Imagine a courtroom without walls—no bench, no jury—just a king in chains in a place called Riblah, forced to watch his sons executed one by one before the Babylonians gouge out his eyes and drag him away blind, broken, and defeated. That king is Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, a man who didn’t fall because […] The post The King Who Knew Better appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

An eighteen-year-old king in chains, a cursed bloodline that seems to kill the Messiah’s promise, and a forgotten prisoner suddenly lifted to the king’s table — this is the story of Jehoiachin, and it is a story of both devastating consequence and relentless covenant grace. The post The Cursed King appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

What would you do if God’s Word made you deeply uncomfortable — if it cut against your lifestyle, your politics, your comfort zone? King Jehoiakim answered that question with a scribe’s knife and a fire. Column by column, he slashed the scroll of Jeremiah and tossed it into the flames. No fear. No trembling. No […] The post The Foolish King appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

What happens when a nation—or a family, or a church—chooses popularity over piety? In this message from 2 Kings 23:31–35 and 2 Chronicles 36:1–4, we follow Judah in the wake of King Josiah’s death. The people ignore God’s covenant order and crown Jehoahaz, the crowd favorite. What follows is a sobering three-month reign that ends […] The post The Danger of Getting What We Want appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

This sermon explores the sobering story of King Amon — the forgotten son of repentant Manasseh and the father of reformer Josiah — as a mirror for our own hearts and for the faith of the next generation. The post The King Who Learned Nothing appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

“The machinery of religion is humming along, but the Book that once shook the nation has been functionally lost in the very house of God.” Are we merely managing our idols instead of destroying them? In this powerful message, we dive into the radical reforms of King Josiah found in 2 Kings 22-23. Josiah was […] The post When the Word Awakens a Generation appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

Have you ever felt like you are carrying the crushing weight of past sins, convinced you’ve crossed a line God won’t forgive? Or maybe you’re watching someone you love spiral into darkness, wondering if they are beyond saving? In this message, we dive deep into the shocking, soul-shaking story of King Manasseh—the absolute worst king […] The post From Idols to Altar appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

The greatest tests in the Christian life don’t always come during the crisis—they often come after God answers prayer. In this sermon, The Pride That Precedes a Fall, we walk through King Hezekiah and the moment he “shows his treasures” to Babylon (2 Kings 20:12–19; 2 Chronicles 32) and learn how pride can hide behind […] The post Pride That Precedes a Fall appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

Imagine standing on the wall of Jerusalem with 300,000 people behind you — men, women, children — all depending on you. And stretched out before you, as far as you can see, is the most powerful army on earth: Assyria. Their general is mocking your God, threatening your people, and promising to slaughter everyone. What […] The post One Angel. 185,000 Soldiers. They Didn’t Stand a Chance. appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

In 2 Kings 17, we witness the final chapter of the northern kingdom of Israel. King Hoshea — the nineteenth and last king — sat on a throne already marked for destruction. Though he was “less evil” than the kings before him, his divided allegiance and catastrophically bad decisions brought an entire nation to its […] The post The Last King and the Last Chance appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

King Ahaz is terrified. Two armies march toward Jerusalem. In his darkest hour, God makes an extraordinary offer: “Ask me for a sign—anything, deep as hell or high as heaven—to prove I’m with you.” But Ahaz refuses. Instead, he looks sideways to political alliances, pagan gods, and false altars. His refusal changes everything. This powerful […] The post Looking Up Or Looking Sideways appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

What do you do when you’re waiting for a promise that hasn’t been fulfilled yet? In Week 3 of “Poetic Promises: God’s Story from Eden to Emmanuel,” we discover that the answer isn’t resignation—it’s radical joy. For 700 years, Israel waited for the Messiah. They didn’t wait silently or passively. They sang about Him. They […] The post Rejoicing in the Not Yet appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

The Jewish people waited 700 years for the Messiah. They didn't just survive—they were sustained by the promise. What does that teach us about our own seasons of waiting? Watch this week's sermon on waiting on God's promises with radical hope. The post Waiting on God’s Promises: Finding Hope in Darkness appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

What if Christmas isn’t primarily about the gifts we receive—but about the gift we give? Join us as we explore the Victorian poetry of E.U. Cook’s “The First Mortgage” alongside Paul’s stunning declaration in 2 Corinthians 8:9: “Though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might […] The post What Does Christmas Really Cost? appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

When life falls apart and the empty chairs at your table remind you of loss, how do you give thanks?
