1 Kings 2:13-46: Sins Have Their Consequences.

Rev. Nathan Meador, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Plymouth, Wisconsin, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 1 Kings 2:13-46.

All Adonijah wanted to do was get married, right? Solomon’s reign in his kingdom had begun after David’s death. As requested by David before his passing, there were some that needed to be taken care of. There had been disobedience and sin on the part of Adonijah, Shimei, and Joab and when there is sin there must be blood. This points us to the depth of our own sin and gratefulness that it is the blood of Christ that saves and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. “O Holy Spirit, lead us to repentance and to receive Your free and full forgiveness. Help us to be humble and to serve you in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness. Lord have mercy. Amen”
