What do you build a nation around listening to God's voice and sacrificing yourself for others?

Yeah.

I mean, like, that is the New Testament.

That is right.

That is just like so beautiful.

Welcome to the Spoken Gospel podcast.

Spoken Gospel is a ministry that's dedicated to speaking the gospel out of every corner of Scripture.

In Luke 24, Jesus told his disciples that every part of the Bible is about Him.

In each episode, hosts David and Seth work through a passage of Scripture to see how it's all about Jesus and his good news. Let's jump in.

Well, welcome, everyone to the spoken gospel podcast.

Thank you for joining us.

We are starting the book of Chronicles today, or for some of you, the books of Chronicles, first and second Chronicles. Seth, how are you feeling about this massive, was it 65 chapter? It's the 65 chapter black hole in my Bible generally. It's like, oh, I come across the nine chapters of genealogology at the beginning. I'm like, I'm going to skip that. And then I get to the next part and it's just stories I've already read in first and second Samuel, first second Kings. That's's right. And so I have not done a ton of study about this book. What is, yeah,

what is this long genealogy heavy, repeated storybook doing in my Bible? That's exactly.

Yeah, that's exactly right. And so I'm not willing to ask that question of myself in my previous

my previous readings through The Chronicles,

I got to this time. And I'm actually very excited. My best analogy for what the Book of Chronicles

is doing in our Bibles is that it's the Hamilton, the musical. Oh, like the Lynn Manuel Miranda

musical. Yeah, it's the Hamilton of our Bibles. I have every question.

Explain yourself.

So, first of all, both Chronicles and Hamilton starts off with the genealogy.

Oh, yeah, Hamilton's is a little more interesting.

This is short.
