King of Kings
Americans have no king. Perhaps that's why we don't grasp the true nature of kingship. Dennis Rainey reminds us of the glorious characteristics of our true king, Jesus Christ, by explaining the meaning of His names and the power that He alone possesses.

Dennis Rainey reminds us of the qualities of our true king, Jesus Christ.
Bob: It is a devotional on each of the names of Jesus found in the box of Adorenaments that Barbara has created.
Dennis: So when you put the Adorenaments—and you hang these royal names of Christ on the tree, she sets you up to really unpack what these names mean. The seven names—the royal names of Christ are: the Almighty, the Lion of Judah, Son of David, King of Israel, Prince of Princes, King of Kings, and the last one—Lord of Lords.
All I can say is: “Folks, last year, when we featured these on FamilyLife Today, we sold out of these things in a matter of days.” I want to encourage you to get a set and to pass on the truth about who He is to your kids and your grandkids. Together, let’s seize the high ground for what Christmas and who Christmas is all about.
Bob: Well,if you want to see what these look like, go to our website, FamilyLifeToday.com, and click on the link for Adorenaments. You can see what Barbara has been working on and how beautiful they look on a Christmas tree.

By the way, when you visit our website, keep in mind what Dennis mentioned earlier in our program. We have a matching-gift fund that has been established this year. The exciting thing about this matching-gift fund is every dollar that is donated, to help support FamilyLife Today, during the month of December—it is going to be matched—

not dollar for dollar—not even two dollars for every one dollar—but three dollars for every dollar donated. You make a $50 contribution—it is automatically $200-worth of benefit to FamilyLife Today. The cap on the donation is $500,000; but to take full advantage of this matching gift, we need to hear from as many of our listeners as possible.
Would you consider going to FamilyLifeToday.com, click on the link that says, “I CARE”, and make an online donation?—again, knowing that your donation is going to be quadrupled—or call 1-800-FL-TODAY—1-800-358-6329. That’s 1-800-“F” as in family, “L” as in life, and then, the word, “TODAY”.
