1 Kings 1:1-27: All Hail the King!

Rev. Dr. Walter Maier, III, professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 1 Kings 1:1-27.

Who is next in line to be king? David was near the end of his journey on earth and his oldest son, Adonijah, tried taking the throne against the will of God. In one way, we can relate with the desire to do something we are convinced is right because WE want to do it, as opposed to what God desires. We pray for the Holy Spirit to continuously show us what He calls us to do as His children and lead us to repentance and the forgiveness of sins on account of Christ. “Lord God, strengthen us in our daily walk to live in accordance with Your Word and trust in Your forgiving grace won for us in Christ. Amen”
