King of Glory
Notes from Lance Shumake's sermon on Sunday, November 23, 2025.
Sermon text: Psalm 24
He is the King of all creation
We steward His resources faithfully
If you believe in God, you don’t live with an ownership mentality, as if your life and your things belong to you, and you can use them however you want. No, you have to live with a stewardship mentality, this belongs to God, and how does God intend for me to use what he’s made? Everything belongs to God. Human ownership is a delusion.”
—Paul Tripp
He is the King and He is holy
We seek Him and receive His blessing
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
He is the King of glory
We rejoice and we worship our King
“Our Warrior-King, the Lord’s anointed Son, has engaged the forces of evil and destroyed death by his death. Having finished the enemy off on the field of battle, he took a brief repose in a throne room of a tomb before bursting forth in glorious resurrection.”
—J. Josh Smith and Daniel L. Akin, Exalting Jesus in Psalms 1–50
