David’s Son Yet David’s Lord

Text: Mark 12:35-37
Teacher: Troy Maragos

Big Idea: Wholehearted allegiance to the King means recognizing Jesus as more than David’s Son and receiving Him as your sovereign Lord.

1. A Question Raised: Is the “Son of David” Saying Enough? – v.35
2. A Scripture Declared: David Calls His Future Messiah “Lord” – v.36
3. A Conclusion Drawn: The Son of David is the Lord of David – v.37

3 Points of Personal Application:

1. Your Jesus is Too Small
2. Your Jesus is Needs to be Greater
3. Your Jesus Deserves Your Complete Allegiance
