Wisdom & Humility

January 14, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we look at 1 Kings 3:3-14 in which God offers to give Solomon anything he asks for and Solomon asks for wisdom. Read the text and identify marks of Solomon's humility. Notice it was his humility that caused God to be so pleased with him (see James 4:10). What does it mean to be humble and why is humility essential to both wisdom and obedience?

Wisdom and the Cost of Foolishness

February 18, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we conclude our current study out of 1 Kings with a survey of the kings that followed King Solomon in 1 Kings 11-16. Take some time to read the text. Consider the things that are repeated about each king. What does this tell you about how a person's obedience or disobedience affects others?

Wisdom & Disobedience

February 11, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we look at the dramatic downfall of King Solomon in 1 Kings 11:1-13. Take some time to read the text along with Deuteronomy 7:3-4, 17:17, and 1 Kings 8:59-61. Identify Solomon's sins. How do you think he got here? What warnings should we heed from this?

Wisdom & Achievement Pt 2

February 4, 2024 • Pastor Seth Amerine

This week we continue our examination of First Kings chapters 4-9. We are continuing to consider the warning from last Sunday that accomplishment threatens wisdom. This week we're looking specifically at the prayer that King Solomon offers at the dedication of the temple in First Kings chapter 8. Read First Kings chapter 8 and consider the main subjects of his prayer and why those were important things to pray about in light of such a great accomplishment.
