FAMILY THEME: THE CONSEQUENCES OF DISOBEDIENCE

2 Kings 25:1-21

Sin seems to promise so much! We can have pleasure, position, 

prosperity, and power without God. But sin will always eventually

leave you and those you love empty-hearted and empty-handed.

1.  Disobedience Eventually Results in Consequences

     (2 KIngs 25:1-5)

     Zedekiah thought he could resist and run from God's judment.

     He was wrong!

 
2.  Disobedience Results in Personal Pain

     (2 Kings 25:6-7 , 18-21)

     Zedekiah witnessed the death of his sons and heard of the

     destruction of Jerusalem. He would later hear of the execution

     of his court of servants. All of these people who were encouragers

     and helpers to him were gone.

     

3.  Disobedience Results in Bondage and Destruction.

     (2 Kings 25:8-17)

     Zedekiah could not have estimated the cost of disobedience

     to himself and his people. We never have a good sense of 

     how much sin costs us.
