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?

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 & 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.
