Reading the Bible in 2025: 1 Kings (take 2)
This story is a bit like the red pill in the movie the Matrix. Reading it challenges our conceptions of free will and how God works in our world.
Get ready for some fun!
As we continue reading through #TheBibleInAYear, we turn to 1 Kings and the less well known prophet Micaiah (1 Kings 22). The guy, as it turns out, has the tough job of telling the king what the king doesn’t want to hear. Or maybe. It gets complicated. A challenging look at how God may or may not control the rise and fall of empires…and what the church can and should do about bad leaders.
Note: Over the weekend of 3/15-3/16, there was a problem with the audio file. Hence the new version. Sorry – RJM
