Aug. 15, 2021 Neighborhood Church Chico Sunday Service-Series Wk#33 " Lessons from Three Kings" Solomon's Spiritual Spiral” (1 Kings 11). In this message Pastor Andrew talks about Solomon's slide away from Godly living into compromise. Though he was the wisest person who ever lived, he didn't apply that knowledge of how to live as he grew older. The challenge for us is to worship and serve Jesus with a whole heart.
Lifegroup Questions: Galatians 5:7 says: "You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?" The key question we asked on Sunday was: What or Who has pulled you away from wholeheartedly following Jesus? Share what has been making following Jesus difficult in this past season.
Leadership question: Some spouses, parents, bosses and leaders will do anything to keep the peace. Solomon certainly was willing to compromise following God completely to keep peace with his wives - where are you pressured or tempted to compromise to keep peace?
Andrew talked about being unequally yoked with unbelievers (1 Tim. 6)... the delicate balance must be found to be in the lives of those who don't know Jesus & making sure that you are spending enough time with those who will nurture and strengthen your faith (other believers). How is that balance going for you? Have you found that time with unbelievers is causing you to compromise your Biblical values?
