Christ the King Sunday
This Sunday is Christ the King Sunday. And yes—I know it’s also the Sunday before Thanksgiving. And yes—we’ll feast together with a big Thanksgiving meal after worship. (A very good Sunday to visit us!)
But my sermon will lift up Christ the King. This is the big shoutin’ day before the quiet beauty of Advent. Everything from Easter forward builds to this moment. It’s as big as Christmas!
It’s just that… nobody really knows it.
So I’m here to tell you.This is the day we declare who Jesus is:
King of the universe.
Lord of lords.
Savior of this world—and any others that may exist.And here’s something interesting—about time, right?
This exalted status I assign to Jesus is backed up by human experience.Some people meet Jesus—literally, personally, unmistakably. And when they do, he is exactly the Exalted One the church proclaims.
Heidi Barr was a 16-year-old Jewish girl whose heart stopped when she was thrown from a horse. Suddenly, Jesus was there. He took her to see “the Father.”
The singer “Maya,” known worldwide as M.I.A., was raised Hindu. In a moment of deep crisis in 2017, Jesus appeared to her in a vision. She said simply, “He saved me.”
Jesus has been appearing to people for 2,000 years. I know thousands of these stories.
Why do people keep seeing him?Because he is the Christ.
Christ the King Sunday.
Come sing Majesty with us.
Worship at 11:00 AM.
