1 Kings 10: Great wealth brings great responsibility. Lord have mercy.

Rev. David Boisclair of Faith and Bethesda Lutheran Church in Pine Lawn, MO joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 1 Kings 10. The LORD had greatly blessed Solomon with wisdom, wealth, and faithful servants.  The word had gotten out around the nations, even over 1,000 miles away.  The nations held Solomon in high regard and it seemed as if he and the Israelites were unstoppable.  As we know that “the love of money is the root of all evil”, we can almost predict that a fall was inevitable.  We ask the LORD to help us to use His gifts to His glory. “Lord Jesus Christ, as You have been the greatest giver, help us to use our gifts---large or small---to give glory to You and in service to others as You serve us.  In Your name, Amen”
