And that’s the challenge, isn’t it? To do what you do, for God’s glory and praise rather than for your own? As you read the Old Testament chronologically you can see the rise of Israel from really nothing to this great power under David and Solomon, then their decline to eventual exile. Pastor Dan’s teaching is taking you through the time before Israel is conquered by Assyria and taken into exile. It’s a sad story of God trying to get their attention and get them to change before it’s too late.
