1 Kings 22 sermon, Part 2 of 2: “Compromise”

From a sermon series on 1 Kings by See Huang Lim, a missionary at IBF. Today’s message is my last one on the book of 1 Kings. Last month, we read about the death of King Ahab, one of Israel’s most stubborn and unrepentant kings. Today’s passage is about King Jehoshaphat. While Ahab reigned in the northern kingdom of Israel, his ally Jehoshaphat reigned in the southern kingdom of Judah. I’ll give historical background on the passage, but mainly I would like to talk about the theme of compromise. Let’s pray. [Read 1 Kings 22:41-50] Jehoshaphat’s Compromise Verse 43 is somewhat refreshing after all we have read about evil kings
