Celebrating the King of Kings, Jesus.

Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and the followed him were shouting, “Hosanna, to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”  Matthew 21:8-9

What about you?

What can you offer to Him for His use?

What can you do to declare Him King?

1 Chronicles 21:1-17

Sin demands personal responsibility – Admit it

Sin carries consequences -Address It

Sin requires a Personal Savior – Accept it

Perspective is of great importance. 

Things around us in this fallen world can be confusing - things are NOT ok.

We need to lift up our eyes to the one who a.lways fulfills His promises and will accomplish His Plan.

When the challenge before you seems too great to endure - remember that God is faithful to fulfill His promises.

When the world we live in seems out of control - remember God has a redemptive plan that He will accomplish. 

Who in your life today needs to know and trust in the promises and plan God has for their redemption?

1 Chronicles 17:16-27

Be honest with God about your inadequacy

Look for God’s Greatness throughout your day

Submit to God by trusting in His Sovereignty

1 Chronicles 17:1-15; 2 Samuel 7:1-29

It is not a Temple, or a building on a corner with a cross on the roof.

The House where God dwells is in His people - personally and Corporately.

1 Chronicles 13:1-16:43

The Ark of the Covenant must have been amazing to see!

But where is the presence of God today?

What is it like for us to live in the presence of God’s Holiness?

We no longer live under the Old Covenant, but we have a new one.

We find some clarity on this within the pages of the book of Hebrews. 

The Old Covenant - God’s promises to His people (the nation of Israel)

The New Covenant was established through Jesus Christ. 

But what does it mean to live in the presence of God’s Holiness?

Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel. - 1 Chronicles 11:10

Focusing on what made these warriors mighty and the importance of their role in connection to David as his kingdom became established. Then we will look at how we are currently called to be mighty warriors for the King of kings (Jesus).

“Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first and we lose both first and second things.” – C.S. Lewis

What does a spiritual stress test uncover about the condition of your heart?

We don’t need some exercise, a stint or bypass surgery - we need an outright heart transplant!

John 12:1-8 - "Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume....7 “Leave her alone,” Jesus replied. “It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”
