John 18;24-40 (The Kingship of Christ)

April 7, 2024 • Kendall Lankford • John 18:24–40

In this sermon, we delve into the vital proclamation that 'Christ is King,' a statement of faith that stands at the heart of Christianity, yet has sparked significant controversy in today's societal discourse. Drawing upon the "Christ is King" controversy and its implications for believers, the message explores the guidance of 2 Timothy 2:23 on engaging with controversies, emphasizing the distinction between useless disputes and those vital to our faith. Through the biblical narrative of Jesus' interaction with Pilate in John 18:28-40, we uncover six truths about Christ's kingship, revealing it to be spiritual, truthful, timeless, counter to worldly logic, and transformative. This sermon challenges us to stand firm in our confession of Jesus as King, understanding that while this may provoke opposition, it is essential for advancing His kingdom and embodying the gospel's transformative power in our lives and the world.
