Episode Details

In this compelling Christmas message, Pastor Steve Dow digs into the story of the Magi and their gift of gold, challenging us to fully submit our lives to the King of Kings. The wise men didn't bring Jesus a gift from the clearance rack; they opened their treasures, signifying that they had given Him their entire heart. This message asks a crucial question: Is Jesus truly the King of all your life—your decisions, emotions, bank account, and time—or just a Sunday acquaintance? Discover the profound peace and provision that flow from giving Him your very best. -- We must give our best to Jesus because He is the King of Kings. -- His Kingship means He is preeminent; He will never negotiate for space in our lives, but must be above our jobs, spouses, children, and plans. -- Before the wise men gave their gold, they surrendered themselves by falling down and worshipping Him, demonstrating that giving your best is an act of submission. -- Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also; giving God your "gold" (time, talent, treasure, trust) shows Him He is worthy of your very best and not your leftovers. -- The gift of gold served as practical provision for Joseph and Mary's journey to Egypt, proving that when we honor the King, He sustains our journey and plans for our needs before the crisis occurs.
