The Danger of Disobeying

In this verse-by-verse study of 1 Kings 13 and 14, we examine a pivotal and sobering turning point in the history of Israel. As the nation remains divided, we witness the devastating consequences of spiritual compromise and the high cost of departing from the clear Word of God.

In this session, we cover:

The Man of God and the Old Prophet (Chapter 13): A haunting reminder that partial obedience is still disobedience. We look at the prophetic warning against Jeroboam’s false altar and the tragic end of the messenger who allowed himself to be deceived.

The Judgment on the House of Jeroboam (Chapter 14): Even in disguise, Jeroboam’s wife cannot hide the truth from the Lord’s prophet. We see the final verdict on a king who "made Israel to sin" and Rehoboam’s troubled reign in Judah.

Key Themes:

God's judgement on false worship

The necessity of total obedience

God's control over nature

The futility of deception

The failure to lead well

The consequences of sin.
