Bible Text: 1 Kings 8:22-53 | Preacher: Joseph Parkinson | Series: Lessons for the Journey | Solomon’s benediction of the completed temple reveals not only theology or liturgy but his heart. It is a heart that is desiring not to build a monument for himself but as a place where people can find the true God. We develop the imporance of surrender in the growth of God’s people from Solomon’s dedication prayer.
