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

Daniel walks us through Matthew 2 and what we learn about Becoming God's People.

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.

WhatOpens Our Eyes?Matthew2:1-23HomeMoravian Church, December 28, 2025

Sometimes the most dramatic changes in our lives happen while we sleep, and we wake up to find everything has shifted. This was Joseph's reality in Egypt, where he had been living as a refugee with Mary and baby Jesus for about a year. They had fled to escape Herod's murderous decree, leaving behind everything familiar to protect the Christ child. But God wasn't finished with their story. Matthew records Herod's death with striking simplicity, showing how even the most powerful oppressors eventually fall while God's purposes continue. When the angel commanded Joseph to return to Israel, he obeyed immediately without hesitation, demonstrating the pattern of complete obedience that marked his life. However, learning that the brutal Archelaus now ruled Judea brought new fears. Rather than being paralyzed by this threat, Joseph sought divine guidance and received direction to settle in Nazareth. God's choice of Nazareth reveals His kingdom's nature - it comes not through power and prestige, but through humility and unexpected places. This insignificant village, so small it's never mentioned in Old Testament writings, became home to the King of Kings. The pattern shows us that oppressors fall but God's purposes endure, opposition continues but so does divine guidance, and God's deliverance often comes from the most unlikely sources. Whatever challenges we face have expiration dates, but God's plan for our lives never expires.

What authorities can we trust? When is it right to question them? Join us as we explore how acts of resistance—like those in Scripture—can become grounding acts of faith or become distractions that lead to the disintegration of our spiritual communities.

In Matthew 2:13–23, we see Joseph obeying God's surprising command to flee to Egypt, Herod's attempt to destroy God's plan, and the ultimate assurance that nothing can stop God's redemption through Jesus. This passage reminds us that obedience often comes with a cost, but God's purposes are always good and unstoppable. In this message, we'll explore: Why Joseph's obedience matters for us today How God works through unexpected and uncomfortable places The hope we have when evil seems to prevail What it means to trust God's timing and plan Key Takeaways: God's call may lead you to unfamiliar territory—but He is with you. Evil cannot overcome God's plan for your life. Jesus is the true Son who brings redemption and hope.

How do you know if you are truly saved? The biggest sign of salvation is life change. True salvation always produces a wonderful life transformation. In this message called, THE MIRACLE OF TRANSFORMATION, Pastor Jeff Schreve shares three steps the wise men took that produced in them, and will produce in us, real transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit. This message is from the series, THE MIRACLES OF CHRISTMAS.

Today’s Bible Verse “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” — Matthew 2:11 Matthew 2:11 captures the heart of Christmas worship. The Magi traveled far, followed faithfully, and when they finally encountered Jesus, their response was surrender. They bowed, they worshiped, and they offered their treasures. On Christmas Day, this verse reminds us that worship is more than words—it’s a posture of the heart. Jesus doesn’t ask for what we can afford to give; He invites us to offer what we value most. True worship begins when we recognize who He is and respond with our whole selves. From all of us at Lifeaudio & Your Daily Bible Verse team: Merry Christmas! Want to listen without ads?

Matthew 2:7–12 - Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. [8] And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” [9] After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. [10] When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. [11] And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. [12] And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way. (ESV) THE EVENING MINDSET IS COMING!

Matthew 2:1–8 - Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea @in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, [2] saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” [3] When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” [7] Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. [8] And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” (ESV) THE EVENING MINDSET IS COMING!
