Through Adonijah’s attempt to seize the throne and Solomon’s rise to power, Noel examines our tendency to control outcomes, manipulate circumstances, and hold onto grievances when things don’t go our way. He shows how even David and Solomon are deeply flawed leaders who point toward the need for a different kind of king. Ultimately, the story challenges us to give up control of our own “kingdoms” and submit to Jesus, who rules with mercy.\nSubscribe to AfterWords on  Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.\nVisit us online: rivchurch.com\nFollow us on Instagram\nSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com\n—\nAbout Riverview Church\nRiverview Church is a multi-venue church based in Lansing, Michigan, where we invite everyone to know and enjoy Jesus as we stumble together in our pursuit to love like Him.
