Thanks so much for listening to our podcast! This sermon is based on the Narrative Lectionary reading for this past week: 1 Kings 12:1–17, 25–29. It is the story of the dissolution of the United Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and the rise to power for two kings, Rehoboam in the south and Jeroboam in the north. It's a hard, disheartening text, but one that may fit well with everything that's going on in the world today. We hope it will be a word of encouragement to you this week.
