2 Chronicles 24-28: The Missed Opportunity for Relational Restoration
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you have the humility it takes for relational restoration?
We've all experienced the painful ripple effects of broken relationships, whether with friends, family, coworkers, or God. In our 2 Chronicles 24-28 Old Testament Bible study, we walk through the wild saga of five consecutive kings of Judah: Joash, Amaziah, Uzziah, Jotham, and Ahaz.
Their stories read like a high-stakes drama full of great starts, massive ego trips, and missed opportunities for restoration. See how easily misplaced trust and sneaky pride can derail restoration and how our compassionate God continually sends warnings, second chances, and open doors for healing.
In our 2 Chronicles 24-28 Bible study, we cover:
- [5:30] Joash's Tragic Turnaround: Why a king who started out so faithful ends up killing the son of the faithful family who saved him.
- [13:42] Amaziah's Pride Trap: How failing to recognize God’s hand in our victories can lead us to pride that ultimately ruins us.
- [22:31] Uzziah's Overconfidence: Why pride makes it difficult to see past ourselves and recognize the truth that’s right in front of us.
- [24:46] Jotham's Lukewarm Leadership: What happens when we live out a personal faith but completely fail to influence or guide the people around us.
- [31:40] Ahaz's Collapse: Why even when one generation literally shuts and locks the door to God, there is always hope for the future.
2 Chronicles 24-28 Show Notes
Group Discussion Questions for 2 Chronicles 24–28
- [3:02] God still uses challenges and consequences to guide us toward reconciliation. We can all relate to the consequences of failing to love our neighbor as ourselves. Seeking relational restoration involves humility, repentance, and perseverance. Where might God be calling you to practice humility and pursue healing in a relationship today?
- [9:24] Joash trusted corrupt officials over God's counsel. Where have you placed trust in people or institutions in a way that pulled you away from God?
- [24:46] Jotham did what was right personally, but he didn’t lead the people back to God. As a result, he is considered a lukewarm king. When we are on fire for the Lord, it often bubbles over to others. What’s one way God might be calling you to allow your faith to shine and influence others?
