Who's Your King
I promise I'll not be lengthy and I think I've known for that and not going too long, but I promise you I'll be kind with your time today. If I had to put a title on this message, it's who's your king? Who is your king? We'll get into this in just a moment. But this is a message I preach to myself more than any other message. If you're a preacher, you know that first your message has come from your walk with God and they come from what God is dealing with in your heart and in your life. And this is something God has been scraping my heart sore over the last few weeks and a pastor asked me to preach this morning knowing that he would be up in Michigan and so I'm excited to preach this. This is the message I know that God would want for the morning. And so let's re-look at this verse that Brother Williams read for us in Isaiah chapter six and verse one where we see two kings in this verse in the year that king Uzziah died. That's the first king, the man king. I saw who's that I that's talking about Isaiah, Isaiah saw also the Lord. That's the second king, the king of kings, the Lord of Lords. Sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple. Isaiah was dealing with two different kings in his life, the man king Uzziah and the king of kings. One had to die before he saw the real true king. I love when scripture agrees with scripture. Have you ever maybe read a series of books or watched a TV series and they have continuity errors, right? And first off in this episode or this book, this lady has three kids, you get over to the next thing and now she's only got one kid. You know, there's continuity errors. You never have to worry about that with the word of God. It always agrees and I love correlating scripture with scripture and diving deep into scripture to say, hey, Uzziah was mentioned. Where else was he mentioned? Go to second Chronicles chapter 26. Second Chronicles chapter 26, it talks about this king that Isaiah was serving. And I did some research on who is this king Uzziah? What's his family tree like? I found out that he is the great, great, great, great, great, six greats grandson of King David. He's the king over Judah. And in second Chronicles chapter 26 and verse 1, it says, then all the people of Judah took Uzziah who was 16 years old and made him king. Are there any 16 year olds in the room this morning? Any 16 year olds, raise your hand, uh-oh, Kaylee, oh my, can we imagine Kaylee Jones over here? And all of us getting together and saying Kaylee is going to be our king and whatever she says goes, help us, please, imagine putting a 16 year old in charge, the rules that they've come up with, let's play Fortnite all night long, eat whatever you want, milkshakes are mandatory for breakfast, all those good things. And so here's King Uzziah, 16 years old. They made him king in the room of his father, Emma Ziah. He built Eloth and restored it to Judah after that the king slept with his father. 16 years old was Uzziah when he began to reign. And he's, let me tell you this, he started off doing right for the Lord. He started off with his heart perfect towards God. The Bible says in verse four and he did that which was right in the side of the Lord according to all that his father, Emma Ziah did. Verse five and he sought God in the days of Zechariah who had understanding in the visions of God and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. Boy, isn't that even a truth within a truth that as long as you and I seek God, he will make us to prosper. Uzziah started off right. You know, I look at Uzziah and I say he's probably going to be the next king David. A man after God's own heart, Uzziah started off strong and for the Lord. You know, I was reading through this chapter verses six through seven and he went forth in war against the Philistines and break down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabna and the wall of Ashtav and built cities about Ashtav and among the Philistines and God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabians that dwelt and grabal and the magnum's. God allowed him to defeat his enemies. God made him strong as long as he sought the Lord. I was reading in verse eight and the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt where he strengthened himself exceedingly that even his enemies liked him, the people that despised the children of Israel were giving him gifts. And the Bible says, "When a man's ways please the Lord even his enemies shall be at peace with him." This man was serving God. Verses nine through ten and the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah, excuse me, verse nine, more over Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate and at the valley gate and at the turning of the wall and fortified them. Also he built towers in the desert and dig many wells where he had much cattle both in the low country and in the plains, husbands and also in vine dressers and the mountains and in Carmel for he loved husbandry. I wrote down, he was very intelligent. God gave him wisdom. Look at verse 15, just real quickly it says that he made in Jerusalem engines. And he car mechanics and here people love to work on cars and he made in Jerusalem engines. There's a proof text for engines, right? Invented by cunning men to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks to shoot arrows and great stones without, he invented the catapult. I mean, this guy was a very intelligent man that God gave wisdom to as long as he sought the Lord. Verses 11 through 13 or over Uzziah had a host of fighting men that went up to war by bands according to the number of their account by the hand of jail, the scribe and Messiah, the ruler under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains. The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor were 2,600. I wrote down, he was a great leader of leaders. God allowed him to lead the leaders in his life and in his kingdom. See, when we follow God and we do what he tells us to do, he will make us to prosper and all of these things come in as blessings with that. Verse 14, "And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields and spears and helmets and harborgions and bows and slings to cast stones." I wrote down, he was servant-hearted. This was a good king. King Uzziah would be the one that we looked to like a king, David, and say, "I want to be like Uzziah." No wonder why Isaiah said, "Hey, this is my king." But we get into verse 15, and we read in verse 15 about the caterpillar, but look down at the end of this verse, "And his name spread afar abroad and listened to this very closely, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong." I'd like to pray one more time before we get into the message. Lord, thank you for today, and Lord, I need you this morning. Lord, I got to have you, Lord, more than anything. Lord, I beg of you, give me your spirit, your power, your words. Help me, too. Lift you up, and Lord, I pray that you give these folks the listening ears, the heart and spirit to listen, Lord, and I pray that hearts would be tender. Lord, if there's anyone in this room this morning that is not saved, that has not accepted you to be their savior, pray today would be their day of salvation. Lord, be with this message in Jesus' name, amen, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong. Uzziah checked off all of the boxes of a strong leader, all of the boxes of a godly leader, all of the boxes of someone that was going to start and finish strong. But look at this, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong, verse 16. But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction. The sin that caused war in heaven, that caused the third of the angels to fall, that caused Lucifer to become Satan, crept into the heart of King Uzziah, the sin of pride. The sin that starts off every other sin that got crept into his heart was pride. He was doing everything right and he got to a place where he said, "You know what? I no longer need God. I can do this myself, everything that I've accomplished, everything that I've done. I'm looking out over my kingdom, everything that I've built. I no longer need to go to the King of Kings. I wonder what started him on this path of not needing help, on this path of him thinking that, "Man, I'm lifted up and my heart gets filled with pride." You see, nobody goes out intentionally looking to have pride in their heart. Nobody intentionally goes out and says, "God, I don't need you anymore." It all starts very subtle because that's how the devil works. It all starts very sly and I wonder how it started in his life. I wonder if it just started with a day of misprayer. He said, "I'm too busy today. I'm working, building the kingdom. I'm working, I'm doing what God's asked me to do and I don't have time for prayer today. I wonder if he missed a day of reading his Bible. I wonder if he missed a day of a church service. I wonder if he stopped singing and having that song in his heart. I wonder if he missed a day of getting clean with God. I just wonder when he stopped needing help in his life. I wrote this down. He got familiar, too familiar with the things of God. You and I have seen this multiple times when somebody comes into a church and especially into our church and they get saved and you know someone that just gets it. They're excited, right? They want to be front row and they want to be involved in everything. You and I, we look at that and say, "Well, wait till he's here for 20 years. We'll see how excited he is. But can I remind you of when you first got saved? Can I remind you of when God cleansed you from all of your sin? When God washed away everything that was dirty in your life?" He said, "Hey, I bought you as my child and I'm going to take you to heaven when you die." You remember how excited you were? But years go by and we get too familiar with the things of God. We no longer get the tug at our heartstrings when the Word of God is being preached and the Holy Spirit is trying to get through and we say, "Well, I've heard this a thousand times. I wonder if that's how King Uzaiya got." Well, I know, I know, I've heard this over and over again. I don't need to hear it again. I wonder if that's where pride started seeping into his heart and ultimately to his destruction. The Bible says in Proverbs 16, verse 5, "Everyone that is proud and hard is an abomination to the Lord." I teach this word abomination to our school kids because I deal a lot with lying and lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but also is a pride. And I say, "You know that dumpster behind the kitchen where Miss Pam throws all of the garbage after lunch? Imagine going down to the bottom of that dumpster," which I did the other day. Brother Kidwell and I lost my keys. I searched all over this property and I had to go dumpster diving. We both did, and we tore bags open in front of the garbage can. It was nasty. All right. And I've got a week, anyway, so that's an abomination. And God says when we have pride in our heart and in our life, that's what He wants to do with us. It's an abomination to Him. It's something so disgusting, so repulsive, and yet you and I allow it into our hearts in our lives every single day. He says it's an abomination. Here's Uzziah. Here's the story. Uzziah, he ultimately wants to do something that he shouldn't be doing. He wants to go into the temple and he wants to burn incense to the Lord, and that was not His job. That was not His place. Let's look here in verse 16, "But when He was strong, His heart was lifted up to His destruction, for He transgressed against the Lord is gone, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with them four-score priests of the Lord that were valiant men, and they was stood Uzziah the king and sent unto him, and appertained it not unto the Uzziah to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priest, the sons of Aaron that are consecrated to burn incense." I put this down, he wanted to worship God on his terms and in his own way. So pride seeps into his heart, and then he says, "God, I want to worship you the way that I want to worship you." And yet God gives us the command. God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. God has a specific way that He wants to be worshiped and loved, and the big part of that is obedience to His commands, and God had commanded that only the priests were to burn incense. There are many of you that are married, and here you know that there's different love languages between you and your spouse. And if my wife and I, we like two totally opposite things. If there is a more opposite couple, I'd like to see that my wife and I are so opposite. I like sour, she likes sweet. When we eat a cake, she'll eat the frosting, and I'll eat the cake. That's just the way it is. I like spicy, and she likes no spice, right? We're opposite. And she loves milky ways, and I love Snickers. Amen? All the men said amen. And imagine if I went home today, and I said, "Honey, I love you. Let me give you a Snicker bar." She'd take it. She's kind, she's sweet. Well, thank you, honey. She put it off to the side and wouldn't touch it. She just wouldn't. But if I came home with one of those man-sized packs of milky ways, if they sell at Walmart, and I said, "Honey, I love you. Boy, I'd get a kiss and a hug after that, amen." I know the way to love my wife, and just as much as, and more so, that I'm supposed to love my wife, I'm supposed to find out the way that I'm supposed to love God. God loves me unconditionally. There's no condition on His love for me, but I'm supposed to find out, "Hey, how am I supposed to worship God? How does He want me to love Him and serve Him?" First Corinthians 1031 says, "Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God." Everything I do is supposed to be for God's glory to show that I love Him. Verse 17 says, "And as right the priest went in after him, and with him, four-square priests of the Lord." And verse 18, "And they was stood, Uzziah, and they rebuked Him. But He stopped listening to the man of God. He stopped listening to preaching. He stopped listening to correction in His life. And here's Uzziah, his heart's getting filled with pride. He says, "Hey, I'll worship God the way I want to go. And now I'm not even going to listen to the man of God in my life. I'm not going to listen to the leadership in my life. And be careful because that way lies destruction." The Bible says that we're supposed to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. Pastor gets up here week after week, and he preaches from the Word of God, and I wonder how many of us we hear it. And we can listen to it, and maybe we even come to the altar, but when's the last time we took that message and took that truth and we truly changed as we walked out the door and said, "God, I need to change in my life for you." Uzziah stopped listening to the man of God, and also that he refused to listen to correction. You know pride is coming into your life, and you know you're headed towards destruction. And you stop listening to correction, when you stop listening to preaching, when you stop listening to the leadership in your life. The Bible says in Proverbs 29 verse 1, "He that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed in that without remedy." Let's read the rest of the story. And to verse 18, "The priest is telling him, 'For thou hast trespassed, neither shall it be for thine honour for the Lord God.'" Verse 19, "Then Uzziah was wrath, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense." He says, "I'm going to do it anyway. I don't care what my leadership says. I don't care what the man of God says. I'm going to do it anyway." And while he was wrath with the priest, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priest and the house of the Lord from beside the incense altar. God strikes him with the deadly disease that was a death sentence in those days. That says, "Hey, you don't want to get rid of the pride in your life. You don't want to listen to correction. You don't want to listen to the man of God. Hey, you want to do things your way and worship me the way you want to. Hey, here you go. Here's some leprosy. And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priest looked upon him and behold, he was leprosy in his forehead. And they thrust him out from thence. He ate himself, hasted also to go out because the Lord had smitten him. And here's verse 21, tragic verse, "And who Ziya the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house being a leper. He was unrepentant." Here's the man of God trying to show him all the truth that he could to try to get him to not do this, even get struck with leprosy and never goes back to the king of kings that could have healed him. And instead chooses to live the rest of his days as a leper. You and I can be guilty of that. We can judge you as I all day long, but these traits can be found in each and every one of us. How many of us in here have those besetting sins that we know are wrong and an abomination to the Lord? And we will say a prayer and confess sin, and yes, God will cleanse, and yet we go right back to it and say, hey, I don't care what the man of God says. And I don't care what the Bible says, it's a straight command from Scripture. It makes me feel good, and I'm going to do it anyway. And that's the society we live in today, that if it makes me feel good, and if it gives me pleasure, I don't care what the Word of God says, I'm going to do it anyway. He was unrepentant. The Bible says in Proverbs 26, 11, "As a dog, return it to his vomit, so a fool return it to his falling." I'll put this down, verse 21. He never goes back to the house of God. Never went back to here preaching, never went back to correction. And by the way, I put this down as a note here. It affected the next generation. Look at 2 Chronicles 27, verse 2, and we'll start with 27, verse 1. Jotham was 25 years old, this is Eusiah's son. When he began to reign and he reigns 16 years in Jerusalem, his mother's name was also Jerusha, the daughter of Zadek, and he did that which was right in the side of the Lord according to all that his father, Eusiah did. How be it, he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people did yet corruptly. Hey, when you and I do something wrong, it doesn't just affect us. When you and I transgress the commands of God, it's not just us, we're affecting and breaking communication with God. Each and every one of us have influence in our lives. We were influencing the next generation. You're influencing people in this room, even just by being present today. And when you and I do something against God's commands and it becomes known, it affects the next generation. His son never went back to the house of God, and by the way, his grandson did that which was evil in the side of the Lord. Your sin affects more than you know. You think, well, I'll just cover it. I'll just hide it. No, no. God says, confess your sins, make it known to him, and he will cover it. It's not our job to cover. So go back to Isaiah chapter 6 and verse 1. We just read about this first king in the year that king Uzziah died. Isaiah had to allow his earthly king to die before he sees the high and lifted up one. I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled the temple. Can I introduce you to this king of kings and this Lord of lords that who were supposed to serve every moment of our lives and every bit of us is supposed to be worshiping? I'm going to show you here in just a moment who our king is. And many of you have seen this countless times. I watch it on repeat many, many times. It's by Brother S.M. Lockridge. Of that's my king. I'd like to introduce you to this king of kings and this Lord of lords. Fellas, would you play that, please? The Bible says he's a king of the Jews. He's a king of Israel. He's a king of righteousness. He's a king of ages. He's a king of heaven. He's a king of glory. He's a king of king. And he is the Lord of lords. And that's my king. Do you know him? No means of measure, can. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of glory. He's the king of king. He's the king of king. And he is the Lord of lords. And that's my king. Do you know him? Do you know him? He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He is the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. He's the king of heaven. And he saved, he healed the sick, he claimed the leopards, he forgives, sinners, he discharges, sinners, he delivers the cactus, he defeats the people, he blesses the young, he serves the unfortunate, he reparts the age, he rewards the diligence, and he beautifies the meat. Do you know him? My King is a key of knowledge, he's a wealth-spraying of wisdom, he's a dough way of delivering, he's a fast way of peace, he's a road way of righteousness, he's a highway of holiness, he's a gateway of glory. Do you know him? His light is maximum, his goodness is limitless, his mercy is everlasting, his love never changes, his words is enough, his praise is sufficient, his reign is righteous, his yoke is easy, and his burden is light. Well, I would have to describe it for you, but he's in this problem. He's in this problem. He's in this problem. Yeah. He's in comprehensible. He's in invisible. He's irresistible. You can't get him out of your mind. You can't get him off of your hands. You can't outlive him and you can't live without him. Well, piracy couldn't stand him, but they found out they couldn't stop him. Pilots couldn't find him in a false image. The heresy couldn't keep him. Death couldn't handle him and the grave couldn't hold him. That's my game. Yeah, he always has been. And he always will be. I'm coming by your head. No better than that. And he'll have lots of stuff. You can't even peek him and he's not going to resign. And when you have a king like that, a high and lifted up, and when you get rid of the earthly kings in your life, the kings of pride, the kings of doing things your way, the kings of unteachability, maybe it's the king of lust, maybe it's the king of money. Whenever this earth has to offer, and you say, "I'm going to follow that king over the king of kings." It leads towards destruction. But when I hear and read and see about a king of kings like that, I can't help but say, "Hey, I want all of what the king of kings has to offer, and everything else fades away." In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up. When Isaiah got the right king in his life, we see that he makes three statements in this chapter of Isaiah chapter 6. And they all start with then-said I. And so when he gets the right king, verse 5, he says, "Then-said I, woe is me, for I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips." And I dwell in the midst of the people of unclean lips. For mine eyes have seen the king, the Lord of Host. When you and I get the right king in our lives, Isaiah, he had the right passion and he had the right position. He had the right position in his life. He said, "Woe is me." He said, "I am a man of unclean lips." You and I, we walk around with so much pride and we say that everything is owed to me. And again, we have a society that's like that, that everything I deserve, I deserve everything in this life. And when you get next to the king of kings, and when the king of kings becomes your true king in life, you realize, woe is me. I deserve absolutely nothing in this life that everything I do must be for the king of kings. And he had the right position. When is the last time you got clean in your life? Isaiah has decided, "Hey, I am an man of unclean lips and I need to get clean." When is the last time you got clean? Not cleaner, Lord forgive me of my sins. No, but gotten specific with God and said, "Lord, I need to get clean with you because compared to you, I am a man of unclean rags. Everything good about me is as filthy rags. When is the last time you got clean?" And not only just for you, but even for your nation. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7, 14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." To say, "Lord, I'm so sorry not only for my sins, but even the sins of the United States of America that's going through the most backwards philosophy and ideologies this world has ever seen, this country has ever seen, that everything that is wrong is now called right. I see it every single day with families begging to come into our school that want to pull their kids out because of the philosophies that are being taught. And I wonder if it's being prevalent because God's people isn't getting clean. It's because this church has got to get on their face before God and say, "Lord, I'm tired of having the king of pride in my life. I've got to be clean before you." You see, the Holy Spirit is the one who leads to conviction in our lives, which leads to confession, which ultimately leads to cleansing. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. All it takes is for you to come to God and say, "Lord, clean me. Forgive me." You say, "You don't know what I've done. You don't know my past. You don't know my history." God says, "I don't care about all that. I just want to clean you. I just want you to serve me. I want to do something with your life. All it takes is for Shannon Noah Bible Baptist Church to wake up and realize, "Hey, I'm going to get rid of this king of pride and that I can't do anything for God, and I'm going to go and run to the king of kings that can transform my life to do something for him." When Isaiah got the right king in his life, he got the right position. The second statement, verse 8 of Isaiah chapter 6. Also, I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then said, "I hear a lie. Send me." Second statement, he had the right passion. He had the right passion for the gospel. He got cleaned. He got cleansed by the king of kings, and his first response was, "Hey, I'll go. Here am I. Send me. I'll do whatever you want me to do, Lord. I'll go where you want me to go. I'll say what you want me to say. Here am I. Send me. I'm a willing vessel. I'm a willing servant. I may not be the most talented. I may not be the most good-looking. I may not have all the knowledge, but hey, God, if you'll use me, I'll serve you with my life. Here am I. Send me." This church has heard wonderful messages from this pulpit through the decades, had some of the greatest, most eloquent preachers through the years. "Preach on. Here am I. Send me. We know what to do, but when's the last time we actually did it?" "God, you're speaking to me. I need to be the one going. I need to be the one doing." Isaiah was ready to give a prompt delivery of any message God gave to him, and so should we. Berkeley County is growing by leaps and bounds, and we've only reached by our estimations about 5% of it. We have tens of thousands of people moving into Berkeley County, and what are we doing with the gospel? How are we getting it to the people pouring in? God is bringing the mission field to us, and it's incumbent upon us to say, "Here am I, Lord. Send me." Lastly, this, verse 11, "Then said I, Lord, how long?" And here's what the Lord says, and he answered, "Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, he had the right persistence." God says, or Isaiah asks, "Lord, how long will I go? How long should I tell people?" And God says, "There's no one else to tell. That's when your job is finished. The grace of God extends to every man on this earth." God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, and that everyone should hear the gospel, but it's incumbent and commanded to you and I to say, "Lord, I'll go until everyone's heard the gospel." When we get the right king in our lives, we choose to serve the king of kings. We do what he tells us to do for however long it takes. Let me ask you this as we close. What kings have to die in your life in order to see the king of kings be lifted up? I'm reminded of Joshua. When he asks the children of Israel, "Choose you this day whom he will serve. As for me in my house, we will serve the Lord." And you have a decision every single day to say, "Am I going to serve the king of this world that offers nothing to me but vanity and lies? Or am I going to serve the king of kings? That's all powerful. That can do anything and everything. Which king am I going to serve? Shenandoah, which king will you serve? And after you get the right king in your life, what will be your response? Will it be a here am I who send me? Lord, I need to get clean before you. Lord, I'll go where you want me to go. I'll say what you want me to say. Can I ask you for those that have never been to our church before? Or maybe you've been a longtime member. Have you ever been introduced to the king of kings? Have you ever been introduced to Jesus Christ that could be your savior to take you to heaven when you die? I beg of you, I plead of you, do not walk out those doors today without first being introduced to the one that can save you from hell and take you to heaven when you die. And for all of our church, I ask, who is your king? I'm so tired of hearing about revival. I'm tired of hearing about make a decision, make a decision. And I'm tired of the coldness and the deadness of churches in America that say, I'll come to church and I'll sit in a pew and I'll sing along with the words, but familiarity has crept in and pride has crept into my heart and my life. And the king of pride and all of these things that distract us from what God has for us. I'm tired of seeing that in America where we no longer come to the altar and make decisions. I want to see a day at Shenandoah when we as a church decide, hey, I'm going to the king of kings. He's pricked something in my heart. I need to change something in my life. I've got to get to the king of kings or I'll burn. I've got to get to the king of kings that he's center in my life. Who is your king this morning? Every head bowed, every eye closed, singers, I'll ask you to get to your places. I've chosen a song this morning that's my 100% favorite song of all time to hold our God. And you'll hear about the king of kings and describing him within this song. But let me ask you something this morning. Before they sing, who's your king? Who reigns supreme in your life? Maybe there's the king of pride. Maybe it's the king of lust. Maybe it's the king of doing things your way. Maybe you've been cold in your heart and to the things of God. And it just hasn't been as warm as when you first start and you say, I need to get back to the king of kings. Maybe this morning you've never accepted Christ to be your personal Savior. Today could be that day. Every head bowed, every eye closed. How many of you here this morning would say, there was something in the message that I needed today. God was speaking to my heart. Would you raise your hand and say, God, would you pray for me? There was something in the message I needed. Would you pray for me? Would you stand with me, please? If your hand is raised, I'd ask you to come forward and come visit with the king of kings and Lord of Lord, singers, what you sing. Who has held the oceans in his hands? Who has numbered every grain of sand? Kings and nations tremble at his voice. All creation rises to rejoice. Behold our God, seated on his throne. Come let us adore him. Behold our king. Nothing can compare. Come let us adore him. Who has given counsel to the Lord? Who can question many of his words? Who can teach the one who knows all these? Who can tell them all his wondrous deeds? Behold our God, seated on his throne. Come let us adore him. Behold our king. Nothing can compare. Come let us adore him. Who has felt the nails upon his hands? Bearing all the guilt of sinful men? God eternal humble to the brave. Jesus save your risen now to reign. Behold our God, seated on his throne. Come let us adore him. Behold our king. Nothing can compare. Come let us adore him. You will reign, hold your glory, fill the earth. You will reign, hold your glory, fill the earth. Behold your glory, fill the earth. You will reign, hold your glory, fill the earth.
