Naboth's Vineyard

Sometimes it feels like evil wins. The wicked seem to get their way, while the righteous are left to suffer in silence. That’s exactly what happens in 1 Kings 21. Ahab—the king of Israel—covets a vineyard, twists the truth, and, with Jezebel’s wicked schemes, has an innocent man killed to get what he wants. It’s a story of greed, injustice, and spiritual compromise.

But it’s also a story about a God who still speaks, still sees, and still judges righteously. In this message, we’ll uncover how Ahab’s sin reveals the danger of a heart hardened against God, how Naboth’s faithfulness shines as a model for God’s people, and how God’s justice may be delayed, but it is never denied.

This isn’t just ancient history—it’s a sobering reminder that when the world seems upside down, heaven is not silent. The righteous may suffer now, but God will have the last word.
