"Christ the King Sunday"

On the final Sunday of the church year—Christ the King Sunday—Reverend Holt offers a powerful and deeply personal sermon on the lordship of Jesus Christ. Framing the day as a decisive moment in the church calendar, Holt challenges listeners to not only acknowledge Jesus as King of Kings but to enthrone Him in every room of their hearts.

Beginning with the dramatic courtroom encounter between Jesus and Pontius Pilate in John 18, Holt invites the congregation to consider the nature of true kingship. Pilate, representing worldly power, is perplexed and threatened by Jesus’ quiet authority. Jesus, in turn, questions Pilate back—probing his heart and asking whether his inquiries come from personal conviction or borrowed politics. It’s a call to self-examination that Holt extends to each listener: Who sits on the throne of your heart?
