The Wise Men Got it Wrong? (Matthew 2:1-12)
As intentional and heart felt the Magi’s homage may have been, they seemed to follow their own assumptions of what the Messiah ought to be. Using Isaiah 60 as their blueprint, the wise men ended up in Jerusalem, looking for a child who was not there.

The Crime of Christmas
"At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!"

The Good News of Christmas (AM)
While our modern culture celebrates Christmas with decorations, songs, and gifts, many Christians take time to remember the “reason for the seasonâ€. Beyond a superficial understanding that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, we must dig deeper into the ultimate consequences of Christ’s birth.

God Connoisseurs
At The Oaks, we believe that all of life is worship. King Herod was a man who worshiped himself and his own rule above all else. Matthew contrasts Herod with a mysterious group of men called "The Magi". These men rolled into town and had a life-transforming encounter with the one true God, and were transformed. Pastor Kevin connects what we can learn about worship from both parties, and what true transformation looks like.
