This sermon by Andy Stanley, from North Point Community Church, challenges the common Christian understanding of Jesus primarily as a savior. Stanley argues that the New Testament consistently portrays Jesus as a king, emphasizing his role in establishing God's kingdom, a concept often overlooked in modern Christianity. He highlights the mistranslation of "Christ" from Greek, obscuring Jesus' kingship. The sermon encourages listeners to re-evaluate their faith, focusing on Jesus' kingship and participation in his kingdom, rather than solely on salvation as a ticket to heaven. This reframing, Stanley suggests, will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of Jesus' teachings and a deeper engagement with faith.
