Arise Young Adults | The KING of Kings (John 18:28-37) | Joe Rodeheaver

Main message: Jesus is the one true King of kings — God incarnate who humbled himself to serve and save us, who reigns now and will return as victorious warrior — and we must confess his lordship, live under his rule, love and serve like him, and be ready for his coming.

Key points:

• Jesus is divine and sovereign (the Word who was with God and through whom all things were made); his kingdom is not of this world.
• Christ is the serving King: he humbled himself (Philippians 2) and models servant-leadership for his people (Matthew 20).
• Jesus is the Savior King: his death and resurrection provide redemption for those who believe (John 3:16–18, Colossians 1).
• Believers should live with urgency and readiness for Christ’s return (the rapture/imminence and the future second coming) and share the gospel now (1 Corinthians 15, 2 Timothy 4:1).
• True response is personal: confess him as Lord and God, repent of pride, love and serve others as evidence of being in his kingdom (John 20:26–28, Ephesians/John’s command).
