Christ Reigns over Biden, Trudeau, and All Rulers of the Earth

Jim ButlerIsaiah 9:6–7

Isaiah 9:6–7 declares that the government rests on the shoulders of the promised Son, and this sermon clip presses that claim against the tendency to domesticate Christ as a non-threatening infant. Drawing on John 18, Matthew 28, Ephesians 1, and Revelation 1, the preacher argues that Christ's kingship is not a future hope but a present reality — he is ruler over the kings of the earth now. The application is direct: the church needs a fresh recovery of Christ's universal sovereignty as the only stable ground of confidence in discouraging times.
