We Will Be the Lord’s People

Year: 1981
Verses: 2 Kings 11:1-20
Source: TCOTW

Pastor Jack draws from the dramatic story of young King Joash’s coronation to address the subtle erosion of spiritual commitment in believers’ lives. Using the account of Athaliah’s overthrow and the people’s covenant declaration-“we will be the Lord’s people”-he examines how compromises and “intermarriages” with worldly values gradually pollute our spiritual vitality. Pastor Jack challenges the congregation with practical tests of allegiance, particularly in areas like finances and family, and calls them to a decisive, ironclad commitment to Christ’s rule in every area of life.
