Think with your Head not your Heart | 1 Kings 11:1-8
Sermon Summary:
The more you read about Israel in the books of 1 & 2 Kings, the more troubled and disturbed you become. All around is corruption, conflict, and sin. The kings are supposed to be godly leaders, yet they give up the one true God for false gods. They give up truth for foolishness. They give up worshipping the Creator to worship created things. It seems to be hopeless. In this text, King Ahaziah is a troubled leader of a troubled nation. Yet, the prophet Elijah is still around, remaining faithful to the Lord. There are many similarities between ancient Israel and our modern world. Join Pastor Smith for this sermon as we see how dangerous it is to give up God. You may want to give up all hope when you see the extent of our troubled world. But there still is a God–keep holding onto Him in hope, and He will save you!
Ancient Israel was very troubled, just like our own modern world is very troubled.
Is it because there is no God?
The most foolish thing you can do is give up God. (Romans 1:22-25)
If you give up God, then God will give you up. “You will surely die.”
The Story of King Ahaziah and Elijah…
Our troubled world will continue to give up God and His Word. As for you–don’t give up!
Don’t give up hope. Don’t give up truth. Don’t give up God.
Our prayer for our troubled world is this: Lord, have mercy.
Our message for our troubled world is this: The Lord, He is God.
