Outlines:
Morning
June 8: AM: 1 Kings 11
1.1. Scripture intro
1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,
2 from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel, "You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods." Solomon held fast to these in love.
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.
4 For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.1
1.2. Summary Sentence
Marriage: every time a culture degrades marriage, it collapses.
1.3. Background to Text
Solomon's many wives for political purposes, sensual purposes, and business purposes;
Why did you get married?
Why do you want to get married?
1.4. Major Theme in Text
Making marriage about anything but reflecting Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5) degrades the purpose (Genesis 1-2) and begins the collapse of God-honoring culture.
1.5. Concepts of the Text
1. When we are not married: if we make marital status and not God-honoring our goal (1 Corinthians 7)
2. When we are not married: if we participate in things reserved to marriage (sexual purity, mainly)
3. When we are married: if we make our marital status as if better (Mark 12)
4. When we are married: if we fail to live as Christ commanded (sacrifice and love)
5. When we are married: if we fail to honor marriage in others
1.6. Application Point
The church must:
Reflect Christ in our Marriages
Reflect Christ's grace in our approach to marriage
Reflect contentment in Christ in our status
Evening
June 8 PM: Ecclesiastes 1:1-2
1.1. Scripture intro
Ecclesiastes 1: pointlessness
1.2. Summary Sentence
When we disobey, nothing great we have is worth having.
1.3. Background to Text

Without honoring Christ, your wealth, wisdom, and wives are worthless.
