Dennis is live at Reston Presbyterian Church to talk about false gods, discipleship and the big mystery that changed a nation. How did so many false gods infest the Temple of Jerusalem? Why did a King ditch his father and grandfather's religionS?? What was the society changing secret?
A Lost Art: "Follow Me"
2 Chronicles 34.1-8 and 14-19 (Parallel Passages: 2 Kings 22 & 23)
Context & Background: Deuteronomy 17.19-20; 1 Kings 13.1-2; 2 Kings 21; Jeremiah 1 & 2; Nehemiah; Matthew 16.24; Matthew 28.19; Mark 1.16; Luke 9.23; John 8.31; John 13.35; 2 Corinthians 5.17
Overview:
1) How did the false gods of Chemosh, Ashtoreth, Molech, Baal and Milcomm come to set up shop inside the Temple of Jerusalem?
2) What message from God did Hilkiah, a mentor/discipler of King Josiah discover when he started Temple renovations?
3) Could it be that those gods are still among us? And the import of that message lost again?
Judah’s “follow” of God had been "hacked" - malware of the gods
Why the emphasis on “Follow Me”? Because it is your Mission
What caused Josiah to NOT be like his father Amon?
Mentors - Hilkiah; Shaphan; (Possibly his grandfather Mannaseh?)
Wingmen - Abdon, Ahikam and Jeremiah
Josiah credited with “doing right”, but no clue how far off base he is!
Then it happens: 2 Chronicles 34:14 – 19
The theme of Deuteronomy? “Follow Me, Like This”
Diagnostic “Follow Me” questions:
1. Have you ever been personally discipled? (Not meaning a class/small group)
2. Do you have a wingman/woman? (Not your spouse)
3. Could you mentor someone in “Follow Me” if asked?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
