Kings Series

A series on the books of Kings that includes teaching that explores what God is saying to us today through these biblical stories and events, along with periodic ‘deep dive’ discursive reflections on particular questions that arise as we go through the books. The teaching and reflections will be released periodically – sometimes weekly, frequently on an ad-hoc basis!
