We begin our theme - Bad Girls, Rude Women - with an in-depth study of Jezebel and her horrible influence on her husband, King Ahab.
Why are men so attracted to bad girls? And women so attracted to bad boys? It's the confidence. Confidence is sexy.
But you don't have to be evil to be confident! You can be humble and confident.
The marriage of Ahab and Jezebel - 1 Kings 16:29-33 - He immediately changes for her and starts serving Baal. Jezebel is clearly running things - 1 Kings 18:1-19 Jezebel even scares the man of God - 1 Kings 19:1-18 - You can be doing right and still be intimidated. Ahab's actions condemn him to death - 1 Kings 20:13-18, 23, 28-43 Naboth's Vineyard - Jezebel is still running her husband - 1 Kings 21:1-29 Ahab's death - 1 Kings 22:1-40, 51-53 - his sons follow in his footsteps - this illustrates leaders whose fragile ego wants to be lied to Jezebel killed - 2 Kings 9:1-37
