Three Kings :: When Success Becomes a Trap

What happens when you get everything you wanted—but it still isn’t enough? Solomon had wealth, wisdom, power, and peace. His reign marked the golden age of Israel, yet by the end of his life his soul was bankrupt. This sermon from 1 Kings 8–11 explores how success can make you comfortable, prideful, and eventually lead to spiritual drift if you stop depending on God. The blessings of God can quickly become barriers to God if we confuse our brilliance with His blessing. Comfort can replace prayer. Pride can replace humility. Drift can replace devotion. The story of Solomon warns us: when you stop trusting, you start drifting.
