0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm key Simon. Right now we're learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the Gospel of Luke.
0:20.0	So back in 2017 Burger King of all places drew the ire of Belgium's King.
0:27.0	It was kind of for this what I think was hilarious publicity stunt.
0:30.4	At the time, they were expanding their stores into Belgium and so to get attention they

0:39.3	there's two characters on it on the one side is the Burger King and on the other side is this
0:44.8	cartoonized version of King Philip of Belgium and beneath the little cartoons

1:24.7	There really can only be one king and he wasn't going to share his crown with the Burger King.
1:29.8	The same thing's true of our own lives, isn't it?
1:32.3	There can only be one king over our choices, our
1:35.8	bodies, our desires, our everything. And these days we're encouraged to make ourselves kings
1:41.9	or queens over our own lives. I'm assured that I basically
1:45.7	know what's best for me, that I can choose what's best for me and I can provide even what's best for me.
1:52.2	And all of that is well and good until it's not.
