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?

Jesus’ Sabbath Invitation to Come | Matthew 11:25-30

August 16, 2026by Dr. Jim Adams

In our fallen ways, we often think rest is what we earn after working hard. In God’s plan, however, rest cannot be earned, but can be given and received. Even though God gave Israel the Sabbath to create a culture of people dependent of his grace, they constantly turned down his invitation in the pride of their hearts. Jesus came to invite us to back to the source of all grace. For he made us and our heart is restless until our it rests in him.

What Difference Does it Make? | Exodus 20:8-11

August 9, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Sabbath is God’s sacred rhythm reminding his redeemed creatures of his gracious generous provision. God wanted to create a whole culture different from the fallen nations of the world; a culture that would wholeheartedly receive his grace and whole heartedly surrender to him. Theirs was to be a culture where one’s life is a constant rhythm of receiving from God to offer back as willing, living sacrifices. No longer would they worship empty idols out of fear and lack but worship would be a reply to the One who made them and redeemed them to bless him, blessing others as…

In Egypt, the people of Israel had learned to survive as slaves. Their life was cheap and they were expendable. Everyone had to pull their weight. For many years they knew nothing but toil and pain.
