  2. KNOWING vs. DOING • 1Kings 22 • Setting • Time: Divided Kingdom • Characters: Ahab, Jehoshaphat • Situation: Uniting against Syria

  3. KNOWING vs. DOING • Ahab KNOWS God’s Will • 1Kings 22:1-28 • What Ahab DOES • 1Kings 22:29-40

  4. KNOWING vs. DOING • Apparent Lessons • The majority MAY be wrong • Peer Pressure is real • Authority does not = right • Doing right sometimes brings loneliness • We will suffer for doing right • Speak the truth at all costs • Never compromise truth

  5. KNOWING vs. DOING • Evil people may take advantage of you • Your reputation speaks volumes (1Kgs 22:8) • Even if you’re the only one, stand for right

  6. KNOWING vs. DOING • WHY did Ahab DO what he did when he KNEW what he knew? • Possible reasons: • Followed the majority • Wanted recognition • “What is right, what is truth” • 1Jn 4:1,6

  7. KNOWING vs. DOING • Ahab did what he did….BECAUSE HE WANTED TO! • Even though he KNEW God’s will, it did not matter • It was his way or the highway • Evidence would not have convinced him

  8. KNOWING vs. DOING • In the Church & the World, KNOWING does • The Lost in the world • God has given all the opportunity to KNOW how to be saved • Titus 2:11 “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men” • That KNOWLEDGE must be ACTED on • Jn 3:16 Belief, 2Pet 3:9 Repentance, Rom 10:10 Confession of Faith, Acts 2:38 Baptism, Col 2:6-7 Walk in Truth

  9. KNOWING vs. DOING • Christians • Warnings given of spiritual dangers • 2Pet 2:1-3 False teachers • 2Pet 3:14-18 How to remain faithful • 2Cor 10:3-6 Combat tactics given • KNOWING did not = DOING • Many strayed 1Tim 6:20-21

  10. CONCLUSION • Ahab’s exercise in Futility • Ahab KNEW / We can and may KNOW God’s will • Ahab did not DO / We may not DO God’s will • Ahab could not hide / We will not hide • Rev 20:12-15 • John 7:17 “If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine”

  11. In your life, let it… not be KNOWING vs. DOING but rather KNOWING &DOING
