In this podcast episode, Pastor Mike discusses the concept of God as King, drawing from his book "King: How the Sovereignty of God Changes Everything".He explores how the biblical understanding of a king's throne room as a place of judgment transforms into a "throne of grace" for believers through Christ's work. Mike emphasizes that Christians, as children of God and with Jesus as their high priest, can confidently approach God in prayer for mercy, grace, and help, even in their weaknesses and sins, because judgment for their sins occurred at Calvary.
