​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — King Amaziah first listened to God, and because he obeyed the Lord, he prospered. But later in his reign he stopped listening to God, and he lost God's blessings. Amaziah's life is a lesson for us to listen to the Lord as we go about our lives, so that we might enjoy his blessings.  Text: 2 Chronicles 25

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In the stories of three consecutive kings of Israel, God demonstrates his profound compassion by showing grace even to undeserving kings and an undeserving nation. Text: 2 Kings 13 and 14:23-29

​Sunday Sermon by Johnny Gallegos — Peter disowned Jesus three times, and all seemed to be lost. He could never undo what he had done. But Jesus redeemed Peter and called him to feed His sheep. In the same way, Jesus redeems us from our sin and calls us into his kingdom. Texts: excerpts from Luke 22, John 21

​Sunday Sermon by Ian Bissell, Preaching Intern with the Northwest School of Discipleship — Each of us has been given the gift of a ministry by God. What can we do to engage in that ministry effectively, in spite of dangers both external and internal? We draw from Paul's instructions to Timothy to help us as we serve the Lord. Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-8

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Wicked Athaliah placed herself on the throne of Judah, but God worked through two righteous people to rescue the rightful (and infant) king and, a few years later, place him on his throne. That king prospered as he followed the Lord, but when he later turned away from God, God raised up another righteous man to courageously confront the king and the people, calling them to return to God. God continues to work through his people today, when his people trust in him and courageously step out to do the good to which he calls us. Text: 2 Kings 11, 2 Chronicles 24

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Why does God wait so long to punish the wicked, especially when they do harm to the innocent and the righteous? God waited years to punish Jezebel and to complete his prophesied judgment against the house of Ahab. He is slow to anger—and yet he also does not leave the guilty unpunished. He gives us time to repent, but he will not wait forever. Text: 2 Kings 9-10

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In a moment of crisis, Israel's ungodly King Joram blamed God, but Judah's godly King Jehoshaphat looked to God for help. Because Jehoshaphat was there, the prophet Elisha foretold that God would rescue the kings and their armies and give them victory over the enemy. These events remind us of a principle we find throughout Scripture: God often causes his blessings of the righteous to overflow even to the unrighteous. Text: 2 Kings 3

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — King Ahab wanted Naboth's vineyard; Naboth refused to sell. Queen  Jezebel arranged to take the vineyard for Ahab—by having Naboth murdered. God saw and was furious. How does God expect those to whom he has given authority and power to use that power? Ahab and Jezebel abused the power God had given them. God calls us to do better with the influence and authority he gives us. Text: 1 Kings 21

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In Israel, the nation's worship of Jeroboam's calf idols resulted in forty years of political chaos. King Ahab brought political stability, but further spiritual decline. So God turned off the rain—the rain that was supposedly provided by Baal, god of Ahab's wife, Queen Jezebel. Three years later, desiring to show mercy to Israel again, God sent the prophet Elijah to challenge Baal to a climactic battle of the gods to prompt Israel to choose which God—Baal or the Lord—they would follow. Text: 1 Kings 18

​Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — Judah's King Abijah was not fully devoted to God, but in a moment of crisis he and Judah relied on God for help, and he saved them. Abijah's son Asa was very faithful to the Lord, and God gave him victory in battle. But late in his life, Asa relied on another nation instead of on God. Like these kings, we must decide daily whether or not we will rely on God for our help. Texts: 1 Kings 15:1-5, 2 Chronicles 13-16
