Who Will Be King? - Psalm 2

None of us likes to be told what to do. We want to be our own boss, to call the shots, but the Bible warns us that there is a King over all the universe and it's not you or me. In this sermon Pastor David explains that rebellion against the Almighty means certain destruction, so we must bow the knee to Christ the King. There is no refuge from Him, there's only refuge in Him.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, “As for Me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill.” 7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to Me, “You are My Son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your heritage, and the ends of the earth Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” 10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
