Matthew 2:1-12

From 'Whatever' to 'What If?'

As we come to the end of another year, how many times have you heard someone say, “This year has just flown by?” Is it possible that while we have all become experts on how to stoke anticipation for Christmas, even Christians still struggle with knowing how to maintain enjoyment of all that Christmas means for us in the coming New Year? The story of the visit of the Magi in Matthew 2 is a contrast between two very different kings with two very different kingdoms. One kingdom is the sighing kingdom of “Whatever.” The other is the wonder-filled kingdom of “What If?” One is a kingdom marked by indifference, the other a kingdom in which every person and every moment of time has been designed and created for a transforming encounter with Christ. Is there a way to move our spiritual life from a bored and disinterested “whatever” to a hopeful and curious “what if?” Join Pastor Jim as he connects some of the dots of God’s unfolding plan of redemption history and shows us how we are all invited to choose Jesus as our king and begin living right now in the kingdom of heaven!
