1 Kings 8:22-30 "Praying for the Church" (1/11/26)

In 1 Kings 8:22-30, King Solomon stands before the altar and the assembly of Israel to dedicate the newly built temple, praising God as unmatched in heaven and earth for faithfully keeping His covenant and promises to David. He acknowledges that even the highest heavens cannot contain God, yet he asks the Lord to hear prayers directed toward the temple, keep His eyes open upon it day and night, and forgive the sins of His people Israel when they pray from there.
