The Prophets and Kings of the Divided Kingdom: King Manasseh - a podcast by John Stephenson

In this Talk we hear about King Manasseh, his life and legacy, as well as the background to his reign. He set up high places in Judah and can be seen as an evil king for much of his reign. Are there high places in our own lives? We can’t be the best disciple of Jesus if we live dual lives –tolerating our own sins (like a plank) but getting annoyed by others’ sins (their speck). There is a battle going on, but God is with us and for us. Chronicles describes how Manasseh repented, just like Paul of Tarsus did. We are encouraged to turn our default setting down so that we hate sin too. “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould” (Romans 12:2).

We also watched a video by Justin Welby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m9h3FoeXNA
