How God Became King

Are you ready for a bold statement? Here goes: Our God, Jesus Christ, is the King of the World. And no—not in some spiritual, theoretical, or “far off future” sense. He is currently enthroned, ruling the world with grace and truth. That’s the truth. And that truth should change everything for us. Which brings us to a second bold statement: Most Christians don’t know or don’t live like this is the case. You see, when we realize the full weight of the fact that Jesus is King—how it happened and what it means—we will never see our faith the same way again.

Part 1

March 5 & 6

Between The Cradle & The Cross

Christmas and Easter. The big Christian holidays. They celebrate what Jesus accomplished on Earth—birth, death, resurrection. But what about his life? How would things change if the years between the cradle and cross mattered just as much to the understanding of our faith?

Part 2

March 12 & 13

EMOC MODGNIK RUOY

The phrase “The Kingdom of God” is one of the most spoken in all of Scripture. Which makes it all the more confounding that it’s also one of the most misunderstood ideas in all of Scripture. So what is “The Kingdom of God” that Jesus initiated, and what does it mean for us?

Part 3

March 19 & 20

The Return Of The King

Remember meeting your significant other’s family for the first time? How it gave you more context and clarity into who they are? The same is true of Jesus. We don’t appreciate the fullness of his identity until we realize that he is the culmination of an ongoing story between the God of the Universe and the people that he loves.

Part 4

March 26 & 27

Eyes On The Throne

If God is our King and we’re living in his Kingdom, that means all other “kings” and “kingdoms” must be exposed for the imposters they are. We need to rid our lives of unworthy things competing for our hearts. So how do we stay focused on Jesus and build a Kingdom mindset?

Part 5

April 2 & 3

Friendly Fire & Collateral Damage

As the Kingdom of God advances forward, an Enemy is constantly attempting to snuff it out. And that Enemy is not people who vote or think differently than you. In fact, our Enemy isn’t flesh and blood at all. And the sooner we realize that, the better off our relationships will be.

Part 6

April 9 & 10

It’s Not What It Looks Like

Here’s the fact of the matter—Jesus is King. Right here, right now. His coronation isn’t off in the distance, one day when “every knee will bow and every tongue confess.” He’s already inaugurated and initiated his Kingdom…and he did it in the most unexpected way imaginable.

Part 7

April 16 & 17

Gold From Golgotha

Jesus routinely sought out the outcasts—prostitutes, pagans, tax collectors. And something amazing happened when he did…instead of their sin making Jesus unclean, his presence brought them healing. And King Jesus is still doing the same today. He is drawing our sin onto himself, conquering it, and providing us with new, purpose-filled life. Long live the King!
