Matthew 2:1-23
The Unstable King | Matthew 21:12-22 | Matthew 21-23 by Hunter Bible Church
A media ministry publication of Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana. Moments of transforming grace from the Bible.
In this message from Matthew 5, we examine the Beatitudes and the kingdom ethics laid down by King Jesus. The post The KINGDOM of the King (Matthew 5:1-12) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.
One day soon, King Jesus will sit on His glorious throne in Jerusalem — and every person will stand before Him. Some will hear the most beautiful words ever spoken: “Come, you who are blessed of My Father.” Others will hear the most tragic: “Depart from Me.” In this compelling message from Pastor Jeff Schreve, discover the sobering reality of the judgment of the sheep and the goats, and the incredible mercy still available to all who will repent and believe. The King's word is final — but today, His invitation still stands.

In this final message of the Advent series, Pastor Billy Driver preaches from Matthew 2:1-12 about how people respond to the coming of Christ. He identifies three distinct responses to Jesus's birth: King Herod responded with hostility because he felt threatened and wanted to maintain his own power and throne; the chief priests and scribes responded with indifference, knowing the Scriptures intellectually but showing no interest in actually seeking the newborn Messiah just five miles away in Bethlehem; and the Magi responded with worship, traveling over a thousand miles to fall down and adore Christ with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Pastor Driver emphasizes that the birth of Christ should shape our worship throughout the entire year, not just during the Christmas season. He challenges the congregation to avoid both hostility and indifference, instead responding like the Magi with faith that results in joyful worship. The sermon concludes with a call to repent and receive Christ as King, believe and trust Him by faith, and worship Him with exceeding great joy, followed by an invitation to the Lord's Supper as a response of remembrance and renewal.

We welcome Christ, the King who fulfills every promise. The King has come — the promised Messiah, born in Bethlehem, who now reigns forever. Christmas is the beginning of His kingdom's unveiling.
Rev. Austin Pfeiffer shows how the Christmas story reveals a deep human power struggle: from Rachel's tears to Herod's fear, Matthew is exposing our anxiety-driven desire to control what only God can rule. Herod becomes a mirror of our own hearts, where fear of losing our “little kingdoms” leads us to resist Christ the King. Advent invites us to lay down that anxious control and find true freedom by surrendering to the King who conquers not through violence, but through self-giving love.
Pastor Micah Klutinoty in Matthew 2:1-12 shows us how the visit of the wise men reveals Jesus as the true King of the nations by drawing people from afar, exposing hearts, fulfilling prophecy, and even threatening worldly, godless power while still a baby. Their costly, joyful worship confronts us with a choice: the King who humbled Himself to become a child is worthy not just of our attention, but of our whole-hearted worship and entire lives.
Pastor Spencer walks through Matthew 2:1-15, tracing the very different responses to the birth of Jesus, from worship to hostility, from joy to indifference. As the wise men search for the newborn King, King Herod responds with fear and resistance, revealing that while there are many ways to reject Jesus, there is only one way to truly receive Him. This message invites us to examine our own hearts and consider how we respond to Jesus as King. In a world marked by grief, power struggles, and uncertainty, we are reminded that God is near, His purposes are unfolding, and darkness does not get the final word. In this message, we see: - How God draws all kinds of people to Himself using all kinds of circumstances - Why many reject Jesus—not only through open hostility, like Herod, but through quiet indifference - The tension we feel when Jesus' kingship confronts our desire for control - Why Scripture is essential for truly knowing where God is leading us - What it looks like to receive Jesus by faith through joy, worshipful submission, and generosity - How the gifts of the wise men point not only to a King, but to a Savior who would suffer and die in our place - This sermon reminds us that although grief, opposition, and suffering are real, death and darkness do not have the final word. Jesus, the true and better King, entered our broken world not to take power—but to give His life, inviting us to receive Him by faith.
Almost nothing in Matthew 2:1-12 goes as expected; but this shows us much of the wideness of God's mercy in Christ.

Title: The Upside Down KingSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this Sunday sermon from Calvary Monterey, Pastor Nate Holdridge examines Matthew 4:1-11 and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Pastor Nate reveals how Jesus' forty-day testing reversed Israel's forty-year failure, demonstrating what kind of King he would be—one who lives by God's Word, trusts the Father's care, and maintains exclusive loyalty rather than taking shortcuts to glory. Through careful exposition of each temptation, Pastor Nate shows how Jesus fulfilled Israel's story as our representative, teaches us how to endure temptation through Scripture, and models the servant-King leadership that defines his entire ministry. The message offers practical guidance for pursuing satisfaction God's way, developing trust-based relationships with God through remembrance and worship, and rejecting idolatrous crowns to receive the imperishable crown from God. Pastor Nate concludes with a clear gospel invitation, calling listeners to trust in the Upside Down King who conquered sin, Satan, and death through his perfect obedience and sacrificial love.Link to Discussion QuestionsLink to Sermon Notes
