Solomon: a wise man who failed to finish well.
This study is created specifically for men, can be used for personal or group use, and is full of thought-provoking questions.
Overview
When God gave Solomon the opportunity to ask for whatever he wanted, Solomon pleased the Lord greatly by asking for wisdom. God lavished on Solomon a wise and discerning heart, which surpassed that of anyone who s ever lived (1 Kings 3:12). God also gave Solomon great wealth and honor. Unfortunately, Solomon ultimately misused these great gifts and lost his kingdom as a result. This study will help you look at the gifts God has given you and discern how you can use those gifts wisely, for God s glory, and not in ways that will lead to self-destruction.
