About this episode

This sermon explores Rehoboam's abandonment of faith and God's response to humility amidst crisis.

2 Chronicles 12:1-12 // Bill Gorman In this sermon, we walk through the account of Rehoboam’s abandonment of the faith and the subsequent arrival of the Egyptian army. We discuss the message from the prophet Shemaiah, which forced the leaders of Israel to recognize their own role in the crisis. We analyze the exchange of the golden shields for shields of bronze, illustrating how sin often results in a loss of glory and a cheapening of what was once precious. By studying these twelve verses, we see a pattern of grace: even after a period of unfaithfulness, God responds to a humble heart, reminding us that he does not seek to destroy us, but to bring us back into a right relationship with him.
