1 Kings 5:1-5, 8:1-18
Solomon's Temple

Solomon's prayer as he dedicates the temple serves as a profound reminder of God's boundless presence among us, not confined to a physical structure but accessible to all who seek Him, including the marginalized and the foreigner. This sermon emphasizes the importance of communal worship and how we can come together as a reflection of God's Spirit at work within our lives. It challenges us to recognize and honor God's presence in both joyous and difficult times, encouraging us to embody love and serve with intention.

Reflection Questions:
1. In what ways can we create spaces in our lives that invite God’s presence and encourage communal involvement?
2. Take time this week to create a sacred space at home. What items, decorations, or accessories remind you of the times when you have noticed God's presence in your life? Please share a photo with us on Social media.
