Last week, we saw how God established the crown through David, promising an eternal King and kingdom, which pointed to it fulfillment in King Jesus.
\nBut today, in The Captivity, we\u2019ll see a devastating turn of events. God\u2019s people lose the land, the kingdom falls, and they are carried into exile. What will become of God\u2019s people? How does this chapter fit into God\u2019s STORY?!?<\/p>\n
We all know what it\u2019s like to ignore God\u2019s voice\u2026 to keep putting Him off\u2026 to drift further than we ever intended. And eventually we find ourselves in a place we never thought we\u2019d be, far from God, facing the consequences of our choices. So the question is this: When we rebel against God, how does God respond to us? Does He give up on us? Does He walk away? Or does He reveal something deeper about who He is? <\/p>\n
