Mission Check – King Solomon (1 Kings 9:1-9) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we gather to dedicate our new space, we look back to the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem and how well King Solomon maintained the mission. Our comfort is not in our own success, but in that of Solomon's descendant whose mission was to sacrifice himself for us. We give all glory to God for all his blessings. All rights reserved.

Power Check – King Jehu (2 Kings 10:16-33) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"You shall have no other gods." That's the First Commandment. The Bible emphatically denies the existence of any god but the Lord, so the commandment is about our hearts and what we treat as God. Like King Jehu (2 Kings 10), we show some signs of commitment, but they coexist with moments of idolatry. Only the true God can save us from our ambivalence.
Power Check – King Ahab (1 Kings 21:1-29) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The account of Old Testament King Ahab, his wife Jezebel, and a vineyard owner named Naboth is an account of greed, ego, and selfishness. It shows the utter sinfulness of mankind and how "me-centric" all of us can be. That's why it's not all about us. That's also why it always has been and always will be all about Jesus—our Savior and our Lord. To his name be worship and praise.
Power Check – King Jeroboam (1 Kings 12:25-33) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Few would sharply disagree with this well-known proverb, but what do we do about it? We learn from King Jeroboam (1 Kings 12), from ourselves, and from our Savior.
Influence Check – King Rehoboam (1 Kings 12:1-15) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two simple questions. What influences you? What should influence you? Rehoboam did not give those questions much thought. Today we can learn from his negative example in 1 Kings 12.
