Summary and Goal
Israel was a nation that had received many beautiful promises from God, but God had also promised that if they forgot Him and went after false gods and became like the other nations, there would be consequences.
In accordance with His character and glory, God always keeps His promises, both those of blessing and those of judgment.
In this session, we will see the consequences of Israel’s idolatry.
Though God had been good to them and warned them about their evil ways, they still persisted in their sin.
Israel had seen God’s glory through His blessings, and now they would see it in His judgment.
Session Outline
++Idolatry results when people fail to [look for, or] see God’s goodness (2 Kings 17:6-12).
++Idolatry [inhibits] people from heeding God’s warnings (2 Kings 17:13-17).
++Idolatry leads [God to discipline His people] (2 Kings 17:18-20).
Background Passage: 2 Kings 17
Session in a Sentence
God’s love for His people [COMPELS] Him to warn them of their idolatry and to discipline them [when] they [don’t] repent.
++The only true hope is to put all hope in God.
Christ Connection
The people of Israel sinned against God and worshiped idols.
God warned them to turn from their evil ways and obey Him, but they refused and were disciplined by Him.
Israel’s rebellion reminds us of our own idolatry and need to repent.
