  • King of Kings (Matthew 2)
    washington,wa s h i n g t o n , dcd c KING OF KINGS Epiphany 2019 Matthew 2:1-12 Dan Claire The story of the Wise Men is the sequel to Matthew’s account of the birth of Jesus, and it begins with two important details that weren’t mentioned in chapter one: namely, the place and the time. Matthew writes: “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem.” (2:1) The place and the time of a story usually aren’t all that exciting, but if it’s a good story, these details are often essential for understanding what the story is all about. That’s certainly the case in Matthew’s story. The place where Jesus was born, Matthew tells us, was Bethlehem–not Jerusalem. Isn’t it odd that Matthew didn’t mention this earlier, when he told the story of Jesus' birth? Matthew was saving this detail until now, until the story of the Wise Men. Most people would have expected the new king to be born in the royal palace in Jerusalem, ~5 miles to the north, and that’s exactly where the Wise Men looked first. They arrived and asked, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” (2:2) But Jesus wasn’t there. He was in the City of David, in Bethlehem and not in Jerusalem.

  • King of Kings (Sermon Outline)
    King of Kings Christmas/Advent 2019 Rob Rogers December 15, 2019 _________________________________________ Long before the moment of His birth, it was foretold that one day, a King would come... and that this King wouldn’t simply be added to mankind’s long list of failed and fallen kings... but that this King would be a TRUE King, a GOOD King. And that when this King took His throne, not just all people... but all of creation would blossom and flourish, and bloom underneath His rule and reign. In Luke 1, the angel appears to Mary and tells her, you’re going to have a son, His name will be Jesus, He will be great, He will be enthroned as King, He will reign forever, and there will be no end to His Kingdom. In Matthew 2, the wise men, following the star... come to King Herod, asking for the One who has been born King of the Jews. The storyline of Scripture tells us that this baby — born in a manger, 2,000 years ago in an obscure little town, to a no-name family, with an incredibly checkered bloodline, from a belittled, struggling, and oppressed nation — is the One True King, the Good King, the King of Kings. But before this King would take His throne for good, before His Kingdom would be established, He’d have to lay everything down... and this is exactly what He did. • Philippians 2:5-11 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

  • Kingship 1 Kings 1:1-2:46 Introduction What Possible Relevance Does This Antiquated Book Have for Our Lives? I Mean, Other Than
    Kingship 1 Kings 1:1-2:46 Introduction What possible relevance does this antiquated book have for our lives? I mean, other than helping you win at Bible trivia over your in-laws, or give you some potential names for your kids, what benefit is there in looking at these chapters? As we shall see, Kings is very relevant for our lives. Paul said, "For whatever was written in former days [OT] was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope" (Rom 15:4). In Kings, like other OT books, we will find instruction, encouragement, and hope. We need these blessings that we may endure faithfully. Kings belongs to the history section of the Old Testament, in a section that is referred to as the Former Prophets. It includes Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. In Joshua, God’s people take the Promised Land, as promised in the previous story of the patriarchs and the Exodus. In Judges, a number of interesting figures like Gideon, Deborah, and Sampson lead the nation, which covers about 400 years. Judges, as a whole, shows the nation in a downward spiral in need of a godly king. In 1 Samuel, we find the account of the prophet Samuel, and the beginning of the monarchy. Saul is the first monarch. His story is in 1 Samuel. David looms in the background of 1 Samuel, as the king to come. 2 Samuel is the story of David’s reign. The books of 1-2 Kings (originally one book) covers about 370 years of history.

  • He Is KING of KINGS Devotions for the Season of Lent 2018
    He is KING OF KINGS Devotions For the Season of lent 2018 First United Methodist Church Greensburg, Pennsylvania HE IS KING OF KINGS Introduction The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will choose as King a righteous descendant of David. That king will rule wisely and do what is right and just throughout the land. When he is King, the people of Judah will be safe, and the people of Israel will live in peace. He will be called ‘The Lord Our Salvation.’ (Jeremiah 23:5-6) About three centuries ago, Spaniards besieged a small French town, St. Quentin. The city walls were in ruins; fever and famine plagued the peo- ple. One day the Spaniards shot over the walls a shower of arrows to which were attached little slips of parchment promising that if they sur- rendered, their lives and property would be spared. The mayor of the town was a devout Huguenot (French Protestants who followed John Calvin’s reformed theology). For answer, he tied a piece of parchment to a javelin and hurled it back to the Spaniards. On the parchment was the message: “Regem habemus” -- “We have a king!” Christians also can say, “We have a King.” Jesus is our King. We belong to his Kingdom. He is not like other kings, however. He is not just another king. He is different. He is not only king but King of kings. He is not like the ancient Egyptian king, Rameses, whose arrogant motto was inscribed on temples still standing, “I am the greatest.” Jesus is not the kind of king, a savage tyrant, like the king of China who used millions of slaves to build the Great Wall of China, a wall so huge that it can be seen from the moon.

  • Persia: Place and Idea
    1 Persia: Place and Idea Persia/Persians and Iran/Iranians “Persia” is not easily located with any geographic specificity, nor can its people, the Persians, be easily categorized. In the end Persia and the Persians are as much metaphysical notions as a place or a people. Should it be Iran and the Iranians? Briefly, “Persia/Persians” is seldom used today, except in the United Kingdom or when referring to ancient Iran/Iranians – c. sixth century bc to the third century ad. Riza Shah (1926–1941) decreed in 1935 that Iran be used exclusively in official and diplomatic correspondence. Iran was the term commonly used in Iran and by Iranians, except from the seventh to the thirteenth centuries. Fol- lowing the Second World War, oil nationalization, the Musaddiq crisis, and subsequent greater sensitivity to Iranian nationalism, the designa- tion Iran/Iranian became widely used in the west. Until recently the use of Persia/Persians was often rejected among Iranians themselves. Iran/Iranian also had its own hegemonic dimension, especially from the experience of some of Iran’s multi-ethnic population. The usage of Persia/Persian, however, was revived by Iranian expatriates in the post- 1979 era of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This common usage among them represents an attempt on their part to be spared the opprobrium of “Iran” and its recent association with revolution, “terrorism,” hostages, and “fundamentalism,” while Persia/Persian suggested to them an ancient glory and culture – a less threatening contemporary political identity. Nevertheless, the political ramifications of either Persia or Iran cannot be escaped. Above all, the history of Persia/Iran is the history of the interaction between place and the peoples who have lived and who currently live there.

Yugpurush, King of Kings (Chakravarti) of Pure Consciousness, one whose inner state was like an ascetic (sadhucharit), such Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad Rajchandraji’s birth anniversary according to English calendar is today, on 9th November and according to Hindu calendar, it is on the day of Kartak Sud Purnima. On this day, He was born in Bharat kshetra. We bow down to Him, worship Him and offer our salutations to Him with a lot of bhakti. Today’s satsang is on Updeshchhaya-9, which was given in Vadva on Bhadarva Sud Teras, Saturday in Samvat 1952. “To reduce the flaws, the Enlightened One’s words should be remembered, if they are understood properly if you listen and contemplate on them, then naturally the soul will become pure. In doing this, not much effort is needed. But if those words are not contemplated upon, flaws will never get reduced.” Gandhiji was a great personality and many well-known people had given their compliments to Him. Rabindranath Tagore called Him, “Mahatma”(Great soul), Subhas Chandra Bose called him, “Father of the nation.” Gopal Krishna Gokhale called Him, “Pinnacle of Humanity.” Roma Rola called him, “Second Christ.” George Bernard Shaw called Him, “Himalayas.” Einstein, Sardar, and Vinobaji also complimented Him.
