Episode Synopsis

What are you really seeking, and how do you know when you have found it?In this sermon, we reflect on the Feast of Epiphany and the story of the Magi from Matthew chapter 2, exploring what their journey reveals about God, worship, and our own lives. Epiphany marks the moment when Jesus is revealed not only to Israel but to the wider world, as the Magi become the first Gentiles to recognize and honor him as King. By looking closely at their actions, we discover four key movements of faith that shape this story and invite our response: seeking, recognizing, offering, and worshiping. In contrast, we also examine the responses of King Herod and the religious leaders, who encounter the same revelation but remain unmoved. The sermon invites us to consider the danger of spiritual complacency and the grace of a God who meets people where they are, even in unexpected ways. Ultimately, this message calls us to bow our hearts, wills, and lives before Jesus Christ, the true King, and to live as people who are still seeking, still offering, and still worshiping.
