From the Pulpit...
Jerusalem and the Temple - Matt Postiff
Much of our own lives are spent in the mundane. We have to make various decisions about where to live and how to organize our lives and ministries, what time we need to set aside to accomplish various tasks, etc. But these can, and should, be done with an eye toward hwo they honor God and serve others. Let everything be done to honor the Lord. When a great milestone is reached, celebration is in order. And then, as at the end of chapter 12, we resume the normal service to God. Until He comes!
Our Scripture reading was found in 1 Kings 3:1-28.
