In this passage of God’s Word, we see the evil King Ahab and his evil wife committing murder in order to own a property. After this, the Lord calls Elijah to confront the king about his wrongdoing. By taking a look at this passage of God’s Word, we can learn how we are to deal with sin.
1. Keep your selfish desires in check
1 Kings 21:1-4, Rom. 8:7-8, Phil. 2:3-4, James 3:16, 4:1-2, Rom. 2:8, Gal. 5:26
2. You are always responsible for your own actions
1 Kings 21:15-16, Rom. 14:12, Gal. 6:7-8 Matt. 12:36, James 5:16
3. There are earthly consequences to our sin
1 Kings 21:27-29, Rom. 6:23, Is. 59:2, Gal. 6:7-8
4. Sin can only be forgiven because of Christ
John 14:6, Rom. 6:23, 1 John 1:9, Acts 4:12

Reflection Questions
1. Have you ever heard this passage of Scripture or topic taught on before? What stood out to you?
2. Read 1 Kings 21: 1-4. King Ahab let his own selfish desires negatively affect his attitude and actions. What desires in your life negatively affect your attitude and actions? How so?
3. Read 1 Kings 21:8-14. Queen Jezebel implemented an evil plan to get her husband what he wanted. And then, in 1 Kings 21:15-16 Ahab goes along with her plan, like there was nothing wrong with it. As we discussed in the message, it’s not ok to go along with evil. How have you gotten caught up and influenced into acting sinfully before? What happened? How can you guard yourself from that in the future?
4. Read 1 Kings 21:27-29. Even though King Ahab humbles himself before the Lord, there are still consequences to his actions. Have you ever had to deal with the earthly consequences of sin? What was it, and do you still deal with it today?
5. As we discussed in the message, because of what Jesus did on the cross our sins can now be forgiven by repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Are there any sins in your life that you need to repent of?
6. Elijah confronts King Ahab about his sin. King Ahab’s response is to humble himself before God. How do you feel like studying and applying this passage of Scripture to your life can help you to help others that are struggling with sin?
7. What is your biggest take away about how this passage affects your life? What do you need to work on? Who can you share this with and ask you to keep you accountable to accomplishing this?
