Pleasing the Lord

Coming off the Easter holiday, we tend to be more grateful than usual for the things the Lord has done for us. We have thoughts of the crucifixion and the accompanying beatings and such that He endured along the way reminding us to appreciate the sacrifices He made for us. As a result, it may be useful to have this Sunday's service be on the topic of "What Pleases the Lord?" Some, maybe all of it, will be fairly obvious and familiar to you, but hopefully you can pick up something during the service that you can focus on as your way of thanking the Lord for all the blessings He's given you.

1 Kings 3:6-10
6
Solomon said, "You have shown to your servant David my father great loving kindness, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you. You have kept for him this great loving kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7
Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father. I am but a little child. I don't know how to go out or come in.
8
Your servant is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that can't be numbered nor counted for multitude.
9
Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?"
10
The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
