  17. We come to King Solomon… • 1 Chr 226-10David was not to build the temple • His son Solomon would (peace on every side) • How would David feel about this? • Solomon is treated as a son

  18. The Life of Solomon • He Inherited the Kingdom from David 1 Kings 128-30 • David Charges Him 1 Kings 22-4 • He Humbly asked God for Wisdom 1 Kings 35-9 • He Was honored by God for his HEART! 1 Kings 310-14 • God Warned Him (as he does us!) 1 Kings 96-7 • He Built an Incredible Kingdom 1 Kings 106-9 • He Compromised ONE Area of His Life 1 Kings 111-2, 6 • Gave into his temptation with women… • Thought he was strong / above God’s direction • Paid SEVERLY for his pride…divided God’s Kingdom FOREVER! • He Paid Severely for His Sin 1 Kings 1111-13

  20. Do Not Intermarry ! (cont.) • WHAT? (Happens when we don’t obey) • Solomon didn’t think it necessary to obey in this area of his life • He considered himself strong • Although he followed God in every other way, this area caused the problem / division

  21. Teen Application • 2 Cor 112-3I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. • Phil 214-16, 2 Tim 222, Rev 141-4 • We need deep convictions about Godly dating • We should WANT to date disciples (because of mutual convictions!) • The #1 goal of dating/marriage is a partner in the gospel • Gen 218The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." • Mark 1225When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. • Marriage is a temporary blessing while we are on this earth!
