Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from June 7, 2026. Matthew 2:1–12 — The Wise Men Seek the King Matthew 2 records the journey of the wise men from the East as they follow God's leading to find the promised Messiah. While King Herod viewed Jesus as a threat and the religious leaders knew the Scriptures but failed to act on them, the wise men responded differently—they sought Christ, pursued the truth, and worshiped Him when they found Him. Their story highlights that true wisdom is not simply knowing about God but responding to what He reveals. Through fulfilled prophecy, joyful worship, and obedient faith, Matthew shows that Jesus is the long-awaited King worthy of the devotion of all people, both Jew and Gentile. - Rick Cornejo - Sunday, June 7, 2026

God will not allow Herod to kill the Christ as a baby, so the Lord sends His angel to Joseph so that he will take Mary and Jesus to safety in Egypt. This fulfills the Word of God from Hosea 11, showing Jesus to be the people of Israel reduced to one Man. Herod's foiled plan leads to murderous rage, and he kills the boys of Bethlehem in an attempt to kill Jesus. Even in such evil actions, however, the Scriptures show that the Lord remains present for His mourning people. For all Herod's raging, he still dies, and the Lord brings Joseph, Mary, and Jesus back to the land of Israel, where they settle in Nazareth. This too fulfills the Word of the Lord that the Christ would be despised by men.  Rev. Nate Hill, pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Winchester, TX, joins host Rev.

After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, surprise Gentile seekers come to Jerusalem looking for the newborn King of the Jews. These magi had heard the promise of the ruler's star from the Holy Scriptures when God's people were exiled in Babylon. Their search had a rough start when they went to the wrong place and asked the wrong king for help. Herod the Great had other plans for this boy after learning the Christ would be born in Bethlehem. His murderous intent did not stop the magi's joy, however, as God led them to the Christ Child, whom they worshipped with extravagant gifts. Though the magi were the first Gentiles to worship Jesus, thanks be to God that they were not the last!  Rev.

David Antwi delves into the intentionality behind the Triumphant Entry, exploring why Jesus transitioned from a private ministry to a public, prophetic arrival in Jerusalem. This sermon unpacks the layers of meaning behind the 'Hosanna' cry and the profound question that moved a whole city: 'Who is this?'

From quiet moments of surrender to unexpected interruptions in ordinary days, God often meets people in ways that awaken awe and move hearts to respond. The first Christmas was filled with these holy encounters—moments that drew ordinary men and women into extraordinary worship.As we look through the eyes of Mary, the shepherds, and the magi, what can their encounters teach us about seeing Jesus rightly?Join our spiritual family this Christmas as we behold the coming King and rediscover how wonder, obedience, and devotion shape a life of true worship. Across three Sundays, we'll reflect on their stories and be invited to respond with the same heartfelt adoration to the One who stepped into our world—worthy of all honor and praise.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible on this 15th day of April, day 106 in our journey through the Scriptures. I'm your brother and Bible reading coach, Speaker A, and together today we'll explore stories of faith, reversal, and God's power to transform our lives. We'll begin with the iconic battle of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, discover David's heartfelt praise in Psalm 9, and encounter the wonder of the wise men's visit and the flight to Egypt in Matthew 2. Along the way, we'll be reminded that God loves to turn the tables—using what seems weak to overcome the strong—and that true victory comes from trusting in Him. Join us as we listen, pray, and show up for another day of transformation in the pages of God's Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God enjoys reversals. You see it again and again through the story of scripture. Where the very weapons of an enemy are turned back on themselves. Where the strength of giants falls to the weakness of faith. Take Goliath—that enormous, armored enemy defying the people of God. His height, his armor, his weapons are all intimidating and overwhelming. But David steps onto the battlefield with nothing but a sling, a handful of stones, and trust in the God who delights in making giants fall. God reverses the supposed power of those who oppose him. David, the psalmist, reminds us: "They have dug a pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it." And it is not only with David and Goliath—this pattern finds its greatest expression at the cross. The cross, meant to destroy and defeat, becomes the very means of victory. What was used as a weapon against Jesus was turned into the instrument that defeated sin, death, and the grave for all who trust in him. God is in the business of turning things around. He brings about the great reversal at the cross for you and for me. It's not the sword, spear, or javelin that wins the battle, but the presence and power of the Lord of Heaven's armies. Whatever giant you're facing, it can be faced with faith, not armaments. Today is a good day to remember the God who brings reversals and rejoice in it. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

He was both an example and a proof that the days of anointed eyes and anointed tongue are not past, and that the unction from the Holy One (1 John 2:20), which confers both spiritual perception and effective utterance, was not confined to apostolic times. “This commentary on the Gospel of Matthew is the latest and ripest of his life's labors. It will be found as a tree laden with rich fruit and evidencing a soil uniquely fertile and a culture that reveals a divine husbandman. We predict for this volume a larger sale than for any of Spurgeon's previous works, partly because it is his latest and has in a sense the aroma of his dying days, and partly because it is a simple, brief, and charming memorial of the most effective popular preacher of his age. Every page is, like his sermons, full of his Master and yet sparkling with his own unique individuality. They will be found to disclose many of the secrets of his power in discerning, expounding, and applying the gospel. The reader will find himself here keeping perpetual company with one whose soul followed hard after God, and who loved the paths where his Savior had trodden before him. “May the inspiring Spirit, who guided the evangelist Matthew in the production of this narrative, become to all readers of this commentary the illuminating Spirit also; and through these pages may he who is dead still continue to speak!” - Arthur T. Pierson. Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, February, 1893 About the Author Charles Haddon (C. H.) Spurgeon (1834-1892) was a British Baptist preacher. He started preaching at age 16 and quickly became famous. He is still known as the “Prince of Preachers” and frequently had more than 10,000 people present to hear him preach at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. His sermons were printed in newspapers, translated into many languages, and published in many books.

As we turn the page to Matthew 2:13–23, Pastor Mike Skedeleski helps us to see the sovereign hand of God guiding and protecting us according to His redemptive plan, even when it seems to lead through danger, displacement, and sorrow. We learn that Joseph is obedient when told to take Mary and baby Jesus and flee to Egypt. What appears chaotic is actually fulfillment. God is retracing Israel's story and proving Himself, through Jesus, to be the True and Promised Deliverer.   Matthew shows us that even in heartbreaking tragedy, God's purposes prevail. From Egypt to Nazareth, every movement fulfills prophecy and demonstrates that God remains faithful to His promises. Pastor Mike reminds us that God's guidance requires our trust, even when we don't understand. God leads us step by step, and our calling is to obey with faith. In every season, whether marked by clarity or confusion, we can rest in the assurance that God is directing our path toward His greater purposes and ultimate redemption.

Israel's Most Wanted (Matthew 2:12-23) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove

As we look into Matthew 2:1–12, we meet the wise men and their lengthy journey which teaches us about true worship. Set against the backdrop of political tension and fulfilled prophecy, the passage contrasts three responses to Jesus: hostility, indifference, and wholehearted worship.   Herod, a self-proclaimed king, responds to the news of Christ's birth with paralyzing fear and self-preservation. Though he knows the prophecies concerning the Messiah, he refuses to surrender his throne. The chief priests and scribes possess biblical knowledge and can quote Micah with precision, yet they remain unmoved. Close to the truth, yet cold-hearted and unwilling to seek the Savior. In contrast, the wise men travel hundreds of miles at great cost, seeking the King not for power or information, but for worship.   Pastor Maiola explains the difference between looking for what is merely intriguing and instead choosing to focus on what is truly important. While many details of the star and the magi spark curiosity, the central message is clear: God sovereignly guides seekers to Christ. Maiola challenges us to pursue Christ wholeheartedly and to offer Him worship that is costly, sincere, and filled with joy.
