Today we begin the book of Nehemiah—a powerful story about leadership, prayer, obedience, and courage. Nehemiah is one of the most remarkable figures in Scripture, not because he was a king or a prophet, but because he was a man who responded to a divine burden with deep conviction and faithful action. 

Today we’re finishing the book of Ezra with chapters 7 through 10. These final chapters highlight one of the most vital themes in the life of God’s people—repentance. As we walk through today’s reading, we’ll see how the people responded when God’s Word revealed their sin, and how we can respond in our own lives when conviction comes.

Today we’re reading 2 Chronicles chapters 17 through 20 and taking a closer look at the reign of King Jehoshaphat. His leadership is marked by one major theme: obedience to God brings blessing.

And today’s teaching focuses on how that decision led to favor, strength, and peace.

Today we’re in 2 Chronicles chapters 13 through 16, and we’re going to spend time reflecting on the reign of King Asa.

The reasons for the exile of Israel and a warning for us today.

We're going to look closely at King Ahaz of Judah, and how his actions—particularly his alliance with Assyria—began to pave the way for the eventual fall and exile of Israel.
