As our series in 2 Kings approaches its pointy end, we see two kings contrasted against each other: Manasseh & Josiah. The first was one of the worst, the second was one of the best. And yet, not even Josiah – for all his amazing reform – could stay God’s hand of judgement against the sins of his people. What we need is a king who is like Josiah but better: absorbing the wrath of God in our place.

After a glowing appraisal, we hear a couple of stories of Hezekiah’s life where we’re wondering how he’s gained such a status of “the faithful king.” The question over these stories is: Will he be like his father Ahaz, or like his (great-great-great grand) father David?

In this dark chapter, we hear about Ahaz following after the other nations and other gods in their idolatry, and God exiling Israel from the land. In this talk, Sam helps us think about how we might have this same tendency in ourselves, and how we can check our hearts in their worship of Christ.

After God appoints Jehu to be his assassin, 2 Kings almost seems to turn into a Tarantino film. After years of patience, God finally steps in through Jehu to defeat all those who have been railing against him and his people. This raises a lot of hard questions about God’s judgement. But whilst facing these questions alongside the peace that Christ provides, Mitch helps us to see God’s plan in this passage.

After spending a few years journeying through the books of Samuel & Kings as a church, this is the end of the stories in the kings of Israel. In this talk, Philip opens our new series by exploring stories of life & death in God’s history of his people, as we watch God’s words being fulfilled through a new prophet – Elisha – whom God raises up to speak truth to power.

In the final talk on Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses three images to help us grasp how we can enter his Kingdom: a gate; a tree; a foundation.

There are all sorts of things that can compete for our attention or affection. But Jesus wants to make sure we have a rock-solid relationship with our Heavenly Father. Therefore, he gives us the remedy to worry, so that we can focus on God clearly and be shaped by the concerns of his Kingdom alone.
