No Ordinary King | Pastor Corbin Kill | Sunday, March 29th, 2026

I wanna ask us a question. If the winds obey him, If the sea obeys him, if demons and even death, hell, and the grave obey him, then why do we struggle to obey him? Because the greatest miracle is not that the storm was stopped. It's not that the dead were raised. It's not that the blinded eyes were open. No. The greatest miracle that happens in the pages of scripture and in any of our lives is when a heart surrenders to him. That is a miracle. [00:55:42] (48 seconds)  #HeartSurrenders

But you can't separate the two. If he is king, then he has authority over our lives. He's either king of all or he's not king at all. And if you have not yet surrendered to his authority over your decisions, if you've not yet surrendered to his authority over your direction, over your lifestyle, over your future, then I invite you this morning. You don't serve an ordinary king. You don't invite a king in your life and retain control. The question remains, who is this? Not just in scripture but in your life.

The people in the city of Jerusalem, they asked the question of Jesus, of the disciples when Jesus made what we now know as the triumphal entry. They said, who is this being moved by emotion, being moved by the sights and the sounds and the scenes of what was unfolding before them? They asked that question, who is this? And I ask us I begin this morning by asking a simple question of us today. What kind of king were you expecting? [00:39:35] (38 seconds)  #WhoIsThisKing

This king was not coming to conquer and to take the lives of the enemy. He was coming to give his life to save our lives. Praise god. Prophesied of old especially in Isaiah 53 but he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. Most kings require that you pay pay some sort of tribute to them. Most kings want you to bring them a sacrifice, wants you to bring them a tax, wants you to bring them a gift. But this king, no ordinary king, became the sacrifice, became the ransom, became the replacement. [01:05:23] (55 seconds)  #KingWhoSacrificed

On Palm Sunday, some two thousand years ago, they asked, who is this? But on that day, when that rider on that great white horse splits open those clouds, there will be no question. Because every tongue will profess. Every eye will see. Every knee will bow. And we will all proclaim that Jesus Christ is king of kings and lord of lords. Too many people in our world and often if we're honest with ourselves, too many times ourselves, we only see him as that humble king that rides on a donkey.

But on the very day of the Passover, when the lambs were being selected and every family was arranging, every man was arranging to have a lamb for he and his home on that self same day. Jesus, the lamb of god, was entering into Jerusalem. No ordinary king times his arrival with prophetic precision like Jesus does at this moment when he enters into the gates of Jerusalem.

Bring the colt to me. If anybody says that that they've got any issue, just say the lord has need of them. Jesus speaks with authority. The lord has need of them and the situation bends to accommodate his will in that moment. The cult that had never been written submits. The owner who most likely was not expecting some strangers to come and take his new colt away from his home submits to the word and the will of the lord. The lord has need of him. Jesus has authority over our circumstances. [00:52:58] (45 seconds)  #JesusHasAuthority

Praise god. The point that I make to us this morning and bringing that to our attention is that when we are in the presence of the king, silence is not an option. Stillness and quietness is is not an option because even creation will praise him if we do not. And so I wanna lift my voice and I wanna lift my hands and I wanna praise him and I wanna worship and rejoice in his presence because he is worthy of whatever I can give to him.

But you can't separate the two. If he is king, then he has authority over our lives. He's either king of all or he's not king at all. And if you have not yet surrendered to his authority over your decisions, if you've not yet surrendered to his authority over your direction, over your lifestyle, over your future, then I invite you this morning. You don't serve an ordinary king. You don't invite a king in your life and retain control. The question remains, who is this? Not just in scripture but in your life. Because on that day, they laid down their garments, they laid down their palms of praise, and today, god is asking us, what will you lay down? Pride, sin, control, resistance because our king is not just calling He's not just passing by on a colt. He's calling for surrender. [01:12:06] (106 seconds)

From the very beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry, it was known that his mission was to come to take away all of the sins of this world. Jesus knew exactly where he was going. Amen. This king was not coming to conquer and to take the lives of the enemy. He was coming to give his life to save our lives. Praise god. Prophesied of old especially in Isaiah 53 but he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. Most kings require that you pay pay some sort of tribute to them. Most kings want you to bring them a sacrifice, wants you to bring them a tax, wants you to bring them a gift. But this king, no ordinary king, became the sacrifice, became the ransom, became the replacement. [01:05:09] (69 seconds)
