Sermon Theme: We are naturally a people who cannot and will not keep God's Law and desperately want to be like everyone else. Therefore, we need a King after God's own heart, who can deliver and rule us, heal and help us, care for us, conquer our greatest enemies, and bring us into God's eternal favor!
