Chosen for the Kingdom
Sep 2, 2026 • Marlon Nelson
This sermon contrasts Israel's demand for an earthly king in 1 Samuel 8 with the kingdom Jesus demonstrates through healing and deliverance in Matthew 9. It explores how people often reject God's spiritual authority for something natural and tangible they can see and control. The message closes by declaring believers as chosen, set apart before the foundation of the world to carry forward Christ's compassion and power.
