A Tale of Two Kings | Luke 2 | Behold the King Series

from Northview Church · host Northview Church - Kodak, Tennessee

We think we have to climb up to God, clean up to belong, and earn our way to peace. But the story of Jesus' birth shatters all three lies. While Caesar Augustus ruled from his throne, demanding allegiance, God sent His Son to a manger—coming down so we could come close.In this Christmas message, we contrast Caesar's empire with Jesus' Kingdom and discover what it means that the King came down. You don't have to work your way up. You don't have to get your life together first. You don't have to control everything to find peace. The King came down. You can come close.Scripture: Luke 1:26-38, 46-55; 2:1-20Series: Behold the King | Behold the Christ | Behold the Lamb🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a message!
