Sunday Morning WorshipThe Death of the King - Matthew 27:1-61Dr. Paul ThompsonDecember 7, 2025Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2025_12_07_1.pdf

ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30, the message is called THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, with Patrick Edwards. Kevin McAlister knew when the Wet Bandits were coming to rob his house, to which he famously says, “When they come back, I'll be ready.” Seems obvious, and yet, in the busyness of life we get so distracted that we often don't give our faith much of a thought. Jesus warns, however, that as the once and future King He will most assuredly return one day to consummate His Kingdom and He intends to find us doing what He instructed us to do.
Imminent Arrival of the King The king is an important person. His arrival at our place can mean something quite different to us depending on our relationship with him. We might fear his arrival if we expect him to punish us. We might welcome his arrival if we expect him to validate us. Either way, we expect his arrival to be a big deal. Advent marks the start of a new Church Year. We begin at the end, watching for King Jesus to return as the conquering King on the Last Day. Because he lived, died and rose again to bring us victory over all of our enemies, we anticipate his imminent arrival not with worry but with joy. Support the showMessages from the King is produced by King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL.To find out more about King of Kings...

Title: The Upside Down KingSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this Sunday sermon from Calvary Monterey, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines Matthew 4:1-11 and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Pastor Nate reveals how Jesus' forty-day testing reversed Israel's forty-year failure, demonstrating what kind of King he would be—one who lives by God's Word, trusts the Father's care, and maintains exclusive loyalty rather than taking shortcuts to glory. Through careful exposition of each temptation, Pastor Nate shows how Jesus fulfilled Israel's story as our representative, teaches us how to endure temptation through Scripture, and models the servant-King leadership that defines his entire ministry. The message offers practical guidance for pursuing satisfaction God's way, developing trust-based relationships with God through remembrance and worship, and rejecting idolatrous crowns to receive the imperishable crown from God. Pastor Nate concludes with a clear gospel invitation, calling listeners to trust in the Upside Down King who conquered sin, Satan, and death through his perfect obedience and sacrificial love.Link to Discussion QuestionsLink to Sermon Notes

People try to absolve themselves of sin, but we can't. It takes a perfect and holy savior to pay for our sin and forgive us so that our relationship with God can be restored.

Title: The Participationist KingSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this sermon from Calvary Monterey, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the profound significance of Jesus' baptism in Matthew 3:13-17. Why would the sinless Son of God submit to a baptism of repentance? Pastor Nate reveals how Christ's baptism was an act of complete identification with humanity—a deliberate choice to participate fully in our story so we could participate in his. Through the Trinitarian authentication at the Jordan River, we discover three transformative realities: we participate in Jesus' life (the "in Christ" union that brings redemption, new creation, and freedom), we participate in the Spirit's anointing (what Pastor Nate calls "dove power"—gentle yet authoritative strength), and we participate in the Father's delight (the eternal love spoken over the Son now extended to us through adoption). This message challenges believers to embrace their identity as beloved children who represent Christ with both truth and tenderness, understanding that salvation is far more than forgiveness—it is union with the Triune God. Part of the series "The Promised King and His Good Kingdom."Link to Discussion QuestionsLink to Sermon Notes

Title: The Joy of Preparing for the KingSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this week's teaching from Calvary Monterey, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the dramatic arrival of John the Baptist in Matthew 3. While John's message to "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" can sound harsh, this sermon uncovers the profound and surprising joy found in preparing our lives for King Jesus. Pastor Nate explains how John's call leads us into the liberating joy of true repentance, the refreshing joy of authenticity before God, and the deep joy of expiation—the complete cleansing from sin that only Jesus can provide. This is a foundational teaching on what it means to clear the way for the King to work in our lives.Link to Discussion QuestionsLink to Sermon Notes

The approach of the cross reveals the true condition of every heart—whether we value Jesus above all or trade Him for something less.

Title: Responding to the Legitimate KingSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: The arrival of a mysterious star and a group of foreign travelers in Jerusalem was more than a celestial event; it was a cosmic confrontation that forced a response. In this sermon, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines the explosive question asked by the Magi—"Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?"—and the three starkly different reactions it provoked from a paranoid ruler, an apathetic religious establishment, and a group of pagan seekers. This teaching from Matthew 2 challenges us to see that the birth of Christ is the arrival of the one legitimate King, demanding that every heart decide how they will respond: with worship, resistance, or indifference.Link to Discussion QuestionsLink to Sermon Notes

Betrayal, Desertion, and the Faithful King
The Jews use political pressure and the threat of a riot to get Pilate to have Jesus crucified. Jesus pays our sin debt on the cross and rises from the dead, proving that He is God and King! Pastor Dan walks us through this critical passage of Scripture.

Welcome to Christ's Church at Butler's Sunday service, September 21st, 2025. This live stream will include a time of praise and worship, communion, and a message from pastor, Dale Rabineau. Contact us at (260)868-6924, or online at CCAB4Him.com. We'd love to connect with you!
Jesus Christ, being truly God and truly man, is without sin. The only way to condemn a righteous man is with an unrighteous trial. The chief priests had violated Deuteronomy 16:18-21 while fulfilling Isaiah 50:6. They perverted justice to condemn Jesus to death. Judas betrayed Jesus. Peter denied Jesus, but Jesus willingly went to the cross to fulfill His divine decree, atoning for the sins of the elect. Pastor Dan walks us through the implications of Mathew 26:47-27:10.
Jesus enters Jerusalem as the humble yet sovereign King, overturning false religion, welcoming the vulnerable, and calling us to surrender to his authority and grace.
Jesus is the only Divine King who can save us in every way.
