IN WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY
"The Gift of Wisdom"
Solomon is given the opportunity to ask God for anything. What does he choose? Wisdom! And the very first thing he applies that wisdom to is an extraordinary case in which two mothers are fighting over the maternity of an infant. The solution Solomon comes up with is an unorthodox one. However, it’s also one that has a lot to teach us about the nature of wisdom.

We hope that you can join us this Sunday. You’ll be the wiser for it!
