Christ-miss King Herod the Great Have you ever missed an important event? Something that would’ve been a life changing part of your life? There’s a man I know who were going to call John.

Jesus' kingly authourity challenges our proud autonomy, yet his weakness assures us of His selfless love.

Jesus will either be a threat to your life or a source of joy

Part Two - A brief series of three messages from Matthew's Gospel for Christmas 2020 (and the New Year) to remind Christians that our hope for 2021 is not in improved circumstance but in Whom we trust and serve. By faith in Him we need not fear or falter but press ahead in His fullness.

Herod the Great's response to the birth of Jesus reflects the heart attitude of a majority of the world's population. This sermon takes a look at Herod's response to the birth of the Savior.

Two nights ago we looked at and considered how the common writers of John, Luke, and Matthew responded to the birth of Christ by sharing it in written form and making Him known We looked at Joseph and Mary as the obeyed the Lord’s message and pondered on the things they heard We considered the shepherds……

The opening of Luke's Gospel records the reaction of two people to incredible news. Their reactions couldn't be more different: the one whose news is more positive doubts, yet the one whose news is more threatening rejoices. What are the secrets to Zechariah's (the father of John the Baptist) and Mary's (the mother of Jesus) reactions? How can we accept God's work in our life more like Mary than Zechariah?

Welcome Well, good morning everyone! My name is Dan Osborn and I serve as the Pastor for Park - Forest Glen! I’m really grateful to be here…I also want to give a shout out to those of you who are watching online right now with the live stream! We’re continuing in our Advent series this morning [EXPAND]…

Today Pastor Robert walks us through an overview of the Gospel of Matthew including historical context that might be helpful to know. We learn about Herod the Great and the King of the Jews.

Recognizing the new King

In Matthew's gospel account, we come across two kings. One lives in a comfortable palace in Jerusalem, while the other king lives in a little town named Bethlehem. A group of wise men from the East spots the star signifying the king of the Jews has been born! They wish to worship and give expensive gifts to him in honor of his coming. In this message, we discover who we are in this Christmas story - are we the wise men or Herod? This question is answered by how we respond to the newborn king.

The Herods were a family of despotic kings that fought their way to the top and murdered to stay there. There was then and now is real evil luring behind in the halls of power but the kingdom of darkness can’t hold a candle to the kingdom of light. Aaron Bauer preaches from Acts 12:1-5.

Are you a genuine worshiper of Christ?

"The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay." Don't you love Christmastime? Baby Jesus. Mary Joseph and the wise guys--and don't forget the shepherds! All serve to bring into focuse "the reason for the season." But we know that Jesus didn't stay a baby. He grew up, spent time as an iternant preacher, did miracles, trained disciples. The Jesus died. Crucified. Then he was buried and rose again! He ascended to the Father's right hand as Lord of all. As Lord over all. As we know, our governmnental system does not indicate "Lord." But Christians do. Come with the Grace Unted crew as we explore what it means that Jesus is Lord.

Ranging from the silence of priests to the tyranny of ancient kings, from the voices of angels and prophets to the most lowly of shepherds and women at the time, the story of Advent has in it so much detail worth looking into and noting. Today we will be zooming into the story of the incarnation, but through the eyes of the last person most readers would have expected. Today we will see Advent through the eyes of power, through the eyes of King Herod the Great.

God saved His Son so His Son might save us.

Intro Peace We see a lack of peace around the world. We see a lack of peace in our town. Last week we broke the murder record in Indianapolis. We can have a lack of peace in our hearts Transition Before we get into the text today, we need to look at the people involved. Two are kings and and there is…
