Too Good to be True

September 21, 2024 • Tim Cain • 2 Kings 7

Sometimes, what makes God’s promises seem difficult to believe is how big they are. In the midst of terrible loss, it can be hard to believe that God has a plan to use even loss for our ultimate good. In the midst of deep loneliness, it can be difficult to believe that God is with us, and in the midst of inexcusable failure, it can be hard to fathom that he continues to enjoy loving us. These are some big promises, and in this passage, we will consider some different ways that people respond to things they consider too good to be true.

Eyes Wide Open to the Promises, Presence, and Power of God

August 31, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • 2 Kings 6:8–23

Summary: Sin is a failure to believe in God's promises to us, God's presence with us, and God's power for us. When we fail to believe the gospel, we blindly give into the temptations to grasp for control, to be lured away by the enticements of the world, or to give into fear and despair. And so, the constant refrain of scripture is to repent and believe the gospel - to turn away from that which has stolen our gaze and to fix our eyes of faith once again upon Jesus so that we might see with a right perspective.
