In great pride, the newly self-appointed King of the northern tribe of Israel decided to rebel against God’s strict laws regarding worship, sacrifice and feasts. In effect, he created his own religion, from his own heart. It was driven by fear and pride to protect his power. You’ll discover today with Pastor Terry how greatly displeased God was at this religion that had nothing to do with Him. It was idolatrous and pure blasphemy! It plunged this new kingdom into dysfunction. Every king thereafter was evil and led the people into judgement.
