Joining in the likeness of Christ; working out that which God has worked within us; taking joy in others.

Introducing the book of 2 Kings -- the death of Ahab's son, Ahaziah; the continued ministry of Elijah to Israel; the faithfulness of God's Word. 

Unity, serving others, and the humbled yet exalted Christ.

Judah in the south, and Israel in the north make an alliance to fight against Syria, the false prophets speak, one faithful prophet remains, Ahab is killed.

Life, death, deliverance, striving for the gospel, suffering. 

The spiritual state of Israel is on display as covetousness, conspiracy, murder, and false witness are all seen in the lives of Ahab and his people.
