Josiah: Rediscovering Faith (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Kings of Israel and Judah)

Josiah was a great king, leading the people to repentance and covenant renewal to God. Yet, God was determined to destroy their kingdom anyway, due to the things a previous king had done before most of them were even born. Why? I preached last week that it's never too late to repent and seek God's favor, and the greater biblical witness supports this. So what gives with 2 Kings? The scripture includes 2 Kings 22:1-3, 11-20.
