Sermon (Treasure Matters: "Beginning New Chapters & Seasons" 1 Kings 2:1-4, 10-12): Passing on a legacy is complicated. For parents, it often means sharing the learnings from one's successes and failures. When King David draws close to his own death, he pauses to share some important words with his son Solomon. Like any parent, David wants his son to learn from his father, for good or ill.

Much of our culture is focused on getting and having enough. Worry about financial security continues to confront families in poverty and in wealth.
