The Death of Ahab & God’s Sovereignty – 1 Kings 22 (August 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.
