Questioning Solomon’s Wisdom with Rev. Nancy Bacon

On Sunday, August 18th, we invite you to a service that promises to provoke thought and reflection as Rev. Nancy Bacon delivers her sermon, "Solomon’s Wisdom?" Centered on the passages from 1 Kings 2:10-12; 3:3-14; 5:13-17, this sermon will question the true nature of Solomon’s wisdom.

While Solomon is often celebrated for his wise rulings and grand achievements, his reign also included significant flaws and challenges. Rev. Bacon will lead us in examining whether Solomon’s wisdom was as clear-cut as it seems, and what this means for our own quest for wisdom.

By engaging with the complexities of Solomon’s story, we are invited to explore our own definitions and aspirations of wisdom. This service will encourage you to think critically about how wisdom is applied in our lives today.

Join us for a meaningful exploration of these themes, and leave with a renewed perspective on what it means to be truly wise. We can’t wait to welcome you.
