As Easter approaches, Pastor Joshua begins a new sermon series to talk about the importance of not just having Jesus as savior, but to have Him as King!
Genesis 1:1 New International Version
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
John 1:1-4 New International Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
Principle: God is not only the Creator, He is the King.
Psalm 24:10 New Living Translation
10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—he is the King of glory.
Genesis 1:1 New International Version
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:27 New International Version
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Proverbs 29:2 New Living Translation
2 When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.
Principle: When godly people are in authority the people are blessed.
Psalm 24:1-2, 7-10 New Living Translation
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. 2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths. 7 Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. 8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty;
the Lord, invincible in battle. 9 Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. 10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of Heaven’s Armies— he is the King of glory.
1 Samuel 8:1-9 New International Version
1 When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as Israel’s leaders. 2 The name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abijah, and they served at Beersheba. 3 But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice. 4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, “You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” 6 But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day,
forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
Genesis 49:8-12 New International Version
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you. 9 You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse him? 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his. 11 He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.
Principle: He was always the king from the beginning.
Joshua 24:15 New Living Translation
15 …as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”
