The Book of 1 Kings: A Great People

This five-week sermon series on the book of 1 Kings is one of the best prisms to examine the topic of godly leadership.

Through the lives of kings like Solomon and Jeroboam and Ahab, we are invited to consider what it might look like to follow God’s expectations as leaders and what it might look like if we do not.

The Bible is filled with passages that point toward what God expects of us as leaders, which is great since at some point in each of our lives, we will lead others.

It may be that we are parents leading children, coaches leading athletes, a boss who leads employees, or a pastor leading a fellowship. Regardless of the position, 1 Kings offers a practical look at what it means to be a leader.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 5 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
