The Wayward Heart of Man, A Study in 2 Kings

The Revived Heart

December 22, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we conclude our study in 2 Kings with a look at 2 Kings 22-23 and the last good king of Judah, King Josiah. Read 2 Kings 21:1-9 and take a look at what King Manasseh did to lead Israel away from God then read the text and consider the steps Josiah took to lead Israel to revival. How can we enact these in our own lives to bring revival in our hearts?

A Tested Heart

December 15, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we will see Hezekiah's heart for the Lord being tested when the King of Assyria moves against Judah both militarily and in the court of public opinion. We should not think that as our hearts turn toward the Lord it will get easier. There are other things that will challenge our trust in the Lord for all of our days. Read 2 Kings 18:14-19:34 and consider how Hezekiah's trust in God is being challenged and the steps he takes in response.

To Purify Our Hearts

December 8, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we are looking at the most celebrated king in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah. Read 2 Kings 18:1-8 and identify the active things he did to honor God. Consider how these steps becoming habits would help to purify and correct our hearts. See also Matthew 5:8 and Jeremiah 17:5-10.

Our Divided Hearts

November 27, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we continue our study of 2 Kings by again looking to text outside of 2 Kings. We are going to look at the great weakness of 5 out of the 7 good kings we find in 2 Kings. Read 2 Kings 12:3; 14:4; 15:4, 35; 17:29 - what do they all have in common? Then read 1 Kings 11:1-8. What do you think God is teaching you through these texts?

Our Duplicitous Hearts

November 24, 2024

This week we start our final series of 2024! Can you believe it? We will be in 2 Kings studying various kings of Israel and Judah and how they either led their people to or away from the Lord. The study is about our wayward hearts and how they are so easily misled. Which is why we will spend the first Sunday of this study in Jeremiah 17:1-10. Read the text and consider what it tells us about our hearts and how we can submit them to the Lord.
