Today, Pastor Mark taught from I Kings 20.
The focus of the historical narrative shifts to King Ahab and a threat from the King of Syria, Ben-Hadad. The enemy was formidable and confident, but God gave the armies into the hand of Israel not just once, but twice. The Lord had devoted Ben-Hadad to destruction, but Ahab made a covenant with the king instead and was judged for it. While the likelihood of us experiencing events like this one are slim, it is a great reminder that God is greater than even the greatest enemies that threaten the soul. How we respond in the wake of the victory God gives and the enemies that threaten matters.
