Visiting pastor Kevin Harney leads us through the reign of King Josiah. The writer of 2 Kings says, “Neither before nor after Josiah was there a king like him who turned to the Lord as he did” (2 Kings 23.25a). Kevin shares five truths that help us see how we can use Josiah’s life as a model to pursue God.

Calvin College Professor Gary Burge leads us through the reign of King Hezekiah. Hezekiah guided God’s people in the midst of a significant crisis. The major world power of the day, the Assyrians were sweeping through the Middle East. How Hezekiah navigates the crisis shows us three important areas where we can grow through a crisis in our life.
King Uzziah
July 23, 2017 • Bob King
East Paris Campus Pastor Bob King takes us through the reign of King Uzziah. Uzziah was the longest reigning “good king,” taking the throne at the age of 16. Because of one thing, Uzziah enjoyed incredible success: he sought God. However, we also see a major turning point in his life that led to a surprising end to his story. Uzziah’s story teaches us a really important lesson about how to respond to our success and when we are challenged.
Asa
July 16, 2017 • Aaron Buer
Pastor of Student Ministries Aaron Buer takes us through King Asa’s rule in 2 Chronicles. Asa inherits a tenuous kingdom fraught with idol worship. How he responds to the different events of his reign highlights five important practices to grow our faith. These practices show how Asa manages to resist the magnetic pull of the culture around him. They help us see how to live for God in a world drawing us in the other direction. His life is also a warning that starting strong doesn’t always mean we will finish well.
