Solomon builds the temple to the Lord and the Lord blesses it with His presence. Solomon prays over Israel, but their praises will soon be replaced with rebellion.

While Solomon’s request for wisdom was good, it wasn’t the best he could have asked for. His father David shows us something better.

King Solomon begins his reign by asking the Lord for "practical" wisdom to rule Israel.

Solomon extends grace to four rebels, yet only one remains in a place of grace. We must ask: What difference has God’s grace made in my life? Have I responded in true repentance?

David is dying and needs to pass on the kingdom, but who will inherit it? The one it was promised to or the one who will take it by any means.

Paul calls us to identify heretics. How to stand for truth in a culture where anything goes.

Paul encourages the church to unite as one body of believers and not to allow scruples to divide their love for one another.

The limits of our liberty in Christ.

Paul encourages the church in Rome to be submissive and not defiant toward government. As U.S. citizens we take this principle and apply it to our stewardship as citizens who are the government.

Paul instructs Christians to respect and honor government and its authority that God has given to them. Not to do this is a sin.
