THIS SUNDAY IN BIBLE SCHOOL

God Punishes Jeroboam

Passage: 1 Kings 12:1–33; 14:1–18
Principle: Christians enjoy the blessings of obedience to God's Word.

Ask your child this question:

What were the consequences of Jeroboam’s disobedience and sin?

Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

By rejoicing that God blesses those who humbly obey His Word.
By realizing that God punishes those who disobey His Word.

Next Week: 1 Kings 17:1; 18:17–46
