The Book of Kings

Experience God

WISDOM

1 KINGS 1  (King for a Day)
God alone establishes who His authority is on earth. Man can either rebel and sin or accept His will and receive grace.

1 KINGS 2  (For Every Action There is a Consequence)
All sin can be forgiven by a loving God, but each sin will have consequences because He is a just God, too.

Sample: WEEK 2- FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A CONSEQUENCE

The counsel of men is never a substitute for the power of God’s word.

God will use bad examples of others to encourage us toward our best.

2 KINGS 17  (Time’s Up)
God’s command to repent should lead to immediate obedience. If you hear His voice, do not harden your heart.
