Where God places His name in worship is where His people should place their first financial fruits. Your Tithe Takes Care of God's Ministry.

Like so many others who profess to know God but hold onto the idols of destruction, Jeroboam's fundamental problem was that he had no fear of God. This is the Twelfth Sermon in the series, The Kingdom Divided, an exposition on First Book of the Kings.

The sermon presents a theological and historical exploration of the church's development, emphasizing that the nature of the church—distinct from Israel and the earthly kingdom—shapes its understanding of end times. It traces the evolution from the early church's literal and allegorical interpretation of Scripture to the medieval period's allegorical dominance, which led to the church's politicization and identification with the kingdom of God, culminating in papal supremacy. The Reformation's recovery of justification by faith alone was accompanied by a partial retention of this political theology, especially in the Lutheran and Reformed traditions, which upheld amillennialism and rejected a future role for ethnic Israel. In contrast, the Anabaptists and later English Puritans, through a return to literal biblical interpretation, affirmed a future restoration of Israel, a literal millennial kingdom, and a clear distinction between the church and the nation of Israel. This ecclesiological clarity, rooted in Scripture and developed over centuries, paved the way for John Nelson Darby's articulation of the church as a heavenly, spiritual body united with Christ in the heavenlies, awaiting the pre-tribulational rapture—a doctrine grounded in the believer's present spiritual union with Christ and the imminent hope of His return.

God's people are to only eat in a manner that is not an abomination to Him but rather His glorification. Eat and Drink to God's Holy Glory.

God's separated people who have the certainty of eternal life in Christ and the resurrection should not grieve the death of their loved ones in the Lord like the world but distinctively show their holy hope in heaven. Don't Grieve Your Deceased Brethren with a Worldly Lack of Hope in Heaven.

God's call on His people to live a clean, holy, separate, sanctified life that honors His name is because of who they are as He has made them in Himself and their own identity and reputation in Christ. As God's Blessed People Be Blessed.

Jeroboam's man-made Worship model was a serious afront to the Honor and Holiness of God. By violating the Law of God's Worship, Jeroboam destroyed himself, his legacy and the entire nation of Isreal, with Judah close behind. This is the Seventh Sermon in the series, The Kingdom Divided, an exposition on First Book of the Kings.

Rehoboam will now face the repercussions of his willful apostacy. This is the Fifth Sermon in the series, The Kingdom Divided, an exposition on First Book of the Kings.
