The Christmas Story You Were Never Taught: Jesus the King | Seeking A King Pt 1

People are always seeking something: power, purpose, provision, plans, protection, position, personhood (identity),and peoplehood (community). This is not a flaw in humanity; it is our design. God built us with a seeking mechanism. We seek by nature because we were created for something greater. No matter how high we climb or how much we acquire, something within us continues to search.

But here is the tension: most people are not seeking a King; they are seeking what a King can do outside of the King Himself, unaware that this kind of pursuit is futile.

This message confronts the human tendency to invent systems in the absence of Kingdom order. When people do not submit to a King, they create substitutes—false power, false purpose, false provision, false plans, and more. These inventions may work temporarily, but they always come with sorrow. What humanity calls progress is often just survival without dominion.

Christmas is not the invention of hope—it is the advent of a King. God did not invent something new; He revealed what already existed. Jesus did not come to offer improvement; He came to reestablish government. The Kingdom does not eliminate responsibility—it restores dominion.

Seeking A King: Part One calls believers to stop inventing solutions and start seeking authority. Power flows from the King. Purpose is defined by the King. Provision belongs to the King and follows purpose. Protection is given by the King. When you find the King, you don’t just find answers—you find true life.

You must understand what the Christmas story is really about and what that means for you.
