959 BC: King Solomon and the Song of Solomon Jan 10, 2016

Show notes

In Matthew 22:34, an expert in the law asked Jesus a question. He asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment. Jesus responded "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
How is this commandment possible? The only way for us to truly love God is for us to have to intimacy with him and have his love and to give it away to others. In this episode, we discuss the Song of Solomon and the concept of intimacy and the love with God, Biblical marriages and how to love others like Jesus commanded.

959 BC: If My People... Dec 12, 2015

Show notes

The grand opening of Solomon's Temple was fantastic! When the Ark was placed in the Holy of Holies, the Glory of Lord began to fill the temple preventing the Levites from conducting their sacrifices. Beneath the Glory Cloud, Solomon steps up and prays for himself, his nation, his people and intercedes on behalf of his descendants.
Once Solomon has completed his prayers, he calls upon God to come and fill and rest in the Temple and God's response was fire from heaven that consumed the sacrifices and later Solomon's second encounter.
