Seeds of Grace
info_outlineIn this episode, we delve into 1 Kings 3, where Solomon begins his reign over Israel, forging an unexpected alliance with Egypt through marriage to Pharaoh's daughter. Despite God's warnings in other parts of Scripture against marrying foreign spouses—knowing they could lead Israel astray—Solomon's actions reveal both his struggles and his heart. His worship at high places highlights his imperfections, yet God sees Solomon’s sincere love and grants him a profound gift: wisdom.
