Day 102: Prophecy, DISOBEDIENCE, and Decline in 1 Kings 13-15 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 102 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we explore 1 Kings 13-15. A prophet confronts Jeroboam’s idolatry but falls to deception, while kings in Israel and Judah waver between evil and reform. These chapters reveal the consequences of straying from God’s word amid a divided kingdom’s spiritual decay.

Questions:
1. The prophet’s obedience in chapter 13 turns to disobedience under deception—how does this tragedy deepen our theological understanding of the vulnerability of even God’s servants to sin, and the absolute necessity of clinging to His revealed will?

2. Jeroboam’s false altars in chapter 13 provoke divine judgment—how might this rebellion challenge us to consider the theological weight of worship as an act that either honors God’s holiness or defies His exclusive claim on our allegiance?

3. Asa’s partial reforms in chapter 15 contrast with pervasive evil—how does this mixed legacy invite us to reflect on the tension between human efforts at righteousness and the need for God’s transformative grace to fulfill His covenant promises?
