From the Pulpit...

1 Kings recounts the history of Israel from the death of David through Solomon’s reign (971-931 B.C.) until Jehoshaphat in the southern kingdom (reign 873-848 B.C.) and Ahaziah in the north (853-852 B.C.), covering a time span of roughly 120 years. The main topics in 1 Kings are the rise and reign of Solomon, the building of the temple and its dedication, Solomon’s departure from the Lord, the division of the kingdom into north and south because of Solomon’s disobedience and Rehoboam’s foolishness causing the northern tribes’ secession (1 Kings 11:35-36; 12:16-17), and the early kings of both kingdoms.

The Internet service at the church was down this evening, so there is no Youtube livestream of this service.
