Herod: Voice of Deception and Magi: Voice of Adoration
Matthew 2:1-8 and Matthew 2:9-12
There are still two more voices of Christmas echoing in the air. Come hear King Herod's voice of deception as he fears the new kingdom that Jesus establishes. Yet he does not understand that Jesus is not an earthly king. His kingdom is not of this world. We also struggle to understand how Jesus is our king. The magi bring the voice of adoration, as they bow down to worship the new king. This is our response to Christmas. We come to worship Him, too.

    Joseph: The Voice of Reason
    Matthew 1:16-25
    This Sunday is our big Christmas concert, with choir, orchestra, skits by the kids, and carols. You don’t want to miss it! There will also be a guest appearance from Joseph, the human father of Jesus. Joseph, a simple carpenter, brings the voice of reason amid the twelve voices of Christmas we hear this year. Christmas challenges our reason, our thinking. It forces us to look at things differently. God is doing things that don’t necessarily make sense. Come hear how in Christmas, God challenges you to rethink your life, and shows you what you couldn’t see before!
