Date: Sunday, August 31, 2025
Show Summary: In 2 Kings 12, King Joash directs temple repairs funded through transparent giving—highlighting faithful stewardship and integrity. Yet his reforms stop short, the high places remain, and in crisis he strips temple treasures to buy peace from Hazael. The passage calls us to wholehearted obedience and finishing well by God’s grace.
