Don't Assume This About God!

In 1 Kings 20, Israel's enemies thought Israel’s God ruled the hills, so fighting on the plains would give them the advantage.

God gave Israel victory anyway.

He's not just God of the mountains. He's God of the valleys too.

Does God Scream?

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah was waiting for God. A wind came, an earthquake came, a fire came. Still, God was not there.

Then came a gentle whisper.

Sometimes we look for God in the dramatic while He's speaking in the quiet.

Why make a fire impossible to burn?

In 1 Kings 18, before Elijah calls on God to send fire from heaven, he pours water on the altar three times; but God sent fire anyway.

Sometimes God lets things look impossible so there’s no question who gets the credit.

This might be the strangest way God ever answered a prayer.

In 1 Kings 17, Elijah is hiding during a drought, so God sends ravens to feed him.

God's provision often comes from places you never saw coming.

God isn't limited by your expectations.

How does compromise destroy a bloodline?

In 1 Kings 16, Israel's leaders kept drifting away from God.

Distance from God grows gradually when we stop drawing near to Him.

Though drifting feels harmless, eventually every choice catches up with you.

Imagine becoming king, and still repeating every mistake before you.

In 1 Kings 15, King Abijam had every opportunity to change the direction of his nation.

But he followed the same sinful path as the kings before him.
Because of that, nothing changed.

Imagine hearing this prophecy about your child.

In 1 Kings 14, King Jeroboam's son becomes deathly sick.

So Jeroboam sends his wife to a prophet and he says their son will die because judgment was coming on Jeroboam's house.

Should You Really Listen To Advisors?

In 1 Kings 12, when the people asked for a lighter burden, Rehoboam ignored the wise advice to serve them humbly and instead chose harshness.

Rehoboam rejected his wise advisors, and the result was a divided kingdom.

What Happens When You Compromise?

Though God blessed Solomon, he didn’t keep his heart fully devoted.
1 Kings 11: His wives turned his heart after other gods.

God was deeply displeased with Solomon, so He declared the kingdom would be torn from his house.

How Was Solomon Abundant?

1 Kings 10 shows Solomon’s wealth on full display.

However, the world's attention was drawn to his wisdom.

Leaders from far away came to test him, and were left stunned.

His wisdom was God-given and impossible to ignore.

What Did God Promise Solomon?

God says in 1 Kings 9:4-5: "If you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, then I will establish the throne of your dynasty over Israel forever.”

What Did Solomon Pray For Israel?

In 1 Kings 8, Solomon prayed that if Israel sinned, God would still hear them when they repented.

Even in his moment of victory, Solomon was wise enough to think about the future.

Does God care about the details?

1 Kings 7 slows down to describe Solomon’s palace & the temple furnishings.

This chapter shows that God values precision. The temple was crafted with intentional design.

The details were part of reverence.

How did Solomon build the temple?

1 Kings 6 says he began building in his 4th year as king, and it was finished 7 years later.

Every part was carefully prepared, & even the stones were dressed at the quarry so that no iron tool was heard at the temple site.

Who Was King Hiram?

King Hiram was the ruler of Tyre, and an ally of both David and Solomon.

In 1 Kings 5, he helped Solomon prepare materials for the temple.

Even though Hiram was not an Israelite, God still used him in the building of His house.

1 Kings 4 shows that Solomon’s kingdom was founded on wisdom.

Solomon became famous because of the wisdom God gave him. Verse 30 says: "In fact, his wisdom exceeded that of all the wise men of the East and the wise men of Egypt."

What did Solomon ask God for?

In 1 Kings 3:9, Solomon asks: "Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil”.

God was pleased with Solomon’s request, and also gave him riches and honor.

What were David’s final words to Solomon?

In 1 Kings 2, before David died, he gave his son a final charge.

Even though David’s life was not perfect, his final counsel pointed in the right direction: obedience to God, and trust in His faithfulness.

#grandpasbibletrek

Who did God want to be David’s successor?

In 1 Kings 1, David’s eldest living son exalted himself as the next king. However, Solomon was God’s chosen next king.

When Nathan learned what he was doing, he warned Bathsheba and helped her bring it to David.
