Hackberry House of Chosun

Bunyan is tempted to "sell Christ" and he thinks he has. Torment follows...

The enemy lies to him, the Lord Jesus gives him the truth he needs when he needs it.

Josiah. His sons. The fall of Judah at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar. Cyrus of Persia orders the return of the Jews to Jerusalem to build the House of God! Zerubbabel leads the first wave of returnees and the Temple construction is started.

Hezekiah's incredible reign and Passover. Worship of the True God restored. Sennacherib invades but is turned back. Manasseh restores evil to the land, then repents.

Among the items new to 2 Chronicles: Joash's sad ending, abandoning the teachings of his long-time father figure Jehoida, even killing Jehoiada's son, he meets tragedy.

Review Lesson: We begin 2 Chronicles, which is a retelling of the books of first and second Kings. Today, Solomon through Jehoram in the South; Jeroboam through Ahaziah in the North.

The man behind the evangelist, and the God behind the man. A must-hear story of how prayer changes everything.

Bunyan continues to seek God's face with sometimes success, sometimes not so much. Now he begins to think blasphemous thoughts as the enemy attempts to keep him from God's intended place of honor among the people of God. (Imagine Christian history without "Pilgrim's Progress"!)

Bunyan begins his long process of seeking after God. He listens to true believers. He is deceived by false believers. His struggle continues to remind us of "Christian" in Pilgrim's Progress.

A quick trip through the rest of 1 Chronicles, reviewing where we have been in the life of David, and ending with his excellent message to his people as his life nears its end.

The fate of Zedekiah, who ran for his life, vs Jehoiachin, who complied with the will of God for Israel and Judah at this time. Jerusalem and the Temple burned to the ground. Gedaliah made governor, then murdered, causing all the people to run for their lives... to Egypt! from whence they came... a sad pause in Israel's history.

The last "good" king of Israel, Josiah: his reforms, his Passover, his untimely death. Then Josiah's sons and the last disastrous years of the Kingdom of Judah, as they are ruled first by Egypt, then Babylon.

Hezekiah is sick, healed, and given 15 more years to live. His exposing of Judah's treasures to the Babylonians... Manasseh, his wicked son and Amon his wicked grandson. Then Josiah restores righteousness to the land. The Book of the Law discovered and its prophecies interpreted by Huldah the prophetess.

An astounding report of an American/British revival that swept the church in the middle of the 19th century. May we catch this flame today before it is too late!

Here begins the actual reading of "Grace Abounding..." in which Bunyan tells of his wretched life before conversion. Filthy sins, then religious sins... We see in this true story of a real man, the inspiration for "Pilgrim's progress."

Before actual reading of Bunyan's classic autobiography, I share the words of GEORGE OFFOR, editor of the 1875 edition of the 1666 book. Then, Bunyan's own preface to "GRACE ABOUNDING to the Chief of Sinners." Next time, we begin his actual relating of his life previous to his conversion.

Israel territory filled with non-Jews. The reign of Hezekiah challenged by Assyria. His prayer, Isaiah's answer from God.

The final kings of Israel, all evil. The Assyrians come and take Israel captive. Only Judah remains. Hezekiah's reign in Judah begins.

Descendants of Jehu sit on the throne as promised. Elisha dies but raises a man from death after he (Elisha) is buried! Clash of Israel and Judah. Uzziah and Jeroboam II ascend to the throne.

Jehu reforms Israel... to a point. Then he refuses to depart from the sins of Jeroboam and all the rest. The queen mother, Athaliah, slaughters her family and takes control of Judah. Joash escapes her evil intention and with Jehoiada's help, replaces her. The repairs of the temple.

Massive revival history of 18th-19th century America leaves us wondering if it can happen again.

Coming soon to this site! New series featuring John Bunyan's "Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners". The salvation story of the author of Pilgrim's Progress. You will be blessed! Beginning Saturday the 29th of November, with new episodes twice a week thereafter.

Jehu comes to the throne and wreaks vengeance on the house of Ahab. He even kills the King of Judah!

The Syrians flee. The siege of Samaria ends. Hazael murders his master, the King of Syria, and becomes king. Jehoram of Israel and Jehoram of Judah reign at the same time!

Naaman is healed. Gehazi receives Naaman's sickness. An axe head recovered. The plan to capture Elisha goes awry. Samaria besieged.

Two special women ministered to by the man of God, Elisha. Some poisonous stew. And Naaman of Syria comes to the prophet for healing.

The author continues his tracing of revivals through history. 17th century England and Scotland up to the beginnings of the Great Awakening in America. God has always had a people...

Elijah to Heaven, Elisha succeeds him. The Moabite war: Jehoshaphat once more joins enemies to defeat a mutual enemy. Moabites defeated.

Micaiah predicts Ahab's death. New rulers in Israel and Judah. Begin 2 Kings: Elijah predicts Ahaziah's death, for trusting Baal instead of Yahweh.

The second Syrian War, also a success for Israel. But Ahab ruins everything by saving Ben-Hadad's life. Ahab then takes Naboth's vineyard at the inciting of his wicked wife Jezebel. A curse on both of them from the Lord.

Elijah runs to Sinai where he is met by God and given his last assignments. Ahab victorious in the first Syrian War.

Pastor Fish details the workings of God's Spirit on the people of God through Old Testament and New Testament times, and continues on into the centuries, covering at this section the Protestant Reformation. Amazing study.

Elijah predicts drought and is protected from it. The raising of a widow's son from the dead. Elijah's challenge to Ahab. The contest on Mt. Carmel. The Lord is God! 450 prophets of Baal killed.

The reigns of Asa in the South, and Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, and Omri in the North. A new capital in Israel. Ahab and Jezebel introduced.

The disobedient prophet. Jeroboam's idolatry and demise. Rehoboam also falls, along with his son.

Jeroboam becomes the new king of the Northern tribes, as Israel is divided due to Solomon's sins. Jeroboam's idolatry...

Henry Fish encourages the people of God to be filled with the Spirit.

The Queen of Sheba visits. Honor and glory and wisdom and wealth. Then, Solomon becomes an idolater. Enemies are raised up against him.

The ark brought to the Temple. The magnificent prayer of King Solomon... followed by God's warning to the King.

Solomon's magnificent Kingdom, and his building of the House of God and his own houses, with the help of the King of Tyre.
