Sunday, 21 December, 2025

Discover the profound lessons from the wise men's incredible 1,500-mile journey to worship baby Jesus in this powerful Christmas message. Learn why these wealthy, influential men from Persia were willing to sacrifice everything to find the newborn King of the Jews, while others missed the Messiah entirely. This inspiring biblical teaching explores the three different responses to Jesus that we still see today: King Herod's hostile rejection, the religious leaders' indifferent knowledge without heart, and the wise men's wholehearted worship and devotion.Uncover the four essential aspects of genuine worship demonstrated by the wise men: actively seeking Jesus, rejoicing in His presence, giving Him worth through humble prostration, and offering treasures as acts of faith. This Christmas sermon reveals how true worship requires sacrifice of time, resources, and sometimes reputation, challenging believers to examine their own hearts and commitment to following Christ.Perfect for Christmas preparation, this biblical message about the nativity story, wise men, and worship will inspire you to seek Jesus with renewed passion. Whether you're studying the Christmas story, looking for Christmas sermon inspiration, or seeking to deepen your worship and relationship with God, this teaching offers practical applications for modern believers.Key topics covered include: Christmas story lessons, wise men journey, biblical worship, seeking Jesus, Christmas devotion, nativity story meaning, following the Holy Spirit, sacrificial giving, and preparing hearts for worship.
