The King & His Kingdom: #104 - The Imprint | Matthew 22:15-22

Tom Logue - June 7th 2026 What if the biggest thing you're stealing... is your own life from God? Most people spend their lives trying to discover their purpose, build their purpose, or create their purpose. But what if the question isn't "What do I want my life to be?" What if the deeper question is "Who does my life belong to?" We live in a world obsessed with ownership, control, and self-determination. Yet beneath the surface is a tension many of us quietly carry: the feeling that we were made for more than chasing comfort, success, approval, or even our own plans. Jesus confronts that tension head-on. This message wrestles with conviction, pride, hidden motives, and the subtle ways we resist God's authority while still claiming to follow Him. It challenges us to consider whether we've been offering God what is convenient—or whether He is actually worthy of everything. If you've ever struggled with purpose, felt spiritually stuck, wrestled with surrender, or wondered why following Jesus can feel so difficult, this message speaks directly into that battle. The invitation is simple, but it changes everything: stop holding on so tightly, and discover what happens when your life is fully placed in the hands of the One whose image you bear.
