King Solomon seemingly had every advantage - wealth, wisdom and, of course, women. How could such a privileged person still become a train wreck? Join us for this teaching from 1 Kings 11.

The second message of the series focuses on the life of King David - "What You Say to Your Soul." In 1 Samuel 27, David reached the point in his journey where he was simply "done." From his example, we learn what not to do when life is beyond frustrating.

A wise person seeks to learn from the mistakes of others, and the Bible definitely provides us examples of people who failed. In the first of the series, we look at 1 Samuel 13 and the life of Saul, Israel's first king.

In 1 Samuel 24, David had the opportunity to destroy Saul, the very one who was trying to destroy him. While David himself was never perfect, his example in many ways teaches us to trust the Lord as we deal with opposition.

In 2 Chronicles 21, King Jehoram was a wicked king in Judah, but God saw to it that Jehoram did not escape the fallout from his actions - including the falling out of his bowels.

One of the reasons we don't experience the fullness of the Christian life is that we don't understand what Jesus accomplished for us on the Cross. Not only we are fully forgiven in Christ, but His righteousness is now our righteousness. 

In Genesis 32, Jacob has a strange and intense encounter with God and would not emerge as the same person. What can we learn from Jacob's "smackdown" with God?
