Way Of Kings: The King Of Peace

Join me today for a look into the life of King Solomon. Did you know that he had a nickname from the Lord, “Jedidiah” which means “beloved of the Lord”? That was new to me! You’ll learn in this teaching about Solomon’s upbringing and will look into the circumstances surrounding his birth and how they impacted him in his struggle in his identity. See how God chose him to be king even though he wasn’t first born.  God gave Solomon the wisdom needed to govern the people yet Solomon chose not to follow God’s commandments, even after a warning from the Lord. Why do you think that was? Why didn’t David proclaim and anoint Solomon as king early on and save Adonijah from trying to take it from Solomon? We will look at these and other questions in king Solomon’s life.
