First Kings 11 provides a sobering warning from Solomon’s life. He started so well and ended so miserably. It wasn’t a matter of head knowledge or theological clarity. He allowed many compromises along the way which led him to catastrophic failure. How did that happen? What happened in his heart and life? And why do so many start well but not finish well? We will look at 1 Kings 11 and be warned by the example of Solomon. We will also look to the Greater Solomon, the Greater Son of David, the Lord Jesus Christ and see how we can take specific and clear actions to live well, to serve well, and to finish well — all to the glory of Jesus Christ!
