King Me - Checkered Kings

~Walking In The Light~

Ever wondered how a game of Checkers can mirror the rise and fall of kings?
Join us on Walking in the Light as Elders Randall and Deborrah K. Ogans explore the lives of King Saul and Abimelech, drawing profound lessons on leadership, power, and the consequences of ignoring God's wisdom.
This episode draws a fascinating parallel between the game of Checkers and real-life leadership. Just as in Checkers, where the goal is to become a king and gain almost unlimited power on the board, leaders in real life often strive for power and authority. However, as the stories of Saul and Abimelech reveal, the pursuit of power without adherence to God's wisdom can lead to downfall and disaster.
Through an engaging discussion, we uncover the importance of patience, repentance, and submission to God's will, emphasizing that Christ is the true King and that ethical leadership is paramount in the church, and in our political arena.
In this episode titled "King Me - Checkered Kings," we recount the disobedience of King Saul, which led to his downfall, and the ruthless ambition of Gideon's son Abimelech to become King, after the death of Gideon, that ended in violence and his demise. Discover how Gideon's victory was a testament to God's intervention and learn the tragic tale of Abimelech's treachery.
We conclude by highlighting the sovereignty of God, and true kingship, urging listeners to seek Him first and live in accordance with His will.
Tune in for a compelling narrative that encourages a balanced life filled with wisdom and faith, reflecting on personal and spiritual growth. Join us in walking in the light and glorifying God each day.
