Kings of Israel

Central Truth:

Ungodly rulers influence people to sin

Key Verse: 1 Kings 16:30

Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.

Ministry in Action:

- The history of Israel's monarchy shows how power can corrupt anyone - even those who have been anointed by God to lead. Pray for the leaders in your church and community to honor God and lead with integrity.

- Spend time in repentant prayer, asking God to reveal any idols that may have taken up residence in your heart. With the help of the Holy Spirit, commit to faithfully serve only God.

- Sometimes spiritual leaders can become discouraged when they don't meet the world's standard of success. Find a way to encourage your pastor, remind her that, in God's kingdom, success is defined by a person's obedience to God.
