The Rightful King of All - 1 Peter 3:15
Christ is so much more than “my King”. He is “The King” over all and the full king of my heart. We are suffer so much weakness and stress in our lives by our undetected, but deeper loyalty to something/ someone over Jesus. There is a strain in us because we are straddling two loyalties and foundations.

This dual-mindedness cripples our worship, peace and testimony. Only the recognized kingship will set us free.
