Session 16–1 & 2 Kings

This study, taught by Pastor Barry Forder, is an overview of 1 & 2 Kings and was our 16th session in our Through-the-Bible-in-a-Year series, recorded during 2014 as part of our Sunday morning family services.

This account of Israel's history takes us from the time of king David, to the Captivity in 587 B.C. - and is replete with lessons for us today about the blessings for obedience and the consequences for disobedience
