Jumping Jehoshaphat! A mild curse in 19th century, a corny Robin-ism from Batman, and our next King in the long search to find the true Son of David. Jehoshaphat was the son of Asa, the first of the reformer-kings. And like his father, Jehoshaphat is given a rosy commendation: “he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD” (1 Kings 22:41-50). But if we dig into the back-story (2 Chr 17-20), we find a distinctive kind of reform – one based on the systematic teaching of God’s people from his word. In a generation who think with their feelings and who swarm to personality-preachers, we may just have stumbled onto one of the church’s great losses of the last half-century: the equal priority of teaching alongside preaching (1 Tim 5:17). |

hmmm…. sounds intriuiging. Have loved the series thus far.
Is there any posibility of there being a Kings 1 & 2 CD available? or just podcast?
Happy to burn you an MP3 CD, Dave, when we finish the series. We’re already up to #30, so it would be too many audio CD’s.
