Which Way Will We Reign? - The Rise & Fall of Kings, Ep. 5

What You Say Vs. What You Are - The Rise & Fall of Kings, Ep. 9

In this episode, we find a New Testament connection to the rise and fall of King Uzziah in Jesus's letter to the Church in Laodicea. We read and think through Revelation 3:15-17 and confront the reality that while we may say one thing, the Lord knows what's really going on. He knows what and who we sound like, and we consider asking him before he tells us. Also in this episode, we read from the book, ⁠Humility by Andrew Murray⁠ [https://a.co/d/8baPhHy].

Be Humble or Be Humbled- The Rise & Fall of Kings, Ep. 8
