Christ’s Supremacy | Matthew 2

Either Christ is Lord of all or he is not Lord at all. Jesus will not tolerate nice titles and a good place among many in the pantheon of our idolatrous allegiances. Christ was born to be supreme and the sole ruler of our hearts. The world will not take kindly to that but it doesn’t matter how hard the world tries, Jesus is and will always be supreme for he is King of kings and Lord of lords. Are you ready to surrender your life to him?

Why does the supremacy of Jesus’s birth as King of the Jews demand that his followers prioritize Kingdom politics over worldly politics?

Christ’s supremacy as King of the Jews…

Exposes the gruesome reality behind worldly politics.
1. A kingdom ruled by fear and insecurity (2:1-3).
2. A kingdom ruled by intrigue and manipulative deception (2:4-8).
3. A kingdom ruled by the power of violence and death (2:13-19).
Challenges his followers to prioritize God’s kingdom agenda over the agendas of the world.
1. Choose your side: the dependability and stability of the prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 2:2-6, 16).
2. Discern truth: The reliability and trustworthiness of God’s word (2:5-6).
3. Pay the price: the sacrificial nature or joyful worship (2:10-11).

The Herods of this world are overcome when God’s people make glorifying God through Jesus alone the highest purpose of their lives. Don’t let the noise of worldly politics drown the message of Christ in your life.

Is the enemy trying to neutralize your witness by getting you caught in the polarizing politics of our culture? If politics have become a louder voice in your life or head than the witness of Christ, perhaps this has become an idol of which you must repent. Confess and repent so that we may be healed (James 5:16).
True worship is costly. When you sacrifice your personal agendas at the feet of Christ and make pleasing him the supreme priority of your life through the giving of your time, talents, and treasures, you join the many who defeat the world by pledging allegiance to the lamb.
Have you given Jesus your unconditional “yes”? Or are you still flirting with the world?

It’s Time to Grow Up! | James 1:1-25

February 22, 2026by Diego Mota

We live in a culture where it is fairly easy to call ourselves “Christians” and never be changed by Christ. It is possible to grow up around the church, know the language of faith, and still lack a faith that endures, obeys, and transforms. How does God grow authentic followers of Christ into spiritual maturity?

When love spills over | Col. 2:6-7, John 15:5-17

Healthy things grow but not everything that grows is healthy. Because DFBC exists to multiply Christ-like disciple-makers, this is a critical time for our church family to loot into our lives and commit to God’s priorities. Since we multiply who we are, it is imperative that we become who God wants us to be. Are we ready to grow?
