God As King | The Big Ask

Life can often feel overwhelming, filled with unexpected challenges, tough decisions, and a constant flood of information. In this sermon, "The Big Ask," we explore 1 Kings 3, where Solomon, faced with the immense responsibility of ruling Israel, asks God for a discerning heart. Instead of seeking wealth or power, Solomon humbly acknowledges his need for divine wisdom, setting an example for us to follow. When we feel uncertain, anxious, or burdened, we too can turn to God, who promises to give wisdom generously to those who ask in faith (James 1:5).

This message reminds us that true wisdom comes from God and that aligning ourselves with Him—not political systems or worldly priorities—leads to clarity and peace. Through Solomon’s story, we see the importance of seeking God’s guidance in all areas of life, from personal struggles to leadership decisions. As we navigate life’s uncertainties, we are encouraged to cultivate a listening heart—one that hears and obeys God’s direction—trusting that He will lead us in the right path.
