King of Kings
“I am one in whom Christ delights and dwells. I live in the strong and unshakeable Kingdom of God. The Kingdom is not in trouble, and neither am I.”
- James Bryan Smith
“Today we want the Kingdom without the King.”
- Mark Sayers
In the Old Testament (1 Samuel 8), the Israelites decided they'd had enough of God leading them and instead asked God for a king. He listened and gave them what they asked for. But time and time again, the kings disobeyed God's good guidance and the kingdoms fell. Even the best king wasn't enough.
Today, there are a million things asking to be our king; a million things vying for our attention, begging to be the foundation of our lives. And like the Israelites, we often give in, trying to create our own kingdoms — kingdoms of success, security, power, control, fame, wealth, prestige.
But our kingdoms fall when our King is not in His rightful place: at the very center of our lives. Our kingdom is nothing without King Jesus — the King of Kings, the One we pledge allegiance to above all else. When King Jesus is the One we follow, the upside-down Kingdom we reside in is unshakeable.
We can only serve one King. Consider the King you're serving, and the kingdom you're helping to build.

About this Plan
Shepherd, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Emmanuel, Light of the World… Jesus is called all these names, but what do they really mean? Each name shows us a different aspect of the heart of Jesus, and how it all leads back to the love He has for us. Come be encouraged this Christmas season as together we draw closer to who Jesus is.
