Lesson Theme: Who is beyond hope?
Who here feels we are a fairly advanced, modern society? Would you at least say that we HAVE made SOME progress as a society, overall, over the past 1,000 years?
For example, without using the internet:
-
Do you know where SILK comes from?
- Do you know where cotton comes from?
-
Do you know where we get dairy MILK?
-
You know where MEAT comes from?
-
You know what Social Media/Facebook is?
-
You understand what decorating is?
So let me get this straight… By your own admission, you acknowledge that we adorn ourselves with worm excrement and plant fibers, guzzle cow mucus, mine animal carcasses for food, chatter and clatter in steady, documented streams, while surrounding ourselves with bits and bobs we’ve found scurrying about the nooks and crannys of our environment.
… Now, who here feels we are fairly advanced and modern society, making strides of progress overall?
If it is true that you can learn something from anyone, let’s see if King Ahab has anything to teach.
Note: No PowerPoint lesson today. Let’s just use our Bibles and make some notes in the margins.
“And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou has sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.”
— 1 Kings 21:20
