"The Kings: Faithfulness and Failure in Israel and Judah" by Chris Young Part 1

June 4, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class

 

This episode delves into the turbulent era of King Jeroboam, the first ruler of the divided Kingdom of Israel. We explore the backdrop of Solomon's reign, characterized by prosperity and wisdom, and how his disobedience led to the kingdom's division. The narrative reveals Jeroboam's rise as a leader noted for his valor and industrious nature, and the subsequent promise of power and influence over the ten tribes of Israel.

The story unfolds with Jeroboam's downfall rooted in fear and paranoia, leading him to make disastrous decisions that altered the religious and political landscape of Israel. His reign, marked by the establishment of golden calves as objects of worship and the reshuffling of priestly duties, serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of prioritizing power over faithfulness to God's commands.

Join us as we unravel these historical events, highlighting the crucial lessons on leadership, obedience, and the inevitable consequences of turning away from divine guidance.
