1 Kings 11 | Idolatry: The Things We Do For Love

In this study through 1 Kings 11, Pastor Paul looks at the sad turn in Solomon's story, a king given wisdom, wealth, and peace by God who still let his heart wander. Solomon loved many foreign wives, and over time their influence pulled him toward worshiping other gods, even after God had spoken to him plainly and warned him twice. His story raises an honest question for anyone listening: what do we love most, and what are we willing to compromise to keep it? Money, approval, comfort, or relationships can all quietly become things we depend on more than God, even without us noticing. The good news is that God offers grace to see our hearts clearly and to turn back before those quiet loves take root and cost us everything that matters most.
