What does it truly mean to have a King? In Week 4 of our Timeline message series, Pastor Dave Mudd dives deep into the heart of the Davidic Covenant from 2 Samuel 7. This message, focused on the theme of Allegiance and Kingship, challenges us to ask: Is Jesus merely your Savior, or is He the Lord and King of your life?

Discover how King David’s glorious but broken story ultimately points to the true and better King, Jesus. Learn how we are called to fully detach our worldly allegiance and experience the restoration that comes from having Jesus on the Eternal Throne of our lives. Find out how you can commit to Christian Service by reflecting His grace as you live as a "temporary resident" in this world.

Key Takeaways to Help You Live for the King:

- Understand the Davidic Covenant: Trace the gospel from creation to David, recognizing the eternal promise God made to restore humanity through one of David’s descendants (Jesus).

- Determine Your Allegiance: Examine your heart and actions to ensure your ultimate loyalty is to Jesus, not to worldly desires, goods, or lies, and learn to live as a "foreigner" on mission.

- Embrace Your Need for Grace: Understand that David's failures demonstrate that human perfection cannot fulfill God's promises; your brokenness points you back to your need for the true King’s grace.

- Reflect the True King Through Service: Discover your role as a "shepherd in your generation"—to lead, serve, and worship with a humble heart, reflecting the King's character in your daily life and in unity with the church.

- Move Beyond 'Savior' to 'King': Stop settling for Jesus as only "fire insurance," and invite Him to be the Lord and King over your entire mental, emotional, and relational existence, transforming you completely.
