1 Kings 14:18

Many Old Testament kings went so far beyond foolishness, so far beyond any good sense that “stupid” is a far more accurate characterization of the choices these kings made during their reign. This 7-day devotional focuses on garnering wisdom from the mistakes of these “Stupid Kings”, as told from the book of 1 Kings.

From Genesis to Revelation, “God’s Redemption Story” outlines the narrative of God’s plan for the reconciliation of humanity. This 12-part reading plan summarizes the story of the Bible. 1 Kings through Ezra begins the fall of a fractured Israel yet God remains faithful to His people.

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Six of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled ‘The Nation Rebels, Divides and Declines, 975 BC–730 BC’.
