Proximity to God Is Not Surrender | God's Still King | Rig Sunday Service w/ Ptr. Shane Abbott

Rig Church | HoustonJul 2026

Using the parable of the king's wedding (Matthew 22:1-14), the sermon argues that physical proximity, attendance, or religious language does not equal true surrender to Christ — believers must 'put on' the gift of the king (the wedding garment, i.e., Christ's righteousness) by genuine faith and obedience. The message calls listeners to respond to God's invitation now, warns against distraction, pride, and self-righteousness, and urges active evangelism to bring others in from the 'highways.'
