JESUS: Lord

Hope Church - Fort Worth, TX

In this message, explore the profound meaning and implications of Jesus' lordship in historical and contemporary contexts. Beginning with examining the Greek word "kyrios" (Lord), learn how this title carried political and divine significance during Roman times, especially under Caesar's rule. Jesus proved His lordship through His death and resurrection, setting Him apart from earthly rulers. Pastor Luke delves into the cost of following Jesus as Lord - requiring complete surrender of one's life - while emphasizing the abundant gains of discipleship, including peace and transformed relationships. He concludes with five practical ways to live under Christ's lordship: seeking His direction in decisions, studying Scripture, choosing godly media influences, surrounding oneself with believers, and continually submitting to His authority. You will be challenged to move beyond superficial acknowledgment of Jesus' lordship to genuine submission in every area of life.
