Checkmate #11: A Recipe for Disaster

About the Message

Dr. Stephen G. Tan | 1 Kings 11:1-43

Watching the downfall of someone exceptional and remarkably influential, who seemed to have it all, is undeniably heart-breaking. It hits even harder if that person claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ. How do we avoid being checkmated into a downward spiral like what happened to King Solomon? We look at five unspiritual ingredients that make up a recipe for a disastrous life.
