A little boy… comes to the throne… only eight years old. His name is Josiah ("Supported by Yahweh"); he is the boy king of Judah… and the Reformer. He's all that Isaiah (57.15) said a king should be, "broken and contrite… lowly and humble" and yet energetic, effective and amazingly bold.

I want to look at part of his life today and then take away what I think God wants us to learn from it…

1. The Little King with Big Ideas
2. Big Ideas from the Little King

I want to consider this king and also look at a shocking surprise about the man (that we only discover in another part of the Bible) AND I want to see BOTH the tremendous potential for evil when humans misuse power AND see the more tremendous power and beauty of God's dark grace: 1- The Matter of Memory 2- An Emblem of Exile 3- The Lessons for Life

Today, I want to take lessons from the life of this good king. But I want to focus on a tragic flaw in Hezekiah and one that is a very common flaw in the spiritual life. Let's see what these final scenes tell us about:

#1 - The Man and His Flaw #2 - When the Believer is Unbelieving #3 - Three Truths About God That Can Fix Us

2nd Kings 18.5, 19-25, 18.28, 33-36; 19.15-2

Bible passage: Isaiah 57:12-21; Isaiah 66:1-4

Sermon By: Jorge Trujillo

The Fallen Tent Amos 5.8-27; 9.9-15

The two texts we chose from Amos are typical of the Hebrew prophets – picturesque appeals to the heart of a spiritually-minded people who'd stopped trusting God and had gotten lost. The first text is an "oracle of woe" and the second, a "promise of restoration".

Let's look at 3 symptoms of Religion in Decay – synthetic, fruitless, false spirituality. AND 3 qualities of vital spirituality, 3 aspects of that inner work God brings about in people who actually know Him

2nd Kings 14.8-14; 2nd Chronicles 26.16-21
