Listen "Turning Points: Rehoboam"
Episode Synopsis
REVIEW.
“What did you take away from last time?” [Refer to last week’s responses.] “How did that go?”
Sermon Summary:
Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, is given an opportunity to be king of all Israel but he seeks to gain that position by seeking the counsel of those who stroke his ego, determining to serve only himself, and using power to control others. Israel revolts against his powerplay, and the kingdom is divided.
In contrast to Rehoboam, we see how Jesus' rise to greatness was through contentment, servanthood, and obedience to His Father.
READ.
Key Passage: 1 Kings 12:4-11
Discussion Questions:
Truth: What was Rehoboam’s (unsuccessful) path in trying to become king? Describe Jesus' path to greatness in Philippians 2:6-9.
Repentance: Where is God calling you to grow in influence and authority?
Faith: What does that path practically look like?
RESPOND.
Ask God, how can today’s discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together. [Record responses and prayer requests.]
