Rev. Adam Degroot, Calvary Lutheran Church, Rio Ranch, NM joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study I Kings 21.
Ahab wants a vegetable garden, it seems reasonable, but he is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. One sin leads to another sin. Coveting leads to lies which leads to murder which leads to stealing which leads to a denial of the LORD. By God’s grace, Ahab was led to repentance and realizing his need for the LORD. We pray for the same. Although sin leads us to even greater sin, God’s grace in Christ leads us to complete forgiveness and salvation. “Lord God, keep us from sin and pour Your love into our hearts by Your Holy Spirit to rest in Your grace and live holy lives. In Christ, Amen”
