The King We Need: Luke 9.1-22

Everyone wants a Savior… until Jesus starts confronting the things we want to control.In Luke 9, Jesus forces a question that changes everything: Do you want the real King? Or just a version of Him that makes life easier?This message explores why people wanted a Messiah they could use, but rejected the Messiah who demanded surrender. From Herod, to the crowds, to the disciples, the same struggle still exists today: we want comfort without repentance, inspiration without authority, and a Jesus who affirms us without changing us.
