1 Kings 15 & 16: The Biblical version of the Hatfields and McCoys.

Rev. Keith Lingsch of Grace Lutheran Church, Naples, FL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 1 Kings 15 & 16. The common words of these chapters, “And he walked in all the sins that his father did before him.”  Reminds us of how many sins are so easy to follow, especially when modeled by our family.  These sins led to more brokenness, war with other nations, and idolatry.  The main issue for all the kings was a lack of faith in Yahweh to provide.  We have the issue: a lack of faith.  We address the sins that we are tempted to commit with repentance and faith.  “Lord God, Heavenly Father, send the Holy Spirit that we may repent of our sins, receive Your forgiveness, and by Your power live a holy Christian life.  Keep us from the sins of previous generations that we may love You and one another.  In Christ, Amen”
