Summary

As we explore the gift of Jesus this advent season, today we’ll dig into what it means for him to be our Savior King. Is salvation just for a time in the future, or could it also be for the here and now? What would it look like to take hold of our salvation this side of heaven, and experience the fruit of eternal life today? May you feel your faith and desire for more be spurred on today as you encounter this Savior King.

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Timothy 2:19, and today's worship is All Hail King Jesus by Jeremy Riddle.
