    A look at the fact that the Magi did not come to Bethlehem but to Nazareth. The sermon uses that truth to talk about following God's direction instead of the man's leading.

    The following sermon is going to suggest that like the Magi we are to honor Christ on His birthday by bringing Him sacrificial gifts of love and deeds of self-denial with the goal that the world might see and bow their knees to the awesome strength, power and love of the Savior!

    The Lowly King Of Kings Series

     | 4,710 views

    When people came looking for the Messiah they expected to see “a reed shaken in the wind,” or a wealthy and mighty king. Instead of finding a wealthy king, they found the Christ who was meek and humble; born in a place of low esteem.

    Our message for today is a reflection on the lowly and humble estate of our King of Kings. To begin this morning, turn in your Bibles to Isaiah chapter 9, and we will look at verses 1-2, and 6-7. What I am about to read are the words of the prophet Isaiah concerning the entrance of our Savior ...read more
