📖 1 Kings 6 – Building the Temple of the Lord
In today’s episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we walk through one of the most sacred moments in redemptive history—the construction of Solomon’s temple.
Every detail, from cubits to carvings, reveals the holiness of God and His desire to dwell with His people. This isn’t just a construction report—it’s a theological masterpiece. Join Dave Jenkins as he unpacks the glory, reverence, and Christ-centered meaning of the temple, and how this passage speaks to your daily life, worship, and walk with God.
