2 Kings 22:1-20
King Josiah was a godly king even in a time when the people of Israel led lives of dissolution. The story of his re-discovery of the laws of Moses and his response to being confronted by God’s truth gives us much to think about in our own lives.

2 Kings 21
In the days of Judah’s evil King Manasseh, the people of God came to worship and behave just like the unbelievers around them. They failed to be the “light to the nations” that God called them to be, and their failure could not be ignored by God. But this terrible period in the history of God’s people has a message for us: there is hope for the worst of the worst among us, even when the worst of the worst happens.

1 Kings 11:1-13
For all his wisdom, wealth and celebrity, King Solomon had a heart that was divided. Our lives today are not so different. We may not be wealthy kings and queens, but in a modern world of unfettered autonomy we are often faced with the same spiritual challenges. Even with everything at his fingertips, Solomon was left with what he called “meaninglessness.” We will use the truths in his story to find deeper meaning instead.

1 Samuel 18:5-10
When we place our security in anything except God, everything falls apart. King Saul could have been the greatest of the kings of Israel, but instead he was destroyed by his own insecurity. In this sermon series, Pastor Stephen will help us as we uncover the good, the bad and the ugly of the kings of Israel and how their stories intersect with our lives today.
