Bible Readings:                                                  

Overriding Responsibilities:  Isaiah 10:1-4

Ahab, 7^th Kings of Israel, continues to reject God’s Leadership:

-          War with Syria – 1 Kgs 20:1-4, 8, 13, 16, 19-23, 28, 30-34, 38-43

Hymn 126 (Tune 125):  The Lord Jehovah Reigns

·        Even after the demonstration of God’s Power through Elijah, Ahab continued to do evil

·        Three major events are recorded:

-         His disobedience in not destroying the enemy as commanded by God

-         His response to Naboth, through accepting his wife’s actions

-         His neglecting the advice of God’s prophet in going to war

·        Are we blind to the Power of God in the world around us

·        Despite what others are doing, as individuals, we must each seek to follow God’s will for our lives in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ as King of Kings

Hymn 72:  The Coming Kingdom
