The Conflicted King: Lessons from Rehoboam

In this message from the “King Me!” series, we explore the life of King Rehoboam and what his struggles teach us about entitlement, counsel, and following God. Rehoboam felt entitled to his kingdom and rejected the wise counsel of older leaders in favor of peers who told him what he wanted to hear. His life reveals important truths: we are not entitled to salvation—it’s a gift received through Jesus Christ alone. We must seek godly counsel from those with wisdom and experience, not just from our peers. And we must prepare our hearts to seek the Lord daily, humble ourselves before Him, and obey His Word. Whether you’re wrestling with pride, struggling to listen to wisdom, or uncertain about your standing with God, this sermon offers biblical guidance for a life centered on Christ.
