TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES

1 KINGS 11

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. THE FOOLISH WISE MAN [v. 1-8]

 

1. “Fooled” by the World [v. 1-2, 1 John 2:15]

 

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

 

2. “Fooled” by the Flesh [v. 2c-4a, Galatians 5:17]

 

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

 

3. “Fooled” by the Devil [v. 4-8, Psalm 106:37, 1 Corinthians 10:19-20]

 

- Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

-What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.


II. THE MAGNITUDE OF HIS FOLLY [v. 8-13]

 

1. Forsaking the God which had Appeared unto Him [v. 8-9]

foolish to use this to say God approves polygamy.

 

2. Forsaking the Word of God [v. 10]

 

3. Forsaking the Opportunity to Repent [v. 11-13]

 

III. THE FRUIT OF HIS FOLLY [v. 14-43]

 

1. The Harassment of Hadad [v. 14-22]

 

2. The Hatred of Rezon [v. 23-25]

 

3. The Horror of Jeroboam [v. 26-43]
