Israel revolts against his powerplay, and the kingdom is divided.\nIn contrast to Rehoboam, we see how Jesus' rise to greatness was through contentment, servanthood, and obedience to His Father.\n\nREAD. \n\nKey Passage: 1 Kings 12:4-11\n\nDiscussion Questions: \n\nTruth: What was Rehoboam’s (unsuccessful) path in trying to become king? Describe Jesus' path to greatness in Philippians 2:6-9.            \n \nRepentance:  Where is God calling you to grow in influence and authority?   \n       \nFaith: What does that path practically look like?       \n        \nRESPOND. \n\nAsk God, how can today’s discussion further your relationship with God, one another, and the world? Pray together.
