In this sermon, No King but Jesus, we consider how the wisdom of Ecclesiastes helps us find our place in the unfolding story of redemptive history. With clarity and conviction, we trace a covenantal shift: under the Old Covenant, the throne belonged to David; under the New Covenant, it belongs to Christ. That shift redefines our citizenship, calling us to live as exiles and sojourners in a world that is not our home. Rather than trying to resurrect a New Christendom or reclaim earthly dominance, we are summoned to faithful presence—submitting to governing authorities, honoring the king, but pledging ultimate allegiance to the King of kings. As we await the return of Jesus, we learn to dethrone our misplaced hopes and live wisely under the reign of Christ, who alone holds the throne forever.
