When we think of the biblical character King Solomon we think of his wisdom, the books of Proverbs or Ecclesiastes or Song of Solomon, even the visit from the Queen of Sheba. The next two Sundays we will consider Solomon’s prayers. Each prayer gives insight on the nature of God. The history in Samuel and Kings show the development of the understanding of God as present only in the Ark of the Covenant, to the God that cannot be contained and the earth is God’s footstool.
This week is our church annual picnic. Our worship time will be considering Solomon’s prayer in 1 Kings 3 and using it as the base for a mini-prayer retreat. Join us for this time of getting away for a time of personal prayer and fellowship.
The next Sunday, August 25, will conclude the series, “Triumph and Tragedy: The Three Kings of Israel.” 1 Kings 8 and the question “Where does God live?’ will be the sermon.
See you at the barn on Sunday!
