Sermon Overview
Reidhead parallels the return of King David to Jerusalem with the need for the modern church to "speak a word" of invitation to Jesus. He argues that many churches operate with Christ in "exile," replaced by human programs. The sermon is a call to corporate repentance and a re-enthronement of Jesus as the absolute Sovereign over every activity.
Key Principles
King in Exile: Audit your church or home to see if "human programs" have pushed the Lordship of Christ into exile.
Absalom of Ambition: Identify and repent of "human ambition" and "self-glory" that competes with Christ's throne.
Voluntary Invitation:Realize that Christ will not force His Lordship; you must "speak the word" of invitation to Him.
Throne of the Heart:Formally re-enthrone Jesus as the absolute Sovereign over your schedule, money, and thoughts.
Happiness vs. Holy Joy: Distinguish between "outward happiness" (circumstances) and "inward joy" (relationship).
Secret Sin Thief:Hunt down the "hidden Achan" in your life that is stealing your corporate and personal joy.
Joy in Trials: Practice "counting it all joy" in suffering, knowing that God is producing "Gold" in the furnace.
Sharing the Joy: Use your "overflow of joy" as your primary attractive force when witnessing to the lost.
