A Kingdom of Peace

Welcome to our continued verse-by-verse exposition of 1st Kings. In this session, we move into a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity in Israel’s history. These chapters are far more than a list of ancient bureaucracies and building dimensions—they are a testimony to the faithfulness of a God who keeps His covenant promises even when we do not hold up our end.

What We Cover:

The Establishment of the Kingdom: We will unpack Solomon's choices of officials and how he used his power and wisdom.

Honoring God in the Quiet Places: How Solomon even honored God in the unseen places of the temple and how the quarry is where God does some of the most impactful forming.

The Symbolism within the Temple: We will look at how all of the decor of the temple points back to the Garden of Eden when God and man dwelt together.
