Listen "Undivided: Repeating old patterns | Natasja Kotzé"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when we stop trusting God – and start making our own plans?
As Pastor Natasja wraps up our miniseries, we shift from Colossians to the powerful story of Jeroboam, Ahab, Jezebel, Elijah, and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings. It’s a vivid picture of a divided kingdom … and divided hearts.
Faced with uncertainty and fear, Jeroboam chose control over trust, leading Israel into syncretism – the blending of true worship with false gods. His compromise would ripple through generations, until Elijah stands alone on Mount Carmel, calling God’s people back to wholehearted devotion.
But this isn’t just ancient history. It’s our story too.
When life feels dry, delayed, or desperate, how often do we turn to other sources of hope, mixing things into our faith that were never meant to be there? From the sins of Jeroboam to the warnings in Colossians, Scripture consistently challenges us to root out compromise and live fully devoted, undivided lives.
💬 “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him[.]” 1 Kings 18:21 NIVUK
