THE DIVIDED KINGDOM: THE MAIN POINT
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Divided Kingdom
a) Over a thousand years has passed since the times of Israel began. We have been through the times of the Promises to Abraham, Bondage in Egypt, Wandering in the Wilderness, Conquest of Canaan, Kingdom of David, and now we have entered the time of the Kingdom Divided.
2. The Main Point
a) Behind this story is the now familiar principle that God punishes unrepentant disobedience, and often used the wicked to punish the wicked. Solomon's sin is being punished by having the greater part of the kingdom torn away from his house by his own servant, who was by no means a righteous man himself. Another equally important principle is that sin and disobedience destroy unity and divide the people of God.
