Luke Tattersall
There are a few books in both the Old and the New Testament that get overlooked when it comes to preparing the preaching program and 2 Kings is certainly among that group. It is not that the material in 2 Kings is totally unfamiliar. We know a few of the stories in there, we heard them when we were in Sunday School – the story of Elijah being taken up into heaven, Naaman being healed of his leprosy, or perhaps you remember the story of Josiah who came to the throne at the age of eight. That was always popular with the Sunday School class. But most people wonder what to do with the rest of it, and decide it is better to just leave it alone. Let the Sunday School teachers pick the best parts and don’t worry about the other 22 chapters. But to confine this book to the Sunday School is a big mistake. It really is worth another look.
