1 Kings - Chapter-21

Chapter Summary

Ahab covets Nafooth's vineyard. Elijah announces Ahab's doom.

Why was the vineyard of value to Naboth? Why is our spiritual inheritance so valuable? What things does the 'world' (offer in exchange for our spiritual inheritance?
What does Jezebel's scheme remind you of? What are the comparison between the false charges against Naboth and the false charges brought against Jesus?
Have you ever been tempted to take something from another person? What was at the root of your desire? How have you resisted this temptation?
How does God deal with Ahab? How does God's punishment display his justice?
Was Ahab the only one impacted by his sin? How does your sin impact others? Family? Friends? Strangers?
Who else did God judge for the death of Naboth? Why is Ahab punished for the sins of Jezebel? How have you been punished by the sins of someone else?
How far beyond Ahab did God's punishment go? Have others been punished by God for your sins? Explain the impact your sin had on other people?
How did Ahab's sin in the sight of God? What idols in your life are evil in the sight of God? What do you consider to be an idol?
How does Ahab respond to the word of God? How can you learn from Ahab's response?
How does God act in response to Ahab's humility? Why does God pass his judgment on to the next generation? How have you been impacted by the sins of a previous generation?
