Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Leading up to the significant and wicked reign of King Ahaz of Judah, the kings who reigned in Judah and Israel receive relatively little attention. In Judah, Azariah (also known as Uzziah) and Jotham are both faithful to the LORD, even though neither removes the high places from Judah. In Israel, the dynasty of kings in the line of Jehu comes to an end after four generations, according to the Word of the LORD. From one king to the next, the idolatry of Jeroboam son of Nebat continues. As Assyria becomes the world superpower, the northern kingdom begins to suffer greatly, the beginning of their end, even as the LORD provides for the faithful preaching of Isaiah in Judah during these dark days.  Rev. Zelwyn Heide, pastor at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hanover, ND and Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem, ND, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Kings 15:1-38.  To learn more about St. Peter and Zion Lutheran, visit stpeterzion.org. "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2
