Jeroboam’s Bad Reputation

Page 9: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Value of ReputationProverbs 22:1 A good name is to be

chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.

Page 10: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Value of Reputation1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I urge you as

sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation

Page 11: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

Jeroboam’s Reputation1 Kings 14:16 And (God) will give Israel up

because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who made Israel sin.”

1 Kings 15:34 (Nadab) did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who made Israel sin.”

Page 14: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

What Did He Do?I Kings 12:26-33

To make worship easier…..He made an image of JehovahHe made popular places to worshipHe made unqualified priests

Page 15: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

What He Didn’t Do:He didn’t worship false godsHe didn’t turn away from Jehovah

Perhaps he even…..Believed in GodLoved GodWanted to worship God

Page 16: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking worship easy

Too many times a weekToo long of servicesToo far to drive

When people want easy worship…..….. they end up not worshipping

Page 17: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking worship easyMalachi 1:13 – “You also say, ‘Oh, what a

weariness!’……I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart.”

Page 18: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking images of God

Jesus is non-judgmentalGod won’t let anyone go to hellIt seems alright to me

When people make an “image” of God……..He tends to look like them

Page 19: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking images of GodNumbers 23:19 God is not a man, that

He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Page 20: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking popular places to worship

Great bandsCoffee shops Holy Entertainment

When men seek popular worship….…..it looks a lot like playing

Page 21: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking popular places to worshipExodus 32:6 Then they rose early on the next

day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. And the LORD said to Moses, “Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves!”

Page 22: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking unqualified priests

Pastors, priests and reverendsChristians and Sinners

When words lose their meaning…..….. we lose our meaning

Page 23: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

The Way of JeroboamMaking unqualified priestsHebrews 7:14 For it is evident that our

Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

Page 24: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

A Church’s ReputationRevelation 3:2-3 ”And to the angel of the

church in Sardis write, These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead””

Page 25: II John The Elect Lady & her children Isaiah 50:1 Jeremiah 22:6 Hosea 2:2.

Jeroboam’s SinHe was worshipping God his way

We can easily fall into the same trap

We must follow God His way!
