Title: Finding Your Footing
Author: Craig Smith
Text: 1 Kings 3:5-14, Proverbs 1:7
Hey, before we get into our message today I want us to take some time to pray about what happened in Pennsylvania yesterday. Would you join me? God. We're your people before. We're any kind of politics and as your people we call what happened yesterday? Evil. There's no other word for it. Lord, we pray for the families of those who were killed, that you would somehow meet them in their grief.

I would've probably been a little bit critical, a little bit judgmental, and I would've probably used words like shallow watered down theology, maybe even human centered church.
And I think it's partly 'cause honestly, 10 years ago I didn't believe God cared whether or not you enjoyed your life. And I think that's probably because I grew up in church. How many of us grew up in church? So I wonder if you had t ...
