Lesson Preview

The background material for this Sunday's lesson comes from 2 Kings, chapters 9 and 10.  The lesson focus is 9:16-32.

As we read this material, we are reminded that we live in a different day than the people we are studying.  Though they lived in different times and culture, has God changed?

We will be discussing kings from both Hebrew kingdoms.  Yes, we may find a few of the names difficult to pronounce, but we'll handle it.  The important thing is the application we find for our lives today.

In preparation for Sunday, consider this: Is it right to do the wrong or shady thing to accomplish a good outcome? I guess I might be a little more passionate about this subject as I have seen good people do some pretty terrible stuff in the name of the Lord - supposedly for the Lord.

This brings to mind words to a song, ". . . if loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right."  (Possible door prize to the first person on Sunday that can tell me who made this song popular and when.)  Speaking of Sunday, bring your insights, questions, and comments.  The title of this lesson will NOT be -- Do Something, Even If It Is Wrong.

Peace,
Don
