Holy Theocracy | July 5, 2026

In week eight of 'The Case for Biblical Literacy' sermon series, Pastor Kevin Cain tackles one of the most sweeping and consistent themes of all of Scripture — Holy Theocracy — revealing that from Genesis to Revelation, human history is one long story of humanity refusing God's throne and searching for a temporal, earthly king to put in God's eternal place. Tracing the thread from Eden and the Tower of Babel, through Abraham, the Judges, and the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon, all the way to the high priests crying "We have no king but Caesar" before Pilate; Pastor Kevin shows how every attempt at self-rule ultimately collapses. Additionally, he shows us how Jesus, the King who rules not by sword but by a towel and a cross, is the only true King in all of history. With a penetrating challenge drawn from Deuteronomy 17, 1 Samuel, Isaiah 14, and Revelation 16–21, this sermon calls every person to examine the throne of their own heart and answer the defining question of their life: "Every life has a throne — the only question is who's sitting on it?" The message closes with a communion call to surrender — to cast off whatever sits on the throne of your heart and crown Jesus as the lord & ruler of your life.
