1 Kings 12:1-17, 25-29 • Kingdom Divided
In a time when there is much violence, and unrest, negativity, and division, as people of faith we are called to serve, and to live our lives in love. What happens when we do not listen to the wise ones in our midst? What happens when we ignore the advice of our elders? When a leader is willing to serve and is motivated by love, people are brought together. How do we learn from Rehoboam and his decision to be served rather than to serve? How will the teaching of Jesus inspire us all to serve in love?
