Sermon Notes:

• The Birth of Jesus Began a Conflict Between Kings and Kingdoms
  • Matthew uses the word king 3 times to describe 2 very different people
  • God had promised a true and eternal king like David would come
• Embrace King Jesus Over Any Other King
  • Jesus was the true and worthy king of Israel, Herod wasn’t
  • Jesus died to be the absolute king of your life – embrace no others!
• Devote Yourself to Christ’s Kingdom
  • Jesus came to usher in His Kingdom here on earth
  • Devote yourself to that mission – the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom
