Divided Kingdom: Rehoboam and Jeroboam's legacy
Divided Kingdom: Rehoboam and Jeroboam
1 Kings 11-14 and @ Chronicles 10-12
If you notice the abundance of leadership books on the market today, you get a sense that we place a high value on good leadership. Leaders not only impact the nature of our work and whether we'll enjoy what we do, they set the tone for the organization's culture, outlook, mission and vision, and generally accepted attitudes that make up the social-cultural vibe of the people they manage.
How importantly then we see how God takes a strong interest in the kings of Israel. We see kings become overcome by their fears, doubts, uncertainties even as God gives them special promises that He would bless them if they only followed His commands and statutes for leading His people.
Why do kings and leaders go stray from God's design and prescription for godly leadership? Today, we'll take a look at three kings: King Solomon, King Jeroboam, and King Rehoboam and take away vital life lessons from they departure from God's gracious promises and plans.
Notes:
*** CORRECTION: Our TL announced that our fellowship is Oct 8th. Actually, it is for all groups the WEEK OF Oct 8th. So if you're meeting on Tuesday, it will be Oct 11th. Our 1st Baptist Church groups will enjoy the fellowship on Oct 11th at 6pm.
Concluding music selection Scott Brenner - Levites. Your Grace is an Ocean
Recommended readings on the unity of the Gospel message tying the OT with the NT, Graeme Goldsworthy's three part book, Gospel Kingdom, Gospel's Wisdom, and The Gospel in Revelation (Trilogy).
The review by Brian Hedges (ck the above link, his is the first Amazon review) is excellent. He says: "This brief foray into history is concluded with the author's contention that "the most compelling reason for Christians to read and study the Old Testament lies in the New Testament" (18). The New Testament, with at least 1600 direct quotations from Old, and several thousand more allusions, "presupposes a knowledge of the Old Testament." The attitude of Christ Himself towards the Old Testament must determine our own. "The more we study the New Testament the more apparent becomes the conviction shared by Jesus, the apostles and the New Testament writers in general: namely, the Old Testament is Scripture and Scripture points to Christ" (19-20). Just how the Old Testament points to Christ is what we must learn. The New Testament itself will govern our steps as we remember that "the process of redemptive history finds its goal, its focus and fulfillment in the person and work of Christ. This is the principle underlying this book" (20)."
