Here is my talk outline from this Sunday. Audio to follow …
The talk bit of church shouldn’t just be intellectual
– calls for response
But what is our response meant to be?
Can become “self help/legalism”
So we need to start with things to know/believe… that should warm our hearts to worship
What we need to know?
-we need to know and make sense of the times – what is happening? What is God doing?
- Around us is a world under judgement (Isaiah 10-23)
- Into this World God has sent the true king (v1-3)
- Jesus will establish his reign (v4-9)
(the ultimate goal = the renewal of creation, the putting of everything right
- He will gather all people to himself (v10-12)
- He will defeat enemies (v13-15)
He will defeat death and exile (v16)
How do we need to respond?
We live for him and speak for him
- His ambassadors
- Living differently in the light of the future
(2 Corinthians 5:20)
- The real difference – my life completely in his hand
- Not looking around for help – like Israel to the nations
- Not trying to patch things up (like the car)
Conclusion/Response
How are you responding to Christ the King?
