Following my last study project on The Sovereignty of God in Romans 9 I'm going to spend the next five months looking at the question of:
How to preach 2 Chronicles 1-7?
This combines my two major interests of the church/presence-of-God/temple with my interest in developing a Christian understanding and application of the Old Testament. The ideas isn't just to do something theoretical but to engage with the text and a way that results in life changing application to the life of the Christian. I've not looked much at 2 Chronicles before apart from doing a re-write on Matt Redman's Lord, let your glory fall a couple of years ago.
If anyone has any ideas, tips on useful sermons or study guides on 2 Chronicles that'd be much appreciated!
* my re-write is something like....
ReplyDeleteWhen Moses heard your voice / His face was radiant
He would not go alone / But only follow you
And in the promised land / They built a house for you
Your dwelling was with them / And so they praised your name
You are good, you are good and your love endures
You are good, you are good and your love endures today!
We hear the promise of old / Dry bones restored to life
When you will be our God / And we will be your sons
We long for that great day / When you come to us
We’ll live in your house / The lamb and his Redeemed
You came and lived with us / Light in the darkness
With wonders, works and words / Your grace was made known
Then under darkened skies / Your glory was revealed
The king upon his cross / The Saviour of the world
Sent us into the world / In your Spirit’s power
To speak the word of life / That all might know your name
And with each new dawn / We long for your return
When we will see your face / And your great name exalt
