Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | 1 Kings 8 documents the apex moment of King Solomon's life and legacy: the completion of the Temple of God in Jerusalem. 1 Kings 8 documents the day the Temple is finally completed and ready, like a big ribbon-cutting moment, featuring its initiation, dedication, benediction, and celebration. Even though the Temple is long gone, it represents an important truth - how God relates to us and how we relate to God - which is still in tact today through Jesus Christ.
