Choose Wisely | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

The Man Who Had It All series, Pastor Brandon walks us through one of the most pivotal chapters in Solomon’s life — the moment where wisdom and drift exist side by side.

Using the powerful illustration of drifting at the beach, this message shows how spiritual compromise rarely happens overnight. It happens slowly. Subtly. One small decision at a time.

We explore:

• Solomon’s early compromises

• The difference between wisdom and knowledge

• The famous “cut the baby in half” moment

• How success can mask spiritual drift

• Why finishing well matters more than starting strong

Solomon asked God for wisdom — and God gave it generously. But even wisdom cannot protect someone who slowly drifts from obedience.

This message is both a warning and an invitation:

If you’ve been drifting, you can come home.
