The King of Glory is Coming
Leviticus 23; Psalm 47:1-9
This message sets the church in an atmosphere of expectation by proclaiming that the King of Glory is coming. Centered on the Feast of Trumpets and the biblical significance of the seventh month, the sermon shows how God uses appointed times to awaken, gather, and prepare his people. The message is hopeful because it presents the sound of the shofar not as mere ritual but as a call to attention, reverence, and readiness for the Lord's movement. By connecting Torah, the prophets, and later biblical events, the sermon reminds the church that God has been building toward his purposes consistently across generations. The burden of the message is that the people of God should live awake, responsive, and expectant as they await the King of Glory. Respond to God's appointed seasons with attentiveness rather than spiritual passivity. Let the call of the Lord awaken your heart to prayer, reverence, and expectation. Do not treat waiting for God as a vague idea; prepare yourself to welcome his movement. Live as someone who believes the King of Glory is truly coming. Lord, awaken us by your Spirit and prepare our hearts for your coming. Teach us to hear your call with reverence, joy, and readiness. Let our lives become watchful and expectant as we await the King of Glory.
