Christ the King

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on Christ the King Sunday, a day marking the end of the church calendar and emphasizing the ultimate reign of Jesus as King. Chris Romig explains the biblical and historical foundation of the church calendar, which retells the story of God's redemption and shapes the faith of believers throughout the year. He traces the church calendar from Advent to Pentecost and "Ordinary Time," noting that Christ the King Sunday reminds Christians that their primary loyalty is to Jesus, not earthly leaders. The sermon delves into Revelation 11, where the sounding of the seventh trumpet signals both impending judgment and the victorious coronation of Christ, whose coming reign is described with such certainty that it is spoken of as already accomplished. Chris Romig emphasizes the hope found in God's promises of future justice, reward for the faithful, and the fulfillment of God's covenant, symbolized by the Ark of the Covenant appearing in heaven. He encourages the congregation to live in the light of eternity, letting the assurance of Jesus' ultimate victory shape their perspective today, and to actively share this hope. The message concludes with a call to gratitude, faithfulness, and confident anticipation of Christ's return, affirming, "God wins."
