The Gospel Project for Kids | Current Unit: Wise King Solomon
(View Previous Units Here)
Solomon ruled Israel with great wisdom that God had given him, and he obeyed God when he built the temple. Despite his wisdom, Solomon sinned and his sin led to the nation of Israel being divided into two kingdoms. Solomon reminds us of our need for Jesus, the sinless King who is true wisdom.
