With God: In History - Solomon [19]

With God: In History - Solomon [19]

Author: Christ Community, an Evangelical Free Church May 10, 2026 Duration: 34:34

I Kings 3:1-17 // Paul Brandes

This sermon covers the early reign of king Solomon and his humble encounter with God at Gibeon. Faced with the massive responsibility of leading a nation, Solomon recognizes his own limitations and asks for an understanding heart rather than wealth or long life. We look at the sincerity of his prayer and how his desire to discern between good and evil pleased the lord. This passage teaches us about the value of spiritual priorities and how God provides the tools necessary for the tasks he calls us to complete.
