Grace and peace to you my sisters and brothers in Christ,

As we end the Christian year this weekend and we begin another, we remember Christ the King. The King—not on a throne, but on a cross. We worship and remember that Jesus reveals a kingship that is not defined by earthly power but by sacrificial love. Even as He suffers, He opens paradise to a repentant criminal. This is our King: The One who reigns by forgiving, rescuing, and remembering His people.

I look forward to reflecting together on the comfort that Christ's crown of thorns brings—as He meets us in our brokenness, covers us in His mercy, and promises that through His victory, we will be with Him in paradise.

See you in worship!

Blessings,
