Easter Sunday service
THE RESURRECTION OF THE KING
Revelation 19:13, 16
“He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God… On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.”
The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had His story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years. Can any more be said? Jesus is at once cosmic, historic, and specific. The King of Kings is calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with Him.
This series is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ as King, and one that will leave an everlasting imprint on everyone who will respond.
Come and see Pastor Anthony present the final message in our five-part sermon series this Sunday morning at 10:00 A.M. in person or online. Subscribe to our YouTube channel.
