Episode 11: 1 Kings 10

LifeLine Church Weekly Talks

This chapter is a tale of two halves. All appears to be going well, on the surface… v1-13 tells us about Solomon’s wisdom, fame and fortune, but v14-29 reveals how Solomon had lost sight of God and was violating his law.

What is God saying to us through this?

We can consider for ourselves the contrast in Solomon as one with great gifting but poor character. Do we operate in the gifting that God has given us? How do we go about this? Do we fall into the same trap as Solomon, and use our gifting as a safety net to avoid fully relying on God? How do we partner with Him to both exercise and submit our gift, and develop character?

This podcast is part of a series on the books of Kings which is supported by periodic ‘reflections’, which consider questions which have been submitted by members of LifeLine Church.
