A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Chronologically

1 Kings 3-10, 1 Chr 22-29, 2 Chr 1-9

After a rocky start, Solomon builds a grand and peaceful kingdom with a brand new Temple as its centerpiece. The Lord grants his wish for wisdom to rule the people and throws in massive riches and honor for good measure.

Solomon is so famous that eventually the Queen of Sheba decides she’s gotta see this for herself. Spoiler alert: She’s not disappointed.

We find out what the Israelites thought about hell and life after death (you might be shocked). And we had a very deep discussion about Wisdom -- Is Wisdom a person? Why isn't Wisdom talked about in church?

2 Sam 10-13, 1 Chr 18-20

Entitlement and privilege are a deadly combination.

I know...these folks in the Bible are over the top. They are so human! It hits painfully close to home. There are some trigger warnings this week: rape, murder, and infant death. But even in these depths, God shows up.

God does not throw us away. Ever.

2Sam 3-9, 1 Chr 11-17

King David and King Ish-Bosheth. Commander Joab and Commander Abner. The struggle that began between Saul and David is about to bear fruit.

David continues to have a heart for the Lord, but cracks are beginning to show. He makes some big mistakes this week.

In our breakout sessions we encounter the concept of hesed--an attribute of God that is so broad and deep that it defies description. We reflect on how that impacts our relationship with God in very practical ways.
