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?

Sabbath’s Provision in Creation | Genesis 1, 2

July 26, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

In Genesis 1 and 2 God creates a good world with the power of his word. Day by day he shapes the world carving space and time for his creatures. Humanity is his final work, created at the end of the sixth day. Humanity is the last of God’s works. In his kindness, God provided Sabbath for his creatures, king and queen, as a provision to enter into the glory of his magnificent grace. Creation is to be enjoyed and used as a window into the goodness of God’s heart. An instrument of wonder and provision pointing back to that…
