Meet the Benevolent King
In this opening message of the This Is My Testimony series, Pastor Bill Russell invites you to “Meet Your Benevolent King” through the powerful scene of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, in John 12:12–19. While everyone has a story, not everyone has a testimony. A testimony is what happens when your story intersects with God’s story—when His faithfulness, love, and grace redefine everything.
As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowd celebrates—but not everyone understands who He truly is. Some are confused, others feel threatened, yet many are drawn to Him. This message reveals how Jesus challenges empty religion, confronts the lies we believe, and transforms the very identity we build our lives upon. He doesn’t just tell His story—He invites us into it, rewriting our past, present, and future.
No matter where you’ve been or what your story holds, Jesus is still at work. He is a King who is not distant, but benevolent—full of compassion, truth, and saving power. When you trust Him, your story becomes a testimony of God’s enduring faithfulness, unfailing love, and living hope.
TODAY’S BIG IDEA Jesus Story is a Testimony of God’s Faithfulness and Love!
