Summary
King Josiah discovered the lost Book of the Law in the temple and led Israel to recommit to God's covenant, closing the gap between their stated beliefs and hypocritical behavior. The sermon challenges believers to align their actions with their faith, particularly regarding generosity, Bible engagement, and obedience, and explains that only Christ's power—not human resolve alone—can sustain authentic change.
Highlights
We invite revival by killing hypocrisy and we kill hypocrisy by obeying God's word.
When God says don't, he means don't hurt yourself. And when God says do, he means do this for your joy.
The gospel of Jesus Christ makes it safe for us to bring our gaps into community and bring our gaps to God so that he can start to set us free.
