"Queen of Sheba came Seeking and Finding"

(1 Kings 10:1 ) And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

(1 Kings 10:2 ) And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

(1 Kings 10:3 ) And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

(1 Kings 10:4 ) And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

(1 Kings 10:5 ) And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

(1 Kings 10:6 ) And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

(1 Kings 10:7 ) Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

1. Solomon is a type of Christ here.

a. Solomon was richest in world, (God is rich does not need anything) but he took it. God does not need what we have but he takes it and multiples it back to us.

(1 Cor 2:9 KJV) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

C. We need to see God's power in the Church.

1. The Church needs to be like a healing hospital.

V. She received something from the king.

(1 Kings 10:13 KJV) And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
