8-18-2014 Trusting the Wrong God (2 Kings 1)


Days Of Elijah
Trusting the Wrong God – 2 Kings 1



1          Ahaziah becomes king following the death of Ahab, and you’d think that would make his life pretty awesome.  You’re rich, you’re in charge, and our human way of thinking would believe that these circumstances really eliminate most of the problems of life.  What happens to him – does this challenge our normal way of thinking?



2.        Why does Ahaziah want his men to go to Baal-Zebub instead of God?  The motivation for idolatry is not uncommon.  What kind of stuff do we go to (instead of God) to find what we want?



3.        Did you notice that God answers anyway?  What does God say to explain why Ahaziah is going to die?  Is God a vengeful God?



4          Elijah dressed weird… hipster?



5          Why did the 102 men need to die? 




6.        What is different about the third captain with 50 men?
