Hezekiah's Reforms

This sermon examines the prayer of King Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 30, highlighting his role as an intercessor who pleads for the forgiveness of those who are not ritually clean but have sincere hearts seeking God. The message contrasts the historical context of Hezekiah's worship reformation with the theological reality of Christ as the ultimate advocate who intercedes for believers before the Father. It emphasises that true worship is defined by humility and a contrite heart rather than mere ritual compliance, drawing a parallel between Hezekiah's plea for pardon and Jesus' provision of atonement. The sermon concludes by encouraging the congregation to rely on Christ's ongoing intercession and to pursue genuine reformation of worship in their own lives and nation.
