God Plans to Develop Rel’n with Us

Starts from scratch with AbrahamHas plan to build a nation he can call “His Own”Gives Abraham a promise:

• Gen 1518-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates– 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."

From Patriarchs to Moses

Exod 1240-41 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.

Exod 3:7-8 God saw the people’s misery– God wants to bring his people out of Egypt– He plans on taking them to Fertile Lands!

The United Kingdom

Height of their gloryGen 1518 To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates–

God had a special relationship with DavidGod Protected Israel for a long time

Page 16: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

The United Kingdom

Three kings reign in Israel during this time– Saul led Israel for 42 years (1 Sam 131)– David led Israel for 40 years (2 Sam 54)– Solomon led Israel for 40 years (I Kings 1142)

United Kingdom = one nation– Even though there was much turmoil

Page 17: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

We come to King Solomon…

1 Chr 226-10 David was not to build the temple– His son Solomon would (peace on every side)– How would David feel about this?– Solomon is treated as a son

Page 18: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

The Life of Solomon

He Inherited the Kingdom from David 1 Kings 128-30

David Charges Him 1 Kings 22-4

He Humbly asked God for Wisdom 1 Kings 35-9

He Was honored by God for his HEART! 1 Kings 310-14

God Warned Him (as he does us!) 1 Kings 96-7

He Built an Incredible Kingdom 1 Kings 106-9

He Compromised ONE Area of His Life 1 Kings 111-2, 6

– Gave into his temptation with women…– Thought he was strong / above God’s direction– Paid SEVERLY for his pride…divided God’s Kingdom FOREVER!

He Paid Severely for His Sin 1 Kings 1111-13

Page 19: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

Do Not Intermarry!

WHERE? (Does God tell us)– Old Testament Deut 71-6

– New Testament 2 Cor 614-18 WHY? (Does God expect this)– God wants us to be faithful to him– He knows it leads our hearts astray– Be ‘yoked’ with someone who has the same

convictions! – Rev 184 Then I heard another voice from heaven

say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

Page 20: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

Do Not Intermarry! (cont.)

WHAT? (Happens when we don’t obey)– Solomon didn’t think it necessary to obey in

this area of his life– He considered himself strong– Although he followed God in every other

way, this area caused the problem / division

Page 21: God’s Mighty Strength! God’s People Disobey The Divided Kingdom Class #6

Teen Application

2 Cor 112-3 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Phil 214-16, 2 Tim 222, Rev 141-4

We need deep convictions about Godly datingWe should WANT to date disciples (because of mutual convictions!)The #1 goal of dating/marriage is a partner in the gospel

– Gen 218 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

– Mark 1225 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Marriage is a temporary blessing while we are on this earth!

The Reason

Daniel sums up the cause of the Kingdom’s downfall…

Dan 97 “Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame-- the men of Judah and people of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you.”
