Cyrus & The King of Kings

This sermon centres on the divine sovereignty illustrated through Cyrus, a pagan king whose actions fulfilled God's prophetic word centuries in advance, as recorded in 2 Chronicles 36:22–23. It emphasises that God's word is infallible, accomplishing His purposes regardless of human circumstances or intentions, as seen in Jeremiah's 70-year prophecy and Isaiah's foretelling of Cyrus by name over a century before his birth. The message highlights God's control over even the hearts of unbelieving rulers, showing that His Spirit stirs the wills of both believers and unbelievers to fulfill His eternal plan. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to recognise Jesus Christ as the true King of kings, inviting all to willingly submit to His authority, as transformed subjects of grace, whose lives find eternal significance in His unshakable kingdom.
