The plot continues as the birth of the King is now under way and we take a look at Joseph’s instant obedience and Herod’s cruelty at it’s finest. As we study this story, we see how God is completing what He has begun and the role that we too play in God’s elaborate plan to save mankind.

In today’s sermon we are asked the question of how we can be better worshipers of the King.

We learn to worship Jesus not just for what He’s done but for who He is.

Continuing on in our series in Matthew, we learn the two different types of reaction the world has for the birth of the Messiah, the King of the Jews, our Lord Jesus Christ. As we take a look at the characters Herod and the Magis, we are challenged to answer the question why and how do we worship our King?
