Framed by the haunting refrain of Book of Judges 21:25—"there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes"—and the triumphant vision of God's reign in Psalms 47, this sermon contrasts fading human memorials with the enduring sovereignty of the true King of Peace. Just as the distinct remembrances of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were blurred over time—despite Lincoln's carefully preserved Gettysburg Address—so truth becomes distorted when people forget God's authority and reinterpret history and righteousness through their own lens. Israel's decline in Judges illustrates the chaos that follows when God's kingship is ignored, while the first biblical appearance of "king" in the Book of Genesis 14 reveals Melchizedek, the King of Salem, prefiguring Christ—the true King of Peace—who refreshes His people with bread and wine. The message calls believers, especially as they prepare for Passover, to reject self-determined morality, remember God's sovereign rule, and renew their unity with the Father and the Son, recognizing that their real warfare is spiritual, not physical, and that lasting peace comes only by living under the righteous reign of the eternal King.
