Idolatry and its Consequences

Pastor Jim Entwistle

Pastor Jim explores Solomon’s downfall in 1 Kings 11, where his idolatry leads to God’s judgment and the division of the kingdom. Despite Solomon’s wisdom and success, his disobedience brings adversaries and consequences, yet God remains in control. Jim highlights the dangers of idolatry, the necessity of judgment for restoration, and Jesus as the one who bears the consequences of sin to bring true peace. He calls listeners to confess, trust in God’s providence, and remain committed to Jesus.
