Summary

Fr. Mike talks about how we see both an abundance of faith, and a great lack of faith in our readings today. While the widow Elisha visits shows us a beautiful example of walking in faith, king Ahaz fails to repent as he falls deeper into sin. Today's readings are 2 Kings 4, 2 Chronicles 28, and Psalm 127.

0:10.4	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:13.1	Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,

0:48.4	yesterday, I don't know if you caught this at the end of the commentary, I guess. This is our last day in Second Chronicles for roughly the next,
0:55.9	I don't know if I'm bad at math, maybe nine days. We're taking a little nine day hiatus because
1:00.3	we're jumping into some prophets. And we have Elijah the prophet and Elijah the prophet who have not
1:05.5	written anything that we know of. But we're also going to the written prophets because those
1:09.4	written prophets have a word. And that word is a word of correction.
1:13.5	It is a word that is a warning.
1:15.5	And it is a word that is calling the people of Israel in the kingdom of Israel in the north back
1:20.4	to faithfulness, covenant faithfulness with God.
1:23.1	And we'll see what happens.
