A Miserable Business | 1 Kings 14

Introduction Why should I care about the consequences of sin? 1. The Death of Jeroboam's Son (v1-20) 2. The Bankruptcy of Rehoboam's Reign (v11-22) 3. The Consequences of Sin (Romans 1:21-32) Conclusion Sin is a miserable business. We should care about sin because God hates sin, and he will not leave any sin unpunished. How then should we live? Remember we are all sinners. So, stay humble and prayerful. Pray for one another. Although we are all sinners, God still cares for us; and he has given us the means to take up the fight against sin. Pray that God will 'Deliver us from evil.' Don't hide the truth. Secrecy is one of Satan's biggest weapons. Don't hide in the shadows. Keep putting sin to death in your own life. Know yourself. Know your weaknesses and know your times of temptation. Flee from sin! Strive to be holy, as God has called you to be.
