Draw Near to Jesus as KING - PS Matt Wyatt

What if the reason so many of us feel like we're living at a fraction of what God promised is because we've welcomed Jesus as Savior — but quietly kept Him at arm's length as King? In this message, we unpack the Model Prayer — "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" — and ask the question: can you sincerely pray that prayer if you haven't yet let the King come? Drawing from the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares in Matthew 13, we look at three powerful truths: 👑 The King You Get to Choose — The Kingdom promises are real. Healing, peace, provision, purpose. But they belong to sons and daughters of the King. Choosing Jesus as King isn't a burden — it's the most liberating decision you'll ever make. 🌱 The Soil of Your Soul — You are responsible for what grows in your heart. The enemy doesn't need your cooperation — just your distraction. What are you cultivating? 🌾 Bend Before You Burn — Ripe wheat bows under the weight of its own fruitfulness. Empty tares stand stiff and proud. Fruitfulness produces humility. Are there places in your life where you've refused to bend? This is a message about surrender — not as defeat, but as the doorway into everything God has already promised you. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 6:10 · Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 · Philippians 2:9-11 · Romans 10:9 · Proverbs 4:23 · James 4:6-7 · Matthew 11:28-30 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a message. 💬 Drop a comment below — which point hit home for you today? 🙏 Share this with someone who needs to hear it. #KingJesus #KingdomOfHeaven #ChristianSermon #Faith #Surrender #WheatAndTares #AriseAndDrawNear #Jesus #Church #BibleTeaching
