DGT Episode 348 - The Weight Of Success - King Solomon Part 5

About this episode

Fr. Nathan Cromly discusses the challenges of success as exemplified by King Solomon's story.

It is said by many that success can be harder to cope with than failure. Certainly this was true for King Solomon. The incredible success we read about in first Kings 9 and 10 is only the prelude to his incredible downfall. But what a prelude it is. What does God want us to learn from it? In this our fifth segment on King Solomon, I examine the weight of success and the call for Christian leaders not only to achieve it but to live it like saints.
