Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Alyssa Bream to explore the final chapters of Judah's story - a hardened heart, missed Sabbaths, and God's surprising use of an unlikely king to move history forward.

Scripture Focus: 2 Chronicles 35-36 traces Judah's rapid decline through its last kings, ending in exile - but closes with the decree of Cyrus of Persia, pointing toward restoration.

In This Episode:

What it means for a heart to reach "no remedy"
Why rest is a matter of trust, not a reward
How God used a pagan king, Cyrus, to fulfill his purposes
The difference between being used by God and being godly

Key Quote: "The problem is not that God runs out of mercy - I think the human heart runs out of its capacity to receive it."
