- 2. STRENGTHS = DOWNFALL? “We generally think of Satan attacking us at our weakest spot… But weakness is not our only vulnerability. Satan can also attack us where we think we are strong—in the very areas where we are proud of our strengths. He will approach us through the greatest talents and spiritual gifts we possess. If we are not wary, Satan can cause our spiritual downfall by corrupting us through our strengths as well as by exploiting our weaknesses” (“Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall,” Ensign, Oct. 1994, 12).

Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome to Sunday School– another beatutiful day in the Pacific Northwest Start with a word of Prayer from______________________________________________ One of my strengths is that I’m not shy, I can talk to anybody/anywhere at anytime about anything King Solomon had a strength his was WISDOM—is it possible that our strengths can also be our weakness?
- WE are going to see in today’s lesson how Solomon used his gifts unrigtheously Watch for the gradual decline What are some strengths that could become our downfall? Emphasize that we should look for his flaws not to judge him, but to learn from his mistakes
- A little background on these chapters might be helpful, it can be confusing to read sometimes REMEMBER– different author covering same period of time with a Hindsight probably post exile or right before Conflicting perspectives of Solomon David is sick and dying—Solomon is called as his successor Here’s a summary of his advice great advice and if Solomon had followed that this story would be very different Soon after becoming King the Lord appears to him in a dream and asks him”What shall I give thee?”
- David asks for an understanding heart –Hebrew translation A HEART THAT LISTENS– how does this change the meaning for you? What would you ask God for? Here’s God’s answer– blessing or curse?
- One of the first things Solomon has to do as King is going to put the Understanding heart to the test’ I’ve asked Bro Beal to share this story with us!
- The thing that Solomon is most known for is the building of the Temple! Here’s some facts Solomon’s palace—what does this say about where Solomon is at Spirtiually?
- Solomon dedicated the temple and invoked many beautiful blessings on the Israelites– famine relief, help in battles but most importantly I Kings 8:30
- So after the temple is built Solomon’s riches and honor only increase but he uses them foolishly and takes many wives Let’s read about it 11:1-2 How does this show he has turned away from God? Remember that scripture about a camel and a needle? WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT?
- Remember our opening quote from Dallin H Oaks? How do we prevent our strengths from becoming our downfalls? Like Solomon? Well, to make sure you feel sufficiently humbled from today’s lesson we are going to play a trivia game to see how much you learned from today’s lesson!!
