She was a prostitute. Her life was a horrific, painful mess. Piled high with sin, shame, bad choices and public disgrace. But one day everything changed—radically. The King fell in love with her, and married her!
It was the scandal of all scandals. But from that day forward everything was amazingly different. Everything he had now belonged to her, and she was now royalty.
But hold on, let’s back up a minute.
This sermon is the final instalment in our teaching series on the 10 Commandments called “The Royal Family Code.” It provides an overview of the commandments, but then zeroes in on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 to provide some very very very very good news—especially for those who feel overwhelmed because of the commandments, and that they just don’t measure up.
For some of you this may be the most important sermon you will ever hear.
