SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 260, “How Aware Are You of Holy Spaces?” Kim discusses the holiness of God and how understanding who we are in comparison to a holy God can change everything. She interjected the story from Isaiah 6 as an example of how seeing clearly a holy God can impact a life.
Our focal passages for this episode are 1 Kings 9:10-28; 2 Chronicles 8:1-18 with verse 2 Chronicles 8:11 as the focal verse:
11 Solomon moved his wife, Pharaoh’s daughter, from the City of David to the new palace he had built for her. He said, “My wife must not live in King David’s palace, for the Ark of the Lord has been there, and it is holy ground.”
WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:
