How many of you knew of these horns? the reasons for them?

God tells His people He will tear down the Altars of Bethel and the horns of the Altar. A grave judgment indeed.

His people had built an altar to an idol in Bethel the very place called House of God.

David calls Solomon and they have a final chat. Then David passes on.

David is dead Solomon is King.

If you are a Christian and you do not tell your brothers and sisters (neighbors) of this eternal life, then how much do you hate them? For a loving Christ died for them, but we can not tell them of Him for fear we might offend? or get cut out of their life?

This is the biggest decision of their lives, but how can they make it if we do not give them the information they need?

Solomon is anointed, and announced. Adonijah was celebrating his rise to the throne, in the midst of that party a messenger comes in and says no Solomon is king.

Adonijah is afraid, and rightfully so.

Adonijah thought he was going to be king. He even threw a party for it, but that was not the way Bathsheba, Nathan, Zadok, and Benaiah saw it. A fascinating look behind the throne.

John wrote that our Joy may be full, now he writes that we might not sin. Why? Because of the enormity of the price paid for us, of the love that drew Salvation's plan, of the sheer violence committed that we might have life.

David counts the people, angering the Lord. Yet it is the very end when David builds an altar, that you truly see his heart for God.

No He Does not. If you take yourself off the God Standard and live by human standards, you will not get to Heaven. His Gift, His Sacrifice, not through ought that you have done.

Absalom is slain, the kingdom is reunited, until it isn't, Sheba rebels, and here we go again

What fellowship can Death have with Life? None. Therefore we must walk in The Way, The Truth, and The Life so that we may Fellowship with the Father.
