Episode Synopsis

This week, Pastor David calls the church to rediscover Scripture, remove hidden idols, and restore the temple of God in our lives (2 Kings 22–23). What we tolerate becomes what we celebrate, and what we celebrate becomes what we accept. It’s time to clean house.1. DISTRACTIONS & FOCUS - The enemy loves distraction. - We must quiet our hearts to receive God’s Word.2. THE CYCLE: TOLERATE → CELEBRATE → ACCEPT - Sin tolerated by one generation becomes celebrated by the next. - Manasseh → Amon → Josiah illustrates how compromise spreads.3. THE LOST WORD (DISCOVERY) - The Book of the Law was present but forgotten in the temple. - Revival begins when Scripture is rediscovered and obeyed.4. JOSIAH’S RESPONSE — REPENTANCE & REFORM - Josiah heard the Word, humbled himself, and acted. - He destroyed idols, removed false priests, and restored the temple.5. WE ARE THE TEMPLE - CLEAN YOUR CLOSET - 1 Corinthians 6:19 — the Spirit lives in us. - Modern “idols”: media, lust, greed, comfort, pride, subscriptions, bad habits. - Practical step: identify and remove what defiles your home and heart.6. REVIVAL BEGINS WITH REPENTANCE - Judgment begins in God’s house, but so does mercy. - If we turn, God hears, forgives, and restores the land, the family, the home.
