Podcast appearances and mentions of king hezekiah

Today, the kingdom of Israel falls with finality as for the longest time they have denied the ways of the Lord that would make them distinct from the surrounding nations. After spiraling madly away from the Lord for decades, the Lord allows the king of Assyria to conquer Israel and deport it's people to foreign lands. In his quest to conquer nation after nation, Sennacherib sets his sights on Judah, and sends messengers to demand submission and to arrogantly proclaim Judah's impending doom. King Hezekiah turns to the Lord in his time of trouble, and speaks through the prophet Isaiah to bring good news to the king. 2 Kings 17 – 1:08 .  2 Kings 18 – 10:12 .  2 Kings 19 – 19:32 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

When we pray, we bring God's authority, presence, and power into the spiritual battles raging around us—so let's be intentional about our prayers. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the power of praying even very simple prayers to invite God to move in our lives and around the globe. He teaches from Bible passages about King Hezekiah, Peter, and Jesus that demonstrate the difference even a three-word prayer can make and the power our Lord has to save and deliver us. God can do remarkable things for His Kingdom, so inviting Him in through prayer should not be our last resort but our first action.

Part 12 of the series in Isaiah. King Hezekiah is given 15 extra years but shows his treasures to the Babylonians - a parallel of the nation's situation - then we move into a message of comfort and hope with good news emanating from Jerusalem.

2 Kings 18:4 (ESV) - “He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores an important lesson from the reforms of King Hezekiah. What had once been a God-given symbol of faith became an object of worship. The bronze serpent, originally used by God to encourage faith and bring healing, had gradually become something the people honored and revered in place of God Himself. Pastor Sumrall explains that symbols can be helpful reminders of God's work, but they must never take the place of a relationship with Him. Throughout history, people have sometimes become attached to objects, traditions, or experiences that once strengthened their faith, only to elevate them beyond their proper purpose. This Daily Devotion reminds us that our faith must always be centered on God. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Today in our Swords and Thrones series we looked at King Hezekiah and how the patterns we establish reveal who is truly on the throne of our lives, because more is caught than taught.  Is Jesus on the throne of your life, or is He just in the room?  

Join host Soapy Dollar on The Bible Live as he concludes the final chapters of 1 and 2 Chronicles, highlighting the critical dangers of spiritual compromise and the power of finishing well. This episode contrasts the wicked unfaithfulness of King Ahaz with the sweeping national revivals of King Hezekiah, who miraculously defied the Assyrians through absolute faith, and the child-king Josiah, who aggressively uprooted idolatry upon discovering the lost Book of the Law. The journey culminates in the tragic Babylonian invasion and the 70-year exile, illustrating how God remains fiercely faithful to His eternal covenant despite human failure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Excuses, excuses: The Parable of the Banquet St. Luke 14:16-24 & Deuteronomy 20:1-9 by The Rev'd Dr. Matthew Colvin I am often asked about “application” in sermons. “I enjoy a good sermon,” someone will say, “but I need to have application so I know what to do with it.” Well, you will notice that neither Fr. Bill nor I, his understudy, do very much with “application.” The pulpit is not the place to give you “ten steps to a better marriage” or “key principles of childrearing” or “the blueprints to build a Christian business.” Rather, we are concerned with the Biblical story, and we want to apply you to it, so that you read the Bible as your story. When Paul says, “These things happened as examples for us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come,” he means that to follow Jesus, we need to understand ourselves as being part of the story of the people of God. That is why Hebrews 11 gives us the “hall of faith”; it is why Stephen's sermon in Acts 7 sums up the entire history of Israel; it is why, when Peter is telling Christian wives to respect their husbands, he calls them “daughters of Sarah.” We are consistently told to inscribe ourselves into the story of God's people Israel. There is nothing more practical. Indeed, if we do not get this right, no amount of “application” will work. Our lectionary for this morning pairs Deuteronomy's laws about exemption from military service with Jesus' parable of the banquet and the excuses made by those who were invited. It is, if we think about it, a very odd transposition, rather as though military language had found its way into a wedding or some similar occasion: “WILT thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?” “Yes, sir, corporal, SIR. Hoo-ah!” So what is going on here? To understand the parable, we need to think about the nature of banquets and the nature of the excuses. Let's start with the excuses. Verse 20's excuse, “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come” is an allusion to Deuteronomy 24:5. That passage gives the grounds for the exemption of any newly married bridegroom from military service for a year: “that he may bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.” There is here something of the logic of the law against boiling a kid in its mother's milk: in both cases, one must not mix up life and death, joy and sorrow. In verse 18, we should understand “I have bought a field and must go out and see it” to mean that the transaction needs to be complete. It is the “closing” of a real estate purchase, not an inspection at leisure that could just as easily be postponed for another day. Legally, socially, this is a very good excuse. Verse 19's excuse about needing to test “five yoke of oxen” recalls the calling of Elisha by Elijah in 1 Kings 19:19. There, Elisha is actually in the middle of plowing when Elijah throws his mantle over him: “Tag, you're it!” This is an act of sudden investiture. Elisha responds to it with alacrity: “he left the oxen and ran after Elijah” and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” The excuses are such powerful ones that they actually have statutory warrant in Biblical law. Legally, socially, by all the etiquette of ancient Israel, these excuses are golden, unimpeachable, valid. But in the parable, they are not good excuses in the eyes of the host. Who is he? He is introduced as ἄνθρωπός τις, “a certain man.” Immediately, we recall other parables: “A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went in a far country for a long time.” (Mt 21:33) “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.” (Lk. 13:6) “A certain man had two sons.” (Lk. 15:11) “A certain rich man had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.” (Lk. 16:1) There are other instances where “a certain man” is someone else, but this is a pretty good sample of instances where “a certain man” is instantly known to stand for God. The parable, then, shows us God's response to the excuse-makers. Note that the “certain man” operates through servants. God is frequently depicted this way, sending his angels and human prophets to do his bidding and deliver his messages. God's reaction to the refusal of his invitations is anger (ὀργισθείς). This requires some explanation. In Matthew's gospel, the banquet is a wedding feast for a king's son, and the invited guests behave much like the wicked vinedressers: they “lay hold of his servants and treat them violently and kill them.” But Luke's version has a different emphasis. It is less allegorized and is designed rather to highlight the reversal of fortune and the approaching deadline. “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city and bring here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.” — all of them likely to be beggars, likely to smell bad, likely to be shabbily dressed. Precisely the sort of unsightly people one does not want at a banquet, any sort of banquet. They would never have been invited had not the originally invited guests refused. Just as Esau rejected his birthright and Jacob received it; just as the majority of the Jews rejected the Messiah so that the gospel might be preached to the gentiles, so here, as Paul puts it in 1 Corinthians 1:28, “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no flesh might boast in the presence of God.” This is someting God did in history. Unlike every other religion on earth, the Bible makes public claims about events that took place at particular times: “In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against the fortified cities of Judah and took them.” “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.” Or even in our Nicene Creed, where week after week, we make mention of the name of a corrupt Roman official named Pontius Pilate. Contrast the claims of other religions: that Mohammad was out there in the desert and an angel appeared to him and dictated the Quran. That Joseph Smith was guided by an angel named Moroni and found gold plates inscribed with “Reformed Hieroglyphics” which he translated into King James English. That Siddartha Gautama was meditating under a fig tree and became enlightened. The Mary Baker Eddy or L. Ron Hubbard or some other guru has discovered the secrets of the universe. Even in antiquity, the Stoic sage or Epicurus or the philosopher in Plato's Republic is never about history. It is always private revelation or special understanding of timeless truths or the realm of forms or deep insight into nature. By contrast, the assumption of Jesus' parables is that God deals with Israel in time. The invitation to the banquet and the host's angry reaction to the invited guests refusal, and the verdict at the end of the story that “none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet” — all presuppose that Israel is facing a decisive crisis in its history. The invitation to the banquet is the gospel summons to follow the Messiah — and this is appropriate, since Jesus is so frequently shown feasting during his earthly ministry. He feasts so much that he incurs the charge of being a glutton and a winebibber. Everywhere he goes, he feasts. He feasts in the house of the Pharisee named Simon; in the house of a tax collector named Zacchaeus; at a wedding at Cana; in company with immoral women, and with “tax collectors and sinners.” This was unusual even by Jewish standards, so that some come to Jesus and ask him, “The Pharisees and the disciples of John fast a lot, but your disciples do not fast.” Jesus explains that the disciples of Jesus do not fast because the bridegroom is with them. What is the appropriate response to the invitation? What do etiquette and emotional rightness and social expectation dictate? Jesus' words about John's ministry and the Jews' reaction to it, in Luke 7:32, are couched in similar terms: “We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; We mourned to you, and you did not weep.” The refusal to recognize Jesus as the one Israel has been waiting for is like the refusal of the invitation to the feast. It is a rejection of the good ending of the story, a refusal to take part in the consummation. It is as if all the actors walked off the stage of a Shakespeare play after act 4. There are times when we want to describe a process has failed to produce its intended fulfillment and consummation — say, when I am talking to my Greek students who are struggling with Greek grammar and vocabulary. If they never go on to actually read Greek literature, I say it is like “a courtship without a marriage.” This is not about timeless truths or Buddhist spiritual enlightenment. A marriage is a historical event. That is the language that God uses about his relationship with his people. The coming of Jesus is the climax of Israel's story. And to everyone, the invitation poses the stark alternative: either enter into the banquet, or be excluded. Remember the older brother of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15: Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.' But he was angry and refused to go in•. (Luke 15:25–28, ESV) Or we may recall the words of Jesus after he has healed the centurion's servant in Matthew 8:11: I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. (Matthew 8:11–12, ESV) Or there is the parable of the wise and foolish virgins in Matthew 25: And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' (Matthew 25:10–12) Or we may remember what C.S. Lewis calls the “unforgettable words” in John's gospel's account of the Last Supper, once Jesus has handed the sop to Judas and told him, “What you are going to do, do quickly”: So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.  (John 13:30, ESV) It was night. Judas is literally in the outer darkness. To be excluded from the banquet, to be shut out in the darkness, away from the light and joy of the wedding or the feast or the Passover meal, is all the more tragic in light of the fact that those who are excluded are the very ones who had been invited. Jesus “came to his own, and his own did not receive him.” The result is a crucial difference between Judaism and Christianity over the place of Jesus in the story of the people of God. Can you be a Jew and believe in Jesus? It is a silly question. All the original disciples were Jews. As Peter says, “The promise is to you and to your children” and “You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' (Acts 3:25, ESV) But can you follow Rabbinic Judaism and believe that Jesus is the Messiah? That is a different question. The Church places Jesus at the hinge of history, dating our years with the words “Anno Domini” from his first coming and looking forward to his second coming, when he will judge the quick and the dead. Judaism, by contrast, denies that Jesus is the Messiah, and insists that all the passages of Scripture that point to him — the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham, Joseph and his brothers, the suffering servant in Isaiah, “behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel”, Zechariah's “behold your king comes to you, meek and having compassion, lowly and riding on a donkey,” David's beloved son Absalom suspended from a tree and pierced by a spear, and all the rest — are really not about him. Christians say, with Paul, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore, let us keep the feast.” In saying this, we are saying that Christ is the climax of the story. It is the natural function of feasting to mark consummations. Weddings, coronations, graduation, retirements, anniversaries, birthdays — all are marked by parties, cakes, feasting, toasts, ceremony. And that is the difference between Christianity and Judaism: Has the story of Israel reached its climax? Has the bridegroom come? Does history now stand revealed as His story? Or are we, with the Rabbis, in the position of insisting that the messiah has not come, and that the Passover does not point to him. God had promised Moses that “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”  (Deuteronomy 18:18–19, NKJV) And the rabbis say, “Jesus is certainly not the prophet like Moses, but unfortunately he is so much like Moses that we had better delete Moses from the Passover liturgy, lest Christians start using the haggadah to persuade Jews to follow Jesus.” And that is what they have done. David Daube says, “…[T]he figure of Moses, dominating the Biblical narrative of the exodus from Egypt and, naturally, at one time prominent, too, in the celebration of the deliverance on Passover eve, is radically eliminated: in the Passover eve liturgy as it stands, his name is not mentioned once in any of the prayers and recitals woven around the Biblical record, and, more than that, no Biblical passage mentioning it is quoted. It is a fantastic tour de force. Think  what it means. It is as if one were to spend annually a night commemorating Britain's rescue in the Second World War, rehearsing the main course of events as well as telling elaborate stories about them — without once mentioning Churchill. A fantastic tour de force: but there must be no human Mediator. We are left with a religion full of pointers that were designed to lead us to Jesus as the climax of the covenant, but the rabbis insist that they do not; a religion of tabernacle and temple that are all about God dwelling with His people, but now that Jesus has come, and ascended and sent the Holy Spirit, complete with the sound of “a mighty rushing wind that filled the whole house where they sat” just like God moving into the temple of Solomon and the tabernacle of Moses — now, no, the rabbis say, it is not about Jesus. But then, Judaism no longer has a temple, and the entire system that God gave in the Torah does not work without the Temple. The emperor Constantine's grandson, Julian the Apostate, hated Christianity and decided he wanted to prove it false, and the way he decided to do it was by rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem that had been destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecies on the Mount of Olives. Julian died before he could do it. Again, Judaism is a religion whose Scriptures promised the forgiveness of sins, so that God's people could live with him, and that demonstrated, as though by a gigantic show and tell of continual slaughter of animals for centuries, of daily splashing of blood against the altar, of red heifers sacrificed every year on the day of atonement, that the forgiveness of sins would happen through blood. But now, the rabbis tell us, the death of Christ was not the fulfillment of the sacrificial system — and oh, by the way, you can't offer sacrifice anymore, anyway. There are still people named “Cohen” or “Cohn” — my mother in law's family, for instance — but they are more likely to be making movies than sacrificing animals. They continue to set out a cup for Elijah, that forerunner of the Messiah promised in Malachi. And Jesus says, “But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. (Matthew 17:12, NKJV) The church father, Athanasius of Alexandria puts it this way in his On the Incarnation: So the Jews are telling fables, and putting off the time which is actually now… They are suffering like one, maimed in mind, who might see the earth illumined by the sun, but denies the sun which illumines it. For what more has he who is expected by them to do when he comes? Call the Gentiles? But they have already been called. To make prophet and king and vision to cease? This has already happened. To refute the godlessness of idols? It has already been refuted and condemned. To destroy death? It is already destroyed. What then must christ do, which has not been done? Or what is left unfulfilled, that the Jews now rejoice and disbelieve? For if, as we see, they have neither king, nor prophet, nor Jerusalem, nor sacrifice, nor vision, but the whole world is filled with the knowledge of God, and those from the Gentiles are abandoning godlessness, and henceforth taking refuge in the God of Abraham through the Word, our Lord Jesus Christ, it should be clear even to those who are exceedingly obstinate that Christ has come, and that he illumines absolutely all with his light and teaches the true and divine teaching concerning his Father. We are about to partake of Holy Communion, which is rightly understood as a continuation of Jesus' meals with his disciples, and an anticipation of the great wedding feast of the Lamb at which “many will come from east and west and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” The Holy Communion is thus truly the consummation of the story of people of God. By partaking in it, we share in Christ our Passover. We have been crucified with Him, so that we may also share in his resurrection. We locate ourselves in the story of Israel, which is the story of the Messiah. And we recite the shape of the story and inscribe ourselves in it when we say, “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.”

As we read of King Hezekiah's desperate prayer because of the invading and mocking hordes of the Assyrians, it occurred to us that there are today some modern equivalents.  The Assyrian armies had been boasting of their conquests, as we read yesterday in Isaiah 36 – they were sure that Jerusalem would suffer a similar fate.  Deserters must have joined them, for the Assyrians are aware that Hezekiah had removed “the high places” [v.7] at which many of the people liked to worship instead of coming to the Temple.  The Assyrian king makes false claims about what the God of Israel is supposed to have said (v.10). There are parallels to this today in the beliefs of those who read into the Bible things it does not say and who criticise those who remain faithful to what God has caused to be written. In today's chapter (37), we read how the plight of Jerusalem gets worse.  This causes Hezekiah to come to see Isaiah (v.5) and we read of the reassurance the prophet gives the king.   In the same way today, and more so in the days that are coming, we will turn to God's prophets and to the reassurance of the words of his Son and the Apostles.  Hezekiah receives a letter from the Assyrians (v.14) and takes it into the Temple and there prays ….  “O LORD of Hosts … you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.  Incline your ear O LORD, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib which he has sent to mock the living God.” [v.17-18]God does hear, he does see, he does act.  We are about to see a parallel in our days.  Atheists are becoming more blatant and more public in mocking believers and belief in God.  The man Dawkins is one of the worst; many are getting bolder in mocking God and Christianity.  There is much, of course, to be ashamed of in the behaviour of some who claim the name of Christ, such as many Catholic Priests.  Let us pray for God to act in dealing with these mockers. All those who mock or ignore the living God and the Saviour he sent into the world – will really fear when his judgements begin.  We read Peter's message on this today, “The end of all things is at hand: therefore be self-controlled and sober minded … as one who serves by the strength that God supplies…” [1 Pet. 4 v.7,11]  Let us seek as much of this strength that we can – and we know the source!.

What happens when Christianity becomes routine?In this powerful message, Pastor Chris Regan challenges believers to rediscover the awe, wonder, and presence of God. Looking at King Hezekiah and the great revival found in 2 Chronicles 29-30, we see how a generation returned to God, destroyed idols, and experienced a powerful move of His presence. This sermon explores the difference between religion and relationship, why pride blocks spiritual growth, how God desires daily encounters with His people, and practical ways every believer can experience the Holy Spirit beyond Sunday mornings.If you've ever felt spiritually dry, distant from God, or stuck in routine Christianity, this message will challenge and encourage you to pursue Jesus with fresh passion and expectation.

While many interpreters see Isaiah 9:6 as a prediction of the birth of Jesus Christ, in its original context, the passage actually described King Hezekiah. This episode offers five arguments for reading this oracle concerning the Prince of Peace in terms of Hezekiah and his just reign in the 8th century BC.

Brand-new archeological evidence he discovered at Tel ‘Eton in southern Israel supports the biblical case for King Hezekiah's reform. On today's program, host Brent Nagtegaal explains the new evidence in the context of the biblical narrative. https://armstronginstitute.org/1483-new-archaeological-evidence-of-king-hezekiahs-religious-reform

Many people have heard of King David, King Solomon, and even King Hezekiah, but the king who claims the title of having the longest reign, is unfamiliar to most. Today's artifact is a bulla with the name Manasseh inscribed on it. The story of this king is recorded in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles. So, does this bulla support the biblical account? And why is there also an Egyptian symbol on the seal? Tune in to see if this is yet another artifact that has been discovered that supports the accuracy of the Bible.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Are you looking for revival in your life? Does your worship of God feel stale? Jimmy McNeal examines the beginning of King Hezekiah's reign to understand how true revival starts and what it produces in us.

Following God doesn't guarantee an easy path, sometimes life gets harder. This week, we explored how King Hezekiah faithfully led his people back to God, only to face an immediate invasion. Centuries later, Jesus faced a similar trial when the Spirit led Him from His baptism straight into the wilderness to be tempted. 

In this episode of Talk'N Truth, Bryan Clark, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), and guest Caleb White explore one of the most revealing questions of the Christian life—not whether we believe in prayer, but whether our lives actually reflect that belief. Drawing from the story of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings, the conversation centers on a moment when prayer didn't just bring comfort—it changed the course of history. Facing overwhelming odds, Hezekiah turned to God, and what followed was a dramatic, unmistakable answer. But instead of staying in the past, the discussion turns personal. Why do so many believers say prayer matters, yet struggle to pray with expectation? What happens when faith is replaced with fear, frustration, or political obsession? And how should Christians live if they truly believe God is still in control? If you've ever struggled with consistency in prayer, wrestled with doubt, or wondered why your actions don't always match your beliefs, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to take a deeper, more authentic step of faith.

Pastor Andy Cass Trust is one of the most valuable and fragile things we have. It takes years to build and only moments to break. In this message, we look at the life of King Hezekiah and discover practical ways to build healthy, trustworthy relationships through boundaries, listening, honesty, commitment, and confronting sin. Even from broken beginnings, God can build something strong, healing, and lasting. TEXT: 2 Kings 18:1–8; 2 Kings 19:1–7; James 1:19 NOTES: BUILDING TRUST — B.L.O.C.K.

May 3, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   This episode is a deep-dive sermon on the life of King Hezekiah, unpacking why he stands out among the kings of Israel and Judah. Drawing primarily from 2 Chronicles 29–32, 2 Kings 18–20 and Isaiah 36–39, Hiram traces Hezekiah's reforms, his restoration of temple worship and the Passover, his reliance on prayer during the Assyrian crisis, his miraculous extension of life after terminal illness, and the pride that followed his blessings. Listeners will hear five practical takeaways for making a life count: refuse to be bound by your past, make pleasing God your primary aim, capitalize on the privilege of prayer, use your time wisely, and remain humble in blessing. Each point is illustrated with biblical references, historical events from Hezekiah's reign (including Sennacherib's defeat and the Babylonian envoys), and contemporary examples — from cultural references like Jim Carrey to modern analogies such as landline communication and reflections from Bronnie Ware on end‑of‑life regrets. The sermon also includes application and invitation: how Hezekiah's example challenges listeners to change course regardless of family history, prioritize God over popular approval, pray constantly, steward remaining time well, and guard against pride when blessed. The episode closes with a call to repentance, faith in Christ, and opportunities for prayer and baptism for those who want to respond. Duration 35:02

The walls are closing in on King Hezekiah. The Assyrian army stands at Jerusalem's gates, mocking God and threatening destruction. In desperation, Hezekiah runs to the temple while his emissaries seek counsel from Isaiah the prophet. God hears. God answers. And when all hope seems lost, Jesus Himself arrives to defend Jerusalem. In this episode, we explore one of Scripture's most dramatic moments of deliverance and what it reveals about the God who fights for His people.

Spiritual and psychological attack is a fact of life for every believer. In the life of King Hezekiah, we see a strong response: Doing what is right in the Lord's sight, tearing down "idols" and clinging to the Lord in faith. The Lord responds to that with His presence and power. But it will also invite internal and external opposition, seeking to undermine God's Word, character and promises. But when we cry out to the Lord, He answers and protects us from the attack, giving us victory.  Video of this service is also available:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fTBy16DB-s&t=2758s

2 Chronicles 18–29 shows the rise and fall of kings who either followed God or turned away from Him. Through battles, warnings from prophets, judgment, and revival, the message stays the same: obedience to God brings blessing, while pride and rebellion lead to destruction. King Hezekiah's revival in chapter 29 reminds us that it's never too late to return to the Lord and restore what's been broken.Read the WHOLE Bible with me! Subscribe so you don't miss an episode.

Choosing Faith Over Fear: The Example of King HezekiahWhen impending doom arrives at your doorstep, what is your first move? In this session, we contrast the legacy of two kings: Ahaz, who sought help from the world, and his son Hezekiah, who chose to rely solely on the faithfulness of God.We look at the moment Hezekiah received a letter of threat from the Assyrian army and, instead of panicking, literally laid it out before the Lord in the temple. We also explore Hezekiah's personal battle with illness and how his immediate recourse was prayer. Whether you are facing a "Sennacherib" in your professional life or a personal health battle, this message is a reminder that God is faithful to give us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it.Key Highlights:The Legacy of Choice: Comparing the fear-based decisions of King Ahaz with the faith-based leadership of Hezekiah.The Power of Prayer: How one man laying a letter before God resulted in a supernatural victory over 185,000 men.A Personal Testimony: Finding God's faithfulness in the midst of a battle with leukemia.Wants vs. Needs: Realizing that God's timing and provision are perfect, even when they don't align with our immediate desires.Key Scriptures:2 Kings 18 & 19 – The account of King Hezekiah and the Assyrian invasion.2 Kings 20 – Hezekiah's illness and the 15-year promise.Isaiah 38 – Getting your house in order and the power of prayer.#KingHezekiah #FaithOverFear #BiblicalLeadership #PowerOfPrayer #GodIsFaithful #ScriptureStudy #TrustingGod0:00 - Intro: The Best Part of the Day0:14 - King Ahaz vs. King Hezekiah: A Contrast in Faith0:53 - Sennacherib and the Assyrian Threat1:17 - Laying the Letter Before the Lord1:37 - The Reality of the Spiritual Realm: 185,000 Defeated1:53 - Hezekiah's Illness: "Get Your House in Order"2:07 - The Prayer for Healing and the 15-Year Promise2:22 - The Choice: Do We Believe God is Who He Says He Is?2:38 - Real Reliance: Applying the Word to Personal Struggles2:50 - Faith in the Battle: A Personal Testimony with Leukemia3:00 - God's Provision: What We Need vs. What We Want3:10 - Closing: God is Good

In 701 BCE, Assyrian king Sennacherib launched his western campaign against Judah, bringing him into direct conflict with King Hezekiah and the political counsel of the prophet Isaiah. The decisive field battle of that year was not at Jerusalem, but at Eltekeh, where Assyrian troops defeated an Egyptian and Kushite force sent to support the rebellious Philistine city of Ekron.This episode reconstructs the full 701 campaign from Assyrian annals and biblical accounts, beginning with the minor 702 operations in the Zagros mountains against Zamua, Parsua, and Ellipi, then following Sennacherib to the Phoenician coast. We cover the flight of Luli, king of Tyre, to Cyprus, the installation of Itobaal at Sidon, and the submission of eight Levantine rulers from Ashdod, Byblos, Ammon, Moab, Edom, and Arwad.We then turn to Philistia: the internal coup at Ashkelon, the Ekronite revolt that handed King Padi over to Hezekiah, and Sennacherib's restoration of Padi after the victory at Eltekeh. The episode explains why Jerusalem faced only a blockade rather than a full siege, examines Isaiah's advice against an Egyptian alliance, and considers the logistical, political, and possible epidemiological reasons Sennacherib withdrew with massive tribute but without taking the city.Music from the show: oldeststories.net/music (or search "Oldest Stories Music")Support the show:Books: https://a.co/d/7Wn4jhSDonate: oldeststories.netPatreon / YouTube members get bonus episodes: patreon.com/JamesBleckleyNo-AI readings of ancient texts: youtube.com/@osnightreading

King Hezekiah didn't inherit a legacy of faith—he inherited a mess. His father, Ahaz, led Judah deep into idolatry, even turning good things—like the bronze serpent from Book of Numbers 21—into objects of worship. But Hezekiah refuses to follow that path. From the very beginning of his reign, he takes bold, decisive action to turn the nation back to the Lord. In this episode, discover what it looks like to lead with conviction, tear down what's corrupt, and pursue true faith in the face of a broken past.

In this episode, we walk through the life of King Hezekiah and uncover a sobering truth: even the most faithful can fall when pride quietly takes root. Through Scripture in 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, and Isaiah, we see how success, influence, and blessing can become dangerous if we stop giving God the glory. But this isn't just a warning, it's an invitation. God always provides a remedy. If you've been given a second chance, the question is: what are you doing with it?

In 2 Chronicles 30, King Hezekiah invites all Israel and Judah to return to the Lord by celebrating the Passover in Jerusalem. Though the celebration happens later than prescribed and many people are not ceremonially prepared, Hezekiah intercedes for them, asking the Lord to pardon those whose hearts are set on seeking Him. God listens, heals the people, and turns a delayed and imperfect gathering into a joyful celebration unlike anything Jerusalem had seen since the days of Solomon. This episode reflects on the grace and mercy of God toward those who humble themselves and return to Him. Curtis and Sally discuss how Hezekiah's leadership reveals a pattern of calling people back to God, praying for them, encouraging them, and celebrating with them. Even when many mocked the invitation, God gave His people one heart to worship Him. The chapter reminds us that it is never too late to seek the Lord, and that God delights in healing, restoring, and uniting His people in joy.

Do you react… or do you respond? When life hits hard, when fear creeps in, or when the enemy attacks your mind, most people react without thinking. But Scripture shows us a better way. In this episode, we walk through a powerful biblical strategy from the life of King Hezekiah that teaches you how to respond with faith, clarity, and authority instead of fear and emotion. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, or spiritually attacked, this episode will give you practical steps you can actually follow.

What if success is the very thing that causes you to drift from God?

Christianity today is diverse. When you think about it, there should only be one version of the Gospel, and it should be entirely based upon the Bible as a whole, specifically the words and actions of Jesus as well as the words and actions of his apostles and disciples in the New Testament. In many cases, the Gospel has unfortunately been reduced to a wide variety of denominations and beliefs that often contradict one another. One area of this divergence has to do with the gift of healing and speaking in tongues in the Bible. Many Christians today believe these two spiritual gifts continue today, and many Christians believe they ceased a long time ago. Who's right, and how do we know? In this first part of a two‑episode series, we take a thoughtful journey through Scripture to understand whether Christians today can genuinely heal or speak in tongues. We begin our conversation by stepping back into the Old Testament to uncover the foundation God laid long before Jesus' ministry began. What emerges is a clear pattern: biblical healing and the use of foreign languages were never random miracles. They were purposeful signs—each revealing something about God's sovereignty, His plan and His chosen messengers. Old Testament: Healings By exploring several Old Testament healings, from Abimelech's household to the Shunammite woman, Naaman, and King Hezekiah, we find that account highlights that healing was rare, deeply intentional, and always tied to God's authority or the advancement of His plan. These moments set the stage for the dramatic shift that occurs when Jesus arrives, bringing healing on a scale never before seen. His compassion, power and fulfillment of prophecy reveal healing as a sign pointing unmistakably to the Messiah. Old Testament: Speaking in Tongues The conversation then turns to the surprising Old Testament roots of speaking in tongues. Through the Tower of Babel, Deuteronomy and Isaiah, we see how foreign languages originally signaled God's disfavor and judgment. But at Pentecost, everything changes. The same sign that once scattered now gathers. The same confusion that once divided now draws people toward the gospel. Speaking in tongues becomes a powerful, unmistakable sign for unbelievers that God's favor has arrived through Jesus and the outpouring of the holy spirit. This episode lays the essential groundwork for Part II, where the New Testament gifts will be examined in greater detail.  Key Takeaways Old Testament healings were rare and always served a larger divine purpose. Jesus' healing ministry fulfilled prophecy and revealed God's sovereignty in a new way. In the Old Testament, foreign tongues were a sign of God's disapproval and judgment. At Pentecost, tongues became a sign of God's favor, enabling the gospel to reach all nations. Understanding the Old Testament foundation is essential for interpreting New Testament gifts today.

Prophets played an important role in the kingdoms of Israel. Their responsibility was to relay God's word to the leaders and people. Often this looked like calling out the ways in which the people had strayed from following God's direction. Micah's words were often unpalatable for this reason. Political leaders didn't like him, but when they did listen, as King Hezekiah did it resulted in blessing. Our problem is when success and power go unchecked, we begin to use people instead of serve them. God used crisis in Hezekiah's life to expose his pride and invite him to repent before impending judgement. Our response should be to invite truth, examine our pride, and respond quickly with humility to the Spirit's conviction.

If I told you I'm a nurse, you know you could come to me for health advice.  If I told you I'm a dentist, you know you could come to me for your teeth.  If I told you I'm an accountant, you know you could come to me for your taxes.  If I told you I'm a banker, you know you could come to me for a loan.  If I told you I'm a travel agent, you know you could come to me for your vacation plans.  Who I tell you that I am directly tells you what could expect of me. So, when God tells us he is something specific, we know specifically what we can come to him for.  This is what we're learning in the names of God. How sweet for God to tell us he is our HEALER.  What do you come to a healer for?  HEALING, my friend.  Yes, healing of your body – but more – healing of your entire being. Restoration of what has been broken. A healed mind that is damaged. Renewed peace where anxiety has taken root. Mending of strained relationships. Softening of a hardened heart. Comfort for a hurting heart. This is what God can heal – Your body, your heart, your mind, your family, your relationships, your circumstances.  God is the great healer, you can call him Yahweh Rapha. Exodus 15:26, God announces to his people, “For I am the LORD who heals you.”  LORD is in all caps so we know the original spoken word of God was his name YHWH, and heals is Rapha.  In Hebrew, I am Yahweh Rapha. Rapha means to heal, restore, make whole and repair.  If our God is Yahweh Rapha, we know we can come to him for healing, restoration, wholeness and repair in every way. Notice precisely where God speaks these words, because it's only spoken one time in scripture, then displayed hundreds of times in action. Exodus 15 comes at a critical time for God's people, the Israelites.  They have been rescued from captivity in Egypt and set free.  They have been supernaturally protected and guided right through the parting of the Red Sea, then turned around and watched their enemies be swallowed by the sea.  And now they're walking through an unknown wilderness and dying of thirst.  They have gone 3 days without water.  This is the limit of a human body in these harsh, hot conditions. They finally find a small body of water, in this desert, but can you believe the water is bitter and undrinkable.  Moses seeks God for help and God gives Moses a solution that turns the bitter water sweet, and the people are saved by having water to drink in their wilderness.  And THIS is exactly where God introduces himself as Yahweh Rapha, the Lord who heals you.  Here where God turned what was unbearably bitter into sweetness to not only satisfy but to save.  God restored what had been corrupted.  The water was corrupted with bitterness, but he restored it to sweetness with his healing touch. This is where Yahweh Rapha meets us – in the bitterness we find unbearable, and he turns it sweet. Oh what a threat bitterness was to God's people there in the wilderness – and what a threat bitterness continues to be for us, his girls on our own journeys.  Life has a way of being bitter sometimes.  It stings.  It stinks.  It disappoints.  And through it all, our hearts grow hardened, we become guarded, and bitterness creeps in.  Yahweh Rapha wants to heal that! Now, God reveals specifically how this healing is going to take place.  Back up and read the beginning of Exodus 15:26, “IF YOU will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, THEN I WILL not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”  God is saying your healing will not come through a transaction, but through a relationship with me.  A relationship where we have a role and he has a role.  Our role is trust and obey him – his role is to bring healing. Walk with God and you will live different.  Live different and you will be healed.  Healed of what?  The very things that threaten your being with bitterness.  We're talking your entire body, but also those emotional wounds, your past trauma, your anxiety, your broken identity, your shame, your regret …. Anything that has become bitter in you, Yahweh Rapha restores. God could have given his people new water there in the wilderness.  He could have rained down water from heaven at that very moment.  He could have supernaturally quenched their thirst in some other unfathomable manner.  But that's not what God did.  God addressed what was bitter and he healed it.  He changed the nature of the water and transformed it from bitter to sweet.  And if God can do that with a pond of nasty water in a wilderness, don't you know he can do that with your heart, with your mind, with your family and with every other threat of bitterness in your life? Yes, God could bring something totally new, but Yahweh Rapha heals what already is and transforms the existing to health again. My friend, where has life turned bitter for you?  Where have you swallowed a hard pill and don't understand why it has to be this way?  Where have you settled into dysfunction or disappointment, all while a little piece of you is dying?  Yahweh Rapha wants to heal that bitterness for you.  He wants to bring a sweetness back to your life.  That's what he does, so now you know that's what you can call on him for. God, heal your girls.  Heal our wounds.  Heal our brokenness.  Heal our bodies.  Heal our minds.  Heal our families.  Bring a sweetness back to what has grown bitter. Let me show you 3 specific places the word rapha is used in scripture so we can see the work of our Yahweh Rapha. • Psalm 147:3, “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”  The Hebrew word for heal here is rapha.  This is literally the work of Yahweh Rapha, healing those broken hearts and bandaging up the wounds of life hitting hard.  He wants to do that for you. • Hosea 14:4, The LORD says, “Then I will heal you of your faithlessness; my love will know no bounds, for my anger will be gone forever.”  Again, this word translated heal here is rapha.  The work of Yahweh Rapha is to heal us of every way we have struggled to be faithful.  Of every wayward wandering, God heals us.  His love meets us right where we are and changes that bitter root within us to be sweet.  And guess what, God isn't angry about the work he does in you either.  Yahweh Rapha loves to heal you and restore you and make you right again. • In 2 Kings 20, we read about King Hezekiah becoming deathly ill.  God has told him to get ready because he is for sure dying and will not recover.  But Hezekiah prays and says, “Remember, O LORD, how I have always been faithful to you and have served you single-mindedly, always doing what pleases you.”  Hezekiah breaks down and cries, begging God.  And this is wild, but check it out – Verse 5, God then says, “I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.  I will heal (rapha) you, and 3 days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.  I will add 15 years to your life!”  Verse 7, “Hezekiah recovered!”  This is the miraculous healing work of Yahweh Rapha, the Lord who heals you. Let's be clear, if Yahweh Rapha can do that for King Hezekiah, a man most definitely dying, then Yahweh Rapha can do that for you too.  If you are sick, what should you do?  ASK HIM!  Just as Hezekiah did.  Bring your real emotion, your honest plea and ask for the healing touch of Yahweh Rapha. He is the LORD who restores every part of you – spirit, soul, body, family, and everything surrounding you.  Nothing stays broken in his hands.  He uses it for good.  He restores bitterness to sweetness.  He adds life. While we only see God speak of being Yahweh Rapha one time in scripture, we see proof of his healing power throughout the Bible, in the testimonies of real lives all around us, and I bet even in your own life.  Has Yahweh Rapha done his healing work in your body – in your mind – in your family – in your circumstances?  Has he turned something bitter to absolute sweetness for you?  Look closely, you will see the fingerprints of Yahweh Rapha – he is still working. And no doubt, he's not done working.  He still brings healing. If you need healing in your life in any way, call on him by name.  Yahweh Rapha, I now know what you do, so I know what call on you for and what to trust you with.  Here's my brokenness, here's my sickness, here's my disappointment, here's every bitter thing in my life – will you touch me with your sweet healing?

April 24, 2026Today's Reading: Introit for Easter 4 - Psalm 66:3, 5, 8-9; antiphon: Psalm 66:1-2Daily Lectionary: Exodus 39:32-40:16; Luke 8:22-39“Come and see what God has done.” (Psalm 66:5) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. King Hezekiah is the best king Judah had since David (2 Kings 18:1-3). Like David, he fights the Philistines. He expands Judah's land and he restores true worship (spelled: F-A-I-T-H) by getting rid of the “high places” forbidden in Deuteronomy 12:10-14. He smashes the Asherah pillars and crushes the bronze serpent of Moses, to which Judah burned incense (2 Kings 18:4).  However, the mighty Assyrians under Sennacherib are on the move. Judah faces the same fate as the Northern Kingdom. In the “fourteenth year” of King Hezekiah (Isaiah 36:1 – a clue that suggests the events of Isaiah 36-39 are similar to Passover – see Leviticus 23:5), the Assyrians taunt the Jerusalemites by contending that they should not expect Hezekiah or the LORD to save them.  Why? Because no gods have been able to stand against Assyria! Sounds like Pharaoh, “Who is the LORD?” (Exodus 5:2). Hezekiah takes the derisive letter into the temple and spreads it before the LORD. He asks God to hear the Assyrian blasphemies Assyrians and defend Himself. “So now, O LORD our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O LORD, are God alone,” (2 Kings 19:19; also Isaiah 36:18-20; 37:1-10). The LORD humbles the gods of Assyria (Isaiah 37:21-29) just as He did with the gods of Egypt (Exodus 12:12). The “angel of death” passes through the Assyrian camp by night and slaughters 185,000 of them (Isaiah 37:36; cf. Exodus 12:23).  Isaiah 38 tells the story of Hezekiah's illness and recovery. Hezekiah offers a psalm of thanksgiving (38:19-20). The “angel of death” slaughtered the Assyrians but passed over Hezekiah. In a sense, Judah has experienced a new Passover or a Passover 2.0 with the angel of death delivering her – this time from the Assyrians. No wonder Psalm 66, first written because of what we have just reviewed, exhorts the people of the Old Testament or any Christian to “come and see what God has done.” And to give “him glorious praise.” King Hezekiah sure did!  We pray this psalm in response to the greater exodus (Luke 9:31) that the LORD Jesus did for us and for our salvation when He suffered (including all the mockery), died, and rose on the third day. He crushed the enemy Satan's head. He achieved and accomplished our salvation through the shedding of His blood from His crucified body. On the night when He was betrayed, during the context of a Passover meal, Jesus instituted His Supper, by which He gives us His crucified, risen, and ascended Body and Blood to eat and drink, with the promise that all our sins are forgiven (Matthew 26:26-28). Jesus is God FOR YOU! In the Lord's Supper, “come and see what God has done for you” and gives you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. LORD Jesus Christ. Thank you for saving me on the cross. I trust You. Amen.

In this episode of Arise+Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on 2 Chronicles 29:18–36 and the restoration of the temple under King Hezekiah. After years of neglect and unfaithfulness under King Ahaz, the temple is cleansed, purified, and reopened for worship. What follows is a beautiful picture of repentance, sacrifice, praise, and wholehearted return to the Lord. They explore the significance of Hezekiah's leadership—not only restoring the physical temple, but seeking spiritual restoration for all of Israel, not just Judah. His desire for national repentance reveals a heart aligned with God's purposes rather than personal ambition. They also discuss how Hezekiah chose to follow the example of King David rather than repeat the destructive patterns of his father, reminding us that we all must decide which examples we will follow in our own lives. This episode is a reminder that repentance opens the door for restoration, and God is ready to move quickly when His people return to Him. No matter what has been neglected, broken, or shut down in our lives, the Lord is eager to restore relationship with those who turn back to Him.

In this episode of Arise+Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on 2 Chronicles 29:3–17, where King Hezekiah begins his reign with a bold act of spiritual restoration: reopening and cleansing the temple of the Lord. After generations of neglect and defilement under King Ahaz, Hezekiah calls the priests and Levites back to their God-given purpose—purity, worship, and faithful service. Together, they explore how Hezekiah's leadership models repentance as an active process, not merely sorrow over sin but a deliberate turning back to God through obedience, surrender, and covenant renewal. The temple cleansing, completed in sixteen days, becomes a powerful picture of the faithful and often gradual work of restoration in our own lives. Curtis highlights the encouragement found in the fact that renewal was a process that required perseverance, while Sally reflects on God's faithfulness to meet His people when they return to Him with sincere hearts. This conversation invites listeners to consider the places in their own lives where God may be calling them back to wholehearted worship, faithful obedience, and trust in His promises. Be encouraged today: even when restoration takes time, God is faithful to complete the work of renewal when we respond in repentance.

The sermon centers on the transformative power of trusting God in every area of life, drawing from Jeremiah 17:7–8 and 2 Kings 18 to contrast the barrenness of misplaced trust in human strength or worldly security with the fruitfulness and stability of trusting in the Lord. It emphasizes that true trust is not merely a one-time decision for salvation but a daily reliance on God's sovereignty, especially in times of crisis, as exemplified by King Hezekiah's response to the Assyrian threat through prayer, humility, and reliance on God's prophet. The message warns against the emptiness of self-reliance and worldly confidence, illustrated by the metaphor of a dry, lifeless heath, while affirming that those rooted in God are sustained through drought and storm, bearing fruit even in hardship. Ultimately, it calls believers to examine their hearts, to turn to God in prayer and community during trials, and to find rest and strength in Him alone, knowing that His control transcends all circumstances, whether personal, economic, or national.

The Fall of Judah might not be something we think we need to know much about, but the history behind 2 Kings 24 helps us connect the dots with much of the Old Testament. So, please join us for a weighty study in this chapter and the history that surrounds it! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    The podcast mentioned that behind the scenes, there were three nations/empires that were vying for dominance over this region. Who were those nations? How do you think their power would have impacted Judah's view of herself and her situation? 2.    The podcast explained that although Judah officially fell to Babylon in 586 BC, her fall was the final culmination of a series of events that began in 609 BC. What happened then and who was the true ruler in Judah from 609 to 605 BC?  3.    The podcast refers to the Book of Jeremiah for the backstory on King Jehoiakim. What events took place in King Jehoiakim's life in Jeremiah 22, 26 and 36? What do those events show us about King Jehoiakim's view of the Lord and His prophets? Why would this have been a problem for those who were seeking the Lord's protection? 4.    The podcast also mentions that although King Jehoiakim paid stiff fines to Egypt, Jeremiah 22 lets us know that he was raising taxes on the people of Judah for another purpose. What was that purpose and how would this have further embittered the people against him?  5.    The podcast mentions the Battle of Charchmish in 605 BC as being one of the most important extra-biblical events from this time. What happened in that battle and who was the victor? (Feel free to look it up online) How did that change the geopolitical landscape of the region?  6.    After the Battle of Charchemish, what happened to the control of the Egyptian and Assyrian controlled regions? How would that have affected Judah (considering that she was under Egyptian control at that point)? 7.    After the death of King Jehoiakim, his son Jehoiakim became king. What does he do with Babylon in verse 11? How does Nebuchadnezzar respond in verses 12-14?  8.    In verse 17, who did Nebuchadnezzar install as king? What light does Ezekiel 1:2 on how the people viewed his rule (as mentioned in the podcast)?  9.    Look up the following assessment of these final kings of Judah: 2 Kings 32:32, 2 Kings 23:37, 2 Kings 24:9, 2 Kings 24:19. What is the common thread between these kings? How do you think this thread affected the Lord's protection of His people?  10.    Look up the following assessment of these final events: 2 Kings 24:2, 2 Kings 24:3, 2 Kings 24:13, 2 Kings 24:20. Whose hand was behind these events? What does this tell us about the underlying reason for Judah's downfall? Why did it happen? How could it have been prevented?  11.    Think about the decisions of these final kings and the actions of King Hezekiah only five chapters earlier. How were these situations similar to what Hezekiah faced? How were their reactions different from Hezekiah's? What was the final outcome? What principles can we learn about how to handle difficult situations? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Today in History: Messiah rose from the dead during the night, “on the third day.” Afterwards, he appeared to his disciples (see Luke 24). An Omer of barley was waved in the Holy Temple as firstfruits of the harvest (see Leviticus 23:10–11). In the days of King Hezekiah, the rededication of the first Holy Temple was finished (see 2 Chronicles 29:17). * It is customary among the Jewish people, since ancient times, to double the festival sabbath (yom tov) outside Israel.This week's portion is called Pesach (Passover)TORAH PORTION: Leviticus 22:26–23:44HAFTARAH: 2 Kings 23:1–9, 21–25APOSTLES: Mark 16:1–14How does the Haftarah connect to this week's Torah Portion?How do the Apostles connect to this week's Torah Portion?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Have you ever heard the saying that partial obedience is disobedience? In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to be fully surrendered in your faith and your business — and confronting the "high places" we've left standing and how these are idols holding back our businesses. Drawing from 1 and 2 Kings, we explore the pattern of kings who followed God but stopped short of full obedience. Sound familiar? As ambitious, faith-driven women in business, we do the same thing — and it's costing us. In This Episode: What "high places" are and why they matter for your business today The biblical kings who got it right — and what set them apart How money, comparison, and chasing rooms can become modern-day idols Why partial obedience is still disobedience How God provides in ways we cannot see or comprehend Scripture References: 2 Kings 18 — King Hezekiah removes the high places 2 Kings 22 — King Josiah's full obedience 2 Kings 3 — King Joram's partial obedience 2 Kings 12 — King Joash does right, yet the high places remain 1 Samuel 8 — Israel demands a king, wanting to be like other nations 1 Kings 17 — Elijah, the ravens, and the widow; God's unexpected provision Genesis 3 — Adam, Eve, and the original high place Key Takeaway: When God's people obey Him fully, they are invincible. He doesn't just provide in addition — He provides in multiplication. The question isn't whether God can provide. The question is whether you're willing to knock down everything standing in your way of full obedience. This Week's Challenge: Take time to reflect: What are the high places that you haven't knocked down yet? Send me a DM or email and let me know — I'd love to walk through this with you. Coming up next: We kick off the annual Money Matters series — one of the high places we get real and honest about as Christian women in business. You don't want to miss it! God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual.

Today in History: The priests entered the First Temple to cleanse it during King Hezekiah's time (see 2 Chronicles 29:17). “Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they entered the porch of the LORD. Then they consecrated the house of the LORD in eight days, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.”This week's portion is called Tsav (Command)TORAH PORTION: Leviticus 8:14–21GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 8:40–56What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

“About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to visit him. He gave the king this message: ‘This is what the Lord says: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness.’” (2 Kings 20:1 NLT) Over the years, I’ve done a lot of funerals and memorial services. I’ve also visited people who were at death’s door. I can tell you that when life comes to an end, there are three things that really matter: faith, family, and friends. Of number one importance is your faith, your relationship with God. I’ve heard countless people say with deep regret, “I wish I’d spent more time walking closely with God. I wish I’d made more time for spiritual things.” They recognize that they will have to stand before God Almighty and answer for the choices they made and the things they prioritized. How sad it is when people realize that they have squandered their lives. The second-most important priority is your family. It’s a hard thing to get to the end of your life and say, “I wish I’d been a better father” or “I wish I’d been a better mother.” You won’t be concerned about how much money you made or how many possessions you ended up with. You won’t care whether you spent enough time at the office or whether you got enough promotions. Neither your financial portfolio nor your résumé will transfer to Heaven. What matters is the people you leave behind—your spouse, kids, siblings. What matters is whether you fulfilled your God-given responsibilities to them. Whether you gave them the choicest morsels of your time and attention. Whether you live in a way that will inspire, encourage, and guide them when you’re gone. The third-most important priority is friends. Hebrews 10:24 says, “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works” (NLT). The Lord surrounds us with people not just so they can keep us company. Every relationship gives us an opportunity to lift someone up, to be a source of motivation and encouragement, to help that person reach their God-given potential. Realizing at the end of life that we squandered such a precious opportunity is a bitter pill to swallow. When King Hezekiah was close to death, the prophet Isaiah told him, “Set your affairs in order” (2 Kings 20:1 NLT). In other words, prioritize the things that are truly important. His words should resonate with all of God’s people. The reality is that none of us knows for sure how much longer we have to live. But we know what our priorities must be. And as long as we draw breath, we have the opportunity to live those priorities, to pour ourselves into our faith, family, and friends. To make a genuine difference in those areas so that we have no regrets when we find ourselves in King Hezekiah’s position. Are your affairs in order today?
