From Joash to Jesus: Lessons in Faithfulness
Have you ever noticed how faith can sometimes start off as a passionate flame but gradually cool over time? Join Pastor Joe on this episode of the Acres of Hope podcast as he unravels the captivating story of King Joash, a young ruler who began his reign with fervor but saw his faith wane as he grew older.
Picture yourself stepping into the shoes of a 7-year-old king, just like Joash did. This episode guides you through a brief overview of Joash’s life, marked by providential protection, early restoration efforts, and the influence of his mentor, Jehoiada. But, like many of us, Joash faced a pivotal turning point.
As you listen, consider your own faith journey and how your enthusiasm may have shifted over time. Joash’s rise and fall hold profound lessons and lead us to a message about the ultimate King we all need—Jesus Christ, who can reignite the flames of faith in our hearts. Tune in for a reflective exploration of Joash’s story and its relevance to the ebb and flow of faith in your own life.
