Sunday Morning Service - 11/23/25

This sermon, delivered on Christ the King Sunday, challenges believers to recognize Jesus as the true King of the universe and to surrender their lives fully to His authority. The pastor addresses the modern tendency to place hope in human leaders, success, and worldly achievements rather than in Christ. He emphasizes that the world's problems are fundamentally heart problems that can only be solved through transformation by Jesus. The sermon reframes salvation not merely as a "get-out-of-hell-free card" but as a comprehensive transformation of the whole person into Christ-likeness. Drawing on the title "Son of Man" from Daniel 7, the pastor reveals that Jesus claimed divine authority and kingship throughout His ministry. The message calls listeners to move beyond intellectual belief to pistis, loyalty, allegiance, and faithful obedience to Christ. True peace, joy, and love come not from worldly success but from surrendering to Jesus and allowing Him to transform our hearts. The sermon concludes with communion, reminding believers that Christ's enthronement happened on the cross, where He demonstrated self-giving love.
