Outline
Hook: What is the spiritual cause of political polarization?
I. NO KING
“It is not government, but trust in government that is the villain.” – Dale Ralph Davis
II. THE FIRST KING
“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done.’” – C.S. Lewis
III. THE TRUE KING
"The Son of man came not to be served, but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28). Takeaway: Is He worthy?... He is!
