What happens when the self keeps fighting for the throne that belongs to Jesus? This message unpacks Paul’s charge in Colossians 2:6-7 to continue following Christ with a life shaped by the cross, not controlled by ego, distraction, or culture. Through Philippians 2, Luke 9:23, and Galatians 2:20, we confront the tension between a throne-oriented life and a cross-oriented life. Jesus did not only die on the cross for salvation; He now reigns as Lord and deserves full surrender. From everyday decisions to enduring opposition without losing focus, this teaching challenges believers to deny self, carry the cross daily, and let Christ remain at the center. The question is simple but weighty: Who is really sitting on the throne of your life?
