In our 1 Kings reading we find Solomon's wonderful beginning as he loved Yahweh his God and offers a thousand cattle at Gibeon as a mark of thanksgiving to Almighty God, Solomon's Sovereign. King Solomon also married Pharaoh's daughter, who he loved deeply as the Song of Solomon shows. It was at Gibeon that the Almighty appeared to Solomon and him to ask from God whatever he desired. Solomon requests wisdom to rule the people of the LORD according to divine ways, indeed a wise choice indicating that Solomon already possessed, to a large extent, wisdom. In the understanding of human behaviour Solomon demonstrates that he was able to discern who was the true mother of the living child. His wisdom became legendary.In Jeremiah 30 we undoubtedly have a prophecy of the unprecedented horrendous time that was to come upon Israel soon - called "the day of Jacob's trouble". This term is an obvious allusion to Genesis 32. This is the time called, in Daniel 12, "a time of trouble such as never was". And Matthew 24 refers to it as "the time of great tribulation". The Jewish People call a time such as this 'The Dire Straits". It will be when the Russian confederacy under Gogue seeks the total destruction of Israel. However, they will be delivered . Read aloud and reflect on verses 8-11. The end result will be blessing in Messiah's Kingdom, verses 18-22. This time will be after the Almighty's wrath has been poured on the persecutors of His people.Mark 4 commences with the most fundamental of all parables - the Sower. We have seen, that it could be called the parable of the Soils. For God's Word tests the calibre of the soil. What type of soil will our Heavenly Father find us to be? Pray God that we may be found to be good soil! Then follows an explanation of why our Lord uses the parabolic method. It was to reveal truths to the responsive and conceal them from the reprobates (Psalm 78 and Isaiah 6). Next follows the parable of the Lampstand, its only purpose, like that of disciples, is to give light, ie testimony. The progress of the Gospel is like seed multiplying. In the parable of the Mustard Seed we learn that small beginnings can have powerful ends. Jesus calms the storm on the sea of Tiberius showing him to be the Son of God - read Psalm 104 verses 23-32. Pause and ponder the power of the message.

We all want to do the will of God, don't we? The Bible is full of examples of those who claim to do the will of God, but who fail to grasp what the will of God really is!  Some deceive themselves into thinking that what they say and do  is in harmony with the ways of God – and is therefore his will.The principle we need to follow is plain – to read God's word regularly and do so with a totally honest God-fearing heart, so that we do not twist its' meaning to suit our own desires.What we read today in Mark ch. 3 shows that many of the Jews, especially the religious leaders were obsessed with  keeping the Sabbath in a ritualistic way.- creating for themselves the spirit of self-righteousness to such an extent it blinded their minds to what Jesus was saying and doing.Because Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath Day “the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.” [v.6]  They later made wild allegations against him saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul … the prince of demons” [v.22]It is highly interesting that there is no mention of demons, or even the word ‘devil' in the Old Testament.  Baalzebub gets a mention (2 Kings 1 v.3) as the idol-God in Ekron!    Human imagination about the evil-spirit world had only come as a result of the influence of Greek philosophy when they conquered the ancient world before Christ.We notice how Jesus, in a sense ‘makes fun' or ridicules their ways of thinking ‘How can Satan cast out Satan?” [v.23]  His family members come to see what is going on, obviously there were rumours circulating about him: they are “standing outside, they sent to him and called him.” [v.31]  He is told they “are outside seeking you”.His response is very significant, “looking about at those who sat around him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God, he (or she) is my brother and sister and mother.”The religious leaders had a corrupted perception of the will of God: we, who have God's word so readily available have no excuse for failing to read it carefully so that we know the ways and principles upon which God acts and so do “the will of God” and as a result are truly Christ's “brother and sister and mother”

#christianity #protestant #reformationThere is a solitary, humble, wooden structure on a windswept hill in rural New England. To open the door is to engage our minds, our hearts, and our imaginations. In this place, preachers and professors, past and present, come alive as they walk the aisle, ascend the pulpit stairs, and teach…from theology, from history, and from the Word of God. Welcome to the Saybrook Meetinghouse, an audio production of Saybrook Ministries. Saybrook Ministries' vision is to inspire and invigorate Christians with imaginative and intellectual content.Saybrook Ministries' mission is to provide didactic and devotional content from the Christian faith delivered to the saints; recovered and refined by the Protestant Reformation.Saybrook Ministries' prayer is that our content will be (1) to Christians convinced of Reformation truths: encouraging & powerful; (2) to Christians unconvinced of Reformation truths: educational & persuasive; (3) to non-Christians: engaging & prophetic.Saybrook Ministries' four foundational scriptures are: The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times (Psalm 12:6). The people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. And the wise among the people shall make many understand (Daniel 11:32b-33a). And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD have not forsaken those who seek you (Psalm 9:10). Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth (Hosea 6:3).

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus to be irresistible and fascinating and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in 1 Kings 3 "Wisdom and Humility"

Message by Justin Ray.

Join us for our Family Worship service, where Tyler Brezinski will teach a message from the life of Solomon entitled "A Heart That Asks!"

If we're honest… most of us don't like being helped. Pride often gets in the way of receiving the help we desperately need. But in this message, we're reminded of two powerful truths: 1. We need God's help. 2.God loves to help those who love Him. 

Solomon's marriage alliance with Egypt and his allowance of a multitude of high places for worship reveal cracks in the foundation of Solomon's kingdom. However, Solomon's love of the LORD is real, and even more importantly, the LORD's grace to Solomon is real. While Solomon worships at Gibeon, the LORD promises to give Solomon the answer to his prayer. Solomon prays for wisdom, and the LORD promises not only wisdom, but also riches, honor, and long life. The reality that the LORD answered this prayer is revealed quickly in a difficult case in which Solomon's wisdom is displayed in his goodness and preservation of life.  Rev. Harrison Goodman, Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Kings 3:1-28.  "A Kingdom Divided” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Kings. The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

The rulers and authorities sent spies that they might seize Jesus with their words. The question was "should we pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Paralleling this scene and King Solomon's wisdom, we cover the gift of discernment and the gift of word of wisdom.  Matthew 22:15-22Mark 12:13-17Luke 20:20-26Luke 12:12-12:131 King 3www.messagetokings.com

What did God offer Solomon? What did Solomon choose?

Solomon's reign gives us a glimpse of life under a king who listens to God—justice, prosperity, peace, and God's glory. But even in his wisdom, he isn't the king we truly need. This famous story points us to Jesus, the perfect King who brings God's kingdom in full. Join us as we explore what this means for our lives today.

After Solomon becomes king, his entire approach to worship transforms. He moves from treating God as just one option among many to recognizing Him as a personal, pursuing God. Join us as we explore how this timeless story points us toward Jesus, the true Son of David, and speaks to our own path from ritual to relationship.

Fr. Mike reads the story of Solomon's greatest action as king: building a temple for the Lord, showing us how important it is to give glory to the Lord for all he's done for us. He is learning from his father's mistakes, but this story will sadly conclude the greatest moments of his life. Today's readings are 1 Kings 3, 2 Chronicles 4-5, and Psalm 64.
