Josiah

Series:
Passage: 2 Kings 22:1-13 NRSV
Service Type:
Wrapping up our focus on Holy Character is the story of Josiah. In a long line of kings of Israel and now the southern portion named Judah, we hear story after story of kings who turned from the ways of the Lord. The people of God become nearly impossible to decipher because they have walked so far from the ways of the Mosaic Covenant. One day, though, the book of the law is found in a hidden closet and read to King Josiah, and it breaks his heart. When was the last time our hearts were broken reading about God’s law and how far we have journeyed away from it? Will God’s chosen people return to a life of faith? Will we?
