The good news of the gospel reveals how God’s grace meets us where our own efforts fall short.
Paul delivers his famous sermon in Athens, to some of the most intellectual, learned people in all the empire. Despite their wisdom, they were ignorant of the most important knowledge - the knowledge of the one true God. When He sent his Son, Jesus Christ, the guilt of the world was exposed, as the Redeemer was slain and risen again. Now God commands all people everywhere to repent, you and me, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a gracious command that leads to life.
King Solomon was abundantly blessed by God, but over time his heart was led astray by his hundreds of wives, and he began to follow their gods too. An idolatrous heart is like a cheating heart, and God in his anger would tear the kingdom away from Solomon. Yet out of his mercy he allowed Solomon to rule over 1 tribe, that one day a Savior king would come. God is angry with the wicked every day, but he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bring us into his eternal kingdom.
We must examine the motive behind all our actions. Hypocrisy and falseness are all over the place in the world, but they shouldn’t be in the church. If we can’t be honest in the church, then where can we be? Examine your heart before the Lord and repent of any wrong motives that you may have.

from the deceitful and unjust man
deliver me!

The cross finished the work, the tomb proved the victory, and the gospel still has power to change lives today.
