Great Expectations: Magi
December 18, 2022
In powerful and yet often unseen ways, God is working over the course of generations, leading people of very odd and strange beliefs to adore, trust and even worship His first born Son, Jesus Christ. This message unpacks the story of these mysterious pagan visitors from the East, who have showed up in Jerusalem to recognize Israel's new King. According their traditions passed down over centuries, and several astrological signs, they believed that Jesus would not only be the Savior who would liberate the Jews, but also the Persians from the tyranny of the Roman Empire. Be prepared to get hit with a new sense of wonder of the newly born king!

What is your expectation? One that is just beneath the surface of your heart. An expectation that you haven’t yet let go of. Something you carry with you even now. It’s a secret hope. One that you treasure. It’s a desire of what could happen. Of the kind of person you could still become. Of the change you still long to see. The entire expectation of a nation rested on one man. So much hope. So much longing. And in a way that defies expectation, that man, Jesus Christ not only met those expectations, but exceeded them. Even the ones still inside of you can still find fulfillment in Him. This Christmas series will take you through the journey of longing and fulfillment found in biblical stories of the arrival of Israel's Messiah & give you courage to place even greater expectations in Him.
