What poses the greatest threat to potentially turning your heart away from God? For Solomon, it was the influence of 1000 pagan women-700 wives and 300 concubines. Though God had made it clear that marriage was to be exclusively between one man and one woman, Solomon had allowed his own lust and selfish desires to lead his heart away from God. He began worshiping the false gods of his pagan wives. It was a low point in Israel's history and a reminder to us that we must deal with the things that could lead to "heart failure" in our own lives before we would turn away from God.

All of us have a reputation. It might be good or bad, accurate or inaccurate, true or false... but all of us have a reputation. What is yours? How do people perceive you? For King Solomon, his reputation was so good and so far-reaching, that a queen from Sheba travelled more than 1000 miles to see if what she had heard was true. Indeed, she said that his success and wealth and relationship with the Lord had far exceeded what she had heard. Pastor Gary discusses the importance of a good reputation in today's study from 1 Kings 10.

In the Prayer of Dedication that Solomon offers for the new Temple, we learn two important things about (1) God's character, and (2) Man's condition. Throughout Solomon's prayer, he weaves the true story about a loving, forgiving God and fallen, sinful humanity. It teaches us the practical truths about how good God is and how lost man is without Him. Join Pastor Gary for today's study from 1 Kings 8.

Between 1 Kings 5-8, a most important event occurs in the history of the nation of Israel - the building of the First Temple. It will take 180,000 laborers 7 years to build the Temple of the Lord under the leadership of King Solomon. It was a magnificent structure of stone, wood, and gold. But God does not live in houses made by hands. He dwells in the hearts and lives of people and He tells us in His Word that WE are His Temple!
