    Solomon’s downfall occurred when he was older because he gave into the temptation of the elderly: focusing upon himself rather than the Kingdom’s future generations.

People are better off when they care about other people: Mamie Adams [an elderly widow] always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly.

    The message examines God’s judgment on Solomon.

    During the forty years Solomon reigned over the nation of Israel we see Solomon sowing a lot of seeds of self-indulgence in hopes of reaping a harvest to satisfy those longings in his life. To his dismay the harvest only brought with it more emptiness and that which he longed for continued to be ...read more

    The message chronicles Solomon’s heart slowly turning away from the Lord.

    As we saw in last week’s message compromise is the first sign that character erosion is taking place. Solomon’s story is quite tragic as it shows the dangers of compromise and disobedience. When you take one step in the wrong direction—a direction that you know is unwise—it can lead to ungodly ...read more

    A sinful high place is any area, thought, person, or relationship that I allow to remain in my life as a provision for the flesh, to satisfy the sinful desires of my heart.

    Destroying the High Places (This message has been heavily adapted from a excellent sermon by Don Currin on High Places) We are in a study on the Kings of Israel, and today we are going to talk about one key area in their lives by which God assessed the overall quality of their lives.

    God granted King Solomon a hear of wisdom as he desired but in his later years Solomon let his heart wander away from God and had to face the consequences for the same. Here are some precious lessons we can learn on how we can guard our hearts and keep it focused on God.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. (GNB) As we complete this series we will look at one more important principle that we need to follow in order to retain ...read more

    In this message we will learn how to finish strong by looking at the failure of King Solomon to do so.

    Refuse To Fade Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just ...read more

    At one time or other all of us have been removed from our usual roles in life and have found ourselves in strange situations. When this happened we did not know quite what to do with ourselves.

    All of us have a particular group of people that we are comfortable with. While we know some people are quite versatile and can adapt themselves to any group they associate with, others have a hard time adapting.

    Be watchful. Guard your faith. Guard your marriage. Guard yourself.

    The theme of this passage is rather clear because of one word repeated a few times - faithless (ESV), broken faith (NIV), treachery (KJV), being unfaithful. • The people has been unfaithful to God and to one another. They had betrayed God and broken the trust with Him. • Their disregard for God ...read more

    3 Simple Rules For Making A Marriage Work Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
     | 2,328 views

    In the next few moments, I want to help you celebrate marriage, whether married, divorced, or single. God gave us marriage for our happiness. God gave us marriage to be a blessing in our lives. Your marriage can serve as a catalyst for your relationship with God.

    When I say the word “marriage,” what do you think? Are you a little jaundice about the idea of marriage? I spoke to a lady recently who said when I got married I was looking for the ideal, instead, the marriage became an ordeal, so now I want a new deal. One day, a man went to the Super Bowl, ...read more

    I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more
