In a clear and compelling message titled “Let Us Adore Him,” Pastor David calls us to move beyond seasonal tradition and into true worship. Christmas, he reminds us, is not just about celebrating a birth—it’s about responding to a name. The name of Jesus was given with intention and power, carrying the promise of salvation, rescue, and restoration for broken people. Adoration begins when we recognize that Jesus didn’t come to stay distant, but to draw near.
Rooted in Isaiah 9:6, the message highlights the prophetic names of Jesus—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. These aren’t symbolic titles; they describe how Jesus meets real needs in real lives. He brings wisdom where we’re confused, power where we’re weak, presence where we’ve been abandoned, and peace where anxiety and chaos reign. Adoring Him means trusting who He truly is, not just admiring Him from afar.
We walk through the journey of the Magi in Matthew 2, emphasizing that God often uses what we already trust to lead us to Jesus—but there will always be resistance along the way. Like King Herod, fear and control still try to keep us from fully encountering Christ. Yet when the Magi finally came face to face with Jesus, they bowed, worshiped, and surrendered their treasures. Their response reminds us that receiving God’s all requires surrendering our all.
The message closes with a simple but powerful challenge: don’t just return a different way—return differently. An encounter with Jesus should transform how we live, love, and believe. This Christmas, Let Us Adore Him isn’t just an invitation to worship for a moment, but a call to let Jesus change everything—now and forever.
