Main Themes of 1 Kings: – The danger of divided allegiance – Faithfulness in a faithless age – God's sovereignty over kings and nations – The tragedy of idolatry – The power of God's Word Key Reflection: God is sovereign, His Word stands, and only full-hearted devotion to Him leads to blessing.

  • The Death of Ahab & God’s Sovereignty – 1 Kings 22 (August 17, 2025)

    The Death of Ahab & God’s Sovereignty – 1 Kings 22 (August 17, 2025)
    Aug 17 2025
    In 1 Kings 22, we see false prophets appease a wicked king, a faithful prophet stand alone, and the sovereign plan of God unfold—even through the death of King Ahab. This chapter reminds us that God's Word never fails, no matter how powerful the world's leaders may seem or how unpopular the truth might be. Key Themes: • God's Word Will Stand – Even kings cannot escape God's decrees. • The Danger of False Prophets – Majority voices may still be deceived. • Courageous Truth-Telling – Micaiah's example teaches us to speak truth, not flatter. • The Folly of Self-Deception – Ahab believed what he wanted, not what God revealed. • Divine Sovereignty Over All – God ordains even the means of judgment. Main Takeaway: When the crowd flatters and the truth is unpopular, choose the narrow path and stand on the Word.

  • Naboth’s Vineyard & God’s Justice – 1 Kings 21 (August 16, 2025)

    Naboth’s Vineyard & God’s Justice – 1 Kings 21 (August 16, 2025)
    Aug 16 2025
    In 1 Kings 21, King Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard, and Jezebel's wicked scheme ends in murder. But the Lord sees, the Lord speaks, and the Lord will judge. This passage reminds us that while injustice may seem to prevail for a time, God's justice will not be delayed forever — and His mercy is still extended to the repentant. 📖 Scripture Reading: 1 Kings 21:1–29 🎙️ Speaker: Dave Jenkins 📅 Date: August 16, 2025 Key Themes: God Sees Injustice – No sin is hidden from Him. The Corruption of Power – Leadership is meant for God's glory, not selfish gain. True Repentance Matters – Humility invites mercy. Delayed Judgment Is Not Denied Judgment. Prophetic Boldness – Speaking truth to power in God's name. Visit for more devotionals and resources: 🌐 https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/

  • God’s Mercy and Ahab’s Failure – 1 Kings 20 (August 15)

    God’s Mercy and Ahab’s Failure – 1 Kings 20 (August 15)
    Aug 15 2025
    In 1 Kings 20, we encounter an unexpected turn: King Ahab, though wicked, is shown undeserved mercy by the Lord. Twice, God delivers Israel from Syria's king, Ben-hadad. But Ahab responds with political compromise instead of obedience, revealing the danger of receiving God's grace without repentance. This chapter reminds us that God's sovereign purposes are not limited by the righteousness of leaders—but His mercy always demands a response of faith and obedience. 📖 Key Verse: 1 Kings 20:13b – "Thus says the Lord, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will give it into your hand this day, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'"

  • 1 Kings 19 – Elijah Flees and Hears from God (August 14, 2025)

    1 Kings 19 – Elijah Flees and Hears from God (August 14, 2025)
    Aug 14 2025
    Yesterday in 1 Kings 18, we saw fire fall from heaven as the Lord vindicated His name on Mount Carmel. Today in 1 Kings 19, the mountaintop moment gives way to the valley of despair. Elijah, the bold prophet who stood alone against hundreds, now flees in fear. This chapter reminds us that even the strongest servants of God can grow weary—yet He meets us not always in fire or earthquake, but in a still small voice.

  • Elijah on Mount Carmel: God Answers by Fire | 1 Kings 18 | August 13, 2025

    Elijah on Mount Carmel: God Answers by Fire | 1 Kings 18 | August 13, 2025
    Aug 13 2025
    In 1 Kings 18, Elijah stands alone on Mount Carmel to confront King Ahab and the false prophets of Baal. The contest is simple: the God who answers by fire is the true and living God. Through this dramatic event, the Lord calls His people to stop wavering, turn from idols, and worship Him alone. This passage reminds us that true revival begins with repentance, prayer, and wholehearted devotion to God. 📖 Scripture: 1 Kings 18:1–46 📅 Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2025 🎙️ Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave 💡 Key Takeaways: • God alone is God—Baal is silent. • True worship must be restored before revival. • Faith requires a choice—no middle ground. • Elijah's prayer shows the power of intercession. 🌐 Related Resources: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/

  • Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath – 1 Kings 17 (August 12, 2025)

    Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath – 1 Kings 17 (August 12, 2025)
    Aug 12 2025
    In 1 Kings 17, Elijah suddenly appears during a national spiritual crisis to deliver a sharp prophetic word to King Ahab. Through a drought, miraculous provision, and even the raising of the widow's son, God shows that He alone is the living and faithful Lord. This passage points us to Christ, the ultimate Prophet and Life-Giver, who provides for His people and raises the dead.________________________________________ 📅 For More Devotionals: 🌐 https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/ 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast: • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/id123456789 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/yourpodcastlink 📺 Watch more on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ServantsofGrace ________________________________________

  • 1 Kings 16 – A Legacy of Rebellion in Israel (Aug 11, 2025)

    1 Kings 16 – A Legacy of Rebellion in Israel (Aug 11, 2025)
    Aug 11 2025
    In 1 Kings 16, Israel's northern kingdom spirals deeper into rebellion. A rapid succession of kings—Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Omri—each lead the nation further from God, culminating in the reign of Ahab, the most wicked king yet. Through it all, God's Word stands firm, His judgment is just, and His purposes are unshaken. Join Dave Jenkins as he reads and unpacks 1 Kings 16, exploring the dangers of ungodly leadership, the compounding effects of sin, and the hope we have in Christ, the righteous King.
