    Lesson 6 – 1 Kings 22 Text: 1 Kings 22; 2 Chronicles 18-20 Main Characters: God, Ahab, Jehoshaphat, Michaiah Key Passages: - 2 Chronicles 19:2 – God rebuked Jehoshaphat for allying himself with such a wicked king. - 2 Chronicles 20:15 – God reminded Judah not to be afraid; the battle belonged to Him. Main Storyline: Three years following Ahab’s truce with Ben-Hadad (Syria), Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, came to visit Ahab (recall their alliance from 2 Chronicles 18:1). Ahab remarked that, though Ramoth- Gilead belonged to Israel, they had allowed Syria to hold it. He asked Jehoshaphat to help him to take the city back from Syria. Jehoshaphat asked that the Lord be consulted before they enter into battle. Ahab called about 400 prophets of Baal who agreed that Ahab should attack Ramoth-Gilead. Despite all of this “reassurance,” Jehoshaphat asked that a prophet of the Lord be consulted. Ahab lamented that there was one prophet of God still in the land, Michaiah, but that he hated him, since he always prophesies that bad things will happen to him. Jehoshaphat insisted that he be brought. The messenger who went to get Michaiah told him that all the other prophets had given encouragement to the king. He asked Michaiah to prophesy similarly. Michaiah told him that he would speak as God instructed him. When Michaiah came, at first he simply gave the same advice that the other prophets had. However, Ahab realized Michaiah was not telling the truth, and insisted that he do so. Michaiah then told everyone that Ahab would die in the battle.

  • 2 Chronicles 5 (Focus: Vv
    “In Unified Praise and Thanksgiving” © 2007, Sterling C. Franklin, Though free for your use and encouragement so long as you don’t say that you wrote the sermon, haha. Text: 2 Chronicles 5 (focus: vv. 11­14) Parallel Account: 1 Kings 8 Parallel Example: Acts 1­2 (Pentecost) Intro Prayer • Father, focus our hearts and attentions on worship • Father, soften our hearts (cf. Psalm 95:7b­11) • Father, unite us as a congregation to worship You (2 Chronicles 5:11­13a) • Father, thank You for for Your Word and the Promise that the Word will do the work that it needs to do (Isaiah 55:10­11) • In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Addressed: • How should we worship God? • In part, where should we worship God? • Inductively, what is worship? Background • The preparation of the Temple has lasted quite a while at this point. From David to Solomon, this section is finally getting to the climax of the finalization of the Temple. • In the chapter, the Ark of the Covenant is placed in the Temple with the intent of it being the final resting place for the Ark. • The Ark of the Covenant is also symbolic of the Presence of God. When the Ark of the Covenant was taken away earlier in the time of the priest Eli, Eli fainted and died (cf. 1 Samuel 4:18). • The LORD definitely shows His approval of the Israelites’ work and intentions in 2 Chronicles 5:11­14. Proposition: We should worship God in unified praise and thanksgiving (cf. 5:13). Scripture Reading: 2 Chronicles 5:1­14 (full text below) 1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the LORD was finished.

  • 2 Chronicles Chapter 5
    2 Chronicles Chapter 5 2 Chronicles 5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in [all] the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. The temple took 7 years to build and was completed in Solomon’s 11th year (959 B.C.), in the eighth month (compare 1 Kings 6:38). Since it was dedicated in the seventh month (5:3), its dedication occurred 11 months later to coincide with the Feast of Booths, or Tabernacles (see note on 1 Kings 8:2). Why is there so much emphasis in the Old Testament on the temple? (1) It was the center of worship that called people to correct belief through the generations; (2) It was the symbol of God’s presence with His people; (3) It was the symbol of forgiveness and grace, reminding the people of the seriousness of sin and the availability of mercy; (4) It prepared the people for the true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, who would take away sin; (5) It was a place of prayer (compare 7:12-17). Much of the “silver” and “gold” used in the temple came from the spoils of the many battles King David had fought as well as from his personal resources. Following the example of their king, the people of Israel also gave freely to support the temple (1 Chron. 29:1-9). The temple which began in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon, took 7 years to construct.

    2 Chronicles 1:1 2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 1 King Solomon's solemn offering at Gibeon, 2Ch_1:1-6. His choice of wisdom is blessed by God, 2Ch_1:7-12. His strength and wealth, 1Ch_1:13-17. Was strengthened, or established , after his seditious brother Adonijah and his partisans were suppressed; and he was received with the universal consent and joy of his princes and people. 2 Chronicles 1:2 Then Solomon spake, to wit, concerning his intention of going to Gibeon, and that they should attend him thither, as the next verse shows. 2 Chronicles 1:3 To the high place; upon which the tabernacle was placed; whence it is called the great high place , 1Ki_3:4. 2 Chronicles 1:4 He separated the ark from the tabernacle, and brought it to Jerusalem, because there he intended to build a far more noble and lasting habitation for it. 2 Chronicles 1:5 He put; either Moses, mentioned 2Ch_1:3, or Bezaleel, here last named, by the command and direction of Moses; or David, who may be said to put it there, because he continued it there, and did not remove it, as he did the ark from the tabernacle. Sought unto it, i.e. sought the Lord and his favour by hearty prayers and sacrifices in the place which God had appointed for that work, Lev_17:3,4. 2 Chronicles 1:6 i.e. Which altar. But that he had now said, 2Ch_1:5, and therefore would not unnecessarily repeat it.

  • Through the Bible Study 2 Chronicles 18-22
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY 2 CHRONICLES 18-22 The children’s series VeggieTales has sold over 52 million DVD and VHS copies. Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber teach biblical values to kids. The series became so popular it was sold to NBC and added to its Saturday morning kids programming. But it didn’t take long for NBC editors to go to work. Non-historical references to God and the Bible were sliced - even Bob and Larry’s trademark ending - “Remember kids, God made you special, and loves you very much…” - is gone. The vitamins were cooked out of VeggieTales. The series’ creator, Phil Vischer confessed, had he known how much the shows would change he wouldn’t have signed on to the network deal. Vischer sums it up this way, “VeggieTales is religious – NBC is not.” It’s a classic case of what the Bible calls being “unequally yoked.” 2 Corinthians 6:14 says it best, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” This is a farming analogy… Different species of animals, with diverse natures, harnessed together will struggle to cooperate. They’ll pull in opposite directions. And when a Christian becomes entangled with a non- Christian in a legally binding relationship some kind of compromise is the inevitable outcome. !1 It happens when a believer and an unbeliever go into business. It happens when a believer and an unbeliever get married. It happens when NBC and VeggieTales partner together. And it happened when Jehoshaphat joined forces with Israel. 2 Chronicles 18, “Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he allied himself with Ahab.” Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, married the daughter of his northern rival, King Ahab.

  • Worship: Putting God's Prophetic Word Into Action
    Worship: Putting God’s Prophetic Word into Action Kenwood Baptist Church Pastor David Palmer October 28, 2018 TEXT: 2 Chronicles 15:1-15 Good morning, beloved. It is good to be in God's house together this morning. We are in a series in 1 & 2 Chronicles, a series on worship. As we've been looking at this series and seeing that 1 & 2 Chronicles really is a summons for us to worship, to have God at the center of our lives, the theological vision of Chronicles tells us that with God at the center, that is the determinative factor in success or failure in our lives. We have looked at the series to see that the sanctuary, this single place where God's real presence dwells among us, is the orienting center of our lives. We looked last week to see that the second half of Chronicles gives us the theological vision out of which we live. It confronts the modern, practical atheism that many of us practice. Many of us say we are a Christian, but we really don't live like we are Christian. We really don't live with the sense that God is actively involved. We don’t live like disobeying God is dangerous. It really is. We don't live like turning to God in distress will change the situation. We don't live in such a way that says that God's promises are yes and amen in Christ. As Paul says, we make it our aim to please Him, not to earn our salvation, but to remain in that place of blessing that He has brought us to in Christ.

    Friday, August 19, 2016 Forces 2 Chronicles 14-15 August 15-20, 2016 The LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed before the LORD and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder. 2 Chronicles 14:12-13 Once again, the chronicler makes it clear that the line of David continues to seek the LORD. It is Asa who sits on the throne of David and it is Asa who is following the plans of God and ridding the nation of worthless and detestable things. People of Israel hear about this and come over to Asa because they see the LORD is with Him (15:9). The LORD strikes down the Cushite—five-hundred-and-eighty thousand men (and God) against one million men. The Cushites have no idea how terribly outnumbered they really are. This is a victory for Asa, as king of Judah, but it is clear that the victory has come at the hand of the LORD. Asa sought the LORD and declared that they were going against the vast army in the name of the LORD (14:11). It was God Judah was fighting for and God the Cushites were fighting against. The phrase that sticks out to me is this: “they were crushed before the LORD and his forces.” On this day, the army of Asa was the army of God.
