In II Chronicles 20, the kingdom of Judah is attacked by a great multitude from the nations around them. Verse 3 says that “Jehoshaphat was afraid; he set himself to seek the Lord…” In the prayer that follows, he reminds the Lord of the promise made to Abraham. Then, in verse 12, we read: “For we are powerless against this great multitude that is coming against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” “We do not know what to do…” What happens when everything you work and hope for comes crashing down? What happens when the path becomes blocked? Bonhoeffer explores these questions in a sermon on this text. This episode explores what his words have to say to us today.

Join me as we explore the heart of the Christian life as we engage important questions about God, the bible, salvation, and what it means to follow Jesus.
