Sermon: Sincere and Insincere Worship 12/29/2009
Find out what happens when an insincere king mixes it up with sincere Christ-seekers. The king gets exposed as someone who uses scripture and people to benefit himself, and the magi from the east leave us an example of sincerity in seeking Jesus.

Just as we trust and follow road signs as we drive, we need to trust and follow God's signs. In Isaiah, God promised a sign of deliverance in the form of a baby...and he calls us to orient our lives around that sign. God's gift to us is a child, a baby called "Immanuel," which means, "God is with us." Sermon: Trusting God's Sign Accompanying slides can be viewed here. Sermon Slides: Trusting God's Sign 12/16/2009
