2 Kings 11-12

2 Kings 16

It's been said that the greatest sin is the corruption of the highest good. The nation of Judah in the days of King Ahaz was guilty of great sin. They were God's people called to worship Him, yet they turned to idols. But before we condemn Judah of old, we must examine our hearts. We'll be given that opportunity as we explore their history on today's Hope From The Word. Instead of asking how low can we go, or how far can we stray, we should be encouraged to draw near and stay close to the Lord! For encouragement to that end, let's join Pastor Bill Luebkemann in Second Kings chapter sixteen. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1698/29?v=20251111

2 Kings 14:11-15:38

There's much more to be said about this issue of why God allows evil and what his purposes are; and we will explore that issue, among other things, on today's Hope From The Word. Bill Luebkemann is our teacher and the pastor of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. We understand that for anyone to be in a truly loving relationship with God, there must be choice; a choice that we are responsible for. But to have choice, well that opens the door for people to choose evil. We see this played out in history as well as in our present day. Let's see how to make the right choice, a good and godly choice.

2 Kings 14:11-15:38

God is very gracious and patient, but you never want to mistake God's grace and patience as approval of sin. This was a mistake the kings of Israel and Judah made time and again. Welcome to Hope From The Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. This is the radio ministry of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. One sin that we are vulnerable to is pride. Pride comes before a fall; and this truth is played out in the life of King Amaziah. His story was written down for us to learn from his mistake.

2 Kings 13:1-14:10

Israel has a past, and a future, because God is faithful to His Word! Thanks for joining us today for Hope From The Word with Bill Luebkemann. God is not only faithful but also gracious, as we'll see on today's broadcast. Israel's kings and their people continually fell into sin, yet God continued to bear with them because of the covenant that He made with them. God is gracious and faithful to His promises; again, just look at Israel. That's where we begin today's teaching. From Second Kings chapter thirteen and verse twenty-three, here's Pastor Bill.

2 Kings 13:1

God is always working in the world. Sometimes it's in direct response to your prayers. Even if it's not because of your prayers, its because there's something good and glorious God is doing. It ought to inspire us to be looking and be attentive. But as we'll hear on today's Hope From The Word that doesn't always happen. We're presently studying the Old Testament book of Second Kings with Pastor Bill Luebkemann. And we've come to the reign of king Jehoahaz, which was the beginning of the fulfillment of a promise made to Jehu. God promised him that his descendants would sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation. Let's get the details now from chapter thirteen. Here's Pastor Bill...
