In this message, Noel Heikkinen begins a new series through 1 and 2 Kings by exploring the struggle over who will succeed David as king. 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.
