Are you searching for peace and direction this Christmas? In the hustle of the holiday season—between the to-do lists, family expectations, and the quiet ache of missing loved ones—we all find ourselves searching for a sense of peace that often feels just out of reach. In this message, we look at the journey of the Magi and the resistance of King Herod to discover the only true "GPS" for the human soul. We explore how the arrival of Jesus, the True King, forces a necessary choice for every heart: Will you submit to His authority with joyful worship, or resist Him with fear and calculated deception?. In this sermon, you’ll discover:
- The Authority of the True King: Why our "internal guidance systems" are broken and why we need an eternal source of truth outside of ourselves.
- The Herod Test: How to identify the "fearful resistance" in our own hearts that keeps us from experiencing God’s peace.
- The Joy of Surrender: Following the Magi’s example of transferring our allegiance to the only One worthy of our worship.
- The "Other Way": How to maintain your direction by obeying God’s Word and leaving behind the habits of the past.
"This Christmas, do not just make room for Him in the manger of your traditions; make room for Him on the throne of your heart."
