If we are ever going to interact with God, it is going to have to be on his terms. He ordained that Solomon build a temple – one that David his father had hoped to build. To dedicate it, the king organized a national worship service – possibly the most important in Israel’s history.
Solomon was relatively young when he took over the throne from his father David. He wasn’t sure he could handle the job. These chapters show us how he grew into his role.
Absalom led an uprising against his father David. We’ll take a look at the outcome of that battle and relate David’s response to the atonement of Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, there was a technical issue. No audio available.
The greatest battles in our spiritual life may not come in the form of great deeds of heroism. David, the giant killer, who was unbeatable when the fighting was fierce, proved as vulnerable as anyone else when he thought he was perfectly safe.
