Text: 2 Chronicles 7
Link to sermon: The Story Pt. 13
Main Point: God calls us to live lives dependent on Him.
Solomon dedicates the Temple, God shows up in a mighty way, promises that He will heal the land if the people humble themselves and cry out to Him in dependence and lastly He warns Solomon to live dependent on Him and if he does it will go well with him.
Discussion Questions:
- Is affluence a blessing or a curse?
(Depends on how you use it...could be both/and)
- Did Solomon finish well?
(No)
- What was Solomon's mistake?
He took his eyes off of God. He had a life of affluence, all of his needs were met...he took his eyes off of God and put them on idols...it was the same mistake David made with Bathsheba.
