Navigating Change (1 of 5)
Solomon
Josh Malone
2 Kings 1:1-2:4
Today we kick off a new series on the rise and fall of King Solomon.
- Son of David and Bathsheba, 3rd king of Israel, writer of Scripture
- Some of the things Solomon is known for are WISDOM & WEALTH. We will begin to look at this next week. - But he's also known for his fall into idolatry.
Solomon was not perfect, far from it. - Like all of Israel's kings in the OT he points ahead to a need for a Greater and Truer King ... the King that was born in a manger, the Lord Jesus.
There is a lot we can learn from Solomon ... sometimes we see things that are wise ... sometimes we see things that are foolish and sinful.
We begin today in 1 Kings 1-2 looking at his becoming king. - This is the transition from David as king to Solomon as king.
- There are 3 transitions, changes, taking place in these chapters ... 1. David is transitioning from life as king to death. 2. Israel is transitioning from the reign of David to Solomon. 3. Solomon is transitioning from life as the son of David, to life as king.
- Change can be hard, scary, exciting ... they can be a lot of things. Society, Governments, organizations, even churches, and people go through transitions.
In 1 Kings 1-2 ... Israel, David, Solomon ... are all navigating CHANGE. - Listen to these words David shares with Solomon in his last moments.
1 Kings 2:1-4 - When David's time to die drew near, he commanded Solomon his son, saying, 2 "I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, 3 and keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, 4 that the LORD may establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart ...
