Worship The King PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 19, 2023

The main point of this sermon is to emphasize the importance of worshiping God, using the story of the Wise Men's journey to worship Jesus as a guide for our own worship.

Good morning, church! Today we're going to zero in on a narrative that's often glossed over after the Christmas season, but has so much to teach us. Our scripture today is from Matthew 2:1-12, and it tells about the Wise Men's journey to worship our King Jesus. It's a beautiful reminder of how we ...read more

Matthew 1:1-12 A King to be Worshipped Woodlawn Baptist Church December 21, 2003 Introduction One of the things I love about Christmas is that it is traditionally a time of celebration.

King Making - King Breaking Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 12, 2007

Gideon shunned position but kept power, his son Abimelech had position but not power as both were ruled by the flesh and from the flesh reaped corruption. Learn how we can fall prey to that as Christians and how to avoid it.

Judges 8 and 9 give us a good picture of what happens when we decide to let the flesh rule in our lives instead of God’s Spirit. Galatians 5:16-17 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the ...read more

"The Psalm Of The King Of Kings"

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jul 16, 2007

A sermon on the second coming of Christ from Psalm 2.

Among the psalms, the second one is unique in three ways: It is the first of the Messianic Psalms. This psalm speaks of the coming Messiah, declaring His deity and sovereignty. It is the first of the Judgment Psalms. It is said that Revelation is but a fuller exposition of this psalm, which ...read more

The King’s New Clothes Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2011

If we clothe ourselves only in the name of Jesus, the world will see right through it - and through us. We have to put on his life, death and resurrection as well.

If you change the word “Gentiles” in the first verse of today’s passage to “Americans” the whole lesson moves right into our own situation. They are practically a mirror of contemporary society. Listen to this: “[Americans] are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God ...read more

The Dark Side Of Christmas

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 16, 2008

Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

Matthew 2:1-12 Birth Of Jesus And The Star

Contributed by William D. Brown on Dec 11, 2012

Let me say first of all that we don't believe that Dec.25th was the month or date that Jesus was born. December 25th became popular as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religio

Worship The King!

Contributed by Simon Fullylove on Feb 27, 2007

A call to worship the King of all Kings

Introduction We are reading Matthew 1 – the bit that everyone skips over to get to the real stuff in verse 18. This on the face of it is no way to start the New Testament. Genealogy is quite juicy. But it still appears a boring list of names, what is the point? You may have heard the coronation ...read more

The Birth Of A King

Contributed by Martin Wiles on Dec 20, 2011

The central message surrounding Jesus’ birth is that he came to save people from their sins. He did his part, beginning with his birth. Now individuals must do theirs by trusting him as their Savior.

He was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio, the seventh and youngest child. As a youngster, he possessed a great curiosity which led him to ask an enormous amount of questions. His mother had once been a schoolteacher, but even she could not answer all his questions. This being the case, he ...read more

Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more
