With God: In History - Rehoboam [20]

Author: Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church May 17, 2026 Duration: 38:10

2 Chronicles 12:1-12 // Caleb Jenkins

In this sermon, we walk through the account of Rehoboam’s abandonment of the faith and the subsequent arrival of the Egyptian army. We discuss the message from the prophet Shemaiah, which forced the leaders of Israel to recognize their own role in the crisis. We analyze the exchange of the golden shields for shields of bronze, illustrating how sin often results in a loss of glory and a cheapening of what was once precious. By studying these twelve verses, we see a pattern of grace: even after a period of unfaithfulness, God responds to a humble heart, reminding us that he does not seek to destroy us, but to bring us back into a right relationship with him.

Each week, the community at Christ Community Church's Leawood Campus gathers, and this Christ Community Church-Leawood Campus-SUNDAY MESSAGES podcast brings those moments to you wherever you are. As part of Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church, these recordings capture the live Sunday morning teachings, offering a direct connection to the ongoing conversation about faith, life, and practical spirituality. You'll hear explorations of biblical texts framed within the complexities of modern existence, addressing how ancient wisdom intersects with contemporary questions of work, family, and community. The discussions naturally weave through themes of belief, personal growth, and ethical living, reflecting the church's holistic view that faith informs all areas of life, including our roles in business and non-profit endeavors. This podcast serves as an audio archive for regular attendees who want to revisit a message and an open door for anyone curious about a thoughtful, grounded approach to Christianity. The tone is conversational yet substantive, aiming for clarity and relevance without pretense. It’s not a produced show with interviews or segments; the value is in the continuity of weekly reflection and the development of ideas over time within a specific local church context. Listen for a consistent voice exploring the narrative of scripture and its application to everyday challenges and aspirations, all from the perspective of this particular church family in Leawood.
