Age of Kings

Part 1: Resistance is Futile

Andy Stanley

History is full of powerful kings who refused to listen to God. Instead of repenting and submitting to God's will, they repeatedly chose to put their desires over His desires. In this message, Andy Stanley tells the story of King Zedekiah and explains the tough, but necessary lesson we can learn from his life.

Part 2: Setting or Settling

Joel Thomas

Sometimes we look at our lives and wonder, How did I get here? When we struggle in our marriages, families, or careers it's tempting to chalk our circumstances up to luck or place the blame on other people. But Scripture points to something else...something more systemic.

The Bible says that we need to set our heart on the LORD because what our hearts most value sets the course for our lives.

Part 3: Crowning a King

Joel Thomas

What happens when we elevate our wants to "needs"? When our wants assume an unhealthy place in our lives and in our hearts, it's called coveting. It's a private, dangerous state of affairs that is inevitably exposed for public eyes. In this message, Joel Thomas unearths what we can learn from one of Israel's most ruthless kings, Ahab, and his infamous wife, Jezebel. A cautionary tale on the dangers of misplaced wants.
