Continuing our journey through the great stories of the Bible, we enter a season of the ancient Jewish world called The Divided Kingdom. Following the death of King David, God’s people divide into a Northern Kingdom (called Israel) and a Southern Kingdom (called Judea). In this three-week series, we’ll explore how wisdom can keep us from the temptations of power and can transform our relationships, our connection with God, and in our own souls. During our weekend services we’ll explore King Rehoboam’s Lack of Wisdom (1 Kings 12), The Prophet Elisha and the Healing of Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-19), and King Josiah’s Reform (2 Kings 22-23) with our Life Groups reading Elijah and the Prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18), God Responds to Hezekiah (2 Kings 20), and the Fall of Jerusalem (2 Kings 24:18-25:21). This series will also reference Proverbs as a source of wisdom during this time period and for us.

How quickly do you respond to good advice? In this final week of our GET WISE series, we’ll look at the story of King Josiah – a sixteen-year-old who had a heart for God and a quick response to wisdom. We’ll see how he prioritized God in his life and how we can do the same.

We are people who like to be prepared and in control. In fact, there’s almost nothing that will interrupt our lives as much as situations that turn out to be different than our expectations. How, then, do we process God’s directions that might look different than our life plan? How can we navigate the moment when God’s instructions shake up our expectations? This Sunday we’ll learn from the story of an ancient warrior in the Bible who overcame his own self-protective instincts to let God completely transform his life.

Making decisions is challenging! And the bigger the decision, the more pressure! How can we learn to grow in our decision-making ability? This week, we begin a new series of messages called Get Wise. We’ll be looking at three leaders in ancient Israel who responded to advice in very different ways and the impact they had. And we’ll start this Sunday with the story of King Rehoboam. We’ll see how his rejection of wisdom brough division and how we can welcome wisdom in ways that bring unity!
