The author of 1st Kings continues to detail the character development of King Solomon. In this sermon pastor Anthony helps us look more closely at Solomon's heart, affections, and age.

Pastor Anthony takes us through an incredible conversation that Jesus has with Pilate. Jesus is put under a magnifying glass as we look at this conversation.

We start our time in John 17, looking at this prayer of Jesus that helps us get to know Jesus more, and form us into more mature disciples of his.
