How do you respond in moments of crisis?

Pastor Bob teaches an inspiring message on Jehoshaphat, who although he was an accomplished king, freely admitted he didn't know what to do in crisis, but his eyes were on God and His deliverance.

Jehoshaphat:

1. Fourth king of the separate kingdom of Judah
2. The son of Asah: bright lights against the dark paganism that existed during their time.
3. 35 years old when he became king, and he reigned 25 years in Jerusalem
4. "His heart was devoted to the ways of the Lord" 2 Chr. 17:6
5. He abolished pagan idolatry
6. He sent teachers to the people to teach them God's Word. 2 Chron 17:9
7. He turned the hearts of the people back to the Lord.

Crisis:

1. A massive invasion mounted by the Moabites, and Ammonites, and Meunites (From beyond the sea, meaning the Dead Sea, where Sodom had stood).
2. They were already at En Gedi -- which was only about 38 miles from Jerusalem.

We must remember that although Satan's name is infrequently mentioned in the Old Testament, he and his legions had stirred up the hearts of this vast army to bring the work of God in Judah to a bloody conclusion.

We can learn important lessons from how Jehoshaphat responded to his country's crisis. (2013)

This sermon is part of the Matthew series, but is included here as a companion message in the series on Biblical Reconciliation. This passage is often taught as a stand-alone text and therefore misinterpreted and misapplied.

Peter asks Jesus a valid question:

What if my brother continues to sin repetitively against me after confessing and repenting of the original sin? How many times should I forgive him?

Important points to remember:

1. Jesus is not talking about civil or criminal offenses:
2. He is referring specifically to Christians who, having been biblically confronted, have already confessed and repented of their sin(s).
3. He is referring to Christians who keep committing the same sin, but keep responding biblically to their repeated failure.

If a fellow believer has sinned against you, you have an obligation as a citizen of God’s kingdom, to follow the biblical steps of reconciliation - Matthew 18:15-17. If your brother or sister confesses and repents of their sin, you are obligated by God to forgive and restore that person.

We all sin and hurt one another unintentionally or otherwise. The thing that should differentiate us as believers is the way we handle our own sin and the sin of others. Biblically, these things should be dealt with in love. But often we find all kinds of excuses for not dealing with the problem directing and in a biblical manner.

In this message, Pastor Bob explains the obstacles to reconciliation, biblical motivation for reconciliation and offers practical steps to reconciling. Click for his Sermon notes and Outline.
