2 KINGS 14                                                                                                     

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

Sometimes a king listed as “good” did bad things- sometimes a king listed as “evil” did good things. What was the difference maker? Who was the Difference Maker?

 

I. AMAZIAH- THE “PRETTY” KING OF JUDAH

 

1. He was “Pretty” Good [v. 1-6]

 

2. He Was “Pretty” Tough [v. 7]

 

3. He was “Pretty” Arrogant [v. 8-12]

 

II. JEHOASH- THE “FAIR” KING OF ISRAEL

 

1. He was “Fairly” Reasonable [v. 9-10]

 

2. He Was “Fairly” Thorough [v. 13-16]

 

3. He was “Fairly” Accurate [v. 10, 17-20]

 

III. YAHWEH [JEHOVAH]- THE DIFFERENCE MAKING GOD

 

1. God Sees [v. 23-24]

 

2. God Speaks [v. 25]

 

when anyone listens it makes the difference in their life [Jm. 1:18, Rm. 2:8, Ga. 5:7, 2 Th. 1:8, 3:14, 1 Peter 4:17]

 

3. God Saves [v. 26-29]
