Welcome!

Week 8 of a 16-week series through the Old Testament

Solomon Dedicates the Temple

1 Kings 5:1-5; 8:27-30, 41-43

Likewise, when foreigners come and pray toward this house, then hear in heaven your dwelling place and do whatever the foreigners ask of you, so that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you.

A lively conversation is happening within the Bible itself about how God’s people might think about outsiders. Overall the Bible reflects an openness to outsiders. As Solomon hoped and prayed, God embraces the prayers and the people of all nations, not just one.

All are Welcome...
