The King Appears: Few Bow, but Many Battle | Matthew 2:1–12
In this powerful expositional teaching, Pastor Brandon dives deep into Matthew 2 and uncovers the profound Hebrew roots behind the visit of the Magi. Far from a typical Christmas message, this lesson reveals the rich prophetic and historical context of Jesus' birth, showing how His arrival was anything but mythical—it was calculated, confirmed, and foretold.
Discover:
The true timeline of Jesus’ birth (6–7 BC)
Why the Magi believed in the Messiah and made the two-year journey
How Balaam’s prophecy and Daniel’s influence shaped their faith
What the star really was (hint: it wasn’t a planet or asteroid)
The sinister character of Herod—and how his reaction mirrors today’s culture
This message isn't just about ancient history—it's a wake-up call for our times. Just like the first century, our generation is either hostile, indifferent, or hungry for the true King. Which are you?
