Stewarding God's Gifts (3 of 5)
Solomon

1 Kings 4:20-38, 10:1-23
ILLUS. - Some gifts come with big responsibility right? - As a kid I remember getting my first bb gun ... no it was not a Red Ryder it was a Daisy. But it came w/ a responsibility ... which I failed at by the way. - Maybe it was a car, or an inheritance ... but some gifts you feel a responsibility with. - You want to manage the use, you want to steward it well.
- We should strive to be good stewards of the gifts God places in our life. - Whether that be talents, abilities, spiritual gifts, influence, financial blessings, health, relationships ... we want to strive to steward God's gifts well. - At times we fail.

And he had peace on all sides around him. 25 And Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon. 26 Solomon also had 40,000 stalls of horses for his ch ...
