Because King Solomon's heart was turned away from God, the Lord was angry with him and will tear the kingdom in two. A divided heart will lead to a divided kingdom.
We've reached a high point in 1 Kings. Wise King Solomon is on the throne, gold is flowing into Israel, and the army has even more horses than Solomon has wives! Did no one read Deuteronomy 17?
As we gathered this week at Blue Lake Park for GBC Day 2026, Pastor Mike Dahl continues our series in 1 Kings where God responds to Solomon's prayer.
King Solomon has just finished praying a prayer of dedication at the temple, and now he turns to the people and gives a blessing—praise to God, a reminder of His faithfulness, and exhortation to the people to remain near to God.
Pastor Mike Dahl continues our series through 1 Kings as we look at the wise King Solomon's prayer of dedication of the temple.
Dr. Todd Miles continues through the book of 1 Kings, with a passage in which the ark of the covenant is brought into the temple.
We come to a detailed chapter—even a chapter of details—concerning the building of the temple. It's easy to gloss over these details as an irrelevant blueprint of a no-longer-existing building. But these details paint a picture of the beauty of a lasting temple, a living God, and the beautiful gospel that remains very relevant to us today.
Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from 1 Kings 6, where construction of the temple begins.
Scott Bean opens 1 Kings 5 to us, where Israel is making preparations to build the long awaited temple.
As we continue our series through 1 Kings, we see Israel in "good times" as Solomon has asked God for wisdom and has received it.
Josh Mathews continues our series through 1 Kings with Solomon asking God for wisdom and then using that wisdom in a tragic and impossibly difficult situation where a baby has died and two mothers both claim the living child as their own.
Continuing the story of Solomon's ascension to the throne after King David died, we find three men who took mercy for granted and found justice instead.
As King David prepares to die, he gives instructions to Solomon who is becoming king after him.
We're beginning a new series in the book of 1 Kings. King David is not long for this world, and a successor is about to be named, but there is disagreement about who that someone will be.
As we come to the trial of Jesus before the high priest, another trial is taking place outside. As Jesus stands before the highest authorities and claims, "I am", Peter stands before a servant girl and claims to not even know the man.
In the last moments before Jesus would be abandoned by his closest companions, even betrayed, we find him praying to the father, as his full humanity is confronting the immense suffering he is about to endure, is it possible to do this any other way? Yet, "for the joy set before him" he submits himself to the Father's good will.
In Mark 14, we've come to the last Passover meal Jesus has before his crucifixion. The disciples learn that a place has been prepared for their preparation, Jesus predicts his betrayal, and identifies himself as the fulfillment of the Passover as he institutes the Lord's Supper.
Dr. Todd Miles brings a message from Mark 14 where, in the midst of adversarial encounters, a costly gift is lavishly poured out on Jesus.
This week, we look at the "Olivet Discourse" where Jesus predicts the destruction of Jerusalem. The disciples ask, "when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
In Chapter 12 of Mark, we look at a scene in four parts where Jesus is being question by religious professionals, a warning about them to the disciples, then in contrast, a widow giving "all she had".
On this Easter Sunday, we look at the historical event of Jesus' resurrection. If he was not raised from the dead, our faith is useless. But, if he did get up from the dead, we must deal with what that means for us and how we must respond.
On this Friday before Resurrection Sunday, we look forward a few chapters from our place in Mark to spend some time reflecting on when the King came and was coronated with thorns when we nailed this king to a cross for insurrection.
In Mark 12, Jesus is in a confrontation with religious leaders where his authority is challenged. They perceive that his parable of the wicked tenants is against them, and they respond with trap questions regarding taxes and the resurrection.
Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from chapter 11 of the gospel of Mark, where Jesus cleanses the temple and curses the fig tree.
In chapter 11 of Mark, we look at the scene where Jesus enters Jerusalem to shouts of "Save us!" followed by a strange cursing of a fig tree that didn't have fruit when it wasn't the season for figs.
