A Kingdom Divided | Feb 1 | Lesson #1 | 13
A Kingdom Divided - 1 Kings 11-13
KEY PASSAGE: 1 Kings 8:60
BIG PICTURE QUESTION: How many gods are there? There is one true God who alone
deserves worship.
CHRIST CONNECTION: Rehoboam rejected good advice, and his foolish pride led to a
divided kingdom. Jesus, the truly wise King, unites all who trust in Him and brings them into
His kingdom forever.
STORY POINT: Rehoboam’s foolish sin divided the kingdom.
AT HOME:
Why did Rehoboam reject the elders’ good advice? Read Prov. 16:18
How can our hearts be ‘divided’? Why does God deserve all our worship? Read Rom. 5:6-11
Why is it important that Christ followers have a servant-like attitude? Read Col 3:17
