    Hezekiah was an interesting fellow. On one hand, he was faithful and he trusted God. On the other hand, when given the opportunity to bring glory to God, he chose, instead, to bring glory to himself, with tragic consequences.

    March 04, 2023 Like Israel, Judah had 20 rulers: 19 kings and 1 queen. 12 were unfaithful - 3 had mixed results – only 5 did right. We begin today with the death of Ahaziah at the hand of Jehu.

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context?
