Make Way for the King | After Hours | Alex Whitley

What if the real problem in your spiritual life is not your sin, but you? Most of us come to Jesus wanting him to fix things. Fix the sin. Solve the dysfunction. Clean up the mess. And he does it. But there is a moment when Jesus stops meeting you in your need and begins to ask you for the throne. And that’s where most people walk away. In this message, we observe two men, the rich young ruler and Stephen, who fell to their knees before God. Same posture. Completely different hearts. One walked away sadly. One died free. The question this message raises is one that most of us are afraid to answer: who is really sitting on the throne of your life? — Learn more about After Hours: www.afterhoursraleigh.com If you want to learn more about the CLF Church: https://clf-church.com CHAPTERS: 0:00 The Moments God Asked Me to Give Up Everything ~4:00 Two men fell to their knees; only one left free ~8:00 The version of Jesus that will ruin your life ~13:00 There’s a throne inside you: here’s who’s sitting on it ~18:00 How to know if you really are the God of your own life ~23:00 Every time you negotiate with God, this is what happens ~28:00 Stop asking Jesus to fix your sin: it’s not the real problem ~33:00 Why the rich young ruler walked away (and why you too you could do it) ~38:00 Stephen was about to die: this is what he saw first ~43:00 The chosen one What Jesus said you are missing ~46:00 If you are ready to come down from the throne, come now ~50:00 Prayer for each area you have reserved for yourself
