Discussion Questions

September 27, 2026

1 Kings 9:10-10:29

1. God promised to give and then gave Solomon wisdom but also honor and wealth (cf. 1 Sam 3). Was it wrong for Solomon, as summarized in 1 Kings 9, to engage in various building projects other than the temple? Why or why not?
2. How would you describe the Queen of Sheba’s response to Solomon’s wisdom (1 Kings 10:1-10)? How might you put 1 Kings 10:6-9 into your own words?
3. Solomon is clearly very wealthy. How should we respond to the level of wealth revealed in 1 Kings 10? Allow Paul’s teaching in 1 Timothy 6:17-19 to inform your answer.
4. Pastor Will Stephenson teaches on the four ways you can use your money this way: you spend less, so that you can save enough, so that you can invest more, so that you can give the most. Of these four areas, where do you find it most difficult to faithfully steward the money God has entrusted to you? What is one practical step you could take toward greater faithfulness in how you use your money?
5. This retelling of Solomon’s golden reign would made this impression on the nation in exile: we need a king like Solomon who doesn’t sin like Solomon. How is Jesus like Solomon? How is Jesus unlike Solomon? Why are both important?
