Hey guys, welcome back. First Kings chapter four today. I can't wait to talk to you about the highest

point in Solomon's kingdom. There's just something about us. We love the highest point. We want to

climb that mountain. We want to get that view. Well, this is the highest point in Solomon's kingdom.

Let's find out what it was and how he got there. Listen to him.

Hey, friends, welcome back to today's episode in chapter four of the book of first kings,

talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly. And sometimes when we talk about the good,

bad, and ugly, as it refers to the kings and the ugly. And sometimes when we talk about the good, bad, and ugly, as it refers to the

kings of the northern and southern kingdoms, we can talk about one king being good and bad and ugly.

And that's the case with Solomon. I mean, starts off really good, but to make some bad decisions

that end up in an ugly end to his reign.

Now, we're not going to get there today. We're talking about the good part, talking about his

administrative prowess and his wisdom and how he surrounded himself with right people. And there was

great loyalty and great production and great organization.

There are times in any organization where the momentum is just taking care of itself.

The famous leadership guru, John Maxwell, talks about organizations going through that time of great momentum.

He calls it the big mo.

And that's true of churches.

That's true of businesses.
