Calvary Reflections
Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World
May 29, 2016
Thanks!
Thank you to all of the committee chairs and representatives who stayed for our lunch last Sunday. That's part of what it takes, all of us pulling together, helping each other out!
Bible Reading
This week's Old Testament reading (1 Kings 20-2 King 10) begins with more mischief by Jezebel and Ahab defeating the Syrians, and ends with Jezebel's death and the death of Ahab's sons.
Ahab and Jezebel continue to wreak havoc against the Syrians and stealing a vineyard in chapter 20-21. After Ahab's death (chapter 22), we see Jehoshaphat and Ahaziah reigning over the divided Israel. 2 Kings 1 continues the tale of Ahaziah and his death. Chapter 2 shares Elijah's ascension into Heaven and the continuation of his ministry through Elisha. His miracles are recorded in chapter 4-6. The reigns of Jehoram, Jehu, and Joram are given in chapters 8-10.
Interesting notes:
· In 1 Kings 19:18, kissing Baal, or an idol, showed your loyalty to it.
· 2 Kings 2:3 – the "sons of the prophets" was a school of prophets.
