Jesus and Solomon
by David G. Rose
In this study, we will draw some comparisons between the Old Testament King Solomon, and our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ. These thoughts have their base in the thrilling prophecy of Jesus in Luke 11. Beginning in Luke 11:29, Jesus is warning Believers to stop looking for signs and to trust in the wisdom of the teachings of Christ.
Then Jesus said in Luke 11:31 NKJV, “The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.” Jesus is greater than Solomon!
Solomon was the youngest and last son of King David. But Jesus is the Son of the living God. Though Solomon enjoyed the power and authority of earthly fame, it cannot match the glory of Christ. One day, the reign of Solomon ended. But Jesus will reign in power for all of eternity. Jesus is indeed the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Solomon enjoyed a vast amount of wealth, wisdom, and glory. People came from all over the known earth just to hear the wise pontifications that he willingly shared. The amazing story of the Queen of Sheba produced stories that were told through the ongoing generations. (! Kings 10; 2 Chronicles 9)
But the wisdom, power, and glory of Christ outshines the splendor of Solomon. As we read in Revelation 4:11 NLT, “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”
Solomon built a marvelous Temple. It may have been the most expensive structure ever built. But Christ has prepared a mansion for us that no human hand has ever touched. Though Solomon’s Temple was destroyed, that which Christ is building will stand for eternity.
Solomon had the wisdom of God in the decisions that he made. He understood human problems and knew how to solve them. But Jesus knows the hearts and thoughts of mankind. He knows the evil that dwells there, and has provided the only hope for peace with God. Behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Know this, the wisdom and power of Christ has never, nor will it ever, be exceeded by mankind. There is no reason to fear the wisdom of artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini. Humans still outperform AI in situations that involve deep emotional relationship and authentic originality. But the wisdom of Christ overwhelms that which we find on earth.
The Apostle James wrote in James 3:17 NKJV, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” And as the Apostle Paul wrote about the wisdom of Christ in Colossians 2:3, “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Christ is better than Solomon!

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>
Sunday Devotional
September 27, 2026
Word of our God
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV - All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Psalm 119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever.
Prayer: Dear Lord, on the glorious Sunday, I will enter your gates with thanksgiving and into your courts with praise. Blessed be your wonderful name. The scripture today reminds me that You are the only true anchor in my life. I depend on your word, your Holy Spirit, and your constant companionship with every breath I take. Without you, I would wither like the grass and fade like the flower. May I live with full devotion to you today. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Our Responsibilities
As Believers
A Brief Study regarding the expectations
that Jesus has for His Believers
as found in John 17
As Christ's Eternal Companions
by David G. Rose
We continue our series of articles based in John 17 discussing our responsibilities as Believers. Along with the awesome privileges we have, there are critical obligations that we must embrace so we can fulfill the callings of Christ.
Our seventh and last responsibility as Believers is stated in the words of Jesus in John 17:24 KJV, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.”
What an awesome outcome: Servants sharing in their Master’s honor! This is our Blessed Hope as revealed in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 KJV, “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
Jesus intended that we be His forever friends. Not just here on earth, but in the glory to come. Keep your vows to Him and let us all join together in the victory celebration in Heaven. (Revelation 19)
Next week: Summation of series of articles
All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.

Gifts Money Cannot Buy
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
Super Sticker Shock!
One advantage to getting older are the memories of simpler times. As a young lad, I remember gas at only 25 cents per gallon. Hamburgers at McDonald at only 15 cents. My parents buying a brick home for only $14,000.
Now there’s sticker shock everywhere for sure. But one thing that has not changed is our Father God. He still gives the best gifts—and all for free.
Faith in God—priceless. Healing better than any Health care provider can deliver. And of course, Heaven holds the most comprehensive retirement plan ever.
Yes, the world is full of scams and hacks, and promises that never materialize. But our Lord of Lords still abundantly provides for His children of all ages.
He gives gifts money can’t buy.
Here’s a real “Sticker Shock” poem:
Faith in God and divine wisdom
High moral character too—
These are gifts we cannot buy
Without Him we haven’t a clue.
Friendship and lasting love
Deep peace and solace too—
These are gifts we cannot buy
They are Father God’s gifts to you.--
PRAYER: Thanks Lord for supplying all our needs at no charge—no delivery fees nor taxes. Gifts money can’t buy. Amen.

If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
