Are we missing Jesus as King in our lives?

As we kick off the Christmas season at illuminate church, this message explores the profound significance of the Magi’s gift of gold to baby Jesus, revealing Him as the ultimate King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Drawing from Revelation 19:11-16 and Matthew 2:1-11, we journey from the triumphant vision of Jesus as the conquering rider on a white horse to the humble nativity where wise men from the east recognized His kingship from birth, bringing extravagant gold fit for royalty. While many missed the arrival of the true King, the Magi saw the star and worshiped, giving gold that symbolized His divinity, glory, and the establishment of His kingdom—echoing the gold-adorned temple in 1 Kings 6 and the pure gold city in Revelation 21.This message challenges us to ask: Are we missing Jesus as King in our lives? It calls us to live as sons and daughters of royalty, embracing our identity in Christ with infinite abundance, status, and protection, while walking in obedience to His beneficial commands. We also examine the call to give our treasure extravagantly and sacrificially, as in Matthew 6:21, where our heart follows our giving—not because Jesus needs it, but because we need to declare with our lives, “You are my King.”CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!
