Pastor Jim concludes the True King series by walking through 2 Kings 24 and 25, where the southern kingdom of Judah falls and the people are exiled to Babylon. Jim explains that exile is more than the loss of land or a destroyed temple; it is life without God's presence and glory. Despite the devastation, he points to the glimmer of hope left in the story and connects it to the arrival of Jesus, the better temple, the better King, and the better Israel. Through the lens of exile, Jim reminds listeners that Jesus took on the true exile of sin and death, offering restored identity, renewed presence, and unshakable hope to all who turn their face to God. The message calls us to examine the idols that rename and mislead us, and to receive the forgiveness and life Jesus secured through his death, resurrection, and the indwelling of the Spirit.

Rulers oppose God in vain. God has installed his king.
Rulers oppose God in vain. God has installed his king.
We live in a world where “Absaloms” rise daily—where truth is traded for influence, and loyalty is seduced by charm. We live as strangers in a land shaped by self-expression, not self-denial. In such a world, faithfulness can feel like foolishness. But it's not. Sometimes faith doesn't look like standing tall—it looks like walking barefoot through tears. In this sermon pastor Joel reminds us that crisis proves and strengthens covenant faithfulness to God's true King. In David's darkest hour, God showed up as Redeemer, Savior, and Friend. In Jesus, those roles aren't just revealed—they're fulfilled. And in your crisis, they are real. The same God who walked with David and wept with Jesus walks with you now.
In 2 Kings 11 and 12, Pastor Jim unpacks the story of young Joash, who is hidden, preserved, and crowned as Judah's rightful king in the midst of political upheaval and widespread idolatry. He shows how God works through unlikely people to protect His promise and draws a clear connection between Joash's flawed reign and Jesus as the greater and perfect King. Jim challenges us to examine the false kings we elevate in our lives and calls us to re-center our worship on Jesus, the true King who brings lasting peace and Shalom.
Are we worshipping the true King, or seeking a worldly power version? In Mark 15:1–20, we'll consider what difference Jesus' rejection should make in our lives.

A new MP3 sermon from Trinity Bible Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Trusting the True King Subtitle: Genesis Series Speaker: Dr. Greg Mazak Broadcaster: Trinity Bible Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 6/8/2025 Bible: Genesis 14 Length: 55 min.
This Sunday, we'll see King David foolishly believe sin's lies after a long season of living under God's rule and reign. After sinning greatly in taking what isn't his, David uses all of his power and might, not to run to God, but to attempt to hide what he's done. In doing so, sin's deceit and destruction become apparent... as well as the reality that only God's True King can cover sin.2 Samuel 11

Jess explores the glory of God from Isaiah 6 and what our response might be
➡️ The Parable of the TenantsJesus tells a parable about a vineyard owner who leased his property to tenants. At harvest time, he sent servants to collect his portion of the fruit, but the tenants beat and killed them. Finally, he sent his son, but they killed him too, believing they could take the inheritance.Jesus asked, "What will the owner do? He will destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others." Then he quoted Psalm 118: "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone."The religious leaders knew Jesus was speaking about them, and they were trying to arrest him. But what's truly striking is what God was seeking to collect — not your good works or religious achievements, but your sins. ➡️ What About Taxes?Then, Pharisees and Herodians (normally enemies) joined forces to trap Jesus with a question about taxes: "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar?" Jesus asked for a coin and said, "Whose image is on this? Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."This goes beyond just paying taxes. Caesar claimed divinity, putting his image on coins to assert ownership. Roman citizens idolized him.Jesus established proper boundaries: earthly rulers have legitimate but limited authority, while God's authority is ultimate.We make the same mistake today, turning political leaders into idols, believing our safety depends on "our side" winning. We forget all rulers are temporary, and God works His saving purpose even through imperfect governments — remember, Jesus "suffered under Pontius Pilate."Whether you have a good government or bad, pray for it — but we never want to confuse which kingdom ultimately matters.Contributor Rev. Harrison Goodman is the Higher Things Executive Director of Missions and Theology.
In this episode, we focus on Luke 4:31-44, which follows Jesus to Capernaum where He casts out demons, heals people of their physical ailments, and preaches in Judea. Together we discuss the expansiveness of the Kingdom of God and the call of obedience to the One, True King; an obedience that is worked out in a transformational and synergistic cycle of: confession, conviction, and action.

There are many things that we see happening on Palm Sunday. Amidst the fray, we clearly see a battle. It is a battle between those who set themselves up against the Holy One. But will he just take it? And for how long? Take refuge him before he laughs in heaven and terrifies you in his wrath. On this Palm Sunday, we call pray a prayer for the One true King. We seek to serve him and lay down our palms of praise before him. A sermon on Psalm 2.

Did you know a single prideful decision by Solomon's son permanently divided God's people into two kingdoms? When faced with his first leadership test, Rehoboam rejected the wisdom of experienced elders and embraced his friends' harsh counsel instead. His story stands as a powerful warning about the consequences of pride and reminds us that who we listen to shapes who we become. Listen now as we explore how Rehoboam's failure points us to our need for Jesus, the humble King who perfectly models the discernment and God-dependence we all require.
Pastor Jim examines the leadership crisis in 1 Kings 12, exploring Rehoboam's unwise decisions that divided the kingdom. He highlights the tension between human leadership and God's sovereignty, emphasizing the call to follow the true servant King, Jesus. In a world of turmoil, Jim encourages listeners to seek wisdom, remain faithful to God's principles, and find rest in Christ, the King who serves.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright talk about the turbulence of the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
