Welcome The King

Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.

Are you welcoming Jesus?

Jesus

created you and every person who lives on earth
brought the world into being and continually sustains it
allows us to enjoy the creation that is His possession

Came to us

became like one of us and walked among us
lived obediently to His Father in total dependence
died in our place as our Savior to offer us righteousness

We can welcome Him to be our King
