Listen Later

At a high level… think about what we have already read in previous chapters. In the genealogies might men of war are listed. David’s reign begins after Saul commits suicide in war. David conquers enemies in war. David worships God after God gives them victory. David then works to move the ark; David works to prepare for Solomon to build the temple. Solomon works to build the temple, worships, the glory of the Lord fills the temple. Solomon’s works are recounted in chapter 8. All the kings following Solomon either worship God or idols. If they worship God rightly, they are victorious in war. If they worship as Pagans, they are defeated in war.

Do you see the themes in that fly over?

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • War - The important thing for us to see over and over is that the chronicler presents God as sovereign over war.
  • Work - The theme of work is woven in throughout both of these books. Like the theme of war, the chronicler begins documenting early the works of David. He begins telling of David’s works in the temple of God.
  • Worship: 
    1. Obedience in Worship
    2. Singing as Worship

      3. Message of 1 & 2 Chronicles:

      • Main Point - There is a twofold purpose to Chronicles. The first is to offer “covenantal hope” to the post exilic Jews who would read this book.
      • Message of Jesus:
        1. Jesus is the promised, eternal Son of David.
        2. Jesus is the conquering Warrior King.
        3. Jesus has completed the work of building the Temple.
        4. Jesus is the One whom we are to Worship.

          5. How much time do you spend worshiping him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom of priest?
