Is Jesus Your King or Your Competition? The Fear Behind Herod's Silence
Executive Pastor of Ministries Donald opened with a classic — hiding in the backseat at Taco Villa — and spun it into one of the most searching questions of the Christmas season: is Jesus your King or your competition? Anchoring in Matthew 2:1–16, he built the message around King Herod — not a monster by nature, but a man whose fear and insecurity turned him into one. Herod had the information, the proximity to the prophecy, and even called a meeting about the Messiah — but never made the five-mile trip to Bethlehem that the Wise Men traveled a thousand miles to complete. Nothing could stop Jesus from coming, and the only question left is whether you'll step off the throne and let him be yours.
