The True King Brings Rest – 1 King 12:1-24

Did you know a single prideful decision by Solomon's son permanently divided God's people into two kingdoms?

His story stands as a powerful warning about the consequences of pride and reminds us that who we listen to shapes who we become. Listen now as we explore how Rehoboam's failure points us to our need for Jesus, the humble King who perfectly models the discernment and God-dependence we all require.
