Day 100: SPLENDOR, Dedication, and Covenant in 1 Kings 7-9 | Bible In A Year (CSB)


Listen Later

On Day 100 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we explore 1 Kings 7-9. Solomon completes the temple and his palace, showcasing Israel’s glory. The temple’s dedication, filled with prayer and sacrifice, marks a high point of worship, but God’s covenant warning to Solomon underscores the fragility of blessing without obedience.Questions:1. The temple’s grandeur in chapter 7 reflects God’s worthiness—how does its splendor deepen our theological grasp of worship as a response to divine majesty, and how might it point to Christ as the ultimate dwelling place of God?2. Solomon’s prayer in chapter 8 intercedes for Israel and even foreigners—how does this inclusive vision challenge us to consider the theological scope of God’s redemptive purpose, extending beyond Israel to all nations?3. God’s conditional promise in chapter 9 ties blessing to obedience—how does this covenant framework invite us to reflect on the theological tension between God’s steadfast love and the human responsibility to remain faithful?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
