform can remove it. The good news is that Jesus does what Josiah could not: He bears our guilt, carries our shame, and takes God's wrath in our place. This is the hope that truly makes us new.

Why are we obsessed with kings? What makes Jesus a good king? Will you submit to him? In today's episode, Keith shares how 2 Samuel 21:15-22 points to King Jesus, who fights our battles for us.

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on what the Bible is all about. Do you really know what the Bible is about? When you understand the point an author is trying to make even the most complicated of books make much more sense. This summer we are going to “stand on the shoulders” of D. A. Carson and his book The God Who is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story as we walk through the big story of Scripture to discuss what the Bible is truly about.

MOST OF THE kings of Judah, and all of those who ruled the northern kingdom of Israel, “did evil in the sight of the LORD.” One notable exception was Asa, king of Judah between about 910 and 873 BC, whose “heart was wholly true all his days.” He got rid of the idols erected by his father, Abijah, and banished male cult prostitutes from the land. The account of his reign in 2 Chronicles further records the religious reforms instituted by Asa, who even removed his mother (or grandmother) Maacah from her position as queen mother because she'd erected an Asherah pole.

This Palm Sunday message highlights that all of the Old Testament has a message: The good King will come. Similarly the Gospels have a message: The Good King has come. The choice that falls on each one of us is whether we will crown Him? Or will we crucify Him?

When an unstoppable army marches to Judah's doorstep–mocking their faith and daring them to trust God–find out how King Hezekiah and the Prophet Isaiah respond (it's awesome) in 2 Kings 18 and 2 Kings 19. Themes of this podcast episode:Recognizing the Enemy's Tactics. The Assyrian commander uses fear, lies, and twisted theology to manipulate Judah into surrender. His strategy mirrors the enemy's tactics today, showing us why we must be grounded in truth to stand firm.Trusting God in the Face of Fear. King Hezekiah faces overwhelming opposition...twice. The first time, he panics and makes a big mistake. The second time, he makes an incredible faith come back. Don't miss this helpful reminder that faith isn't about the absence of fear—it's about where we place our trust when fear comes knocking.Prayer Changes History. Hezekiah's bold, God-centered prayer isn't just a desperate plea, it's a game-changer. His prayer aligns with God's will, giving us a powerful example of how we can bring our own struggles to God.

Good King Josiah, one of Judah's most righteous rulers, exemplifies faith and reform throughout his life, as recorded in 2 Kings 22–23. Despite a lineage of wickedness, he ascended the throne at age eight and sought the Lord wholeheartedly, rediscovering the Book of the Law and implementing sweeping reforms. Josiah eradicated idolatry, renewed the covenant, and celebrated a historic Passover, reflecting his deep conviction and submission to Scripture. His story underscores timeless lessons on leadership, repentance, and the enduring sovereignty of God, even amidst personal and national challenges. ★ Support this podcast ★
