Sermon Notes for 11/01/2026
SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 3:5-15
Power rightly held leads to dependence. This doesn't happen unless we first confess our limits and weaknesses.
Who was Solomon?
- David and Bathsheba's son
- Israel's 3rd King
- The wisest man to have ever lived
Solomon's Confession (v.5-9)
- "I am like a little boy..." - 1 Kings 3:7
- His heart lacked the discernment needed to lead God's people, so he asked God for help.
God's Response (v.10-15)
- God was pleased with Solomon's request
- He blessed Solomon with discernment, wealth, and honor
Power rightly held leads to dependence - Proverbs 3:5-6
We must admit our limitations. An understanding heart and rightly held power only become reality when we give those weaknesses and limitations to the Lord - 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
We think confession lowers us in the eyes of others, but, in actuality, it's the very thing that lifts us into the hands of God.
