Why the Name of Jesus Changes Everything

In this third message of the "The King Has Come" series, Pastor Rick Vannoy reflects on the significance of names-especially the name above every other name: Jesus. From His humble birth in Bethlehem to His ultimate exaltation, we see how the name of Jesus carries power, purpose, and glory. Drawing from Philippians 2, Pastor Rick explores how history will ultimately end with every knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord.
This message challenges us to consider how we honor the name of Jesus in our own lives and what it means to live in submission to the King of Kings. If you're searching for hope this Christmas season, this teaching will remind you that history-and your life-has a glorious ending in Him.
