1 Kings 11:1-40
- Review the regulations regarding the choice of kings that Moses recorded in Deut. 17:14ff. How has the violation of those decrees affected Solomon’s leadership and the future of his kingdom?
- What does this tell you about the consequences of our disobedience?
- Upon what basis does God promise to bless Jeroboam?
Ecclesiastes 1:1 – 2:26
- As Solomon reflects on his life what has power, indulgence, and prosperity taught him about life?
- What does the test of pleasure teach Solomon about wine, women, and song – about life?
- What does complete giving over to indulgence lead to?
- How would you describe the quest of most Americans?
- What does man need in life to experience genuine pleasure?
PRAYER
Pray for our president, our lawmakers, and judges. How we need leaders who are more concerned about the commands and decrees of God than about having positions of power.
