This message traces the fracture of Israel after Solomon’s disobedience, as Rehoboam rejects wise counsel and chooses pride, leading to a divided kingdom, while Jeroboam secures power through fear and false worship. It invites us to examine whose voices we trust and whether we are living in God’s bigger story or shrinking life down to our own agendas. Ultimately, the call is toward humility, unity, and recognizing that we are stronger—and more faithful—when we pursue God together rather than building our own kingdoms.
