We’re kicking off a brand new sermon series, Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, with a foundational message that frames the entire journey ahead. In this message, Pastor Christian Lindbeck introduces the central question that runs throughout the life of Solomon and, ultimately, through every human heart: Am I building God’s kingdom, or my own empire? Using Scripture from Genesis, 1 Kings, and the story of Solomon’s rise and fall, Pastor Christian unpacks two ways to live — a wide, flourishing life with God enthroned at the center, or a small, self-driven life built on pride and self-determination. This message also launches our second year of Kingdom Builders, calling our church to intentionally choose rhythms, habits, and priorities that keep us focused on God’s kingdom. This sermon sets the tone for the weeks ahead and invites each of us to honestly examine what we’re building with our lives.
