Tues morning Zoom Battle Prayer link 8/6/24
Tues morning zoom battle prayer is on! Let’s do this! New week, new topic with new themes. Come join with brothers in Christ and let’s grow together in the knowledge of Jesus. The LORD is raising up men that understand the times they are living in and want to pursue stronger relationship with God and each other.
This new week we are starting a new series.
Overall Topic and Theme: The Righteous Reign of Hezekiah and the Assyrian Threat. Themes: Faithfulness and Devotion to God, Challenge of Foreign Invasion, Religious Reform, Trust in God During Crisis, Prophecy and Divine Revelation
2 Kings 18 paints a picture of a devout king who, amidst the threat of a mighty foreign power, chooses to place his trust in God. It is a timeless reminder that faith in God, even in the most desperate circumstances, can bring forth courage, resilience, and hope.
Bible Study Questions to ask as you ready this story in 2 Kings 18
1. What made Hezekiah's reign different from that of his father Ahaz? How does this relate to generational differences in religious practice today?
2. Hezekiah destroys the bronze snake because it became an object of worship. What does this teach us about idolatry?
3. How does Hezekiah's response to Assyria contrast with Israel's response that led to their fall?
4. When faced with threats, Hezekiah tried to appease Sennacherib by stripping the temple of its wealth. Was this a faithful decision? How can this apply to situations where we might be tempted to compromise our faith for peace?
5. Why did Hezekiah's officials tear their clothes after receiving Sennacherib's message? How should we respond when our faith is ridiculed?
6. How did Hezekiah's actions reflect his faith in God? How can we show our faith in challenging times?
7. Despite his faith, Hezekiah still faced trials and challenges. What does this tell us about the nature of faith and suffering?
8. What are the 'high places' in your life that may need to be torn down to honour God more fully?

12. How does Hezekiah's faith inspire you in your own faith journey?
13. In what ways are you challenged to be more like Hezekiah in your walk with God?
14. How can the fear and uncertainty experienced by the people of Judah teach us to handle similar feelings in today's world?
15. What lessons can we learn from Hezekiah's attempts to appease the Assyrians?
16. What does Hezekiah's story teach us about the consequences of both obedience and disobedience to God?
17. How does the response of Hezekiah's officials to Sennacherib's letter inform us about reacting to blasphemy and disrespect towards our faith?
18. How might the Assyrian threat to Judah parallel the challenges faced by Christians in the contemporary world?
