Give Us A King Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on May 20, 2023

Israel makes a demand of Samuel to give the nation a king, just like all the other nations. This demand reveals some faulty theology among the nation, and even among ourselves.

The Lowly King Of Kings Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more
