Even though Jesus at this point, is a small child, and born into humble origins, the son of a carpenter, he is in fact a King. The one and only King. King over all the earth. He’s not sitting in the palace with Herod, but nevertheless, he is a King.

But what kind of King is he? We’re going to look at a few Kings in this passage to learn more about what kind of King Jesus is, and why we should do as the wise men do and bow down and worship him.

The Gift - Gold - Caroline Barnard

These wise men bring gifts that would have made sense to them. These were valuable items, and they were bringing gifts for a King. But, as we are hinted at in Isaiah 60, these gifts were also part of God’s plan for revealing the true identity of this child. Offerings of thanksgiving and praise:
o	Gold – sovereignty and Kingship
o	Frankincense – this child is worthy of worship
o	Myrrh – death and sacrifice

The Gift - Frankincense - Simon Elliott

Have you ever heard the saying it is better to give than receive? That sounds like the kind of sage advice you might see on an inspirational Instagram post, doesn’t it? Would it surprise you to know that it is actually from the Bible? The apostle Paul, in Acts chapter 20, said to his friends “remember the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Over the last couple of weeks we have looked at the gifts of Gold and Frankincense already, and today I want to focus on the gift of Myrrh. And I’m just going to come right out and say that Myrrh is a strange present to give to a toddler. It’s a sticky, fragrant, resin substance that’s extracted from a particular tree.

The Gift - Myrrh - Sean Hammond

The Nativity And Controversy

Merry Christmas folks from Sharon and I. This morning I want to share with you the Word of God .....Let is turn our Bibles to Matthew 1:18.....This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about. Hos mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. Did you know that? A recent polling shows many Americans do not.........

Joseph Accepts Jesus As His Son

A unique and beautiful rendition of the classic Christmas hymn What Child is this?

Nations shall Come to Your Light - Sermon for Epiphany 2024-01-07

In the quiet of the night, a star appeared so bright
It called out to the wise, to seek the holy light

Far across the desert sands, they traveled from the East
With treasures in their hands, for the newborn King of Peace
Gold to crown Him, frankincense to praise
Myrrh for the sacrifice, the Savior’s path was laid

Oh, the Epiphany Star, shining so bright
Guiding the wise to the Savior tonight
A journey of faith, from near and afar
We are led by the light of the Epiphany Star

They knelt before the child, in a stable cold and bare
The King of all creation was lying gently there
Their hearts were filled with wonder, their spirits found the truth
In the face of Jesus, eternal light renews

Oh, the Epiphany Star, shining so bright
Guiding the wise to the Savior tonight
A journey of faith, from near and afar
We are led by the light of the Epiphany Star

Follow the light, through darkness and fear
It will lead you to the One who wipes away every tear
The star’s still shining, calling you by name
To the child of Bethlehem, forever the same

Oh, the Epiphany Star, shining so bright
Guiding the wise to the Savior tonight
A journey of faith, from near and afar
We are led by the light of the Epiphany Star

In the quiet of the night, the star still shines so bright
Guiding hearts to Jesus, the everlasting light

The Epiphany Star

CHRISTMAS 2024 Series - The Inevitable Questions Christmas Brings | Part 1 - Matthew 2 - Christmas time is here...and once again, the business of the season is trying to draw our attention and focus from what is really important to celebrate the TRUE MEANING of Christmas.  When Christmas comes, we are faced with "inevitable" questions, which the characters of the Christmas story certainly faced.  In PART 1, we are faced with the very first question:  DO YOU CARE ENOUGH?  In Matthew Chapter 2, we are introduced to three groups of characters partakers of the Christmas story:  Herod the king, the priests & scribes (Sanhedrin), and these mysterious men coming from the East...the Wise Men, also known as the Magi.  How did they answer the inevitable question?  Come and listen!

Discover how the journey from a star to a manger reveals God's plan, the power of prayer, and the hope of following Christ this Advent season.

Following the Stars

[Verse] 
Wise men travel far Guided by a distant star In the quiet of the night Seeking out a holy light  [Verse 2] 
Footprints in the sand Cross the desert burning lands Gifts they carry in their hands For a child born to our lands  
[Chorus] 
Gold they bring for a king Frankincense for praise they sing Myrrh for the sorrow and the pain For the One who will reign  
[Verse 3] 
Bethlehem they reach the door Mystery they can't ignore Innocence in manger rests Peace and love in child's breath  
[Bridge] 
Voices whisper through the air Angels sing and shepherds stare Miracle for all to see Child of divinity  
[Chorus] 
Gold they bring for a king Frankincense for praise they sing Myrrh for the sorrow and the pain For the One who will reign

I'm a pastor, dad, husband, and child of God.  I'm broken, but  blessed. The cracks are where the Light shines through.

My mission is to help people grow closer to God with every breath and step I take. I gave my life to Christ at an early age and have grown closer through the years, spurred on by the study of the Bible, my church family, and the Chrysalis and Walk to Emmaus Communities. I accepted the call to full -time ministry as a pastor in 1999 and have served 4 different churches in Georgia. Music, preaching, and teaching are the heart of my ministry.

Outside of the pulpit, I enjoy many hobbies that help me blow off steam.  These include martial arts, woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, cooking, and being creative.  I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none.  My philosophy is use what you have, do it yourself if you can, learn something in the process, and have lots of fun.  This channel is a place to share it all with you.

God loves London. A lot. So do the people of Everyday Church. We meet every Sunday for services across South London, as well as during the week to spur one another on to follow Jesus every day. Young or old, christian or not too sure, new to town or London born and bred – there is a place for you in the adventure which is Everyday Church.

For God’s Glory Alone Ministries is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are dedicated to serving the body of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching and commentary of current events.

I am a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Pastor serving Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Madison, Ohio & Grace Lutheran Church in Thompson, Ohio.

Based in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, we are all about moving people in following Christ.

I like to make Christian music, inspirational, religious, spiritual, , klove worthy, uplifting, Jesus music. 
I’m trying to send informational music through this site messages of worship, praise, spiritual, religious. Sacred Sunday Sabbath music all week, but it’s not your grandmas Sunday hymns. I am also going to be sharing miracles I’ve seen with my own eyes, through my music. I will start to feature these songs in my new YouTube videos ( millennial reign) from now on. 
I also act in The Chosen tv series, and The Promised Land tv series.
Just trying to spread uplifting messages through any way I can.
