Checkmate #10: The Achievement Trap

About the Message

Dr. Stephen G. Tan | 1 Kings 9:1-10:29

Can the pursuit of wealth, power, and reputation, if driven by noble intentions, truly be harmless? In this sermon, we'll explore how the very accomplishments that defined King Solomon's reign also posed significant spiritual risks that eventually led to his downfall, serving as a reminder to us of the temporary nature of earthly success and the enduring value of fearing, trusting, and obeying God.
