On Sunday, guest pastor Chris Renfro of Hope Church Union Hill shared a powerful message from Psalm 24, reminding us what it truly means to welcome the King of Glory—Jesus—into our lives.
Through the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem, we saw how God's presence demands reverence, holiness, and awe. Pastor Chris outlined three ways we welcome the King:
Recognize Who He Is – God is the Creator, Owner, and Sustainer of all things. Everything belongs to Him and reflects His glory—including us.
Rest in What He’s Done – None of us are worthy to stand in God's presence on our own. But through Jesus, who gives us His righteousness, we can draw near with confidence.
Receive Him in Your Heart – Psalm 24 calls us to open wide the gates of our hearts. It's not enough to acknowledge Jesus externally—He must be welcomed personally and fully into our lives.
The service closed with a passionate call to not miss Jesus like the crowds who sang Psalm 24 during Palm Sunday but failed to recognize the King riding into their city.
