This week’s sermon was a first-person narrative in which Marc explored the question of faithfulness from the perspective of Manasseh. The premise was that the majority of Manasseh’s reign, which was marked by compromise, was influenced by the outcome of his father, Hezekiah’s rebellion. Seeking to ensure Judah’s future, he followed the example of his politically successful grandfather, Ahaz, rather than his faithful father. It wasn’t until Manasseh was imprisoned that he reconsidered his father’s example and realised that faithfulness is its own reward. 2 Chronicles 33:1-20
