Podcast appearances and mentions of king sunday

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one & only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace & truth.  Use the Advent Guide to help you reflect on this week's message.

1 Samuel 8:4-20 & John 18:33-37      This is Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday of our Liturgical year. This Sunday reminds us that Christ is the King over all creation. The idea of a human king has negative implications. We see this in our Old Testament reading when Israel asks Samuel to appoint a King so they can be like other nations. The Lord tells Samuel to be clear to the people about what it means to serve under an earthly King. We contrast this with King Jesus before Pilate when Pilate interrogates Jesus about Christ being called the King of the Jews. We serve a heavenly King who invites us to serve and love him, rather than demands our unquestioning allegiance.

Christ the King Sunday.

Sermon preached by Father Spencer Ruark at The Table worship gathering on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. Christ the King Sunday.

“The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength. He has established the world; it shall never be moved; your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.” – Psalm 93:1-2 Today is Christ the King Sunday where we focus our worship on the cosmic character of Christ's reign over the world. It is a proclamation to all that everything in creation and culture must submit to Christ. It is an invitation to actively and joyfully submit to His rule. Christ the King is the last Sunday of the season of Pentecost and of the church year. This day completes the Christian journey through the life of Jesus Christ on earth and in heaven which began with the preparation for the birth of Jesus in Advent. King Jesus is victorious over sin, death, and the power of the Devil. By His death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus won the war against evil. On Christ the King Sunday, Christians recognize and worship Christ as King of heaven and earth for all time without challenge and without end. Come let us worship Christ the King!

In this special celebration of Christ the King Sunday, we take a journey through the Church Year, exploring how each season reveals the reign of Christ as King. From his humble incarnation at Christmas to his victorious ascension and promised return, we see how the rhythms of the Church Year draw us closer to our King, who rules with grace and truth. Instead of one longer sermon, this service used shorter devotions, with each devotion focusing on a different season of the Church Year.Pastor Schroeder and Vicar Behm's devotions preached at Faith on November 24, 2024.Intro/Outro Music: “Depth of Field” by David Hilowitz

John 18:33-37Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?” Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.” Pilate asked him, “So you are a king, then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.One of mine this week was to get some long overdue tires replaced on my car before the snow and ice and cold of winter arrives in force. Every day I decide whether I have the time or the discipline or both to get to the gym in the morning before work. I had a seminary professor who packed the same exact thing for lunch every single day of the week so that he had one less thing to think about and decide upon on a daily basis.Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.We've been stewing about some big ones as a country and as a congregation, lately, too. Obviously, the election was all about deciding who would be President – among other things. And at Cross of Grace, we've asked each other to make a decision about how we will support our Building and Outreach Fund. (I know some of you are still thinking about that. Remember, those commitments are set to begin in December. Hint. Hint. Hint.)Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.Part of being alive is to have decisions to make and the nature of a decision is that there's usually some kind of pressure to get it made. And if there's not, time is likely to make your decisions for you. I could have waited a bit longer to get my new tires, but the season's first snow and a road trip to Columbus helped me make that call – before an accident or a blowout made it for me.And far too often – barring some kind of emergency – the only way to be sure you've made the right decision is to make it and then to wait and see.And I can't read this morning's Gospel without wondering about Pilate's decision. Talk about a dilemma! In the moments leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, Pilate had a job to do – and a decision to make – and it's been the source of many questions and much curiosity for generations that always come to fore when this reading shows up on Christ the King Sunday. Pontius Pilate was getting pressure from the people on one side and orders from King Herod on the other. And his time and little chat with Jesus didn't make the decision any easier. “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asks Jesus. “Why do you want to know?” Jesus asks Pilate.“What have you done?” Pilate wonders. “It's nothing you'd understand,” Jesus explains, “I'm not from this world.”“You are a king, though, right?” Pilate insists. “Whatever you say,” Jesus seems to tease him, “you'll know the truth soon enough.” “Do what you've gotta do.”Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.Sometimes the only way to know if you've made the right one is to make it… and to wait… and to see what comes of it. And I get the impression that that's what Pontius Pilate did. He chose – what the people wanted – and he handed Jesus over to be crucified. And, I wonder when hindsight kicked in for Pilate. I wonder when the moment came that he realized what he had been a part of. I wonder … when Pilate looked back on his decision to let Jesus take the fall … did he rationalize or repent or rejoice?What's the hardest decision you've had to make – or that you've made lately? Who to invite to the party? Or who to ask to the dance? To take the job or to quit one? To end a relationship or to begin a new one; to punish a child or to forgive a friend; to try something new or to hold onto something familiar; to confess a sin; to let go of a grudge?What's the hardest decision on your plate right now? …Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.We all have them and if we don't right now, we will soon enough. Some that will impact our life and some that will do nothing more than change our plans for the weekend. But no matter how big or small the decision, I think we could all use a little help – which is something of what Christ the King Sunday is about for me.It's the last Sunday of the Church year. It's our last chance for some holy perspective before we begin another season of Advent and waiting and getting ready for Christmas. It's an invitation to take a last look back before we start looking forward again.Christ the King Sunday – with this strange foray into the crucifixion of Jesus, just before we prepare for his birth, yet again – is about perspective. It's about hindsight. It's about clarity and purpose. And it's about decisions. Whether it's about new tires, exercise, elections, or financial commitments; whether it's about what you'll have for lunch or where you hang your hopes for the future, Christ the King and the promises of Jesus, are about deciding.See, we often look at Pilate as the one who had the decision to make. To crucify Jesus or to set him free. To make King Herod happy … to appease the people … to save his own behind. We can look at Pontius Pilate and be angry with him or feel sorry for him or wonder what would have happened had he decided differently. But really, Christ the King Sunday and the story of Jesus' crucifixion aren't just about Pilate, the governor of Judea; or King Herod the ruler for Rome; or the Jews, the chief priests, and the crowds in Jerusalem. Christ the King Sunday is about you and me. The decision Pilate had to make is as much mine as it is yours – and ours together.Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.It's not about getting into heaven, as too many pretend. It's not about making our time here easier than it might be otherwise, that would be easy, if it were possible. The decision we're called to make today – and every day – isn't about saving Jesus from the crucifixion, it's too late for that. And it's not about coming up with the right answers or earning our salvation – that's already been decided, too, thanks be to God.The decisions we're called to consider on Christ the King Sunday – and every day – are about the difference Jesus makes in our life and about the difference he – and we – can make in the world.Because today's reminder is that Jesus was a different kind of king – one not from or of the broken world where we live. Jesus was a king who decided for love instead of judgment. He was a different kind of king who decided for peace instead of war. He was a different kind of king who decided for hope instead of despair; rags instead of riches; generosity instead of greed; humility instead of pride; thorns instead of jewels. And he was a king who opted to hang on a cross rather than to sit on a throne.Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.Large or small, they're ours to make. Deadlines or not, their time will come. Right or wrong, we'll live with the results. No matter how many or how difficult or how varied the decisions may be that life puts before us, the cross of Christ the King blesses us with a perspective that makes them endurable, that gives them meaning, and that makes our choices different, we pray, by the influence of God's grace. Life with Jesus as our King means to put everything else into perspective. Christ the King reminds us that God chose grace. Christ the King reminds us that God chose forgiveness. Christ the King reminds us that God chose death and resurrection and new life and good news.And Christ the King reminds us that God has chosen each of us – you and me – and that our decisions get to be made with a holy kind of faith and boldness and freedom because of it. In a world that too often decides otherwise, we get to choose grace. We get to choose justice. We get to choose generosity and forgiveness and hope and love and Truth – because God has chosen them all for us first – for good – and forever – in the name of Jesus Christ, our King.Amen

This past Sunday was Christ the King Sunday - a day we are reminded that we follow Jesus and not ideologies.  Christ's kingdom is far different than the world's.  Christ's kingdom is founded on peace, invitation, grace, and mercy.  The world's kingdoms use force, violence, oppression, and imposing on others.  We are called to live into Christ's kingdom in the midst of the world's kingdom.  Pastor Matthew's sermon is based on Jeremiah 36:1-8, 21-23, 27-28, then 31:31-34.

Sermon for Christ the King Sunday, November 24, 2024 - Mark 13:24-37; Isaiah 51:4-6; Revelation 1:4-8

Christ the King Sunday 2024

Today's sermon, by Rev. Sarah Cooper Searight, was offered on Christ the King Sunday, November 24, 2024. The scripture passages for this day were Revelation 14b-8 and John 18:33-37. To view the full Lord's Day service, visit our YouTube channel by searching "Swarthmore Presbyterian Church."

Today is Christ the King Sunday or Reign of Christ Sunday. Pope Pius XI in 1925 began this festival which was around the time of World War I. He felt that the followers of Christ were being lured away by secularism. They were choosing to live in the kingdom of the world and focus on themselves and not the kingdom where God reigned where the focus is on others. Christ the King Sunday was declared to counter nationalism. People at that particular time were getting the 2 kingdoms blurred. Could this be what we are experiencing today? The worldly kingdom, nationalism, is about gaining power and control to benefit only a certain group of people. It is about making one race, gender and sexual orientation superior. Jesus' kingdom is about making sure everyone is taken care of. It is about recognizing that every person is part of God's creation, and are equal. Each person has gifts and abilities that the kingdom needs in order to function. Jesus' kingdom is about loving our neighbor, which is the person living next door to us, across the parking lot, all over our country. Exclusion begins when we become jealous of what others have. It is when we decide someone is not worthy. This is not what Jesus' kingdom looks like. Jesus' kingdom is about realizing that no one is really worthy of anything. This means that everything we have is a gift from God and we are called to care for them. So, this then ties in with Stewardship Sunday which is also today. This Reign of Christ and Stewardship Sunday have appeared at a time in our country and the life of our church to remind us of what Jesus' kingdom looks like. I believe that Jesus is looking for grateful followers who are willing to let him reign.   But his kind of reigning is not about just saying yes Jesus, but actually doing what Jesus commands us to do. Jesus reminds us that we are commanded to love God with all of our hearts, souls and minds and our neighbor as ourself. We know this, so why do we have to keep being reminded. Because just as in the time of Pope Pious we are being lured by secularism. Our country is taking a direction that could be destructive, and I know not everyone sees it that way. It seems that our country is headed away from Christ reigning. Our lessons for today instruct us about the difference in the 2 kingdoms. They describe for us what power and control look like. What we learn challenges us to look at where our allegiance lies and how to be followers in this time of the blurred kingdoms. In our Gospel lesson we have Jesus being interrogated by Pilate. This is the trial narrative where Pilate confronts Jesus about being the king of the Jews. The Jewish leaders had accused Jesus of treason. Thus, they handed Jesus over to the Roman authorities. Pilate represented the Roman authorities and not the Jewish people. He was kind of in the middle of it. He was being asked by the Jewish leaders to declare Jesus guilty of saying he was the messiah, and they didn't believe it. The church and the state were working together. They like to keep each other happy. Jesus is no different here than any other time that he was confronted. He did not answer anything directly or sometimes not at all. Pilate's first question to Jesus was “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus turned it back on Pilate, “Are you asking this on your own account or did others tell you this?”  Pilate responds. “Well, Do I look like a Jew? Your people have handed you over to me. Tell me, what have you done?” Jesus responds, “I'm not really from here. My kingdom doesn't exist of what you see around you. If it did, my followers would fight so that I wouldn't be handed over to the Jews. But I'm not that kind of king, not the world's kind of king.” Then Pilate said, “So, are you a king or not?” Jesus answered, “You tell me. Because I am King, I was born and entered the world so that I could witness to the truth. Everyone who cares for truth, who has any feeling for the truth, recognizes my voice.” In the gospel of John, the truth is not just a piece of information, it is the person, Jesus Christ. Jesus is asking us to listen for his voice, which is the truth. The more the kingdoms may seem blurred, the keener our hearing needs to be. Then once we believe we hear the truth, Jesus, what will be called to do with it? First of all, let's talk about ways to hear the truth. I believe we are called to listen and observe how power and control are carried out. Is it used to control people or empower all people?  Nationalism is about singling out one group to be in power and control. Christians are involved with this also. We are given the ability to see that this is not what Jesus' kingdom is about. So, when we see this going on in our country, we will be called to stand up for the truth, Jesus. Nationalism is about putting people in their places, defining for them what their place is in our country. Christians are saying that this is spelled out in the Bible, and this has been written into Project 2025. A number of the authors will be on staff in our new government. We have come here today to offer our allegiance to Jesus, to remember that everything that we have is a gift from God, and be part of Jesus' kingdom. On this reign of Christ Sunday, we are being reminded that there are two very different kingdoms. I have said earlier that the kingdoms may be blurred, but I wonder if when we work on hearing and observing the truth, Jesus, that the difference will become clearer and clearer. Faith Lutheran Church has taken a stand on who we believe to be part of Jesus' kingdom, Jesus accepts all and we are all equal. We will all be challenged to listen and observe as things change, whether it looks like Jesus' kingdom or not. If it doesn't is when we will be challenged to clarify as to how we see and hear the truth of what Jesus' kingdom is to look like. What will Faith Lutheran Church do if what is being done does not reflect what Jesus' kingdom is to be like? Let us pray, We gather on this day to recognize you, Jesus, as our king and remember our role as grateful stewards. We often find that difficult to live out in our lives. Give us ears to hear and eyes to see you, the truth. Give is your wisdom to know how to stand up for you when your kingdom and the worldly kingdom get blurred, or when we see stark differences. In Jesus Name, Amen
