Lesson 5 - Jehoshaphat … When We Don’t Know What to Do

In the Word with Michele Telfer

Lesson 5 - Jehoshaphat … When We Don’t Know What to Do

2 Chronicles 17:1–13, 2 Chronicles 18:1–19

2 Chronicles 17:1-13; 18:1-19:2 & 20:1-30. Jehoshaphat is one of the good kings in Israel’s history and yet he was not perfect. He made mistakes and wandered from God’s path, but in times of distress Jehoshaphat cried out to God and the Lord answered in the most remarkable ways.

Lesson 1 - Abraham - Following God in a Stop-and-Start Kind of Way

Genesis 22:1–14

Selected Scriptures and Genesis 22:1-14. Abraham didn't always look like the hero of the faith we see mentioned in Hebrews 11. His poor decisions sometimes got him into trouble; and yet God continued to refine Abraham, bringing him to the point of being able to trust Him completely.

Lesson 2 - Joshua - Remembering God

Exodus 17:8–16, Joshua 1:6, Joshua 1:7, Joshua 1:9

Exodus 17:8-16, Joshua 1:6,7 & 9 and Joshua 3:2-4:7. Joshua was able to act in faith because he had come to know God as the One who keeps His promises. Joshua knew the Lord remains faithful from generation to generation in the face of battles, loss and unexpected challenges. God longs for us to see that same glimpse of His grace too!

Lesson 3 - Rahab - No One is Too Far for God to Reach

Joshua 2:1-24 and Joshua 6:1-25. The Story of Rahab proves that it doesn’t matter where we’ve come from or what we’ve done. Nothing disqualifies us from salvation except unbelief.
