Jan 14, 2026  •  Brad Hainje

Join us as we dive into the opening chapter of 1st Kings. This study covers the dramatic transition of power in Israel's monarchy. As King David’s health declines, a power struggle emerges between Adonijah and Solomon.


📍 What We Cover:

The Danger of Presumption: We will look at Adonijah’s attempt to crown himself king and the spiritual dangers of "getting ahead of God."


The Courage of Nathan and Bathsheba: How God uses faithful individuals to speak truth to power and how to properly bring awareness of an issue.


The Establishment of the Kingdom: We will see the transition from the "Man of War" (David) to the "Man of Peace" (Solomon) as Solomon is anointed King of Israel.
