Podcast appearances and mentions of messiah king

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Matthew 1:18-25Episode Overview:In Matthew 1:18–25 we encounter one of Scripture's most staggering claims: God became man while remaining God. This episode explores the incarnation not as a sentimental Christmas idea but as the jaw-dropping center of the gospel. We trace Matthew's account through the “why” and “who” of Jesus' birth—why the eternal Son had to take on true humanity and full deity to save us from our sins, and who He is as the promised Son of David and the supernaturally conceived Son of God. The result is not merely theological clarity but renewed wonder and worship at the God who entered our world to redeem it.Key Highlights:• The Purpose of the Incarnation: Why Jesus had to be both fully human and fully God in order to save His people from their sins.• Jesus as the True & Better Adam: How Matthew's language echoes Genesis, revealing Jesus as the reboot of humanity and the beginning of new creation.• Son of David, Not of Joseph's Loins: Why the emphasis on Joseph's lineage matters for Jesus' identity as the promised Messiah-King.• The Mystery That Should Stagger Us: Reflections on the incarnation as the supreme Christian mystery that overwhelms the mind and fuels worship.• Compassion in the Womb: How the conception of Christ displays the deep, costly mercy of God fulfilling His ancient promise from Genesis 3:15.• Wonder → Worship: How beholding Christ's incarnation leads us to adore the One who left glory to take on flesh for our redemption.Call to Action:As you listen, take time this week to slow down, reflect, and let the reality of the incarnation sink in. Ask the Lord to rekindle awe in your heart—wonder that leads to worship, humility, and renewed trust. Consider where you've grown familiar with the gospel, and invite God to restore a sense of holy amazement at the One who became flesh to save you.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Advent is the season leading up to Christmas when we celebrate the arrival of the saviour of the world - Jesus! We're into a series digging into aspects of who Jesus that make his arrival so wonderful. In this message James describes the Old testament expectation of the Messiah King, the kind of King Jesus was and is, and what this means for us today!

Isaiah 9:2-7 - For Advent we'll be considering four passages from the Old Testament prophets that anticipated the coming of God's Spirit-anointed Messiah-King, who we know as Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 9, we get a picture of God's light entering the dark, breaking the chains of His people's oppression, and sending a Son to rule in perfect wisdom, strength, and peace. We learn that God doesn't fear the dark, but enters it with us to dispel it. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 1 of our series “Advent in the Prophets”] Questions for reflection: 1) What is the difference between Advent and “the Holiday Season?” 2) How does Advent carry both a realistic and optimistic message? 3) What is God's relationship to darkness? 4) How is God's promised ruler different from the various ones that come and go in our world? 5) How does the cross illustrate the totally unique nature of Jesus's rule and reign?

November 30, 2025 | Zechariah 9:9-10, Matthew 21:1-11 | Messiah King | Born to Be a King | Dale Williams

We wrap up our 'Exile State of Mind' series working through the book of Jeremiah. This week, our final theme is adventing as we look at the prophecies about the coming Messiah King

Joseph could have been king—if the history of the nation of Judah had gone much differently! This week on "Encounter God's Truth" we begin our preparations for the Christmas season with a series on "The Fears and Faith of Joseph." Theologian Dr. John Whitcomb will begin by rehearsing the historical background that led to the intriguing situation that unfolded around Jesus' birth concerning the earthly father who adopted Him. After the sermon, host Wayne Shepherd asks Dr. Whitcomb how he thinks that Joseph would have handled life as a poor, humble carpenter—knowing that he could have been king of Israel. Was he was completely surprised to find that the Messiah King would be born in his home? God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! May it guide us this Advent and Christmas season.

Daily Dose of Hope October 28, 2025 Scripture – John 12:1-19 Prayer: Holy God, We rejoice in your name today. You are almighty and wise, the Alpha and the Omega. You are the one who was, and is, and is to come. We give you all the glory and praise. Help us now, Lord, gather our scattered thoughts and focus on you. In these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers... In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we begin John 12. There is a lot going on this chapter. It begins with Mary anointing Jesus with an expensive perfume, much to Judas' dismay. The other Gospels don't name the woman who anoints Jesus' feet, but John says that it's Mary, sister of Lazarus and Martha. By doing so, Mary is pointing to Jesus' identity as Messiah King, but also as Servant King. She wipes Jesus' feet with her hair, a lowly position, but one that foreshadows Jesus' own actions at the Last Supper when he washes his disciples' feet and demonstrates love through sacrificial, humble service. Judas was all about the money. Remember, he wasn't complaining about the "waste" because he truly wanted to help the poor but because he was skimming from the money bag. He wanted more money for himself. One more quick comment about this. I once had someone tell me that there was no real need to give to the poor because Jesus himself said the poor you will always have with you. I think most of you know that context is everything. Jesus took care of the poor all the time! He was not telling us not to care for the poor in any way, shape, or form. Rather, in this specific instance, he was responding to Judas' superficial complaint. He knew that Judas didn't care about the poor but about his own pockets. In that moment, Mary was caring for Jesus. There would be plenty of time for her to care for the poor in her community and I'm sure she did because she followed Jesus' example. But there is a time and a place for everything. There is a brief discussion, before the Palm Sunday passage, about the need to kill Lazarus. The Pharisees are getting desperate. It isn't enough to simply target Jesus, they also plan to target Lazarus because he is also getting attention for being raised from the dead. These are men of God whose hearts have grown hard. Fear has a tendency to do that. With that, let's move on to Palm Sunday. As a little girl going to Sunday School, I can remember making palm branches and waving them. Jesus' triumphal entry was described kind of like a parade. Think about parades with their marching bands, large balloons, and dancers. They are often about celebration and national pride. But Jesus' entry into Jerusalem this wasn't that kind of parade, especially as the book of John describes it. Basically, we see Jesus being given a royal welcoming. The other Gospels go into even more detail. The people are laying palm branches down for him. They are running ahead in the streets to give him this royal kind of treatment. This is the kind of welcome that the emperor or a high official of the Roman government would have received. Think of it kind of like the red carpet being rolled out---a sign that a very important leader, the new king, has arrived. While the disciples appear to be confused, some of the Jews in the crowd would have known that this a fulfillment of prophecy. John quotes Zechariah 9:9,Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. All the signs point to the fact that this Jesus is the king. By making this announcement, Jesus knows what this means. His death will be soon. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

The sign of Jonah is the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth after three days in the grave! The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate sign and proof that Jesus is the promised Messiah-King. But as Matthew will report, even the ultimate sign of the resurrection of Jesus will be rejected by the scribes and Pharisees.

With Psalm 110, David sees the Son of promise, the Messiah King.Friday • 8/22/2025 •Friday of the Tenth Week After Pentecost (Proper 15) This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 140; Psalm 142; 2 Samuel 19:24–43; Acts 24:24–25:12; Mark 12:35–44 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 10 (“The Second Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 55:6–11; BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 18 (“A Song to the Lamb,” Revelation 4:11; 5:9–10, 13, BCP, p. 93)

In Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable about the kingdom of heaven and he says that, "the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." The point of this parable is that there is nothing more valuable than the kingdom of God, and that, like the man in the parable, we should not allow anything to stand in the way of our entering that kingdom. Psalm 72 has much to say about the kingdom of God and what it will be like, but even more importantly, I think Psalm 72 shows us why the kingdom of God is so valuable and so great. In Psalm 72 we see that The Greatness of God's Kingdom is Found in the Greatness of God's King...The author of Psalm 72 beautifully draws upon many Old Testament promises about the Messiah-King and essentially turns them into a prayer for God to bring this king, and all of his blessings, into the world. So wonderfully, then, does this great prayer find an even greater answer in the true king of God's kingdom, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Psalm 72, we see that the reign of King Jesus will bring Righteousness & Justice, Peace & Prosperity, and most importantly, it will last forever... Psalm 72 has been long loved by the people of God and was the inspiration for the great hymn "Jesus Shall Reign" written by Isaac Watts in 1719.

Although discussed less frequently than Jesus' death and crucifixion, His ascension is a profound and pivotal moment. It concludes one phase of His earthly work while inaugurating His powerful role as the Messiah King. This sermon will explore the ascension, focusing on how Jesus' sacrifice uniquely qualifies Him to ascend to the throne alongside His Father and assume the rule promised to the worthy “Son of Man.” A sermon given by Greg Chandler on July 27, 2025.

Psalm 146 145:21 prepared for these psalms from Psalms 146-150.This psalm “is a general celebration of God's benevolent qualities” Alter, 503. “These five Hallelujah psalms have the characteristic genre of the hymn of descriptive praise” VanGemeren, 846. Psalms 146-150 are psalms of praise. “In these psalms there is no reference to personal need, no petition, little that could be called historical allusion; all is focused on God; all is praise. But there is step-by-step progression in this praise. It begins with the individual (146:1), involves the community (147:1, 12), extends to heaven and earth (148:1, 7). If, however, the whole world is to offer praise for what the Lord has done for Israel (148:13-14) there is need for the praise of a people committed to mission (149) until everything that has breath praises the Lord (150:6)” Motyer, 581. These Psalms bring “the book of Psalms to a conclusion with a crescendo of praise” McCann, 1262. “In this respect as in many others, the Psalms are a miniature of our story as a whole, which will end in unbroken blessing and delight” Kidner, 483. “The LXX and Vulgate attribute Psalm 146 and 147 (which is divided into two psalms (147-148) to Haggai and Zechariah” VanGemeren, 864; Allen, 300.146:1   Praise the LORD, O my soul- 103:1, 22; 104:1, 35. 146:3 Do not trust in princes- 118:8-9; Jer. 17:5-8. Vss. 3-4 emphasizes the negative to stress the importance of putting our trust in God. “Humanism is essentially doomed. To commit oneself wholeheartedly to one's fellows leads to a dead end. Any man or group of men are transitory, and so are their philosophies and panaceas” Laymen's, 700. 146:5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob- Jer. 17:7 “This is the last of twenty-six beatitudes in the Psalter” Miller 445. Psalms 1:1; 2:12; 32:1, 2; 33:12; 34:8; 40:4; 41:1; 65:4; 84:4, 5, 12; 89:15; 94:12; 106:3; 112;1; 119:1, 2; 127:5; 128:1; 137:8, 9; 144:15, 15; 146:5. Miller, 445, groups them in categories. This final beatitude “effectively summarizes all the others (see 1:2; 2:12). 146:6 Who made heaven and earth- 115:15; 124:8; 134:3; Jer. 32:17, 27 Jesus and Psalm 146146:3-4 Jesus can give salvation that earthly rulers cannot give- Acts 4:12146:6 Jesus is the Maker of heaven and earth- John 1:1-3, 10.146:7 Jesus gives food to the hungry- Matt. 14:13-21; 15:32-39; Mark 6:30-44; Mark 8:1-10.146:7 Jesus sets the prisoners free- Luke 4:18-19; Acts 5:17-26; 12:5-12; 16:25-34.146:8 Jesus opens the eyes of the blind- Matt. 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52.146:8 Jesus raises up all who are bowed down- Luke 13:10-17.“Like Father, like Son. For us, these lines may bring to mind the oracle of Isaiah 61 by which Jesus announced His mission, and the further clues to His identity which He sent back to John the Baptist (Luke 4:18f; 7:21f.)” Kidner, 484. Jesus, the Son of God and Messiah (King), helped the vulnerable. He upheld the cause of the oppressed, gave food to the hungry, set the prisoner free, gave sight to the blind and lifted those who were bowed down….Thus, the psalm can be read as a call to praise Jesus” Longman, 470. 146:9 But He thwarts the way of the wicked- “The relation between judgment and salvation in the work of Christ is one of the themes of the gospel: e.g.( John 3:17-19; 5:25-29). The eventual finality of both is a clearer prospect there than in the psalms” Kidner, 484. 

Sunday, 29 June 2025   Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:11   “Amen! I say to you, not he has risen in ‘born of women' greater than John the Baptist, but the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus cited a portion of Malachi 3:1, indicating that John was the first messenger being referred to in that prophecy, being the one sent before the Messiah to prepare His way. Now, still referring to John, He continues with, “Amen! I say to you.”   Jesus is making an emphatic declaration concerning John. It will be a point that those around Him would hear and find amazing and yet satisfying, even if they didn't fully understand what He was speaking of. Having said this, He continues with, “not he has risen in ‘born of women' greater than John the Baptist.”   The term “born of women” is a way of identifying humanity. All humans since the creation of Adam and Eve have been born of a woman. As such, Jesus is referring to this common human nature. It is reminiscent of the words of Job –   “Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.” Job 14:1, 2   The “he has” in Jesus' words and the “Man” in Job's words refer to both men and women. The masculine stands for both in such statements. Therefore, it is not limited to men but is inclusive of all of humanity.   No person born to the stream of humanity is to be considered greater than John. Whether the subject is a king, a conqueror, a prophet, Abraham, Moses, David, or anyone else.   Jesus has already said that John is the subject of the prophecies referring to the one who would come as the precursor to the Messiah. Because he is that person, his role made the purpose of his life on par with or greater than any other. Despite this, Jesus continues, saying, “but the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he.   The term “kingdom of the heavens” refers to a point in the future of the time of Jesus' words. There was a time coming that would divide human history in a way that nothing else had before. However, the timing of the event is not the only factor in determining who is a part of this kingdom. Rather, it is a necessary part of it.   John is living at a point in time when the kingdom being referred to has not yet arrived. Although unstated, it can be inferred that John is not going to live long enough for that kingdom to be ushered in.   As has been seen elsewhere already in Matthew, the idea of the kingdom holds various connotations. However, Jesus is referring at this time to the appointment of the Messiah King. This can be deduced by piecing together various thoughts presented in Scripture. Psalm 2 says –   “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:6   To set a king implies a kingdom. However, Psalm 2 continues with –   “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'” Psalm 2:7   Paul says of Jesus that He is “declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4). The appointment of the King corresponds to the proclamation of the Sonship.   The resurrection provides the forum in which that proclamation is made. Therefore, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the moment at which the times referred to above are divided. From that point, the kingdom of the heavens referred to in this verse is enacted.   Jesus' point is that the privileges associated with those alive after His resurrection are greater than those who came prior to that moment. It is these privileges that allow it to be said in reference to John that “the least in the kingdom of the heavens, he is greater than he.”   Life application: As noted, entrance into the kingdom of the heavens is not merely conditioned on being alive after the resurrection. Rather, that is a necessary condition of it. John died prior to that day, and his life falls under a different dispensation of time, one that only anticipated the coming kingdom.   Although the gospels refer to the kingdom an enormous number of times in comparison to the epistles, it is because of the various meanings of the term. In the epistles, Paul in particular refers to the kingdom, noting that it is something that believers are promised.   Through faith in Jesus, entrance into that kingdom is assured. The meaning is that we are already subjects of that kingdom, even if our state in it is not yet fully realized. Someday, those things promised to His saints will come. May that day be soon –   “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13, 14   Lord God, how good it is to know that we have an eternal hope because of what You have done for us through Jesus Christ. Praises to You forever and ever for what You have done. May the day be soon when we stand in the light of our Savior and rejoice in the fullness of Your goodness. Yes, speed the Day, O God. Amen.  

Isaiah 53 is one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible! This astounding passage prophesizes the death of Christ 700 years before He even lived! This amazing chapter shows how the King would die on behalf of His people so that they (and us) might be part of His eternal kingdom. Join us as we study this key chapter in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    Isaiah 53 is one of the most important and well-known chapters in the entire Old Testament. Prior to this study, what is your familiarity with this chapter and why would you have said it was so important for Christians to know and understand?  2.    The podcast mentioned that background leading up to this chapter included the unfolding promise of the New Covenant that would be made with and through the Servant. This covenant will be a NEW covenant (Is 42 & 49) where God's people will enter a NEW Kingdom (Isaiah 2 & 25) with a NEW King (Isaiah 7, 9, 11, et.al.) as the NEW Israel (Isaiah 49:3). Why is this background vital to understanding the profound depth of Isaiah 53 and the offering of the Suffering Servant King for our sins?  3.    The podcast mentioned that there were three “servants” mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. Who were they? Which servant is being spoken of here in Isaiah 53?  4.    How is the Messiah-Servant-King described in verses 2 and 3? Why would this be a surprise to God's people? Would you have difficulty believing in a Messianic King who looked like this?  5.    What happens to the Messiah-King in verses 5, 7 and 9? How does verses 6 and 8 explain why He would experience such suffering?  6.    According to verse 10, who was the ultimate source of the suffering of the Servant? Why is that important for us to know?  7.    Verse 10 also says that the Suffering Servant would offer Himself as a “guilt offering”. The podcast mentioned that the guilt offering was taught in Levititus where the person paid 1/5 more in restitution for the damages of their sin. Think about our sin before God; we have an infinite debt before God, what is 1/5 of infinity? Why is our debt to God literally impossible to repay? Why did we need an eternal king to pay our eternal debt, plus 1/5, for us?  8.    According to verse 11, how did the Father view the guilt offering of the Suffering Servant? Who will be justified by this offering? What does it even mean to be justified? What does it mean for YOU to be justified?  9.    When did you first look to Jesus as your guilt offering payment to God? How has that realization impacted your relationship with God, the world and His work in your life?  10.    If a person will not trust in Jesus' guilt offering payment for their sins, what is the reality of their relationship with God now and for eternity?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

There's a famous optical illusion drawing that, depending on how a person perceives the image, shows an elderly woman or a young lady with her head turned away from us.You can see it here – and what's fascinating is while one person may see a young lady and another an older person, the image itself is unchanged – only our perception and interpretation of the image.We're going to be continuing our study in the Gospel of Matthew this Sunday, and we'll be reading about some very different reactions and responses to the news that the Messiah King had been born in Israel. It was perceived as either good or bad news, depending on what a person may have felt was at stake in the arrival of a new King.We'll be reading Matthew 2:1-23.The text introduces us to some characters that we'll have to try and get familiar with.We'll meet King Herod (or Herod the Great) who was the Roman puppet ruler over Israel at that time. We'll also meet the Magi, or Wise Men as our modern translations call them. They are apparently court astrologers who travel from the East because they observed astronomical phenomena that they interpreted as the portent of the arrival of an important King.We'll also hear from the religious scribes, the keepers of the Torah. All of these people react to the news of the birth of Messiah – and all of them react differently. What do the Magi state as their intentions? What does Herod say he wants to do compared with what he does? Who is this text portraying in a positive way, and who is negatively represented? What might we infer from that?We're going to pay attention the the tension and conflict that emerges as Jesus comes on the scene and consider what that tells us about the world we live in, as well as the condition of our own hearts.It will be both a challenge and an encouragement! Hope you can join us this Sunday at 10 AM!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Jesus now enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The contrast is significant of the Roman Kings that ride in on a war horse and now the Messiah - King of the Jews comes riding on a donkey, his feet no doubt almost dragging in the dust. Everyone flocks out to see and welcome Him into the city. They expect him to set up an earthly kingdom and conquer the Romans. But he instead goes to the temple and drives out the animals and their sellers that had turned it from a place of prayer into a market. Those who question the nonviolence of Jesus point to this story and the fig tree as examples of his violence. However it is his authority not his violence that caused the people to flee. We also address the diagnosis of the fig tree which reveals his disappointment in the nation of Israel that were found to be barren of the fruit that God wanted it to bare.

This video takes us back to the Upper Room in Jerusalem as Time Travelers on the night the Lord Jesus Christ observed the Passover, or Last Supper, with His disciples. This video is not based upon traditions, but upon Scriptural records and 1st century documents.The focus is upon the four ceremonial cups taken during this Passover meal that represent the events in Egypt when the Lord's delivered His chosen nation from bondage. These cups also represent spiritual deliverance and salvation from the bondage and penalty of sin. While Christians appropriately focus upon the unleavened bread and the 3rd Cup of Passover that represents the Lord's body and His shed blood, they often missed the fact that the Lord did not partake of the 4th Cup that night. By doing this we Ignore or misunderstand what Paul meant when he said that this observance of Lord's Table is to continue "...till He come" (1 Cor. 11:26).Without an understanding of the Passover meal as observed that night, and the significance of the 4th Cup, the Lord's Table (Communion) can not be fully understood.By following the thread that permeated the Lord's teaching through the four cups during the Passover meal that night, we gain a far greater understanding of God's plan for His kingdom.At the meal's end, the Lord left the 4th Cup empty and not taken. Because it looks forward to His 2nd coming and rule as Messiah-King.Most Bible commenters either ignore or unaware that this cup is one of the most significant aspects of the Passover and the Lord's Table. Please join us now as we consider this 4th Cup and it present and future significance for believers. 0:00 Introduction - Go Back in Time9:00 1st Cup - Cup of

Jesus is to be worshiped as the Messiah King.

Jesus is to be worshiped as the Messiah King.

Triumphal Entry (Palm Sunday) - Sunday, 13th April 2025Luke 19:28-44 [KJV]1. The Final trip to Jerusalem. (Luke 19:28-29)2. Jesus needed a colt. (Luke 19:30-34)3. The disciples recognise Him as the Messiah King. (Luke 19:35-38)4. The Pharisees are horrified. (Luke 19:39-40)5. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. (Luke 19:41-44)

Let us keep an eternal perspective, seeking to worship Jesus as He is, not how we want Him to be. Through the scriptures and power of the Spirit, you see Him as the Messiah King over your life and Savior of your soul.

As the Passover season begins, Jesus arrives to “the city of the great king” (Ps 28:2) and prepares to enter into it. Through the fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9 and Psalm 118, it is clear that Jesus is the Messiah King (cf. Matt 21:1–5, 6–9). However, just because His identity is clear to those who know and believe the word of God, does not mean there are not those who scrutinize the evidence with suspicion. The eternally significant questions staring the reader in the face is this… “Who do you say that Jesus is?”

“The Arrival of the King” Mark 11:1-11 April 13, 2025 Pastor Nathan Currey  Sermon Application [file]   ----more---- Mark 11:1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples [2] and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. [3] If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'” [4] And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. [5] And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” [6] And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. [7] And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. [8] And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. [9] And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! [10] Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” [11] And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.      The history of redemption reaches the final climactic march of the Messiah King to Jerusalem. Here we see a faulty coronation for the rightful King.         •  A Significant Setting         •  A Simple ‘Steed'         •  A Confused Crowd         •  The Glory Returns

Luke 20:41-44

The Jews were God's vehicle to bring the Messiah King into the world to redeem people from every people group.

Main Idea: Jesus demonstrates His absolute authority through His teachings and power, serves humanity as the Messiah King, and advances the Kingdom of God through prayer, preaching, and healing. INTRO Good morning, everyone! Today, we gather to explore a figure whose life and teachings have transformed…

When we think of the name of Jesus, what comes to mind today? Pastor Ray Bentley says it's important we remember just who he really is. Jesus is the Messiah King resurrected, and that means he is the long awaited and predicted King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is all powerful. He is our Savior. He is our King.

Psalm 110

Again, the psalm that we're going to be studying, Psalm 149 is a psalm about worship. Fact, many of the last few Psalms dealt just with that subject, worshiping God, praising God and giving thanks to God. And let me simply say that when we look at the word of God, whether it's in the Old Covenant or New Covenant, whether it's the law of Moses, whether it's prophecy, whether it's an epistle or a gospel, we need to honor the Word of God by translating it properly and not taking liberties with the text that we ought not because the word of God is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it's only when we receive the Word of God as the Spirit inspired the Word of God to be then we can see God's order coming into our life, that we can understand His truth and we can respond to it.

Last week we began our exposition of this text from the standpoint of how we all long for the perfect king, and that Jesus Christ is the Messiah King that God has promised to His people. God's gift of this Savior King to us is what we celebrate every Christmas season. So in this second sermon, we explore the identity of His person and the nature of His reign.

In this sermon we see that the birth of Jesus was a historical event divinely orchestrated to fulfill God’s promise of sending the Messiah King to rescue His people.

Psalm 72 Worksheet This is the last Psalm of Book 2 of the Psalms (Psalms 42-72). Only this Psalm and Psalm _________________ are attributed to Solomon. Jacob prophesied in Genesis 49:8-12 that Judah would become the ruling tribe of Israel, and that the Messiah King would come from that tribe. While David was king He was given the Davidic Covenant by Yahweh. God told David that his son Solomon would get to build the Temple, and that a _______________________ Son of David in the family line would be Israel's Messiah King. Some of the words in this Psalm seem to be Solomon's prayer for himself to be a good king like his father David. Other words in this Psalm point to the only ___________________________ King, Jesus the Messiah. Perhaps this was written for Solomon's Kingly coronation. Do you remember what Solomon had prayed for when God came to him in 1 Kings 3 and told him to ask for anything he wanted? ____________________________ to govern God's people. Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of yours. -1 Kings 3:9 Write out their own ____________________ of God's law. Deuteronomy 17:14-20 The word judge in the Old Testament referred to those who administered the Law as rulers. The King was to lead the people to live rightly and to make sure the most vulnerable among them were not done ___________________________. Proverbs 31:1-9 Mountains are often scary places to be, and those that live there are often known for doing their own thing. Solomon prays there will even be Shalom in places not __________________ for shalom. By the way, did you know that peace is in Solomon's Hebrew name? Shelomo wanted to bring Shalom in It is good for kings and those in authority to think about how God has allowed them to be in position not for themselves but to ________________________ (serve) to others. Romans 13:1-7 The __________________________ character of the Messiah's reign V. 5-9 Temporary kings that fear God recognize who the ___________________ King is, and how His reign is eternal, not temporal! Micah 5:1-4 Like beneficial rain, the Lord ____________________________ His subjects with benevolence, with what they need to live. Verses 7-8 definitely go beyond anything Solomon experienced to what the Bible says about the Messiah. Isaiah 9:6-7 Solomon's rule foreshadows a ___________________________ rule to come V. 10ff Verse 10 is Solomon's way of speaking about the greatness of Israel and Israel's King ___________________ north, south, east and west. 2 Chronicles 9:21 records the Tarshish tribute; 1 Kings 10:1 Sheba's contribution. Revelation 21:22-27 The end of verse 14 makes us think of Psalm 116:15, but these words make us think particularly of those who are persecuted and even _________________________ for their faith in God. The things said in verses 16-18 make us think of the millennial rule to come of Jesus Christ. Verses 18-19 fittingly end the Psalm with __________________________. Verse 20 does not mean there are no more Psalms of David after this. But the majority of the Psalms in Book 1 and 2 of the Psalms were by David. Book 1 - 37 of the 41 Psalms by David (90%) Book 2 - 18 of the 31 Psalms by David (58%) Book 3 - 1 of 17 Psalms by David (6%) Book 4 - 1 of 17 Psalms by David (6%) Book 5 - 15 of 44 Psalms by David (34%) It may be as simple as that the remaining Psalms by David are not as much prayer Psalms as praise Psalms. I prefer to think that Solomon is saying we have Books 1 and 2 of the Psalms because of David writing Psalms. We are going to keep adding Psalms now that David has died. That understanding also makes it natural that they added Psalms by David as they ______________ in the later Books of the Psalms.

We introduce Psalm 23, the most popular of Psalms, which despite being short, speaks in poetic beauty to all our needs in life, as well as in facing death, imparting comfort & faith to our souls. It is a declaration of trust in God's goodness, with no complaints or requests – a confident confession of faith. A great thing to do is to declare it boldly over your life. It has a close relationship with Ps 22, which describes the Good Shepherd, who dies for the sheep & rises again, and provides abundant life for His people (John 10). Then Ps 23 develops this theme in detail, describing this risen Shepherd, leading His sheep, who hear His voice and follow Him, into abundant & eternal life, purchased through His death. Through knowing & following Him, our Shepherd leads us into every blessing of the new covenant (Heb 13:20). We can only claim Ps 23 if we have come to Christ through faith in His death & resurrection (Ps 22). We must meet Christ in Ps 22, before we experience Him in Ps 23. It starts with an outstanding claim that "the Lord is my Shepherd" (v1). This describes His personal care for us, His commitment to us, to provide for us, protect us and lead us as our Shepherd. This is the translation of Jehovah Rohi - one of the 8 Covenant Names of God. God as the Shepherd of His people (sheep) is major theme of Scripture. We look at how Ps 23 fits into the wider biblical revelation of God as our Shepherd, and note the special place it has within this revelation. God is the Shepherd of Israel (Gen 49:24, Ps 77:20, 78:52, 79:13, 80:1, 95:7, 100:3). Ps 23 is special because it emphases God is our personal Shepherd, as well as being the Shepherd of His people as a whole. The human leaders of Israel, including David, are also described as shepherds - His under-shepherds (Ps 78:70-71, Isa 63:11). These 2 concepts of divine & human shepherds come together in the God-man Messiah, who would be the good Shepherd of His people. The sinful leaders of Israel had failed to shepherd & feed His people as they should, and so the sheep were scattered (Jer 23:1-3, Ezek 34:1-10). In response, God declared He Himself would be their Shepherd, by personally coming to the earth a Man (the Messiah) to shepherd His people, saving, restoring, protecting and feeding them, leading them into peace, good pasture & abundant life (Jer 23:4-6, Ezek 34:11-16, 23-31). Other prophecies of the God-man Messianic Shepherd are Micah 5:2,4, Isa 40:3,9-11, Zech 13:7. This was fulfilled by Jesus (Matt 2:6, 26:31, Luke 19:10, John 10). Jesus said He was the fulfilment of these prophecies in John 10, where He claimed He was the true Shepherd, who alone entered through the door of the virgin birth (v1-3). He comes to call His people to Himself: "and when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice" (v4). He comes to save us and bring us into abundant and eternal life (v7-10). By claiming He is 'THE Door' into God's Kingdom (v7) and 'THE Good Shepherd' of Ps 23 (v11), He was claiming to be the true Shepherd prophesied in the Old Testament, the Messiah-King, even God manifested in flesh. This was a Divine claim: 'I AM the Good Shepherd' = Jehovah Rohi (Ps 23:1). Good (kalos) does not just mean moral excellence, but that He is excellent in His shepherding, in fulfilment of Ps 23. He repeats this claim in v14 adding: "I know My sheep, and am known by My own", the very feature unique to Ps 23. He demonstrated His selfless love for the sheep by giving His life for them (v11,15, 17-18), adding that He will also take up His life again in resurrection, another claim to Deity (v17,18). Thus, He will save His sheep through His death & resurrection. Now we can see why Ps 23 could only find its full fulfilment in Christ. For example: "Yea, though I walk through the VALLEY of the shadow of DEATH, I will fear no evil; for You are WITH ME” (v4). This only became fully true, when God became one of us, to identify with us (Immanuel: “God with us”) and personally lead us through the valley of death into Heaven's glory, so that we: "will dwell in the House of the Lord forever" (v6). This would not have been possible if God had not become a man to shepherd us to glory. Through taking on Himself a human nature, He went through death & resurrection for us, so that if we trust in Him, through our union with His humanity, we enter through the Door (Himself) into eternal life. Only true believers in Christ are His sheep, who receive the blessings of Ps 23 (v26). He calls them to Himself through the Gospel, and they enter into a personal relationship with Him, and they show their faith by following Him (submitting to His leadership) - v27, and He gives them eternal life & security in His & His Father's hands, in fulfilment of Ps 23:6 (v28-30). He gathers all these sheep into one Flock (the true Church), of both Jews and Gentiles (v16).

Psalm 68 Worksheet Psalm 68 is tied for the tenth longest Psalm in the Psalms (with Psalm 104). It is the _______________ Psalm in Book 2 of the Psalms (only Psalm 69 is longer). Another thing that makes Psalm 68 difficult is that in the original Hebrew ________________ words occur that don't occur anywhere else in the Hebrew Old Testament! The theme that seems to tie Psalm 68 together is praising God for past victories and anticipating future deliverances. Many scholars believe there are references to the ______________________ of the covenant being brought to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6) and then into battle against the Amorites (2 Sam. 11). Names of God: Elohim occurs _______________ times! Lord (Adonai) occurs 6 times. Yah in verse 4 is short for Yahweh; LORD (Yahweh) is in verse 16; The God (Ha'El) occurs twice. The Almighty (El Shaddai) is in verse 14; LORD God (Yahweh Elohim) is in verse 18. GOD the Lord (Yahweh Adonai) is in verse 20; God of our salvation (El Mo-shaw-aw) is in verse 20. < Highlights of the Psalm: No matter how courageous we are we need like David in verses 1-2 to appeal to God to rise up and deal with enemies we are fighting _________________________ we are His people. Remembering past deliverances and appreciating victories to come, verses 3-4 picture a grateful people praising the Lord! Verse 4 makes me think of ________________'s vision in chapter 7 of the Son of Man coming on the clouds! Now when there is war and you lose some soldiers to death, what do you have back on the home front? We also know that there is an epidemic of _______________________ in our day – look at God's beautiful statement in verse 6 – “God sets the solitary in families.” In Israel the tribes took care of their own; churches are called to do the same! Starting in verse 7 David rehearses God's history since the Exodus of ________________________ for their needs, even in the wilderness. God marching through the wilderness may be an illusion to the Ark going out with the people as they moved and defended themselves from attacks. Mount Sinai holds a special role for Israel because there the ___________________ was given, including the Can anyone tell me what italicized words mean in your translation? There is beautiful poetic image given as David makes His point in verses 15-16. He could just say that Mount Zion (Jerusalem) had a special role in God's plan for Israel as it became the home of the Ark . Instead, he pictures Bashan and other “trans-Jordan” mountain peaks being ____________________ of Sinai and Zion for their special roles in God's plans. The Lord is among God's human and angelic warriors (verse 17) now in Zion (Jerusalem) as He was at Sinai, in the holy place that contains the Ark. You can see David anticipating the coming ________________ home for the Ark of the Covenant. Verse 18 makes us think of David receiving tribute from defeated foes in His day. Do you remember how Paul later uses this verse in Ephesians 4:8? No wonder verse 19 says that God loads us with benefits, including salvation (v. 19) and escape from death (v. 20). But God will wound His enemies (v. 21), including those critics from Bashan (v. 22-23). In verses 24-27 David pictures the great day when the Ark finally came to its resting place in Jerusalem amidst much fanfare and praise. Why do you think David mentions the four specific tribes he does in verse 27. In verses 29-32 David anticipates future worship at the Temple in Jerusalem, with hints of Christ's future millennial ________________________ from Jerusalem sprinkled in. Kings will bring presents to you – The Queen of Sheba did that after Solomon finished the Temple, and we are told others did. Verse 32 calls for the Kingdoms of the earth to join in in praising this God of Israel AND the kingdoms of the earth – the Messiah King of Israel will be the King of the world. No wonder that verse 33 brings back the idea of Him _________________________ on the very Heaven of heavens!
