Discovering the Gospel in 1 & 2 Kings – Tim Keller

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical narrative of First and Second Kings, focusing on the historical progression of Israelite kings from Solomon through the divided kingdom to eventual exile. The transcript highlights the prophetic roles of Elijah and Elisha, who spoke God's messages to the kings and revealed why Israel was falling into oppression and failing to be faithful. Using the biblical account of Elijah hearing God in a "still small voice," the sermon suggests that divine intervention often occurs through weakness rather than strength, and emphasizes the importance of spiritual accountability and faithfulness in leadership.
