Pursing the King: Wise Men & Herod

This Christmas sermon explores the journey of the wise men (Magi) who traveled from the East to worship the newborn King Jesus. The message emphasizes that while many people miss Jesus despite His proximity—like King Herod who was only 25 miles away in Jerusalem—the wise men actively pursued and worshiped Him. The sermon challenges believers to examine whether they have truly found Jesus, not just knowing about Him but encountering Him personally. It highlights that Christmas is not about material gifts, traditions, or cultural celebrations, but about the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. The message calls both unbelievers to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and believers to fulfill the Great Commission by sharing this gift with others. The sermon concludes with a focus on the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, supporting missionaries who make Jesus known to the ends of the earth.
