This is the first sermon in Pastor Ryan’s series “The Flawed and the Faithful”, which looks at some of the imperfect but faithful people listed in chapter 11 of the book of Hebrews. God used them in spite of their flaws, and he can use us in spite of ours as well — if only we are faithful. Rehoboam, the son of Solomon that became king when Solomon died, was not.

Hebrews 11:1-2, 39-20, 12:1 (NLT) ; 希 伯 來 書 11:1-2, 39-40, 12:1 (CUVS)

The story of Rehoboam:

1 Kings 12:1-24, 14:21-31 (NLT) ; 列 王 紀 上 12:1-24, 14:21-31 (CUVS)
2 Chronicles 10-12 (NLT) ; 歷 代 志 下 10-12 (CUVS)

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
    His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
    his mercies begin afresh each morning.
