6/8/2025 Crosswater Community Church, Sultan, Wa - 10:45am Worship Service - In House

SERIES SUMMARY

We were made by God—to love Him, worship Him, obey Him, and rely completely on Him. But like the people in 1 Samuel, we often reject God's rule and clamor for something else—someone else—to lead us. In 1 Samuel, we see the rise and fall of kings, the longing for security, the failure of human leaders, and the ache for something more. Even Israel's best king couldn't deliver what only God could provide.

Through it all, God was preparing His people—not just for a better king, but for the true King. Jesus is the King of kings—perfect in obedience, humble in heart, righteous in judgment, and faithful in love. Every other king falls short of His glory. Our deepest need isn't just leadership or strength or success—it's King Jesus.

The King is coming. And His name is Jesus.

SERMON SUMMARY

Here at the end of our 11 week series on JESUS’ Sermon on the Mount, we find JESUS reminding the crowds and HIS disciples that in HIS kingdom, HE’s the KING and to truly flourish, JESUS’ people need more of HIM, to obey HIM, to be known by HIM and to know HIM.
