Naboth's Vineyard - You Didn't Hear This One in Sunday School - 1 Kings 21

In the story of King Ahab and Naboth's Vineyard, we see just how low earthly rulers can go. Elijah rebukes Ahab and Ahab has a surprising response. It also offers hope for even the worst sinners.

This was a great preaching! Praise God!

The story reminds me of our government how we can own our own property and somehow or another the government can come in and take it over

This sort of move was common among the ancient nations but Israel had laws limiting kings

We did this chapter this morning with our kids. One thing we came up with was, Naboth knew Ahab couldn't inherit more in Israel...which means everyone probably knew it. A weak King rules their own people ruthlessly, all the while making treaties with their enemies...while the King of Kings is ruthless with His enemies and shows grace to those who obey him.

[@AaronVriesman]

Yes absolutely. Ahab contrasts the King of kings quite well.

We should practice justice for better in society

[@AaronVriesman]

@constance we certainly must practice justice. But there is more to the passage than self improvement.

Fear Injustice, run away from it!

This is what jealous people need
