Think with your Head not your Heart | 1 Kings 11:1-8

Think with your Head not your Heart | 1 Kings 11:1-8

Sermon Summary: 

The wisest man to ever live, King Solomon, was led astray to do what he knew with his mind he should not do. He was led astray by his feelings/desires. Pastor Josh explores the proper role of our feelings and our logic, and how God has made us to use each of those in their proper contexts. 

  • Solomon desired discernment to benefit his people.

  • Even with great wisdom, Solomon was led away from God because of his feelings.

  • Two problems that we can run into with our feelings:

    1. We put them in the driver’s seat.

    2. We stuff them in the trunk.

  • We need scripture to regulate us, not our feelings, not our logic.

    1. Our heart/feelings can be deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9)

    2. Our ways and thoughts are not God’s ways or thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9)

  • God made humans with a body, soul, mind, with feelings. We consist of all of those aspects.
