How to Ruined a Nation

In this week’s study, we reach a sobering turning point in the history of Israel. We witness the tragic end of King Solomon—the man who began his reign asking for wisdom, yet ended it in the folly of idolatry and self-reliance.

Join us as we examine the direct link between Solomon’s spiritual compromise and the eventual fracturing of the "United Kingdom". From the internal warnings of Scripture to the external political fallout under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, these chapters serve as a powerful reminder that God’s covenant demands wholehearted devotion and show the tragic results of what happen when men fail to love and lead well.

Key Themes We Explore:

The Drift of the Heart: How Solomon’s "many foreign wives" were the final influence that turned his heart away from the Lord.

The Sin of Rehoboam: The danger of listen to unwise counsel instead of seeking the will of God.

The Sin of Jeroboam: The danger of "convenient" worship and the creation of man-made idols in Dan and Bethel.

A Call to Follow the True King: Why Christ, the "Servant King," is the only King who never falters.
