Sermons on The King Of The Jews:

The Throne Of David Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 20, 2021

In verse 30 we see David was writing about one whom he knew would come because God had promised that a Messiah would set on his throne.

A. M. Fairbairn said, “The task of reason is to make impossible all religion save the best.” This was the attitude of Peter and Paul the great evangelists of the early church. They were determined to use all the reason and logic at their disposal to persuade men to see that Jesus Christ was the ...read more

Herod - The King Who Couldn't Kill Jesus Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 1, 2009

Lent 6 Mid-week: Herod’s treachery, brutality and paranoia showed itself in the taking of many lives. This kind of evil drives some very difficult questions. These find their answer in Jesus, whose love, suffering and sacrifice gave live to many.

During the mid-week Lenten worship services, we’ve spent our time considering the earthly kings who served as leaders of Israel. It’s been a pretty motley crew – hasn’t it? Life at the top of the food chain during the history of God’s people has not been much different from what we find at the ...read more

Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023

In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 26, 2018

God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...read more

Love Reigns (Easter) Week 1.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 1, 2023

Jesus is the true king over everything. He proved his authority by resurrecting from the dead. Can you imagine the power of God behind Jesus’ resurrection? 
Can you imagine the power of God that brought salvation?

Love Reigns (Easter) Week 1. Matthew 27:32-42.   As Jesus was being crucified, the soldiers mocked him by placing a crown of thorns on his head and placing a sign over his head that read, “King of the Jews.” They did not see him as the true King who rules and reigns. After Jesus’ ...read more

Belonging At The King's Table Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 14, 2022

I love this story! It’s a story of incredible, undeserved kindness. We live in a harsh world, and while there are stories of kindness out there, it’s far too uncommon. The world will show kindness to its own, but we are called to show kindness to anyone and everyone, even our enemies. But why?

1. Mephibosheth Who was Mephiboshet? —Background: II Sam. 4:4 —He was a cripple. Our culture has changed certain words, such as “lame” or “dumb.” Mephibosheth was a cripple, that is, he was lame. —He was Jonathan’s son. As you’ll recall, Jonathan was David’s best friend. He deserved death, ...read more

Our King Jesus Falsely Condemned Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 23, 2018

Jesus received a properly conducted trial by Pilate, yet Jesus still ended up being crucified. This message identifies the cause.

Message Our King Jesus Falsely Condemned. Luke 23:13-25 There is a common perception that the trials of Jesus - one conducted by the Sanhedrin and one conducted by Pilate - were both illegal and made without observation of the rule of law. That is certainly true for the “trial” by the ...read more

Today will you bow your heart once again to Jesus Christ our Messiah King. Be bold as you come before His throne in your time of need. There you will find a compassionate King who is ready to grant the grace and mercy that you need.

Luke was the only Gentile author in the New Testament. He wrote in a way that a non-Jew could understand what had happened in those days. Because of this Luke is for many the easiest gospel to read. This gospel clearly shows us Jesus, a compassionate Savior, King who has come for all mankind, Jews ...read more

Yes, Jesus Is Certainly Lord And King

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 18, 2024

Our solemnity today is that of Christ the King. When we claim that Christ is the King of the Universe, we support that claim with a passage that seems to be quite crazy.

Christ the King Once upon a time in a land not far from here, there was a choice to be made for the leader of the land. A woman was placed in contention for the prime leader of the whole nation. Her platform was not well-defined, but one thing was clear from every word out of her mouth. She had no ...read more

Parable Of The Marriage Feast Of The Kings Son

Contributed by William D. Brown on Jan 12, 2013

This parable about the "kingdom of heaven" was directed to His enemies, to warn them about their impending doom. The King in the Lord's story represents God the Father, who gave a large banquet for His Son, Jesus Christ.

Matt. 22:1-14~ PARABLE OF THE MARRIAGE FEAST OF THE KINGS SON~ 12-29-12 Let me remind us first of all that the gospel of Matthew was given primarily too the Jews, it was written by a Jew, (Matthew) to the Jews, and it tells about a Jew (Jesus) but all of us can glean from Matthews gospel. ...read more
