“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” Jesus' scars from the cross were not the only scars our king carries.

Isaiah 53:3

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Our king has arrived. Not born to a queen in a castle but to a virgin in a barn.

Isaiah 7:14

"Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature." We have a king who has had His hands in the dirt from the beginning.

Genesis 2:7

"So the king did not listen to the people..." Israel wanted a king like all the other nations. They got what they wanted. They have a king that refuses to listen to God's commands or the cries of his people. We need a better king.

1 Kings 12

"For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and this heart was not wholly true to the Lord his God..." Solomon's life reminds us; the essence of sin is simple. Our hearts turn towards idols instead of our Lord.

Speaker: Josh Watt
1 Kings 11

"I have indeed built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever." Without the presence of God, the temple is an interesting, historical building. With it, it is the hope for Israel and a foreshadow of the greatest gift we have: the word of God who has dwelt among us.

Speaker: Sandy Mason
1 Kings 8

"In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it." God's temple is no longer an idea. His presence is here to stay.
Speaker: Josh Watt
1 Kings 6

"I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be." How did Solomon become the wisest man to ever live? He asked God for it.
Speaker: Josh Watt
1 Kings 3

Then Joab said, 'Today you have disgraced all your servants who today have saved your life'..." The king has fallen short yet again, and the Lord reminds Him of His purpose, to lead the people of Israel.
Speaker: Aaron Dailey
2 Samuel 19-20

"When King David heard of all these things, he was very angry." David is angry as he watches his family falling apart. But David, like Adam long before him, cannot break out of his own passivity.

2 Samuel 13-18
