About this sermon
8 AM Sermon Only Scripture: 1 Kings 3:16-27 Having her living baby switched in the middle of the night for a dead baby, the harlot awoke from her slumber in shock. After further examination she then realized that the dead baby wasn't the baby she'd birthed. After going through many obstacles she finally stands in front of King Solomon and pleads her case. Solomon hears the stories of each harlot and decides to use his wisdom, that he asked God for, for the first time. He created a "test of motherhood" by grabbing a sword and he decided to split the baby in two. The real mother sacrificed what she wanted for what was best for the child and said "Give her the child, and by no means kill him", but the other woman said "divide him". Seeing that the real mother was willing to suppress her wants for what was best for the child, King Solomon granted the living baby to the woman who birthed him. We can see that the ultimate expression of Magnificent Motherhood is sacrifice
