The Christmas story presents two contrasting responses to Jesus: the Magi, who traveled great distances and bowed in worship, and King Herod, who was disturbed and sought to destroy Him. These responses mirror our own human condition. When we truly encounter Jesus as King, we face a clash of kingdoms — our desire to rule our own lives versus surrendering to His reign. True, lasting joy is found not in building our own kingdom but in seeking Jesus as King and allowing His kingdom to be realized in every area of our lives.
Pastor Pat McCalla · Oct 27, 2019
Drawing from the book of Joel and Revelation 19, Pastor Pat McCalla shows that Joel stands at the crossroads of history, pointing backward to what God has done and forward to what He will do — culminating in the return of Jesus as the warrior King of kings. Just as Joel called Israel to return to a God who is merciful, compassionate, and slow to anger, so too are we invited to know Jesus not merely as Savior but as reigning King. Because He is Lord of the past, present, and future, His people can lay down their fears and live with confident, unshakeable hope.
