Hope for the Nations, Part 2
Series: O Come, Immanuel!
Preacher: Kevin Smith, Senior Pastor
Special Service

Passage: Matthew 2:1-12
-------------------
The wise men's journey to find Jesus reveals that genuine seekers of Christ are always rewarded with God's presence. When they found the newborn King, their response was immediate worship and lavish gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Their example teaches us that true worship requires sacrifice and complete surrender. God doesn't just want our time, talents, and treasures - He wants us entirely. The areas we hold back from God often become barriers to experiencing His fullness. This Christmas, consider what you're still withholding from Christ and surrender those areas to His lordship.
