Gaining Through Losing | Death of A King | Bryant Golden
In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the final days of Jesus leading up to Easter, exploring the narratives that reveal His identity as not just a healer and forgiver, but as the ultimate King. Join us as we follow Jesus through significant moments, including His interactions with the Pharisees and the healing of a man with a shriveled hand on the Sabbath. We discuss the implications of Jesus' authority over the law and how His actions challenged the religious norms of the time. As we reflect on the story of Lazarus, we uncover the powerful message of Jesus' kingship and the unstoppable nature of God's kingdom. This episode invites listeners to consider the difference between viewing Jesus as a personal Savior and recognizing Him as the King who requires our submission and surrender. Whether you're a long-time follower of Jesus or just exploring faith, this episode encourages you to examine your relationship with Christ and the transformative power of fully embracing Him as King. Tune in for a compelling discussion that challenges cultural Christianity and invites you into a deeper understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. Read along with our chosen scripture: Scripture: Matthew 12:1–3, 5–6, 9–12, 14–15; John 11:45–48, 50, 53, 57; 12:17–19; Luke 9:23–24 The Main Idea: As followers of Jesus, we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. We don't want a King. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual.
