The Weakness of Strength

by Alistair Begg

2 Chronicles 26:1–23
 (ID: 3686)

Powerful, decisive, and influential, King Uzziah did what was right in God’s eyes, sought Him, and set himself under godly instruction. And God gave him success! Unfortunately, we then read, “when he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction,” ending his life afflicted, marginalized, and remembered mostly as a leper. Alistair Begg tracks the rise and fall of this tragic king, which serves as a warning for pastors and church leaders about the dangers of spiritual pride and the necessity of dependence on God for strength.
