Jesus Is... The King

The central message of this sermon is that Jesus Christ is the eternal King, promised to the nation of Israel through the Davidic covenant, and that his kingdom will be restored to them after a temporary transfer to the church. The sermon advances the belief that God's plan for salvation involves a deeper, hidden purpose that depends on the rejection and crucifixion of the King he sent, resulting in the formation of the church as a new people from all nations who receive Jesus as their King by faith. The takeaway is that while the kingdom has been temporarily transferred to the church, it will ultimately be restored to Israel, and in the meantime, the church's job is to be witnesses to Christ, spreading his message of salvation to the ends of the earth until the Kingdom is fully established at his second coming.
