(2 Kings 18:1-8, 13-18, 28-37; 19:1-2, 5-20, 32-37; 20:1-11) In continuation of our series of messages on Experiencing God’s Unusual Blessings, we want to consider the example of King Hezekiah.

(Luke 19:1-10; 1 Timothy 6:6-10) In his book, The Christian in Business, John E. Mitchell asks “Will Christianity and Business mix? Is God interested in the way we do our work?
