1 Kings 1:7-8

The pages of Scripture vividly depict the lives of many kings who accomplished great things for God, yet also had shortcomings that limited their impact and lives. What can we learn from their yesterdays to help us experience success in our tomorrows? Join me on this five-day journey into the lives of Biblical kings so we can learn to defeat the enemies of success!

God has called us to rise above life’s storms and live in the freedom of His purpose, embracing the unique plans He has prepared for us. Yet daily pressures, worries, and challenges can weigh us down and keep us from experiencing all He has for us. This Bible plan is designed to help you lift your eyes above the clouds and discover true freedom in Him. Throughout this journey, you will reflect on your identity in God, uncover the treasures He placed within you, find joy in every season, and learn to live freely in His presence and promises.

With the death of King David, Israel came under the leadership of Solomon. Although Solomon possessed incredible wealth and wisdom, his idolatry and unfaithfulness lead to derision and division in the kingdom. Despite Solomon and Israel's sinfulness, God continued to preserve the Davidic line in anticipation of the greater coming King, Jesus Christ.

By the end of this study, we pray that you will know God’s voice better, that you will know when and how he speaks, and feel compelled to obey. As we study Scripture, we will discover that God’s plan cannot be thwarted regardless of who is in power. The point of the original monarchy found in 1 and 2 Samuel, illustrates that from the beginning.
