Dynasties, fractured kingdoms, prophecies of hardships-the book of 1 Kings is a grand, sweeping narrative of the beginning of the downfall of God’s people.
Its size and scope may seem intimidating, but Phil Ryken shows us in this biblical, doctrinal, practical, and Christological commentary how this imposing book can be divided into three key sections.
First, the stories of Solomon focus on the themes of money, sex, & power, inviting us to learn from Solomon’s example. Will we use these things wisely for kingdom purposes, or foolishly abuse them for selfish gain?
Then the middle, on the divided kingdom, shows the destructive consequences of sin among the people of God-especially the sin of idolatry.
The final section demonstrates the power of prayer to the true and living God, as exemplified in the life and ministry of God’s prophet Elijah.
