Sermon: Finding Satisfaction in God
Series: Advent 2023
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
Teacher: Bro. Chris Carter

In this sermon, Bro. Chris Carter explores the journey of the wise men who traveled from the East to find and worship the newborn King, Jesus. These esteemed individuals, with their positions, proficiency, and resources, set out to discover the One who was worthy of their time and attention. Their unyielding determination to seek and worship Jesus serves as a powerful example for us all.

As we unravel the layers of Advent, Bro. Chris shares how the Christmas story beautifully fulfills ancient prophecies, illuminating the path to the birth of the Son through a guiding star. He discusses the importance of paying attention to the signs of God's presence in our lives, even when they may not be as visible as a star in the sky.

The wise men's wisdom extends beyond their ability to navigate the physical world; they also possess the discernment to recognize the evil intentions of King Herod. Their choice to bow down in worship, acknowledging the divinity of Jesus, reveals the essence of true worship. As A.W. Tozer once said, "Jesus did not redeem us to make workers – He redeemed us to make us worshippers."
