Sermon Notes:

Huldah. My guess is that you may not have heard her name before. It’s easy to miss her story. In fact, a friend shared a book with me, a book entitled, Legendary Women of the Bible … and the Lessons They Still Teach Us. Huldah’s story is not included. Many others are: Vashti, Esther, Abigail, Naomi, Zipporah, Martha, Mary, Joanna, and many more, but no Huldah.

And, on the other hand, consider the men whose names we think of when we think of biblical prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Elijah, Elisha, and the list could go on. But typically—missing from both lists—is the name Huldah. She just gets overlooked. And yet, in 2 Kings 22—where her story is told—she is clearly a prophet of renown. After all, when the king tells his advisers to go and inquire of the Lord on his behalf, where do they go? They go to Huldah the prophet.

What can Huldah teach us about God and who it is that God chooses to use? And what answer does Huldah provide to the question, In the Bible, what did women do?

Join me as we seek to find out!
