Big Idea: Wholehearted allegiance to the King means recognizing Jesus as more than David’s Son and receiving Him as your sovereign Lord.
- A Question Raised: Is the “Son of David” Saying Enough? – v.35
- A Scripture Declared: David Calls His Future Messiah “Lord” – v.36
- A Conclusion Drawn: The Son of David is the Lord of David – v.37
3 Points of Personal Application:
- Your Jesus is Too Small
- Your Jesus is Needs to be Greater
- Your Jesus Deserves Your Complete Allegiance
