We have made quite a journey so far in our Route 66 series.  We began in the beginning and have made it to the pinnacle of Old Testament in 2 Samuel.  In 1 Kings, we will see Israel reach its heighth of power and wealth in the reign of Solomon, ony to come crashing hard to the ground.  It has been so encouraging to see how God’s faithfullness in not thwarted by human rebellion.  Have you been surprised by this?  In reading through the OT, have you been amazed by the intimate connection to Christ and the New Testament?  Let’s talk about any “lightbulb” moments you have had.
