TGKIDS RECAP
TGKIDS
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! Below is the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson, so that you can talk with your kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: The Kingdom Is Divided
Scripture: 1 Kings 11-12
Bible Truth: A divided heart leads to a divided life.
Where is Jesus: 1 Kings 11:13
Even though God judged Solomon for worshiping false gods, there was hope in God’s punishment. God gave Solomon good news mixed with the bad news. The bad news was that God was taking the kingdom away from Solomon, but the good news was that he promised not to do it until Solomon’s son was king. And even then God promised not to take all of Israel away, but to allow Solomon’s son to be king over one tribe.
God did this for the sake of David and for the sake of Jerusalem. You see, God had promised David that he would have a son on the throne forever. So even though Solomon disobeyed God, he remained on the throne so God could keep his promise to David.
Jesus, one of Solomon’s far-off grandchildren, is the ultimate way God kept that promise. By saving the tribe of Judah (the tribe Jesus came from) and allowing Solomon to remain on the throne, God kept his promise to David and opened the way for the good news of the gospel to come to us all.
