I’m excited to share my first residency sermon from July 28, 2024, preached at Christ Community during the residency program. In this 22-minute message, part of the "Longing for a Better King" series, I dive into 2 Chronicles 33:1-20 to unpack the story of King Manasseh, Judah’s most notorious king. I explore how his shocking descent into evil, forgetfulness of God, and eventual repentance reveal God’s unshakable faithfulness, patience, and mercy. Using the analogy of a misguided lighthouse, I show how Manasseh’s story reminds us that no one is ever a lost cause for God.

I unpack:
• Manasseh’s rebellion and the consequences of turning from God.
• How God’s discipline is an act of mercy, leading to repentance.
• The hope of redemption—how sincere faith can transform even the worst sinner.

This sermon challenges me—and you—to reflect on our lives, repent, and live for Christ, the true King, in the light of God’s relentless grace. No matter how far you’ve wandered, God’s mercy is ready to restore.
