Abijah’s Loyalty(2 Chronicles 13; 1 Kings 15.1-4)

Compiled and Presented by:

Synopsis: Abijah confronts Jerobaam’s rebellion against God, but fails to make sure his own life is right before God. He reminds us that we must be completely loyal to God, not just in doctrine or issues but also in our daily lives.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
