Bride, Chosen and Revealed (Audio) David Eells 8/7/24 The Glorified Bride Donna Loftus  8/3/24  (David's notes in red) I dreamed that there was a man (acquaintance) in the other room that called me and said look and I looked and there was a miniature city on a table with a golden light shining on it from above (l knew it was new Jerusalem) (Whom John said in Revelation was the Bride.) He said, “look it is the golden city coming alive”.  I then saw a piece of paper that was laying on a desk or table in the room start to flutter and move as well as other things. I started to go up in the air and kept repeating “He is risen”, “He is risen “, “He is risen”!  (Jesus' Bride will have His resurrection life.)     There is No More Time Debbie Fenske 8/4/24 Yesterday I heard the Lord speak, “There is no more time” when I was praying and doing spiritual warfare. I sat waiting and listening for Him to say more. But I didn't hear any more until today when I purposed, with my pen and tablet, to hear what more he had to say on that. Then I heard: My dear ones, you are my pearls, my prized gems. You are the love and desire of my heart. You are my chosen from before the very beginning. You are my choice. I want you as my Bride. And so, I say to you, “There is no more time.” I say again, “ There is no more time.” it is now, or never. Now is the time for groundbreaking overcoming. Let it be witnessed among you, all things being of divine newness. I have cleansed from you those who were seriously lacking, those who were lagging, and those who would not touch the divine. They have been taken out from among you. Your perfecting is almost complete. No more looking back at anything to hinder you in my purpose that I have for each of you. Only look within your hearts for any need of repentance, and repent, and be wholly new. Now is the victory over your enemies, these demon spirits that have been speaking unworthiness to you. But, now is the time to boldly proclaim, unrelentingly, that they are liars. They are against what is divine. This fight goes on, but not the fight within your own mind and heart. That time has ended. There is no more time for that. There is only time for engaging in spiritual warfare, knowing you are the victor in casting Satan and his demons down, and putting them under your feet. Yes! It is time for My desire of the ages to come forth in fighting victory. Know who you are. Speak who you are. Speak to each other who you are. Call out to the enemy who you are. You are my perfected, divine overcomers. I see the lights of my divine ones covering the earth, all joining together in one soul, one mind, and one spirit, with one purpose. I am rising up in all of you. For I Am your strength to engage, and to overcome. No more defeat. Defeat is forbidden. For it is only I in you, and you in Me. Weaknesses in you are defeated. There cannot be defeat, and there is no time for defeat. Now is the time for victory. For I have prepared you. I have cleansed and healed you of so much. You have overcome in your own sufferings, battles, and all constant attacks against you. Now, see and encourage each other as being what I am saying of you, and seeing in each of you. Always encourage one another. This is part of your overcoming. You will continue in your pursuit of only Me. There is no time to pursue any lesser thing. Remember, I have said, “There is no more time.”     Those Culled From the Bride David Eells  8/3/24 Last night I saw that people were being disqualified and removed from the Bride running. I saw the spirit of Jezebel who ruled over her husband were to be removed. I saw those who were judging others by spirits of criticism and pride were to be removed. I saw that those who were cold in their relationship to the body were removed. (This reminded me of those who got closer and closer to the back door and then were gone.) I saw those who were in willful sins are to be removed.     Removed For Willful Disobedience Marie Kelton 7/26/24  (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had asked the Father where a certain backslider from UBM was with him. And then I had an open vision of a beautiful tree with leaves on it on a hill. I then saw a hand come from heaven and shake the tree until there were no leaves on it. (They were not capable to take in the Son for life.) And then snap the tree from the trunk. And pull it up. The roots were still in the ground though. (At this point there was still a possibility to return.) Luke 13:6-9 And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. I wasn't sure if I was seeing clearly. (She was not wanting to make a mistake on something so important.) So the lord gave me another vision of the same tree with a rope being tied around it, being pulled up from the roots this time. I still wasn't sure so the lord gave me a vision of him standing next to me with a little potted plant in his hand and he pulled the plant up from the pot showing the roots. And yet still I wasn't sure if I was seeing clearly. So the Lord gave me another vision of me sitting in my house sitting on my couch, having an open vision of the tree with the rope around the trunk being pulled from the ground with the roots showing.  Jude 1:12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds (No numeric pattern) that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. The Lord then gave me another open vision during the meeting of 3 pieces of silver hitting the floor. I immediately thought of the 30 pieces of silver that Judas threw down before the Pharisees. (This person was a Judas to the Body of Christ.) Matthew 27:3-5 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. (He was removed from among those who John the Baptist said were the Bride. “He that hath the Bride is the bridegroom.”)     Those Who Repent Will Find Grace Marie Kelton  7/19/24 During the meeting I had an open vision of me carrying a black back pack on my back (Representing the weight of mistakes and sins with condemnation and a spirit of heaviness.) I saw the Lord walk up to me and take the back pack off my shoulders and He started to carry it. We were walking on a road. As we were walking the back pack turned white and merged into the Lord. (The Lord took away condemnation for sins and the spirit of heaviness on the cross. When this happened I physically felt lighter in the meeting.) The Lord and I reached a body of water. The black back pack then appeared again on the Lord's back. He then took it off and dropped it into the water. I knew the body of water was the sea of forgetfulness.  Micah 7:19-20 He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.     Beast Changing Human DNA to His Marie Kelton 8/5/24  (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision. Of my spirit man, being translated to a red rocky cliff. There was a warring angel with wings standing beside me. On top of the cliff was a giant red stone that had been carved out. (The stone which the builders rejected and crucified.) A door was in the stone and a keypad was next to the door. (Jesus is the door and the key is faith.)  The Lord appeared, and opened the door which led to an elevator. Then the Lord, the angel, and I went on an elevator down to a lower level in the Earth. When the doors opened,  I saw a science lab. The Lord and I walked through the science lab. To a second door. The Lord opened that door and I saw demons working in the lab. The demons couldn't see the Lord and I.  I knew we were there on a mission to get human DNA that had not been tampered with by the demons. (The demons using the DS scientists are in the process of changing the DNA of mankind to make them their servants. The cure is to have the Lord's DNA through faith in His blood.) The Lord and I walked up to a stand where there was a double helix of human DNA in an oblong container. The Lord took the container and put it in a white satchel bag that was around him. Then we walked through the doors. And translated back to the top of the entrance on the cliff where we started. (Some will be rescued from the beasts DNA either by refusing their shots, chemtrails, or by healing. The rest will be marked by the Beast.)     The Bride is Being Chosen Marie Kelton  8/3/24  (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision. I saw the Lord walking toward me with a nice red pillow (the blood of Jesus) with gold trim and gold tassels hanging from the four corners of the pillow.  It had a tiara on it. The tiara had a sheer white veil on it. I went to go grab the tiara. But the Lord told me that "You do not choose yourself to be in the Bride. I choose who is in the Bride. (Not by my works, but by the Lord's grace will we be in the Bride). Then the Lord, took the tiara and put it on my head. After that I saw, a bigger pillow with a bigger tiara and veil on it like the first one. I knew it was for the corporate Bride body. I turned my head in the vision and saw a really huge tall lady, next to me with blonde hair. (The corporate Bride body.)  I saw the Lord put put the tiara on her head and fix the veil. I then had another vision, of a woman walking down an aisle, with a white dress on and a veil with a long train behind her.  The woman was walking towards a really bright light, I knew there were rows of white chairs next to her on both sides. When she was walking, at first it looked like she was walking on mud or dirt, but then it turned into grass. (Peter said, “All flesh is as grass.”)(The bride has the flesh under her feet).      How to be Chosen David Eells Esther is a prophecy of the Church Age, a prophecy that is hidden (“Esther” in Hebrew means “hidden” or “secret”) and, of course, Esther is the Bride – she's hidden and secret. Also, in the Song of Solomon, the Bride was furiously running after her Beloved. It was more important to her to seek the Lord than it was to the rest of the queens, concubines and virgins. It was rather ho-hum with them, but with the Bride, this was serious business. She was desiring earnestly to come into the presence of the Master.  Looking at the type and shadow in Esther how when the Lord came and called Israel, His Old Testament Bride, to come before Him, they refused, just as Vashti refused Ahasuerus. When we read in Esther chapter 2, we see that a new Bride is to be chosen for the King.  (Est.2:1) After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. (2) Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: (Notice; the Bride did not come out of the people but the fair virgins, who came out of the people of God.)(3) and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them.   I believe that Hegai, the King's chamberlain here, represents the Holy Spirit. He is the “keeper of the women.” It is his job to make sure that these women are beautiful to the King. The Holy Spirit's job is to manifest Jesus Christ in us and that is what is beautiful to the King: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27). So, many fair young virgins were gathered together and a Bride was going to be chosen from among these.  In the Song of Solomon, it is the Bride who is running after her Beloved, while the rest of the queens, concubines and virgins didn't seem to be so excited about this. They even questioned her, What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? (Son.5:9). In other words, “What makes your Jesus any better than our Jesus?” And like what it says here: (Son.6:8) There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. (9) My dove, my undefiled (that's the word for “perfect”), is [but] one; She is the only one of her mother (Meaning she's the only one who has come out of the mother; the rest of these are still a corporate body of the mother.); she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; [Yea,] the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. It's going to be that way because this is also a prophecy of the end-time and, even though there are many virgins who are contending to be in this Bride, not everyone is going to be.   Back in (Est.2:4) And let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. A Bride will be chosen out of virgins of His New Testament people that we call the Church and that's why this is so important. (Est.2:5) There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai…. The name “Mordecai” in Hebrew means “little man” and in Persian it means “little boy,” both of which mean “Man-child.” Mordecai is the Man-child. The Man-child ministry is about to start again and the exact same thing is going to happen, except this time it's a corporate Man-child, a much larger one that covers the earth.   (Est.2:7) And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther…. “Brought up” here means “nourished”; not just fed, but nourished. All the queens and concubines get fed, but not everybody is nourished. (7) And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.  Here are more verses about the Bride: (Psa.45:9) Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. Notice that the king's daughters are not the queen. They are honorable women, but they're not the queen. (10) Hearken, O daughter, consider, and incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house: (11) So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him. Who is the Lord? When we leave father and mother, we need to submit to our Lord, submit to our Husband, Who is the Lord God. The Bride is beautiful to the King because she completely submits to His Lordship since the head of every man is Christ” (1Cor.11:3). “Thy father's houses” represent the apostate denominations, or queens and concubines, of Christianity.  Back in Esther, after her mother and father were dead, Mordecai the Man-child nourished her. Who was following Jesus when John the Baptist said, He that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29)? Who was it was walking with Jesus, learning of Jesus, sitting at His feet? It was the Bride, but where did she come from? She came out of the apostate denominations of Judaism. We also see this in (Rev.14:4) These are they that were not defiled with women (The “women” are the queens, the concubines, the denominations, the groups, the sects.); for they are virgins…. The meaning of this is that they don't received any seed of man. (Rev.14:4) These [are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. Remember, the Shulamite, or “perfect one,” in the Song of Solomon was only interested in following after the Bridegroom. (Rev.14:4) …These were purchased from among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. And they're not defiled with the “women.”  Now turn back to our text in Esther. (Est.2:8) So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai (Who is, the King's chamberlain, representing the Holy Spirit), that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. (9) And the maiden pleased him…. What do we do to please the Holy Spirit? Obviously, we can grieve the Holy Spirit. Scripture speaks about that, but just the opposite is true of those who please the Holy Spirit. We can't be pleasing unto God without having faith. The Bible says, Without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him] (Heb.11:6) and the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit. (Est.2:9) And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him (We need the kindness of the Holy Spirit. We need the favor of the Holy Spirit because we're doing what is pleasing unto Him.); and he speedily gave her her things for purification….   The Bride will have a more glorious garment than the virgin bridesmaids. (Rev.19:8) And it was given unto her (the Bride) that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. This garment is called lampros in Greek, meaning bright, glowing, or brilliant. This bright lamp represents her pure works. On the other hand, those invited to the marriage supper have only a “white” garment. Obviously, what the Lord is looking for is a purified Bride. Esther cooperated and the Holy Spirit gave to her the things that she needed for purification speedily. (Est.2:9) … and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house….   The seven maidens were given to her because she pleased the Lord. I believe that the Lord showed me years ago that this was talking about the seven beams of light in the spectrum. Jesus said, I am the light of the world (Joh.8:12) and a prism breaks down the light into seven different attributes that we call “colors.” Joseph's “coat of many colors” (Genesis 37:3) designated him as a type of the Man-child reflecting Jesus Christ, a garment that he put on. The Bible says, Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom.13:14).  Also, this represents the seven attributes of Christ spoken of by Peter: (2Pe.1:5) Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith…. In the original, there was no comma after “diligence.” It was put there by translators who thought it needed to be there, but there is no comma there. It is “adding on your part all diligence in your faith.” Faith is a gift of God. (5) Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence in your faith, supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge. (6) And in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness;   (7) and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love. (8) For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near (The Greek wording there actually means “near-sighted”; “not seeing things from afar”; not seeing what God has given us from afar.), having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. Have you forgotten that Jesus took away your sins – that you don't have those attributes that are contrary to Christ? You have now been given Christ. (2Co.3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory…. What we're saying is, “Jesus lives in me because the Book says so.” He's given us this free gift of His righteousness.  Getting back to Esther, the first-fruits to enter into the Kingdom is the Man-child, and he is raising up the Bride to enter into the Kingdom. Jesus is being manifested in His first fruits, Man-child, in order to fellowship and mature the Bride and that's what He desires greatly. (Est.2:9) … And he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women. (Praise God!) (10) Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known. (11) And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her. Notice that Mordecai followed her and, actually, he was her leader all the way through the Book of Esther.  (Est.2:12) Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus (to be inspected; to see who was going to be the Bride), after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit,] six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women), (13) then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. This is very important, that “Whatsoever she desired was given her.” Do you have a desire? If you read Song of Solomon, you see something about the difference between the Bride and the virgins. There was a difference in desire. The desire of the Bride was to fellowship with her Lord, her King, her Beloved. Her desire was to constantly run after her Beloved, to appropriate more of Him.   Notice also that it says here very plainly that Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. Everything we need has been supplied to us. (2Pe.1:2) Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; (3) seeing that his divine power hath granted (Everything we need has been given to us. This is what you see in the Spirit, with your eyes exercised to discern good from evil, by the Word of God. This is how you are supposed to see.) unto us all things that pertain unto life (God's life, zoë life) and godliness (He's given us all things that we need for life and godliness, or purification. That was what the virgins were going through, purification, to be ready.), through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue.  It's not just any knowledge that you can get at any church. It's God's knowledge, the knowledge of His Word. It cannot be changed; it will not be changed for the Bride. She is accepting the Word just exactly as it is, not perverting or twisting it for her ego's sake; she's not twisting it for her own doctrine's sake. She's not “adding to, or taking away from,” the Word (Rev 22:18-19).  She's a virgin, so she has not received the seed of men. (4) Whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature (He's already given us what is necessary; He's given us His “promises.”), having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.  See, it's already been done. The only thing we have to do is exercise faith. If we exercise faith, we please the Holy Spirit. If we please the Holy Spirit, He quickly gives us purification, the “seven maidens” which we just read in 2 Peter 1:5-8. The only thing that impresses the Holy Spirit is faith in the true promises of God. That's why He gives us authority. That's why He empowers us. The Holy Spirit comes to us for the purpose of manifesting Christ in us. That's what He's there for. He's our helper, our Paraclete. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. This is what the Bride is doing!  Going on in (Est.2:13) … Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house. (14) In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain (This is a different chamberlain here. This one has charge over the women's house, not the King's house.), who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name. And, of course, Esther was the one who was called by name. (15) Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. We need nothing but what the Holy Spirit will give unto us – the Word of God – and nothing else. It behooves us to really seek after the truth and run after the Word.   The Bible says that we don't even have need for any man to teach us, that we have an anointing from the Holy One: (1Jn.2:27) And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that anyone teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him. However, the Holy One uses men to teach us and to preach and to lead and to guide, but He has to be in it. We have no need for men to do this; we have to make sure that we're receiving from the Lord. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God (Rom.8:14).  So, Esther took advantage of the fact that all she needed came from the Holy Spirit, represented in type by Hegai, the King's chamberlain, she didn't have anything but what was appointed of Him. Esther received the favor of the chamberlain, as we already read, because she pleased him in the works that she was doing, in desiring the right things. (Est.2:15) … And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her. (16) So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. We are now in the seventh year. We've already started the seventh year, or the 7000th year, of His reign. (Est.2:17) And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.  (18) Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release (the word “release” here means “rest”) to the provinces, and gave gifts…. The “rest” that the Lord promises to give unto us, which most Jews did not enter into, is referred to in Hebrews chapters three and four. We enter into this rest by ceasing from our works and believing the promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest…. The Lord is offering this wonderful rest, the rest from your enemies, the rest from your problems, from the curse, etc. It's a rest because the Lord has already provided everything. There's never been a time like that last seven years of the Marriage Feast, when God's going to hand out such great gifts – never in history! He's going to be celebrating with the Bride, just as John the Baptist said: He that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29).

In times of anxiety we can get tempted to give up our freedoms and turn to a strong man, dictator, or king to protect us and, supposedly, make us proud. But this is giving to a person what belongs only to God - our ultimate loyalty and worship. God delivers and brings peace, so we don't need a king. By Pastor Lars Hammar. Christ the King Sunday

Why do genuflect we first arrive at church? We are giving due honor, reverence, respect, submission, obedience, and showing humility to our King, who humbled Himself to be among us by taking on our human nature. Listen to my homily to learn more!

It's tempting to uphold the systems of this world or to put ourselves first. Fr. David Trautman explains how for believers - and eventually for all creation - there is only one King: Christ. If you like what you see, we hope you'll join us in person if you're in the area. Learn more about us: https://linktr.ee/servantsanglican https://www.servantsanglican.org/

In this rerun from 2020, Deacon Charles Beard, from St. Pius X in Tulsa and the Blessed Stanley Rother Catholic Worker, joins us to talk about the Solemnity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. We often imagine this Cosmic Kingship with the implication of his rule over the nations; today we explore the implications of his rule on a personal level.

Christ's Authority and the Church Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Acts 1:9-11 (ESV)“And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.'”Three Biblical spheres of government: Family Church Civil  Ephesians 4:11-12 (NIV)“Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…”Acts 17:7 (ESV)“they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV)“whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

In the first message of this two part series we saw that the welfare of the people are tied to the welfare of their king. Furthermore, all of the earthly kings of Judah point to Jesus who is the King forever and ever triumphant, therefore, the welfare of the true believer is as certain as Jesus is victorious. In this message, Pastor Rick Anderson continues to show what kind of King Christ is and what a blessing it is to have and serve Him.

Bart Byl on 2 Samuel 15:1-18, 23, 30; 16:5-13. Series: Christ in the Old Testament After Saul's death, David comes to the throne of Israel. God makes a series of stunning promises to David, culminating in an oath that someday a greater Son of David will sit on the throne and establish God's reign on earth. But David grows complacent and commits adultery and murder, unleashing ripples of destruction in his life, his family, and his kingdom. When his son Absalom rebels, David and his faithful few flee Jerusalem. The weeping king crosses the Mount of Olives, silently bearing the jeers and curses of Shimei — a haunting picture of the true Son of David, who bears the curse and sin of his people. --- Tbilisi International Christian Fellowship is a Christ-centred family of believers in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Today, we must resist the innate urge for power; for insisting on strength that wins. We must resist the urge that says more is better; that stronger is better; that we claim kindness is better; less is better; and gentleness and healing is better because Christ is our King.Here is my homily for the Feast of Christ the King. I hope you enjoy this and please feel free to share it with others. (Read more…)

Jeremiah 23: 1-6, Luke 23: 33-43

What do you think of when you think of a king? It's probably not the image of a king we see in our Gospel passage today. And yet, we truly have the King of Kings as our King, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Listen to my homily to learn more.

Delivered by Felicia, Odelia and Marsha from Santa Maria Ratu Church, Archdiocese of Jakarta and Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Community in Labuan Bajo, Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia. 2 Samuel 5: 1-3; Rs psalm 122: 1-2.4-5; Colossians 1: 12-20; Luke 23: 35-43 THREE GIFTS FOR CHRIST THE KING The theme for our meditation on this Sunday, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe is: Three Gifts for Christ the King. We end our liturgical year C with a great celebration, which is the solemnity of Christ as our king and the whole universe. A king who is glorified and respected at his very special feast signifying he is in his palace and sits on his throne. Everyone comes from all over the kingdom to worship and give thanks. Visitors do not forget to bring gifts or souvenirs for the king. This is a common practice in royal life in the world. For the Lord Jesus Christ as king, one might ask in this way: where do we go to visit and give our gifts as signs of our honor to Him? For sure, in this world Jesus has no palace and throne. He has no soldiers and officers around him in the palace. Our today's Gospelillustrates that the palace and throne of Jesus are the Golgotha ​​Hill and the cross on which he hangs, in the midst of blasphemies and torments by his enemies. We who are members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ must have the right attitude of faith, so we can come to visit our King without shame, hurt, and anger. On the contrary, we must come to pay our homage with an attitude of joy and gratitude. Why? Because the King Christ is absolutely different from the kings of this world which are the same as King David, who will disappear one day with all their authorities. The King Christ reigns in the world and the hereafter. His palace and throne are in heaven. His kingdom is the kingdom of Light. By looking at the crucified Christ the King, the gifts we should give to Him must be our faith, love and hope. Leaders should be teachers of the faith, however, they actually insulted and cursed Jesus on the cross. We must offer true faith to our King, because in and through Him our faith in God grows and bear fruits. We believe, He suffered greatly under the power of Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. We believe that His throne in the world is the Cross. The soldiers arrogantly insulted Jesus as king. They are like those who have no love. Their entire lives should be dedicated as servants and helpers, however, they really did not have love and respect to Jesus Christ. We must treat Jesus Christ with true love, namely through our self-denials in following the way of His cross. A criminal convicted with Jesus joined in insulting Jesus, and this reflects how sinners and little ones really expect salvation through the loving action of Jesus Christ. We also have that hope, namely, we die with Christ and rise again with Him. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus, our King, strengthen us on the path of Your way of the Cross until we reach our salvation. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of the Father... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/media-la-porta/message

Readings* Psalm 78* Psalm 93* Isaiah 55:1–13* Luke 1:1–25* Large Catechism, I, 263–275CommemorationToday we commemorate David. David was the greatest of the kings of OT Israel, and ruled from about 1010 to 970 BC. Although David's private conduct showed a mixture of good and bad, it was his fierce loyalty to God that defined his life and his reign. Under David, God fulfilled many of the promises to OT Israel, notably uniting Israel into a single nation with its capital at Jerusalem. Of course, God's greatest promise would be fulfilled through the promised King — Christ, our Lord.ReaderCorey J.

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies; with th'angelic hosts proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark! the herald angels sing,"Glory to the newborn King" Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold him come, offspring of the Virgin's womb: veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th'incarnate Deity, pleased with us in flesh to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel. Hark! the herald angels sing,"Glory to the newborn King" Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth.

The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing, which now the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world send back the song Benediction: BILLY DEAN & DAWN CHRISTMAS CONCERT THIS THURDAY @ 7PM Sunday Prayer: Sundays @ 9:30 AM in the Sunshine Room and via Zoom.

The mark of a Christian is not that they claim to be Christian.  The mark of a Christian is the outpouring of the love they have been given from God to others.  In this Christ the King message preached in 2017, we look at Jesus' loving words for those who did acts of lovingkindness as a natural response to the grace they have been given - so natural, in fact, that they never even gave it any thought.  But Jesus also has harsh words for those who have not responded to God's grace in outward love.  It is a message that forces us to ask the question, who is Christ to me? Matthew 25:31-46 Recorded at Hudson UMC on November 26, 2017 (Previously unpublished) S.D.G.

Okay, I admit that the title for this article is a little startling. We are celebrating Christmas, right? Check your calendars. It is still December. Look outside. The liturgy is talking about Christ’s birth and the stores are boasting Christmas specials.But I couldn’t resist not sharing with you an insight into the glory of Christmas that I discovered in a very old book The Mass Through the Year by Aemiliana Lohr.Sharing this is important to me because after reading the reflection, I am finding myself saddened that our Christmas celebrations never stretch us beyond “remembering” and “re-enacting” the first Christmas or drawing some comforting or, less often, a challenging application from the Christmas narrative for our own lives. Many present-moment Christmases disappoint as we recall the memories of Christmases of happier years or sorrow through Christmases that now are marred by anniversaries of losses we still regret.We are not the shepherds who were startled from sleep by choruses of angelic delight eagerly awaking a slumbering world to the unexpected and truly wondrous news that the mighty Savior lay waiting for them in a manger. No. We have read the Gospels. We know Jesus’ story. We’ve heard his parables over and over again. Each Lent and Easter we’ve commemorated his death and resurrection, and in Baptism we’ve died with him and have risen with him….The Church can’t see the child in swaddling clothes laid in a manger without remembering the memorial of his other birth from the tomb. The solemnity of the birth of the King Christ was in view of the day on which his power and rule would be solidified as he rose from the dead and ascended to his place beside his Father in heaven. ...

Zechariah 14:1-9; Psalm 46; Colossians 1:9-20; Luke 23:33-43

A crucified King?  As Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple, his disciples assume that he is speaking of the proximate end of the world. He corrects them by pointing to the long history of suffering and faithfulness that lies ahead of them, and explains that only God can determine the signs and times of the end of history.

This Sunday is the Last Sunday of the Christian Year. It is on this day the church specially declares Jesus is the ruler of the universe. He is a king who rules in grace. Then the first Sunday of Advent declares He is coming again to bring full peace and justice to the universe. (John 18:33–37)

25th Nov 2018 Vigil Mass

Introduction: Having any other king but the God-given King Christ is the heart of sin.  In our day and age we don’t have real kings any more so this notion might fall on deaf ears.  But the portion before us reminds us that there are many things that we serve as kings that are not necessarily flesh and blood.  We are looking at the succession of Solomon to the throne.  David has just died, and David’s closing words to Solomon were about dealing with those subversive elements which were challenges to his reign.  The portion before us records four men who chose their own kingdoms over God’s, their own king instead of God’s.  In this portion we want to focus on the three main characters mentioned who chose an idol of their own hearts over the king they ought to have served.  This portion is not merely a look into some bloody Ancient Near Eastern politics, we see the choices men and women make and what they choose in the place of Christ. First up we want to look at Adonijah who chooses the idol of power and sex over submitting to the king.  Secondly, we want to view Joab’s choices for power in the place of God’s choice, and finally we want to look at Shimei who chooses the prosperity and security of his own house rather than submitting to the king.  Money, sex and power are among the choices these men made.

"Your deeds are your monuments." This precept from Mr. Browne's class in the book Wonder speaks volumes in view Matthew 25's criterion for judgement at the end of time. Not only will people remember the good deeds we have done, but so will our God. In this life, build a monument for the King of the Universe.

Every wonder if you're related to someone famous? The inclusion of the geneology of Jesus is just the beginning to establishing him as someone special.

Jane and I had three children, each of them two years apart with two of them being boys. It goes without saying that at times it was crazy - with some maybe even saying it was a "nut house!" But in trying to balance understanding, love, and control, I would say to Jane, "I don't mind a 'nuthouse,' I just need to be in charge of it!" Jesus Christ is Lord and king! He is in charge...always. He is the King! On this Sunday we welcome Pastor Mike Lange, the Mission Executive of the CNH District as we celebrate that Jesus is King and what this means for us. Mike will share with us what we are doing together in the CNH District as we partner with our King and Savior, Jesus, in His ongoing mission in this world He created and came to save! You really do not want to miss this as we rejoice in Jesus, our King, but also in the wonderful opportunities we have as together we work in service with our King!

The Sounds of Christmas Pt 1 (Silent Night, Holy Night) Speaker: Rev. Patrick Kelley Originally Recorded 6 Dec 2015 verse 1 Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Opening Text Luke 2:1-7 NIV In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. Bethlehem Prophecy Micah 5:2 NIV "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." He is the Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:6 NIV For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The virgin birth Matthew 1:21-23 NIV She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). The virgin birth prophecy Isaiah 7:14 NIV Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. verse 2 Silent night, holy night Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born The Shepherds Luke 2:8-16 NIV And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests." When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. verse 3 Silent night, holy night Son of God, loves pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth He is the light 1 John 1:5 NIV This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. Birth of Christ BEST. MOMENT. EVER verse 4 Silent night, holy night Wondrous (Guiding) star, lend thy light With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King Christ the Savior is born The wise men Matthew 2:1-2 NIV After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."

What do you first think of when you hear the word “king”? Maybe you think of a song like “King of the Road” or a singer like Elvis Presley who is still referred to as “The King.” Or maybe you think of Broadway’s award-winning musical, “The Lion King.” Royal animals also include the king cobra, king mackerel, and king crab. Or perhaps you think of one of those phrases which have slipped into our vocabulary. We speak of “a feast fit for a king,” or “making a king-size mistake” or “sleeping on a king-size bed” or we call “king’s X.” We also speak of someone being a kingmaker. This week’s PBS series by Ken Burns on “The Dust Bowl” referred to the “kingpins” of that era 80 years ago. I have heard of some men being “king of the castle,” but I believe that is only a myth! This Sunday is Christ the King Sunday, the final Sunday of the Christian year. The focus is not patriarchal or hierarchal , but on a King who comes in a manger--the highest of all appears as the lowest of all. He is a spiritual king who reigns over sin and death. The text from John 18:33-37, majestic hymns, and royal liturgy for Sunday will point us to ask and answer, “What Kind of King?” Nobody beats (Christ) the King! What Kind of King?
