Understanding Series

Iain W. Provan

Jehoahaz and Jehoash: The crisis of 2 Kings 9–11 is past. A descendant of David once more sits on the throne of Judah, and a new house governs Israel, with security of tenure until the fourth generation (10:30). We anticipate a period of relative calm within the two countries, even if not in their relations with other countries (cf. 8:12; 10:32–33; 12:17–18). Chapter 13 unfolds much as expected, updating us on events in Israel during the reigns of the two Israelite kings who acceded during the reign of ...

She gathered bits of grass, twigs, leaves, and other odds and ends and ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

Someone who accepts you as you are, sees your faults, and will not judge you for them, but who will guide you and encourage you to go the right paths, admit your mistakes, and live authentically in your own skin? Someone who you know cares about you so much that he or she calls you out on your “bads” and celebrates your “goods?” Who ...
