We have met the enemy and he is us! | Pastor Brandon Beals | Venture Church

On Blue Sunday, Pastor Brandon continues our sermon series Solomon: The Man Who Had It All, diving into the early moments of Solomon’s reign and uncovering a powerful truth that runs through his entire story.

Through Scripture in 1 Kings and the final words of David to Solomon, this message explores the idea that while Solomon worked tirelessly to remove every external enemy, he failed to address the greatest enemy of all — his own heart.

Pastor Brandon challenges us to reflect on where our true battles lie, reminding us that the most significant struggles we face are often internal. Pride, unchecked desires, and misplaced affections can quietly undermine even the wisest and most successful lives.

This message invites us to examine our hearts, guard what shapes us, and walk in obedience to God’s Word before small compromises become lifelong consequences.

Whether you’re familiar with Solomon’s story or hearing it for the first time, this sermon offers timeless wisdom and a sobering reminder to stay attentive to the condition of your heart.
