Solomon began with wisdom, honor, and a heart devoted to God. Yet 1 Kings 11 records his tragic spiritual decline as compromise slowly turned his heart toward idols.

In this episode of Truth From the Hive, Garland Van Dyke examines Solomon’s undoing and the warning it gives every Christian: knowing God’s will is not enough—we must continue to obey it. Learn how small compromises can weaken faith, why wholehearted devotion matters, and how to guard your heart until the end.

Scripture focus: 1 Kings 11:1–13; Matthew 22:37; James

A Seat at the King’s Table reminds us that God’s invitation is extended to the broken, forgotten, and undeserving. In 2 Samuel 9, King David showed extraordinary kindness to Mephibosheth by giving him a permanent place at the royal table. In Luke 14, Jesus described God’s great banquet and warned against allowing life’s excuses to keep us from accepting His invitation.

There is room at the King’s table—but the invitation must be accepted. Jesus calls us to believe in Him, repent of our sins, confess Him as Lord, and be baptized into Christ. Watch and share this message with someone who needs to know that God has not forgotten them.

Everyone makes plans—for work, retirement, vacations, and family—but have you made a plan for where you will spend eternity?

In this episode of Truth From the Hive, Garland Van Dyke examines what the Bible says about preparing for heaven. Good intentions, religious traditions, and sincerity alone cannot replace God’s revealed plan. We must hear the gospel, believe in Jesus, repent of sin, confess Christ, be baptized into Him, and remain faithful.

Eternity is too important to leave to chance. Listen with an open Bible and ask yourself the most important question of your life: What is my plan for heaven?

Truth From the Hive: Hell Is Real — But You Don’t Have to Go There

Hell is one of the most uncomfortable subjects in the Bible—but ignoring it does not make it less real. Jesus warned about judgment because He loves us and wants us to choose the way that leads to life.

In this episode of Truth From the Hive, Garland Van Dyke examines what Scripture teaches about hell, judgment, sin, and—most importantly—God’s plan to save us through Jesus Christ.

Hell is real, but God does not want you there (2 Peter 3:9). Through Christ, forgiveness and eternal life are available. The question is: Will you accept His invitation and obey the gospel?

Garland Van Dyke examines the equal spiritual value of men and women, God’s pattern for leadership and teaching, and the many important ways women serve Christ’s church. This episode considers 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 14, Titus 2, and examples of faithful women throughout Scripture—all from a church of Christ perspective.

If you have ever wondered what makes the church of Christ distinctive, this Bible-centered study offers clear and thoughtful answers.

“And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.” — Acts 2:47

Why Did God Change from the Old Testament to the New Testament?

Did God change His mind—or did His plan unfold exactly as He intended?
