Jeroboam A Kingdom Lost to Expediency 1 Kings 12

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]A @Christadelphians Video: **YouTube Video Summary / Description:** Description: This theme looks briefly at the causes of failure of king Jeroboam. He was Israel's (the northern kingdom), first king. Jeroboam had plenty of potential. God made Jeroboam a conditional promise which he did not believe. In the end, fear led Jeroboam to compromise the truth and he took matters into his own hands to ensure that he retained political and religious power in the north. Such a compromise led to disaster. Dive deep into an expositional Bible study on 1 Kings 12, exploring the pivotal moment when the kingdom of Israel was divided. This thought-provoking talk examines the tragic story of Jeroboam, a man with incredible potential for good, promised a lasting dynasty by God if he remained faithful. Instead, his reign became synonymous with leading the nation into sin. Discover how a kingdom was lost to expediency—the dangerous temptation to compromise divine truth for political convenience and personal security. This revealing study uncovers timeless warnings about the deceitfulness of our own hearts, the peril of blending truth with error, and the importance of faithful servant leadership over worldly wisdom. Join us for a wonderful journey through God's Word that is as relevant today as it was millennia ago. **Chapters / Timestamps:** 00:00 - Introduction: A Kingdom at a Crossroads 03:49 - Rehoboam's Foolish Choice & Servant Leadership 07:13 - Jeroboam's God-Given Potential 12:03 - The Promise: A Legacy Like David's 14:32 - Jeroboam's Fear and Counsel of Expediency 18:23 - 1.
