Has a bad relationship ever threatened to ruin your life?

In our 2 Chronicles 20-24 Bible study, we dive into a gripping, real-life drama when foolish alliances and a toxic marriage threaten to destroy an entire nation. King Jehoshaphat links his family with the evil Ahab and Jezebel, setting off a chain reaction of destruction in Judah.

But even in the chaos, God works through the quiet courage of one faithful couple to guard his promise to David and preserve the line of Christ. It’s powerful proof that God’s plan can never be stopped, even by the darkest evil.

In our 2 Chronicles 20–24 Bible study, we cover:

  • [4:24] Marital Influence: How choosing the wrong spouse can compromise your faith and alter the course of your life. 
  • [10:50] Prophetic Warnings: Why the prophet Elijah sends a stern letter of judgment to King Jehoram without even showing up in person.
  • [17:14] A Royal Massacre: Why an evil thirst for power drives Athaliah to kill her family, including her own grandchildren.
  • [22:04] Courageous Faith: How God works through Jehosheba’s and Jehoiada’s faith and courage to spark the turning point in Judah’s story.
  • [25:08] The Power of a Good Mentor: How Jehoiada guides King Joash and the people back to God.

  3. [25:42] From the time King Joash is seven, Jehoiada is right by his side as a wise and faithful mentor. Who has been a mentor in your life, helping you love, honor, and serve God well?
