Podcasts about humble king

Matthew brings us the first in our advent talk series King Sized, talking about the Humble King and what having a king who is humble means for our lives.

God sees people the world overlooks and meets us exactly where we are. From unnoticed shepherds to a lowly stable, the Christmas story reveals a Savior who meets us in the unexpected. Jesus could have come as a powerful ruler, yet He to enter the world as a baby. Listen to this message to learn why!

In this Advent message, Pastor Andrey Gorban invites us to look again at the arrival of our King and to see not just thatHe came, but how He came.Drawing from Zechariah 9:9, this sermon contrasts the kings the world expects with the King God promised. While earthly rulers arrive with power, spectacle, and conquest, God's King comes righteous and bringing salvation—humble, gentle, and riding on a donkey. This is a King who does not intimidate or dominate, but who gives Himself for His people.From the quiet fulfillment of God's long-standing promises to Jesus' triumphal entry and march toward the cross, this message calls us to behold the beauty of God's plan done God's way. If your faith feels stale, your joy muted, or the Christmas season has become routine, this sermon invites you to fix your eyes once more on Jesus—the humble and lowly King, our Savior, and our Emmanuel, God with us.

Main Idea. God's promised King enters the world clothed in humility. Question. Why does God choose humility as the pathway for His King, rather than splendor? 1. Because his promises are rooted in humble means (1–5) Two Humble Means 1. Bethlehem. “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days… He shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord… and he shall be their peace.” (Micah 5:2–5) 2. The Davidic Line. “When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you… and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.” (2 Sam. 7:12–13) 2. Because he is humble (6–7) Responses. 1. Rest in the Humble Heart of Your Savior. 2. Imitate His Humility in Everyday Life. 3. Trust God to Exalt You in His Time. “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you.” (1 Pet 5:6).

We all long for a leader who won't let us down. History is full of people who started strong but ultimately fell short. Even Israel's greatest kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—couldn't give people what they most needed. Their lives were shadows pointing to something more. At Christmas, we celebrate that the true King has come. It's more than a sentimental story—it's the arrival of God's promised King. God gave us not just a baby in a manger, but a great King who will reign forever. This Christmas season, we'll celebrate the long-anticipated King who doesn't rise and fall but reigns forever, the King our souls long for. Let's prepare our hearts to welcome Him.

Christmas is more than lights, gifts, and celebration—it's about a Savior who stooped down in love. The beauty of this season is found in Jesus, who laid aside heaven's glory and took on the form of a servant, humbling Himself to become a man so that we could find true hope. Join us as Pastor Brandon begins our Christmas series, Humble King, where we celebrate not just the birth of a baby, but the example of Jesus—the One who chose the lowest place to rescue the lowest of lows.

Join Pastor Chris DeArman from CityRise Church as he explores the profound meaning behind Jesus's humble arrival, challenging the idea that God keeps His distance. This sermon focuses on the core Big Idea of Christmas: God does not do long distance relationships.

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself…

In our new Advent series, Humble King, we explore the ancient hymn of Philippians 2. Jesus' kingship is revealed not through power and prestige but through self-giving love. Humility is not weakness but the very shape of God's strength. We look honestly at the pain of waiting—the in-between tension of the “now and not yet”—and how Jesus' own descent and exaltation anchor us in hope.

Windows into Faith: The Humble King - Rev. Kevin JohnsonChrist the King Sunday- The Humble KingOn this Christ the Kingdom Sunday we will consider the kind of Kingship Jesus embraced, for Jesus was a King who rode into his city on a donkey, without armed guards and shows of political might, but with joy, love, and a heart for God's people. What wisdom can we glean from our sanctuary window depicting the triumphal entry, and how might we live as faithful citizens of Christ's Kingdom today?Windows Into FaithWe are surrounded by the stories of our faith every Sunday. Are they just pretty colors of glass? Or, could these stories of faith be here to shape us as followers of Jesus and his community together? Join us for this series as we explore the stories of the saints of old and consider how we may live as saints of God today.Colossians 1:11-20 and Luke 19:29-40

- In this message we explore how humility before God brings transformation and mercy. Using the example of the King of Nineveh in Jonah 3, we look at the contrasts between worldly power and pride with the humility of Christ—the ultimate King who gave up His glory to serve and save.

Matthew 11:29-30 | Joshua Cottrell

If we are going to choose any way to walk, let's walk in the humble steps of Jesus Christ. In Philippians 2, Paul reminds us that being united with Christ leads to unity with one another. We are called to: Be united with Christ (v.1) Be of one mind and spirit (v.2) Look to the interests of others, not ourselves (v.4).

After Jesus prays for his disciples, the narrative moves forward to his betrayal and arrest where we see our humble king. He is a king in full majesty and power whose Kingdom is not of this world. So as he stands before all the authorities, Pilate, the high priest, and those who would arrest him, he is in complete control. And at the same time, he is the humble king, who was obedient even unto death so that we may have life. Therefore, we ought to trust and obey our humble king.

Despite the cryptic inferences in this story as in all of Rebbe Nachman's tales, we can understand on a personal level. This tale maps our individual journey of searching and finding Hashem.

This is a re-release of Episode 36 of Season 3, which is a Palm Sunday reflection on Matthew 21:6-14. Jesus rides into Jerusalem to the praise of the people expecting a triumphant political ruler. But Jesus is seated on a donkey, not a warhorse. He goes to the temple, not Herod's palace. He drives out the money changers, not the Romans. But in so doing, He makes a way for peace amid violence; healing amid injustice.Connect with me at Mick@MickRMurray.com // feel free to share, subscribe, rate, and/or commentBackground tracks (licensed via Musicbed): - Blossom by Roary- Borealis by Jo Blankenburg- By Design (reprise) by Phillip Cuccias

Sermon Summary:On Palm Sunday, we explored the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem from John 12:12-19. This pivotal event, recorded in all four gospels, reveals profound truths about our hope and expectations. As Jesus entered Jerusalem during Passover, the city was bursting with Jews who had traveled there to celebrate. The crowds welcomed him with palm branches (symbols of national victory) and shouts of "Hosanna!" (meaning "save us now"), revealing their hope for a nationalist Messiah who would overthrow Roman rule.However, Jesus intentionally chose to ride a young donkey, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy about a humble king who would bring peace to all nations. This deliberate choice contradicted the crowd's nationalistic expectations. While they wanted a warrior-king like David, Jesus was demonstrating that his kingdom transcended national boundaries.We highlighted two key lessons from this passage. First, nationalism doesn't belong in the church. When we confuse patriotism with our faith or believe our hope comes from human leaders rather than Christ, we risk missing God's work among us. Our Savior doesn't reside in government buildings but is often found among the marginalized.Second, we must be vigilant not to miss God's presence right before us. The religious leaders of Jesus' day knew Scripture intimately yet failed to recognize God incarnate walking among them. In Luke's account, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem because they "did not recognize the time of God's coming."As we approach Easter, we should examine where we're placing our hope—in finances, family, nation, or the living God? We're challenged to tangibly meet a neighbor's needs this week, following Jesus' example of service and remaining attentive to how God is moving in our midst today.

Matthew 21:1-11

“Hosanna in the highest!”Each year, we celebrate Palm Sunday as a way to remember when Jesus triumphantly enters into Jerusalem. Using this story, we'll take a deeper look at the concept of humility. Together as a community, we may discover where God shows himself to be humble and where He is calling us to “take on humility” in our own lives. Join us at 4:00pm as we celebrate our humble king and begin Holy Week.

This week, Pastor Jeremy continues our Easter series, Resurrection Road, with this sermon from Romans 6. He shares how we must walk in grace and humility because walking in sin is not an option for the child of God.

From the series "According To Luke"

In Mark 11:1-11, Jesus finally arrives into Jerusalem, the place that he has laid out as where he will spend his final days. By riding into town on a donkey, he is not only fulfilling the prophecy laid out to us in Zechariah 9:9, but also is subverting expectations of what it means to be a king. This approach, while completely countercultural then and now, invites Jesus' followers to walk in similarly humble footsteps. Jesus is building with us a KIN-dom relationship -- where we become partners alongside him and continue the work that Jesus started. Through this passage, he demonstrates to us what can happen when we allow God to move, when we involve others in our lives, and when we admit that maybe we don't know best. Jesus' humility is an invitation to us to embrace the gifts we have not for our own glory or satisfaction, but for the good of others.  By Rebekah Covington
