Sermon: Finding Satisfaction in God
Series: Advent 2023
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
Teacher: Rev. Paul Lawler
In this sermon, Rev. Paul Lawler uncovers the significance of the Wise Men's actions and the rich symbolism behind their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Contrary to the common portrayal in nativity scenes, these learned and influential individuals didn't visit the baby Jesus in the manger; rather, they arrived months or even a year later at a house.
Pastor Paul explores the deeper meaning of worship as an act of submission and alignment with God's heart, driven by His kindness. He explains how worship isn't just about our satisfaction but ultimately about glorifying God and finding our everlasting joy in Him.
In this sermon, you will reflect on the power of God's presence and the transformation it brings to our lives. You will recognize the fallenness of the human condition and how Jesus offers us beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness in mourning, and the garment of praise in times of heaviness. You will walk away with a new importance of living for Jesus and the incredible ways He is awakening hearts around the world.
